On Sunday, a very crazy scene ushered in major movie theaters in North America. At least 7.5 million viewers flocked to the movie theaters to watch the final chapter of the trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

For a time, the names of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and Orion Pictures kept spreading around the world.

The former has aroused enthusiastic responses all over the world because of the two films "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Rider of the Two Towers".

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which will be released overseas, has naturally attracted countless media attention.

The same is true, as well as Orion Pictures.

With "Ice Age", "X-Men", "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", "Tomb Raider", "Rush Hour", "American Pie", "Spider Heroes" and other films were released.

There is no doubt that the brand of Orion Films has not only been erected, but also has accumulated many movie fans all over the world.

Although "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" will be released simultaneously in more than 70 countries and regions overseas next weekend.

But at this time, a group of media from overseas countries have already set their sights on "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and Orion Pictures.

"Three films, three times caused a large-scale movie viewing wave, even if it is placed in Hollywood, it is an event that is enough to be recorded in history."

"However, the production companies of these three films are not the Hollywood giants we are familiar with, but Orion Films, the third tier of Hollywood."

A report from Canada's "North American Times".

"The box office performance of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" may surpass the previous "Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers", ranking second in the global box office list. If you add the first "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" " box office.

In this way, all three films are within the top ten of the global box office rankings, which is a brilliance that no one has ever achieved. "

A report from Japan's Asahi Shimbun.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" not only created a miracle, but also saved New Zealand's tourism industry."

"The Queen should award Ryan Gosling and Peter Jackson a medal."

This is a report from a major New Zealand newspaper.

However, what makes people speechless is that the current queen of New Zealand.

It is prepared to say that she is a queen of England, and is nominally the queen of the sixteen countries of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Among them is New Zealand.

Also, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grena Dins, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu.

Counting Britain and New Zealand, there are exactly sixteen countries.

These countries are only some of the fifty-three countries in the Commonwealth of Nations.

(Although the British economy is in decline, its influence cannot be underestimated.)

Before it was released in overseas countries and regions, the film has already caused a huge response, which shows the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

A group of overseas cinema companies even provided most of their screens and auditoriums for the public screening of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

The hot discussion in the media of overseas countries gradually spread back to North America.

As a result, the popularity of films continues to increase, forcing theater companies to increase the scale of screenings and film scheduling rates again.

The box office trend of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" on Sunday did not show the expected decline.

Among the 4058 movie theaters in North America, the box office was 41.21 million US dollars in a single day.

In just three days, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" accumulated a box office of 11.7 billion U.S. dollars, becoming the second film in North America to break the 100 million U.S. dollar box office in the first weekend.

That's just a few million dollars shy of the $1.3 billion record set by "Spider-Man" last November.

At this time, all the Hollywood film companies are well aware that in the absence of major commercial films released in May, the box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" has become a big hit, and there is no way to stop it.

What's more, "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" directed by George Lucas chose to stagger the schedule in May.

Only three films will be released in North America next week, one of which is "Infidelity" released by 20th Century Fox. The investment of the entire film is only 5 million U.S. dollars, and it will be released on demand on Wednesday.

There is also "Damn", which is a horror Hong Kong film.

The last one, "The Newcomer", is a low-cost comedy film produced by Sony Pictures, with an investment of only 13 million US dollars.

There's no way any of these films could stand up to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

"It's a film full of surprises."

Inside Lucasfilm, George Lucas put down the newspaper in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that there will be a good show on next year's Oscars."

He is very aware of the face of the academy. While he hates commercial films, he also wants to increase the ratings. He keeps talking about art and fairness, but he is constantly influenced by external factors.

Simply disgusting.

However, what they are about to face is "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", as well as the accumulated influence of the two global blockbuster films "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers".

Think of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" with a global box office of 96.8 billion US dollars, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Trooper of the Two Towers" with a global box office of 10.2 billion US dollars.

There is also the $11.7 billion box office in the first weekend of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" in three days.

George Lucas seemed to see the old men of the academic school, and finally lowered his proud head helplessly, and even talked about the ugly face when he talked about "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

It's a pity that his relationship with the college is not good, or it is very stiff, otherwise he could go over and make fun of it.

"3D animated feature film."

After lunch, sitting in the lounge, Sofia Coppola held a list of film release times and said to Ryan: "The release time of "Robot Adventure" is the 31st of this month."

"Do you think this 3D animated feature film can reach the level of "Ice Age"!"

Many people in Orion Films have seen the internal test screening of "Robot Adventure", and they feel that it is not bad.

But it depends on how the box office is.

"It's hard." Ryan shook his head and said, "Not every animation studio can be like Pixar Animation Studios."

"Compared to "Robot Adventure", I am more looking forward to the release of "Ice Age 2" next year."

How much did the original Robot Adventures gross?

Ryan doesn't remember very clearly, it doesn't seem to be a big-selling 3D animation feature film.

Of course, with the production level of Blue Sky Studio, basically it will not hit the street.

Instead, the original 3D animated feature film was a success.

It's just not as good as "Ice Age".

Sofia Coppola nodded thoughtfully and said, "So you've been planning to get DreamWorks Animation?"

"This is obviously easy to see." Ryan said very seriously: "Blue Sky Studios is limited in scale, Pixar Animation Studios has a long-term distribution agreement with Disney, and wants to **** Pixar Animation Studios from Disney. Not an easy task."

"DreamWorks Animation is our best bet right now."

Orion Pictures has been in constant contact with Jeffrey Katzenberg, and even revealed its intention to acquire.

It's just that Jeffrey Katzenberg only agreed to continue to cooperate with Orion Films, and he didn't mention the topic of acquisition at all.

In addition, he single-mindedly promoted the listing of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

In this way he can maximize his profits.

"Of course, Blue Sky Studio also has its own advantages." He seemed to emphasize something specially.

In the previous life, there were not many 3D animation feature films produced by Blue Sky Studio The investment in each film was not very high, and there were very few projects with an investment of 100 million US dollars.

What is surprising is that almost all the 3D animation feature films produced by Blue Sky Studio have achieved success, and none of them hit the box office.

The fifth film in the "Ice Age" series, and it didn't fail.

Although, the North American box office of this sequel 3D animated feature film is not ideal, with a box office of only 64.06 million US dollars.

However, the overseas box office reached 34.4 billion U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 40.8 billion U.S. dollars, while the production cost of the entire film was only 10.5 billion U.S. dollars.

From a commercial point of view, this 3D animation feature film has not failed, but has been successful.

This is the unique working spirit and philosophy of Blue Sky Studio.

It was Disney who really made Blue Sky Studios decline. After Twentieth Century Fox was acquired, Disney first chose to hide Blue Sky Studios, and finally chose to close them down.
