The first film "Charlie's Angels" costs $93 million, the North American box office is $125 million, the overseas box office is $138 million, and the global box office is $264 million.
The filming cost of the second "Charlie's Angels 2" rose to US$120 million, the box office in North America fell to US$100 million, the overseas box office slightly rose to US$158 million, and the global box office was US$258 million.
The producer of the film, Sony Pictures, believes that the "Charlie's Angels" series has lost its value of adaptation, and the audience is aesthetically exhausted by the three sexy and beautiful women, resulting in the appearance of the third sequel.
Of course, the increasing proportion of pay and box office share is also one of the reasons why Sony Pictures is.
Ryan has no good idea about this.
Films with women as the protagonists generally have two shooting styles, one is to attract female audiences, and the other is a normal commercial video.
The original version of "Charlie's Angels" is a thorough commercial film, with the audience mainly men, not a feminist film.
Ryan doesn't want to change this.
To put it bluntly, "Charlie's Angels" is a sexy action film that focuses on women and has changed too much and will only backfire.
As for how to shoot the third sequel!
The best way is to let time gradually forget everything.
First shoot two films, then temporarily freeze the shooting plan.
After a few years, the audience will gradually forget the first two films, and then Orion Pictures will restart the shooting plan for the third sequel.
People always like nostalgia, and there are new generations of audiences appearing.
In addition, the crew of "The Walking Dead 2" has begun filming.
The crew of "Chicago" has also entered the filming stage and is expected to be released at the end of next year.
The other sequels such as "X-Men 2", "Tomb Raider 3" and the shooting projects left by MGM are also progressing steadily, and Ryan doesn't need to worry about it.
A very strange phenomenon can be seen here. Almost all films planned to be filmed by Orion Pictures are adapted movies, and there is no original movie.
This is also a common phenomenon that has gradually emerged in Hollywood since the 20th century. The risks brought by adapted movies and sequel movies are far lower than those of original movies.
Even Orion Pictures has no plans to shoot original films with big investments in the short term.
In early June, the crew of "Spider-Man 2" came to New Zealand and officially started filming.
The reason why I chose to shoot continuously instead of waiting for the first "Spider-Man" to be released before starting to prepare for the sequel filming.
It's mainly because of the actor's pay.
The three actors in the film run through the three films. If filmed one by one, Orion Pictures will inevitably pay a high salary and box office share.
However, choosing to shoot continuously like the Lord of the Rings trilogy can avoid rising pay.
The production cost of the first original "Spider-Man" was only US$139 million, but it rose directly to US$200 million in the second "Spider-Man 2", and the shooting cost of the third "Spider-Man 3" was as high as US$258 million.
In addition to increasing the special effects costs, almost all the remaining money is spent on the pay.
On the first day of coming to the Wellington Studio, the crew faced the siege of many reporters, and Ryan could see at least several media reporters from several countries.
This is undoubtedly the impact of the global sales of "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger" and "Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers Cavalry".
"Spider-Man 2 will not interact with the characters in the X-Men series for the time being, but will connect the plot of the first Spider-Man."
"This will be a unique superhero movie, completely different from "X-Men", "Batman", and "Superman".
"The future Orion Pictures does not rule out creating a universe that belongs to Marvel Comics."
Faced with a number of media reporters, Ryan controlled the topic on "Spider-Man" and refused to answer other irrelevant questions.
Even a lot of surprising news was revealed in the words.
A unique superhero video!
Orion Pictures is preparing to create a universe world belonging to Marvel Comics in the future!
The reporters present were very excited and couldn't help but look at Marvel Studios president Avi Arad.
As we all know, Marvel Studios is mainly responsible for filming superhero films.
"Orion Pictures and Marvel Studios will not be limited to "Spider-Man", "X-Men", "Blade Warrior" and other films."
"In the future, we will create a more grand superhero film shooting plan." Avi Arad revealed a big and small piece of news.
Although the Avengers plan was not clearly stated, it also vaguely reminded of the ambitions of Orion Pictures and Marvel Studios.
The future will not only be "Spider-Man", "X-Men", "Blade" and other films, but also more superheroes will be brought to the screen.
In fact, the universe of Marvel Comics is not a new view. Marvel Comics proposed the concept of the universe world many years ago.
However, Marvel Comics proposes the comic universe world, while Ryan talks about the movie universe world.
The two are essentially different.
Once the universe of the movie Marvel comics was proposed, and Orion Pictures announced that the future members of the X-Men will shoot movies separately, it soon attracted the attention of a large number of media and Hollywood people.
"A universe that belongs to Marvel Comics?"
In the Warner Bros. headquarters office, Dan Rogan put down the newspaper in his hand and muttered to himself: "Does Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures want to create a superhero universe? Or the X-Men universe!"
"Even, the Avengers!"
This idea is not only unique to Marvel Comics, but DC Comics also has a similar concept of the universe world.
However, this idea was naturally completely different when Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures proposed, or Marvel Comics proposed.
Ryan Gosling doesn't say anything casually, his every move represents the attitude of Orion Pictures and Marvel Studios.
Dan Rogen fell into deep thought, thinking about what was hidden behind this idea.
Whether it is the superhero's universe, the X-Men's universe, or even the Avengers.
This will be a huge plan. Perhaps since the acquisition of Marvel Comics, Orion Pictures has always had a very huge plan.
At this time, the phone on the worker's desk rang. Dan Rogan came to his senses, reached out to pick up the phone and asked, "How is it!"
Soon the voice of the secretary came from the phone, "Boss, you guessed it right, Orion Pictures does have a huge shooting plan."
"Only a few senior executives know about the specific plan content, and they can't find out any useful information."
"I get it." Dan Rogan hung up the phone, his face very heavy, "What's the point of Ryan Gosling?"
But one thing is obvious, no matter what the specific content of this plan is, it will be a plan that will shock Hollywood.
"Even if Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures are ambitious to build the Avengers, it will not have any impact on Warner Bros.."
Dan Rogan seemed to be talking to himself, "DC comics also have many superheroes."
"Since Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures can build the Avengers, we can also build the Justice League."
Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, the three big names of Justice are still above the Avengers...
Thinking of this, Dan Rogen was in a hot heart and wished Orion Film could launch the Avengers plan as soon as possible so that he could convince other senior executives and the board of directors to create the Justice League plan.
Of course, it is not easy to build the Justice League, and it cannot be hasty to establish a project. Instead, it requires a long planning process, just like what Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures are doing now.
At that moment, Dan Rogan picked up the phone and called the secretary, "Follow the every move of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" videos."
"I should notify me as soon as possible about Marvel Studios."
“In addition, I plan to attend the premiere of Spider-Man at the end of the year.”
If he wasn't afraid of being rejected by Orion Pictures, he would rather participate in the internal screening of "Spider-Man".
Ryan didn't expect that just the idea of a cosmic world made Dan Rogan think of the Avengers plan and even wanted to promote Warner Bros. Justice League plan.
However, even if Ryan knew, he wouldn't care.
Warner Bros. is not Orion Pictures and Marvel Studios, and Dan Rogan is only one of the top management. Not only does it need to convince the rest of Warner Bros.’s senior management and board of directors, but also Time Warner and DC Comics.
What's more, the entire plan cannot be completed overnight, and it requires superhero videos to pave the way.
Not to mention Warner Bros., Orion Pictures has no plans to film the Avengers for the time being.
At the same time, the crew of "Spider-Man 2" officially began filming.
Since they were the original cast of the previous crew, there were almost no major changes except for a few actors, so there was naturally no running-in period.
Chapter completed!
