As a film that accounts for half of the investment amount, "Fast and Furious. The release of "Love 4" was naturally highly valued by Lin Yuquan and Summit Entertainment.

As for Universal Pictures, needless to say, "Fast & Furious. The success of "Love 4" is not only related to the company's box office ranking and overall profitability this year, but also has an important impact on its future layout.

Since the opening films of the summer season in North America are often in the first week of May, the last week of April has always been a very poor week at the box office, and major companies will not release any heavyweight films at this time.

For this reason, Universal Pictures went the opposite way and deliberately put "Fast and Radical. Love 4 is scheduled to be released on April 24, and in addition to "Fast and Excited. Love 4", the box office competitiveness of other new films released on a large scale in the same period is quite average, one is the thriller "Fascinated" produced by Sony Pingzhen and starring Beyoncé, with a production cost of 20 million US dollars and 2,522 theaters; One is produced by DreamWorks, Tito. Montiel, Chanin. "Underground Boxing Ring" starring Tatum, which was screened in 2,306 theaters; One is produced by Paramount DreamWorks, little Roth. Donnie and Jamie. "Soloist" starring Fox, which cost $60 million to produce and was released in 2015 theaters; One is produced by Disney, Erestel. Directed by Fasse Gill, Patrick. Stewart's major 3D documentary, "The Moon," cost $30 million to produce and was screened in 1,804 theaters.

The biggest competitor is Beyoncé's "Fascinated", "Soloist" despite the higher production cost and the brighter cast. However, it is limited by the type of film. Limited box office competitiveness.

Since 06, he has officially set foot in the film industry. Beyoncé seems to be the most box office appeal of the first-line singer, Beyoncé's films are all successful in the commercial field, a low-budget comedy "Pink Panther" box office exceeded 80 million US dollars, an Oscar front literary film "Dream Girl" box office exceeded 100 million, and a "Legend of the Blues" only participated as a supporting role and had a terrible reputation, and the commercial box office was also good.

Of course, from any point of view. "Legend of the Blues" can't compete with "Fast & Furious. Love 4" competes, as the world's hottest sequel to the most popular racing movie of all time, "Fast and Furious. Love 4" originally had a strong attraction, and after Lin Yuquan served as a producer, it detonated the enthusiasm of fans who like action movies in one fell swoop, whether it is Lin Yuquan's producer, or Fan Di. Searle, Paul. Walker, Rock. Johnson's fiery showdown, or the franchise's highest production cost of $100 million, have made "Fast and Furious. Fans of "Love" are full of anticipation.

In the "Spartan 300 Warriors" all the way, the time quickly came to Friday, April 24, including "Fast and Furious. Five new films released on a large scale, including Love 4, landed in North America.

The "Love" series has not achieved results in the past, and even the total North American box office of the third part of the series is only a little over $60 million.

The first box office of Love 4 reached $50 million, and the word-of-mouth reviews of critics and fans were not bad, and the final North American box office of the film should be more than $150 million, and together with the overseas box office and other revenue channels, it is almost certain that it will be profitable.

……

The media overall score is 69 points, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 79%, the film critic on Yahoo is B+, and the audience is A–. Love 4 seems to have received the highest praise in the series.

And behind the tide of praise, is "Speed and Excitement. Love 4" box office $25.46 million on the opening day, Universal Pictures predicted $50 million opening weekend box office, no, maybe $60 million is the new starting point.

Sure enough, it was a bigger surprise, for such a result, both Universal Pictures and Summit Entertainment were excited, Universal Pictures finally raised their eyebrows, they have not had such excellent box office results for a long time, and more importantly, in "Fast and Furious. After "Love" was reborn, as long as it remained stable, the next few movies would become the pillars of Universal Pictures that year, and Summit Entertainment was excited that it seemed to have dug a super gold mine with huge potential.

Lin Yuquan naturally knows what the NFL is, the National Football League, is the first of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, the world's largest professional American football league, and the most commercially valuable sports league in the world.

It was precisely because of his understanding that Lin Yuquan became more and more puzzled: "Chris, don't sell it, what kind of big deal is it?"

"Boss, you wouldn't have guessed it, here's the way it is......" Chris. Anderson immediately said that under his narration, Lin Yuquan also knew about the so-called big event.

"Yes, boss, the major film companies are interested in putting Michael. Oher's story is brought to the big screen. "Chris. Anderson Road.

"In that case, then what else is there to consider, let's join the snatching camp and do our best to get the adaptation rights."
