This represents a $1 billion box office for "Batman 2."

Since the beginning of July, "Batman 2" has now been released around the world, and the fast one has been released for nearly two months, and the late one has just been released.

Among them, it was released in North America for 47 days and currently grossed $303.6 million.

In the mainland, it has been released for just one month.

The original space-time film was not allowed to enter the mainland due to some censorship reasons.

This time, there is a safe road, and many things are very flexible.

At present, the box office of the film in the mainland has exceeded 160 million yuan.

It's not high, because the movie hit the Olympics two weeks after its release, and the popularity can't be suppressed at all.

But that's pretty good.

In North America and around the world, Lu Ping'an was worried that because of the Olympics, Lu Ping'an himself was boycotted, so that the boycott of the film did not happen at all.

At present, the total global box office of the movie has reached 947.7 million US dollars, which is not actually more than 1 billion.

But according to this trend, the North American media predicts that there is no suspense for the film to exceed $1 billion, and even if there is, it will surpass it in a few days, and then what height it will eventually reach.

At present, the movie is actually coming to the end of its release.

Media forecasts will be completely surpassed by late September.

In the third month of the movie released in North America, that is, in early October, the global box office finally exceeded 1 billion.

became the first superhero movie in film history to break 1 billion.

Lu Ping'an estimated that this time it would be earlier.

First, the movie was released more than a week earlier than the original time and space.

Coupled with the blessing of Lu Ping'an's personal fame, as well as the release of one more mainland release, not only will the box office break through 1 billion earlier, but the final box office is also likely to break 1.1 billion.

And the box office of the movie is expected to exceed $1 billion.

If it were in normal times, Lu Ping'an would once again be praised by the mainland media.

There are only a few movies in the world that have grossed more than $1 billion.

"Titanic" in 97 2.1875 billion

Star Wars Episode 1 in '99 1.027 billion

"The Lord of the Rings 3" in 03 1.12 billion

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in 06 1.06 billion.

Nope.

If "Batman 2 The Dark Knight" really exceeds 1 billion, it goes without saying that it will be a bonus to Lu Ping'an.

But now there is no news about this in the country.

It's understandable, because now there are only three major events in the country.

Olympics, Olympics, Olympics.

It will take a few days for the Olympic heat to gradually dissipate, and the heat about Lu Ping'an will return.

Of course, it's certainly not the same abroad.

Like now.

Watzberg said, "You have to be ready for these two days. ”

As he spoke, Watzberg pulled out the notice.

Good guys, there will be 21 tomorrow alone, but fortunately, they are all together, and the summit is arranged.

"That's all the superstars at All-Star Weekend, enjoy, Lu!"

Watzberg toasted.

Lu Ping'an was a little speechless and asked Watts, "Didn't you say that there are few?" ”

Watzberg shrugged: "We all know you're coming, of course everyone won't let you go." ”

"I shouldn't have come!"

Lu Ping'an smiled, he thought he was on vacation, but it turned out to be like this.

But he took it anyway.

Isn't that what I asked for when I first played "Batman"?

Besides, how tired can this be more tiring than the Olympics?

So take it, grit your teeth and pass.

Everyone then raised their glasses in unison to congratulate Lu Ping'an in advance on becoming the world's fifth billion-dollar director.

Returning to Lao Mei's villa that night, Yu Feihong was a little disappointed when he heard that Lu Ping'an's itinerary was so intensive, but he was more happy for Lu Ping'an.

Of course, carnal pleasure can cover it all.

Lu Ping'an, who had been holding back for a long time, had already endured a lot for Yan Danchen last night.

But tonight's firepower has not abated in the slightest.

Lu Ping'an didn't forget to collect it, because he still has to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning, and this activity requires physical strength, so he can't be too indulgent.

In the next two days, Lu Ping'an was still busy.

All kinds of interviews, all kinds of photos.

As the director of Batman, he is also the spokesperson of several brands.

Add to that the creators of the BJ Olympic Opening Ceremony.

This time he can be regarded as the eyes of the public.

It's just that he doesn't say much about the Olympics, because the Olympic summary meeting has not yet been held, and as a member of the director team, he can't talk nonsense when he goes out.

Therefore, in the past two days, Lu Ping'an has his own people to follow and leave a record of the trip.

What prevents foreign media from doing things.

In addition to walking the notice.

On the evening of the next day, Lu Ping'an also participated in the celebration reception held by Warner for Lu Ping'an.

This time, "Batman 2" has a 40% share, and it can be said that they are not much different from the income they get from the summit.

It is precisely because they are the main stakeholders that Warner did its best to promote the release of the film and control negative news.

Otherwise, "Batman 2" really can't win such a high box office if it just relies on the summit and other distribution companies to do it.

During the reception, Warner, of course, also mentioned when "Batman 3" will be made.

At this time, the two sides have long since lost many of the dirt at the beginning.

So it's also calm to talk about.

Of course, this project will definitely not be delayed for too long, on the one hand, the copyright will expire in three years, and on the other hand, the current president of Warner will retire in a few years.

So it has to be done within this time, so it can be turned on in 10 years at the latest.

At the reception, Lu Ping'an also learned another thing.

That's the result of Marvel's "Captain America".

"Captain America" was released two weeks later than "Batman 2", with a cost of 150 million, the current global box office is 190 million, and the final global box office has a certain probability of reaching 250 million.

Although combined with the profits of the disc and other markets, the movie will definitely make money in the end.

However, it is necessary to take into account factors such as the payment cycle and confidence.

Especially the latter, "Captain America 1" failed to completely open up the market, and Marvel's movie road is undoubtedly not a success.

The president of Warner lamented that Marvel's next situation is not good.

It's a loan to make a movie, and the movie is just not in arrears, with interest, waiting for the repayment cycle.

It's weird.

In fact, after the success of Marvel in the original time and space "Iron Man 1", there was also a considerable shortage of funds, and the financial crisis made the situation even worse.

Of course, Marvel's plans were also big at that time, and the success of "Iron Man 1" made them completely set up a plan to open the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So for better development, Marvel was acquired by Disney.

Backed by a powerful company, it is cool to fight the rich battle, and then opened the era of movies belonging to Marvel.

In this regard, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but think.

If your next "Iron Man 1" is successful, will it be okay to exchange it for Marvel shares?

"Iron Man" returned to Marvel, and Lu Ping'an obtained Marvel shares.

After that, sit back and wait for the Disney acquisition, and then wait for the arrival of the Marvel Cinematic Universe era.

If you really could, it would be a lot easier than running the Iron Man series alone.

After all, if there is no other IP authorization, it is difficult to say whether "Iron Man" can become a trilogy series.

It is also for this reason that earlier Lu Ping An only focused on the first and second parts of this series.

And even if it's successful.

Just like Batman now.

I have gained a lot, but Warner has gained even more.

After that, there was very little to be gained.

So do you want to do it?

Lu Ping'an felt that he could let people contact him first.
