""100,000 Urgent"? Yes, I just watched this movie. ”

In front of the theater, Shearer was being interviewed by reporters, and he had mixed feelings about the film he had just seen, "In my opinion, this is a very interesting film, and the final gunfight scene and reunion are very well done, but the rhythm is a problem." ”

He paused slightly, as if to organize the language, "If '100,000 Urgents' were the work of another director, I would say that he made a very successful film, but for a director of Duke's level, '100,000 Urgents' is a bit mediocre." ”

"In short, in my own opinion, "One Hundred Thousand Urgent" is the most mediocre of Duke's works."

After thinking about it, Shearer said, "We are all looking forward to the second part of "The Matrix", and movies like "100,000 Urgent" really can't satisfy us. ”

The words of this die-hard fan of "The Matrix" undoubtedly represent the voice of many fans, "100,000 Urgent" is not bad, and even very far from bad reviews, but compared with the appetite of Duke's die-hard supporters who have been inflated by "The Matrix", it is really difficult to talk about it too well.

"The highlights of "100,000 Urgent" are very outstanding - wonderful gunfights, and the shortcomings are also obvious - the slow pace, the film did not disappoint, but it did not bring us many surprises like "The Matrix", and from the scale of investment to the production time, this is like a film that Duke did not spend much energy on."

On Duke's personal website, this message from a fan was pushed to the top by countless people's replies, which undoubtedly represents the voice of many people.

However, maybe there are no too good films released in this off-season, or maybe it is really outstanding, although the film does not show a hot trend, there is no shortage of audiences.

It's just compared to the popular summer films. The attendance rate and box office acquisition speed of "100,000 Urgent" are a bit flat.

After earning $4.21 million on Friday's first day, the film ushered in a brief peak of attendance on the following Saturday, with a single-day box office increase of 27 percent and a gain of $5.34 million.

On Sunday, "One Hundred Thousand Urgent" could not escape the normal market rules. The box office fell 21 percent, with a single day of $4.41 million.

"I got $13.96 million in the first three days of the weekend, and the box office of a single theater was $6,345."

Paramount Films, Michael? Ovitz and Martin? Bob sitting in Shelly? Next to Lansing, the former said to the CEO of Paramount Pictures, "In this off-season, such a box office can be considered a success for other directors, but this is Duke? Rosenberg's work, such a result can only be said to be very average. Shelley. No one succeeds forever, and no one fails forever. ”

Just like in the early days at CAA, Martin? Bob and Ovitz cooperated tacitly, and then answered, "The professional score of "100,000 Urgent" is only 5.2 points, and the audience's praise rate has dropped to 75%. Rosenberg is a failure, "100,000 Urgent" has set new lows in his directorial career! ”

"Shelly. You must be well aware that every director has peaks and valleys of creation. Even great as Steven? Spielberg is no exception. ”

Looking at Shelly next to her? Lansing, Michael? Ovitz was still full of confidence, "Obviously, Duke? Rosenberg is entering a low point, I ...... Oh, no. A lot of professionals in the industry, including Roger? Albert thinks that Duke's next few films are likely to continue to decline. ”

Shelley? Lan Sin's brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with thought. But he didn't take the words of these two brokerage giants from artist management companies.

That's right, after leaving the CAA, after a period of thinking, Martin? Bob became Michael again? Ovitz's right-hand man.

"So, Shelly, the conditions you put on us are a huge risk." Michael? Ovitz continued his persuasive work, which would have lasted for a long time, "You insisted on inviting Duke? Rosenberg was willing to hand over Star Trek: Enterprise to me to pack and ......"

Shelley? Lansing nodded insistently, the "Star Trek" series is undoubtedly Paramount Pictures' signature series, but the last "Star Trek: First Strike", even if all the revenue in the past few years is counted, it is only barely recovering the cost, and the audience's reputation is a mess, Paramount Pictures naturally wants to save this series, not completely rot.

Therefore, their original plan would rather wait for Duke to talk about it when he has a schedule, rather than hand it over to others at will.

But Michael? Ovitz is extremely well-informed, Shelly? Lansing didn't know how he got the information, and he had been tireless in front of Paramount Pictures executives lately.

"Shelly, if you leave Star Trek: Enterprise to me, I will re-select the right actors and directors and make every effort to build a new team." Michael? Ovitz also knows Shelly? Lansing has no problem with his head, he will not make a decision immediately, but will try his best to strengthen the weight of his own side of the word, "I can also sign a new sharing agreement with Paramount Pictures, if the profitability of Star Trek: Enterprise does not meet Paramount's expected bottom line, the artist management company will not have any right to take any revenue share." ”

Michael? Ovitz doesn't have an aura of retardation, Shelly? Lansing is also a qualified studio executive, so she said, "Michael, I'll think about it." ”

Speaking of which, Michael? Ovitz knew that today could only end here, with Martin? Bob and Shelly respectively? After Lansing shook hands and said goodbye, he walked out of Paramount Pictures.

"Don't be in a hurry, Martin."

Get in the car, Michael? Ovitz turned his head and said, "The trend of "100,000 Urgent" will not be a big hit, which will definitely affect the original intention of Paramount Pictures. ”

"Hmm...... "Martin?" Bob thought for a moment and said, "I'm more worried about Walt Disney than Paramount Pictures. Iger intended to hand over that big World War II project to William Morris. ”

"They're not looking at William Morris, they're looking at Michael? Seashell. ”

Make a driving gesture to the driver, Michael? Ovitz said, "Robert? Which director does Iger admire the most? Rosenberg, but they couldn't please Duke, all opted for the little explosion maniac. ”

"What do you mean......"

"It's simple...... Michael? Ovitz laughed. "I've reached out to Michael? Bei, a qiē have to talk. ”

"100,000 Urgent" was $13.96 million in the opening weekend and $6,345 at the box office in a single theater, although it was not eye-catching, but in this period of general market response, it was also an unattainable number for other films released in the same period.

Among them, the only film that can be compared with "100,000 Urgent". Only Miramax's "My Fair Cuties", which was released the weekend before the Oscars, is just that this youth comedy has been in theaters for three weekends, and the box office that weekend was only $5.28 million.

So, by Monday, the number of North American theaters of "100,000 Urgent" expanded to 2,652, but the weekday box office still showed a downward trend, getting $4.01 million on Monday, and rebounding slightly on Tuesday, earning $4.15 million. It slipped to $4.02 million on Wednesday and finally slipped below $4 million on Thursday, closing at $3.98 million.

When the film was released in North America for a full week, the North American box office reached a total of $30.14 million.

In the second weekend, "100,000 Urgent" still has no heavyweight competitors, and it is also the best box office of all the films released in the same schedule.

"One Hundred Thousand Urgent" in the next three days. The number of theaters has increased from 2,652 to 2,892, due to the significant increase in the scale of screenings compared to the opening weekend. The next weekend box office barely fell, ending the following weekend with $13.56 million.

Ten days after its release, "100,000 Urgent" reported $43.7 million in North America.

The production cost of the film totaled $10 million, and the publicity cost was only $6 million, and it took ten days to actually pay for itself.

Although this film has not exploded. But it is not a failed work, although the audience's word-of-mouth has slipped to 73% of the praise, but the box office trend is still strong.

From a certain distance, it can even be said to be a more eye-catching film in the spring.

Over the next four working days, the film received a total of $11.25 million. Due to the overall lack of schedule, the number of theaters in North America increased to 2,966 in the third weekend of "100,000 Urgent".

Now there is no spring file at all, and it is not difficult to find that in the past Hollywood film history, there are very few films that can squeeze into the top ten or even the top fifteen in North America in the past ten years, and they premiered in March and April.

This is also the main reason why Duke and Warner Bros. chose this schedule for this relatively uncommercially competitive film.

In the third weekend, the overall box office trend of the film finally showed a clear downward trend, and it received $10.35 million in three days.

Since the fourth week, North America has approached the summer season, and most of the audience's eyes have been attracted to the super commercial blockbuster zuò, and the box office decline of "100,000 Urgent" has become more obvious, with only $7.85 million in four working days.

So far, the North American box office of "100,000 Urgent" has accumulated 73.15 million US dollars.

Among them, the business appeal that Duke has built up over the years must have played a lot of roles.

This result was enough for Duke and Warner Bros. to make a big profit, and the film would be released overseas later, but by the end of the week, the number of theaters for "100,000 Urgent" dropped sharply, because the first weekend of May, the first weekend of the summer season, had arrived, and there were many more commercial films about to be released.

Among them, the most famous one is called "Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace"!

After many years of absence, in the anticipation of countless Star Wars fans, George? Lucas's Star Wars franchise has finally embarked on a new journey.

Duke also accepted the invitation and deliberately returned to New York to attend the premiere with his mother. (To be continued......)
