Chapter 655

At the end of the film, as usual, it's the egg everyone is looking forward to.

The egg of suicide squad, which will be released at the end of the year, has already appeared in the first Batman: the moment of war. This time, Batman: the rise of the dark knight has only one egg, but it has greatly inspired all DC fans in the screening Hall of the Chinese theater.

Obviously, in a corner of the city street where there was a car chase battle, a burly figure in a cape reached out and pulled away the top cover of the bat, which was almost scrapped in flames. Batman in the car slowly stood up, and the two DC's strongest superheroes confronted each other on the big screen for the first time.

No lines, but that's enough.

The screen was completely dark, and in a short interval, thunderous applause soon broke out in the screening hall, lasting for more than a minute, until the host took several film creators to the stage and sat down.

During the media interaction, the first reporter named variety didn't rush to mention the superb performance of the clown by Revan Phoenix, nor did he express any emotion about Nicole Kidman's style as a poison vine girl. Instead, he immediately asked how the thrilling special effect scene of vine circling the city in the film was made.

Generally speaking, the more panoramic CG effects are, the easier it is to make. But in the film just now, the poisonous vine girl gives birth to the scene of the ancient vine winding the whole Gotham. Whether it's the sprout of the vine from the asphalt pavement, or the thick vine winding the whole building, or many buildings can't bear the vine growth and collapse, every shot and every detail gives people a sense of humor It seems that a modern metropolis is wrapped up in green vines in a short period of time.

The most important point is that this part of the special effects scene still takes place in the daytime. People who know a little bit well understand that compared with the same type of night cg scene, the difficulty of CG picture production and rendering workload of day special effects will be greatly increased, which naturally means more budget.

In fact, just a three minute long special effect scene of vine circling the city burned a $12 million production budget, and the production cost of Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight reached $135 million, which is still based on the huge tax rebate of 15% given by the Australian government. Otherwise, the budget for the Batman movie will exceed 150 million dollars.

The huge budget of film production is usually not equal to the quality of film, which is proved by many blockbusters in Hollywood.

However, after making six DC blockbusters, namely "Batman: the moment of war", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Wonder Woman", "flash", "Superman" and "steel bone", together with her accumulation in blockbuster movies such as "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" over the past few years, danylis entertainment has made great contributions to the Hollywood film industry Development and application has reached the acme of this era.

Therefore, "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" in a series of DC blockbusters can still give the audience a sense of shock dazzling special effects scene, in fact, it is just a kind of natural.

The Hollywood counterparts who have been chasing Danielle Reese entertainment for years are actually being pulled further and further.

Other than that, the two large-scale rendering farms, which have more computing power than most of the supercomputers in the world, are not owned by other Hollywood studios and independent special effects studios.

Not only in terms of technology, Denise entertainment has formed a perfect film industry flow operation system through the experience of many super blockbusters in the whole process of film project planning, formal production, and later publicity.

The first impression of the assembly line to the public is often mediocre, but in fact it is by no means so.

With the highest standard of danilisi entertainment streamline operation system, the production requirements of every step of its blockbuster bomb are constantly improving. Even if the film itself is not too brilliant, it can get more commercial benefits through strong post publicity.

This inevitably leads to a problem.

Can't other Hollywood studios imitate?

Of course, no problem.

However, whether the imitation can succeed is the biggest problem.

After the success of Disney's Marvel movie universe in the original time and space, all kinds of Hollywood movie universes came in droves, such as DC movie universe, monster movie universe, transformer universe and so on. As a result, even the most promising DC movie universe to copy Marvel mode ended in failure.

The problem with DC is obvious.

Warner high-level excessive interference, the lack of sound production ideas, the lack of trust in the creator, and so on.

If you look at the marvel movie universe, the success of iron man in 2008 is just an accident. Both Marvel itself and paramount, who was responsible for the initial distribution, do not have much confidence in this project. When "Iron Man" sold at the box office, paramount, who initially had the chance to win marvel, was still hesitant, but Disney picked the peach.

Disney, who won the marvel movie universe, will really play this good hand to the extreme.

No matter how many people openly criticize Disney as an assembly line operation, they can not erase the marvel movie universe that is destined to leave a brilliant record in the world film history.It's the same with Denise entertainment today.

Simon has absolute control over danielis entertainment and a clear and firm production plan for the new DC movie universe. Time Warner and danielis can provide the best production and publicity resources for all projects. All these are the root of the success of DC movie universe.

Not only that, the production and publicity experience accumulated in a series of DC movies and blockbusters has also been successfully applied by Simon in many projects of danielis entertainment, such as Jurassic Park series, Ninja Turtle series, mission impossible series, etc. these super successful blockbusters eventually create a powerful danielis entertainment collection in Hollywood at this time Regiment.

After the premiere, "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" was officially released the next day.

The comment of "Hollywood Reporter" that "there are still only two kinds of movies in Hollywood, one is DC movie, the other is universe movie" classically summarizes the praise of Batman: the rise of the dark knight in most media.

Mainstream print media such as variety, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune all gave a high evaluation of the final work of Batman's single trilogy.

What's amazing about the film is not only the special effects that are still further developed after the first six DC blockbusters, the wonderful plots that are closely linked and completed in one go, the harsh pursuit of details under the atmosphere, the clown created by rivan Phoenix, the poison ivy girl of Nicole Kidman, and so on, which have become the focus of many film critics.

Finally, the media comprehensive score of "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" reached an amazing 9.7, 0.1 points higher than the 9.6 comprehensive media score of "Batman: the moment of war" which was the first movie to surprise fans that year. Considering that Hollywood sequels often fail to break through the common phenomenon of previous works, the media reputation of Batman: the rise of the dark knight is even more rare.

On Thursday night, "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" was officially launched on all 3515 screens in North America, and the number of open screens also reached a new high.

June 3, Friday.

On the first day of Batman: the rise of the dark knight, the box office data of the previous week in the North American film market were also released smoothly.

Last Friday's two new films, the cowboy in blues and the princess and goblin, failed to make any splash. Therefore, during the week from May 27 to June 2, the North American cinema has basically made full use of several old films.

Speed of life and death, starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, won the first place at the box office in a single week without any doubt. Due to the lack of competition from new films, the box office of the film fell only 21% in a week, closing another $25.39 million, reaching a total of $57.56 million in two weeks.

Simon had expected the box office decline of "speed of life and death" to be controlled within 20% this week, with a 21% weekly decline slightly lower than expected. Obviously, although there are no other strong competitors in the same period, the film is still influenced by Batman: the rise of the dark knight. The audience's expectation of this DC movie super blockbuster in the universe has largely led to the cooling of the market one week before the film's release.

"Stargate" directed by Michael Bay continues to occupy the second place on the list. In the third week of its release, the film's decline also narrowed to 23%, earning $19.45 million. In three weeks, the cumulative box office reached $81.32 million, which is not far away from the threshold of 100 million yuan.

Mel Gibson's western "gambler cavalry" came in third, down only 22% this week. However, the opening box office of "gambler Ma Huali" is too low. The box office of the next week is only $16.15 million, and the total box office of two weeks is $36.87 million, which is only equivalent to the $36.61 million of "star gate" in the first week.

Considering the strong impact of "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" on June 3, the total box office of "gambler cavalry" in North America is likely to stop at less than $60 million. Relying on the local box office, warner can only reluctantly recover $30 million of publicity investment, huge losses have been inevitable.

When a new box office Week opens, North American media and public attention is almost entirely attracted by Batman: the rise of the dark knight.

Batman: the rise of the dark knight took another record $26.13 million in box office on its first day of mass release on Friday after its stunning one-sided opening on Thursday.

The box office performance of 26.13 million US dollars on the first day of the painting almost made most Hollywood filmmakers tearful. Many Hollywood movies don't have so many box offices in a week, but Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight only takes one day.

The media has spared no effort to follow the trend of speculation, and the public has formed the habit of watching the DC movie universe, which further boosts the phenomenon level movie watching boom.

From June 3 to June 5, Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight scored a record $78.37 million in the first weekend.

From June 3 to June 9, the box office of "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" was released in the first week, and the box office revenue of "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" reached $127.63 million in seven days.It's an irresistible force.

In the face of the strong crush of Batman: the rise of the dark knight, the box office of speed of life and death and Stargate, which used to have a very good box office momentum, was directly cut by 49% and 53% in the new week, respectively. The box office of a single week directly fell to $12.93 million and $9.21 million.

However, Mel Gibson's "Mahmoud Mahmoud" is more miserable.

In the face of the impact of Batman: the rise of the dark knight, the box office of Batman fell 57% in the third week, from $16.15 million last week to $6.93 million. Not to mention the expectation of $60 million last week, it is difficult to reach the threshold of $50 million.

As for Meg Ryan's "when a man falls in love with a woman" and Spike Lee's "deep race" and other films, it is a one-time hit to the edge of the next file.

The same is true of Denise Entertainment's "detective airplane head.".

The box office of "detective plane head" had successfully crossed the 90 million box office threshold with a weekly box office revenue of $3.17 million from May 27 to June 2. The box office of the new week also fell 53% under the impact of "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight", with only $1.49 million left in a single week, accumulating $92.39 million.

Although danielis entertainment still keeps 325 screens for the film, it is estimated that it will only get another $5 million at the box office in the future. The final box office of "detective plane head" will be around $97 million, which is only one step away from the $100 million box office club.

It's just that Simon didn't approve some of the plans put forward by the "spy plane head" publicity team for the sake of suppressing Kim Carey.

Whatever the situation of other films, "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight" was a big box office success in the first week. Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group held a grand celebration party for the first time. The venue is still at the staff activity center of Denise studios in Malibu, on Saturday, June 11.

Although no longer directly in charge of Time Warner's film business, Terry Semel came to Los Angeles from New York on the day of the celebration party.

Simon had dinner with his family at domay point estate. He didn't arrive at danielis until about 9:30, but he didn't plan to spend more time at the party.

Meeting Terry Semel, who is still at the party, the two quickly talked about DreamWorks, a hot topic in Hollywood recently.

DreamWorks, which is planned by Steven Spielberg, is now looking for a co distributor.

In the original time and space, DreamWorks's early partner was paramount pictures. This time, in addition to danielis, MGM and Disney, there were four other big seven Hollywood companies in Columbia, paramount, Warner and fox all extended olive branches to DreamWorks.

Terry Semel also made a special call to Simon to test his attitude towards the cooperation between Warner and DreamWorks. After all, the news that the big three DreamWorks announced the establishment of the big studio on the day of the premiere of Batman: the rise of the dark knight was obviously aimed at Danielle's entertainment.

Simon is noncommittal.

If Warner Brothers wins the distribution rights of DreamWorks films, it may be able to show a wave of prosperity in the short term, and continue to support the momentum of Hollywood Warner and Denise, which still does not deviate from Simon's plan. As for the long-term impact, it is a big deal to adjust some plans according to the specific situation in the future.

Although the two sides are close partners, Simon does not intend to give Warner any advice. All roads are chosen by ourselves, and we have to bear the consequences.
