Chapter Seventy-One: The Singing and Dancing Ending
Although the performance of Universal Pictures in recent years is not too bad, it can only be said to be tepid, but the continuous success of the "Mummy" series has finally relieved this long-standing film group.
And then, of course, everyone's attention is on "Youth Musical" 3, which will be released in the next week.
Although there is still a month to go before the real summer season, this year's film market is particularly exciting, whether it is a live-action film or 3D animation, it has shown a trend of hundreds of schools of thought.
As the finale of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" created by Sid, it has naturally been in the spotlight since the beginning of the publicity preparation period.
This time, the director of "Youth Musical" is still Jason Moore from the previous work, and the hot success of "Youth Musical" has turned this little-known rookie director into a hot youth commercial film director.
And the chief producer Nancy Meyers also refocused on the creation of "Youth Musical" after ending "Man 100%".
On May 4th, "Youth Musicet 3", which "saved the youth song and dance film", was finally officially released, and the premiere of the first part was also very nostalgic for the first part - Los Angeles Music Center.
At the packed premiere, the auditorium was filled with laughter and laughter, music and dance, and the main characters on the big screen sang and danced, and when the last frame of the movie freezes, their high school life in the movie is finally over.
The cast and crew floated up on the screen, and the screening room burst into thunderous applause and cheers, as director Jason Moore, executive producer Nancy Meyers, founder Sid, and of course the stars all walked onto the stage to call the audience after the film.
Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
Whether the young audience is a middle school student or a high school student, a young child or a young teenager, the appearance of "Youth Singing and Dancing" has undoubtedly become a strong stroke in their youth career.
This is the mark and memory that every generation has, and it is a gratifying thing for these young audiences, or for Sid and the Fire Lion, the successful conclusion of the "Youth Musical" series.
Looking at the excited smiling faces of the audience, listening to their applause and cheers, the familiar faces such as Chris, Jessica, Rachel and Ryan around Sid were smiling from ear to ear, and even Sid, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but show a touched look.
Three years ago, when "Youth Musical" was played, both the fire lion and Sid themselves were fledgling newcomers. Today's Fire Lion and Sid are growing at an astonishing rate, which is not to be underestimated.
In the hustle and bustle of laughter and laughter, the premiere of "Youth Musical" 3 ended perfectly, and the film series "Youth Musical", which has set off a global song and dance frenzy and is known as the "representative of idol youth movies in the new era", has finally come to an end.
On the day of the premiere, in 2,500 theaters across North America, countless young fans were in the theaters, excitedly enjoying this last singing and dancing feast.
Of course, after the wonderful tide, there are also many people who have a sense of the time of youth flying.
But in any case, the box office results of the first three days of "Youth Musical" in the first weekend finally broke through the $50 million mark for the first time on the basis of the previous two works!
This achievement can be said to be both unexpected and reasonable.
After all, with the good results of the first two works and the feelings of the finale, it is logical that "Youth Musical" has received enthusiastic popularity from young people.
The same effect was played in the later finales of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games".
Although this result seems to be lower than the 68 million of "The Mummy 2" last week, when Universal CEO Ron Meyer saw this data, he couldn't help but congratulate himself on the wisdom of adjusting the schedule.
The reason is simple, the box office performance of "The Mummy 2" in the second week fell by 50% to $33 million. and "Youth Musical" won the North American box office list with a score of 50 million US dollars.
In the following weeks, "The Mummy 2" remained in the top three box office in North America with $20 million and $15 million. and "Youth Musical" 3 continued to maintain its position as the box office champion in North America with a score of 37 million and 28 million US dollars.
By the last week of May, the North American performance of "The Mummy 2" had reached $188 million, and the North American box office exceeded the 200 million mark.
and "Youth Musicet 3" successfully broke 100 million US dollars in the third week of its release, and won 25 million US dollars again in the fourth week, staging its long-term legend with a very low decline rate.
In this way, in May, whether it is "The Mummy 2" or "Youth Musical" 3, it has been quite successful.
After the outbreak of the former flowed for four weeks, the box office line slipped down by 10 million. However, the latter obviously shows a long-term upward trend, although the box office performance of "Youth Musical" 3 did not exceed that of "The Mummy 2" in the four weeks of May, but its extremely low box office curve also showed quite tenacious vitality.
But next is Children's Day, although North America is not this "international" Children's Day, but this year's June Day has attracted the attention of Hollywood early.
"Pearl Harbor" Vs "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!
Disney vs. Fire Lion Pictures, Disney's godfather Michael Eisner, who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, and Sid Leon, a super genius who has broken into an incredible world in just a few years.
Who will get the start of this rival summer showdown?
The melon-eating audience inside and outside the circle has long been impatient, uh, wait, has there been something forgotten?
Oh, by the way, Sid finally completed the biggest scene of "Spider-Man" in May - Spider-Man Peter Parker and the Green Goblin's first showdown in Times Square!
In order to shoot this scene, the crew had previously spent three months filming in the large studio of the former Boeing factory in Downey.
Among them, the Times Square in the long view and panoramic part of the movie uses a green screen, while the procession and balcony scenes in the middle and close scenes are combined with the physical set and the green screen.
Prior to filming, the crew's art director, special effects supervisor, stunt supervisor, storyboard painter and stunt coordinator, the key person responsible for the lead actor's double, came together to closely coordinate the design and assembly of all sets and stunt installations.
