Chapter 1555

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
Obviously, it is because four Chinese models have logged on to VIMI T, coupled with the Chinese song "those flowers", that this restrictive fashion show, which should be regarded as tv-14 level overseas, has logged on to mainland Chinese TV stations for the first time.

There is no doubt that the biggest beneficiaries will be four Chinese girls.

In addition, Weimi brand will also open its own flagship stores in China. The first two are expected, as usual, one in Beijing and one in Shanghai. Before that, of course, Weimi was sold in China, but only at the counter level.

When a large number of news about the secret show continued to spread with the TV broadcast of the restarted version of "welcoming the Millennium", another major event happened again in the North American film market on December 8. Countless book fans have paid attention to it for a long time, so that the first song of the Lord of the rings: the messenger of the ring, which appeared on hundreds of theme websites, officially held a grand premiere in Los Angeles in recent years.

The media pay close attention, the Internet discussion breaks out again, and other Hollywood studios are facing great enemies.

After all, the popularity of the Lord of the rings series of novels is similar to the Chinese journey to the West in the West.

In short, with the huge investment of danilis entertainment, as long as the quality of this super heavy series is not too poor, the box office will be good. Once the film reputation breaks out, the most direct is that other films in the same period will inevitably encounter impact.

The result did not disappoint all those who expected the film.

The premiere ceremony was held on December 8. On December 9, the film's public praise was lifted and praised.

One of the most emotional comments of a film critic on the new Yorker showed the voice of most of the audience: "in the first half of the year, I saw Star Wars prequel, and in the second half of the year, I saw the Lord of the rings, two epics. It's worth my life."

The other party is obviously a loyal fan of the Star Wars series, so it probably ignores the collapse reputation of the first song of the prequel in the first half of the year.

However, comparing the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings with the Star Wars series, one of the symbols of American culture, is undoubtedly a high praise.

The final comprehensive media score of the film is 9.6, which also reaches the classic level that can be ranked in the forefront of film history.

According to such public opinion feedback, even if the 179 minute duration makes the publicity and distribution team slightly regret that the film's daily film arrangement will be limited, which may affect the box office. Danilis entertainment has not worried much about the commercial prospect of the film.

Moreover, with the rapid popularity of DVD in the west, Simon also specifically mentioned the distribution plan of director's editing version in the future. This is later.

On December 10, the Lord of the rings: the messenger of the ring officially opened on a large scale on 3359 screens in North America.

This time, we didn't spread too much at one time. Considering the length of the film and combined with word-of-mouth, we hope to get out of a more stable long-term, rather than fast in and out like other popcorn films.

On the same day, in addition to the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings, there was another Warner invested $30 million production cost of "almost famous" released in the North American cinema. It was a rock theme musical film by Cameron Crowe, the director of Tom Cruise starring in Mr. sweetheart in the original time and space that Simon paid attention to.

Warner has adopted the distribution method of commercial films, giving 1738 screens in the first week, but it also hopes that the film will impact next year's Oscar with word-of-mouth.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

The film premiered on the same day of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings, and then there was basically nothing. Then, the comprehensive media score was only 7.3. If it was a commercial film, the score was not too bad, but it was certainly not enough to impact the award season.

In addition, Kate Hudson, the heroine of the film, showed her face in a large number of news of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings, and was specially praised by some film critics for her acting skills.

Obviously the kind of public relations operation.

After all, Kate Hudson has a good mother, one of the early sweet sisters in America, Goldie Han.

Once Kate Hudson won the Oscar nomination for best supporting actress with this film. In order to improve the nomination probability, the protagonist reported the kind of supporting actress. Then, there was still no. Then, the second generation of stars, whose Hollywood resources were much stronger than Gwyneth Paltrow, didn't have any works to sell in Hollywood.

In short, it was originally to accompany running. With the poor reputation, it was really reduced to accompany running.

The attention of the film market basically falls on the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings. Everyone is concerned about whether the film can break the billion in the first week. After all, with the popularity of the Lord of the rings novels, it is still very promising to break the billion.

Danilis, of course, is looking forward to it very much. At the same time, she has to face the reality.

The reality is that the length of nearly three hours of the film greatly limits the film arrangement. Even if the average ticket price will increase due to the length of time, it is impossible to increase too much.

In this expectation, the three days from December 10 to the first weekend of December 12 will soon end.

The box office results were announced at the weekend. The box office of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings was $63.65 million in the first three days. It is expected that the box office in the first week will be about $90 million, which is also expected.

As for breaking 100 million in the first week, it is still the same sentence, the film arrangement limit.

In addition, nearly famous, which is completely accompanied by running, is not worth mentioning at the box office. The revenue in three days is only a mere $3.63 million. It is expected to be about 5 million in a complete week, and the kind of direct withdrawal in two weeks. As for the subsequent award season, don't think too much.

Then, the box office week from December 10 to December 16 will soon end.

In the first seven days of the whole week, the opening box office of the Lord of the rings: the messenger of the ring finally reached US $91.37 million. At the end of this year, it is second only to steel bone 2. Even if it is put in the whole year, it is just another second place Godzilla, ranking third.

Therefore, although it is a little regrettable that it failed to directly break the 100 million yuan in the first week, this achievement is still very satisfactory.

After all, compared with the super heavy bomb with a total investment of US $240 million like steel bone 2, after the Australian government gave a subsidy of US $50 million, the budget of US $270 million for the continuous shooting of the Lord of the rings trilogy was directly reduced to US $220 million, with an average cost of just over 70 million per film. The publicity budget given by danilis entertainment this time is only 40 million, which is equivalent to the first film The total investment in the production and promotion of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings is only about $110 million, less than half of steel bone 2 and lower than Godzilla.

Then, in fact, it is a very critical next week. The box office trend will be directly related to the total local box office volume of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings.

On December 17, next week is Christmas. Compared with December 10, this week is the start of a well deserved Christmas file. Therefore, a total of three new films have been painted.

The first is a key cooperation project between Warner Brothers and danilis, "the game of the brave 2".

After the success of the first film, "game of the brave 2" still adopts the game mode of joint playing strange. In other words, danilis has also launched this series of stand-alone games last year and sold very well.

This time, Warner and danilis have invested a huge production budget of US $100 million again. The publicity and distribution expenditure of Warner responsible for distribution has also reached US $35 million. A very clear figure is mainly related to the subsequent sharing. Warner wants to increase the publicity and distribution expenditure to 50 million. Everyone is in the circle. Who doesn't know what to play. Of course, this side won't agree.

In any case, the total cost of the project is $135 million.

Moreover, to some extent, the film followed last week's release of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings, which still has the meaning of beating itself. The number of screens opened was 3766.

Then came MGM's "alien 3", because it was a cooperative project, with some participation of danilis.

Obviously, I still beat myself.

After two consecutive films of "different species" have been sold, especially after the surrounding video tape market is more popular, the production of "different species 3" is also very smooth. Not only that, this time, MGM team, of course, is now a team under 20th century fox. It is only released under MGM's factory logo, and then specially for "different species 3" We won such a golden schedule at the end of the year.

The protagonist of the third film was replaced by the second generation of exotic girls. A hot Australian model selected by Simon, Megan Gail, almost starred in the magic woman in George Miller's version of the League of justice.

In addition, because the popularity of the first generation of exotic girl Natasha henstridge is too high, although the protagonist was replaced by Megan Gail, henstridge made a guest performance this time.

The production cost of the film is still well controlled at US $45 million, the publicity and distribution expenditure is US $15 million, and the total investment is US $60 million. It can not be compared with other super heavy bombs, but it also reaches the high budget level.

MGM has no high expectations for the box office prospect of the film's cinema distribution, but focuses more on the subsequent distribution of family entertainment channels.

However, the number of screens opened this time also reached 2945.

Finally, Disney produced a fantasy comedy that fits the Christmas atmosphere, "magic elves", which tells the story of an elf Jackie, who came from the elf kingdom to human society, and defeated the evil witch who coveted Jackie at the same time.

Not a novel setting, the key is to fit the festive atmosphere.

However, the production cost of the film is not low, because a large number of CG special effects are used, with a budget of US $70 million. Vivendi of France, who still hopes to open up in Hollywood, also approved US $30 million in publicity and distribution expenses for the Disney team this time, with a total investment of US $100 million and 3356 screens.

Under the attack of the three films, the pressure of the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings can be imagined.
