Time flies so fast, although Chen Hao is a well-known fast gunner, but in a blink of an eye, Chen Hao has already made two movies in North America and both of them have been released.

Both films were also successful and brought ample financial support to Chen Hao.

However, when he thought of shooting the third movie, Chen Hao was a little hesitant, whether to continue to make low-cost series of commercial films to make money, or to take into account his preferences.

Of course, Chen Hao's favorite films are generally blockbusters, but the investment may be a bit large, so the proportion of investment accounted for by the measuring scale is limited, and the money will be made by others.

Therefore, Chen Hao was a little hesitant about the third Hollywood movie, which is also the fifth movie in his life.

And just when Chen Hao was thinking about his third Hollywood movie, the domestic SARS epidemic finally ushered in a turning point.

On May 17, 2003, the People's Hospital of Imperial Capital University was released from isolation.

On May 19, 2003, the number of new cases of SARS in the imperial capital dropped to single digits.

On May 21, 2003, Zhang, the last SARS case in the imperial capital, was discharged from the imperial capital Ditan Hospital.

Subsequently, the general headquarters for the prevention and control of SARS in the imperial capital was revoked, and there were no new cases for several days, and the WHO also followed suit to revoke the travel ban on some parts of China!

The SARS epidemic in China is being eliminated at an alarming rate, and all walks of life are beginning to show vitality.

The film market, which has long been suffocated and is about to vomit blood, has set the release dates of all blockbusters within a few days.

First up is the Hollywood superhero blockbuster "Daredevil Man", which premiered on June 20!

In June, the national epidemic has not completely disappeared, and "Super Daredevil Man" rushed to be released, which is indeed bold enough, but it is also because the schedule in the second half of the year is too crowded.

"Super Daredevil Man" landed first, not only to take the lead, but also to avoid the second half of the year when there was too much competition!

In July, blockbusters are starting to pile up!

On July 20th, "The Matrix 2" was released, and on July 28th, "Two Heroes" starring Liming and Chen Haonan premiered, and "Finding Nemo" on July 30th!

In August, "Thunderbolt 2", Cheng Long's "Flying Dragon Rebirth", Jiang Wen, Zhao Yanzi's "Green Tea" and "Terminator 3" premiered successively.

In September, "Infernal Affairs 2", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", "X-Men 2", Liu Dehua and Zhang Baizhi's "Big Man Has Great Wisdom" were released one after another.

In October, the schedule is relatively relaxed, and only one of Li Press's "Giant Hulk" will be released on the 10th!

In November, there's The Matrix 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and Stealing the Day!

In December, there will be "Infernal Affairs 3" and Feng Cannon's "Mobile Phone"!

Basically, there are two or more potential box office movies released every month, not to mention other ordinary movies that have been suppressed to the second half of the year.

In the second half of the year, the box office competition in the mainland film market was absolutely fierce.

After the schedules of other movies were confirmed, Haotian Film and Television also announced that "Hurricane Rescue" was scheduled to premiere on October 1.

At this time, the National Day file is not a popular schedule, of course, the real popular schedule in China at this time is only the summer file and the Chinese New Year file.

But with at least two blockbusters with box office potential every month, October is undoubtedly the least competitive schedule.

The blockbuster in October has only one "Hulk" by Li Press.

This is Li Press's first film since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and it is also the first commercial film in his life, plus it is a big-budget superhero movie.

Its deterrent power is terrifying, so many studios want to avoid Hulk!

However, Chen Hao knew that Li Press's "Hulk" finally hit the street, and it was very miserable, which basically buried his reputation and possibility of filming a commercial A-level production again.

In addition, Liu Dehua's "Big Man with Great Wisdom" in September had a one-week gap between October 1, and its final box office was not very high.

Therefore, although the National Day file is not a popular schedule, Chen Hao still chooses to release "Hurricane Rescue" on October 1, so that the movie can almost dominate October!

And with "Hurricane Rescue" set for October 1, many film companies have also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, now that "Hurricane Rescue" is being released in North America and around the world, and it is performing well at the box office, it makes everyone very stressed.

And their respective schedules are already very crowded and the competition is fierce, and now there is a "Hurricane Rescue", which is really tragic.

Now it's okay, "Hurricane Rescue" is going to compete with Li Press, and the only remaining director in China who is on the rise in North America will face off at the box office in the mainland, which is also full of highlights.

As for schadenfreude, it is estimated that no one has this mind, because everyone is surrounded by strong enemies, with a radius of eight taels!

At the same time, Chen Hao had just confirmed the finalization of "Hurricane Rescue" in the mainland, and soon received a surprise!

In the 6th week of its release in North America, "Hurricane Rescue" achieved a box office result of $6.56 million, which also made its North American box office successfully break $100 million, reaching $105 million!

"The box office of "Hurricane Rescue" broke 100 million in six weeks, and another Chinese director who broke $100 million at the North American box office!" --- Los Angeles Times

"The second film broke $100 million at the box office in North America, and the director Chen from China deserves more expectations!" --- Chicago Tribune

"Chen, a director from Huaxia, has become the youngest director in North American film history to break $100 million with the $105 million box office of "Hurricane Rescue---"!"

......

The news that the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue" exceeded 100 million US dollars caused a sensation in the entire North American film circle and instantly became the focus of attention in North America!

First of all, it is a very rare thing for the box office to break 100 million, and "Hurricane Rescue" is the 9th film in the North American film market to successfully break 100 million!

What's even more surprising is that this movie comes from a Chinese director, although there have been two Chinese directors who have achieved a box office of over 100 million in North America before.

They are Wu Baige's $112 million "Changing Face", $215 million "Mission Impossible 2", and Li Press's $128 million "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Among them, Wu Baige's "Mission Impossible 2" had a global box office of $545 million that year, making it the global box office champion that year!

and threw off the second place "Gladiator" with 100 million US dollars, Wu Baige was the king of the box office in 2000!

The achievement of the global annual box office champion alone is unprecedented for Chinese directors!

But Chen Hao's "Hurricane Rescue" has a box office of over 100 million, and he himself has also set a record.

He is the youngest director in North American film history to have a box office of more than 100 million, and this record may be difficult to break in the future!

Because Chen Hao was only 22 years and 9 months old at this time!
