Chapter 479 is ready to go
"Hairspray" is a project that Mark introduced for MGM, and it is a replacement for the absence of "High School Musicals 2", which cost $17 million in the first two weeks, and with a good mouthful of beer, North Rice has no problem breaking 100 million dollars (only "Grease", "High School Musical", "Chicago", "Rocky Horror Show", and "Dream Girl" broke the $100 million mark in the history of musical and dance films).
Several obvious positive factors have not been missed: the stage version that shined on Broadway 4 years ago, the "box office black queen" Quinn Latifah, John Travolta, who restored the box office appeal with "The Red Horse", the "Latifa + Travolta" combination awards the Oscars for "Hairspray", the tried and tested "anti-string + fattening" makeup (Travolta), and "Dream Girl" hyped up the song and dance theme.
In addition to the above reasons, the film's high-profile promotion to the summer dark horse, what other undiscovered hidden explosions? The innocent fat girl, with the support of the optimistic and loving fat mother, joins the TV dance talent show and is enthusiastically sought after, but accidentally angers the racist forces competing on the same stage, thus launching a series of hilarious incident......s. It turns out that "Hairspray" is set against the backdrop of the "TV Talent Show" that is currently popular all over the world (more than almost any other period in history), so it's no wonder that it will scorch such a hit, just as "Talladega Night: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" ignited the passion of NASCAR fans, and presumably many viewers of "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars" are also happy to contribute tickets to this film, right?
In short, in terms of the current beer and momentum, "Hairspray" is mostly a genre that sticks to the list for a long time, and director Adam Shankman was originally a "vulgar comedy craftsman" who is a brother and brother with Dennis Dugan of "Gay Wedding" and Sean Levy of "Night at the Museum". The sum of 12 was down about 14 percentage points from last week, and $148 million was the second largest in the same period since the beginning of the new century, slightly worse than the 155 million in 2005, when "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" topped the list.
However, the media is generally pessimistic about the box office momentum of this week's champion "My Grand Gay Wedding", one of the main reasons is the poor score of only 38 points in the media overall review (C- on Yahoo and 14% on Rotten Tomatoes).
"Austin Chronicle", "Wall Street Journal", "Rolling Stone", "Premiere", "New York Post", "New York Times", "Baltimore Sun", "Hollywood Reporter", "USA Today" and other authoritative institutions all showed the lowest scores, following "Fake God 2", another summer comedy under Universal advanced to next year's Golden Sour Plum Awards, last year's starring work "Life Remote Control" Adam Sandler, who has been nominated for many golden sour plums, is undoubtedly a powerful seed for the worst actor, and Christopher Walken ("Deer Hunter"), who unfortunately won the bad luck of recruiting Sandler and was shortlisted for the worst supporting actor last year, has found a brave successor, Kevin James, who is undoubtedly the victim of "many bridges with Sandler who have no spark and feel obscene".
"Hairspray", which is vastly different from "Gay Wedding", has become another masterpiece that has made the media boil after "Ratatouille", with an overall score of 81 (A- on Yahoo and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes), which made the legendary "golden sour plum flavor" disappear in an instant.
"Colorful stories, adaptations poured into Genshin, and songs and dances that I like to see."
"The brilliance of 'luck' that makes the viewer feel empathy shines from beginning to end."
"The luxurious and shocking big scenes are scene by scene, which skillfully overcomes the common scattered and fragmented symptoms of song and dance films, and makes people feel a pleasant physical and mental comfort after watching the movie."
"It's because it's not as restrictive as the John Waters version that makes this entertainment a success."
"The performance team assembled by popular stars gave wonderful group portrait acting skills, making the film prosperous" .......
"New York Post", "Baltimore Sun", "New York Daily News", "San Francisco Chronicle", "Seattle Post", "Entertainment Weekly", "Chicago Sun", "Boston Globe", "Rolling Stone", "Entertainment Online" and many other media presented A or A-, and the seed contestant for "Golden Globe Award for Best Musical/Comedy Film" was born (the fierce rival is "One Night Belly"). Still has the strength to nominate some technical departments (even John Travolta, Mitchell Pfeiffer for Best Supporting Actor).
This also makes Mark's Hand of God prestigious, whether it is film selection and production, he is the top master.
There is also the fact that although "Transformers" has withdrawn from 288 theaters, it still ranks fourth with an average income of 5400 and 20.51 million, a decline of 44.6% this week, and a cumulative total of 263 million shows that there is not much suspense for "Change" to break through the 300 million mark.
The vigorous Columbia officially launched the second and third episode of the project, and it is expected that "Transformers 2" will meet friends in 2010 (it happens to be the year when "Spider-Man 4", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", "Shrek 4", "Harry Potter and Dead Saints" are scheduled to be released, and there may also be: "X-Men: Magneto", "Fantastic Four 3", "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Hobbit"...... )。
"Transformers", which was not extreme in its premiere but has been unusually strong since then, seems to be the one with the highest "return viewing rate" among several big guys this summer, controlling the damage within 50% for two consecutive weeks, and the overseas box office is more popular than Beimi, taking Huaxia as an example: as long as there is no "sudden downturn incident", the box office of 200 million yuan should be no problem, and it is even rumored that "it is expected to surpass the domestic record of 250 million yuan of "Hero".
"Ratatouille", which tends to be "applauded but not popular", fell by about 39% this week, grabbing 11 million gold has gained 165 million so far, which is about 17 million slower than "Cars" in the same period, and theoretically the sales curve of "good reviews → long-term" has not appeared, do Pixar fans donate all their money to "Transformers" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"? It is worth noting that the final 200 million mark of "Ice Age 2" failed (195 million), and the 168 million at the end of the fourth week is not on par with today's little mice.
Although the spring file of "Ice 2" is colder than the summer of "Material", the enemies encountered by "Material" are many and much stronger than those of "Ice 2", which shows that "Ratatouille" is worrying about breaking through 200 million, and I hope that this film will not at least lose to the vain "Happy Feet" (198 million), regardless of box office or Oscar.
"Die Hard 4" and "Fantastic Four 2" continue to control the decline in amazement, 35%! Bruce Willis is really a typical pure man who is old and strong. So far, counting this weekend's 7.3 million, "Tiger 4", which has reached 116 million, not only officially announced that it won the box office champion of the series, but also began the journey of chasing the 13th place off the list "Fantastic Four 2: Silver Shadow Crisis" (about 130 million), which is gratifying.
The seventh, ninth, and tenth comedies "Marriage Certificate", "Fake God 2", and "One Night Belly" are happy and two sorrowful, and "Knot" and "Mao 2" have a total of 38 million and 93 million respectively: the former is similar to "Mr. Year", which fully proves that even if Robin Williams is no longer good, he still has a box office appeal of 40 or 50 million, but unfortunately the price is that the retrospective popularity of "Happy Feet" (dubbing) and "Night at the Museum" has disappeared again;
"One Night Belly" earned 2.32 million this weekend, a decline of 37% is still small, and the cumulative result of 143 million $ means that the 150 million levels are nine out of ten, like a darker horse than "The Demon Wears Prada".
The eighth-ranked "1408 Phantom Murder" has swept away 67.5 million, although it may not be able to catch up with the same horror and thriller "Rear Window Horror" (79 million), it can still be described as Xiuyi. The eleventh "Neurotic" fell out of the Top 10 due to the influence of two popular new films, Michael Moore's controversial effect was mediocre this time, and the total record of nearly 20 million is certainly good for a documentary feature, but the gradual expansion of the distribution strategy did not bring any topic to "God", which cannot but be said to be a pity.
In terms of the Oscars, the leader of the beer is still Mark's "No Country for Old Men", since its release, it has been on the headlines of major media because of the low box office, Mark has lost money! This is big news, so it has attracted a lot of attention, and now "No Country for Old Men" beer is going all the way up, but the box office is not very good, all the way down.
In fact, "No Country for Old Men" was released in 50 theaters in Beimi, and it was about one million for three consecutive weeks, maintaining a super high attendance rate of 20,000 in a single museum.
For all film companies, Chong Ao is just to make more money, but Mark is different, he came for fame, and in the end he turned fame and fortune into profit the most, so they always maintained the scale of fifty theaters and ran him in the same way as running art films.
Mark has a golden signboard, countless theater companies are looking forward to his new film, waiting for it to save the market, who knows that it will only be released in fifty theaters, not enough to stuff his teeth, he is really angry, the income of 20,000 yuan from a single theater makes their eyes red, but let them wear out their mouths, Mark is unmoved, and insists on the original strategy.
And last week, it was rumored that Mark led the expedition to the Venice International Film Festival in Italy, as the opening film, and participated in the main competition unit, becoming a big hit.
This MM is usually a company that has nothing to do, and with such a great opportunity, will they be honest? They are overwhelmingly reporting on this matter, a European art film festival, making it as lively as a film festival in the United States.
Thank you for the big reward, thank you!
