PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
At the moment when Hong Kong Island was fighting for life, Mr. Wu of 91 North America put all his thoughts on his "Brave Series" movies.

This movie determines how many chairs he will sit in Hollywood next...

"Bravely Entering the Deadly Island" (Shi Po Tian Jing) was officially released in more than 500 theaters and nearly [-] screens in North America when "Evil and West Poison" was released.

This data is enough to prove that the distributor Bowei and the producer attach great importance to this commercial action film.

It can be seen that the theaters value Wu Xiaozu...or Jack Bruckheimer.

The success of Wu Xiaozu's three consecutive films in North America is a kind of qualification in itself.

Especially during the time before Christmas, NBC, CBS and other channels have inserted a 1 minute and 15 second promotional clip of "Into the Deadly Island" for several consecutive days, and also played the programs that the crew participated in.

Simultaneously,

The movie promotional draft of "Into the Deadly Island" appeared on the entertainment sections of mainstream and second- and third-tier newspapers in Xinxiang, San Luodu, Chicago and other major ticket warehouses, and many film critics who participated in the film screening even took money After that, I began to help to tout it responsibly.

At the same time, Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris also appeared in the entertainment news one after another to increase exposure, and frequently appeared on TV shows for interviews to promote the film .

Of course, Mrs. Ah Tang will definitely not let it go.

For a while, photos of Mrs Cruise and Brother Cruise basically monopolized the entertainment page in Los Angeles.

Cruise even offered to help the movie platform.

after all……

Leaving aside his wife's role in this movie, the main reason is Jack Bruckheimer's relationship. It's understandable for him to help promote it. Of course... During the promotion, he also expressed many times that he and Wu Xiaozu are like-minded. Friends', hope to have the opportunity to cooperate.

Little did they know that the two had already cooperated with their sister-in-law.

The promotional cost of "Into the Deadly Island" is nearly ten million. This figure is still a huge amount of money in Hollywood in the early 90s. This is also the foundation for Wu Xiaozu's continuous success. There is another one, the producer Jack Bruckheimer played a vital role.

There are many films produced by the six major film companies every year, but such a huge investment project will still be cautious, even Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" will still have a complete review process, project approval, shooting, production, Propaganda requires long-term research before the actual typesetting decision.

It is rare for a large company to make a decision based on an unspoken rule or a slap in the face.

Therefore, this also proves the distribution company's trust and expectations for the movie "Brave to Kill the Island".

For this reason, the premiere of this movie was also held on "Alcatraz" for the first time. During this period, many news also mentioned this "notorious" island, and popularized it to readers in North America. relevant history.

Many TV stations followed up and made corresponding reports.

It can be said that the film's propaganda department is using all resources to pave the way for this film.

This is also the reason why the film spent nearly [-] million yuan in publicity expenses in the early stage.

Although such a publicity cost of nearly 6500 million yuan is not as good as the [-] million US dollars of "Jurassic Park", the god-like publicity amount.

But this is almost the same as the promotional expenses of the truck driver "Terminator 2" in the past two years. It can be regarded as the standard amount for a mainstream commercial film.

With the red top and white is played by Hollywood clearly.

The reason why Bo Wei has such a bold investment is not because Wu Xiaozu is good-looking, but because he has been successful--the box office results of "Chinatown" and "Pulp Fiction" are convincing enough.

Even the non-English film "No Man's Land" has earned millions of dollars in the North American market. You must know that this film is only shown in a small area of ​​dozens of screens...

This kind of achievement makes them naturally have enough confidence.

Coupled with the fact that their people watched the promotional screening of "Into the Deadly Island", the company gave an 'A' rating internally, thinking that this movie would become a blockbuster in the Christmas file.

In fact, every movie release is a new gamble for Hollywood companies.

It's just that some chances are high, and some chances are small.

I have to say that this time Bowei made the right bet!

On the day of the premiere, it was screened simultaneously in 2585 theaters across the United States.Among them, the attendance rate in the Los Angeles area exceeded 5690%, and the single-day box office performance was close to US$70.00. Results in other regions may vary, but through the 90.00 audience feedback questionnaires collected from the midnight show, A+ The scoring rate reached [-]%, the scoring rate above A accounted for [-]%, and the scoring rate below C was only [-]%.

Such scoring feedback may not fully prove the prospect of "Into the Deadly Island" at the commercial box office, but it has basically reassured Bo Wei enough.

The premiere box office did not disappoint everyone's expectations-$27, which is enough to rank second in the year, second only to the $450 of "Jurassic Park" released in the Universal summer file. score.

You know, the latter is stepping on the previous year's "Batman 2: Batman Returns" record of $45 and then out of control...

1993 is also known as the "Year of the Dinosaur". Before the release of "The Bravery of the Deadly Island", this dinosaur has won more than 9 million box office results worldwide, setting a new box office record and becoming the box office champion of film history.

It wasn't until the big ship many years later that the record was broken.

Now that "Into the Deadly Island" can get the premiere score second only to "Jurassic Park", it is already surprising enough.

In previous years, this data could even win the annual premiere box office champion... But even so, among the crowd of "Philadelphia Story", "Gannet Assassination Order", and "Old Urchin", "Bravely Entering the Island of Death" is also It really showed its true qualities as a dark horse at the box office.

It won the North American box office championship with a score of 4500 million U.S. dollars on the first week, overwhelming the IP sequel of "The Nun is Crazy 2".

At the same time, theaters and distributors have raised the box office expectations of the film.

In the previous life, three years later, the film earned $1.34 million in North America and $3.35 million worldwide despite being unpopular and getting off to a bad start.

In this life, more attention is paid to the film, and the promotion channels are wider, and although many bridges such as speeding cars and plane collisions seem to be "vulgar", but the explosion that stimulates the adrenal glands and makes people unable to move away from the screen is definitely the ultimate , Coupled with General Hammer's sensational treatment later, the whole movie is full of commercial attributes.

As a popcorn movie, this drama absolutely succeeds.

Some film critics even ridiculed Wu Xiaozu because of the frequent "explosion" scenes throughout the movie, and gave him the title of "Exploding John".

Many people did not expect that such an international film master who has always been successful in dealing with art and commercial cooperation will still be so successful after transforming into a commercial popcorn film director——

If Xiaozu Wu became famous in Hollywood before, after this battle, Xiaozu Wu became famous completely, and he is basically qualified to be promoted to the ranks of first-line commercial directors...

Although it may be at the end of the crane, there is no problem at the front line.

The results are here, no one can say anything...
