The east coast of the North American continent has already felt the pain of the raging winter. Only the southernmost state of Florida is still sunny, and "Trumen's World" is being filmed here; and the west coast of the North American continent is not only free of ice and snow—— In addition to Seattle, California has also become very lively due to the arrival of holiday stalls.
This year’s summer file is quite satisfactory-it can even be said to be a disappointment. Not only did it fail to reproduce the glory of last year’s "Independence Day", but the current annual box office champion has been acquired by the "L.A. Confidential". The autumn file beats the summer file. This is also the first time in North American film history.
Now everyone is looking forward to the holiday stalls, to see if Thanksgiving plus the power of Christmas can reproduce the box office glory and bring the North American box office market back to the "normal track", even the brave people can't help it. Imagine that the North American annual champion belongs to a suspenseful drama work in the fall season. This...really too deviant-reform is urgent, but it also needs to take time. This stuttering becomes a fat man, and it is indeed impossible to hold it.
It is a pity that people are disappointed. Although the works of "King of Fighters 2: The Great Annihilation (.: and "Dr. Oolong (flubber have performed well, they are far from being compared with the summer files, let alone " Los Angeles Confidential".
There are only the last two weeks left in 1997, and there is not much time left for the North American film market. "L.A. Confidential" actually won the 1997 national and global box office championships in history, only two weeks away. This surprised the major film companies, and many media began to panic. Now, everyone’s hopes rest on the three new titles that will be released in the third week of December.
"Titanic", "007 Empire of Tomorrow (. Never. and "Perfect".
This is a very interesting thing, such a match is rare even in the summer file, the strong collision of the three works, the result is even more unpredictable, Paramount and 20th Century Fox teamed up to play against MGM Pictures, Sony Columbia Pictures, and the eight major Hollywood studios accounted for half of the country this week, and the outcome of a confrontation is also full of countless possibilities.
"Titanic", as the most invested work at the end of the century, has been full of countless topics from the beginning of the auction. The initial investment was only 100 million US dollars, but then gradually began to lose control. James Cameron seemed to be forever fed. In general, cost control is like a wild horse. First broke through 150 million, and then broke through 165 million... Before the movie was released, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox officially announced the cost. The data is surprisingly-200 million U.S. dollars.
This is the first film in film history to cost 200 million US dollars. More importantly, unlike "Independence Day", the two starring roles of "Titanic" Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate -Winslet is not at the top level, and the pay of the two people combined can not be compared to a Hugo, which means that the "Titanic" was squandering sky-high prices on filming costs.
In addition, the filming cycle of "Titanic" has been prolonged again and again. It was originally scheduled to be filmed in six months, and then it was delayed for eight months, and finally it took nine months to complete the filming. Not to mention that as a director, James's irritable temper is known far and wide, and he has repeatedly clashed with other crew members, and constantly spread trivial unfavorable news, which made Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox be devastated.
All this is reminiscent of a familiar work-"Future Water World".
Although "Independence Day" created an incredible box office miracle last year, none of the works in this summer file were able to replicate such a development trajectory, which gradually extinguished the enthusiasm of the North American market. People once again remembered the "future water The disastrous box office of "World"-and "Batman and Robin".
The same costs are repeatedly out of control over and over again, the same are the conflicts within the crew, the same are all works with computer special effects, and the same works with "water" as the theme, and they are also far more topical. Works higher than the movie itself...
"Titanic" and "Future Water World" have too many similarities, and the cost of the former has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars unbelievably-what does this mean? It means that even if the film’s North American box office exceeds 400 million US dollars, it may not be profitable. It must rely on the fierce global box office to achieve its goal; it means that the "Titanic" must replicate the "Independence Day" miracle in order to meet the two major issues. The appetite of the production company can avoid the possibility of replacing the "future water world" as the first disaster in film history.
This is almost an impossible task.
All the media are lively discussing the box office prospects of "Titanic", and more than two-thirds of the people are not optimistic that this work can create a box office miracle, and many of them even think "this work will become the most terrible in film history." The view of "a disaster" has also received a lot of support; although the remaining one-third of the conservative views are not so direct, they do not have much hope for the "Titanic" to reach the level of "Independence Day". , I just think that this work may not be a disaster, but it is also difficult to create miracles.
Before it was released, the prospect of "Titanic" had already cast a shadow.
More importantly, the opponent that "Titanic" faces is an absolute summer-level heavyweight player: "007 Empire of Tomorrow".
Two years ago, "The Golden Eye of 007" was released. Pierce Brosnan took over the position of James Bond. He was acclaimed and considered the most elegant 007 in history. Many people even took him and Sean Connor. In comparison, the box office has also been a huge success, rejuvenating the "007" series, and letting the precarious MGM once again catch a life-saving straw.
Now, the "007 Empire of Tomorrow" is coming strongly, costing 110 million U.S. dollars, and it is huge.
Originally, MGM was planning to release it in the summer file this year, but due to the late start of filming-it didn't start filming until April this year, and it didn't finish until September. However, it was too late to postpone the release to the summer file next year, and MGM couldn't wait, so it was scheduled to be released on the holiday file. I look forward to the long vacation that can bring excellent results for the film.
When "007 Empire of Tomorrow" collides with "Titanic", who will win the final victory? Most of the media chose the former, not only because of the excellent results of the previous work "007 Golden Eye", Pierce Brosnan is also highly praised; more because of the strong appeal of the "007" series, it is difficult for movie fans to watch the inertia. The attractiveness of offset; also because people think the "Titanic" is likely to become a disaster.
This makes this week’s North American weekend box office rankings become wonderful, whether it is the "007 Empire" crushing the "Titanic" or the "Titanic" crushing the "007 Empire", this is for failure It is a tragic loss for all of them; or a situation where the two wins and the two lose miserably, it is even more unpredictable. Even in the summer, such a grand occasion is rare.
What's more, no one will forget the existence of "perfect perfection".
As a comedy drama movie, "Perfectly Beautiful" costs 50 million US dollars, even if it is not inferior to the two films released in the same period. Although this work is only a comedy movie, it is incomparable with the two competitors in terms of its magnitude, but it is absolutely not inferior in terms of attention, and even slightly better.
The collaboration of Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunter and James L-Brooks has a lot of topics; but none of them can compare to Hugo, who appeared on the producer list as a screenwriter. This is the second time Hugo has worked as an independent screenwriter after "Before Sunrise", and unlike "Before Sunrise", Hugo did not participate in the performance this time, just a pure Screenwriter. This will also become an important test-the best time to verify the skill and level of Hugo's screenwriting.
The expectation for Hugo's screenwriters also keeps the topic of "perfect and perfect" hot.
Interestingly, Hugo and the "Titanic" are also very close to each other. He was once infinitely close to the position of the actor, but he finally rejected the proposal and recommended it to his best friend Leonardo, but Yu Guo still played a guest role in the movie; and now "Titanic" is trying to replicate the box office of Hugo's classic "Independence Day", and it also has to fight against Hugo's screenwriting work "Perfectly Beautiful". It is full of fun.
In the face of such a lively scene, although the reporters did not find Seaside to interview Hugo, the telephone interview still contacted Hugo. Nicholas McLenna’s aggressive question made Hugo laugh, "I am right." "Titanic" is confident that this is a very good work. I only hope that the results of "Perfect" will not be too ugly-I will carefully read the film reviews about this work, especially the part about the screenwriting."
Nicholas was rather surprised. In terms of box office selection, Hugo hardly hesitated to choose "Titanic", which is completely different from the current mainstream thinking in the media Haven't you read it recently? The newspaper? No one thinks so. "
"Nick, are you sure you want to discuss the correctness of media views with me?" Hugo's rhetorical question also made Nicholas laugh.
"Of course, why not, because I think the media views are correct this time." Nicholas replied with a smile, but he heard Hugo's noncommittal smack. "Otherwise we bet that the box office of the Titanic will definitely be It was a complete failure."
"Public or private?" Hugo was interested.
Nicholas thought for a while, still didn't intend to make Leonardo look bad, so he said, "Private business."
"Yes! What about the stakes?" Hugo was full of interest.
Nicholas thought about it seriously, "In public interviews with the media, shout the other person’s name and say, ‘I love you’."
Hugo laughed loudly, "Nick, I will definitely not accept your love." That tone seemed to have won the bet, making Nicholas dumbfounded.
