Chapter 691

The next day.

The North American box office results of the day before came out.

Top 1. The first day box office of Scorpion King is 8.35 million US dollars;

Top 2. The movie "the family of herali" grossed $3.89 million on its first day;

Top 3. The box office of the movie "electric saw" was 3.4 million US dollars yesterday;

The highest box office of the next four to ten films on that day was less than $3 million.

"Where did this family of herali come out?"

Asked juke, looking at the report.

Hearing the speech, Kevin Fitch said with a smile: "boss, it's a comedy film released by a subsidiary brand film company of Sony Columbia. Yesterday's box office was pretty good, but the word-of-mouth was rotten. Many netizens were scolding on rotten tomatoes and IMDB film review websites."

"Is it our navy or universal?" Asked Zhuk in surprise.

Kevin Fitch immediately shook his head.

He said: "boss, at the beginning, I thought it was either our online water army or universal pictures. But after some investigation, I found that this is not really the result of our action. It's the film itself is very bad, and many viewers who buy tickets call themselves cheated."

"Well."

Zhuke nodded: "in that case, this film again observation, the focus is still for Universal Pictures" Scorpion King. "

"Yes, boss."

The slogan of Universal Pictures' Scorpion King is "Mummy prequel", which will undoubtedly attract a large number of fans. However, this scorpion king is not a money making movie, it has nothing to do with mummies.

The first day box office of the movie "King Scorpion" was $8.35 million, which was a good result. In fact, it was overdrawn the reputation of mummy.

Don't think that Hollywood film companies don't eat bad money. They have no bottom line. They can definitely play with money!

Ding Ding Ding~

Just at this time, a phone call went directly to Zhuke's personal phone.

"I'm Jock Wald."

"What, you say Universal Pictures has decided to hold a celebration banquet in a few days? Good guy, they are really confident. The new work of Wald pictures, the power saw, has been suppressed, but aren't they afraid of the Touchstone Pictures, the omen, poking their back door? "

On April 10, the movie "electric saw" was released;

On April 17, scorpion king was released;

On April 19, Tianzhao, produced by Touchstone Pictures and released by Disney group, was released;

After a few words, Zucker hung up.

Zucker looked at Kevin Fitch and said with a smile, "man, I just received the news that universal pictures is preparing for the film celebration banquet. Do you think they can win the omen?"

Kevin fitch

.......

On the other side.

On the eve of the release of the film, the creators of the film "omen" are now promoting it in New York.

Movie Title: omen of heaven.

Production companies: Touchstone Pictures, Marshall pictures.

Distribution company: Disney group.

Film director: M. Knight Shamalan (masterpiece: the sixth sense of the supernatural).

Starring: Mel Gibson, Jackie Phoenix

Production costs: 75 million dollars.

From the capital to cast cast cast, from the production company to the distribution company, everything shows that "omen" is a very strong film, which can win the high box office.

Starring Mel Gibson in an interview with reporters, he said: "the new work of Wald pictures, do you mean the power saw? Well, I've heard about it. It's a great horror movie, but I don't think it's going to make much impact on us. "

The voice fell.

Even when a reporter said, "are you overconfident? You know, in recent years, Wald pictures has created miracles again and again. "

Another media reporter said: "even if the power saw is suppressed by scorpion king, is there no chance to turn defeat into victory?"

Are they complaining about Wald films?

Of course not!

This group of media reporters are just picking things up and fighting. Don't overestimate their bottom line!

"Poof"

Mel Gibson was immediately happy: "I say you guys, the means are too low. You just want me to say something against Wald. "

The reporters were embarrassed.

However, they adjusted very quickly, just a few seconds later, one by one embarrassed face returned to normal.

Mel Gibson added: "it's rare that I'm in a good mood today. I might as well tell you directly that both Wald pictures' electric saw and Universal Pictures' Scorpion King are excellent, but the production company behind them has made a serious mistake. They... Met me!"

"Omen, starring me, is bound to be able to destroy all opponents like a storm."

As he spoke, Mel Gibson depicted a wave coming.

All of a sudden, the media reporters on the scene were very excited.

They never thought that Mel Gibson was still willing to jump down when their careful thinking was exposed.

"How brave he is!"

A media reporter couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Of course, man!"

Another person called out: "which of the films starring him, such as" lethal weapon "," brave heart "," ransom storm ", is worse at the box office? Mel Gibson may not be the most popular movie star in Hollywood, but he must be one of the most successful actors. Let alone facing Wald pictures, even facing the top six in Hollywood, he has the same brand face. "

Is it arrogant?

Yes, but the current Mel Gibson is really popular, and is highly sought after by major film companies!

Like the movie omen.

During the publicity period, Mel Gibson urged the producer touchstone film and the distributor Disney group, saying: "I'm enough for the poster of the movie omen."

The implication is that he doesn't want to see other actors on the poster of the movie.

He also said to his face: "the audience bought tickets for me, not other actors. It's a great honor for them to be in the same movie as me. "

How arrogant it is!

Can ordinary people do it?

No one with a little brain would ask, but Mel Gibson did.

As one of the stars, Jackie Phoenix, fainted in the bathroom.

On the poster of the movie "omen", there is really no him!!!

.......

That afternoon, Touchstone suddenly announced a news.

[touchstone's new work Tianzhao, originally scheduled to be released in 2150 cinemas in North America on April 19, is now officially changed to a trial run

The screening scale of 2150 cinemas will be adjusted to 200 cinemas, and large-scale screening will be conducted in two weeks.

This news shocked the whole Hollywood in a flash!

"Tainima is insidious!"

Kevin Fitch, President of Wald pictures, said angrily: "I said why Universal Pictures has such a strong foundation, then it must hold a film celebration banquet. It turns out that they have finished Touchstone Pictures and Disney group early."

The original schedule for April should have been a scuffle between three film companies.

But now?

Disney and touchstone retreated, leaving universal and Wald to fight.

The second watch is on.
