After the impasse of "cold in the third and dead in the fourth" of Superman series took shape (the fifth film came back to life in a low-key last year), the persistent Warner Brothers turned to offer a more successful Batman Series for comic hero fans. So far, each of the five films has brilliantly whitewashed the box office record as a champion, even before the Four Eyed master who tied the record with the help of the order of the Phoenix. So, after the filming of the Harry Potter series, who will Warner, who is good at making the series, hold the baton?

At present, the first candidate is the fantasy best-selling novel "happy trick", which is originally written by the Irish omnipotent writer Drake Randy. It tells the story of the funny skeleton detective and the little girl's partner facing the evil faceless ghost trying to return to the world. It is expected to write eight! The protagonist combination sounds like "Dumbledore in the zombie bride + Harry Potter in the dark matter", but the fantasy and thriller content remains unchanged. The crucial explosive point of "magic" is replaced by comedy and absurd elements.

The second candidate work is Septimus by Angie sage, a Native American writer. It seems to be more similar to Harry Potter: in a world full of magic and curse, two children born to be transferred will form the center of gravity at both ends of the story scale, and the length is also seven. Although it has sold well since its release, it was criticized by book critics that "the relationship with Harry Potter is like the Dragon Knight at the foot of the Lord of the rings", which can be called a congenital deficiency.

Since the two series of Harry Potter and the Lord of the rings opened a new page in film history, the adaptation of magic bestsellers has been carried out vigorously in Hollywood. The successful clone of Disney is lucky to grab the classic Narnia legend as famous as the Lord of the rings; Paramount and fox in the 20th century were unlucky to choose the wrong mother (the unfortunate experience of ramoni snitch and the Dragon Knight); I wonder where the above two plans of Warner Brothers will go? Is it to join hands with MGM to embark on another adventure in China? Or bet on the golden compass?

By the way, is Ms. J.K. Rowling interested in writing a prequel to Harry Potter based on the idea of the Hobbit to the Lord of the rings? In fact, Warner Bros. should send someone to lobby or hypnotize or force her to start the project, especially when the new line company and Peter Jackson are far away.

Transformers was released simultaneously in China, breaking many records in one fell swoop. This week, it exceeded the $220 million expected by mm last week as scheduled, and kept the decline of the next week at a relatively small 49% (close to Spider Man 2 in the same period in 2004). After further expansion, 4050 cinemas grabbed about $36 million in three days with an average data of nearly 8900, which is very competitive! In 12 days, the speed of reaching 200 million gold ranks 13th in film history. Referring to the 16 works with more than 200 million US dollars in film history in two weeks, only Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire and hacker empire 2: reload did not reach the record of 300 million (290 million and 280 million respectively). Mm and fans seem to have seen the dawn of transformers breaking the $300 million mark, If we can have a total sales volume of 245 million to 250 million next Sunday, we will take another big step towards our goal.

This unexpected excellent result not only ended the previous personal best performance of director Michael Bay, but also dwarfed the world war, which uncle Spielberg said would "make a billion dollars in the world". It was released on the same schedule as independence day. The box office of World War in the same period was more than 50 million less than that of transformers. In addition, transformers The big sale of transformers also reminds the producers of actively preparing for the second and third parts of the series: the budget of Transformers 2 should not be less than $200 million. In addition, it's time for the emergence of integrated King Kong!

Both died in view of the noise and control; Similarly, Hercules, who has lost his bulldozer and lacks a leg, is difficult to appear; There are still some things to watch in the crazy camp, such as the most handsome flying tiger, the coolest flying tiger and the strangest armadillo ghost. If flying tiger, Bo Pai must send fearless with poor performance to attend. Five aircraft may lead to an investment of 400 million (especially silver arrow...); Armadillo ghost's words, although demons and monsters are highly hyped, the opponent's calculation is that Wang Shi is too simple, but the advantage is that his biological father's robot dinosaur wire rope is expected to take the opportunity to show; Strictly speaking, SM, the opponent of chongyunxiao, is not a fit King Kong. The patron saint who has been flat by the mixed sky leopard for many years and is less affected than Xingya, has low combat effectiveness. Of course, this is a headache for director Michael Bay and screenwriters, but there are thousands of messages on the official website of transformers, all of which are ideas.

Compared with the unprecedented durability of Michael Bay's "short-lived" works, Pixar CG animation, which is usually famous for its endurance, is not long enough. Although the cooking mouse king won back the city with a relatively small 38% this weekend and harvested about 18 million dollars in 3625 cinemas with an average value of nearly 5000 dollars, However, the total amount of $143 million is still enough to make Pixar frown. The amount of money in monster company, Nemo, Superman and racing is far ahead of the little mouse in the same period.

It seems that after a large number of logging in Shrek 3, the competition in the same period in tiger 4 and the interception behind transformers, the scarred rat king really ate a heavy stick in Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix this week. It seems that burning, killing and looting are the mainstream topic in July. The warm and touching little Remy inevitably sighs that his life is out of time, Pixar has a bad time. Before the Oscar defeat of racing story, it fell into a box office dilemma. It ushered in the embarrassing situation of "US $200 million attack and defense war" for the first time in the 21st century.

If the cumulative data of US $165 million can not appear next weekend, the 200 million level will become a suspense. The relatively bleak box office in the same period since the new century, that is, the box office of racing last year, was US $182 million, but it still maintained the local average value of Pixar's works with the final revenue of US $244 million. Moreover, even if "rat king" can complete a rather arduous $165 million next week, it will still bear the pressure of "The Simpsons" in another week. If you are depressed, the counter attack of 2D classic cartoon image is likely to be a fatal blow to 3dcg mice.

Tiger bravery 4 fell to the palace army with a 39% decline. Its revenue this weekend was about US $10.88 million, and the total number successfully exceeded the 100 million mark. Due to the huge production cost of 110 million, it is still difficult to conclude that it is "profitable" if the global box office and audio-visual product revenue are not calculated. However, father Willis, who is integrated with his ex-wife Demi Moore and his ex-wife's new husband Ashton Kutcher, The bald comeback 12 years later has leapt to the highest box office in the "tiger bravery" series, but it is obvious to all. At the same time, what makes the media doubt is: how much box office will "spy 3" be robbed by "cut and" tiger 4?

The marriage certificate, which was scolded by film critics and died in sight, unexpectedly locked the decline at 29% this week. So far, the record of $30 million makes people have to admire Robin Williams's box office appeal again. Regardless of museum night and happy feet, we can see from last year's rest mission and Mr. year that "although it's bad, it's still a long term" It has become a powerful evidence that Williams is increasingly unable to pick the old eye of the script and the old and firm commercial value.

The 1408 phantom, which focuses the bridge segments of various horror films on a very small claustrophobic space, once again shows its strong durability with a lower 29% after last week's 33.5%. With the 5 million this weekend, the film has accumulated about 62 million, which is dazzling against the cost of 25 million. However, it must be pointed out that the illusion in this film is very different from the flash of the year, Although it is also psychological terror, the fantastic bridge section full of magic created by special effects is the biggest attraction of 1408. In other words, only in terms of "terror", 1408 is not outstanding, and the key lies in its creativity.

The seventh and eighth "fake god 2" and "big belly at night" are the comedian brothers of universal company. It is common for fake god 2 to fall as hard as ever and for one night's belly to be strong without suspense. The decline and total results of both sides are 43% / 30%, 88 million and 138 million respectively. "Fake god 2", with an unprecedented investment of 175 million (comedy), has been "honored" as the biggest box office loser this summer. Out of face, globegroup may spend more than 100 million on the film, but it is actually crying out at a loss; On the other hand, I'm afraid it's necessary to consider making a sequel to "big belly at night", which is equivalent to the mixture of "40 year old virgin" and "American Pie". It's really a dream to spend more than 150 million in the end. Next week, another comedy "My grand gay wedding" will succeed successfully. There are three magic weapons in hand, "wedding + gay + Adam Sandler". Most of the three summer comedies around the world will show a V-shaped elevation of "high on both sides and low in the middle". Although it is rumored that "gay wedding" is smelly, Adam Sandler has great appeal. Now Sandler is willing to "come out" for the box office, The gay wedding box office is not bad.

The ranking of medical insider and thirteen Arhats remains unchanged, still hovering at the edge of ninth and tenth. The former continued to steadily expand the screening area and tried to repeat the good play of the hard to ignore truth (insert a "hard to ignore truth": it seems that the son of former Vice President Gore was exposed by the media in a traffic accident not long ago...), with a total of nearly 16 million.

The latter successfully completed the task, allowing the thieves led by Soderberg to return home with a series of box office achievements of US $110 million, plus the box office outside Shanghai, DVD and surrounding revenue. After paying the film remuneration of a number of big stars, the producer should make a small profit, but its profit figure is certainly not as good as those works such as 1408 phantom and a big belly, At best, it's hard money.
