Chapter 723 [Batman v Superman] and [Captain America 3]

Mid to late March.

North America, [Voldemort 3] crew.

In the original time and space, Warner Pictures also shot the sequel to the [Harry Potter] IP series - [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them] in 2016.

But now there is the "Voldemort" series starring the superstar Zhang Nan, and two movies have been filmed, both of which have exceeded the billion dollar threshold at the box office.

Even among them [Voldemort 2], the global box office exceeded 15 billion US dollars, reaching 16 billion US dollars.

So Warner Pictures will naturally not consider starting the novel adaptation project of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".

Because the author of the original novel "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is also JK Rowling, after she became famous, she received a lot of share of the movie adaptation project of her novel.

However, Warner Pictures' actions in 2016 were not only to produce this [Voldemort 3], but also to bring out DC Comics' well-known IP - Superman.

no way.

David Yates wanted to say this, but when he thought of Zhang Nan’s countless movies that had grossed over a billion dollars at the global box office, he shut his mouth. Then he changed his mind to another project with Zhang Nan. chat.

It can only be said that the Superman IP, which has been influential for many years, and the Batman IP, which has been blessed by Nolan, are quite big when they are brought together.

and so……

Let these two positive characters fight each other under the instigation of others. Although there is such a plot conflict, the audience seems really unhappy!
I can only say that there was a joke circulating on the Internet, and it is true - DC Films' biggest enemy is not Marvel Pictures, but Warner Pictures. Pig teammates are really more difficult to stand up to than their godly opponents.

So this time Warner Pictures not only brought out Superman, but also paired it with Batman and Wonder Woman, and launched a "Batman vs. Superman" project.

"So, Zhang, you are not optimistic about [Batman v Superman]?" David Yates, the director of [Voldemort 3], took advantage of a break in filming to chat with Zhang Nan.

Disney Pictures relied on the sentiment of the old IP "Star Wars" to earn US$2 billion in global box office, which really stimulated Warner Pictures.

3 month 20 day.

David Yates: “…”

Tell the truth.

It’s very difficult for any movie to hit the global box office of one billion US dollars, isn’t it?

Whether a movie can be a hit at the box office actually has little to do with plot design, it all depends on luck?
……

Because both Batman and Superman are actually positive characters.

Zhang Nan: "..." You really asked me about it.

So David Yates knows quite a lot about the [Captain America 3] project.

"As for the [Captain America 3] project, the plot seems to be about two positive characters fighting against each other! Zhang, what do you think?" David Yates said with some doubts.

Zhang Nan nodded: "I can't say that I'm not optimistic about it. I can only say that I think it's a bit difficult for this movie to cross the billion-dollar global box office threshold."

Zhang Nan is a little confused about this operation of Warner Pictures.

[Batman v Superman] has officially launched in North American theaters.

The Hollywood circle is big or small. Anyway, the top directors all know each other. Even if they don't know each other, they can still learn about other people's film projects through the people they know.

……

[Batman v Superman] grossed US$8155.8 million at the box office on its first day of premiere, accounting for % of the North American market that day.

However, the single-day box office of "Batman v Superman" dropped by more than 5065.7% the next day, closing at US$ million.

Then it continued to fall on the third day of release, with a box office of US$3379.1 million.

In the final three days of its first three days, "Batman v Superman" took in a box office of US$1.66 million, knocking off Summit Entertainment's "Divergent 3", which was released only last Thursday, and took the top spot in the North American single-week box office rankings. But the weakness of "Batman v Superman" has actually been shown in the box office trend in the first three days.

Just two days after the next week, the single-day box office data of "Batman v Superman" dropped to less than 10 million US dollars. For a popcorn movie whose core screening cycle is not long, that is Especially deadly.

But it's not over.

The box office trend of [Batman v Superman] is not good the next week here, but Marvel Pictures over there was not polite and moved [Captain America 3] to the Friday the week after [Batman v Superman] .

Without it.

The two families have been sworn enemies for many years. When they see their old rival become a drowned rat, they kick him a few times to make his stumble even more complete. What kind of sworn enemies are they?

Not to mention that Marvel Studios' advance schedule is a helpless operation.

Because Disney Pictures has decided to release "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", which Zhang Nan filmed last year, on the first day of the summer vacation in May.

And now it's mid-to-late March, and May is less than a month away.

Although "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" was a hit at the box office, it only hit the box office without Zhang Nan.

Now with Zhang Nan's "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", no one in the entire Hollywood and even the global film and television industry will underestimate this "Pirates of the Caribbean 6".

After all, Zhang Nan's deterrent power, which has never failed in these years, is really a bit too strong.

But Warner Pictures suffered a big blow here.

After hearing the news, the new president of Warner Pictures roared in the office for more than an hour.

……

4 month 1 day.

[Captain America 3] premiere.

Not only did Zhang Nan come to participate, but she also brought the director of [Voldemort 3] David Yates.

But it’s not Zhang Nan who brought it, but David Yates has long wanted to observe Marvel Studios’ movie universe plan up close.

After the completion of the main series of [Harry Potter], the only big project left by David Yates is the [Voldemort] series starring Zhang Nan.

But Zhang Nan not only has film contracts in the "Voldemort" series, but also has many other film contracts. If he can film a "Voldemort" in two or three years, it is considered a high frequency.

When he is idle, David Yates wants to find some projects to work on, so it would be a good choice to contact Marvel Studios, which is currently the most popular in Hollywood. However, David Yates has been working with Marvel before. There are not many personal connections in the film industry, so it is difficult to contact them directly.

"Donnie!"

Zhang Nan didn't care about David Yates' purpose. After walking on the red carpet and entering the screening room, he directly called out Robert Downey Jr., who had a proud look on his face.

"So happy, something good happened?" Zhang Nan asked curiously.

Robert Downey Jr. didn't hide it, and replied: "Marvel Studios wanted to start another superhero project called [Doctor Who], and asked me to make a cameo in it, so they gave me this number."

Robert Downey Jr. gestured with his index finger.

"Ten million US dollars?" Zhang Nan said a little surprised.

"It's ten minutes and ten million dollars."

Robert Downey Jr. corrected: "Zhang, I am now just like you, an actor who is paid by the minute."

"Uh...you're awesome."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan responded with a thumbs up.

After all, he can't say, if it weren't for me in this wave, you would have received a salary of US$1600 million at the box office in the project [Spider-Man: Homecoming]!
