After a year, "Billions Era" was once again mentioned by major Hollywood media, and this term is finally no longer a word exclusive to Chen Tiandu.

Sony was overjoyed, and Jeff Black, his general manager of global marketing and distribution, said: "A year ago, people thought that the $120 million for Speed was an insurmountable hurdle, Spider-Man accomplished that miracle on the first premiere weekend of this summer's schedule." Although there is still a gap with "Speed 1", I don't think this is a release record in film history that cannot be broken. ”

A reporter asked him, "How do you see the gap between the $123 million premiere of "Speed" and the $114 million premiere of "Spider-Man"?" ”

Jeff Black said proudly: "Many people have discussed this matter, and in my opinion, the box office of "Speed" benefited from Chen Tiandu's reputation and the strong marketing strategy that was hailed as a classic publicity case. "Spider-Man" has a wider audience base, and the reputation is also not low, and we should go further than "Speed". ”

This was seen as a challenge to last year's annual box office champion "Fast and Thrilling", and the reporter wanted to find Chen Tiandu to respond, but he couldn't get in touch. Only some die-hard fans of "speed" are sticking to it, "Break the record, let's wait for "Spider-Man" to break 400 million." ”

But no one thought that "Spider-Man" really had the potential to break 4.

The new addition to this family of superheroes is being released in 3,615 theaters, each with an average box office of $31,535. That's a new record for films that have been released in 3,000 or more theaters, surpassing the Harry Potter record of $7,000 per theater.

"Spider-Man" also became the second film to surpass the $100 million box office in the shortest time. Surpasses the original Harry Potter and Star Wars Prequels: The Phantom Menace. Both films took five days to reach $105 million at the box office.

And along with the "Billions Era", it is mentioned the most. It's the time of superheroes.

An era that belongs to the "superheroes" of comics may begin here.

The fire of "Spider-Man" has also made more people red-eyed, and more production companies have shifted their attention to other well-known comic book companies in the United States. But when I looked back, I found that several major comic companies had all belonged.

Even Universal has announced the start of the "Hulk" live-action movie, and 20th Century Fox has also announced the launch of a sequel to "X-Men", as well as the creation of a "Fantastic Four" movie, which has been established. A suitable maker is being sought.

There are more and more speculations about comic superheroes, and filmmakers with a little discerning can see the future advantages of superheroes. It seems to be expected that it will not be long before the whole of America will no longer be the world of Superman and Batman, and there will be more superhero movies one after another.

And the biggest regret among film companies is that Marvel was acquired by the discerning Chen Tiandu in advance.

According to the grapevine, Disney finally reached a belated consensus and issued an acquisition offer to Marvel again, but this time it started with a few minority shareholders of Marvel. Then send a takeover offer to Marvel's current boss matrix.

This is the second time that an anti-takeover offer has been issued since the banknote acquisition at the beginning of the year.

The first time was Warner Group. wanted to acquire the matrix once and for all, but Chen Tiandu flatly refused. This time it was Disney, which even offered $600 million to buy Marvel at one point. If the matrix agrees to this deal, they will make an extra 200 million as soon as they change hands. And Disney also paid the price for its arrogance, which was nearly twice the price of Chen Tiandu's acquisition of Marvel.

As this year's sweet and sweet, the matrix can be said to be unique.

"The smartest deal, $200 million in three months." The Wall Street Journal relied on this takeover offer.

"Following Warner's $1.3 billion purchase price for Matrix at the beginning of the year, Matrix has once again become a sweet spot, and Marvel has been unable to determine its market value after delisting, but it can still refer to the stock price three months ago. This offer is equivalent to three months after Chen Tiandu took over Marvel, after three months of plan adjustment, the stock rose by 40%! ”

"Christmas Chen has become a gold hand for film and television companies, making a half-dead old company rejuvenate in a blink of an eye."

According to this offer, Chen Tiandu's assets on Matrix Movies have reached $1.5 billion, and his total assets have roughly exceeded $2 billion, including the expanding shares of Google, becoming the most profitable Hollywood star in recent years! Especially since he is only 27 years old, at this age, history has not done anything better than him. ”

This report has been widely reprinted and reported by domestic media, Hong Kong media, and bend media who are keen on pursuing numbers.

Many Chinese people are carefully calculating, 2 billion US dollars = how many Hong Kong dollars? = How many Soft Girl Coins?

In 2002, the exchange rate of the US dollar yuan was 1:8.5, which is equivalent to the assets of 16 billion soft sister coins, and these do not include the growing real estate and cinema companies in China.

"Oh my God, is it so easy to be a rich man? It's only been a few years, $2 billion. ”

"What bullshit Forbes, why didn't my god's ranking rise last year, where did your numbers come from?"

Forbes also complained that $2 billion is definitely an overestimate. After all, none of the three major companies in Chen Tiandu's hands have been listed yet, and their assets cannot be simply converted into US dollars. Moreover, China's national conditions are complex, and the matrix real estate is too open, and the invisible income is even more difficult to count. They also invited Chen Tiandu's father Chen Yonghe to do an interview, but they were rejected without suspense, and they could only make a rough estimate, but they still didn't expect that the matrix company would be so popular, and the two giants made high offers to them this year, and they were rejected.

The outside world seems to have begun to recognize Disney's offer, a sure-fire deal.

But this offer was rejected by several Marvel shareholders, and they are very clear as insiders that the "Marvel Universe" big movie plan has been officially launched, Chen Tiandu owns 80% of the shares, and the remaining 20% are shared by small shareholders.

Especially after the acquisition, he injected $150 million to start the "Marvel Universe Project", but other shareholders have followed the capital injection, and it is really not beneficial to work against major shareholders. Unless they really intend to sell the shares. But at that time, when the shareholders' meeting was held, when I learned about this list of plans, I was very happy to this day, and I was all optimistic about this plan, how could I ignore it for a long time for the sake of short-term interests in the middle.

Wall Street is also talking about Chen Tiandu's acquisition of Marvel, which is really far-sighted.

There are talks about him everywhere, movies, companies, scandals, girlfriends, etc. Chen Tiandu is not in Hollywood now, but Hollywood talks about him every time, and there is a sense of "people are not in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes still have my legends".

However, the stage still belongs to "Spider-Man", and there are no other blockbusters launched this weekend and next weekend, and the launch of "Star Wars" will be ushered in on May 16, and "Spider-Man" still has a wide stage to show his talents.

The other two new films that were released last weekend had average results. Matt Dillon's street gangster drama "Wild Devil" came in at No. 7 at the box office with $2.7 million, and the film was released in 1,480 theaters, with an average box office of less than $1,824 per theater.

The big director Woody Allen's comedy "Hollywood Ending" tied with "House of Trembling" for No. 10 on the list. The film was released in 765 theaters and grossed $2.2 million, with an average of $2,876 per theater.

This list is equivalent to the top 12 films, which have made a total of $153.3 million at the box office, making "Spider-Man" account for almost three-quarters of the top 12 films.

――It's really impressive!

Pervasive marketing, 40 years of comic book readership, eye-pleasing action choreography and visuals, combined with a very ordinary legend and an outlier of young people, make "Spider-Man" a global fan base. Jeff Black said: "The ratio of male to female audiences and the number of people in the middle of 25 and around 25 is roughly half. ”

"It's a very common story that everyone can relate to, he's a completely misunderstood guy and no one can recognize him and he just wants to do something good," said Amy Pascal. He's not a hero from Krypton, just an ordinary one of us. ”

The success of "Spider-Man" heralded a summer of prosperity in Hollywood, and it lived up to expectations, plundering another $130 million the following week, surpassing "Speed" at the box office in the following week. In the third week, the latest Star Wars film "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" was ushered in, and it grossed $116.3 million in four days after its release, becoming the third fastest film to reach $100 million after "Speed" and "Spider-Man".

"Spider-Man" fell to No. 2 at the box office in its third weekend after its release, but still managed to make a good $46 million, earning a total of $286.5 million in its 17 days of release. By the end of next week, "Spider-Man" will hit the box office of $400 million and is expected to squeeze into the top five grossing grosses in film history.

This achievement has come from behind, surpassing "Speed and Excitement", and has made countless "speed" fans fall into a contradictory mood of resentment but helplessness. Because "Spider-Man" is a superhero who has grown up with them since childhood.

As the time officially enters the summer, Chen Tiandu is finally going to take action and regain his own country.

"The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution" is here, and as the finale of this series, it has officially entered the ranks of publicity, and will officially land in the global film industry on May 30.

All the opponents exclaimed, "Chen Tian has begun to fight back, he is coming to regain the lost ground!" (To be continued......)
