The box office table for Harry Potter was expected by everyone, with the BOM calling it "Harry's cup overflowing with cash", and that's just the way it is, the series is too profitable.

According to Warner Bros. Screening, 60% of the audience is female, and 42% of the audience was 17 or younger at the beginning of the series, which is the first of the four installments in the series to be rated PG-13.

"It's a bit of a lag compared to the age of the novel's readers. Warner Bros. Head of Publications Dan Fellman is pleased, "It's just a natural development. We're all very loyal to the series adaptations, and the audience is constantly expanding. The release of the Half-Blood Prince novel in July this year also boosted the box office of "Goblet of Fire".

"Having a new book and a new movie in the same year is a winning combination. Jeff Desting, executive vice president and general manager of sales at Warner Bros. said.

The Goblet of Fire was overflowing with burning cash, and this week's other new film, "Walking with the Song," was no worse, with Fox's head of distribution, Bruce Snyder, in the words of "It's as good as Waco and Lubock is like it's doing in New York and Los Angeles." ”

Waco and Lubbock are both small cities in Texas, and he refers to the fact that the film takes all in both large and small cities. In the final survey, 57% of the audience were male, and 62% of the audience was over 25 years old, so another big reason why it is good is that it does not conflict much with "Goblet of Fire".

BOM is called "VIY wins huge prizes", and the North American market alone has already made huge gains!

DreamWorks' head of distribution, Terry Price, can finally speak arrogantly: "You've never seen such a genius, and you'll probably never see it again." We have all seen that this crazy and sweet family film is suitable for watching from 5 to 80 years old, and 81 years old is more exciting. ”

The ratio of male to female viewers is almost half and half, 51% female and 49% male, and the age distribution is also very even, with 42% of teenagers preferring it and 58% of adults preferring it.

In this week's market, it's a heresy!

Two weeks 1. 1.1 billion!

All investors are making a lot of money, and everyone who shares the net profit can get it, Ye Wei, this kid is really not a gold mine, it turned out to be a diamond mine!

No one said 1 again. The 300 million box office declaration is stupid, it is long gone, and what it says is "he is a little conservative".

Ye Wei's personal North American box office total has reached a terrifying 292,155,713, and if compared with the HP trio, it seems that there is even a 3. The 1.7 billion "Philosopher's Stone" can't be compared, but his signature is the director. He has made it to the top 150 of the directors' list, both in history and today, the youngest one, and no one else under the age of 20.

"A 17-year-old creator has such box office capabilities. This is not something that can be said clearly by Amazing, many people have not yet realized the change, Ye Wei is now the most popular and powerful young director in Hollywood, and one of the most powerful young stars. Amy Barnett, editor-in-chief of Teen-People, said.

For a variety of reasons, he is still despised a lot, but the business game is still dominated by money.

"There is no creator of the same age who can compare with him, and it makes no sense to talk about young actors with him. Salon's pop culture critic Mary Williams put it more clearly, "If you change another actor to star in Harry Potter, you can have Daniel Radcliffe's achievements." They are the covers of popular movie products. ”

She sighed: "Ye Wei is a completely different thing, he can direct, produce, and write screenplays, he is a producer of popular film products." Give this guy a Super 8 and he'll be able to put out a cover. He's not a star student in a magic school, he's a king of the magic kingdom. ”

The 19-year-old Olsen sisters, who are popular enough to be geniuses, have acted in countless TV series, TV movies and video tape movies since they were children, and began to be a producer at the age of 13 ("Sisters of Paris"), and after more than a dozen works in a few years, they became a producer for the first time at the age of 17 and produced the movie "New York Moment" (30 million production fees, mainly funded by Warner Bros.).

Last year, "New York Moment" was released when the two were 17 years and 11 months old, which was the first time in 10 years that the twin child stars landed on the big screen, and it was also a battle for them to start the image of a girl, which was preceded by 1995's "Good Things Come in Pairs" (19.47 million box office). As a result, this second screen film only had a dismal 21.28 million global box office......

The two were devastated, stopped playing, focused on fashion and clothing, and took a break indefinitely.

The kind of movie that no one can say well.

Ye Wei, 17 years and 9 months, has 2 low-budget movies for three years. 9.2 billion, two weekly box office champions, impacting the awards season.

"He played everybody, and for a while, he was playing (Possum). Toro Bridge, a market commentator at The-numbers.com, also lamented, "Like the use of Yunik Kuller's name to issue TET, it has proven to be very effective, and mystery is one of the reasons for the success of TET." VIY always teases people's nerves, but every time, he doesn't mess up. Now don't pretend to be dead, that's all. ”

"The Hollywood Reporter" pays more attention to Ye Wei's new project dynamics, whether it is TLB competing with Peter Jackson, whether it is an independent film or taking over the project, which is coveted by filmmakers across the industry. It is reported that DreamWorks is the closest contender, but there are also big studios in contact.

"If you have profitability, you can have personality, and the filmmakers only have love for Ye Wei now, the question is just who he will choose. ”

LMS box office and word-of-mouth go hand in hand, and film critic Irving Greyman's crusade this week reveals that his status is getting higher and higher during the awards season.

Discerning people in the industry can also see that the public relations promotion of LMS is very powerful, and the public effect brought by the high box office is even more catalyzed by this qiΔ“.

"She's a very quirky girl, the type of girl you wouldn't dare take home to your mother.

She'll never let your mind relax, once you take you out shopping, oh girl. ”

In 3,362 (-125) North American theaters, some screening halls suddenly sounded energetic funk singing, and the audience in front of the screen suddenly boiled!

"Oh!" there will be a few audience members who will frown in amazement like Ms. Jenkins, but many more will be laughing and chanting!

At the exit of some screening halls, the audience was receiving a questionnaire survey, and a large circle of people gathered around, and a young fat man was excitedly saying to the investigator: "I wrote this sentence, you must help me tell VIY, You-are-a-motherfu*cker-douchebag, a-thorough-bastard-genius!!"

The investigators were stunned, "I'll try my best." Several parents were also stunned, hurriedly handed in the questionnaire, and pulled the smiling child away.

Suddenly, another excited girl audience member shouted with a questionnaire: "Because who is coming to see? Of course it's Ye Wei, my God, He-lay-me-out!"

One of her companions, the girl, laughed and sang happily, "Super freak, super freak!"

......

Switzerland, a residential area on a hillside on the shore of Lake Geneva, with blue sky and white clouds, and the sun shines on the front lawn.

"Matthew, follow me, Littleβ€”"

"Ahh

β€œLi――ttle――”

Lily, who was sitting on the blanket, looked at the baby in the baby chair and taught him to speak, "Miss - Sunshine - "

The baby turns his head to look away and raises his fist to bite.

"Don't be a jerk. Lily picked up a baby rattle ball next to her, shook it, successfully attracted the baby's attention, she smiled: "Learn to give it to you, read it to me, Sunshine, I like this word, it makes people feel very warm." Sun, Shine, the sun is shining, it is Sunshine. There is a song called "You-Are-My-Sunshine...... But it's not sunny at all, do you want to hear it? I can sing it...... Don't look at me like that, okay okay, I sang ......"
