A theater in Los Angeles.

Many movie audiences, including men and women, old and young, have too many movies to choose from, and for a while, many people fell into the entanglement of choice.

"What movie should I watch?"

Several young people in their 20s are now controversial about which movie to choose.

"What's the point of confusion about this? To watch a movie, you will naturally choose the most popular movies at the moment. As for now, what movies can be more popular than "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?" A young man with a cockscomb laughed.

A blond girl nodded and echoed: "It's true. Many of my classmates have watched the Harry Potter movie and said it's very good."

After the words came, several companions who accompanied him nodded in response.

During the Christmas period, it is a collection of good movies, and there is absolutely no shortage of high-quality movies, but the leader is naturally "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

One of the movies such as "Hundred Percent Man", "Transformation of King", "Love Chocolate" and others, is severely suppressed by "Harry Potter".

As of today, the Harry Potter movie has been released in North America for 10 days, achieving a box office of US$145 million.

Its North American box office exceeds $300 million is obvious.

but......

On December 22, 2000, the movie "Survival of the Desert Island" starring two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks was released in North America!

Many moviegoers, film review agencies, theater companies, and film companies all believe that "the Harry Potter movie, its biggest competitor during the Christmas season."

20th Century Fox Film, the producer of "Survival of the Desert Island", is also full of confidence in the box office performance of the film.

Murdoch personally went on the stage and said to the media: "Survival of the Desert Island took two years to create, costing $90 million, and the publicity budget was as high as $70 million. Even compared with Harry Potter, it is not much inferior."

Shea, the owner of New Line Films, also jumped out and said: "Survival in the Wild" will naturally win the recognition of the market. Don't forget that the director of the film is Robert Zemegis!"

Robert Zemegis is a well-known Hollywood director.

His films directed by him are "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Who Framed Roger the Rabbit", "Forrest Gump" and other films, which are famous classic films.

"When I watch a movie, I first see who the director is? The director is Robert Zemegis, that's fine. The movies he knows are of guaranteed quality."

This is the words of a movie audience.

Looking at the Hollywood film market in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the director is naturally a behind-the-scenes worker compared to the actors in the camera, and it is difficult to gain fame. However, when the director reaches the level of Robert Zemegis, he himself has the box office guarantee.

"I also think the box office of "Survival of the Desert Island" may surpass "Harry Potter"."

The person who said this was Harvey Weinstein, president of Miramax Films.

Harvey Weinstein is a senior producer.

Although his status in Hollywood cannot be compared with Zhuke, Redstone, Murdoch and others, his professionalism in film is beyond doubt.

He said: "Tom Hanks is now one of the best actors in the world. His films have never lacked fans and fans. With the excellent production, the publisher is 20th Century Fox Pictures. Well, I can't think of the possibility of it failing."

For a time, the entire Hollywood colleagues sang praises to the movie "Survival of the Desert Island".

really!

With the 20th Century Fox, the number of theaters that opened for "Survival of the Desert Island" movies reached 3,500 in one fell swoop.

The number of 3,500 painting theaters!

It is much stronger than the movie "100% Men" released by Paramount Pictures not long ago.

However.......

When the box office results of "Survival in Desert Island" were released on the first weekend, many people from the same industry were stunned.

$30.12 million!

That’s right, the box office results of the movie “Survival of the Desert Island” only exceeded $30 million in the first weekend!

"What?!"

"this......."

"No way? This is the Christmas schedule!"

"Really speaking, the box office of more than $30 million in the first three days of the first weekend is already a very good box office result, but it is a work created by Robert Zemegis and Tom Hanks! It shouldn't be just such a little box office?"

"Oh my god!"

"The box office of "Survival of the Desert Island" is almost $30 million in the first three days, which is more than $80 million in the first three days of "Harry Potter"? What's so different between the two?"

Many people were stunned.

Shea, the owner of New Line Film, who was always jealous of Zhuke's achievements, almost glared out when he heard the news.

"Damn Zhuke, this guy is so lucky. God won't open his eyes!"

Shay was about to go crazy jealously.

Media tycoon Murdoch is not in much better mood at this moment.

"I had this worry before, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big?" Murdoch shook his head with a wry smile.

Similarly, Tom Hanks, the two-time Oscar winner, couldn't help but say bitterly: "It's impossible for a person to succeed all the time. I never worry about failure. However, I didn't expect that I lost to a group of children."

you do not say!

Many of the characters in the Harry Potter movie are just a group of children!

FedEx.

"It's amazing!"

Fred Smith, the founder and boss of FedEx, and the super rich man with a net worth of over 10 billion, looked at the newspaper and said with a smile: "We spent $20 million in sponsorship fees for the movie "Survival of the Desert Island". The most important thing is to use 1,200 couriers to participate in this movie, and in the end, they lost to the movie "Harry Potter"?!"

Fred Smith was smiling, but the group of people in front of him couldn't laugh.

The money was spent and the people were used. Even the chairman Fred Smith, who made a guest appearance in the movie himself, still lost.

Think about it, man, no one will be happy if it is changed.

“Hahaha~”

Fred Smith laughed heartily and said, "Juke Wald's movies are well made, so we can lean towards Wald Pictures in terms of advertising in the future, and there is nothing wrong with that."

.........

At this moment, Hollywood's large and small film companies understood a fact.

The overlord of the Christmas schedule in 2000 is "Harry Potter".

In the words of Disney Chairman Michael Eisner: "Even Tom Hanks can't win this battle. Who else can curb the strong rise of "Harry Potter" this Christmas time?"

In fact, the same is true.

After Christmas, Hollywood will release many excellent films one after another.

but!

Whether it is "Drug Network", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and other movies, they are all Olympian movies, which are niche movies that cannot impact the box office of "Harry Potter". Moreover, these movies will be released at the end of December and will only be released on a small scale.

Well, after all, these movies are Ao movies!

The second update of "" is given.
