Chapter 450 Chaotic June: Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 Wall-E Kung Fu Panda The Incredible Hulk
After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Peter Jackson smiled and said nothing on the surface, but complained in his heart.

If your offer hadn't been too shady, New Line Cinema wouldn't have been so picky with him. The box office dividends had to be gambled to get.

Yes.

Peter Jackson complained a little about Zhang Nan.

But Peter Jackson only dared to complain a little in his heart.

After all, not to mention Zhang Nan's current power, Zhang Nan's important position in the "Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron" series is enough for Peter Jackson to think about.

Seeing that Peter Jackson remained silent, Zhang Nan couldn't say anything more, but wanted to take a break, so Zhang Nan changed the subject and said, "Peter, did you go to the Oscars in February?"

At the 2008th Oscars in 80, Zhang Nan had just finished working on "The End of Days 2" and was a little tired, so even though the Oscars sent an invitation, Zhang Nan didn't go.

Afterwards, Zhang Nan did not pay attention to this aspect, so he did not know whether Peter Jackson went.

Hearing this, Peter Jackson recalled the past few times he had participated, all of which were highly hyped and had no benefit at all. He shook his head and said, "I didn't go."

"Why didn't you go? I remember you liked attending the Oscars before, didn't you?" Zhang Nan asked curiously.

Peter Jackson felt quite speechless after hearing Zhang Nan's words.

Why did he like to attend the Oscars before?

[Lord of the Rings 3] was nominated for eleven items and won eleven items, including Best Director, Best Picture, etc.

Who wouldn't love going to the Oscars?

But since "Lord of the Rings 3", "King Kong" has won a few side awards, and Peter Jackson has sobered up.

The two chatted for a while, and after the scene was set up, Zhang Nan got up and went to shoot.

……

The time came to mid-June.

Zhang Nan is still filming seriously on the set of "Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2".

The North American film market has become lively.

[Raiders of the Lost Ark] has put [Iron Man] in the same situation as [Hurricane] and [Blackjack] - surviving on a box office of 4+ or ​​tens of thousands of dollars every day.

Of course.

The momentum of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has also declined a lot. The box office on weekdays is only 4 to 300 million US dollars, and the single-day box office for three days on weekends is only 500 to [-] million US dollars.

After all, the competitiveness of the North American summer vacation is no joke. Many people saw the reputation of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" exploded and immediately took the opportunity to take action.

For example, on June 6, [The Chronicles of Narnia 6], co-produced and distributed by Disney and 2th Century Fox, was released.

The movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was in its third week of release, took advantage of the situation and killed you, which had a great impact on the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Surprisingly, [The Chronicles of Narnia 2] was more affected, as if it itself was blocked.

Because the box office of the entire "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" compared to the performance of the first "The Chronicles of Narnia 1" can be said to have dropped by half, almost halving.

You must know that the production fee of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" is as high as 2.25 million US dollars, and it will take at least 4.5 million US dollars to recover the cost.

But judging from the current box office trend of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", it is more difficult to make back the money.

Fortunately, this "Chronicles of Narnia" series, which competes with the "Harry Potter" series, is jointly invested by Disney Pictures and [-]th Century Fox Pictures.

Both companies are giants, so in the end they will probably only suffer a small loss, which is still acceptable.

But it's not over yet.Then Marvel Studios saw the fierce competition between "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" and showed no mercy. It will directly release "The Incredible Hulk" in cooperation with Universal Pictures. On June 6th.

Marvel Studios hopes that [The Incredible Hulk] can complete its revenge on [Raiders of the Lost Ark 4] just like [Raiders of the Lost Ark 4] did to [Iron Man].

I also hope that [The Incredible Hulk] can reproduce the glorious achievements of [Iron Man].

But the result~
"The Incredible Hulk" was released on Friday and grossed US$2146.8 million at the box office on its first day. It grossed another US$1838.3 million at the box office the next day on Saturday, and continued to gross US$1556.2 million at the box office on Sunday.

The box office revenue of the first three days was more than 500 million US dollars, which had a great impact on the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4".

But when it comes to revenge, it's still a bit uninteresting.

and……

[The Incredible Hulk] is in trouble.

Because according to the box office performance of "The Incredible Hulk" in its first week, its total North American box office is between US$1.5 million and US$2 million, and its global box office is between US$3 million and US$4 million.

The production cost of "The Incredible Hulk" is 1.5 million U.S. dollars, and it would have to earn at least 3 million U.S. dollars at the box office to make back the money.

Not to mention the performance of "Iron Man", which has exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars in North American box office and has already exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars in global box office. It is quite difficult to make back the money.

Because this is the summer vacation period in North America, not the other kind of period where the water can flow slowly.

And it is.

6 month 20 day.

The animated film "Kung Fu Panda" produced by DreamWorks and distributed by Paramount has landed in the North American movie market.

It grossed US$6000 million at the box office in North America in its first week, taking the top spot in the North American single-week box office rankings.

Then came September 6th.

The animated film "WALL-E" produced by Pixar and distributed by Disney also made a foray into the North American movie market.

With a box office of more than 200 million US dollars in the first six weeks, Kung Fu Panda once again took over the crown of North American single-week box office rankings from the hands of "Kung Fu Panda".

The market for the North American summer season is strong, but it can't withstand the box office of US$6000 million in a single week!

As a result, [The Incredible Hulk], [The Chronicles of Narnia], and [Raiders of the Lost Ark] were directly crushed, and their daily box office dropped to less than one million US dollars.

And "Iron Man", released in early May, has already begun to accompany "Hurricane" and "Blackjack" released in April, and has entered a state of survival with daily box office of tens of thousands and 21+.

And this is only the summer vacation in June, as for the summer vacation in July~
It is now certain that there will be "Superman Hancock" starring Will Smith, who just appeared in "I Am Legend" last year and is at the peak of its box office appeal.

There is Warner Pictures’ comic book sequel [Batman 2: The Dark Knight].

The two masterpieces have a tacit understanding of each other and are staggered by half a month, basically covering the entire month of July.

And in August~
Many film and television companies have given up on August.

Even if given a choice, let him choose a schedule in July and August.

Many film and television companies will choose to schedule their own movies in July. They would rather compete with "Superman Hancock" starring Will Smith at the peak of history and Nolan's "Batman 2: The Dark Knight". Willing to go for the August slot.

the reason is simple.

Another masterpiece starring Zhang Nan, "Harry Potter - Voldemort", will be released in August.

The global box office of "The Last Day 2" of 32 billion US dollars only started to happen in February. Now in Hollywood, there are really few people who dare to compete with Zhang Nan.
