The Best Entertainment Era

The impact of popular movies is all-round, especially for major Hollywood studios, following the trend is always one of the least risky production models.

When Ronan held a production meeting and confirmed that the last two sequels of Pirates of the Caribbean would be filmed in a package, some news was also circulating in the Hollywood circle.

Many studios, including the Big Six, are discussing the possibility of shooting new pirate films.

There's never any shame in studios following suit.

Ronan didn't care about this kind of thing either. Strictly speaking, he didn't do much to follow suit.

For example, Taken is a typical work that followed the trend of The Bourne.

And following the trend once is not enough, the sequel of this film has also been put on the agenda, because Liam Neeson is filming Batman: Beginning of War, so the filming will not start until next year, and it will be released in 2004 or 2005.

In Taken 2, Liam Neeson was really too old. There were a lot of action scenes, so he had to use a lot of doubles, relying on post-editing series, resulting in a very clean and wonderful action scene in the first part. The second part is a bit horrible.

Now there is no need to worry about this, because of his age, Liam Neeson is in pretty good physical condition, and has been filming Taken and Batman: Beginning of War successively, and has been receiving professional training.

Ronan's plan is to finish filming the Taken trilogy before Liam Neeson's physical condition completely declines.

Pirates of the Caribbean then ushered in the second weekend after its release in North America.

As a typical big film year, in this crowded summer vacation, you can see the figure of first-line big productions everywhere.

This weekend, Jedi Men 2, produced and distributed by Sony Columbia, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Michael Bay, and starring Will Smith, will be released.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the list of the main creators, you can know the strength of this action crime film.

Moreover, the production cost of Jedi Men 2 is as high as 130 million U.S. dollars, which definitely belongs to today's first-line top production.

Ronan also traveled from Los Angeles to Miami for the film's premiere at the invitation of Will Smith and Sony Columbia.

1994,

Gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer and little-known commercial and MV director Michael Bay co-produced Bad Boys, and the leading actors chose Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, who are new to the film industry. In one fell swoop, it became Columbia Pictures' box office and profit champion in 1995, and it grossed more than 140 million US dollars at the global box office.

Bad Boys thus became the stepping stone for Michael Bay, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence to enter Hollywood, and the videotape and DVD of the film also flourished in the following years.

Especially Michael Bay and Will Smith, the successful transformation brought about by Bad Boys has also made them world-class movie characters.

The former is recognized as the Explosive Maniac, and the latter is honored as the Emperor of History.

This is a typical Michael Bay movie, a typical work full of male hormones, and it can be called the direct embodiment of the driving force of human desire to destroy.

The big American hummer crossed the small bungalow in Cuba, and the real man Will Smith never looked back at the explosion!

As for the logic of the plot, since Into the Deadly Island, there is no such thing in Michael Bay's movies, and there is no need for such a thing.

Even unreliable oil workers can fly into space and insert asteroids, so what's the point if a real man never looks back at the explosion?

Once on the Internet across the Pacific, someone commented on Jedi Men 2, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are in charge of Jedi Men, Michael Bay is in charge of 2...

But these have never been a problem in the eyes of film company bosses and investors.

For example, Ronan, as well as other producers such as Sony Columbia and Walt Disney who have worked with Michael Bay, Michael Bay is definitely a good director!

It's worth more than David Lynch and Woody Allen combined and multiplied by five.

The films directed by Michael Bay never have to worry about financing, and they don’t have to worry about no one investing, because the current Michael Bay is worth every dollar invested by the film company.

Like those films by great artistic directors, investors and producers have to carefully calculate how much money can be earned at the box office, how much money can be recovered offline, and how many years it takes to operate in the offline market to generate profits.

From directing the first film Bad Boys, Michael Bay's films never seem to need to make the producers worry too much about this issue.

Bad Boys 2 is no exception.

On its first day of release in the North American market, this action-crime blockbuster earned $16.88 million, surpassing Pirates of the Caribbean as the day's box office champion.

Pirates of the Caribbean dropped to second place with $14.85 million.

However, Michael Bay's films have always had a mediocre reputation, and the trend is mostly high and low. Although the crazy explosion attracts the audience, it is also easy to cause aesthetic and visual fatigue.

If Pirates of the Caribbean is a commercial fast food movie that is biased towards young people, then Michael Bay's films are super fast food in fast food.

Generally speaking, because Friday is a weekday and Saturday is a typical day off, many films do better on Saturday than on Friday.

However, this normalized box office trend is obviously not suitable for real men who never look back at explosions.

On the second day of Bad Boys release, that is, Saturday of that week, the single-day box office fell 4 percent to $16.2 million.

However, Pirates of the Caribbean showed strong vitality and rebounding momentum, closing at US$17.41 million that day, snatching back the crown of single-day box office champion from Bad Boys.

The good audience reputation has allowed Pirates of the Caribbean to maintain a stable and strong box office trend.

When the second weekend passed, the box office of Pirates of the Caribbean in the second weekend was only 35% lower than that in the first weekend, and it collected another US$46.86 million.

Although Jedi Men has been showing a declining box office trend during the three days of the opening weekend, the overall performance is also quite good, with a reported closing price of 46.52 million US dollars during the opening weekend.

Pirates of the Caribbean came from behind and won the top box office in North America, while the newly opened Bad Boys could only rank second in the box office with a slight disadvantage.

Within two weeks of its release, the North American box office of Pirates of the Caribbean easily exceeded the US$100 million mark, earning US$151.92 million in just ten days.

This pirate movie not only swept away the decline of previous movies of the same type, but also achieved an extremely hot box office. More importantly, with the good reputation of the audience, it drew an extremely stable box office trend.

At the same time, statistics from the offline distribution department of the Embassy Pictures were also sent to Ronan. Pirates of the Caribbean with its infinite charm has influenced the entire film market and countless movie fans. The market is hot, and related peripheral products have sold nearly 30 million US dollars in ten days.

In addition, six or seven companies have already started negotiating with the embassy film industry about the licensing of Pirates of the Caribbean related products.

The market for this is huge.

After Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was released, Warner Bros. once authorized the use of copyrights for the products of the Harry Potter series. A total of twelve companies have obtained various product authorizations, while Warner Bros. has only ten. The one-year license fee brought in more than 320 million U.S. dollars.

Many big-selling movies are out of the audience's sight, and the output value they can create is much higher than that in theaters.

The popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean in North America was quickly spread overseas by today's well-developed media network. The overseas promotion and distribution of Embassy Pictures is also in full swing. Hollywood's most important international film markets such as Europe, Latin America, East Asia and Australia.

Thanks to the film's momentum in North America and its rising box office, as well as the film's strong commercial affiliation and the unique charm of blockbusters, Pirates of the Caribbean has just been released overseas, and it also set off a wave of pirates.

If the little blacksmith Will Turner took the orthodox line of the Iron Man, which is not uncommon in Hollywood movies in the past, then the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow can be described as unstoppable.

Johnny Depp was born for a character like Jack Sparrow.

Jack Sparrow's hip-twisting stride and orchid fingers are so enchanting that people are intoxicated.

The moment the movie really took off was when Captain Jack first escaped and he grabbed the rope and he was swinging up, down, out, and my heart stayed in that happy state until the movie Finish.

A good movie, the plot is really catchy, and Depp is really handsome! Ah! Ah! Ah!

The enchanting pirate captain instantly reminded me of a sentence—forgive me for being unrestrained and loving freedom in this life!

It seems that every time a movie is released in a country or region, the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow can easily conquer the fans there.

Perhaps the evaluation of the British Times speaks the voice of many people.

Captain Jack Sparrow, a crazy character above the plot! Johnny Depp, an amazing personality actor! The script is brilliant, the plot is tight, the special effects are amazing, how can you not love it!

Before the appearance of Captain Jack Sparrow, no one would have imagined that such a free lunatic, bohemian, and evil pirate could produce infinite charm.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Pirates of the Caribbean will sell well overseas.

In its three-day opening weekend in Australia, Pirates of the Caribbean took in an almost crazy $6.6 million, which is even higher than Spider-Man.

In the first week overseas, Pirates of the Caribbean earned US$63.57 million in more than 30 countries and regions.
