Chapter 298: fight to win

"The Hangover" released the biggest Easter egg, and Daniel guest starred as a wedding singer"

The difference between the release version of "The Hangover" and the preview is that when Doug and others rushed back to the scene to attend the wedding, the very interesting singer changed the actor and was played by Daniel **** himself. . Of course, this was a surprise, and the previous Dan Feiner, a voice actor, disappeared.

Aronofsky's voice on the eve of "The Hangover" didn't have much of an impact on the film's first-day box office.

This low-cost R-rated film with a budget of 35 million was still on the market with 3,269 screens. It won 16.73 million on the first day and Friday, with a single screen contribution of 5,119 US dollars, ranking first in the airborne single-day box office list. There is no way to compare the popularity of "Social Network", but it is already a satisfactory number.

The next Saturday, it continued to drop 15.06 million, and it dropped slightly to 13.19 million on Sunday, and 44.97 million in the first three days of the first weekend. This figure shows that there is no suspense for "The Hangover" to break 100 million. Generally speaking, the box office of the first weekend accounts for the total box office. The proportion of people with a hangover is not very certain, but it is generally reasonable to be lower than 30%, and it may be as low as 15% if the trajectory is particularly good.

The "Black and White Matching of Boys and Girls", which was released at the same time, was starred by Ashton Kutcher - this cross-border genius who will appear in "Jobs" in the future, has attracted much attention in his other identity: a well-known angel investor in Silicon Valley. Of course, now he is still working **** his acting career.

The 40 million-dollar comedy, produced and distributed by Columbia, grossed just 7.6 million on its first day, less than half of "The Hangover." In the first three days of the first weekend, "Black and White Matching" only had just over 20 million, which was also less than half of the 44.97 million.

The two comedies, produced by DD Films and Columbia, have about the same investment, "The Hangover" is slightly lower at 5 million; they are released on the same day, and the cast is less well-known, but "Black and White" actor Bernie. Mark has been in Eleven Arhats and has his own talk show - much like Ed Helms. It's just that Bernie's show on Fox is a bit more popular, and on top of that, Ashton starred in New Line's "The Butterfly Effect" last year, relative to a $13 million budget. The box office results of nearly 60 million are already bright enough. So, not counting the guest star - Daniel Sandler's words, the cast of "Black and White" is still stronger than "The Hangover".

But the box office results are clear at a glance, "The Hangover" wins.

This seems to foreshadow a certain outcome.

"Before MGM finally announced the results, DD Pictures and Sony Columbia had an early contest. The same low-budget comedy "The Hangover" and "Boys and Girls Black and White" were released on the same day, but fans gave their own With a clear attitude, they don't seem to mind the intimidation 'accusations' that Daniel received before, and as always, they bought tickets to support the new work of DD Pictures. "The Hangover" scored 45 million in its first weekend, far better than "Black and White" A pitiful figure of 20 million. The latter may not lose money, but in the context of the former's huge profits, it seems somewhat sympathetic anyway.

However, does this indicate the final result of the MGM acquisition, that is, DD wins and Sony loses? In response, Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal, head of Columbia Pictures, called the conclusion "pretty absurd." The Hollywood woman said that the success of "The Hangover" will not change the basic pattern. Columbia and Sony are still the largest film production companies in Hollywood. They are strong and will help revive the MGM brand. A great company with a good history and a proud tradition is the most responsible candidate to take over. And the success of DD Pictures on "The Hangover" does not allow them to ignore this huge gap. She said that the international consortium led by Sony is still very confident in winning the final victory.

We don't know whether Pascal is too optimistic, but with the success of DD Films in "The Social Network" and "The Hangover", in the past 4 months in 2005, it has already grabbed 600 million box office in the world. . With the full release of "The Social Network" in major box-office countries, and the rapid accumulation of "The Hangover" at the box office, this number is likely to rise sharply. So whether the scale of the acquisition victory will favor the larger Sony is really unknown. "

It's rare for The Wall Street Journal to take a new movie's box office results so seriously. And also made a large-scale analysis report. This of course has something to do with the upcoming MGM acquisition — in fact, the Wall Street Journal, which is deeply entrenched in the financial capital field, has actually smelled some flavors — but it’s not enough to say that the results can be inferred. But obviously, their reports will become a kind of weather vane to some extent.

This time, DD Pictures may really be able to achieve their incredible goals.

Although DD Pictures announced that it would buy MGM after the news. The news keeps getting bigger and bigger, but in fact, in the eyes of many people, Sony's victory is unquestionable - this kind of prejudice is hidden deep in the heart, and it will not be reflected in various analysis, various estimates, various Openly in speculation. But that's how many people take it for granted.

Selling one of Hollywood's seven major studios to their little brother, an independent studio, is somewhat contrary to tradition. Sony is aggressive in the field of media content, and with the big consortium Sony behind it, it also unites with a huge private equity company like Texas Pacific. The war between the two looks like a decisive battle between ants and elephants.

Can ants outperform elephants? Not completely impossible, but the possibility is a small probability event—nearly non-existent.

The hesitation revealed in the latest report of the "Wall Street Journal" has really shaken the minds of many people-perhaps, MGM is tempted by the vigorous vitality of DD Pictures. Although they will sell the company, but at the same price, of course, hope that MGM can develop better after the acquisition. In addition, the opinions of creditors are also crucial, and the revenue of DD Pictures is convincing enough.

The speculation has grown dense and sensational just before the results were revealed.

Speculation about Cork's encounter with PR lobbyists of all identities is also common in newspapers, from film industry colleagues to politicians, from news editors to well-known lobbying firms, from actress Elizabeth Taylor to ex-007 Bond Pierce Bruce Nam... All possible candidates have been speculated and reported, and even their respective positions are brought to life.

"It's true or false."

Bradley Cooper is also a gossip lover, UU reading www. uukanshu.com They were about to attend a post-screening meeting at the Oriental Theater, and Bradley, who was near the water tower, couldn't help but ask about the news reports that went against the sky.

The title of DD Pictures appeared on the big screen, and two people appeared on the left and the right. Although the face was unclear, the prominent Malone Brando-style image of the character on the left can easily give people the feeling of the golden age of Hollywood. The figure on the right is a robot figure, representing the future. After the two villains approached, each stretched out a hand and bent down—this means "welcome to watch", and then we quickly changed into two adjacent subtitles "D", forming the "DD" of DD Films.

The movie begins. (To be continued.)
