Due to the impact of word-of-mouth evaluation, the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" has declined sharply, and the overseas side is slightly better, with an increase of 4 countries and regions in the release of 4 countries and regions, and a longer release time, after winning $143 million at the overseas box office in the first week, in the second week of release, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" once again received $136 million at the overseas box office, winning the top spot in the overseas box office list for a second week.

However, in North America, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" was pulled down by "**City", which played the female and gay group cards in the second week of its release, which was definitely a shame for a blockbuster movie that was originally considered a strong contender for the annual championship. This week, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" earned a total of $46 million at the weekend box office this week, a drop of 54.46%, with a cumulative box office of $216 million.

"Desire * Hope City" surprisingly won $55.74 million at the box office, it must be known that Warner Bros. only expected a $25 million-$35 million opening result, and while it reached the top, it also set an insurmountable supreme barrier for the opening box office of romantic comedies. The previous record holder for the premiere of romantic comedies was Will. Smith's "Enemy of Love" grossed $43.1 million at its debut.

When the time came to the first week of June, "Kung Fu Panda", which featured oriental elements, came out and topped the box office with $60 million, setting a new record for the highest non-sequel animation debut in DreamWorks history, while refreshing "Horton and Anonymous" with $45.1 million, becoming the highest opening result of an animated film this year so far, and rave reviews. Rotten Tomatoes freshness 85%. The overall score of the media is 74. Yahoo! scored a B, which is not a big hit.

In the second week of June, it was the turn of "The Amazing Hulk" to show its might, reaching the top with $54.53 million.

In the same period last year, "Spider-Man 3" opened the summer file with a weekly box office of 69.6 million, and finally received a box office of 156 million, and then "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" landed on June 12. Won 48.6 million in the first week. In addition, there are five movies with a cumulative box office of tens of millions during the period: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Soul Chariot", "Life and Death Sniper", "Heart of the King", and "Life Remote Control".

And "The King of Kung Fu", which was the first to be released on April 24 this year, broke 80 million at the box office in the first week, and finally accumulated 167 million, and then "Iron Man", which landed on April 30, was 31 million in the first five days of the first week, with a total box office of 100 million, reaching 106 million, and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2: Prince Caspian", which landed on June 6, was 27 million in three days over the weekend and 23 million in the next week. In addition, the cumulative box office of the two films "Dragon War" and "Gold Rush" also exceeded 10 million.

The two are contrasted, so far. This year's results are undoubtedly even better, and next is the release of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape".

Although the same period last year, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" table Xiàn was quite good. After winning 48.6 million box office in the first week, 37.4 million in the second week, followed by 21.3 million and 14.6 million box office in succession, dominating the mainland box office list for four consecutive weeks, and finally accumulating a total box office of 133 million, ranking eighth in the annual box office.

Such an achievement cannot but be said to be good, but compared with the upcoming "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", everyone knows the huge gap between the two.

Not to mention the others, only the reason that "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" is directed by Lin Yuquan is enough, the number jù is the best basis, throughout the past few years, Lin Yuquan is undoubtedly the most successful director in the mainland film market, 04 "Huo Yuanjia", the first week box office was 40.15 million, the final box office was 135 million, the annual box office was third, 05 years "Red Cliff", the first week box office was 95.3 million, the final box office was 267 million, the annual box office was the first, 06 years "Painted Skin", the first week box office was 71 million, The final box office was 323 million, the first box office of the year, and the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" in 07 was 84.55 million in the first week, and the final box office was 371 million, the first box office of the year, and successfully broke the box office record of 360 million in film history set by "Titanic" in the mainland, achieving great transcendence.

Dominating the mainland box office for three consecutive years, such a brilliant result is absolutely unprecedented, and everyone believes that "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", which has invested in Lin Yuquan's new high, is bound to continue to be brilliant.

Therefore, the global box office is difficult to say, but because of Lin Yuquan's survival, the mainland box office of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" must have left "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" far behind in the same period last year.

And because Lin Yuquan's influence in China is too terrifying, "Kung Fu Panda", which was originally intended to be released in mid-6, temporarily moved the schedule to July 3, not only "Kung Fu Panda", but also "Superman for All" also moved the schedule to July 10, blockbusters are still like this, and small and medium-cost films have retreated.

This situation is not only happening in China, but also in North America, Hong Kong, Treasure Island, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Russia in many countries and regions, many films that are interested in the box office will arrange their release schedules away from June 20, and no film company wants to have its own film and "Wild Tales: The Rise of the Apes", the most anticipated movie this summer, this is no joke.

For a while, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" almost formed a vacuum zone for new films to be released in the first week or two, especially blockbuster new films, which made the producers of the films released in the previous two or three weeks happy

Time flashed to June 20th, the Friday of the third week of June, judging from the holiday situation alone, this is an ordinary day, but for many movie fans, this is a long-awaited day, because today there is a movie called "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" is released, it is the most anticipated movie this summer, and the director is Lin Yuquan.

Since the birth of "Huo Yuanjia", Lin Yuquan has become the most popular commercial director in the world, in addition, he also has the titles of "Kung Fu Superstar", "Best-selling Author", "Top Rich" and "Superhero". Global reach. It's like surpassing any star artist. His films alone are hugely appealing.

What's more, judging from the trailer released, the visual effects of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape Race" are shocking.

Although it has been a common phenomenon in recent years, well-edited trailers are often more exciting than the film itself, and many movies with wonderful trailers only to find that they are actually bland and boring after entering the theater.

But Lin Yuquan's movies don't have to worry about this, "Huo Yuanjia", "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "Hurricane Rescue", four classic genre movies in a row. It has been fully proven that the quality of the trailer and his film is the same as the inside and the outside, and it lives up to the name.

In this case, it is not difficult to imagine the expectations of movie fans and book fans for the release of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", in fact, they have long been eager to see the ancient and vast fantasy and wild world depicted in the novel, to see the Caesar who is determined by me and sworn to fight to the death, and the abrupt fight scene in the trailer For this, they have waited too long and too long. And now, "Savage: Rise of the Apes" has finally been released. How is this not exciting.

"Wow, it's finally until today, Caesar, Eugene, Joseph, Giroud, the Giants, the Lion, the Blood Beast, and the Sky Swallower are really exciting." Eric. Green said with his hands dancing that he was originally just a fan of Lin Yuquan, to be exact, a kung fu fan, but since he bought the novel of "Wild Story" because of his idol, he has transformed into a fanatical book fan, the brilliant and magnificent, magnificent story, the ancient and charming world, the complex and exquisite plot, every qiē in it fascinates him, oh, he loves this novel to death.

He quickly dialed the phone of his dead friend, and said excitedly to the phone: "Hey, Joe, what are you going to do at night, why don't we go to the cinema to watch "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" together, what, you have already bought a ticket, damn it, I treat you as my best friend in vain, you didn't call me, you didn't buy it, it's pretty much the same, what, there were a lot of people when your cousin bought tickets yesterday, okay, I'll go to a few nearby theaters to see if there are tickets?" ”

Put down the phone, Eric. Green wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to slap himself in the mouth, damn, why didn't he think of buying tickets in advance, how popular "Wild Tales: Rise of the Apes" is now, needless to say, there are definitely so many people who want to see tonight's premiere that they explode.

What a mistake! Eric. Green felt remorseful in his heart, but the most important thing now was that he went out in a hurry, running towards the nearest movie theater to his home, full of only one thought, there must be a ticket, he was already waiting for a madness, Hugh said a day, two days, even if it was a minute and a second, he didn't want to wait any longer.

"I don't know what Kung Fu Lin will make "Wild Wild" look like, but the trailer and poster are already very exciting, just like the Caesar, Eugene, and Wild World I imagined, it's really exciting, I want to see it right away." Jessica. Bell looked at the "Wild Tales" novel in front of him in a daze, and his mind had already flown to the upcoming movie.

A sudden ringing of the cell phone will be Jessica. Bell woke up from her reverie and saw the caller ID on it, and a bright smile appeared on her face. Bass.

"Hey, Jessica, didn't we say we would go to see Savage Tales: Rise of the Apes together, where did we meet?" Cheryl. Bass's sweet voice.

"Oh, Cheryl, I can't go with you tonight." Jessica. Bell said apologetically.

"What, we can't go together, why? Don't you love kung fu lin and the novel of "Wild Story" as much as I do? "Cheryl. There was confusion in Buzz's tone.

"Of course I love Kung Fu Lin to death, and I also love the novel "Wild Story", it's not that I don't go to the movies, but because I want to go with my father and mother"

A set set up in the Shuguang Film and Television Base.

"Cut, very good, take a five-minute break, let's shoot and continue to the next set of scenes, everyone bring out your best state, and after the filming is over in a while, we will call it a day and watch "Wild Savage: The Rise of the Apes"." Chen Kaige's hearty voice sounded.

"Oh, okay, Director Chen, if you don't say it, I'll do that, I also want to finish work early to watch Yuquan's movies, his movies have always been very exciting." Liu Dehua said with a smile.

"Yes, Director Chen." "Director, don't worry." After Liu Dehua, everyone in the crew echoed him.

The same scene also happened sooner or later in the crews of "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", "October Siege", "Drunken Gold Fan", "I Am the Fire Phoenix of Special Forces", and also happened in Shuguang Film Company, Shuguang Network, Yuquan Family, Supernova, Shuguang Publishing House, Little Bear Publishing House, Summit Entertainment and other companies.

Among them, the three crews of "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors", "October Siege", and "Tongtian Empire", which are currently filming in Hengdian, will watch them together.

Liu Yifei's delicate face showed two shallow dimples, looking at the scene in front of him, he felt indescribable pride in his heart, whose movie can be like this, only Brother Yuquan's, no one else.

Maybe it's because of watching "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" as a driving force, whether it is Liu Dehua, Liu Yifei and other actors, or the crew members, everyone is in a very good state.

quickly packed up their things, and everyone in the crew immediately returned to the House of Dawn.

"Director Chen, you've finally called it a day, and I'm going to miss you." Chen Jiashang, who was stretching his muscles, smiled when he saw Chen Kaige and others who got out of the car.

"I didn't expect Director Chen, your movements to be faster than me, I originally thought that I would be the first to finish today's shooting." Chen Kaige smiled.

"Heh, the main thing is that everyone can't wait to watch Director Lin's movie, it's incredible that they're in good shape." Chen Jiashang said with a smile.

The other people on the side forced back their laughter, the scene of the two directors surnamed Chen calling each other Director Chen is really interesting, and if Chen Desen, who lives in the same house of dawn, joins in, it will be even more interesting.

Separated from her agent assistant, Liu Yifei walked happily towards the villa where she lived, and every time she saw Chen Kaige greeting Chen Jiashang and Chen Desen, she couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him, and walked towards him, after seeing the other party, the smile on Liu Yifei's face became more and more bright, but as if he hadn't seen the other party, he didn't have any meaning to say hello at all, and the same was true for the other party, and then when they staggered by, the two snorted softly almost at the same time.

The other person is naturally none other than Liu Shishi, who is filming "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", although in the eyes of outsiders, there is no problem between the two, and they are very polite and polite to each other, but when no one is present, the two who are rivals in love will certainly not pay attention to each other.

is also because of filming in the same place, the two will inevitably compete in secret, and they will work very hard when filming, and they will strive to show their best side, and no one wants to lose to anyone.

It didn't take long.

"Alright, the people are almost here, let's go!"

With Chen Kaige's words, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei both showed heartfelt smiles on their faces at this time, and their eyes flashed with anticipation, and they could finally watch Yuquan (Brother Yuquan) movies.
