Chapter 377 "Spawn" Box Office Failure (Earth)

The North American box office statistics for the third week of September are as follows:
"Superman: Legacy," $8600 million.

"How to Train Your Dragon" live-action, $6100 million.

"Blade 4," $5900 million.

"Spawn," $5600 million.

……

"Heavenly Visitor," $3500 million.

……

"Superman: Legacy" is directed by James Gunn, the director who once directed "Silver Guard 1" and "Silver Guard 3". The latest IP film is off to a good start and is expected to hit around $7 million at the global box office.

The live-action version of "How to Train Your Dragon" was produced by Universal Pictures, and online reviews praised its cast as better than "The Little Mermaid".
The male and female protagonists "Little Hiccup" and "Astrid" are played by 16-year-old Mason Thames (Mason Thames) and 18-year-old Nico Parker (Nico Parker). The male and female protagonists picked up from the movie.

The well-chosen cast has received its due rewards, with $6100 million in the first week, and the global box office is expected to exceed 5 million.

"Blade Warrior 4", an R-rated film, the movie IP that Wesley Snipes dreamed of returning to, but did not throw an olive branch to him. Produced by Marvel, it represents that the role of "Blade Warrior" will Enter the Marvel Universe.

In the minds of many Americans, Blade Runner is the most influential superhero in the United States.

"Spawn" grossed $5600 million in its opening week.

What a pity.

If it weren't for the impact of the environmental turmoil, the box office of "Spawn" would be far more than the current box office, and it might be able to aspire to the weekly box office champion, then its huge investment of 2.3 million US dollars should have the possibility of recovering.

According to the current box office trend, the final box office of "Spawn" will not exceed 4 million, or even lower, and it will lose 8000 million to 1.2 million US dollars. From this point of view, it is a wise decision for Cullen House to withdraw.

But is it really wise?

Some media commented on this commercial investment, saying: "If "Spawn" does not lose the Chinese market and is not disturbed by environmental protection incidents, then it will reproduce the miracle of "Shang Qi 2". There is no problem with his ability. Could Jason Cullen have predicted this environmental disturbance? His retreat was a mistake in business decision-making, but it turned out that he was right."

The audience's evaluation of "Spawn" is also released:

"I don't understand it, but it looks good!"

"Cool!"

"The characters in it are all cool, but the plot is not very clear."

"I think it's a movie you can watch again."

……

Rachel, a reporter from THR, has been paying attention to Truman. This attention may be because she is the only one among all media reporters who has been given the opportunity to interview Truman twice. She is interested in this contradictory and mysterious Chinese. very big.

Rachel walked into Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles during the second week of the release of "Spawn", ready to enjoy this movie full of various "scandals".

When entering Warner Bros. Studios, Rachel saw a human-shaped adhesive trace on the reception desk, and a few pieces of green clothes left on it.

"An environmentalist." The conductor explained, "He was just dragged out by someone taught by CHIYU. He glued himself here at night, and it took a long time for other people to drag him down."

For the confrontation between environmentalists and CHIYU believers, the whole of Los Angeles, especially the major movie theaters, has become familiar with it. This battle seems to be very fierce, but it has little effect on the lives of ordinary Americans, because both sides are very silent and go their own way. , like two natural rules walking in the city, everyone is happy to watch the excitement.

As for the news media and the police department, they are not willing to deal with these bad things at all. As long as there is no violence, they will ignore it.

"Oh." Rachel nodded, "I want a copy of "Spawn" at 19 o'clock."

While the conductor was selling tickets for Rachel, Rachel noticed another movie, A Guest from Paradise.

"Aren't they boycotting this?" Rachel asked casually.

"Which one?"

""Heaven's Guest", which is also directed and starred by Truman, all the actors copied "Spawn", they don't resist this?" Rachel asked.

"Of course not. They are boycotting "Rebirth", but they have no objection to "Heaven." The conductor said with a smile.

Didn't realize that Truman produced two movies at the same time...Rachel thought.

……

Rachel took her seat.

She observed the seats in the theater, and the attendance rate was basically around [-]%, which was not very good.

The impact of the environmental turmoil on "Spawn" is obvious even in Los Angeles, where the resistance to environmentalists is the most fierce. One can imagine how much the box office of "Spawn" will be disturbed in other states in the United States and even European countries. "Cut in half" is not an exaggeration.

But why is that environmentalist staring at Spawn?

Is it really because he didn't learn much, so he was illiterate?
Light and shadow are projected on the screen.

The movie begins.

Rachel collected her thoughts and focused on the screen in front of her.

……

This movie is not "Spawn 2", but a remake of "Spawn", so the plot does not have to inherit the above, but starts again.

The film begins with a calm sea without waves.

A pirate ship is stuck here.

There is no wind.

All sails hang down.

Even if the pirates have traveled all over the world, where there is not even a breeze, they can only desperately beg for the mercy of gods or demons.

In order to get out of this desperate situation, they began to perform the bloodiest sacrifice of the pirates, creating blood altars through fighting and killing.

The pirates were divided into two camps to fight each other, with axes slashing their faces, and daggers gouging out eyeballs. The bloody scene was filmed extremely cruelly, full of the savage atmosphere of muscle collision.

When the last two survivors were left, they were covered in blood and wrestled with the most primitive means. At this moment, a breeze brushed their cheeks, and the person holding each other's eyeballs stared keenly at the sky, and then became excited. roared.

The camera focuses on the eyeball he holds in his hand.

Instantly travel through time and space.

Al Simmons, played by Truman, wakes up from a doze, the camera stays for a few seconds on the eyeball-shaped tattoo on the back of his hand, and then a third voice comes in.

"EL (Al), you are in charge of this case."

In the whole scene, a dozen police officers are sitting in an office, and the person who is talking is Jason Wynn, EL's immediate boss.

"Oh...okay." EL was obviously confused, but agreed anyway.

"Repeat the gist of the case," Jason Whan said.

"Fuck all the fucking bad guys!" EL swears, and all the cops laugh, but Jason Whan is clearly displeased.
