Chapter 418: Hulk VS Captain America

nbsp; "Thanks, Quinn and Johnny, sorry for the trouble. ∮," Chen Tiandu thanked.

Quinn said indifferently, "These guys are getting bolder, this is a private beach." I really should have found a few security guards to keep order. ”

"Let's have a drink, Chen, I have sake at home that I brought back from Japan." Johnny invited.

Chen Tiandu waved his hand and said, "No, Kate is not feeling well, I have to go back and take a look." ”

"Oh, that doesn't bother you. Go back and let Eliza go see Kate. Eliza is Johnny's wife and a member of the Women's Federation in the community, and she is very popular among women.

"Thank you."

After Chen Tiandu went home to take a shower, he made a plate of fried eggs with his own hands. I also scrambled myself an egg fried rice. Put milk, juice and other food on a tray and carry it into the bedroom. Kate is still sleeping, but after more than ten hours, it's almost there. I heard the door open and woke up.

Sniffed his nose, "It's delicious, it's brown rice, thank you." ”

Chen Tiandu opened his mouth, he wanted to say that it was for himself, but Kate had already pulled the plate over, so he had to shut up.

"How's it going?" He reached out and tested the temperature on Kate's forehead, and then put it on his forehead to compare. The body temperature is normal, the face is ruddy, but I am not energetic, and I am sleepy all day long.

"I really don't have the talent to be a doctor, so I'll call the doctor to see ...... No, let Dracula accompany you to a professional hospital for a check-up, you haven't had a medical check-up in a long time. Last week, my grandfather's health was getting worse and worse, and it was estimated that he would not live long. ”

"Oh, my God." Kate covered her mouth. Some are overwhelmed.

Chen Tiandu waved his hand. "Those have nothing to do with you. Let's take care of ourselves first. ”

"I know for myself, if you don't have time, I'll go back and see ...... for you"

Chen Tiandu thought about it, felt that it was a good attention, and said, "That's fine, my grandmother and mother also miss you very much." ”

"Well, I'll leave this afternoon." With something to do, she doesn't lie in bed either.

North America from May 18 to May 26 is in the middle of the Memorial Day holiday. But the weekly box office champion, "Furious 2" failed to achieve consecutive championships.

The latest film starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston, "The Impostor," earned $70.5 million on its first day of opening during the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the United States, according to data released by the studio on Sunday. The total box office in the first four days of release reached $86.1 million, also setting a new box office record for a non-sequel comedy.

The $81 million "Impostor" is distributed by Universal, a subsidiary of the French group Vifti Global, in which Jim Carrey plays a complaining TV news reporter and Morgan Freeman plays the black god who is cursed by Jim and gives Jim magical powers. With Jim Carrey on the stage, and a beautiful woman who is good at comedy, Jennifer Aniston is there, which makes the movie unexpected.

The total box office revenue for the first 4 days was $86.1 million. This will make "The Impostor" the No. 2 film in box office history to premiere during the Memorial Day four-day holiday. At No. 1 is $90.2 million set by Jurassic Park: The Lost World in 1997.

"Furious 2" grossed $56 million the following weekend, dropping to second place at the box office this weekend. And the film's total North American box office has climbed to $216 million.

For this result, Matrix Films is already very satisfied, after all, it is a commercial popcorn production, and it is not bad to be able to maintain a decline of less than 45% in the next week.

Throughout the summer, there are movies released every day. In the game of giants, maintaining long-term competitiveness can maintain the final victory. And with the inevitable influx of teenagers into cinemas during the summer vacation, although there are many new blockbusters, "Fast and Exciting 2", which is based on the previous work, also has its own unique attraction.

According to the company's analyst predictions, the North American box office of "Fast and Furious 2" should be more than 350 million, and counting the overseas films that have been opened one after another, the final box office should not be less than 600 million, and it is naturally not a problem to recover costs and make money.

From May 26th to June 1st, there were strong films to occupy the space.

The Chinese translation of the cartoon "Finding Nemo" ("Finding Nemo"), which depicts the world of magical fish under the sea, was released as "Finding Nemo", which made North American fans fascinated and wanted to stop.

It sold $70.6 million at the box office on its opening day, taking the top spot for the week.

This computer-generated, 3D cartoon about family life tells the story of a worried clownfish at the bottom of the sea, desperate to find and rescue a brave child trapped in an office glass tank.

The film set a new record for the premiere of a cartoon, surpassing the $62.5 million box office that debuted in November 2001 for the animated film Monsters, Inc. Both films are co-produced by Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Productions, which have collaborated on five consecutive box office winners, first with 1995's Toy Story.

Animated films have always had a long screening period, and there is a growing interest in watching animated films around the world. Such a hot market also made Chen Tiandu's eyes extremely hot, and he thought of the matrix animation company that made him invest a lot.

Although the matrix special effects company is already among the four major special effects companies in Hollywood, it cannot change the characteristics of low profits, long construction periods, and high competitive pressure in the special effects company industry.

He had long been interested in changing his career from a special effects company to an animation department, and now it seems that the time has really come to act.

"Finding Nemo" ordered Jim Carrey's comedy "The Impostor" to take second place at the box office with $35.6 million, and the cumulative box office sales of "The Impostor" in 10 days of release were $135.7 million.

And Matrix's "Furious 2" continued to win $28.5 million at the box office after its first week of release, accumulating the film's box office in North America to $259 million, becoming the box office champion in the summer so far this year, nearly 60 million higher than the 199 million of "X-Men 2", which was released two weeks more. This data also once again demonstrates the appeal of a strong sequel.

If not, "Furious 2" will also become the first film to exceed $300 million in the summer this year, and the expectation of the matrix will be perfectly realized.

In the first week of overseas release, it also directly exceeded 100 million this week, setting an overseas record of 153 million US dollars. The global box office has accumulated $412 million.

In other words, Lin Yibin went from obscurity to a commercial director with a global box office of more than $400 million. The most direct manifestation of the change in status is that he came to the matrix company again this time, and the employees below looked at him with a little more respect.

"Congratulations, Justin, "Furious 2" has met expectations at the box office, if the next film can still have such box office results......" Peck also greeted him with a hug, "You will become Hollywood's first-rate commercial film director." ”

Lin Yibin was a little dizzy, but he didn't completely faint, he finally calmed down in his heart, and said, "Peck, this is not my contribution." It's everyone, it's everyone's effort. You know, without Chen behind the scenes, no one has the confidence to take over this movie. ”

"Haha, you take the credit as much as you can, I don't think the boss will mind at all." Pek laughed and said, "If there are no accidents in the future, you should be able to prepare for the work of "Fast and Exciting 3", and the company fully supports your decision."

Peck's assurance made Lin Yibin feel happy directly from his heart to the top of his head, "Is this Chen's decision, he is in the company?" ”

"Yes." Peck nodded: "I'm in a meeting with the special effects department, the company's listing date is approaching, and the special effects department will also be reorganized, and the special effects department will be officially reorganized into a matrix animation company." A couple of us guys have been discussing this recently. ”

"Wow, that's pretty good. Congratulations. ”

This weekend, two new films in the top 10 at the box office have made their mark stand out: the premiere of "Mission Italy," a remake of the 1969 crime film starring Michael Cain, which debuted at No. 4 at the box office with $19.3 million, starring Mark Wahlberg, Charize Theron and Edward Norton, and is distributed by Paramount, part of Viacom. "Fatal Bend," a low-budget teen thriller released by 20th Century Fox, grossed just $5 million this weekend.

"Furious 2" earned $18.8 million at the box office in its fourth week of release, accumulating $282 million in North America. Overseas was released in more countries and regions this week, continuing to win $182 million at the box office, and the overseas cumulative reached $335 million, with a total global box office of $617 million.

The weekend of June 20 is approaching, and "Captain America" will also be officially released in 3,021 theaters in North America, along with a Marvel blockbuster "The Incredible Hulk". It's a pity that this movie doesn't belong to Marvel, but to Universal.

Two super productions were released in one day, and two comic book stars were born in the United States one after another.

If it were possible, Chen Tiandu definitely didn't want to collide with "The Incredible Hulk".

"Boss, it's not a good situation. Universal is running on the release of "Captain America", and the global media has a large number of photos of Chris Ace's nightclub. The Ruifan of the Propaganda Department called Chen Tiandu to report the situation.

"Calm down!" Chen Tiandu reprimanded with a serious face, "Is there any content about Chris's drug use?" ”

"Not yet, we asked Chris, he doesn't take drugs. It's just that there are a lot of photos of drunk girls. This is definitely deliberate. Because the copyright of "Hulk" has been repurchased, they plan to make a lot of money on this one, and they don't care about the follow-up interests, so they are unscrupulous. ”

Chen Tiandu said: "Contact the global side for me, I want to invite Mr. Carlos to dinner, which is in the global restaurant." ”

"Okay, boss." Ruiya calmed down, "Any other orders?" ”

Chen Tiandu thought for a while, "By the way, call Kefitch and ask him if he is free to go with him." ”
