Chapter 847: Farewell
Unlike the other side of the Pacific, where the commercial film market is still in its early stages, the surging tsunami caused by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is already raging everywhere in movie theaters in North America.
Since 2000, some theaters in North America have tried to show some 3D movies, which has gradually increased the number of 3D cinemas in North America. And several blockbusters shot by Charlotte in recent years have played a role in fueling the fire.
Especially with the help of the combination of magic effects and modern technology, "Inception", which realizes the 3D effect of part of the fruit eye, has made all theater companies see the potential of this kind of movie.
For this reason, in the past year or so, even the number of IMAX large screens has increased a bit in North America.
And "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is blessed in this regard-
Because of the influence of "Inception", many moviegoers who often watch movies, after watching the trailer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", directly booked tickets for the nearby cinema with a large IMAX screen.
- This makes the online reservation amount of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" reach an exaggerated 50 million US dollars.
And this movie did not disappoint them either -
"The battle at the end of the movie alone is worth the ticket price!"
In front of an IMAX movie theater near Burbank, Howard said excitedly to Rajesh as he walked,
"Especially when the "Flying Dutchman" broke through the water at the end, and together with the "Black Pearl", it was simply handsome!"
"yes!"
Rajesh nodded as well,
"However, this should be the last part of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, right?
"You say that......"
Howard sniffed,
"It seems to be a bit ......"
"Really?"
Rajesh continued,
"Especially at the end of the movie, when Captain Jack sails into the distance in a small boat, there is a feeling that the story of a pirate is saying goodbye to us. β
"It felt like an unforgettable time in my life had passed. β
Howard also understood what his Indian friend meant,
"I wonder if those people also had this feeling of reluctance when they saw the end of the Star Wars series?"
"There will definitely be. That's not what the poem saysβ"
Rajesh rarely lost the cheap expression on his face and became a little literary,
"I believe that all things can be heard,
Even foreseeing separation, meeting another self,
And some moments can't be grasped,
Let the east and west go, the dead will not return......"
"Rabindranath Tagore!?"
"Yes. β
Rajesh nodded,
"His "Life is Like a Summer Flower", have you read this poem?"
"Not really. β
Howard shook his head,
"It's just that there is only one Indian poet I know, Rabindranath Tagore. β
β......β
After choking on his friend's shamelessness, Rajesh sighed,
"In any case, this "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy series has been with us for more than four years, and it is normal for us to be a little sad at the end of this moment. β
"You're right!"
Howard nodded,
"Although it is not as good as those series that span ten years and eight years, in recent years, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is indeed our favorite fantasy movie!"
"yes, even that Sheldon guy bought himself a pirate hat......"
"So, after we watched this movie, we actually said goodbye to a period of our own life, didn't we?"
There was also a slight sadness in Howard's words, however, Rajesh showed a weird smile at this moment,
"You're right, but don't you think it's okay to say goodbye to this kind of thing and come a few more times?"
"That's right!"
Howard clasped his hands together and slapped his chin,
"Let's go and say goodbye to Captain Jack, Will Turner, and Miss Elizabeth one more time!"
"Great idea!"
Rajesh nodded,
"By the way, do you want to call Leonard and Sheldon?"
"They!?"
Howard thought for a moment,
Howard took Penny to watch a movie with us, but he didn't know what triggered Penny's tears in the movie, so he took Penny to a nearby hotel to comfort her as soon as the movie ended. β
β...... It's going to be comforting for the night, right?"
"Well, it will comfort the night. β
Howard raised his eyebrows, but his tone became a little weak,
"Of course, it depends on Leonard's physicality. β
"βthen it must be a night of comfort!"
After these words were spoken, Rajesh, who was also a little weak, was a little energetic,
"What about Sheldon?"
β...... Let's hurry up and buy tickets! Seeing that the atmosphere is so lively, maybe we won't be able to buy tickets later!"
"You're right!"
So, the two hurried to the ticket office of the movie theater, as if they had forgotten something, and some didn't seem to have forgotten......
Of course, realizing that this movie is a goodbye to the "pirates", and not only Howard them.
In fact, many people who have experienced "Pirates of the Caribbean" 1 and 2 and liked this group of strange pirates have participated in the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" driven by their feelings.
And this feeling is reflected in the box office of the movie, what broke 100 million in two days, the North American box office champion or something, it is very common.
Even, because the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was held on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, it can even be said that it was synchronized globally, which led to the visual "tsunami" brought by "Pirates of the Caribbean" sweeping the world at once-
Take the other side of the Pacific Ocean as an example, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" broke many domestic box office records previously held by "Titanic" at once, and quickly became a hot movie.
And on the islands and peninsulas that are "separated by water", pirates are also wreaking havoc.
Especially in the island country, which has always been relatively alternative at the box office, relying on various animated theatrical versions and animated live-action movies to win the world, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has also achieved a crushing effect.
As for traditions such as Europe, there is a pirate tradition, let alone a place where there is no cultural barrier to the acceptance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3......
And all of this finally converged in Disney's Los Angeles headquarters -
"Look at the meaning, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" may be able to become a movie that can hit the global box office record of "Titanic" after "Inception"!"
Robert Iger, who has secured the first place in Disney, excitedly held up the box office analysis report in his hand and said to Philip Bierman,
"This situation shows that there is still a lot of potential for the series to continue to be explored, and I think the plan for the fourth part can already be launched!"
However, director Charlotte has no plans to continue directing the series. β
As Iger's loyal subordinate, Philip Bierman directly pointed out the biggest problem at the moment,
"Although we have reached an agreement with the Ghost Party studio about the copyright planning for the rest of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and have accepted the fact that Charlotte is no longer directing - but at the moment, the main factor in the success of this series, or the success it has reached to this extent, may be Charlotte, without him......"
"yes!"
Thinking of this most troublesome thing, Robert Iger couldn't help but have a headache......
