Chapter 285 Airborne North American Weekly Champion

When Fu Luo brought Jiang Xiaoyu, Su Rui'an, and Fan Bingbing together to meet Michael Bay at the LA airport, the other party told him the box office results of the first day of "John Wick" and the total There are 1370 million U.S. dollars, which is considered a very good result. In addition, this day happens to be Friday. Finally, it is initially estimated that the box office will be about 4000 million U.S. dollars in the three days of the weekend, basically reaching Paramount’s expected results.

Now let's see how the decline in the second week will be. If it reaches more than 50%, then "John Wick" will be really dangerous. 70% of the audience gave the movie an A rating after watching the movie, and the remaining 30% had an A- rating and a B rating, so the overall score is at least an A- average, which is definitely considered a positive review.

The freshness on Rotten Tomatoes is also as high as 82%, which is enough to prove the audience's favorability for "John Wick", and the score on IMDb is also as high as 7.9 points. For a purely commercial film, it is definitely considered A very high score. Of course, this number will gradually decrease in the later period, but it should not drop below 7 points.

All kinds of data show that the prospect of "John Wick" is very good. If the box office performance in the first week can exceed expectations, then Paramount will definitely further increase the number of movie theaters in the second week, and it is likely to reach 3000. For large-scale releases, of course, the premise of these assumptions must be based on the final data.

To say that there can be such a gratifying situation, the director Michael Bay should play half of the role, and [-]% of the role is the quality of the film itself, and the actors can play at most [-]%. Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, this Definitely a fair ratio.

After all, to be honest, whether it is Fu Luo or other supporting actors, the appeal is really not much. Actors such as Hugo Weaving, Josh Duhamel, and Gal Gadot are either supporting roles or Pure rookie, not to mention Fan Bingbing, a Chinese actress may not even be able to match Gal Gadot, a newcomer.

Fu Luo barely has "500 Days with Summer" as a façade, and is nominated for a Golden Globe Award winner. If it were a white man, he would have been praised as a Hollywood niche, but unfortunately he is Chinese. Directly discount the effect by half.

Now let's see how the performance of "Quick Chase" will be, either it will become famous in one battle, or it will stay where it is, but judging from the current situation, the probability of the former should be higher than that of the latter, just wait for time to test .

…………

Fu Luo returned to the capital on the morning of the 22nd. As for Michael Bay, he flew to Shanghai. Although the two met at LA Airport, they did not take the same flight.

It can only be said that Lao Bei really didn't want to waste even a day, and immediately put himself into work again. I heard that the filming team of "Transformers 2" had already arrived in Shanghai on the 20th, and the reason why Michael Bay was late One day, just to attend the premiere of "John Wick".

It is said that if Paul Anderson hadn't picked up the pick halfway back then, Michael Bay would not have rolled up his sleeves and went on his own, so that "John Wick" has not yet been released, and "Transformers 2" is about to start filming. Just compact.

Unlike many directors in China, Hollywood directors generally only focus on one job, and rarely step on one foot here and there. If "John Wick" was finished two months later, "Transformers" 2" will definitely be delayed to start up.

Of course, Fu Luo can't control Michael Bay's affairs. He started to get busy as soon as he returned to the capital. For ten days, he could only conduct remote command through his mobile phone.

Speaking of this premiere, Fu Luo also specially selected 300 lucky fans from all over the country to participate in the capital together, and covered all the commuting tickets, food and accommodation. In the end, it may cost more than 100 million yuan, which is considered His kind of return to fans and fans.

Moreover, this quota cannot be traded privately. You must have a corresponding number corresponding to your personal ID card before you can enter the venue. In that case, what's the point of him doing such a thing?

After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, only you can't think of it, there is absolutely nothing impossible, so you still have to take some precautionary measures.

In addition, he also invited a large number of celebrities he knew to join him. As long as they are free on the 24th, they basically agreed to his invitation and said that they would definitely be there. Therefore, he had to make proper arrangements in this regard. Okay, and the first issue is naturally the security issue. In the end, he spent a lot of money to pay the whole package to a very powerful security company, so he was relieved.

It is estimated that the cost of the Chinese premiere of "John Wick" will exceed 500 million RMB. Fortunately, Paramount will share the cost, because Paramount has always been in charge of the global distribution of the film. Most of the base camps in China have Dune Entertainment to participate in the release.

And the cost of those 300 fans is not included in the 500 million. Of course, this money has to be borne by Fu Luo personally. After all, these people are called by him, and they are also his fans. He must be responsible for it himself. .

Also, unlike "500 Days of Summer" which was fully invested by Dune Entertainment, "John Wick" was jointly invested by two companies, so it can no longer operate freely like the former, and can combine China and South Korea. All the distribution work is in my arms, so Paramount also wants to get a share of these two places this time. Who would think too much money?
On the 23rd of the next day, Fu Luo attended another promotional event for "On the Red Cliff" held in the capital. After all, this movie will be released nationwide on July 7th. As the leading actor, he has already been absent from many promotions The event made Wu Yusen dissatisfied with his boss for a long time, so he ran to participate in the promotional event as soon as he had time, and the location happened to be in the capital, which saved him from flying around.

After finishing the promotional activities of "On the Red Cliff", Fu Luodu had not yet returned to his home, and suddenly received a call from Guan Qingqing, who quickly told him about the first North American debut of "John Wick". The box office results of a weekend, after getting 1370 million US dollars on the first day, continued to get 1610 million US dollars and 1790 million US dollars on the second and third days, and finally brought the total box office of the first weekend to 4770 million US dollars. It is expected that there will be nearly 800 million more box office.

This is definitely a very surprising result. You must know that the box office of "The King of Kung Fu" in North America was only more than 2000 million in the first weekend after it was released. Now the box office of "John Wick" in the first week It directly surpassed the previous one, and even almost reached the total box office of "The King of Kung Fu", which is very amazing.

Then, the achievement of 4770 million U.S. dollars undoubtedly parachuted into the weekly box office champion in North America. Detective, for a total of $2 million.

And No.3 is "The Incredible Hulk" in the second week of its release, which once again received 2213 million US dollars. The starring Edward Norton is also a tragedy. "The Incredible Hulk" came out, but the box office results in the first weekend were not as high as Li An's "Hulk", and he was slapped in the face.

Then No.4 on the ranking list is the third week of release, and "Kung Fu Panda" won 2193 million US dollars again. It is said that this animated film has accumulated a box office of 1.5 million US dollars, and it will be officially released in China on June 6. When the show is released, Fu Luo may also have to support the show, after all, he also participates in the dubbing of the character.

Finally, No.5 is "Secret Service Salon" with 1340 million US dollars, a comedy starring Adam Sandler. It was released on the same day as No.4 "Kung Fu Panda", and the total box office has accumulated to 7870. It should have the potential to break through [-] million at the box office. If a comedy film has such a box office, it is definitely a big profit.

In this way, this week is the past, but next week there will be two major rivals released at the same time, and they are both Fu Luo's favorite movies. One is the future "Young Professor X" James McAvoy and Angelina- "Wanted" starring Julie, and the other is his favorite, the classic animated film "Wall-E".

Relatively speaking, among these two movies, the former is definitely more of a threat to "John Wick" than the latter. After all, "Wall-E" is an animated movie, and it does not conflict with "John Wick" at all, but "Wanted" "Order" is different, the themes almost just collide with each other.

And this action movie also violates the rules of physics. The bullets can turn corners. It is quite attractive to the audience despite the exaggeration. It also has Angelina Jolie, the goddess of the American people, as the leading role, plus A group of old actors, in terms of actor appeal, is much worse than "John Wick", an absolute rival.

However, when Yudu met together, it seemed that there was only a direct fight. It was really hard for Fu Luo to judge who could do it better, so he could only wait for the final result.

what!
After Fu Luo returned to the villa, he inadvertently cast a glance at Guan Xiaotong who was playing computer on the sofa, and immediately discovered a little secret.
