Hollywood legendary director

After attending the premiere, Lyman declined Cage's re-invitation.

He was not going to attend the remaining celebration party.

What kind of a party he is an outsider who goes to the acquaintances of the crew.This also disappointed Miss Diane, who wanted to do something to take advantage of her.

The next day, during the Christmas schedule that was released in a crowd, "National Treasure" relied on the enthusiasm of the actors and fairly good quality. On the first day of its release, a total of 3,017 theaters across the United States won a box office of 35.14 million U.S. dollars.

""National Treasure" sold at the box office on the first day, and amid the unanimous condemnation of film critics, the rise continued."

This is the main news headline of the "Hollywood Report" that day.

It was Nicholas Cage who was dancing with joy after getting the box office data, and he did not forget to inform Lyman to share his joy at the first time.

As for how dark the film critics are, what they say is extremely mediocre, and what the plot story of the first ten minutes of watching the movie is, you can guess how the film will develop afterwards, and the plot seems too procrastinated. There are still many loopholes in the plot setting. , Put in the ranks of popcorn movies, but the quality is average.

A slightly more objective evaluation also means that the film as a whole has fully mobilized the audience's curiosity during the viewing process, and the grasp of suspense is appropriate.

Of course, the film critic group is the most difficult group of fans in the world.

Don't listen to what they say.

After all, Lehman only knew that Warner, as the publisher of "New York Trip", issued a sum of money to hack "National Treasure" in order to combat competitors.And the investors behind some of the works that are currently in theaters at the same time period will never watch "National Treasure" aggressively buy the box office market.

As the saying goes, ruining money is like killing a parent. If you don't black out you, who will be black.

In addition, most film critics really don't like popcorn movies.

It's a pity that the audience is not as easy to cheat as before.

Even after Rotten Tomatoes lifted the ban, the freshness of viewing movies was directly brushed up to 63% by negative reviews, which still cannot prevent the movie from being recognized by the market.

On the second day of the screening, near the early hours of the morning, the box office of "National Treasure" also came out the next day.

38.54 million US dollars, this is the answer given by the market.

Calculated from 12 o'clock the day before yesterday, the average attendance rate can basically be maintained at about 60%, and only two screenings in the morning have won more than 11 million box office.

In the first three days of the weekend, it broke 100 million with a very relaxed attitude, and on Sunday it gained more than 42 million US dollars.

Shocked the attention of many people in the industry.

To say that "National Treasure" is also evil, it is obviously not particularly outstanding from the choice of the theme or the filming of the plot, and it is scolded by mainstream film critics, but the box office revenue is outrageous.

The tall ones are a bit abnormal.

Why do you say that?

Because even if it is the producer of the film, Touchstone Pictures, or the joint announcement party, Disney Pictures, they never thought that the film could exceed 100 million in three days.

They have also internally given estimates based on the market prospects. It is estimated that the box office drop in the first weekend should be around 87 million, and the local profits will definitely be close.

But looking at it now, is there ample market potential for movies?

But for Lehman to say, "National Treasure" is indeed not worthy of this box office, it is inflated.The reason for the false high is the market choice.

Perhaps it is because this year's summer vacation file is a bit too sluggish, and the audience's box office purchasing power has been suppressed greatly.

Until this time, the Christmas stall was completely released.

After all, if you think about it this way, "The Incredibles" produced by Pixar Studios is a little too high.

The quality of this animated film is definitely not as good as "Finding Nemo", and it can be seen from the awards won in the future, but its box office has caught up with the iconic Pixar animation images such as "Toys" and "Under the Sea".

If it weren't for the quality and lack of stamina, it is estimated that "Finding Nemo" has maintained its international box office performance.

Speaking of it, this year's summer school is indeed the worst in recent years.

The first-line masterpieces such as Warner, Universal, and Fox have all hit the street, which is regarded as filling in the quota for the annual bad film.

Oh, Warner is two pens.

And this failure may be the reason why the Christmas box office market is getting hotter.

As for "National Treasure", it is just a beneficiary of such market potential.

By the following week, "National Treasure" still carried out a brutal massacre of other movies.But the increase in the total box office has slowly slowed down.

Disney and Touchstone put more than 2,000 copies in this operation, and the film arrangement was as high as 60%, which completely squeezed the living space of other movies.

When "Superman Agents" fell into a decline, the market potential was slowly exhausted, and most of the screens drawn by the theaters were added to "National Treasure", and the number of theaters directly exceeded 4,000.

On the market, there are only two ways for audiences to distinguish movies: "National Treasure" and other movies.

Because the total box office total of other movies every day is not as much as that of "National Treasure".

Play with a hammer.

As for continuing to black out, it doesn't make much sense.

The so-called general trend has been achieved, and it seems to be a waste of money.

After all, the name of "National Treasure" is hung on the daily box office champion list every day, and the publicity is not too strong.

I heard that Michael Eisner learned that Disney could make at least more than one billion yuan in this film, and that gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer decided to cooperate with Touchstone to develop a sequel to the film.

Having such a developed gold mine endorsed him, he seemed to have stabilized his position.

Unfortunately, he has offended too many people.

CAA, Jobs (the major shareholder of Pixar Studios was one of the projects that Jobs was kicked out of Apple's investment), and even the board members behind them also had many complaints.

The character was too tough, and he could be restrained a little bit during the first and mid-terms when he was in charge of Disney. In the later period, he was completely the king of palace fighting. He kicked out a lot of management who didn't deal with him, and offended his partners all over.

One of the operations that have been unimaginable so far is to fall out with Pixar Studios.

The reason for voluntarily discarding a gold mine is simply that Jobs hopes to increase Pixar’s profit sharing after the five-year issuance contract is over. This is completely negotiable.

However, the anger broke up, and Jobs scolded, claiming that once the contract ended, he would not continue to cooperate with Disney.

And Michael Eisner also believes that Pixar relied on Disney's publicity channels to achieve today's results. Without cooperation with Disney, their animated films simply cannot sell well.

Well, I can only say that people are getting old and their brains are not working well.

Thinking of Disney begging Pixar to come back in the future, why is it so funny.

Without Pixar, what achievements have Disney had in the field of animated films?

It was "The Lion King" ten years ago, and will it be "The Lion King" ten years later?

The fried cold rice is really good.

I have to say that the Disney brothers left behind too deep.
