Chapter 450 Prospects

First of all, the scale of its release alone has already set a record: 4,252 theaters in the United States have released the film at the same time! The previous record was 2004's "Shrek 2", which was released simultaneously in 4,163 theaters.

The film was also released earlier in Asia and Europe, before North America itself. On the first day of release alone, "Spider-Man 3" swept away 29.15 million US dollars in 16 countries and regions, and the box office of the premiere everywhere surpassed its first two episodes, and set new historical records in 10 countries and regions, such as Japan, "Spider-Man 3" broke the premiere record with 415 million yen in the first day, and it is said that 400,000 moviegoers went to theaters.

After MM resold the Japanese distribution rights to Warner, Warner was responsible for its distribution in Japan, which allowed him to enter the market again openly.

In South Korea and Xiangjiang, "Spider-Man 3" broke the local premiere record with 3.2 billion won and 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars respectively, and in Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand, "Spider-Man 3" broke the record for the highest release of any movie on any day, and Taiwan set the highest box office of the weekend.

"Spider-Man 3" has soared around the world, not only because of the popularity of one or two episodes, but also because of the promotion of MM Group.

And MM spares no effort in the development of the surrounding industries of the Spider-Man series, and Spider-Man decorated frisbees, sleeping bags, fruit plates, spinnerets, and clothing hooks can be seen everywhere in the supermarket, and there are even authentic spider suits for sale, supplemented by black spiders, green goblins, and sand people.

However, even if "Spider-Man 3" generated a $148 million box office in the first weekend, the situation is still a little not optimistic. The 2 episodes are crazy at the box office at the same time, the reputation is also so good, such as Rotten Tomatoes Online, the praise rate is as high as more than 90%, and the third episode, although there are a lot of flowers, the investment is also more than any of the previous ones, and the special effects are even more amazing, but it is a mixed reputation, and the score has fallen all the way, or according to the data of Rotten Tomatoes, the praise rate is now only about 60%, which can be described as an avalanche.

Of course, Spider Silk also has grievances: have you critics seen comics? Compared to mentally retarded comics, this is really a masterpiece!

Therefore, it is basically impossible to maintain long-term income and repeat customers without its own truly excellent quality and good reputation. What's more, there are two blockbusters "Shrek 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" to compete for the box office one after another, so it is still a little difficult for "Spider-Man 3" to get the amazing total box office results of its first two films;

After all, by mid-to-late May, blockbusters will fill all the flexible space, causing the film market to be oversaturated, and "Shrek 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which are only released a week apart, will pinch each other and it will be difficult to win;

"Spider-Man 3" is expected to exceed $250 million by the end of next week, and there is an 80% chance that it will cross the $300 million threshold on the eve of "Shrek 3" succession, so you can sit back and relax. Because in the face of the overwhelming and overwhelming offensive of "Shrek" 14 days later and "Pirates" 21 days later, "Spider-Man", which has already been full of money and can only swallow its anger, has a maximum of about 100 million US dollars left.

When the "Fantastic Four 2" of the "small characters" comes out 42 days later, "Spider-Man 3", which officially stepped down as the "leader of comic book heroes", will be suspended if it has not exceeded the 400 million mark.

But now at the beginning of May, the North Mi box office is when MM "Spider-Man" dominates the world, not to face the low beer along the way, Sam Raimi has received a lot of criticism, and Remy has put Marka into the water, thinking that Mark has given a lot of guiding advice.

Mark is a little speechless, the original version of the multi-line parallel, resulting in a chaotic story line, the mouth beer collapsed, now the story is simplified, the mouth beer is still not good, but the mouth beer is slightly better, this audience's taste has become tricky, it is not easy to please.

It's not easy to rely on Mark, today there is "Twilight", Mark's scenery does not fall at all, "Spider-Man 3" has a lot of income, but the investment is also huge, in addition to investment money and taxes, "Spider-Man 3" earns not necessarily much more than "Twilight".

The two bigwigs of Columbia Pictures claimed that they would continue to make sequels, filming ten episodes and eight episodes, until the cash cow was shaken into dry wood, but Mark knew that Spider-Man would definitely continue to shoot, but with the original cast, it was impossible for Ji Tai, with the big sales of the series, the popularity of the leading actors has risen sharply, and the salary of this film has also risen.

When filming "Spider-Man 3", it was so expensive, and he still wanted to get involved in the copyright, if he made "Spider-Man 4", what conditions would he have to set to impress him? What about the other leading actors? The two bigwigs of Columbia Pictures said this in order to stabilize people's hearts and let them work hard to promote the movie, how to do it in the future, that is a matter for the future, on the basis, it is a foregone conclusion that the pit will be abandoned and reopened at the top level, but they will not say it.

This trilogy is a classic story, and it has become a routine, unless it is opened unless it has super strong popularity.

Today, MM maintains last year's strength, the beginning of the year's "Twilight" and the summer "Spider-Man 3" have achieved great success, this small masterpiece "Twilight" is a hand-tossed countless blockbusters, released for two and a half months and ten weeks, has won 270 million US dollars at the North North box office, 200 million 300 million overseas, 500 million worldwide, temporarily ranked first in the year, ranking third highest in Mark's personal high, with these two blockbusters, they can be firmly in the first echelon, plus the widely optimistic "Transformers" during the test screening It is possible to maintain last year's strong position.

After taking a break from the May Day holiday, Mark returned to the crew and continued to complete the filming of "No Country for Old Men", after more than a month of filming, all this is nearing the end, the actor Heath has already received a lunch box, this is a strange movie, and there is still a third of the time, the protagonist Morse hangs up.

Morse, a Vietnam veteran, was chased and killed by gangsters, and fought with the tough killer Anton, and he also had contacts and won and lost with each other, but he was inexplicably involved in the vendetta between drug dealers and hung up inexplicably.

This is also one of the themes of the main movie, you think that everything is under control, but in fact, with the accident, everything has gone out of control, and everything is inevitably going to the abyss of destruction.

Mark has made so many movies, this one is the most boring, more boring than "This Man is from Earth", the other movies are happy to say what they want to say, and he is secretive, through verbal shots and hints, let you guess for yourself, like a major question, who will the money fall into? Carly is not clear whether she was killed, but let the audience guess and understand for themselves, as for all kinds of strange ways of killing, this bloody and violent means is just an embellishment, not a theme.

And there is basically no soundtrack in the whole film, and the shots tend to be ordinary and gray, which adds to the realism, but this is actually not the way Mark likes, he prefers movies like popcorn, but this kind of movie, not to mention winning awards, snickering without being deducted points and spraying.

Mark almost filmed "No Country for Old Men", but he didn't have much deep understanding and understanding, he just copied the success of others, to its profound connotation and artistic conception, or let those literary and artistic artists understand, right?

Mark prefers its thematic trinkets, the bloody violence, the indifference between people, the uncanny cruelty of reality, especially the clean, one-stop murder method, the most realistic chases and shootouts.

The battle between Morse and the killer is thrilling, and his reputation as the best crime movie is not for nothing.

There are no special effects, no special shooting techniques, and no big scenes, only chasing again and again, fighting again and again, and his progress is very fast.

Now that Carly's mother has died, Carly owes a debt to a funeral, and just returns home to meet the killer Anton.

Morse had died, and Anton had come to kill Carly, not for hatred, but for promise.

Mark told Blake and Javier about the mental and psychological state between the two characters, and then let them brew their emotions and get ready to start filming.

But Blake has never been able to get into that emotion, her husband is hanging, her mother is hanging, she is in debt, and she is touched by a killer who wants to kill her.

However, Javier entered the play very quickly, with a mushroom head, his face was cold, there was no human emotion in his cold eyes, he held a gun in his hand, from darkness to light, like a devil who jumped out of hell and was daunting.

This was very good for Blake, making her feel like it was real, and she turned around and ran.

Speechless, Mark waved his hand to photographer Wally, and exclaimed, "Click! Tea time." ”

Blake ran out of the door to feel inappropriate, blushed, and said to Mark, "I'm sorry, I'm playing." ”
