In the afternoon, Ryan and Natalie-Portman left the room together and went to the restaurant downstairs of the hotel for dinner, as if nothing had happened.
In the next few days, the crew will finish filming the remaining scenes.
A little slower than expected.
During the period, Ryan also took time to visit the crew of "Dangerous" and invited everyone to have dinner with the crew of "Spider-Man".
In late August, the crew took a flight back to the United States, rested in Los Angeles for a few days, and set off for New York again.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", which was released in early May, has been screened for 4 months, and the film's global box office reached 9.2 billion US dollars.
Of course, the release scale of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has been reduced many times, and has dropped below 1,000 cinemas.
This film will be officially released from North America around December at the end of the year, and it should be a little later from the global release.
In the next few months, it is expected to earn tens of millions of dollars from the global box office market.
As for whether it can break through the $1 billion box office mark!
This depends on luck.
In this regard, Ryan did not hold much hope. Based on the box office trend of "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", North America can still earn about 10 million to 20 million US dollars, and the overseas box office market will have more. But not too much.
And "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is close to $80 million away from the $1 billion box office, and it is almost impossible to exceed the $1 billion box office mark.
Of course, Ryan was not disappointed at all. The box office data of 9.2 billion U.S. dollars was not only much higher than the original version, but also allowed Orion Pictures to make a lot of money.
It can be said that just based on the revenue brought by one film "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", the revenue figures of Orion Pictures this year can rank among the top among Hollywood film companies.
"X-Men", which was released in July, has also been released for more than a month. It has long passed its hot release period. The North American box office of the film reached 19.6 billion US dollars, the overseas box office reached 16.5 billion US dollars, and the global box office reached 36.1 billion US dollars.
However, as a superhero film, the box office of "X-Men" has fallen very fast, far exceeding that of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", and even faster than general commercial films.
This is the disadvantage of superhero movies. The comic readers and fan groups in the early stage are consumed too quickly, and the box office of the middle and late movies is inevitably a little weak.
However, the global box office performance of 36.1 billion US dollars is enough to meet the expectations of Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures.
Even counting the high publicity investment, the film has brought in a lot of money.
The main source of income for any superhero film has never been the box office, but peripheral copyrights and derivative products.
The income brought by the peripheral copyrights and derivative products of "X-Men" is higher than the box office income of the film.
Among them, Comcast's limited television network paid a high price to obtain the TV adaptation copyright of "X-Men", and plans to prepare to shoot a superhero TV series, and invite several main actors in the film to appear as guest stars in the future in the video.
In addition, "Black Hawk Down", which was released earlier, has reached the end of its screening period, and there are only more than 100 movie theaters still showing it. If there is no accident, it will be released from North America next month.
The North American box office of this film is fixed at about 15.8 billion US dollars, the overseas box office is 78.63 million US dollars, and the global box office is 23.7 billion US dollars.
Compared with the scale of investment, the overall income of this film is not bad.
The overseas box office is not high, and the income from peripheral copyrights and merchandise is not very high, so it can only be considered passable.
In general, the three big-budget films produced by Orion Films this year have all been successful.
"Congratulations, if "Spider-Man" is released and has another success..."
Cautiously riding on the horse, Helen looked at Ryan who was very skillful on the horse, "Your superhero movie project will be a big success."
The big sales of "X-Men" do not fully represent the success of the superhero film project. With a box office score of 36.1 billion US dollars, it can only be said that "X-Men" has made a good start.
Right now, Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures need a film similar to "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" that can achieve sensational results on a global scale.
Let Marvel Comics superhero-themed films become one of Hollywood's mainstream commercial films.
Ryan rode on the horse and drove the horse around Helen, "Helen, your riding skills don't seem to be very good."
Helen gave Ryan a dissatisfied look, and said angrily, "I didn't grow up on a farm."
"And what's going on with you and Natalie?"
There are no impenetrable walls in Hollywood.
Besides, Ryan and Natalie-Portman did not deliberately hide anything.
Speaking of Natalie Portman, Ryan showed embarrassment, did not answer the question, but began to change the subject, "Why do you have time to come to New York!"
Helen snorted softly, and didn't continue to ask, "Next week, Charlie will be participating in a talk show, and I need to come over to deal with some things."
Charlize Theron not only starred in G.I. Ops: The Rise of Cobra, but also starred in the action-comedy The Pageant Undercover.
It tells the story of a beautiful police detective who incarnates as an undercover agent and lurks in the Miss America pageant to fight wits with criminals.
Charlize Theron herself is a model, and she is also an action actress. It is not difficult to star in "Beauty Undercover".
"Warner Bros. has scheduled this film for Christmas!" Ryan asked, touching the horse under him.
"It should be." Helen thought for a while, and said, "Unless Warner Bros. plans to release it in the summer next year, the only option is to release it during Christmas."
This is a horse farm on the outskirts of New York.
Located above a small town, the North Salem Horse Farm is full of beautiful lawns and over 100 miles of protected bridle trails for the exclusive use of riders.
After trotting around the racecourse, Ryan simply let go of the rein and let the horses go for a walk. Helen was very envious.
Growing up on a farm, Ryan's riding skills may not be very professional, at least there is absolutely no problem with proficiency.
"You are worried about the release of "Beauty Undercover"!" Ryan understood Helen's worry very well.
Charlize Theron is considered to be the most famous and promising female star under the Star Company. In the future, she will reach the level of Julia Roberts and join the $20 million box office club.
But she's certainly one of the top female stars in Hollywood.
Therefore, the release of "Beauty Undercover" is related to whether Charlize-Theron can prove her box office appeal.
Box office appeal is what Hollywood studios value most.
Besides, this is the first time that Charlize Theron has supported a film independently, and the success or failure of the release is very critical.
Charlize Theron is only one of the two leading actors in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The plot of "Beauty Undercover" revolves around Charlize Theron alone.
"Somewhat."
Helen nodded, and said: "Once "Beauty Undercover" is released successfully, then I can absolutely call out a basic film salary of 20 million US dollars for Charlie for the next sequel."
"Warner Bros. intends to make a sequel internally?" Ryan was somewhat surprised.
The former Warner Brothers did not directly shoot a sequel film, but it took several years before they went back and filmed a sequel film. The global box office barely reached 100 million US dollars, which is not very successful.
"It's just a preliminary intention."
In front of the stable, Helen got off her horse and handed over the reins to the staff on the side. "The crew revised the script for Charlie and deliberately added a lot of action scenes. We don't rule out plans to make a sequel in the future."
Warner Bros.' decision to make a sequel is premised on the success of The Pageant undercover.
In this way, Charlize Theron ~www.novelbuddy.com~, the indispensable leading actor in the film, can call out a base salary of 20 million US dollars.
Even if it's only $20 million in one film, the rest of the film's salary, although it will increase, will definitely not reach $20 million.
But for Charlize Theron and the Star Brokerage Company, it is still a very important opportunity.
A female star who has received a salary of 20 million U.S. dollars must be included in the annals of Hollywood history.
In the future, even if she lives on her laurels, it will be enough for Charlize Theron to maintain her status as a first-line female star.
Ryan nodded. It seems that due to the addition of Charlize-Theron, "Beauty Undercover" has undergone a lot of changes.
"Don't worry, even if the box office of "Beauty Undercover" is not satisfactory, Charlie still has "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Orion Films received a very good script a while ago. If you have time, you can ask Charlie to read it."
