Chapter 800: Finally On
With the time coming to the twentieth day of the first month, the 10th day of March of the national calendar.
"Manchester by the Sea", which has been released for the seventeenth week, has accumulated $41.45 million at the box office again in the first four weeks, following the box office of $30.67 million in the first four weeks, bringing the current total box office in North America to $72.12 million.
This achievement is already a big surprise for an art film, because it has almost successfully recovered the production cost.
However, the weekly box office in the seventeenth week has fallen below $200,000, and although the movie will continue to be released until the end of the month, it should not exceed the $73 million figure in the end.
Therefore, the box office of "Manchester by the Sea" in North America is basically fixed here, and it can be regarded as the lowest-grossing Hollywood movie starring Fu Luo in North America.
However, the film will continue to be screened in many countries, including China, and has been scheduled for April 10, ready to be screened in 100 Dune cinemas across the country, and then see how it reacts after a week, and then decide whether to continue to expand the scale of screenings.
After all, "Manchester by the Sea" tells a foreign story, which does not meet the local atmosphere of China, and it is a relatively dull art film, and even Fu Luo himself has little confidence this time.
Speaking of which, in memory, the global box office of this movie has more than 70 million US dollars, and now North America alone has reached this level, and no matter how bad the global box office is, it should be able to break through the $100 million mark.
Therefore, Fu Luo was already content, won the Oscar, and made money.
If you add some income in the later stage, his $20 million public relations fee may also be able to earn back, so this toss is not a loss.
In addition, "Interstellar", which has been released for its nineteenth week, happened to be released offline this week, and the final box office in North America was $197 million, unfortunately failing to break the $200 million mark.
The box office in Chinese mainland has long been determined, 987 million yuan, about 161 million US dollars.
There are also other countries and regions around the world that have a box office of $428 million, so the final total box office of "Interstellar" is $786 million, which is nearly $100 million more than the original in memory, which is probably the problem of personal appeal between him and Matthew McConaughey.
This result is not particularly impressive, and it can only rank 51st in the global box office list, below the $786.6 million "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" and above the Tobey Maguire's version of "Spider-Man 2" at $783.8 million.
In any case, if you do the math, the $786 million global box office will be about $298.4 million in gross profit for Warner Bros., as the production company.
And Fu Luo's salary for participating in "Interstellar" is $20 million + 15% box office share + 5% DVD sales share.
Therefore, here he can get 15% of the nearly 300 million US dollars, which is almost 44.76 million US dollars, plus the fixed salary is 64.76 million US dollars, about 400 million yuan.
Although it is scary enough, it is still not as good as the salary of "Gravity", but there is still a 5% DVD sales share, but this part of the income is long-term, and I believe that the expectation of 10 million to 20 million US dollars is still there.
…………
Looking back at China, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was also fully screened as early as the second day of the Oscars, and the final box office was 1.106 billion yuan.
There is no doubt about it, Dune made a lot of money again, deducting all kinds of things that should be deducted, and in the end the gross profit was 400 million.
After deducting 60 million publicity fees and 150 million production costs, the final net profit is 190 million yuan.
Dune and First Pictures can get 85% of it, which is almost 161.5 million yuan, and counting some subsequent income, 170 million yuan should still be there.
This profitability is still very strong, enough to make many film companies cry with envy.
and "Heart Flower Road", which has been released to the fifth week, after getting a single-day box office of 137 million yuan on the first day.
The first four days also set an astonishing result of 572 million, the next week another 485 million, the third week also had 142 million, the fourth was 72.34 million, and the current fifth week has not been counted.
But the box office in the first four weeks has accumulated to 1.237 billion yuan, and no matter how much the next box office is, Fu Luo is already a big winner.
It can also be said that the two movies of Dune once again shrouded this year's Lunar New Year, and the box office of the two movies has reached more than 2.3 billion.
If you take stock of the 14 years, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is 1.106 billion, "20 Years Old Again" is 557 million, "There Will Be No Future" is 666 million, and "Wolf Warrior" is 1.322 billion, and the total box office of Dune for the whole year has reached 3.651 billion yuan.
is definitely firmly in the top spot of domestic film companies, and this is not counting "Heart Flower Road", after all, this movie was only released when it was 15 years old.
Of course, in fact, there is also a public welfare movie "Orphaned" that lost about 100 million.
This is probably the first movie in Dune to lose money, and it still takes the initiative to lose, but if you can do your best, it can be regarded as Dune's return to the whole society.
…………
Also on the 10th, Fu Luo also flew back to the capital from Yun Province with his daughter Qiqi.
Two days later, "Operation Brave" finally started silently in the capital, and this time there was no grand launch conference.
And the first scene to be filmed today is the "bed" scene between Fu Luo and Gao Yuanyuan.
Of course, a movie like "Operation Brave" naturally won't have any over-the-top scenes, probably a little ambiguous scene when Fu Luo and Gao Yuanyuan woke up in the early morning, such as when he turned over and was about to kiss a woman.
As a result, her daughter Liu Chutian, who was wearing pink pajamas, appeared in the next moment while rubbing her eyes while pushing the door with a plush toy.
This shot can be said to be very Hollywood, and there are similar scenes in many movies, in the warm moment of the male protagonist and his wife and children, he suddenly receives an emergency call, and then introduces the official plot.
In "Operation Brave", it is also such a starting way, Fu Luo, the captain of "Old A", receives an emergency call, and then comes to the daily residence of "Old A", and takes his team members to prepare for urgent tasks.
In the end, these scenes that were not difficult were easily completed in two days, and in the next three days, he continued to shoot some scenes of Gao Yuanyuan alone, or with Liu Chutian.
And these shots will eventually be edited into the appropriate time period in the film, thus forming a complete movie.
This is also a common sense in filming, which is driven by the scene, not by the storyline, after all, in the movie, there is no such way of filming.
It's not surprising that not many actors say that after filming a scene, they don't even know what the whole movie is like.
After all, when filming, not all of the previous shot and the next shot can be connected, unless you have seen the complete plot story, it is a story, not a script, and there is still a difference between the two.
Soon, the crew of "Operation Brave" moved to the station of "Old A" for filming, which was a filming location provided by the Beijing Military Region, and Wu Jin, Yu Nan, Duan Yihong, Zhang Jin, Wu Yue and others also began to join the group.
The scenes at the station are also relatively simple, basically shooting departure and return, using transport helicopters, and then some interior scenes in the command room.
There weren't too many action scenes here for the time being, so the filming went quite smoothly, and by the time the filming was over, it was almost early April.
