Chapter 611 [The Hobbit 2] and Zhang Nan’s deterrence

North America.

After [The Hunger Games 2] experienced early success, its box office stamina plummeted as Warner Pictures expected.

By the fourth Monday of its release, the single-day box office in North America had dropped to less than two million US dollars.

Then Warner Pictures didn't care about Monday and Monday, and directly held the premiere of "The Hobbit 12" on December 9.

no way.

The Christmas season has only lasted so long, and it has already avoided "The Hunger Games" for nine days. If it drags on any longer, we will face "Voldemort 2" starring Zhang Nan, with Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp playing supporting roles.

Originally, Zhang Nan's box office appeal was quite exaggerated.

Now coupled with Robert Downey Jr., who has a global box office of 3 billion US dollars for "Iron Man ", and Johnny Depp, who has replaced Zhang Nan as the new protagonist of the world's top series "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Warner Pictures can't even imagine how big the box office appeal of [Voldemort 2] will be.

Therefore, Warner Pictures arranged for [The Hobbit 2] to be released before [Voldemort 2].

But the best Warner Pictures can do is to place it between "The Hobbit 2" and "Voldemort 2". Such a small favoritism for the weak.

Because both films are projects of Warner Pictures, the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh.

As for Warner Pictures' eccentric arrangement, Zhang Nan also responded with an indifferent attitude.

Without it.

Just confidence.

His version of [Voldemort 2], in the [Harry Potter] magic series, is basically [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2].

But the quality of his version of [Voldemort 2] is higher than [Fantastic Beasts 2].

[Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2] has a global box office of 6.54 million U.S. dollars. Zhang Nan believes that his version of [Voldemort 2], even without the cast, can have a global box office of million U.S. dollars. box office.

If you include the cast lineup...

Although Robert Downey Jr. has not yet reached the peak of fame in later Marvel Studios, "Iron Man 3" has basically completed the main body of his personal box office appeal.

I dare not say more, but his supporting work can at least add 2 million US dollars to the box office of "Voldemort ".

After all, in the early 2020 of its original time and space, "Dolittle's Bizarre Adventure" had a global box office of US$ million under the pressure of special events.

But now there is no pressure from special events, and the balance is not fully developed. Finally, with the blessing of the [Harry Potter] theme, Zhang Nan feels that the prediction of a box office of 200 million US dollars is a bit restrained.

And Johnny Depp has been overshadowed by him a lot in these years.

But Zhang Nan’s cover-up was mainly to cover up the major film and television companies’ views on Johnny Depp, but it could not cover up Johnny Depp’s image in the eyes of fans.

After all, it is impossible for Zhang Nan to stand in front of Johnny Depp in the movie scene.

Therefore, Johnny Depp's box office appeal is still in place. This is evident from the fact that his previous starring role in "Alice in Wonderland" directly exceeded one billion U.S. dollars in box office in the original time and space. However, under the suppression of Zhang Nan in this time and space, it is still comparable. It can be seen from the box office of more than 900 million US dollars.

Therefore, I dare not say too much, but the box office appeal of US$150 million is still there.

Finally, counting Zhang Nan's actual box office appeal accumulated during these years of prosperity, it is at least about 400 million.

This [Voldemort 2] must have a global box office of at least to billion US dollars.

And this box office ignores the schedule.

If you include the schedule support and add another two to three billion US dollars, that is normal.

With luck, maybe [Voldemort 2] can break the $ billion global box office threshold.

Therefore, this time Zhang Nan did not recharge the huge box office appeal accumulated in his golden fingers for [Voldemort 2], and was only waiting for 'dividends'.

……

The premiere of [The Hobbit 2] went smoothly. The final box office data is also very impressive.

US$3119 million on the first day, US$2443 million on the second day, US$1802.4 million on the third day...

[The Hobbit 2] completed its first seven days in North America and achieved a very impressive result - US$1.2 million.

Directly locking in the top spot in the North American single-week box office rankings.

And if nothing else happens, it can still maintain this position until [Voldemort 2] is released.

Because after learning that two blockbusters would be competing against each other in December, all film and television companies in North America adjusted their movie schedules to mid-to-late January or even early February.

no way.

In this day and age, you don’t have to worry about the release of projects from Hollywood giants, well-known directors, and sequels to top series, regardless of the small film and television companies in Hollywood.

Even if it is done well, it can get a lot of box office following this kind of project.

But for projects starring Zhang Nan.

That is, whether it is a small film and television company or a Hollywood giant, they are all convinced, scared, and intimidated.

Without it.

When it was released, it took over 90% of the box office data on the market, leaving only 10% for all other released films.

What the hell is this!

And this situation is slowly improving as Zhang Nan's status becomes higher and higher.

No one can withstand this situation for a few times. Even if someone can withstand it for a few times without going bankrupt, they will never be stubborn again.

In fact, Zhang Nan didn't think much about causing such a situation.

But there is no way, this is the actual effect of his Golden Finger box office appeal, and he can't control it.

……

Mainland.

Longbow Film and Television City.

Zhang Nan came back from North America once again for a performance.

But this time Zhang Nan also kidnapped George Lucas back.

"This special effects company of yours is developing well. I think it is no worse than Industrial Light and Magic." George Lucas followed Zhang Nan into the studio of [The Wandering Earth] and looked at the special effects layout around him. He sighed knowingly.

After all, this guy is the founder of Industrial Light and Magic, the number one special effects company in Hollywood.

His understanding of special effects is quite good.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have reluctantly produced the [Star Wars] series in the 1970s and 1980s, and then produced the [Star Wars Prequels] trilogy with greatly upgraded visual effects in the 1990s.

"I have spent a lot of money on this for many years, and I have also taken over the special effects production of all Asia and some Hollywood and European blockbusters. If I can't compare with Industrial Light and Magic, then what else am I doing?" Zhang Nan curled his lips. road.

George Lucas nodded in agreement.

Because it was indeed the case, he was also vaguely aware of Zhang Nan's extraordinary investment in the field of special effects over the years.

He even helped introduce some top-level business that Industrial Light and Magic couldn't handle to Zhang Nan's Longbow Special Effects Company.

He has also seen the final results.

The quality is indeed excellent.
