Chapter 389: Pirate Rampage
On July 3, Disney held the world premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" at Disneyland in California, and all of them flew to the United Kingdom that night, and the 4th was the London premiere - in order to wait for Daniel's trip, the premiere that was supposed to be held in late last month had to be postponed to this time, and Disney could imagine how unhappy it was.
However, the premiere was still quite grand - as the most high-profile commercial blockbuster of the year, the first part had a global box office of 800 million, earned Daniel an Oscar, and cultivated a group of captain fans who can be compared to magic fans. No matter how you look at it, this "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Coffin" will be the most likely work to break the 1 billion global box office.
And unusually, DD Pictures actually owns 30% of the revenue - this is probably Robert Brown. One of the things that Iger regrets the most is that when he acquired DD Pictures' investment rights to "Pirate 1", his lack of confidence in the film directly led him to give up the acquisition of DD's investment rights in the series, so that when "Pirate 1" exploded at the box office, it was impossible to get this right from Daniel - unless Disney came up with a billion-level price, but because Disney did not negotiate at all, this amount was only in the conjecture of the media.
Arnold. Governor Schwarzenegger and his family attended the premiere, his term ends in 2008, in what was seen as a sign of his intention to return to Hollywood after leaving office.
Orlando. Bloom, Kayla. Knightley, the two supporting actors are now well-known actors in Hollywood, especially Kayla, who was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars for "Pride and Prejudice" in a row, and then sat on the position of the first heroine of the "Pirates" series. It only takes a little time, perhaps a more representative work, to be able to advance to A coffee. As for Orlando, there are not many attempts worth mentioning other than "Pirates", and it can only be said that he has maintained his current position - a bit like Daniel when he finished filming "Gladiator". Daniel has an Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, while Orlando has 800 million box office and series support. It can be said that half a catty is eight taels. However, in terms of development potential, it is not the same - Orlando will continue to go down if it does not break through, while Daniel has a bright future at that time, sitting back and watching "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" sweep the global box office.

When No. 7 "Pirate 2" was officially released simultaneously in multiple box offices around the world, the whole Hollywood couldn't help but feel that it was difficult to understand.
"Bad Teacher", "Youth Musical", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Since the start of the summer season, Daniel has not left the cinema, maybe he invested, maybe he starred, but the topic is always on him, and his name will always appear in the report.
In response to the exclamations of the media.
Daniel updated a rare long article on his F2F.
"I've seen or heard the assertion that 'Daniel is hanging over Hollywood like a ghost' lately. I have to deny this compliment, whether it's a compliment or a reproach. In fact, in the major Hollywood studios. MGM and DD are still not in their normal production period, we don't distinguish between important projects and minor projects, and we value each production when it comes to rebuilding MGM's reputation. This severely limited the number of productions at MGM. Maybe in a year or two, we'll have more productions coming out, and the publicity resources and attention they get may be insignificant, but at that time. MGM is a complete big studio.
So why, instead am I considered to have 'shrouded' the whole of Hollywood? I guess I was totally to blame for that because I'm an actor. So whether it's the various works I've invested in, produced, participated in, or starred in, you're all counted on my head - it doesn't make sense, at least "Bad Teacher" belongs to Jack and Cameron, and "Musical" should also be credited to Kenny and the cuties.
Daniel didn't take Hollywood over, but I'm really proud to be able to invest, produce, and be a part of so many great films that people love, and that's what I'm after. Thank you for making this dream come true with me. ”
Daniel's denial won't make the story go silent, but it will be enough for Tricker to make a portion of the media willing to follow Daniel's will. In America, you should never try to unify public opinion - unless you are really offended by fundamental principles, which are usually not! Even if it is really such a heinous thing as racial discrimination, it may not offend all the media, at least some conservative media outlets that believe in white supremacy will express their views openly and covertly.
But Daniel, who needs to step up the pace of publicity on a global scale, also doesn't have much energy to deal with this state of affairs.
Overall, there was no serious harm either.

Before the release of "Pirate 2", critics generally believed that it could cut 70 million in the first three days of the weekend, only slightly higher than "Song and Musical". The reason is not pale, July 4 is the Independence Day of the United States, and the so-called military battleground. But "Pirate 2" obviously missed this point, and gave the schedule to "Youth Musical", "Bad Teacher", "Superman Returns" and "Cars" - and directly helped "Youth Musical" complete the feat of breaking 100 million in 5 days on the second day of Independence Day, and also sent "Bad Teacher" to the edge of breaking 100 million, so that on the day of the release of "Pirate 2", under the premise of a big drop in film scheduling, it achieved a good result of breaking 100 million - winning the second gold mountain for MGM.
In addition to missing the Independence Day schedule, blockbusters such as "Racing" and "Superman", as well as a number of dark horses with small budget "Song and Dance" and "Bad Teacher", will inevitably have an impact on the box office of "Pirate 2" - after all, everyone is not a local tyrant, although the ticket price of a few dollars is not high, but there may not be several movie tickets in everyone's budget.
However, with the influx of people into the cinema, the forecaster has been slapped in the face again this summer, so much so that some are already wondering if the profession is necessary.
This also laid the foundation for this year's summer file to become the "most unreasonable" summer file - a large number of dark horses broke out collectively, and big-budget commercial films set off a wave of box office - in the previous summer file, there was an incredible increase of nearly 50%, which was unprecedented in previous years.
On July 7, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" had a box office of 55.5 million on the first day, beating "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" and jumping to the top of the single-day box office list in film history, raising the record by 5.5 million.
"Leonardo da Vinci. "The Code" did not achieve this achievement, and "X-Men 3" also won 45.1 million, slightly behind the first place "Revenge of the Sith", and Pixar's CG animated blockbuster "Cars" and Warner Bros.'s giant production "Superman Returns" were ridiculed by "Youth Musical" - even less than the record.
Now, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has easily broken the record for the Star Wars franchise.
It is conceivable that soon, there will be a huge debate on the Internet.
Lord of the Rings, Captain fans, Star Wars fans - arguably the last and oldest Star Wars fans are the most powerful, and many of them have become celebrities in all walks of life, even in Hollywood, there are not one or two superstars who are fascinated by Star Wars. Cruise, Michael. Kane, etc., are all fans of the Star Wars series. In second place are Lord of the Rings fans - who benefited from The Hobbit's plan - despite the uneven interests of all parties, which are preventing this plan from becoming a reality. But this Lord of the Rings prequel still serves as a rope to keep the Lord of the Rings fans together.
Captain Fans, who was born at the latest, and have only one work released so far, are more based on Daniel and Jack. Spike's charisma makes him inevitably the weakest of the three fan groups. Sometimes Star Wars fans don't recognize them at all - which makes Captain fans breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, it's time to let go of that breath.
The record of the latest Star Wars series has been beaten by the latest Captain series!
Isn't that the greatest humiliation and proof?
And the number of captain fans will naturally increase rapidly with the launch of new movies, and it may be difficult to compete with Star Wars fans, but thanks to their activity on the Internet and the existence of a legendary superstar as a totem, the voice and cohesion of captain fans may not be weak.
A war between the two sides could be very exciting - and many people who know the inside story are waiting to see the show.
Don't underestimate the actions of these fans, protests, petitions, even signatures on the White House website, attacking actors, boycotting each other's films, and even buying newspaper pages to baash each other -- all of these actions have already been done, they are numerous, and they are willing to pay for them, and they are absolutely full of tricks to fight.
When the 9th ended and "Pirate 2" broke the 135 million mark in the first three days of the first weekend, the excitement of the captain's fans could not be concealed.
The official MB account for Pirates 2 - Sometimes promoters prefer to use MB over F2F, because MB is more disseminated than the more closed F2F. The official account released box office information and made a celebratory poster. Then the whole MB was almost swept up by this poster, and it quickly spread to other websites.
"If "Youth Musical" has been fully welcomed, it is entirely because it is like a cute elf, can sing and dance, and makes people happy. Then Pirates of the Caribbean 2 may be an all-devouring whale, and when it surfaces, everyone sees how big it really is. When the new opening weekend record of 135 million was set, fans of the "Pirates" franchise showed its daunting influence to the extreme, and the only question now is that it will "
- "The Premiere". (To be continued.) )
