Entering October, after nearly five months of release, "Ice Age" has a North American box office of $220 million, an overseas box office of $230 million, and a global box office of $450 million.

Compared with the original global box office of 380 million U.S. dollars, it is about 70 million U.S. dollars higher.

Although it is not as good as "The Lion King"'s North American box office of 420 million US dollars, overseas box office of 540 million US dollars, and global box office record of 960 million US dollars.

But it also surpassed "Toy Story 1"'s North American box office of 190 million US dollars, overseas box office of 180 million US dollars, and global box office of 370 million US dollars.

It became the second-grossing animated feature film of all time and the first-grossing 3D animated feature film.

The box office performance of "Reaper is Coming" is much worse.

However, North America also earned $51.12 million in box office, overseas box office of $49.85 million, and the global box office exceeded $100 million. Moreover, the film is still in theaters, and it is expected to increase the box office somewhat.

The key point is that the cost of this film is only 20 million U.S. dollars, and the content and plot are very suitable for adaptation into a series of films, so it can continue to be filmed.

Thinking of this, envy flashed in Greg Silverman's eyes. Not counting Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which was co-produced with 20th Century Fox, Orion Films has already had two films with a North American box office of over 100 million.

Among them, "Ice Age" has a North American box office of 220 million U.S. dollars, and is very likely to win this year's North American box office champion.

There is also the North American box office performance of "Rush Hour", which can undoubtedly be included in the top ten of the North American box office list.

That is to say, the Christmas schedule has not yet arrived, and Orion Films has already included two films in the top ten of the North American box office rankings, a result that is enough to move Warner Bros.

Moreover, Orion Films also has a sequel film "American Pie 2", which has not yet been released. As a sequel film, no one dares to underestimate the box office performance of "American Pie 2" in the future.

What's more, Hollywood film companies are aware of one thing. The key project of Orion Films in the next few years is the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

There is also "Inception" directed by Ryan Gosling himself, and "Harry Potter" with Warner Bros.

besides,

Orion Pictures also has several good projects in the works.

Taking the production and distribution business alone, it is enough to rank among the forefront of Hollywood film companies.

"Compared to the achievements that have been made, I hope that the box office of "Harry Potter" will be a global hit in the future."

Ryan smiled, turned the topic to "Harry Potter", and said, "Don't introduce me to Director Chris Columbus and our little stars."

"I heard from Sophia that the audition scene of the crew was very spectacular."

"Of course." Greg Silverman regained his composure, brought the two of them to the "Harry Potter" crew and others, and introduced them very familiarly.

"This is director Chris Columbus, producer Michael Barnathan, and our young actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson..."

Greg Silverman introduced them one by one.

Ryan's eyes lingered on Emma Watson for a while, who is recognized as the one with the most development potential in the future golden iron triangle.

It's a pity that her development in her previous life was still not very good, and she was far from being comparable to Scarlett Johansson, who was a child star.

"Didn't Rowling come?" Ryan looked around, but didn't see Rowling.

"Her daughter was sick and needed someone to stay home," Greg-Silverman explained.

"Tell her for me that I will visit her in person when I have time." Ryan planned to find a time to visit Rowling in person.

She is a respectable writer.

Several people talked with each other for a while, and the young actors rarely spoke, and only opened their mouths to answer when Ryan asked.

At this time, Severus Snape, one of the important supporting roles in the film, came over in a hurry, leaned on Chris Columbus's ear, and whispered a few words.

Chris Columbus's face suddenly became a little unnatural.

"Miss Natalie Portman, seems to be in a little trouble."

Chris Columbus explained to Ryan in a low voice: "She seems to have had some conflicts with Harvey Weinstein, and someone has already notified Miss Helen."

Harvey Weinstein!

Ryan raised his eyebrows. He hasn't heard this name for a long time. It seems that every time he hears this name, it is almost not a good thing.

"Charlie, wait for me here."

"I'll go and have a look."

Hearing what he said, Charlize Theron put down the champagne in her hand, "I'll go with you."

"Then let's go." Ryan didn't worry about these trivial matters, and walked towards the other side of the banquet hall.

The few people left behind looked at each other, why is Harvey-Weinstein also in the UK? And came to the banquet!

"Will it cause trouble?"

"Why don't we follow the past together!" Chris Columbus was a little worried, Harvey Weinstein was not an ordinary person.

"Don't worry, Ryan will take care of it."

Greg Silverman said calmly: "Besides, Natalie Portman is a member of the Star Wars crew, that is George Lucas' crew, and Harvey Weinstein dare not mess around. "

Inside the banquet hall, Natalie Portman looked at Harvey Weinstein with no expression on his face, and blocked a very beautiful young girl behind him.

"Mr. Wayne!"

"Please show some respect, Keira is my friend." Natalie Portman said slowly.

Harvey Weinstein stared at Natalie Portman, who was sabotaging his good deeds, and said in a low tone: "Miss Portman, I advise you to ignore this matter, otherwise it will be bad for you." It won't do any good."

"You don't have to worry about me." Keira Knightley bit her lip hard. She didn't want to cause trouble for Natalie Portman, and the relationship between the two was not very good.

She's just Natalie Portman's stand-in, not even a friend.

Hearing this, Natalie Portman glanced at her and didn't speak.

Once she chooses to leave, Keira Knightley's fate can be imagined.

"Mr. Wayne, as I have already said, Kayla is my friend."

"If you don't leave, I can only call Uncle George and ask him to come over from the studio and tell you in person."

While talking, Natalie Portman was about to pick up the phone and call George Lucas.

"Wait, Natalie, don't bother George with a call."

Ryan walked over with Charlize Theron in his arms, looked at Harvey Weinstein indifferently, "Harvey, that's enough."

Seeing Ryan and Charlize Theron approaching, Natalie Portman breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Keira Knightley and said, "Okay, it's okay, remember to be more careful next time .”

"It's best to get a new agent when you go back. Your current agent is nothing but rubbish."

The cause of the incident was very simple. Keira Knightley's manager, through some unknown relationship, contacted Harvey Weinstein, and planned to introduce Keira Knightley to Harvey Weinstein.

Fortunately, Natalie Portman saw that Keira Knightley was also at the banquet, and wanted to come over to say hello, just in time Harvey Weinstein forced Keira Knightley to drink, holding her hands Fumble around.

At that moment, Natalie Portman stepped forward, blocked Keira Knightley behind her, and confronted Harvey Weinstein.

Although Ryan's voice was not loud, he was full of momentum, and he didn't take Harvey Weinstein seriously.

Seeing Ryan coming, Harvey Weinstein frowned, "Ryan, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can take Miss Portman away."

"As for this Miss Keira, I have a private deal with me."

Ryan still said calmly: "Harvey, let me say it again, this matter ends here."

"If you insist on making a fuss, then I can only have someone invite you out of the banquet."

Harvey Weinstein snorted coldly, with a hint of anger, "Ryan Gosling, are you planning to start a war with me and Miramax Films!"

The tone was full of threats.

In this regard, Ryan laughed directly, "Harvey, you are too self-righteous. Neither you nor Miramax Films in your mouth are worthy of being the opponent of Orion Films."

"If you really want to go to war, you can let Eisner speak for himself."

A few years ago, he might still have some scruples.

But with the current influence of Orion Films, it has long surpassed Wayne Brothers and Miramax Films.

To put it bluntly, Miramax Films is not worthy of being the opponent of Orion Films.

It is true that Harvey Weinstein can command the wind and rain in the independent film circle, but in commercial films, any film produced by Orion Films can make him far behind.

For Disney and Eisner, this sentence is about the same.

Harvey Weinstein's face was livid, his eyes glanced at Ryan, and then fell on Keira Knightley.

Keira Knightley panicked like a frightened little rabbit, and the consequences of offending Harvey Wayans were definitely not something she could afford.
