Chapter 659: Never Lose
On May 2007, 5, which was the third weekend after the release of "The Incredible Hulk", the North American box office totaled 4 million US dollars.

The film was also released in overseas markets, but the results were not very good. It has only earned 4560 million US dollars so far, barely pushing the total box office of "The Incredible Hulk" over million US dollars.

Marvel Studios is communicating with theaters with all its strength, hoping to extend the screening period of "The Incredible Hulk" as much as possible and ensure a certain amount of screenings.

However, theaters focus on results. After all the work, "The Incredible Hulk" still had to give way to "Spider-Man 3" on May th.

Although they are all superheroes from Marvel, it seems that Spider-Man is more popular.

"Spider-Man 3" earned $1627 million in the midnight screenings and $8839 million on the first day, which is higher than the first week box office of many films.

It continued to grow rapidly afterwards, earning $6036 million on Saturday alone, setting a single-day box office record in North America.

But on the third day, the box office took a dive, earning only $3320 million in a single day.

The reason for this phenomenon is that too many fans of the series and moviegoers were driven into the cinema in the past two days. The second reason is that the quality of the film itself does not match the popularity and did not meet expectations.

But no matter what, the film grossed $1 million in its first week, successfully breaking the North American first-week box office record held by "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" for five years.

And it wasn't much higher, just over 300,000 US dollars, which was slightly higher.

This immediately became explosive news. You know, this first-week box office record has been maintained for quite a long time and is also a weapon for Gilbert Jr.'s fans to brag about.

Now, finally a movie has surpassed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in its first week of box office, and those anti-Gilbert media and haters are overjoyed.

Coupled with the poor box office performance of "The Incredible Hulk", these weeks can be said to be a carnival time for these people.

Naturally, Gilbert's fans were not willing to be outdone. They stood up bravely to defend Gilbert and had a big fight with his haters on the Internet.

And naturally, the women of Little Gilbert also stood up and said that this was complete nonsense.

Anne Hathaway, who is currently filming, said: "If I remember correctly, Little Gilbert is the number one in the total box office performance in film history, far exceeding the second place."

Naomi Watts and Jennifer Connelly were caught by reporters shopping together. The two women also said: "Little Gilbert said that records are meant to be broken. There is nothing strange about this."

"Then why hasn't the box office record of Cameron's Titanic been broken yet?"

“You’re new in the industry, right?”

"What do you mean?"

"In case you don't know, Gilbert Jr. was also the investor and producer of Titanic. His record can also be Gilbert Jr.'s record."

Naomi Watts changed the concept here and expanded the scope, but it can indeed be calculated this way.

Jennifer Connelly added: "And Gilbert Jr. said that in two years, a movie that breaks the box office record of Titanic will appear."

After saying that, the two women ignored the reporters and went shopping happily.

Charlize Theron glanced at the reporters with her cold eyes, and the reporters who asked questions retreated automatically. As for Ivanka, she usually didn't answer such questions, and the reporters didn't get the chance.

Instead, it was her father Donald who supported Gilbert Jr. both through social media and on his show "Walking with Millionaires."

"No one understands movies better than Gilbert Jr., and no one understands him better than Ivanka, and I understand my daughter."

Donald said loudly: "In the field of film, Gilbert Jr. is the undisputed king. Those media who attack him are essentially a manifestation of jealousy.

Most of the time, Gilbert Jr. is successful, and only then can these media find opportunities. "

Compared to the open-minded attitude of their sisters, the relatively young Scarlett and Avril Lavigne are on fire. Scarlett blasted unscrupulous reporters and haters on social media, calling them dogs who can only bark but actually have no ability.

Avril Lavigne simply made a video, singing a simple melody on the guitar, and cursing the media and reporters in a very aggressive way.

Then the media controlled by Gilbert Jr. followed the two young men and charged forward, cheering them on from behind, making quite a loud noise.

Of course, this is just an episode in the film market.

The biggest advantage of the summer season is that there are always new topics to talk about. In order to attract attention to their movies during the summer season, celebrities come up with all kinds of hype methods.

The movie released the weekend after Spider-Man 3 was the absurd comedy My Big Fat Gay Wedding released by Universal Pictures.

Universal Pictures put this film here because the subject matter does not compete much with "Spider-Man 3".

However, before the film was released, gossip websites revealed that the film's leading actors Adam Sandler and Kevin James were really in love and were going to register for marriage.

Later, an anonymous whistleblower said that the film's female lead Jessica Biel liked Adam Sandler. But one day she saw Adam Sandler and Kevin James kissing passionately and said she couldn't accept it.

There are also whistleblowers who say that the three are actually in a love triangle. Kevin James likes Jessica Biel, and Adam Sandler likes Kevin James, but Jessica Biel likes Adam Sandler.

The hype of all these gossip news overwhelmed the spectators, and at the same time, they also became interested in the movie "My Big Fat Gay Wedding".

Universal Pictures achieved its goal, the three leading actors’ hard work in hyping up the film also achieved the desired effect, and the spectators had fun and got what they wanted.

This can be said to be a typical public opinion hype. Before every movie is released, it will be hyped as long as there is room for hype.

The hype was also effective. Although it was not as good as Spider-Man 3's $3620 million in the second weekend, the first week box office of $3279 million was enough to make My Big Fat Gay Wedding laugh for a long time.

After all, it is a low-budget comedy, a typical example of making a small profit with a big return, so there is still a lot of room for profit.

As for Spider-Man 3, it earned $3092 million in four working days and a total of $6712 million this week, pushing Spider-Man 3's North American box office over $ million.

More importantly, Spider-Man 3 was released overseas on a large scale starting this week. It swept the overseas market in the first week, earning $1 million at the box office, pushing Spider-Man 6740's global box office to over $3 million.

However, starting from next week, "Spider-Man 3" can no longer be so arrogant, as "Shrek the Third" produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" produced by Cantaloupe Studios will be released one after another.

Both are sequels to blockbuster movies. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" even won the North American and global box office championships last year and maintained the reputation of the series.

This year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is still one of the most anticipated summer movies, and the charming Captain Jack Sparrow continues to gallop across the ocean of the film market.

Looking at so many sequels, the audience is a little dizzy. Why are there no original movies released?

It suddenly dawned on me that some media outlets had been criticizing Gilbert Jr. for making original films, which had brought him to a complete failure. But looking back, I realized that he was the only one in Hollywood who was making original films.

Of course, Christopher Nolan also counts, but he is not a top-tier director after all.

And some fans have discovered that although some media outlets have been criticizing Gilbert Jr. for his failed movies, the reality is that his original movies have basically made money.

No wonder Hollywood film companies like Gilbert Jr., this guy is really a treasure. Not only can he create IP, but he also has originality.

More importantly, he never loses money.

What? The Incredible Hulk? Sorry, he didn't direct that movie.
