With the release of North American box office data last weekend, theaters, as broadcasting platforms, adjusted the number of films released in recent years as soon as possible.
Or increase, or decrease.
The film "Pearl Harbor" bears the brunt!
You know, a few days ago, the film Pearl Harbor was shown in 4190 cinemas across the United States.
The large scale of the screening and the number of screens are the most since the beginning of 2001.
Looking at the historical records since the 1990s, the screening scale of 4190 cinemas can also be ranked in the top 15.
But what happened?
"Pearl Harbor" box office performance, far lower than expected!
A director of AMC, one of the three major cinemas in the United States, said: "the film Pearl Harbor occupies too much film layout and screening resources, but its performance did not meet expectations. According to the agreement signed by our AMC cinema with the producers and distributors, we certainly have the right to make flexible adjustments to the film layout. "
AMC is very dissatisfied with Pearl Harbor and will naturally reduce the layout.
And it's a big reduction in layout!
Disney group, of course, is not happy.
Even Robert egger himself.
"Dieter, we Disney have been cooperating with AMC department for many years, and we are also good friends for many years. Do you really want to do that?"
Robert egger frowned and said, "can we not reduce the layout of Pearl Harbor?"
"Well, I won't take long. I'll keep it for another seven days."
"What do you think?"
Hearing the speech, Dieter suddenly showed his embarrassment.
Dieter Efron, 49, is a senior vice president of AMC cinema, a senior executive, and a high school classmate with Robert egger, CEO of Disney Pictures.
"Five days!"
Dieter gritted his teeth and said, "man, I can buy you five days at most. You know, I'm not the boss of AMC cinema after all."
Robert egger said sincerely, "thank you! Thank you very much
He is not someone who doesn't know good or bad.
As Dieter said, he is not the owner of AMC. Of course, even if det Efron is the owner of AMC, it will not be able to maintain the film layout for Pearl Harbor for a long time.
Many shareholders of AMC cinema will never sit back and watch their own interests suffer!
"Ah ~"
When Dieter saw his old friend like this, he sighed: "old man, you producers and director Michael Bay are absolutely responsible for the box office failure of Pearl Harbor. I saw the movie. In a word, I think Michael Bay should focus on his explosive films instead of love and literature in the future. "
"Well, not every director is James Cameron!"
The voice fell.
Robert egger's mouth flicked.
To be honest, at this point, he regrets working with Michael Bay.
"It's not good for you to be honest and take pictures of explosions. Why do you want to engage in the so-called" tall "connotation?" Robert egger is full of complaints.
He remembered today!
Remember it!
He will be proud of a decision in a few years.
In 2003, Michael Bay came back to Disney for cooperation with the script escape from clone island.
Robert egger said no.
make fun of?!
The production cost of 120 million US dollars, or the so-called "high and high" connotation?
How could Robert egger agree?
Then Warner Bros. was... Trapped.
"Escape from clone island" movie was released in 2004, box office fiasco, producer blood loss!
It's much worse than Pearl Harbor!
......
At the same time.
Somewhere in Los Angeles.
Jackie Phoenix, an actor who has always cooperated well with Wald pictures, is a little dazed when he looks at the newspaper in his hand.
He regretted it!
Incomparable regret!
Once upon a time, when the ninth district film was publicly approved and auditioned for actor selection, the first actor invited was Jackie Phoenix. After all, he has worked with Wald pictures on a number of films, which can be said to be the first to come.
As long as he wants, he is basically the hero of "District 9"!
But!
He refused
"Jackie Kun, you are now in a very critical rising period. According to the market price, your salary for acting as a leading actor will not be less than $10 million. However, the total production cost of the film "District 9" is only $30 million. They will never accept our offer. "
The manager's words have been echoing in my ears.
Jacqueline phoenix also thought at that time: "it's hard for a low-cost science fiction film with 30 million US dollars to have a high box office."
The most important thing is that the director of District 9 is Christopher Nolan, not Zach Schneider.
"Ha ha!"
Jacqueline Phoenix put away the newspaper and said to himself, "I underestimated others."
He was filled with regret.
There is no doubt that he missed the opportunity to take him one step further.
Dong Dong Dong~
At this time, the agent of Jackie van persick, Lyle, ran all the way here.
He's here to apologize!
"Jackie, I want to apologize to you. Because of my shortsightedness and rigid thinking, you missed District 9. " Lyle was firm and guilty.
Jack Kun waved his hand and said with a smile, "nothing. Once I wanted to make a movie, no one wanted me, you always accompany me. A career is important, but a good brother is equally important. "
"You..." Lyle was moved.
......
Bluebird brokerage company.
As a subsidiary of Wald pictures, it is highly anticipated.
The premieres of the films "shark Beach" and "District 9" were attended by all the young actors who were signed by Bluebird agents.
"District nine is a great movie," exclaimed Alan Peggy
Tom hardy nodded: "yes. With a production cost of only US $30 million, it has produced such an excellent science fiction film, and the box office is also quite excellent. I have a hunch that the director of this film, Christopher Nolan, will soon become one of the hottest directors in Hollywood. No, or rather, he's a hot star director now. "
"Ha ha ~"
Robert Pattinson laughs: "the box office performance of" District 9 "is so good. I think those who have refused audition invitation and been eliminated should have broken their minds?"
As soon as the words came out, a group of young actors of Bluebird agent all laughed.
That's right!
A lot of Hollywood actors, now regret to die!
There is no place to sell regret medicine!
Megan faulksto chin, envious way: "the ninth district is so powerful, Mr. Wald personally directed the film" drummer ", should not be bad."
In the movie "the crackling drummer", you should know that all the little actors of the bluebird agent have appeared. Even if they are just small roles, they are full of expectations.
The second watch is on.
