America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 357 355. Bombardment, breaking records again

Wow!
Bang bang bang.
In two and a half hours, it tells a complete story.

A more grand narrative, a broader worldview, more intense battles, more tragic scenes, and it also lays the groundwork for a sequel.

There is no doubt that "Transformers 2" is definitely a commercial blockbuster with full sincerity.

Whether it is the script, actors, special effects, props, music, or publicity, MGM has shown its utmost sincerity in every aspect.

Even Eric Cooper made his first big-screen cameo appearance. How can you not love this kind of movie?

Listening to the applause and cheers from the audience, Gadot was delighted.

"We succeeded dear, everyone seemed very satisfied, the audience was very enthusiastic."

Eric nodded slightly in a pretentious manner: "Of course, don't you see who is behind this?"

"Who dares not put their heart and soul into the scripts I write? Transformers is my first big production after taking over MGM."

"It is also a work that symbolizes MGM's re-listing and re-emergence. No matter how much effort it takes, I must make this series a success."

Amidst warm applause, the creators came on stage to accept thanks.

Although Eric was a producer and writer, he actually only served as a screenwriter.

It cannot be said that the producer did not take responsibility. At least he held a meeting and visited the set twice.

If you are a bit more unscrupulous, you can just say that you did the cutting yourself. Anyway, I did the job, so you tell me whether I did it myself or not?

So when it came to the development of the plot, fans and reporters naturally ignored the director and asked directly for his opinion.

"Mr. Cooper, the movie is great, but what I want to ask is, are you going to whitewash Megatron? He doesn't seem to be that bad anymore."

Eric smiled and said, "It's mainly because Megatron's appearance time in the first film was too short. He could only show his strength but not his character."

"In fact, if you have watched the anime, everyone knows that the relationship between Megatron and Optimus Prime is very complicated. It is not a simple binary opposition."

“In this film we also reveal the deeper pasts of the two men, and they face a unified enemy, Unicron.”

"As for not killing Optimus Prime in the end, Megatron is an evil but proud man who disdains to use this method."

"Think about it, I even defeated Unicron, so why would I care about Optimus Prime?"

"Of course, he is a villain after all. Don't sympathize with him just because he occasionally shows some glimmer of hope. In the end, he will still fail."

"It seems a bit pathetic to say that."

Hahahaha
Another audience member asked: "Mr. Cooper, is the Black Widow plot a clue for the third film?"

"Will the artificial King Kong created by Leland become the villain in the third film?"

"Also, is the Jazz dead or not?"

Faced with this question, Eric naturally couldn't give more answers, after all, it was just a line.

The third film will not be released until two years later, and no one is sure how many changes will be made in the meantime.

"The Black Widow plot will definitely be completed in the third film, but I can't reveal too much about the plot."

"Okay, okay. Actually, I haven't had time to think about it yet. Let's dig the hole first."

"As for whether the Jazz live or die, I think I'll leave it to the audience."

"You guys should buy more Jazz merchandise. As his popularity increases, the third part will naturally reappear."

Hahahaha
There was another laugh below.

After the premiere, Eric chatted with a few good friends for a while before going home.

If nothing unexpected happens, the box office of "Transformers 2" should be considerable.

Because Disney's blockbuster "Chicken Little" had mediocre box office performance, only grossing a little over 300 million worldwide.

You won’t lose money, but you will definitely not make any profit.

But for Disney now, no profit means loss.

Because Mickey Mouse really needs to boost morale and needs a box office hit movie to stabilize the army. On the contrary, "Twilight" has a global box office of nearly $5 million, and the cost is only one-fifth of "Chicken Little".

If you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will lose them.

Is Big Brother still okay? Now it has become a pain in Disney's heart.

So the other party got scared and didn't dare to confront "Transformers 2" head-on. They simply gave up the opportunity in August and didn't release any movie.

Since Disney doesn't want to join, other companies are not stupid and will naturally avoid head-on competition.

So much so that during the entire August schedule, except for the last week, there was only one commercial blockbuster, "Transformers 8", in the first three weeks.

With the right time, place and people, it’s hard for the box office not to explode.

"Get up!"

There was a loud noise, and the curtains were pulled open accompanied by Gadot's roar.

The sunlight fell on Eric and the girls. Elizabeth groaned and climbed onto Eric again.

Eric rested his head on Theron's chest, drooling down her nipples.

Nicole snuggled up to Ashley and Mary on each side, and the five of them lay together on the super large bed.

"Open your eyes! The box office is out! We've broken the record!"

Eric suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her: "What record did you break?"

"Stupid! Of course it's the first day record, you see."

As she said this, she carried the notebook to the bed. Like everyone else, Gadot was naked.

But I'm used to it anyway. Summer is hot, and everyone has fought against each other before.

After playing so many ranked matches, I don’t feel ashamed of being naked anymore.

"No need to look at the computer, I have something more convenient."

I picked up my phone and found that the text message had been sent a few hours ago.

As the boss of MGM, he naturally had the data earlier than anyone else, but he was so busy last night that he forgot to look at it.

“5660 million US dollars, yes!”

The other five girls also opened their eyes one after another, and were delighted to see the number.

Not only did it break the record, it also took a huge lead.

The current global first-day box office record holder is "Star Wars Episode 3" from a few months ago.

At that time, it broke the record of 5000 million US dollars held by "Frozen" with a box office of 4720 million US dollars.

Just as the media predicted, the only films that could compete with "Star Wars Episode 3" were "Transformers 2" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", and now the Autobots have done it.

Looking at the film and television industry, the current first-day box office records are ranked as follows: No. 2 "Transformers 5660" with $ million.

The second place is "Star Wars Episode 3" with 5000 million US dollars.

The third place is "Frozen" with 4720 million US dollars.

Fourth place: "Shrek 2: The Monsters" with $4610 million.

Fifth place: "Transformers" with $4510 million.

The sixth place is the former king "Spider-Man".

There is no need to watch the rest. You can see that everyone’s scores are very close, but when it comes to Transformers 2, it’s far ahead.

It is uncertain whether "Order of the Phoenix" can break the record. It is highly unlikely. The "Harry Potter" series has never set a record before.

As for next summer's "Dragon Ball", it is possible, after all, it is Eric Cooper's own work and he is truly in charge of it.

The result of $5660 million made everyone except Disney very happy, but they soon realized that it was too early to be happy.

When the box office revenue for the first three days of the weekend came out, everyone understood what a box office explosion meant!
