Best Movie Star

As the first film since the birth of the North American film market to exceed $100 million in September, the great success of "American Sniper" is also not unrelated to the coldness of the North American film market in August.

In August of this year, the North American film market experienced the most deserted situation in the past decade.

After recording its lowest box-office record in 15 years in August, the North American film market has been gathering strength to wait for a "savior" to arrive. Finally, after entering the second week of the fall season, "American Sniper" came to the North American film market in the form of "theone".

After more than a month of "suffering", the North American film market needs a flashpoint, and "American Sniper" just has all the conditions for a flashpoint.

September is the traditional off-season for movies, but any popular movies would rather be released in April and October than in September.

Matthew flipped through the list of films released in September. Films like "The End of the Vigilance", "In the Curve", "Ghost and Resentment" are either small productions or B-rated films. In "American Sniper" In the face of "Hand", there is no threat or impact at all.

It is difficult for off-season movies to break out, as long as it breaks out, it must be a dominant situation.

Although the popularity of any film will inevitably decrease after the weekend, "American Sniper" still maintains a good attendance rate. The box office of the four working days in a single day all maintains more than 10 million US dollars, and easily reaped 45.3 million. Dollar.

Ahead of a new weekend, "American Sniper" is approaching the $200 million mark at the North American box office.

The overall social situation is favorable, and the box office continues to boom. Whether it is the producer represented by Matthew, or the distributor of Warner Bros., they continue to increase publicity efforts for this film.

Coupled with the already overwhelming word of mouth and comments, the mainstream media's views are surprisingly consistent, and they are basically praising the film.

As we all know, with the prosperity of social networking sites, the promotion of social media articles has become more and more influential.

"That's what a good Clint Eastwood film looks like, 'empty but humming', like a red-hot coal that doesn't burn, but has a higher temperature."

"Although it bears the name of "American Sniper", it is not a traditional war film. When the anti-war theme is the only one that is politically correct and popular in the world, this film uses a special point of view. We present a life where war and peace are intertwined. Clint Eastwood succeeded in restoring the legend to a flesh and blood man, and also shaped the skeleton and soul of this film."

"The description of the war in the film can be said to be at an upper-middle level. Even if the war is not the main content of the film, the director has relatively realistically restored all kinds of things on the battlefield. Of course, there are still people who criticize them for not being popular enough. Such audiences are advised to pay attention to " The Expendables series."

Affected by the attack on the Benghazi consulate, although "American Sniper" caused some controversy, in mainstream public opinion, political correctness cannot be doubted.

"American Sniper, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Matthew Horner, is undoubtedly a model of success. The intense war scenes and the meticulously portrayed heart descriptions add a lot to the film itself. . . The heroic spirit in it strikes the hearts of people, allowing the audience to redefine the concept of the term war."

"The war itself represents not only weapons, equipment, killing, bloodshed, the defense of the country, the absolute ownership of the territory, the passive attack after the regime is destroyed, but also determines the fate of the soldiers who personally participated in the war, implicated in the charge. There are thousands of families behind the soldiers, which is what a war movie is all about."

As long as it conforms to the trend of the times and echoes the needs of the mainstream society, just like the "Black Panther" in the past, the movie does not need to be well shot to become synonymous with a good movie!

Of course, as the film's leading actor and Hollywood's leading commercial superstar, there are also many adverts praising Matthew.

"Matthew's most important performance in this film, I think is the part after the hero's return to peace. When his wife was in labor in the car, Matthew made an emergency U-turn on the highway, which almost regarded the American country road as a The desert of Iraq; Matthew's roar outside the hospital's delivery room, on the one hand, showed his excited state of mind left by the war, but also revealed Matthew's helplessness in the face of the needs of his family. As a father, he could not face his daughter's crying. In response, I believe he also has inner annoyance."

"Also, Matthew was especially good at drinking at the bar after returning to China. He clearly came back, and he returned to the United States with the coffin of his comrades, but he couldn't let himself go home, because his heart was still there, on the battlefield, and The comrades he wants to protect are together. He is remorseful and guilty, he is afraid on the battlefield filled with yellow sand, he has left all his weapons and equipment, the fear of death makes him think of going home, like a coward Like a deserter. If it wasn't for his wife's phone call at the right time, he could have just returned to the battlefield."

Without competitors, the anti-terrorism wave in North America is surging, coupled with the powerful publicity, the stable box office trend of "American Sniper" is simply eye-popping.

In its second weekend of release, the film's three-day box office fell just 49 percent from its opening weekend, taking in an additional $69.2 million.

"American Sniper" took $251.4 million from North America in just ten days.

Taking advantage of the old beauty's patriotism, Matthew has no sense of guilt.

This kind of thing, he is not doing it alone, the whole Hollywood and even the whole world is doing it.

However, due to the content and subject matter of the film, "American Sniper" has not yet been shown outside North America, but the box office and word of mouth in North America have attracted worldwide attention.

There were only less than 60 countries and regions that were originally determined to introduce this film, and more overseas markets were on the sidelines. After all, the type of film is here.

The box office in North America was a big hit in the first week, and the trend in the second weekend was extremely stable, which instantly made these watchers throw away their doubts.

For commercial companies, as long as there are enough profits, any concerns are superfluous.

According to Matthew's latest news, by the time of the third week of American Sniper's screening, more than 80 overseas countries and regions have confirmed that the film has been introduced.

Even a company on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had initial contact with Bella Anderson, and wanted to buy out the copyright of "American Sniper" there in the form of discs and online videos.

It is impossible for this type of film to appear in the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and selling off the offline copyright is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, Matthew told Bella Anderson not to worry, and it would not be too late to formally negotiate until "American Sniper" gets a higher box office in North America.

From next weekend, "American Sniper" will start an overseas screening tour, and Matthew and other key creators will also cooperate with the screening plans of several major overseas markets, and fly to run the publicity announcement.

With some time left in Los Angeles, Matthew hurried to tackle some other aspects of the job.

"The North American box office share of The Hunger Games has arrived."

In the office of Studio 13, Bella Anderson reported to Matthew, "After the theater split, Warner Bros. deducted the advance promotion and distribution fees and distribution fees, and the portion we received was $115.2 million. "

Matthew nodded, "I remember we spent a total of $95 million on production and promotion?"

"Yes." Bella Anderson looked down at the report in her hand, "The exact statistic is $95.16 million."

Matthew is quite satisfied, "The North American box office alone has a profit of 20 million US dollars." Now many of the box office hit movies, if they rely on the North American box office alone, they often can't even recover the cost, and he asked, "What about the overseas box office? ?"

Bella Anderson replied, "The overseas screening of the film is not over yet, and Warner Bros. has given definite news. The overseas box office share will not be credited until the end of January or early February next year at the earliest."

"Well." Matthew is not in a hurry, just like all commercial operations, it takes time for the investment in the film to recover funds and make profits. Pre-stored, I have other uses."

Bella Anderson replied, "Okay."

Matthew pondered for a while, and then said, "And the Avengers."

"This is the second part of my report." Bella Anderson took over and said, "Disney Pictures just officially sent a letter the day before yesterday, and the first North American box office of "The Avengers" will be divided into accounts at the end of next month. It's about $50 million, and the remaining North American box office revenue will come in before the end of the year."

She took a sip of water~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said, "The overseas box office share will have to wait until next year."

Matthew nodded lightly, "The profits from these two films are kept separately, so I am useful."

"The Hunger Games" and "The Avengers" will undoubtedly generate huge profits. He has long thought about the use of these two funds, a small part will continue to be used for charity, and the rest will be used to buy a private jet.

Since there is such an idea, Matthew simply said, "Bella, collect the information on private business jets, and pay attention to those with good reputation in the market."

"Okay." Bella Anderson knew what her boss was going to do.

The two discussed some more business aspects of the company's operations, and as Matthew was about to leave, Bella Anderson asked, "According to Miss Amanda's plan, the studio has a total of five million dollars in USC this week. Scholarship donation, is it me in the past? Or did you attend in person?"

Matthew thought about his itinerary and said, "Let me go."
