Since the opening blockbuster "Avatar" swept the $2 billion box office worldwide, it seems to be a coincidence, and a large number of sci-fi movies have been released in 2010.

Moreover, they are all IMAX giant screen versions.

You know, as recently as 2009, there were only two or three hundred movie theaters with IMAX screens in North America.

Eighty percent of the North American box office of "Avatar" comes from ordinary theaters, and 9.5% of the overseas box office is contributed by ordinary theaters.

However, in just three or four months, the number of IMAX screens in North America has doubled from more than 300 to more than 600, and it continues to grow at a rate of 100 each.

When the movie "Iron Man 2" was released, more than 400 IMAX screens were released simultaneously in North America.

However, the IMAX 2D version of "Iron Man 2" is converted from the ordinary 2D version, which is converted from the later stage of Avatar, and the visual effects must not be compared with the original IMAX, let alone the IMAX 3D version of the movie.

However, the release of "Iron Man 2" is just one of this year's sci-fi frenzy.

The following July, Inception, shot with native IMAX 2D cameras, will be released.

In another month, the IMAX 3D movie "Interstellar" directed by Wu Yuan will also be released in August.

Coupled with the world's first IMAX 3D movie "Avatar" at the beginning of the year, there are 4 Hollywood sci-fi movie masterpieces released this year, and all of them have IMAX 2D or 3D versions of the movie.

A year ago, IMAX movies, which were quite unpopular and difficult to see, suddenly ushered in a big explosion this year.

And this is all thanks to Cameron's "Avatar" that took ten years to come up with.

It is foreseeable that in the next few months, the keywords of 3D movies, movie special effects, and IMAX will be combined with the words "science fiction movies" to set off a wave of heated discussions on the Internet around the world!

The real IMAX is coming.

2010 will be the first year of IMAX 3D movies in the world, and Wu Yuan will also play a vital role in promoting it!

June 24, 2010.

Chile to Los Angeles flights.

Wu Yuan, who was enduring the boring flight flight, was bored looking at the emails downloaded offline on the computer.

This is a list of movies and schedules that John sent to Wu Yuan and have been scheduled for the next few months of this year.

"Hey, the competition in Hollywood this year is really fierce." Looking at this long schedule, Wu Yuan said with some melancholy.

Liu Yifei, who was sleeping in a daze and staring on his shoulder, was awakened by his words and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Wu Yuan pointed to the computer screen and said with a smile: "I'm watching this year's North American movie schedule." ”

Liu Yifei rubbed her eyes, came up curiously, and looked at it together.

At the top of the email, the first thing that stands out is a movie called "Inception".

Director: Christopher Nolan

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard

Screening date: July 16

"What is the most adaptable parasite? Thought! ”

"Ideas can build a city, change the world, and even rewrite the laws of physics."

"In the contemporary world, humans have invented a new technology that allows them to enter the minds, minds, or dreams of others by means of injections, through which they can enter other people's dreams to steal information, or implant information."

“……”

After reading the introduction of this movie, Liu Yifei asked curiously: "This is the new film directed by Nolan, what the outside media said, your biggest competitor?" ”

"Competitors can't talk about it." Wu Yuan shook his head: "That's all the paparazzi deliberately arching the fire in order to win attention." ”

"I have a month difference in schedule with him, which is barely a front and back file, and it has not yet reached the level of competition."

"But this movie is indeed a very competitive movie, and I don't want to be at the same time as him, so I deliberately avoided the selection."

"Hmm." Liu Yifei thought about it and said curiously: "Is it very profitable?" ”

She doesn't know much about Nolan, the director, she has also watched "Batman: The Dark Knight", and knows that this movie is the most in-depth in superhero movies, and the box office performance is also great.

But compared with his boyfriend, it seems that Nolan can't compare with him from the box office to the awards.

"After "The Dark Knight", Nolan has the capital and confidence to try something more stylized and self-contained."

Wu Yuan patiently explained: "Warner has invested $175 million in his "contemporary action sci-fi film that takes place in the structure of consciousness", and its level of trust can be seen. ”

In addition to filming in Canada, Nolan also led the crew to Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Paris, and Tangier, Morocco, but the content of the film remained mysterious.

"What's more, the film is going to be a complete innovation, and it's not accurate to define it as a science fiction film, it doesn't belong to any one genre, and it's a mix of different elements."

"Coupled with the joining of Leonardo and Marion Cotillard, two powerful actors, this movie will definitely become one of the most surprising movies of this year."

As a descendant, Wu Yuan couldn't be more aware of Nolan's talent.

Although it is not as exaggerated as those Nolan fans and Nolan boasted in later generations, Nolan is indeed one of the best directors in Hollywood with both business and art in the 15 years from 2010 to 2025.

Especially after 2020, when Hollywood was properly kidnapped by Masaji, Nolan is one of the few directors who can continue to make movies with obvious self-style without being affected by this trend.

This is even more rare.

"It's not just Nolan, there are still a lot of blockbusters in Hollywood this year."

""Resident Evil 4: Afterlife" released on August 6, "Agent Sauter" on July 23, and "The Expendables" on August 20, these movies are the real competitors of "Interstellar".

"The "Resident Evil" series has the influence of the previous work, "Agent Sauter" is Angelina Jolie's main beam, and "The Expendables" is a collection of Stallone, Mickey Rock, Duff Lange and other well-known old tough guys in Hollywood."

"Even Stallone's former rival Arnold Schwarzenegger joined in the cameo in this film, and the memories of the 80s are full of killing."

"Sandwiched between these movies, our "Interstellar" is scheduled for August 12th, and this is really a bloody battle."

Between the words, Wu Yuan inevitably revealed a little worry.

He is very confident in "Interstellar", but after all, the time when this movie was released in this life is completely different from the original time and space.

His expectation for this movie is to become an IMAX 3D blockbuster like "Avatar" that has swept the world!

In the sandwich between "Resident Evil" and "The Expendables", can this expectation be realized?

Wu Yuan, the international director, was also a little apprehensive. (End of chapter)
