Chapter 853 - Fake Gods 2
This year's movie is interesting, it's simply a big collection of "number 3". In addition to The Lord of the Rings 3, Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Spy 3, Rush Hour 3, and Hidden from the World 3...... It seems to be all huddled together. Oh yes, there's also a Spartan Three Hundred warriors, still a little involved with Three.
What's more interesting is that many of the more popular movies are scheduled to be placed in the summer season or before or after the position to avoid colliding with the behemoth "Lord of the Rings 3". For example, Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean and Shrek are all released in May, while spy and rush hour are in August.
As a result, the only thing that Layla's movie needs to compete for is "Fake Gods 2".
In Hollywood, it's normal to make sequels to money-making movies. 03's "Fake God" starring Jim Carrey won a global box office of 480 million, which can be said to be a big profit for the cost of 88 million. So after the film was a big hit, the plan for a sequel was immediately put forward.
The sequel released this year is still directed by the original director Tom Sadiak, but the starring role has been changed to Steve Carell.
For the fake Gods 2 to dare to collide with Lyra's Lord of the Rings, many people gave them a thumbs up for their courage. Why don't so many big productions dare to choose this schedule, but you dare? Didn't you see what it was like for Nolan's "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows" to collide with her before?
That's Nolan's work, can you compare Tom Sadiak to others?
However, an analysis report from "Entertainment Daily" let the public see that the fake Tenjin 2 and the production company Universal Pictures were not carried away by the good box office of the previous film, so they chose this time, which is no different from the death schedule in the eyes of others, and they really have their own plans.
The report raised several points.
First of all, Fake Gods 2 is a comedy, and it belongs to a different genre from Lyra's Lord of the Rings, and there is no direct competition between the two. Everyone likes to watch comedies, and the previous one has a good reputation, and the collision of the two movies may have some impact, but it is unlikely that it will be absolutely crushed.
Secondly, they also saw the exposure of the last time Nolan and Layla collided directly with each other.
That's right, The Lord of the Rings is many times stronger than them in terms of director and actor, post-production special effects and fan support, but last time the two films were overwhelmed by many media because they collided together, Shengsheng saved a lot of publicity costs, and let countless people know that the two movies will be released in the summer at the same time.
They thought they could take a ride, and as long as the media reported on the Lord of the Rings, they would be worth a lot of publicity costs.
If the two films can be tied together and reported, it will definitely only be good for them. Whether it's sprayed beyond their strength, looking forward to seeing them become dark horses and defeat Leila, their goal will be achieved when the exposure goes up.
Last but not least, there are very few competitors!
So little so that the Lord of the Rings didn't have any heavyweight competitors in the two weeks before and after. This is the magic of Leila, and the awe that others have for her strength. Not to mention a film with an investment of hundreds of millions, no one chooses to compete with her even with an investment of tens of millions.
It's not easy for everyone to mix at the box office, so why fight you to the death? So they'd rather choose to be on the same schedule with other big productions than directly compete with Lyra.
So in the three or four weeks before and after the release of The Lord of the Rings, except for some small productions, there were no noteworthy competitors at all, and a vacuum circle was unexpectedly formed in the summer file that should have been fiercely contested.
No matter how good a movie is, there is no guarantee that everyone will like it, so what if people who don't like it want to watch a movie? But during this period of time, only the Lord of the Rings has appeared as a big production, which is a difficult choice for young people who want to watch big productions in the summer.
At this time, the appearance of the fake Tenjin 2 can perfectly receive those remaining box office, which is very beneficial to them.
According to the report, many people suddenly realized, no wonder the fake gods 2 dared to choose such a time to be released, it turned out that it was not just a brave and unscrupulous stunned youth!
"Entertainment Home Daily" is a newspaper owned by Moran, and it is certain that Director Moran himself has seen it if he will write this report. It's good that everyone knows this kind of thing that rubs people's popularity, but it's embarrassing to be exposed.
But as long as the movie can make money, who cares if it's embarrassing?
As the head of the Lord of the Rings distribution, Louise met with Lyra once after the fake Tenjin 2 was finalized and wanted to ask her about what to do.
However, Leila's answer to her was - "Leave him alone. ”
Yes, don't care, ignore them, let them laugh as they please.
It's actually quite cool to not take competitors seriously at all. Koloise didn't want to have any effect on their own film by misestimating the importance of the fake Gods 2. The first two are so good, and they are about to rush to the historical status of the most profitable trilogy in film history, in case they are really overturned by a dark horse because of a temporary love rival, they will definitely become everyone's laughing stock.
"They've got the rights to show more than 3,600 theaters, second only to us, and it's going to be a very tricky contender. ”
The absence of other competitors, as well as the fact that the previous one had a very good box office, was that the fake Tenjin 2 won more big screens than expected.
"Their cost is 170 million, and although it is a comedy, it is still not to be underestimated!"
Louise cares about this competitor, probably because they only have this one competitor. Speaking of which, the other party's budget even exceeds that of his own side, you must know that the three of them together are only more than 300 million shooting costs, plus publicity, less than 500 million. I don't know what they are spending so much money on.
Leila has no worries at all: "Hollywood is never a place where you can succeed by investing a lot of money. Do you think Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston can be compared to Steve Sharrell now?" "Jim Carrey's achievements in Hollywood comedy movies are great, and he can't underestimate his box office appeal just because he's just a comedy movie actor.
"I admit that the actors are not as good as the original, but the director is still the original one. From "Detective Plane" to "The King of Words", and then to "The Imposter God", his movies are loved by many people, and he is a quite successful director. ”
"Really?" Leila only used a "hehe" to express her feelings, "And what do you think he compares to me?"
Louise was speechless.
