Chapter 727

Tragedies happen every year, especially this year. Many of the high-cost films released in beimi have become tragedies.

"Blade of the prince of Persia" sounds very domineering, but under such a domineering name, it has become a loss making business. "Prince of Persia" is backed by the super popularity of video games, supervised by the gold medal producer brookheimer, and the huge investment of its owner Disney of US $200 million. It should not have been a great risk. However, the box office is also a strange thing. You can't help it if the audience doesn't buy it.

The film as a whole can only be described with mediocrity, and the stunt at the end is not worth the audience's nostalgia. For us who have been devastated by science fiction, such a film that we are waiting to see really can't arouse much interest in going to the cinema.

In fact, Disney should bear the main responsibility. Since the success of Tomb Raider, many film companies have focused on the cake of game adapted films, but none of the serious films with very high box office over the years. Before the release of Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider was still the top box office leader of game adaptation films, and biochemical crisis always survived because it was only a medium investment film. Therefore, it is a very unwise choice to invest a budget of up to $200 million in the prince of Persia.

In the end, "Prince of Persia" only made a box office "success" of 90 million in beimi, which can be said to have lost everything. Fortunately, Prince of Persia reaped US $328 million worldwide, which saved a little face. It seems that we should be careful after the game is adapted into the film.

This year's Bruckheimer is a bad year, and both films supervised by his owner Disney have failed. Maybe Heimer still dreamed that the apprentice of the magician could earn some face money for himself, but he didn't expect that the film was really worse and lost in a mess. The $150 million investment only brought back the $76 million box office of beimi, which is really shabby!

The film as a whole has no problems, but it has no advantages. Especially at the end of the film, I expected to see what magic war, but I didn't expect to be shot dead by such a little boy with a machine gun (very similar). I really don't know how $150 million was wasted.

Disney has to be blamed for this. There is still a big problem in the choice of themes. In addition to the long-standing Harry Potter, it seems that it is difficult to find a successful model for the current magic films. In this era when vampires dominate the box office, how can we place our hope on an old-fashioned magic film? Besides, there are also problems in casting. Although uncle cage's performance is still conscientious, after all, cage's box office appeal has had a serious problem, and the performance of young actors has no characteristics. When the characters, stunts and stories are not attractive, do you want to fly from the box office?

This is a serious blow to Jerry Bruckheimer's ambition to catch up with mark.

Although Disney has lost money on these two films this year, Alice in Wonderland broke the global box office of $1 billion at the beginning of the year, allowing them to maintain a certain profit. However, Universal Studios is a tragedy all the way to the end. It is not until despicable me that they have to breathe for a few more days. If they still can't find a good theme to support them, they are really worried about the fate of Universal Studios.

"Green zone" is a film reflecting the Iraq war. Not to mention the quality of the film itself, the fact that globegroup dares to give $150 million to the film proves that their decision-makers have a brain problem. There are too many films about the Middle East War, but too few box office successes. The problem with this kind of film is here, and the investment and return are often out of proportion.

Although the hurt locker was a great success in fame, beating avatar to win the best film, it became the lowest box office film among Oscar winning films, and the man of lies starring little plum and uncle crow the year before last, which was also a precedent for a disastrous box office defeat. Therefore, now the anti war film is at a dead end. It can only be said that globegroup is looking for death.

"Green zone" starred Matt Damon. Matt Damon has also been unlucky in the past two years. There hasn't been a heavyweight box office work since spy 3. Last year's "success depends on people" with Grint Eastwood also failed miserably at the box office, and now the "green zone" is like this. There is no cost for the thriller "henceforth", which cooperated with Mr. wood again some time ago. In those years, Margo and Ben Alfred won the Oscar for best screenplay for "soul catcher", but now Alfred's self directed and self performed "thieves in the city" has captured the audience again, and Margo is getting worse day by day.

In the end, the box office of "green zone" was more than 30 million meters north, more than 100 million in the world, which was a terrible loss.

Then little brother Ma said uncle crow just mentioned. Russell Crowe participated in Redley Scott's another epic Robin Hood. The investment of $200 million is indeed extraordinary. It seems that globegroup is desperate. However, the result was shocking. Such a promising film ended in mediocrity. How can the box office of US $100 million in North America and US $300 million in the world deserve the title of epic.

In recent years, epic films have come to an end. The glory of Gladiator is also difficult to repeat. Later, Alexander the great, King Arthur, Troy and the kingdom of heaven did nothing at the box office. Therefore, Redley Scott spent 200 million to complete it. He can only say that globegroup is too worthy of the epic director.

The whole film looks very good. Although the scene of the "Normandy landing" is a little small, it is very creative. I still like it. It's hard for me to find out what's wrong with it. Maybe now the audience really only likes vampires to show their muscles.

Russell Crowe also participated in the "three days of danger" produced by Shimen this year. At present, it is unlikely that beimi's box office will recover the cost.

The disaster of globegroup is more than that. Werewolf is another global film. Globegroup lost the most money this year. Now globegroup doesn't know when it can revive!

Universal seems to have invested $100 million in this film, but beimi's box office seems to be only $30 million! Such a return on investment is bound to lose money. Why did globegroup choose such a film to invest? It's hard to understand. Although "Twilight" is very popular and there are werewolves in twilight, after all, the werewolf is only a junior and a complete supporting role. Take the werewolf to gamble at the box office?

The main reason for the failure of the film should be its own quality. The whole looks very lax, and the fight scene is extremely childish. It's very boring. The audience really can't afford much interest. After reading him, it's natural to fail!

The third part of the legend of Narnia is in its second week of release. No matter how much the global box office will be in the future, beimi's box office has been completely tragic, and it is expected to be difficult to exceed $100 million. After fox took over the second-hand goods, it only dared to make an investment of 155 million. If you're so scared, why take over?

After the hot sales of the first film and the tepid sales of the second film, it seems wise for Disney to resolutely give up this increasingly unpopular series.

The legend of Narnia is a magic film for children. Even when shooting, it is difficult to raise it to any height. Such a film is actually very embarrassing. Adults don't bother to see it, and children may not see any way. Moreover, those previously lovely heroes are not very likable now. There is no need to see such a high investment film. After this last desperate fight, it should die. Of course, we don't rule out the global sale, the foolishness of fox, and being picked out again in a few years. Otherwise, this will be the last time we see Narnia in the cinema.

The other one is genesis, the one that mark tried to seduce Disney.

But Disney is not stupid. How can mark take advantage of it? So they made an additional investment. The dazzling blue light created by the investment of $300 million is beautiful in 3D effect.

Mark's "Avengers" is only 230 million, which shows its huge investment.

The box office of Chuang Zhanji in the first week was only a poor 43.6 million, which was too far from the 8000 previously predicted by the media. Moreover, the film's reputation is so bleak that the total box office should be about three times that of the first week, so it is less than 150 million US dollars. With an investment of 300 million US dollars (including publicity expenses), I don't know what Disney executives are doing now? But life should be hard. Now they know that they have been hurt by mark.

This year is not a good year for fox. Avatar can only be counted as last year's masterpiece. The investment is not small. The "crisis espionage" and "Tianlong secret service" are also losing money in beimi, and they have not been able to recover the cost. The total box office of the two films in beimi is only $150 million, while the total investment of the two films is as high as more than $200 million. Fortunately, with the popularity of Tom Cruise, the global box office of "dangerous spy war" is not bad, it should exceed 300 million US dollars!

The film "espionage" should be regarded as an early type of action film, and the whole viewing is quite strong. If it was placed when Tom was young, it would certainly attract more young people to the cinema. However, today's Hollywood has already changed things and people. Looking at the wrinkles on the faces of Tom and Diaz, it makes people feel that the years don't leave people.

"Tianlong agents" is starred by limnison, who has been in the limelight in the past two years. Fox must have been thinking about the box office miracle created by Hurricane rescue in 2008 (130 million in the United States), so he invested in such a hot action film. Audiences who like action movies must like this film. A series of ideas, such as inverted helicopters, planes fighting tanks in the air, etc., brighten our eyes, but why can't such an action film box office? It's not the spring of action movies, but how can agent salt starring Charlize reach $110 million?

Therefore, the risk of investing in films is no greater than any investment. Hundreds of millions of investments are lost. Only those distribution and production giant companies can lose so much.
