Heads Up Hollywood

The third week of "Chain Saw" swept across North America with a screening scale of 2,674 theaters.

Not only that, but with the ferment of word-of-mouth, the influence of the film is increasing day by day, and it has begun to be recorded in Europe one after another.

Although the film is extremely scary, many countries will prohibit its release in theaters, and can only be used in the form of video tapes and DVDs, but as a low-cost B-level film, it can be screened worldwide, which is enough to demonstrate its success.

This week, facing the competition from "The Grinch", "Charlie's Angels 1" and other commercial blockbusters, "Saw" did not show weakness, with a single-week box office of 24.42 million US dollars!

Especially in the three days of the weekend, it raked in a box office of 13.2 million US dollars, second only to "The Grinch" with 17.62 million US dollars, "Little Ghost in Paris" with 22.72 million US dollars, and "Charlie's Angels 1" with 13.36 million US dollars. Made, ranked 4th!

It even surpassed Sony's new film "The Sixth Day". As for Miramax's "It's You", even though the publicity is fierce, it is not an opponent at all.

So far, the North American box office of "Chain Saw" has exceeded 30 million US dollars! Compared with "Soul Shifting Girl", which was released for more than three months, it only lost 3 million US dollars in box office.

Next weekend, "Chain Saw" will usher in a bigger challenge. Disney's suspenseful production "Undead" will be released soon!

...

The original "Chain Saw" was screened for two months, and the North American box office was 56 million US dollars, but that was 2004.

The current "Chain Saw" is planned by Twain's screenwriter, and the director has been replaced by Zack Schneider, who has a more impactful screen style. It is conceivable that different times and different characters have received different effects. .

According to the forecast of the evaluation agency, the North American box office of the film is likely to exceed 80 million US dollars!

Although it cannot be compared with last year's "The Blair Witch", anyone who understands knows that "The Blair Witch" relies on false propaganda and terrorist marketing. To put it bluntly, it is to deceive consumers and has no persistence at all.

For example, this year's "Blair Witch 2" hit the street directly.

And "Chain Saw" is different. This is a complete story with a lot of room for sequels, which is far more eye-catching than "The Blair Witch".

Tang En went to New York to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which delayed the filming for two days, so this weekend, he honestly worked overtime on the set to film.

In the bar, Nicole Kidman held a glass of wine and looked at the slightly dull young man in front of her with a smile, "You don't like to talk much, do you?"

Russell Crowe said nervously, "I can't tell you anything about work, Alicia."

Nicole Kidman shook her head. "I don't mean work."

Russell Crowe frowned and sighed: "I found that it takes a lot of effort to perfect my social skills. I sometimes express myself in a more direct way, but usually the effect is not good."

Nicole Kidman smiled and winked playfully, "Try it with me."

"Okay." Russell Crowe took a deep breath, "I think you are quite charming, you want to conquer me, and I have the same feeling... But the past tradition requires us to complete some trivial specifications... Ugh, I'm going to follow these codes of conduct before we make out. But really, the thing I want the most is to fuck you ASAP!"

Nicole Kidman's eyes widened in surprise.

"Okay, this one is over! The scenes in the bar are over, let's change to another venue!"

Tang En waved his hands, stood up, and stretched himself.

The filming of "A Beautiful Mind" has come to an end. If there are no accidents, it will be finished smoothly in two weeks.

The crew began to pack their things and prepare to leave.

Russell Crowe came to Tang En's side and asked in a low voice: "Director, next, can you shoot my part first?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Well, my new film, "Proof of Life", will be released on December 8th, and the distributor asked me to join the promotion team."

Tang En frowned, a little displeased, but suddenly thought of something, ""Proof of Life"? A Warner movie?"

"Yes, Warner is in charge of distribution."

"You know, I have some cooperation with Warner, so I also know some inside information about this movie." Tang En's expression was very serious, and he warned vigilantly, "Russell, this movie... I advise you to be cautious and keep a low profile in your whereabouts. .”

Russell Crowe said: "I have a clear agreement with the distributor that we must perform the pre-publicity work of the film."

"No, no, Russell, you've misunderstood. Actually, A Beautiful Mind has two more weeks to wrap, and if you do your part first, you'll be done in a week. I mean..." The subject matter of the movie "Evidence" is too sensitive." Tang En spoke earnestly.

This is by no means alarmist.

In the previous life, it was because Russell Crowe starred in the film "Proof of Life", which directly angered the criminal syndicates in South America, offering a reward of 13 million US dollars and clamoring to kidnap him.

And there is no ransom, just cut off a finger every day, and after ten days, the ticket will be torn directly!

Such a terrorist threat directly shocked Hollywood, and even the FBI personally came forward and sent special agents to provide close protection for Russell Crowe for a period of three months.

So much so that when Russell Crowe received the Oscar for Best Actor, he was quite tired, trembling, and sullen.

Tang En didn't want Russell Crowe to die because of the butterfly effect caused by his appearance.

...

On Wednesday, November 22, two more blockbusters hit the market, Disney's "Undead" and 20th Century Fox's "X-Men."

In the past two working days, the box office of "Chain Saw" was only 2.9 million US dollars. In this situation, unless a miracle happens, it is impossible to suppress the box office of "Undead".

But……

Will a miracle happen?

In the current "Undead", the starring Bruce Willis once again exposed the scandal. At the same time, another superhero movie "X-Men" was launched on the market.

The global box office of "Spider-Man" has exceeded 1.25 billion US dollars, how much will "X-Men" have? Even if it is only 250 million US dollars, it is enough to set off this Christmas file!

On the day of its premiere, "Undead" had a box office of 2.49 million, not to mention compared with "X-Men" with a box office of 8.63 million US dollars, and it can't compare with old films such as "The Grinch" and "Charlie's Angels 1".

...

Joe Ruth stood in front of Michael Eisner tremblingly, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, "The box office of "Undead" is indeed not as good as that of "X-Men", but we surpassed "Saw" , isn't it? As for "X-Men", there is really no way, with the momentum of "Spider-Man", the market for this type of comic book superhero movie is hot."

Michael Eisner pointed at Joe Ruth, seeing his shameless sophistry, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Saw" had a box office of 1.46 million US dollars that day, which is indeed not as good as "Undead", but is the box office data of the two films comparable?

On the first day of its premiere, the box office of Disney's hard-earned commercial blockbuster was only US$1 million higher than the box office of Tang En Pictures' B-level short film "Chain Saw", which was released for three weeks. I can't afford to lose this person!

You must know that "Chain Saw" is only the work of a subsidiary of Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Tang En Pictures, and it is not popular at all for Tang En Pictures!

And it is such a casually shoddy film that can be compared with Disney's commercial blockbusters. This makes Disney, who has shaken Hollywood for decades, face where to put it?

Disney's main movie is actually at the same level as the movie of Tang En Pictures' Sun Company?

What an embarrassment!

In this case, thanks to you, you still have the face to speak out!

"Get out, get out!"

Michael Eisner was furious, and his anger was like thunder rolling in the sky, bursting out with great deterrence.

He thought of the banning order of Tang En Pictures, and thought of the pain he had suffered on Tang En in the past few months. The reason was all because of this person in front of him——Joe Ruth!

"Get out of here and never come back!"

Michael Eisner's voice, roaring in the office.

Joe Ruth had already understood what he meant, and his dull face was full of dullness.

What should come, should come eventually.

Disney's production department is about to change!
