Chapter 401 Tobey Maguire and Colombia’s standoff

4087 million US dollars in the first week.

The next week it was US$5321.6 million.

In the third week, it once again scored US$1358 million in box office in North America.

Three weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Casino Royale" in North America has exceeded 007 million US dollars, and it is expected to be heading towards the top box office forecast of 1.6 million US dollars.

At the same time, [007: Casino Royale]'s box office performance in the UK was even more explosive. After three weeks of box office, the cumulative box office is close to [-] million US dollars.

Including the box office of other movie theaters around the world, the cumulative global box office of "007: Casino Royale" has exceeded [-] million.

Looking at the box office trend of [007: Casino Royale].

Many box office forecasting agencies have begun to increase their predictions for [007: Casino Royale] - global US$6.5 million.

This is not a low number.

Because Disney Pictures was previously willing to spend a fixed salary of 6.1 million US dollars to invite Zhang Nan to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Although there is the influence of Zhang Nan's unique billion-dollar box office betting agreement, without the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" of 6.54 million U.S. dollars, Disney Pictures would not be willing to spend so much money.

Of course.

Even the box office of [007: Casino Royale] reached the optimal box office prediction result of US$6.5 million.

The new James Bond, Daniel Craig, can't replicate Zhang Nan's bid on "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Firstly, Daniel Craig’s background is incomparable to Zhang Nan. Before “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, Zhang Nan already had the “Matrix” trilogy, “Survival of the Doomsday” and “Rebirth of the Doomsday” series... Waiting for the blessing of the masterpiece.

As for Daniel Craig, apart from the [007] series, there is nothing left.

Secondly, there is a big difference between the [007] series and the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series.

The [Pirates of the Caribbean] series was built from scratch, but the [007] series is an IP that has been cultivated for many years.

[007: Casino Royale] was a success at the box office, but the reason could not be attributed entirely to the leading actor.

Although the actual situation is like this, in the entertainment industry, the only thing that pays attention to news is hype and pranks.

So when the box office of [007: Casino Royale] is getting higher and higher.

Many media have begun to compare "007: Casino Royale" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 1", and Daniel Craig and Zhang Nan.

Some extreme media even spread rumors that Daniel Craig had offered MGM US$007 million in salary for the next [6] series.

Daniel Craig quickly came out to refute the rumors.

Although he enjoys the media bragging these days.

But Daniel Craig still knows how much he weighs, especially the gap between him and Zhang Nan.

After all, when MGM first let out some rumors that they wanted to cooperate with Zhang Nan, he immediately lowered his salary with MGM.

And this movie [007: Casino Royale] made him an instant star in Hollywood.

But his current background is too weak, and he has to rely on the next [007] series to continue to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

If he turns against MGM and loses the [007] series, he will be directly reverted to his original form.

...Zhang Nan didn't pay much attention to these disturbances, because he has never been involved in the field of spy movies, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.

But it won’t work for two people who are deeply involved in spy movies and who made their fortune and became famous based on spy movies.

Because of the emergence of Daniel Craig, there will inevitably be competition between the two of them.

The first one is Matt Damon, who regrets a little bit that he put the filming of "The Bourne Supremacy" in August next year's summer vacation instead of this year's winter Christmas season.

After all, [007: Casino Royale] and [The Bourne Supremacy] are two major types of spy films, and the global box office of more than 6 million US dollars is really eye-catching.

The other one is Tom Cruise.

And compared to Matt Damon, Tom Cruise was even more jealous and uncomfortable after seeing the success of [007: Casino Royale].

Because compared with the [007] series, the former is a new series and the latter is an old series. As a result, [Mission: Impossible 3] was blown away by [007: Casino Royale].

Compared with the new James Bond Daniel Craig, Tom Cruise himself is an old man and the latter is a new man. As a result, the old was blown away by the new.

The most important thing is that Tom Cruise feels that the spy film market is booming again because he pioneered it.

But now the fruits of victory have been picked by others.

But the reality now is that he can only grieve alone.

……

[Spider-Man 3] crew.

Coming to this familiar shooting environment again, Zhang Nan felt a rather depressing atmosphere compared to before.

"Luke, let me ask, what's going on?" Zhang Nan winked at the old Luke who came with him.

After seeing this, Old Luke quietly went to inquire about the news.

After a while old Luke came back.

"Tobey Maguire and Sony Columbia Pictures are having a bit of a stalemate in terms of film appointments for projects after the [Spider-Man] trilogy, so the atmosphere is not very good now," Old Luke said.

Regarding the suspension of the [Spider-Man] trilogy, Zhang Nan also vaguely heard about it in the original time and space, but he didn't know clearly, so he curiously asked: "How much is Tobey Maguire asking for?"

"Tobey Maguire is bidding for [Spider-Man 4.5]. In addition to a one-time fixed salary of 6000 million U.S. dollars, plus a 20.00% total box office dividend." Old Luke told the news.

"Compared with the global box office of the [Spider-Man] trilogy, which easily grossed US$[-] million or US$[-] million, these conditions are not many!" Zhang Nan asked in confusion.

Because you don’t have to compare it with your own salary.

Just compare the salaries of Johnny Depp in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and Robert Downey Jr. in the "Iron Man" series in the original time and space.

Before 2010, although the global box office did not exceed one billion US dollars, it was still the "Spider-Man" series with box office sales ranging between US$[-] billion and US$[-] billion. The protagonist is definitely worth the price.

"So the current situation between Sony Columbia Pictures and Tobey Maguire is a stalemate. I guess Sony Columbia plans to first see the box office of [Spider-Man 3] after it is released, and then spend time with Tobey Maguire. Quill will find out the price." Old Luke gave his own speculation.

Listening to Old Luke's speculation, Zhang Nan also made a mental calculation.

Sony Columbia's current thoughts should be as the old Luke speculated, dragging and grinding Tobey Maguire.

As for Tobey Maguire, he probably also wants to give Sony Colombia a try.
