PS: Please recommend votes! Please give me monthly votes!
When he was fighting for life and death in Hong Kong Island, Mr. Wu from North America focused all his attention on his "Brave End Series" movie.
This movie determines how many seats he will take in Hollywood next...
"Brave the Deadly Island" (Shi Potian) was released at the time of "East Evil and West Poison", and it also officially landed in nearly 2,500 theaters and nearly 20,000 screens in North America.
This data is enough to prove the importance the publisher Bowei and the producer attach to this commercial action film.
It also shows that the theaters value Wu Xiaozu... or Jack Brookheimer.
Wu Xiaozu's success in three consecutive movies in North America is itself a kind of qualification.
Especially this time when Christmas eve approaches, NBC, CBS and other channels broadcast 1 minute and 15 seconds of promotional editing advertisement for "Brave the Deadly Island" for many consecutive days, and also took out the programs involved in the crew for broadcast.
at the same time,
The mainstream movie "Brave the Deadly Island" has appeared in the mainstream ticket stores such as Xinxiang, San Lodu, Chicago and the entertainment pages of second- and third-tier newspapers. Many critics who participated in the preview of the movie even took the money and began to help praise them.
At the same time, the three male protagonists, Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris, also appeared in entertainment news, increased exposure, frequently appeared on TV programs for interviews, and promoted the movie.
Of course, Mrs. Tang will definitely not let it go.
During this time, the photos of Mrs. Tang and Brother Tang basically monopolized the Los Angeles entertainment layout.
Tom Tsang even took the initiative to help the movie stand up.
after all……
Not to mention his wife's acting in this drama, it is mainly because Jack Brookheimer's relationship is there, and it is understandable that he helps with the promotion. Of course... During the promotion, he also expressed many times that he and Wu Xiaozu are like-minded "good friends" and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate.
Little did they know that the two had already cooperated with their sister-in-law.
The promotional cost of "Brave the Deadly Island" is nearly 10 million. This figure is still a huge amount of funding in Hollywood in the early 1990s. This is also the foundation laid by Wu Xiaozu's success. Another thing is that producer Jack Brookheimer plays a crucial aspect.
There are many films produced by the six major film companies every year, but if such huge investment projects are still very cautious, even Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" still has a complete review process, project establishment, shooting, production, and publicity, all require a long time to study before the real layout decision will be made.
There are basically very few cases of decisions made for a certain unspoken rule or a slap in the forehead in large companies.
Therefore, this also proves the distribution company's trust and expectations for the movie "Breaking into the Deadly Island".
For this reason, the premiere of this movie was also on the "Devil's Island" for the first time. During this period, many news also mentioned this "infamous" island and popularized the relevant history for North American readers.
Many TV stations have followed up to make corresponding reports.
It can be said that the film's publicity department is using all resources to lay the foundation for this movie.
This is also the reason why the film spent nearly 10 million in publicity expenses in the early stages of the film.
Although the publicity fee of nearly 10 million is less than the publicity amount of the God-promotion of "Jurassic Park" of $65 million.
But this is almost the same as the promotional cost of truck driver "Terminator 2" in the past two years. It can be regarded as the standard amount of a mainstream commercial film. In this era, there is no longer a situation where the publicity investment is often increased by tens of millions.
I was clearly playing with the Red Top White in Hollywood.
The reason why Bowei is so generous is not because Wu Xiaozu is beautiful, but because he has been successful in "Chinatown" and "Pulp Novels" have enough convincing results.
Even the non-English film "No Man's Land" has achieved millions of dollars in the North American market. You should know that this film is only released on dozens of screens in a small range...
Such achievements naturally give them enough confidence.
In addition, their people watched the preview promotion of "Brave the Deadly Island", and the company gave an "A"-level evaluation, believing that the movie would become a bombshell in the Christmas season.
In fact, every movie is a brand new gambling start for Hollywood companies.
But some have high chances, some have low chances.
I have to say that Bowei bet right this time!
On the day of the premiere, 2,585 cinemas across the United States were released at the same time. Among them, the attendance rate in the Los Angeles area exceeded 40%, and the box office results of a single-day single-stage studio were close to US$10,000. The results may vary in other regions. However, through the 5,690 audience feedback questionnaire collected by the midnight show, the A+ score rate reached 77%, the A+ score rate accounted for 90%, and the C score was only 3%.
Such rating feedback may not fully prove the prospects of "Brave the Deadly Island" in the commercial box office, but it has basically made Bowei feel at ease enough.
The premiere box office did not disappoint everyone's expectations - $27,450,056, which is enough to rank second in the year, second only to the $47,059,460 score of "Jurassic Park" released in the Global Summer.
You must understand that the latter was trampling on the $45,687,711 record of "Batman 2: Batman Return" the previous year and was out of control...
1993 was also known as the "Dinosaur Year". As of the release of "Brave the Deadly Island", this dinosaur achieved a box office of more than 900 million yuan worldwide, setting a new box office record and becoming the box office champion in film history.
It was not until many years later that the big ship broke this record.
Now that "Breaking into the Deadly Island" can achieve its premiere results second only to "Jurassic Park", it is a surprise enough.
This data can even win the annual premiere box office champion in previous years... But even so, among the "Philadelphia Story", "Gots Assassination Order", "Brave the Deadly Island" truly demonstrates its true nature as a dark horse in the box office.
In the first week, it won the North American box office championship with a record of $45 million, surpassing the IP sequel of "The Nuns Are Crazy 2".
At the same time, theaters and publishers raised the box office expectations of the movie.
In his previous life, three years later, the film won $134 million in North America and $335 million in global results without being optimistic and having a bad start.
In this life, the film has received more attention, and the promotional channels are wider. Although many scenes such as speed vehicles and collisions seem to be very "vulgar", the explosion that stimulates the adrenal glands and makes people unable to remove the picture is absolutely to the extreme. In addition, General Hanmo's sensational treatment later, the entire film has full commercial attributes.
As a popcorn movie, this drama is absolutely successful.
Some film critics even teased Wu Xiaozu because of the frequent "explosion" scenes in the whole movie and gave him the title of "explosion John".
Many people did not expect that such an international film master who has always been successful in dealing with art and commercial cooperation will still be so successful after transforming into a commercial popcorn film director.
If Wu Xiaozu became famous in Hollywood before, after this battle, Wu Xiaozu became famous completely and was basically qualified to be promoted to the ranks of first-tier commercial directors...
Although it may be that the crane is at the end, there is no problem with the front line.
Chapter completed!
