Since the box office of "The Phantom of the Opera" reached 11 million in the first week of its release on Saturday, September 29 in the United States, the number of theaters has risen from 854 in the first week to 1554, which is 700 more theaters, and the box office in the second week has also increased to 18 million with the growth of praise and public opinion for the Oscars, and it seems that it can exceed 20 million, but unfortunately it may not be reached, after all, under normal circumstances, the box office of the movie will be weak from the third week, and it would be good to maintain the current situation.

Warner and other investment companies were overjoyed to see this result, and even though the chances of breaking the 20 million box office in the third week were not high, they still decided to expand the theater chain to more than 2,000 theaters in the third week. You must know that when "Moulin Rouge" was released in 2,283 theaters in the second week, the box office was only 7.65 million, which is not even a fraction of "The Phantom of the Opera"!

Although "Moulin Rouge" had already participated in the Cannes Film Festival before this and was shown in two cinemas for two full weeks, compared to the box office of 18 million in 1,554 theaters of "Phantom of the Opera", "Moulin Rouge" in 2,283 theaters is a little unsightly, although this box office is also within the public's expectations.

As we all know, the song and dance film itself is not a hot selling theme, and it is not easy for "Moulin Rouge" to get this result. However, now there is an outlier in song and dance films. Before the release of "The Phantom of the Opera", who would have thought that it would win so much box office? Who would have thought that the singing Theorod would attract so much money? Now that many fans on the Internet are clamoring to buy the soundtrack of the "Phantom of the Opera" movie, the .a. website petitions Theorod to release a pop song album.

Although this also has the credit of the musical's high popularity, if there is no superstar such as Theorod to join, the box office of the movie will have to be reduced by 10 million. Speaking of Theorod's salary is also 10 million, plus 17.5% of the film revenue share, Warner didn't expect the box office to be so successful at that time, so he agreed, and now it seems that it is only a matter of time before the global box office breaks 100 million. In addition to the box office, the original soundtrack of the movie must be released, the setting set will also be released, and the Blu-ray disc is also indispensable.

The box office high is also a sweet annoyance.

However, when everyone thought that "The Phantom of the Opera" would not make another breakthrough at the box office, Theolod began to do things for them again. No, it's not Theorod, it's the movie starring Theorod, the first trailer of "American Narcos" and the release of the scheduled time-

"American Narcos" will premiere on the North American continent on December 31? And this year's Oscars seem to be able to start submitting films from December 15, right? As a biopic with the franchise of actors, no one will believe that they are not going to submit the film.

So, is this a clear plan to submit the film to the judges for review in advance, and then rush to release it in the United States and Canada at the same time on the last day of this year?

If you say you didn't mean to, what is the premiere date on the last day of the year? And considering that another condition for participating in the Oscars is that it must be released abroad, so we are also preparing to release it in Canada and the United States at the same time!

This biopic, whose name has been announced, tells the story of the powerful drug lord in the seventies and eighties of the last century from making a fortune to being arrested and imprisoned. The older generation of media people who are familiar with this story know that this film itself has Oscar elements, and if it is successfully performed by a small actor like Theolod, it will be the favorite to win the Oscars, not to mention the Golden Globe Award, the vane of the Oscars!

But what about "The Phantom of the Opera"? His performance in it will also allow him to be nominated for two awards this year!

What could be more interesting than the fact that the favorites for Best Actor in two films are the same person? It seems that this Oscars are destined to be very lively!

But some people have questioned this, December 31, which looks like a release date to catch up with this Oscars, and now there are less than three months before this release date is full, can an Oscar film really be made?

You must know that the competition for this Oscar is also very fierce, not only Russell Crowe for the best actor last year, but also a real dark horse Denzel Washington. After Sidney Poitier won the Oscar in 1964, no black actor could occupy a place in the white-filled Oscars. But now, Denzel Washington is the most popular actor in this year, and it is very likely that he will become the second black actor.

It's just that some people don't like the possibility of a second black actor, before Theolod was airborne, even if they knew that the chances of the previous actor's re-election were not great, they did not hesitate to tout Russell Crowe, Sheehan Penn or Tom Wilkinson, and as for Will Smith, who starred in "Ali", was not as vocal as Denzel Washington - although he was one of the most gold-attracting black actors - they were even more praised by them.

So, when some people began to question that "American Narcos" would not be able to win the Oscars in order to rush the work and not pay attention to quality, some people - no matter what kind of mentality they reciprocate - immediately jumped out and did not hesitate to tout "American Narcos" and praise Theorod. In their eyes, at least this child has always been a guarantee of the quality of his acting skills, and compared to Russell Crowe, the young actor who has been separated by one year is still competitive. Moreover, the trailer of Ted Demmy, who is good at heart, is sensational and full of human touch, and you can see the movie itself at a glance.

As for Theorod's fans, they are even more excited, what can be more pleasing than their idols coming out with two movies a year that can win the best actor? They don't care whether Theorod can be selected or not, even if Ted Demmy's directing strength is not very good, but where Theorod's acting strength is placed, can't he still get a mere nomination? Even if it doesn't work, what about "The Phantom of the Opera"?

On the contrary, some more sober fans hope that Theolod will not abandon the pursuit of film quality in pursuit of fame and trophies, but such comments are either quickly drowned in the sea, or scolded by extreme fans. Joke, their Theorod is an actor, not a director or a producer, is he set the release date of the movie? If you want to say that you love vanity, why don't you talk about Ted Demmy and the new line?

In fact, with his current position, he can indeed say a few words about the release date of the film, but the real decision is still the business of the producer and distributor.

In any case, the controversy over Theorod and "American Narcos" actually drove the box office trend of "Phantom of the Opera". In the third week, the week when "American Narcos" was finalized, the box office of "The Phantom of the Opera" actually broke through the 20 million box office mark and reached 20.21 million US dollars!

This statistic made Warner almost jump up and kiss the new line.

However, in the fourth week, the box office data weakened again, quickly falling back to 12 million, and there is a gradual decreasing trend. But so what? This result was obtained after many people reported that the chandelier in "The Phantom of the Opera" made the Phantom look like a terrorist.

"911" has always stimulated the fragile nerves of Americans, they don't want to see any movies with "exciting" scenes, the Phantom of the Opera is familiar with the story, and Theolod has excellent acting skills to play a tragic routine, in order to withstand the collision in this wave of audience tastes, only to gain very few complaints and boycotts. If there was no impact of "911", then the box office would ...... It's even more unimaginable.

However, after "911", "The Phantom of the Opera" can still achieve such results, and Warner is very satisfied.

With the rapid finalization of "American Narcos", Theolod, who had just finished the promotion of "The Phantom of the Opera", had to immediately plunge into the promotion of "American Narcos", and he even accompanied Christina Jung to visit her father George Jung in prison.

In fact, this request was made by Christina, she was going to visit George in prison when the crew was finished, but unfortunately she didn't have time, just in time for the promotion of "American Drug Lord", so she simply made some contributions to her father's biopic and took the initiative to contact Theolod.

These are all things that Christina told Theorod, and as for what the real situation is, and whether she is really unable to visit because of time problems, Theorod does not debunk. She had an awkward relationship with her father for so many years, and it was not something he could change alone, he knew that Christina was just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted and couldn't let go, so he found such an excuse to let Theolod "accompany" her.

Theorod met Jung, who had not been seen for a few months in the same room, he still looked the same, prison life seemed to make him comfortable, but the news in prison was closed, and he was only informed by prison guards that his biopic had been filmed and would be released at the end of this year, and Theorod Lechter, the actor who played him, became an Oscar favorite.

"If you do win an Oscar, I must have a credit for it. As soon as Jung entered the door, he bluntly raised his chin slightly after being unhandcuffed by the prison guards.

But he found that Theolod did not sit in the same position he had sat in a few months ago, but instead stood in front of him and knocked on the table, smiling mysteriously: "I'm not here to listen to you today, George, but someone else." I'm sure you must have a lot to say to her, so I won't bother. ”

“…… She?" Before Jung could realize what he meant, he saw a young woman push open the door under the guidance of the prison guard. He looked at her, his eyes widened, his lips slightly open, and he wanted to say something, but the doting salutation did not come out of his mouth.

Despite all these years, he could still recognize her at a glance, and he was sure that it was his daughter, his little sweetheart, and the most precious treasure of his life.

“…… Don't think I'm here for you. Christina looked at her elderly father in front of her, her nose sour, her eyes red and quibbling.

Jung murmured softly as if he was stupid: "Of course, of course, baby, of course ......"

Theolod looked down and chuckled, hugged Christina to encourage her, and walked out of the room to wait.

After the time had passed, Christina reluctantly walked out of the room, wiping tears from her face as she walked, her eyes were red and swollen, and she seemed to have cried many times. Theolod didn't say much, just silently handed her a tissue and left with her when she had calmed down.

However, they were surrounded by reporters outside the prison, and those paparazzi didn't know where to get the news - maybe the film side leaked the news - and when they saw the two coming out, they stepped forward to surround the two. They all know at the moment that George Jung's daughter also plays Christina as an adult in the film, and today George Jung's daughter came to see him for the first time after he was imprisoned.

“…… Why?" Faced with why she had appeared in this film after years of indifference, and why she came to visit Jung, Christina looked at Theolod and replied, "It was Theo who persuaded me to act, and it was he who made me decide to visit George." I don't want to say anything more now, you guys will understand after watching the movie. ”

The reporter looked at the backs of the two of them leaving together, and secretly smelled a hint of gossip - could it be that the two of them filmed and filmed a relationship?

Theolod and Christina did have a relationship, but they didn't know that this relationship was not full of pink as they imagined, but a "father-daughter relationship". 166 Reading Network
