Chapter 500： No one knows what he is thinking (1/2)
Chapter 500 No one knows what he is thinking
When the sunset ended on December 15-21, a new issue of the North American Weekly Box Office List was released. After receiving a high reputation, ”Magic Director” was released in 2850 theaters for two days, and received a total of 22.83 million box office!
The average single museum is $ 8,010, ranking second in the weekly list. Although it is not a box office bomb explosion grade, it is not a weekend for these two days! Twenty million is already a very strong performance. The name of Miracle Yang has not disappointed. Paramount President Brad Gray and others have exhaled for a long time. If there is no accident, conservatively estimate ”Magic Director” The box office in North America will not be lower than 80 million, optimistically estimated ... more than 100 million!
This is too important for Brad Gray. Profitability is the longevity of the position of president. Paramount ’s record this year has not continued well. Before this week, 12 new films were released on a large scale. At present, the North American box office has exceeded 100 million and has There are only two potentials to break through the 100 million potential, ”Outside the Fence Wall” (155 million) obtained from the acquisition of DreamWorks, ”Mission Impossible 3” (134 million) starring Tom Cruise, who has already fallen down, and so on There are gains and losses from outside, ranging from the big-earned ”Foolish Monster Show 2” to the ”Last Holiday” and ”Mouse Country Rovers” (Dreamworks).
In total, the company did not make much money. Another 85 million cost new film ”Charlotte's Net” that was highly anticipated this week opened in 3566 theaters. It was 18.8 million at the box office in seven days. Fortunately, its rotten tomato index has a decent 787167. , It should not be a serious loss.
What's more fortunate is that some of the projects were there before he took office, and he only promoted the success of marketing; and ”Magic Director” is one of the projects that he decided to put into production after he took office as the new president. The last movie in the cooperation agreement between Mongolia and Scott Ruding, Rudin has decided to take over, and has taken over Miramax, but it is necessary for the two parties to maintain a good relationship. The joy of ”Magic Director” Let the relationship between the two sides pick up again.
Looking at the performance of other films this week, this plot biographical film is even more gratifying. Fox's 100 million cost new film ”Dragon Knight” only sold 30.49 million box office, %% adapted the film.
”Just as you can't resist the movie of Miracle Young, you will find yourself watching” Magic Director ”again and again. It easily becomes one of the best movies of the year.”-A +, Christie Lemir, The Associated Press.
Looking at its box office and evaluation, Gray became more intoxicated and happier the more he watched, not only the box office sales, but also this year's Oscars. His career has been the most beautiful hit! What a pleasant Christmas!
I really want to thank Wang Yang, whom you see everybody, and of course, the more important thing is to have a good relationship. Magic Yang has not been invited to attend the premiere before, nor did she have any opinions on the film, resulting in a lot of topics. With the reputation of being a ”genius agent”, Brad Gray naturally knows how to speak to make him happy. He called Wang Yang to compliment a few words, and asked him if he was watching the movie, was he dissatisfied? Wang Yang directly said: ”I haven't watched it, but I am definitely not satisfied because my family is not satisfied.”
In the end, Brad Gray still couldn't make Wang Yang laugh happily, but he also ridiculed a few words in a cynical tone: ”If you decide to shoot a sequel, you can contact me, I will consider directing myself.”
”I didn't expect me to be so popular.” In fact, when Wang Yang knew that ”Magic Director” had a box office of 12.62 million on the first day, he smiled and said to Jessica: ”I should make this theme.” Although I think the idea is good, but Jessie Ka was a little confused: ”Take a biographical picture for yourself?” Wang Yang haha said: ”Other people can write an autobiography, why can't the director make an autobiography?” Jessica feels very reasonable, you can make a love comedy first! She smiled and asked, ”When did you shoot?” Wang Yang shrugged: ”When I am no longer young, I will remember the past, decades later.”
did not expect? Unexpectedly, it should be that the biographical film about Miracle Yang was actually painted in 2006! A lot of filmmakers are very strange and regretful. They are too old-fashioned and influenced by some stereotyped ideas. It's time to make this kind of biographical film!
According to the survey data, 75 viewers are under 35 years old and 40 under 25 years old; 57 of them are female audiences. It can be said that young people throughout North America are dispatched. Although there is no clear data, everyone knows that Asian audiences It is a force that cannot be ignored. While overseas, tens of millions of viewers are looking forward to this movie. Young people in several big ticket warehouses in Asia are looking down. It is also expected to be introduced to mainland China next spring!
According to the current word-of-mouth momentum, its global box office can exceed US $ 200 million at any time!
How many such films are there in a year? Not much, no wonder Jon Filtimer and others at Lions Gate beat their feet. But now ”Magic Director” has eaten the cake first, even if Wang Yang can dig many stories, such as the prison incident until the ”Ninth District” won the award, but no one will follow suit immediately, the market hunger will take time, and The performance of ”Fantastic Director” is far from certain. Not only the filmmakers, but the whole world opens their eyes to see how powerful it is.
Anyway, in the past two days, the media have praised it one wave after another. David Finch and Alan Sorkin needless to say, they have already been taken to the altar, and some people began to say that this is their masterpiece, It is no longer ”Seven Deadly Sins”, ”Fight Club”, no longer ”Yihai Xiongfeng” and so on.
Although ”Magic Director” only received one nomination for the best screenwriter at the Golden Globe Awards, but looking at the current reaction scene, everyone knows and is discussing how many Oscar nominations and how many Oscars can it get?
Every cult must have fans, and fans are naturally crowded. There are also many fans of Finch. For his new work, fans of Finch are divided into two groups. One group is very excited and happy. Finch directed 6 films. For the first time so majestic! At the same time, he was unanimously praised by the film critics and audiences for the first time. He finally found a balance between business and art, public hobby and personal style! Previously, Vinci self-assessed ”Magic Director”, he said: ”It is very suitable for dating, it will be a pleasant movie watching.”, ”Its rhythm is very unique, but more mainstream, very good movie.” ... …
Now he can shout loudly: ”This is a mainstream dating movie!”
