With the arrival of the first working day, the publicity of "X-Men" has once again increased, and the crew members have gone to major cities in North America to promote, attracting the attention of a large number of readers and fans of the original comics.
At the same time, the overseas release of the film is also in an orderly manner. It is expected that this Friday will be successively logged into many countries in Europe and South America, followed by Asia, the Middle East and other countries.
In addition, theater companies did not reduce the screening scale and screening rate of "X-Men" because of the arrival of weekdays, but still chose to continue to increase.
These are the keys to keeping a film's box office stable.
However, "X-Men" is just a commercial popcorn film, and the box office direction is unlikely to be like "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger".
On Monday of the first working day, the film earned $7.86 million in a single day, with a drop of up to 56%.
Although it is not as good as "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger", it is also a very good box office result.
In the next few days, the box office continued to decline, with a box office of $7.01 million on Tuesday, a box office of $6.33 million on Wednesday, and a box office of $5.86 million on Thursday.
After four working days, a total of US$27.06 million in box office revenue was achieved.
So far, the cumulative box office of "X-Men" in North America has reached US$96.09 million.
If nothing unexpected happens, the video will definitely be able to break through the $100 million mark in three days of the weekend.
Faced with the box office success of "X-Men", the media's voices criticizing Ryan have long disappeared with the popularity of the film.
Only some film critics with a bitter tone remained, believing that Ryan only has commercial value and no artistic value in his eyes.
The opposite is.
In the eyes of young people and most Hollywood practitioners, box office numbers can often represent everything.
Ryan ignored the media changes. He had returned to Sydney, Australia and was involved in the filming of the "Spider-Man" crew.
The success of "X-Men" is just the beginning.
"Spider-Man" is the key to completely detonating the Marvel comics superhero film.
With the revenue from the original Spider-Man, the cost of acquiring the copyrights of Marvel Comics and a number of superheroes can be completely offset.
Even, it can offset all the early investments of Orion Pictures in the entire superhero film plan.
On a street in Sydney, three high-definition cameras are placed at three different angles, pointing the lens at Toby Maguire in the car and Cliff Robertson who plays Uncle Spider-Man.
Ryan personally operated one of the cameras to shoot close-ups of Cliff Robertson, while the other camera was to shoot close-ups of Toby Maguire.
The remaining main camera is responsible for shooting the entire picture.
The upcoming scenes are very important in the entire film.
This is the last conversation between Peter Parker, Spider-Man, and Uncle Ben Parker.
Here, Ben Parker told Spider-Man, the classic line "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", changed Peter Parker's life and gave birth to a superhero Spider-Man.
"Your transformation over the past few years..."
Cliff Robertson looked at Toby Maguire and said in an instructive tone: "It will determine what kind of person you will be in the future, be careful not to go astray."
"The person who fought with you may be his fault, he deserved it, but you hit him..."
"It doesn't mean you are right, you have the right to hit him."
"Remember: the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility." Cliff Robertson said very seriously.
Faced with the teachings of Cliff Robertson, Toby Maguire didn't take it seriously and said perfunctorily: "Are you afraid that I will become a hooligan? Don't worry!"
"It's not what you think, I'll solve it myself, don't always preach to me."
At this point in the filming, Ryan never stopped and allowed Toby, Maguire and Cliff and Robertson to play.
"I don't want to preach to you, and I'm not your father either."
Before Cliff Robertson finished speaking, Toby Maguire interrupted him with a slight impatient tone, "Then don't pretend to be my father to teach you!"
Cliff Robertson nodded in a down-and-out expression, "Yes, you're right."
Until the conversation between the two ended.
"stop!"
Ryan shouted, stood up and said to Toby Maguire: "You were not excited just now, I need you to react more strongly."
"Also, Cliff, your final expression is not handled well."
"Let's take a five-minute break and we'll do it again."
This is the third time to shoot.
For a commercial film, it will be passed long ago.
However, Ryan felt that it was not perfect enough and he needed a classic shot.
After five minutes of rest, the crew started filming again.
Outside the shooting scene, a man with a beard looked at the crew's shooting scene and said in surprise: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?"
"This is the turning point of Spider-Man in the script!" he turned around and looked at Sophia Coppola and asked.
"This is just the beginning." Sofia Coppola retracted her gaze and said, "Next, Cliff Robertson will be shot dead by a robber."
"A robber just released by Spider-Man," she added, saying, "It's a great plot."
This scene will be directed by her.
"It seems that Ryan is going to shoot another classic video." Francis Coppola shrugged.
He never doubted Ryan's directing level.
Even, very appreciated.
"You don't have to come here in person."
Looking at the father in front of him, Sofia Coppola said helplessly: "I will say hello to Roman about it."
Roman Coppola, Sofia Coppola's brother, Frances Coppola's eldest son, and Frances Coppola's most troublesome person.
Nicholas Cage, who also has the support of the Coppola family, has long become a first-line Hollywood star. His daughter Sofia Coppola is one of the senior executives of Orion Pictures and will soon direct a debut work.
Roman Coppola is fooling around all day long.
"Orion Pictures invests in multiple films every year, and Roman can choose one of the crew to join."
"For example, "X-Men 2" and "The Shocking Cannibals"." Sofia Coppola said tentatively.
The crew of "X-Men 2" is one of the important filming projects of Orion Pictures, and the producer of the crew of "The Cannibal" is Francis Coppola.
However, with her understanding of Roman Coppola, she obviously would not easily join the crew of "The Cannibal" and became an associate director, and was within the attention of Frances Coppola all day long.
"The X-Men 2 crew is not suitable for him."
Francis Coppola shook his head and said, "I hope he will join your crew."
With the connections of the Coppola family, it is not difficult to arrange Roman Coppola to join some Hollywood crews.
However, Frances Coppola was not very relieved to Roman Coppola, and someone needed to watch him.
Obviously, Sofia Coppola, as her sister, is the most suitable candidate.
"Roman won't agree."
"I won't agree either." Sofia Coppola quickly refused. She didn't want to be in the crew with Roman Coppola.
"This is also what your mother means." Francis Coppola did not wait for Sofia Coppola to agree, and stepped towards Ryan who was walking towards him.
"Hi, long time no see Old Coppola."
Ryan hugged Frances Coppola enthusiastically and said, "It seems that I need to give Sophia a few days off and let her accompany you in Sydney for a good relaxation."
Ryan respects Francis Coppola in front of him very much.
He has received a lot of help from the Coppola family before.
"Ryan, you seem to have forgotten."
Francis Coppola let go of his hands and said with a smile: "The shooting location of "The Cannibal" is also in Australia."
"I don't have time to wander around with Sophia."
As a film producer, he could not let the crew film without regard.
"Shocking Cannibal"!
Ryan was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't remember changing the shooting location of "The Cannibal" from California to Australia.
Well, he admitted that he hadn't cared about a low-cost horror film that invested only $10 million.
The investment scale of "The Cannibal" is not very large, and the global box office of the original film was only $59.37 million.
Although this film has been successful in business, it is not an important project for Ryan and Orion Pictures, so naturally they will not care too much.
"I, I admit, I've been busy recently."
Ryan had no choice but to spread his hands and explained: "I didn't care much about the progress of "The Scared Cannibals."
"Then you know now." Francis Coppola naturally wouldn't mind, and he knew very well that with the scale of investment in "The Cannibal", it was just an irrelevant small project for Orion Pictures.
After chatting casually for a few words, Ryan went back to continue shooting, and there was another shot that needed to be completed before dark.
Chapter completed!
