Chapter 435

Time is fleeting~

In the twinkling of an eye, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone" was released in North America on December 15, 2000.

There were more than 2700 movie theaters, ranking the fourth in the number of films in the United States on that day.

On the same day, the film with the largest number of films arranged and played was the film "men 100 percent" released in the same period. With its production and distribution company, Paramount Pictures, it has won more than 3300 open picture theaters;

It is about 100 less than the estimated number of 3400 picture theaters.

But what about it?

No.1 in film layout, who else?!

The second largest number of films on the same day was home man, which was released three days ago by Universal Pictures. At present, the cumulative box office is 15 million US dollars, and there are 2850 cinemas on the same day.

No. 3 in film layout is the movie "vertical limit", released on the 8th of this month by Sony Columbia, with a total box office of US $30 million and 2760 theaters on that day.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, which costs $125 million to produce and $100 million to publicize, only ranked fourth in the number of films on that day.

Not the Wald film industry suck up, but the strength of the opponent is too strong.

Man, the top three companies in the day's film production are paramount pictures, Universal Pictures and Sony Columbia. Which one is not Hollywood's top six?

Excluding "man 100%" which ranked the top in film production, the remaining "home man" and "vertical limit", the film production is no higher than that of "Harry Potter" by Wald pictures. Even, judging from the box office potential of the film, Zhuke is confident that he will complete the two films of "home man" and "vertical limit".

Meanwhile, Paramount's man 100% is definitely not to be underestimated.

"Although I don't remember the final box office data of the film, I still vaguely remember that in the original time and space, it was the top 5 in the box office list of North America this year."

"In other words, its North American box office results will not be less than $160 million."

It occurred to Zhuke.

But... Is juke afraid?

Of course not!

Man, this is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone! Moreover, the film has been proved in the British film market, proving that it has the potential to be a big hit!

Hard bar, Zhuke does not advise!

.......

"No? Then compete with hard power! "

Lei Shidong said with a smile: "it's just a Harry Potter movie. Even if it can win the annual box office champion in the UK, it doesn't mean much? Don't forget, this is America! And we are paramount

In his words, Lei Shidong is full of domineering.

Lei Shidong, now in his 70s, is always full of energy.

Let alone trying to make a movie. In his rich life experience, he went bankrupt three times and had nothing. However, he was never discouraged. He started a new business at the age of 50 and worked hard to make such a fortune. He didn't know what fear was.

"Yes, boss." All of them nodded.

At the same time, Sherry Lansing, President of Paramount Pictures, is also fearless.

What is it that makes her one of the top six masters of Hollywood as a woman?

——Must be a strong heart, far more than most men's heart!

"Mel, do you have any confidence in your movies?" Shirley Lansing turns her eyes to a man sitting on the sofa.

"Of course! I never lack confidence The man replied.

His name is Mel Gibson, the current Hollywood actor, is one of the few men who can shoulder the box office alone. At the same time, he is also the hero of the movie "man 100%".

The movie "men are 100 percent" has another name, which is for "who knows women's heart".

Well, maybe the translation of "who knows the heart of a woman" is more familiar to the audience in Asia.

The film is mainly about the hero Nick (Mel Gibson) is the manager of an advertising company in Chicago. He thinks that he has unlimited charm in front of women and is deeply loved by women, but the bossy female boss Darcy (played by Helen Hunt) makes him hard to resist.

All of a sudden, one day, he woke up to a special function.

Read the heart!

Nick was able to see through women's thoughts with ease, so a wonderful story happened.

In the original time and space, the film has achieved $182 million in North America and $370 million in the world, breaking the box office record of Hollywood comedy and love movies.

Paramount, the production company, made a lot of money.

The most important thing is the right to remake the film, which has been bought by 27 countries and regions around the world.

The Chinese version of men 100% is starred by Andy Lau and Gong Li, and has also achieved good box office results.

There is no doubt that Paramount's 100% men is one of the biggest competitors of Wald's Harry Potter, which was released on December 15.

What's more, there were 3300 cinemas for men's 100%, ranking first in the number of films on that day.

........

Disney group.

"Harry Potter movies? I know, it's a good movie, but what about it? "

Michael Eisner, the chairman of Disney, who is known as "Disney tyrant", sneered: "there are more excellent movies in Hollywood every year, but not all of them can get high box office!"

In recent years, Michael Eisner has been busy with Disney's internal struggle and made a lot of fatuous and almost absurd wrong decisions, but Disney's stock price is still rising.

He has been in Hollywood for decades and has rich experience in struggle.

"As long as we have a good plan, we can make a good movie of our opponent."

"Zucker Wald?"

"Ha ha, since my previous wrong decision has offended him, I will offend him to the end and press Harry Potter to death directly ~"

On December 15, in addition to "Harry Potter" and "100% men", Disney also had a new movie released.

The king is an animated movie!

It took Disney animation three years to build, and more than 300 staff participated in the whole process. The production cost alone is as high as 100 million US dollars. Moreover, it is also the first computer-generated feature film of Disney animation after putting aside the glory of hand-painted animation in the past.

At the same time, the completion of this animated film, its technical support, but from Pixar Animation.

For Disney animation, it is definitely a film with special significance and mission.

"It will announce the return of Disney animation king!"

This is Michael Eisner's slogan for the animated film "King".

.......

Wald pictures, Paramount Pictures and Disney group are fighting today. In a sense, they will decide the ownership of the 2000 Christmas schedule.

Well, the vast majority of people in the industry think: "Paramount Pictures' men 100% will be the biggest winner!"

But... The result surprised everyone!

On the 15th, just after noon, "Harry Potter" achieved the first highest box office result of the day with the fourth highest number of films.

In the same period, the two films, man 100% and King transformed, were all trampled on by Harry Potter.

A few days ago, Sony Columbia's "vertical limit" and Universal Pictures's "home man" and other films were also far behind.

"What?"

"God! Is that true? "

Many people see "Harry Potter" at the box office in the middle of the noon to achieve the first results, is full of incredible look.

There is only one watch today. The author Jun's cold is not only not good, but also worse, now in the hospital hanging drops, Wuwu~
