When Qiao Feng was busy dealing with the affairs of several companies in the United States and secretly looking for a suitable manager to replace John, the general manager of MGM, 007's murder license was released in nearly 2,000 theaters

It's the longest-running franchise of all time, and its fan base is huge, grossing $26 million in its first three days of release

The opening weekend of the entire summer season, namely the hunt for Red October starring former Bond actor Sean Connery and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Cosmic Dragon, was better than the box office of the murder license

Among them, Sean Connery starred in the hunt for Red October, which also took advantage of the subject matter

Because these were the last two years of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union, the two only superpowers in the world, were fighting each other

Americans were very interested in any form of defeat of the Soviet Union

Even if it's in a movie

Red movies are such a film that makes Americans laugh when they watch it

Think about the nuclear-powered submarine, a big weapon in the hands of his number one enemy, but was led by an officer of his sworn enemy to defect to his own country, doesn't this just show that he is righteous and his opponent is evil

For this reason, the hunt for Red October naturally piques the interest of American audiences

Not to mention the high quality of the film itself, with a gripping plot and skillful and smooth shots, plus brilliant visual effects from ILM, Connery's stellar performance, and a well-adapted script that best-sells

and so on, the perfect fusion of these series of elements is the hunt for red, October released in October, a total of 100 million US dollars at the box office

However, in contrast to the popularity of the North American box office, the hunt for Red October has been cold at the box office in other countries and regions

Combined with the North American box office, the global box office has only just exceeded $130 million

Obviously, audiences in other countries than the United States do not feel the same way

At this point, Schwarzenegger's Cosmic Dragon is another scene

In North America, the cosmic dragon released at the same time was crushed by the hunt for Red October, and the North American box office for two months of release was millions less than the hunt for Red October

But overseas, the situation has turned upside down

The overseas box office of Universe Weilong won a total of 110 million box office

It is higher than that in North America, and this is still not released in many countries and regions

Of course, some people may say that the hunt for Red October must be overseas, and there must be countries that have not yet been released

It's natural

However, due to the subject matter, the number of countries and regions where Hunt Red October is released overseas is much less than that of Cosmic Weilong, nearly two-thirds less

Of course, even if it is not less than two-thirds, the overseas box office of Universe Weilong will exceed that of Hunting Red October

Moreover, it is far exceeded

Compared with these two films, one is more popular in the United States and the other is popular at home and abroad, and the homicide license of 007, which is also a big production, is a slightly inferior film at home and abroad

Of course, this is only relative

After 007 Murder License won a very good box office in the first weekend three days after its release, the slots of this film also began to ferment

The first is the audience's disapproval of James Bond

Timothy Dalton's bitter and hateful appearance throughout the film, there is almost no one who does not complain

The Washington Post commented that "007: License to Kill" is the most serious 007 movie, and Timothy Dalton has a numb expression and no sense of humor

Said that he had lost the traditional elements of 007

Of course, the audience still gave high praise to several action scenes in it

However, for a movie like 007, which tells the rich and handsome agent James Bond to talk about love and easily solve the bad elements that endanger society, the lack of humor and chic is more important than these good action scenes, and it is also the most attractive factor for the audience

The dull plot and bitter face are really difficult to mention and watch, at least it is difficult for people to have the urge to watch it again

But fortunately, this is a 007 series of movies, even if the reputation is average, even if it is said to be dull, but due to the huge fan base, there are always many viewers who do not believe in evil and choose to jump into this pit

What's more, this is the first PG-13 grade 007, the classification of all ages, for those minors who have never seen the 007 series in the cinema, it is absolutely desirable to see 007's movies in the cinema for the first time, and I look forward to it

The huge fan base, coupled with the ratings of all ages, just these have already given 007 a huge audience

As a result, in the first week of release, 007 Murder License won $39 million at the box office

It's just that word of mouth has declined even more

But in any case, it is not a problem for this film to recoup its costs with an investment of more than 30 million US dollars, and the remaining question is only what the final box office will be and how much net profit it can make

In the second week of its release, the box office fell by more than 30 percent, but it still cut 27 million at the box office

Two weeks is just around the corner to pay for itself

However, in the next third week, the box office drop of the murder license will definitely be even greater, because Aladdin, an animated feature film produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio, which Qiao Feng values more, is about to be released

It's also a rating for all ages, but Aladdin's family movie is obviously more audience-based than 007's murder license

In addition, the story of Aladdin's magic lamp from the Thousand and One Nights is a household name, and almost everyone has heard it in their childhood

When such a well-known fairy tale is moved to the big screen, or in the summer season, when the children are on vacation, you can imagine how many people will watch it

What's more, there's a very attractive gimmick in it

That is, after facing off against an animation giant like Disney, who will be the winner

At the same time as Aladdin's release, Disney also released a cartoon, which is not the key, the key is that the subject matter is extremely similar

A TV movie from Disney's TV animation Donald Duck Club

The name of the film is Donald Duck Club: The Lost Magic Lamp

That's right, it's also about Aladdin's magic lamp

After the two movies were scheduled at the same time, the media began to hype that Disney, which has incomparably rich experience in producing and distributing animated films, plus Donald Duck, who has Disney's classic animated image, and Donald Duck, who also added the story of the magic lamp, won the victory or the high-fidelity pure authentic Aladdin movie is better

Both films have a lot of supporters, but comparatively speaking, the Donald Duck Club's Lost Magic Lamp has a lot of supporters

Because it was a Disney movie, neither the channel nor the experience could match the rookie DreamWorks Animation Studios and MGM, one of the decadent old Big Eight

Even, there are many people in the two companies who think so

But Qiao Feng is full of confidence, because this is Aladdin, how can it be compared to the lost magic lamp of Donald Duck Club, a TV movie that Disney made out of the previous TV animation cut bar in order to make money
