Chapter 484 "Taken 2" released

"The Martian" was released in the mainland for 8 weeks, and it took a total of 2.14 million yuan at the box office.

However, its weekly box office has fallen below 100 million, and it is estimated that the final box office will stop at 2.16 million yuan. It is no longer possible to catch up with "Hero".

However, this box office result temporarily topped the 2005 annual box office champion without any suspense, and the current annual box office runner-up is Xu Ke's "Seven Swords", with a total box office of 8345 million yuan.

The box office of "Seven Swords" is not even half that of "The Martian", which can be said to be far ahead.

Now let's see how Chen Kaige's "The Promise" will perform at the final box office, if "The Promise" loses to "The Martian" at the final box office.

Then, Chen Hao is likely to win his first mainland annual box office champion in the fifth year of his debut.

Chen Hao was also able to fill in the vacancy of his own honor. After all, Feng Dapao has won it twice, and it is a bit unreasonable for Chen Hao not to take it again!
Now the mainland film market is temporarily taken over by Cheng Long's "Myth", followed by "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", "King Kong", and "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles", but I believe everyone is looking forward to Chen Kaige's "The Promise". ".

In the end, how did Chen · "Farewell My Concubine" eat for a lifetime · Open Song's first commercial film perform, and can it be compared with Guoshi's "Hero"?
Can it compete with "The Martian"?
All the media and fans are looking forward to it.

……

Time soon entered October, and while Chen Hao was still filming "The Da Vinci Code" in the UK, the first film invested and produced by Liang Tianchi Films this year officially had its world premiere.

The small-budget $450 million thriller "The Inn of Human Skin" chose to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, but it's still a long way from its official theatrical release.

In order to promote the film as much as possible, Smart also planned to take "Human Skin Inn" to Iceland to participate in the Iceland International Film Festival. As for the official release date, it was changed to January 2006, 1.

The first film released by Liang Tianchi Films in theaters this year is the action shootout "Taken 2". Xiaohu also went to the United States to promote it.

In view of the good reputation and box office performance of the first part of "Taken", Liang Tianchi Pictures regards it as the most important film of this year.

And Sony Columbia is also very optimistic about this sequel. After all, although most of the sequels are bad, their box office performance often exceeds that of the first one.

Therefore, this time, Liang Tianchi Pictures and Sony Columbia contacted 2 theaters for "Taken 3661", making it the largest release of the film in the same period.

2005年10月7日，星期五, 10月的第一个周末，《飓风营救2》在北美3661家影院登陆。

"Taken" also lived up to the expectations of Tianchi, Columbia, and major theaters. This sequel film grossed 1860 million US dollars on the first day, which far surpassed the first day of the first film.

After the three-day weekend, "Taken" also topped the weekend box office rankings in North America as expected!
Summary of North American Weekend Box Office Rankings (2005.10.7-2005.10.9):
No. 1, "Taken 2", released for 3 days, with a box office of 5000 million U.S. dollars this week, Tianchi Pictures, with a cumulative box office of 5000 million U.S. dollars, and 3661 theaters;
No. 2, "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Rabbit", released for 3 days, with a box office of 1610 million US dollars this week, DreamWorks, with a cumulative box office of 1610 million US dollars, and 3645 theaters;

No. 5, "Gospel", released for 3 days, with a box office of 752 million US dollars this week, Mubao, with a cumulative box office of 752 million US dollars, and 2601 theaters;
……

It is still expected that "Taken 2" won the weekly championship, but the box office reached 3 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, which is somewhat beyond expectations.

However, while getting a high box office, the word-of-mouth of "Taken 2" is not satisfactory, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 20%, showing a situation where it is not well-received.

The runner-up on the list is "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Rabbit". In this year when cartoons are scarce, each one is regarded as a treasure by movie fans.

Coupled with the 3645 theaters that DreamWorks has exhausted to arrange, everyone thinks that it will be in an anxious battle with "Taken 2".

However, what is puzzling is that it only sold more than 3645 million at the box office under such a large screening scale of 1610 theaters.

However, contrary to "Taken 2", film critics praised the film to the sky, thinking that it is an animation with an overall rating of A-.

This not only means that the Oscar journey of "Madagascar" may end early (both brothers under DreamWorks, but the overall review is only B-).

It also gave Warner's "Corpse Bride" a heavy blow (Tim Burton's wonderful style, only B+ grades).

Of course, if the film wants to make a difference in the Oscars, it must sell at least 1 million, otherwise it will be difficult to get the attention of Academy members.

Ranked third is "Stealing High Heels", although there is the super big name of the blonde beauty Cameron Diaz (the second woman after Julia Roberts in the 2000 million salary club).

However, due to the disadvantages of "Stealing High Heels" on the subject matter of literary ethics, as well as the media's mixed opinions on the film, it is normal that it cannot be sold well.

The box office of more than 1000 million made 20th Century Fox completely disappointed.

And Diaz's salary for this film is less than half of what he dubbed "Shrek", although when taking this kind of literary film, the stars will play at a low price (so Nicole is poorer than Roberts and Diaz, because she I've been shooting niche literature and art for a long time).

But whether "Stealing High Heels" can restore the situation of losing money still needs to be marked with a big question mark.

The evaluation of B is equivalent to a red light for Diaz, who wanted to enter the Oscars with this film.

I like young women playing ugly women and pretending to be nervous, and old ladies making fools of themselves and acting stupid. The unhealthy aesthetic addiction of the college judges is really outrageous.

I don't know what their mother or sister did to them in childhood?
Referring to Freud's theory, they should make many films with unethical themes...

……

"Chen, you are amazing!" Lying in Chen Hao's arms, Sophie Marceau murmured with half-closed eyes.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, he didn't speak, and it was just a routine operation.

"Chen, how about I give you a baby?" Sophie Marceau said casually.

　Thanks to "{Tongtianjiaozhu is a good person}" for the reward!
