Chapter 408 [Spider-Man 3] Strong but not lasting

As April comes to an end, May naturally arrives.

The most popular summer vacation of the year in North America has also begun.

It's like taking turns to be the boss.

The first hit of last year's summer vacation was Paramount's "Mission: Impossible 3"; the first hit of the summer break the year before last was 3th Century Fox's "Star Wars: Episode III"; The first shot was fired by Warner's [Troy].

The first shot of this year’s summer vacation is Columbia Pictures’ turn.

And Columbia also directly released [Spider-Man 3] without any ceremony.

5 month 3 day.

[Spider-Man 2.88], with an investment of US$3 million, held a grand premiere at the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.

Zhang Nan naturally cannot be absent.

After walking on the red carpet, he was once again pestered by Columbia President Clive Sander.

"Zhang, I know you are a little resistant to the [Spider-Man] project, so I specially asked the project department to develop the [Venom] project. Whether it is a fixed salary or a semi-fixed and half-share, the cooperation conditions are up to you." Clay Fusander promoted to Zhang Nan sincerely.

Clive Sander was really worried.

Because compared to Universal, which has [Jurassic World], Warner, which has the main story of [Harry Potter] and [Voldemort] spin-offs, Disney, which has the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series and cartoons, and just ended [Star Wars]. 007th Century Fox, which has the series, MGM, which has seen the rise of the [[-]] series, and Paramount, which has yet to announce its brand name, but is expected to be very big, [Transformers].

After Columbia Pictures lost the [Spider-Man] series, it really has no special series.

There is an urgent need for a backbone series that can maintain the company's stock price.

"I'll think it over."

Faced with such sincerity from Columbia Pictures, Zhang Nan couldn't refuse directly, so she had to give a vague response first.

In fact, it's not that Zhang Nan doesn't want to cooperate with Columbia Pictures. After all, the conditions offered by Columbia are already quite good.

It’s actually 2008 soon, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to begin to rise.

This [Venom] IP from Columbia Pictures is really a bit embarrassing.

Because of a very simple thing.

He starred in [Venom], so it would be hard to make a cameo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

After all, although both belong to the same Marvel IP, just like heretics are more hateful than heretics, the same Marvel IP is in the hands of different companies, so there will naturally be some conflict.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has produced more than 2023 movies as of 30 and has grossed nearly 300 billion U.S. dollars at the global box office.

Even if it’s even half of it, it will have a box office appeal of more than 150 billion US dollars.

Such a large amount of box office appeal cannot be ignored even by Zhang Nan.

When Clive Sander heard Zhang Nan's answer, he was currently at the premiere of [Spider-Man 3], so he didn't want to get entangled too much, so he left after just a few words.

……

Soon.

After some routine procedures, the screening of [Spider-Man 3] began.

Compared with the previous two films, Spider-Man faces three times as many enemies in this film - the Green Goblin, Venom, and Homicide.In terms of quantity, Spider-Man is still a little less interesting than Ip Man. After all, Ip Man opens his mouth to hit ten, and the number of enemies is three times that of Spider-Man and he still turns a corner.

But in terms of quality, ten karate neon warriors combined together would probably not be able to withstand the weakest little Green Goblin.

All in all, the visual effects of this film [Spider-Man 3] are quite good, giving people a rather stunning feeling.

Then the market also gave [Spider-Man 3] very good initial box office data.

……

Opening day Friday.

[Spider-Man 3] was screened in 4252 theaters in North America and directly took in a box office of 5984.1 million US dollars, accounting for 80.00% and [-]% of all box office on that day.

The data for a single venue reached US$14073 million, which was US$300 higher than the US$9057 for a single venue in March [[-] Spartans].

Then on Saturday the next day, the box office of "Spider-Man 3" dropped slightly, but it still collected another US$5133.6 million, accounting for 70.00% of the total box office on Saturday. The single-box box office still exceeded 12073 US dollars. US dollars, reaching [-] million US dollars.

In two days of release, the box office exceeded 1.1 million, and exceeded [-] million US dollars.

[Spider-Man 3] is more powerful than the [Harry Potter] series.

But it may be a comic book movie. If there is no cross-over, the stamina will not be long-lasting.

On Sunday, the third day of release, the single-day box office of "Spider-Man 3" dropped by nearly 3993.7 million U.S. dollars, with a single-day revenue of [-] million U.S. dollars.

When the time came to the next Monday, the single-day box office of "Spider-Man 3" plummeted by nearly 3000 million U.S. dollars again, falling to 1028.5 million U.S. dollars.

Then it was more than 800 million, more than 600 million, more than 500 million. It was not until the weekend came again that the single-day box office of "Spider-Man 3" continued to exceed [-] million US dollars.

Then came another sharp drop.

Then... on May 5th, [Shrek 18] came, giving [Spider-Man 3] a critical blow after it lost its upward momentum, making it unable to maintain a single-day revenue of tens of millions of dollars over the weekend. The box office.

At this time, the overall box office data of [Spider-Man 3] can basically be predicted.

1.5 million US dollars in the first week, more than 8200 million US dollars in the second week, and 4000 million US dollars in the third week.

各大票房预测机构给【蜘蛛侠3】定了一个3亿至4亿美金的北美票房预测，8亿至9亿美金的全球票房预测。

In fact, the final box office results of Spider-Man 3 did fall within this range - US$3.36 million in North America and US$8.98 million globally.

Zhang Nan estimates that Columbia Pictures in the original time and space abandoned the original Spider-Man Tobey Maguire.

The superficial reason is that Tobey Maguire's asking price is getting higher and higher.

But the more important reason is the box office of the [Spider-Man] trilogy, from the first one with 8.21 million US dollars, to the second one with 7.84 million US dollars, and then with the third one with 8.98 million US dollars.

The [Spider-Man] series has always been one of the super series films that has never exceeded the global box office level of one billion US dollars. However, the production cost of the [Spider-Man] series is increasing year by year.

From the initial production fee of 1.39 million US dollars, to the production fee of 2 million US dollars, and to the current production fee of 2.88 million US dollars.

Costs are rising, box office revenue has not improved much, and the leading actors are asking for higher and higher prices, so Columbia Pictures will ruthlessly end the "Spider-Man" trilogy.

But these have little to do with Zhang Nan.

Because Zhang Nan has now joined the cast of the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] spin-off project.
