When Mark was a super Daddy at home, the beimi film market in April ushered in the second super blockbuster "professional agents 3". The last one was "ice age 2". He won $70 million in the first week and became the first beimi film of the year (the second week).

After two consecutive titles of ice age 2, it is the time for professional agents to show their talents.

As the opening blockbuster of the North American summer film schedule, the thriller action film "professional agents 3" starring Tom Cruise was released simultaneously in beimi and major film markets around the world last weekend, but this film, which was previously highly expected by entertainment media and screeners, did not bring expected surprises. According to the first Sunday estimate of Paramount Pictures, the distributor, The total box office of beimi on the third day of last weekend was about $48 million, far from the $60 million expected by its peers in the film industry.

The first "professional secret service" was released in 1996. The box office of the first weekend was $46 million, and the final box office was $180 million. The second "professional secret service 2" was released in 2000. The box office of the first weekend was $57.8 million, and the final box office was $220 million. Compared with the first two, "professional secret service 3" was not as high as expected, Although it won $70 million overseas at the same time, it was still not as expected.

Although liangtang has been ranked as the "20 million club" of Hollywood stars for a long time, since "professional secret service 2", her films, whether minority report or murder with a knife, or world war last summer vacation, have large input and small output, and the box office has failed to achieve the expected effect. That's why, Tom Cruise, who is 45 years old, works very hard this time. Whether in Berlin, China, Shanghai, Rome, Italy or Paris, the Tom Cruise in the film is running and exploding constantly.

But now magic blockbusters and superhero blockbusters are popular in the market. The market of traditional action films has shrunk sharply, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which dragged so hard last year, has stopped at 200 million.

"Professional secret service team 3" won the championship of the week, but it was far lower than the expected box office in the first week, which cast a shadow on its prospects. It was very difficult to win 200 million in beimi without breaking through 60 million in the first week.

Moreover, on May day a week later, Mark's super blockbuster "Iron Man" was released, and Mark's record of never losing the whole victory frightened all his opponents. The cinema operators said that "Iron Man" would be a summer rescue work, followed by "Poseidon's distress", and then mm super blockbuster "Da Vinci Code", which would not leave them any room, Unless these films fall.

In the second week, "professional secret service 3" won $38.4 million at the box office with a 20% decline, which became the fuse for the quarrel between Liang Tang and paramount.

This is an action blockbuster with an investment of 130 million US dollars. In addition to the two Hollywood gold lettered signboards of Abrams and cruise, the film also brings together Philip Seymour Hoffman, a new Oscar winner, black star Wen lems and Asian beauty supermodel MaggieQ.

Its location shooting travels in three countries, including the Tiber River in Rome, Jiashan Xitang ancient town, Jinmao Tower and Huangpu tunnel, while the scenes in California, Virginia and Washington occupy the vast space of the film.

For paramount, such a huge investment and box office can be called a failure.

In Paramount's eyes, beautiful soup made a lot of money. First, it took away 20 million yuan of film pay, and 20% of beimi's income guaranteed by drought and flood. Beautiful soup took away 50 or 60 million yuan. However, Paramount's such a huge company can't even earn back its hard money (the original version made hundreds of thousands). It's very angry.

For such box office, the soup is also not satisfied. He publicly accused that Paramount's distribution was not enough to lead to the movie's not being suck up. You look at the propaganda momentum of Mark's iron man. People do advertisements to do the toilet, give free toys to the welfare homes, and send hygiene products to girls in high schools. How intimate is it? Can I skip the iron man ticket? On the contrary, "professional secret service 3" did nothing. Mr. funder would save money and nothing.

The fund grid is not easy to mess with. The poor box office sales of professional secret service team 3 is caused by the neuropathy of beautiful soup jumping on the sofa. Who will be a superhero who doesn't believe in God and cults? In addition, he cited many unreasonable reasons why liangtang's salary is too high and its share is too high, and asked liangtang, Paramount's biological son, to reduce his salary and share and tide over the difficulties with the company.

As a result, Scientologists are unhappy. Scientology is a legal sect, which is slander and slander. Dozens of fanatics came to paramount headquarters to find fund theory, which almost put the famous president down. He believes that it is the good soup maker, and the relationship between the two sides has fallen to the freezing point.

As we all know, Liang Tang and John Travolta are both high-level Scientologists with great power,

It has been testified that Tom Cruise and John Travolta are very important and influential figures in Scientology. Scientologists believe that they are working for big people who can save the planet with one hand. It has been rumored that John Travolta has a leadership position and is given the right to kill at will.

In Scientology, it's called ethical protection. They also have a so-called rule to protect leaders. No matter what the leader asks you to protect him, you must do it.

And it's not the first time that Scientologists and soup threaten Viacom.

The twelfth episode of the ninth season of South Park, trapped in the wardrobe, is praised as one of the "ten episodes of South Park changing the world" by the American comedy center channel. This is an animation satirizing Scientology and Liang Tang. Liang Tang, the world's most famous Scientology faithful, threatens the Viacom group. If they dare to replay this episode of South Park, Then he withdrew from all the publicity activities of the group's paramount film "professional secret service 3".

Therefore, the fund grid directly suggested to the parent company that it had suspended the contract with liangtang for 12 years. Now the two sides are competing. The media openly ridiculed that the wonderful play of liangtang and paramount is not under professional secret service team 3.

In fact, this is a typical uneven distribution of interests. Liangtang is an old minister in the era of Shirley Lansing and holds talent and pride. It is certain that the new boss doesn't like him. In recent years, in the works cooperated by Paramount and liangtang, he makes less and less money, while liangtang makes a lot of money. In the world war, he earns much more than paramount, which has already upset the parent company.

Mark gets the same pay for the beautiful soup, but mark gets the share only when beimi breaks 100 million, which ensures that everyone is profitable. However, for the beautiful soup, he gets 20 million first, and then gets the share. He keeps the income regardless of three, seven and twenty-one, drought and flood, which makes paramount increasingly dissatisfied. With the requirements of amending the agreement, the contradiction between the two sides comes. Everyone is looking forward to the beautiful soup "Professional secret service team 3" can make some money for everyone, but its box office revenue is far lower than expected, which dashes hopes and intensifies contradictions. The relationship between the two sides is intolerable.

The same is true of the contradiction between Colombia and Maguire, which is nothing more than money. No matter how Maguire strives for it, Colombia insists that the original conditions remain unchanged, and any requirements will wait until the next film.

Maguire threatened to withdraw, and Colombia issued a letter of claim lawyer.

Maguire didn't work hard, while Sam Remy let the substitute and modified the script to disfigure spider man, which was convenient for replacement.

Because of the precedent of beautiful soup, mark and Colombia reached a consensus that even if the project was stopped, the production copyright of spider man could not be attributed to others. During this period, mm acquired WB TV network and mm group, which owns its own national TV network, became a real media group. This is a large company that Washington wants to win over. Maguire stopped a lot.

At present, the beimi film market has become unprecedentedly depressed and hungry because of the defeat of professional secret service team 3. Many cinema companies began to wait for iron man to save the market. The president of AMC cinema of rainbow media publicly said: "if iron man" It has also failed. The loss in the first half of the year has become a foregone conclusion, and the beimi film market will continue the miserable depression of last year. Layoffs have become an inevitable choice. "

This has also allowed more theaters to join the first round of iron man. In this first round of screening, 3980 theaters have joined. The momentum is strong, which is close to last year's Star Wars prequel 3 and Harry Potter 4.

And "Iron Man" came to the last minute. Iron man was scheduled for May Day, but because of the defeat of "professional secret service team 3" and the traditional box office day on May Day, they chose to release on April 28, and they held a grand premiere ceremony on April 27.

In order to organize the premiere ceremony, mm mobilized all the resources and forces that could be mobilized. The male and female stars and empty groups of MM made the premiere huge. Newspapers, television and the Internet did their best to boast it, just like the Spring Festival. The premiere ceremony of a film just made headlines in major media and became a blockbuster entertainment news.

In the midnight game, which tested their strength most, they won 7.8 million, second only to 16.9 million in Star Wars prequel 3 and 8 million in Lord of the rings 3. Many people were surprised by the good start.

You know, both Star Wars 3 and Lord of the rings 3 are sequels, and the first two are super popular works, which have accumulated a large number of fans and popularity. This iron man is the first work. It has erupted such amazing power that many box office analysis institutions and film companies don't understand.

But beimi's cinema companies understand that perhaps the first phenomenal blockbuster of this year is coming.
