Chapter 852： Flying around in summer

Friday was 48.15 million U.S. dollars; on Saturday, there was a slight decline, but it also had 45.55 million U.S. dollars; on Sunday, the decline expanded again, but the result of 36.58 million U.S. dollars was also impressive.

In the first three days, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached 130.28 million U.S. dollars!

As a feature-length animated film with a relatively long period of value preservation in theaters, such a box office in the first week almost indicates that "Toy Story 3" will inevitably be a big seller.

In terms of overseas box office, "Toy Story 3" performed well in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia and even Latin America, but in the Far East, it suffered from many reasons such as the character image and the typical Western themes contained in it. To a certain degree of cold reception.

Especially in the Chinese market where "Avatar" has sold more than 1.598 billion RMB, "Toy Story 3" received mediocre response. In the first three days, it only got less than 50 million RMB at the box office.

Of course, this is not just the reason of "Toy Story 3" itself. The Chinese animation film market has not yet fully formed. The animated films that can be sold in China are not such full-age animation feature films, but are specially made for ten. A completely juvenile movie watched by children aged and below.

However, even if it is cold in the Far East, the overseas box office of "Toy Story 3" in the first week is still as high as nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office totaled up to 328.99 million U.S. dollars!

This is already an achievement that allows Walt Disney and Pixar Studios to hold a celebration party.

When the box office of "Avengers", which is a fast-moving consumer product in theaters, turned to be flat, "Toy Story 3" once again stimulated Walt Disney's box office money-making journey.

Although in the first four working days of the second week, the film’s single-day box office inevitably dropped below US$20 million, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" easily exceeded US$200 million before the second weekend. It reached more than 229.45 million U.S. dollars, and in the three days of the second weekend, another 67.55 million U.S. dollars was obtained from North America!

Only ten days. The North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached more than 297 million US dollars, and the North American box office exceeded 300 million US dollars.

The global box office of the film came to a height of 624.71 million US dollars!

At this time, no one doubts that the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" can exceed 400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office can exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars!

The ending song of the "Toy Story" series is bound to create the myth of the animated feature film.

However, the box office is only a relatively small part of the film's revenue, and what really makes Disney burst into is the peripheral products of "Toy Story".

From the large-scale publicity and release of "Toy Story 3" to the super-sale now at the box office, sales of goods related to the movie have reached 680 million US dollars!

Many Wall Street agencies and Walt Disney's own calculation department predict that in mid-2010, Disney will get about 2.5 billion US dollars in revenue from the sales of peripheral products of "Toy Story 3"!

"Ratuitou" and "Robot Walli" are still relying on the peripheral income in the later period to strive to accumulate profits. Compared with these two commercially unsuccessful works, "Toy Story 3" has exploded their ten streets. If there are no accidents, at least ten years or even longer, "Ratuiture King" and "Robot Walli" "There will be no sequels, or even sequels forever.

And "Toy Story 4" will definitely enter the future planning of Disney's senior management.

In fact, if you want to identify whether such commercial works are really a huge success, you will know if they have sequels. Commercially-oriented Hollywood producers and distributors will not let go of every opportunity to make money.

"The "Toy Story" series is really over?"

Walk by Ryan's side. Natalie asked while looking at the surrounding scenery, "Is there no fourth one?"

There is no depression in Australia in winter, and Queensland is full of green trees. It didn't seem to have any smell of winter. Ryan and Natalie were all looking around while walking on the path among the woods. This was already the fifteenth location they checked.

"There will definitely be."

Ryan was very satisfied with this pristine forest. "It's a good place. It can be used as a location for the Kingdom of Lordaeron."

Then he answered Natalie's question just now. "In fact, "Toy Story 4" is already on Disney's future schedule, but it will take a few more years. After all, the trilogy has just ended."

"I will let the assistant contact the owner here." Natalie stopped and looked into the distance through the sparse woods. "Let's go back."

"Okay." Ryan nodded and turned and walked out of the woods. Natalie took his arm and asked, "Ryan, since I have accepted your script, as the director, I think I should be here. Have a little say in the selection of actors."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Ryan asked, turning his head.

"You understand."

The smart girl didn't say it straight, but closed her mouth.

"Okay, okay." Ryan sighed, "Since everyone is against it, then I will give up. The job of selecting actors should be left to you and Julis."

The two did not continue discussing this issue. After returning to the hotel to pack their luggage, they started flying around the world. China, Russia, Norway, Greenland, Canada and even Oregon and Montana have all left Ryan and Natalie's footprint, in order to select a suitable location, they almost took a quick round the world trip.

When returning to North America, Ryan and Natalie had reached a consensus on many location locations for the film, and the filming of the film would also be selected in the Gold Coast Warner Film World studio. In the early contacts, the Australian government has already promised A 14% tax rebate will be provided for this huge magical epic masterpiece, and even if the film can be completely shot and produced in Australia, the Australian authorities are also prepared to spend millions of Australian dollars to pay for part of the film’s expenses.

As the main person in charge of the film, Ryan, Natalie and Julis Stewart also met.

"The outdoor scenes of the film will be shot on the spot as much as possible."

Sitting in the reception room, Ryan was sipping coffee and said to other production teams headed by Julius, "The special effects production will be completely handled by Industrial Light and Magic, and their special effects production team is already under preparation. "

"I went to many places with Ryan." Natalie took the initiative. "Most of the filming and production will be carried out in Australia. The Australian authorities will also provide necessary support to the crew."

Then, I talked about some other matters prepared by the crew. Julius Stewart has rich experience, and Natalie as the director is no longer a fledgling rookie. Ryan does not need to do these things.

As for the choice of actors, Ryan was completely handed over to Natalie and Jules Stewart.

Of course, as the head of Kidman Studios, one of the film investors, Nicole did not participate in this preparatory meeting, and she does not have to worry that Ryan or Disney will pit investors like other major Hollywood companies. .

This magical epic, temporarily code-named ‘Warcraft’, has officially entered the preparatory stage.

Afterwards, Ryan flew to South Africa and, as a guest, accompanied Charlize Theron to watch the South African World Cup finals in the football city of Johannesburg and witnessed the birth of the Spanish dynasty.

"What a dirty game."

Looking at the desperate Orange Army, Charlize Howe relentlessly ridiculed, "This is the Dutch team least like the Dutch team. They played too dirty."

"De Jong can go to take a Hollywood action movie."

With the voice boiling, Ryan and Charlize almost talked in each other’s ears, "In the first half, I really doubted that Harvey Alonso would die."

"This Dutch team is not worthy of a championship either." Charlize murmured a little closer, "Roughness and violence are simply synonymous with them."

"The winner will not be blamed." Ryan said.

This is indeed the case. If the Dutch won the World Cup championship, the outside world would only think that they were tactically well, and successfully suppressed Spain by fouling and the so-called tough confrontation, instead of the flood of accusations that will inevitably come in the future.

After Casillas raised the Hercules Cup, Ryan and Charlize took the lead to leave the Johannesburg Sports City, and the two have to prepare for a dinner jointly organized by the South African government and FIFA later.

When returning to the hotel and changing the dress, Charlize suddenly asked Ryan, "I heard that the crew has begun preparations?"

"I just had a preparatory meeting before I came here." Ryan faced the mirror and adjusted his bow tie. Charlize came to take over the job. "Well, what about my heroine?"

"My dear..." Ryan couldn't help having a headache. "You know the difficulty of this matter. I was just trying it out. Didn't you just treat it as a joke?"

"But I take it seriously now." Charlize's eyes flashed with innocence I was completely responsible for the casting work. "

Since being awakened by Nicole and Taylor, Ryan has been trying his best to prevent the future studio from becoming a battlefield, and simply changed the subject, "My dear, for more than a year, you have to take care of the World Cup in addition to busy ct affairs. Propaganda activities should also have a long holiday."

"After attending this dinner,"

After taking the tuxedo jacket, Charlize helped Ryan put it on, "Let’s go on vacation together."

The dinner was held in the state banquet hall of the South African government. In addition to many high-ranking officials in South Africa and many FIFA officials, Ryan also met Mandela. The former president of South Africa is already very old and may leave the world at any time. Although the opponent is a legend, in the eyes of Ryan, he is nothing more than a strange politician.

After attending the dinner, Ryan and Charlize flew directly to Lanai, where they spent a week of vacation. (To be continued...)
