"Who can stop Savage: Rise of the Apes?"

"The Hollywood Reporter" used this as the title to report on the North American weekend box office TOP10 from July 4 to July 6, due to the temporary postponement of "Superman for All", there was no new film released last week, because of this reason, the total box office of the TOP10 inevitably fell sharply, and for this reason, the previous films have fallen considerably.

"Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" won the championship with a decline of 30.7% and a box office of $64.69 million, while "Machine Qì Man Wali" fell by 38.37%, also occupying the second place without the slightest suspense, this last week's word-of-mouth explosion, the comprehensive media score even slightly surpassed "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", a masterpiece that topped the list of films released since 08, earning $38.12 million last weekend, with a cumulative box office of $131 million, second only to the speed of circle money in Pixar's previous works. Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are also higher than the $118 million earned by this summer's rival "Kung Fu Panda" in the same period.

From the current point of view alone, "Machine Qì Ren Walli" is undoubtedly better than "Kung Fu Panda" in all aspects, "Machine Qì Ren Walli" box office in the first weekend of 61.85 million US dollars, "Kung Fu Panda" 60 million US dollars; "Machine Qì Man Wali" grossed $38.12 million the next week, and "Kung Fu Panda" $34.21 million; "Machine Qì Ren Wali" fell 38.37% in the second week, and "Kung Fu Panda" 43.72%; "Machine Qì Human Wall-E" has a cumulative box office of $131 million in 10 days, and "Kung Fu Panda" has a total of $118 million, and the two are far from each other in terms of word-of-mouth.

And the third place is not occupied by other movies. It is "Kung Fu Panda", which is at the bottom of the competition in the same period. This week, "Kung Fu Panda" fell by 34.22%. Another $8.37 million was collected. Although it can't compare to "Wal-E" in the same period, due to the lack of heavyweight new films released in recent weeks, it has accumulated $199.4 million, and it may not be able to win in the final battle. And the overseas box office table of "Kung Fu Panda" is quite good, and it is not so easy for "Machine Qì Man Wali" to surpass.

In fourth place is "The Amazing Hulk", which fell 43.81% this week to $5.12 million, with a cumulative box office of $125 million in four weeks. As a budget of $137 million. The actual investment of $150 million, a superhero film based on the popular comic book, is a miserable achievement, and the film's overseas success is extremely lackluster. Before that, the previous work "Hulk Hulk" directed by Li Yu only had a global box office of $245 million when it was released in 03, and failed twice in a row, so it can be said that the superhero "Hulk" has come to the end of the road on the big screen, and it is estimated that there will be no sequel movies for a long time in the future.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", which has been in theaters for seven weeks, remains strong, falling only 21.34% this week, collecting another $4.26 million. The cumulative box office has reached $307 million, which is close to the $312 million of "Iron Man".

Although this summer file is difficult to compare with the same period last year at the beginning. However, the time advanced to July, one broke 400 million, and two broke 300 million, and the realization of the big reversal surpassed the same period last year.

As for who can stop "Savage: Rise of the Apes", "The Hollywood Reporter" believes that this week's large-scale release of "Wanted" and "Confused Detective" have a chance to prevent "Savage: Rise of the Apes" from continuing to win, and it pointed out in the report: "Although "Wanted" and "Confused Detective" are both small and medium-budget films, they have received second only to several blockbusters in this summer's file. Beckmam. Betov, Angelina. Julie and Morgan. Freeman's two superstars, the latter is an adaptation of the classic series, sitting on Steve Brown. Karel, Annie. Hathaway and Dwayne Johnson are three popular stars.

After all, this is the fourth week of the release of "Savage Story: Rise of the Apes", and "Wanted" and "Confused Detective" are both expected to achieve good debut box office results. "Wanted" in particular, the film's special effects in the trailer are very dazzling and easy to appeal to young people, and its premiere box office is expected to be $40 million to $50 million. If "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" wants to create a fourth consecutive championship in the world, the decline must be controlled within 38.17%, but this is not safe, and it is best to control it at 22.71%, which is too unlikely. ”

"In North America, it is estimated that it will be difficult for "Wild Wilds: The Rise of the Ape Race" to win the championship again, but in China, it may be possible to win five consecutive championships." Looking at the entertainment news report on the computer screen, it was difficult for Han Shanping to show a smile on his face, although "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Ape Clan" is a Hollywood blockbuster, but no matter how high its box office is, it has nothing to do with China Film, because the domestic distribution of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" was not operated by China Film, but distributed by Shuguang Films, and the final proceeds all fell into Lin Yuquan's pocket.

Not only did he not smile, every time he saw the report that "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" created a box office myth in the mainland, he had distressed convulsions, if "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" was an imported film imported and released separately by China Film, then according to the previously signed box office sharing ratio of imported films, China Film can get 25.5% in addition to 57% of the theater chain and 17.5% of the producer's ceiling, and now the box office of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Clan" is 592 million, and China Film can get 138.4 million, and according to the " The box office trend of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" is conservatively estimated that China Film can share about 200 million, but now this huge share has nothing to do with China Film.

Thinking about it again, if Lin Yuquan's film is operated in the form of a Sino-US co-production every time, Han Shanping is really intolerable, which will undoubtedly make China Film lose a lot, although China Film and Shuguang Film are cooperating happily at the moment, but compared with the benefits of cooperation, there is no doubt that the loss is more.

Moreover, as the domestic film market has become increasingly large, the six major Hollywood studios have been seeking to get more box office shares, and over the years, they have constantly lobbied the US government through the Motion Picture Association of America, prompting the latter to file a lawsuit with the WTO last year over the restrictions on the distribution of Hollywood films in the Chinese market, so as to exert international pressure on China.

Seeing that Lin Yuquan's co-production has made huge profits, it is difficult to guarantee that the six major Hollywood studios will not follow suit. Playing a big co-op card. Just to get more accounts. Allowing this kind of shì to spread will fundamentally shake the interests of Zhongying. It must be known that the main income of China Film is the monopoly of imported films, and if there is no monopoly of imported films, it will be difficult for China Film to maintain its current scale.

If it is an ordinary movie, he can also use the schedule of imported blockbusters to suppress it, but "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" is too strong, and Lin Yuquan's influence in China is too great. Suppressing it with imported films such as "Kung Fu Panda" and "Superman for All" will not have any effect at all, and will only hurt its own interests. Therefore, it is important not only not to suppress, but to try to avoid a head-on collision with "Savage Story: The Rise of the Ape Race".

In fact, even if he is ruthless enough to damage his interests and suppress "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan", he will not be able to do so, with Lin Yuquan's strong influence now, once China Film deliberately suppresses "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", the consequences are really unimaginable, he does not think that in the midst of the anger of the masses, his position as chairman of China Film can be kept.

It seems that it must be done, Han Shanping's eyes froze. He made up his mind that he had to do his best to build a movie bureau. Strictly censor Sino-US co-productions, not a completely American story, invest a little money, just call a Sino-US co-production, and then change its appearance to enter the domestic market as a co-production, without any restrictions. Co-productions, co-productions, at least a certain percentage of Chinese funding, and must have Chinese actors as the leading roles. Only such regulations can protect the monopoly position of China Film imported films to the greatest extent.

Lin Yuquan didn't know what Han Shanping was thinking, and at this time he had already come to Rongcheng to prepare for a week-long Asian propaganda.

The square of the shopping mall where the Shuguang Cinema in Chengdu is located became crowded on the afternoon of July 9th, and it was very lively, Lin Yuquan chose this time as the place for propaganda in China.

"Hello, Director Lin, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan" has won three consecutive championships in China, with a box office of more than 100 million yuan for three consecutive weeks, and even broke a historical record during the period, how do you feel about this?" A tall female reporter said excitedly.

"What else can I say, I am both satisfied and grateful, thank you for your strong support for me and for "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race", it is because of everyone's support that such a great result has been achieved." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Hello, Director Lin, I am Yan Wei of "West China Metropolis Daily", and now the media and the public in many countries or regions are discussing whether "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" can continue to win the championship, among which in China, everyone thinks that "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" will have four consecutive championships without suspense. In North America, the media unanimously expects "Wanted" to win the box office this week, what do you think about this? ”

"It's a great pleasure to have everyone's support in your own home, but it doesn't matter if you're a champion or not, the important thing is that you like the movie "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes". I watched the latest 2-minute movie highlights released a few days ago in "Wanted", the clips are very exciting, very attractive to fans who like action movies, especially young fans, and it is indeed a movie with huge box office potential, but if you ask me if I am confident that I will win the championship for a second time, I will say yes, because I have confidence in my own movie, and I believe that fans and audiences will not let me down, and most importantly, it is not the end of "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes". ”

"Kung Fu Lin thinks that "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" will continue to be the top box office in North America this week, what do you think?"

After Lin Yuquan's interview was transmitted back to the United States, media reporters naturally scoffed, they did not think that "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", which was released in the fourth week, could stop the fierce offensive of "Wanted" and "Confused Detective", which was purely Kung Fu Lin's propaganda rhetoric.

Universal Pictures, which has established a good relationship with Lin Yuquan, also disagrees with this, they have watched the full version of "Wanted" in advance, and they are full of confidence in the movie, although due to the imminent release of the film, they have not yet announced the news to the public, but they have secretly brewed the script of the sequel, and are ready to invite the two co-screenwriters Derek. Haas and Michael. Bradt continued to write screenplays, and before that, they co-wrote "Fast & Thrill 2," "Battle for Yumatown," "Little Ghost Thief," and are currently working on the upcoming "Spy Hunter" and "Tenron Agents."

However, fans don't think so, what is "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", this is three consecutive championships, rising to the second place in the total box office in North American film history, and the global box office broke $1 billion, setting a historical record. Anyway, they won't watch these two movies, and if they want to watch them, they will only watch "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape".

"Hey, Cheryl, let's go watch "Savage: Rise of the Apes" again, those damn media actually think that a movie like "Wanted" will step on "Savage: Rise of the Apes", hmph, if "Savage: Rise of the Apes" wins this week's box office, what will they say?" Jessica. Bell gritted his teeth.

"Yes, it's infuriating, but it's not enough for the two of us, there is strength in numbers, so let's call Elle and them to go with us, and mobilize the other classmates or neighbors around." Cheryl. Bath Road.

"Oh, that's a good idea, ha, I'll ask my brother to mobilize his classmates too." Jessica. Bell said excitedly.

"Hey, Joe, what are you doing? I'll treat you to a movie this weekend! "Eric. Green said into the phone.

"What, invite me to watch a movie, why did you suddenly become so kind?" A surprised voice came from the phone.

"Please, what kind of bad intentions have I had, can you just answer if you want to go?" Eric. Green didn't have a good airway.

"Go, why don't you go to someone to watch the movie, I just want to watch "Wanted"."

"Who said please watch "Wanted", watch "Savage: The Rise of the Ape Clan"." Eric. Green said angrily.

"Haven't we seen it yet?"

"Hmph, those guys actually think that "Savage: Rise of the Apes" will definitely lose to "Wanted", don't you think it will be a very interesting thing for "Savage: Rise of the Apes" to win four consecutive championships? Slap in the face or something, I like it the most. ”

Similar scenes happened in many places, and due to the heated discussion of the topic, Lin Yuquan also received calls or text messages from his second daughter and friends one after another.

"Brother Yuquan, I believe that it will definitely be able to win four consecutive championships." Liu Yifei.

"Yuquan, I'm sure you'll continue to create the Zào myth." Liu Shishi.

"Isn't it the fourth consecutive North American box office title? Yuquan, take out "Wanted" and "Savage: Rise of the Apes", and you will be the champion. ”

"Although rational analysis, it is unlikely that "Savage Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" will win the North American re-election, I still believe that you can do it, because Yuquan is the best at creating a zào miracle." Ning Hao.

"Isn't it just to break the record or something?" Xiao Yang.

"Yo yo, Yuquan you also have times when you are looked down upon, haha, I'm not gloating, I'm just a surprised reaction." Xu Jinglei.

"As a friend, of course I hope that your movie will continue to be a box office hit, but for my own sake, I'm sorry, this week's box office champion, "Confused Detective", took it." Dwayne Johnson on the rock.

Most of the time, Lin Yuquan could only shake his head with tears and laughter, whether he could win the championship or not was not something he could decide, it depended on the audience's choice, but when he saw Dwayne Johnson's text message, he instantly burst into laughter, and then replied to the other party: "In fact, box office hits don't mean anything to dispensable supporting roles, and you don't have to be embarrassed, "Confused Detective" can only win the third place." ”

In Lin Yuquan's busy publicity, the heated discussion and attention of media fans, the time soon came to Friday, July 11, on this day, two movies were released on a large scale, one was "Wanted" released in 3179 theaters, and the other was "Confused Detective" released in 3677 theaters. (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you for the monthly ticket support of the three friends who tell about the soldier, the eternal tear stain, and the happy waste, 68 monthly passes, which seems to be the best result in history, just like "The Wild Story", breaking the historical record, which is really gratifying.
