Hollywood Starts with Animation

Curiosity is a state of mind, and for Western moviegoers in the United States, they have no shortage of such people. The movie "The Chainsaw" came out, just to satisfy the curiosity of these people.

A sick and crazy murderer;

All kinds of grotesque and terrifying killing methods;

a meaningful central theme;

Wait, these together constitute a savage and bloody horror movie, which will greatly stimulate the audience's senses and make some audiences feel "disgusting" and "unacceptable", but this is for horror movies. , that's what we want.

The more disgusting, the bloodier...the more they like it!

"I think it's fine."

A teenager named Archie left a message on the forum immediately after watching the movie: "I don't think the movie is too much, but I think it's not enough. Horror movies, there are no bloody scenes, that's called horror movies. Also, as far as I know, after the filming of "Chainsaw" was completed, the American Film Institute gave it an NC-17 rating, and after Wald Pictures deleted a lot of scenes, it received an R rating. grading."

"Oh my God!"

"I'd love to see heavily redacted content!"

This message has received more than 2,000 likes, which shows how popular the movie is.

Cut clips?

This term has a fatal attraction for many moviegoers.

People, that's it.

The more you ban something, the more interested they are.

"The content that has been cut a lot is so wonderful, I am very eager to see this part of the content that has been cut!"

This is a message from many people.

The official work of Wald Pictures is not sloppy at all. This is not to update the official website in a timely manner: "I solemnly promise that the DVD version of "The Chainsaw" will provide the deleted part of the content."

The theatrical version has many limitations...

But for the offline DVD version, there are not many restrictions. So, if nothing else, Wald Pictures will once again make a fortune in offline DVD sales.

......

Wald 1 filming base.

The set of the film "The Day After Tomorrow".

Zucker sat behind the director's monitor, chatting with Roland Emmerich, the film's director, during a break in filming.

"Mr. Wald, congratulations, I just saw the report, the movie "Chainsaw" produced by your company made $22.5 million at the box office in the first three days and won the North American box office championship this weekend." Emmerich laughed.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke smiled and waved his hand: "This can only be considered good."

Emmerich: "That's not bad? Mr. Wald, if you're going to hear this from the other studios, they're not going to be ashamed. My god, don't you forget that this The production cost of the movie is just over a million dollars, so what do you want?!”

I have to say that this compliment made Zhu Ke very useful.

"Roland, I plan to let James Wing leave the crew for a week." Zucker said suddenly.

"Uh?"

Emmerich was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Is it because of the promotion of the movie "The Chainsaw"?"

"certainly!"

Zucker nodded: "The company initially set the box office positioning of "Chainsaw" as a total North American box office of 12 million US dollars, but now? Good guy, the box office in the first three days of the first weekend alone has exceeded 22.5 million US dollars, which is more than good performance. It’s beyond our imaginations, so now of course there’s more publicity going on.”

What can Emmerich say?

Of course he agreed!

Roland Emmerich is the director of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", and James Wing is the assistant director of "The Day After Tomorrow", but the power of the entire crew is completely in Zucker's hands. In fact, it was only a matter of Zucker's words that James Wentui left the crew and went outside to promote "The Chainsaw", and he did not need the consent of director Emmerich at all.

Zucker asked him...to give him respect.

......

a few days later.

As Wald Pictures has increased the promotion of the movie "Chainsaw", the main creators, including the film's director James Wing, have appeared on TV shows and continue to appear all over North America.

All in all, the box office of the movie is on the rise.

Following the three-day box office result of $22.5 million in the first weekend, the next few days have achieved box office results of $3.7 million, $3.3 million, $2.9 million, and $2.75 million.

After a full week, the cumulative North American box office of "Chainsaw" has reached 35.15 million US dollars!

It can't compare to the three-day opening weekend of "Spider-Man", which exceeded $110 million at the box office;

It's not as good as the gushing mountains and rivers of Marvel superhero movies;

Not as good as the 3D movie storm brought by "Avatar";

......

It can be said that there are too many movies produced by Hollywood that are better than "Chainsaw", which can be called countless.

but!

With a production cost of over a million dollars, a movie that can achieve box office results of more than $35 million in just one week is absolutely rare and absolutely amazing!

"Chainsaw" can be called a box office miracle!

At least, many horror fans love it;

At least, Wald Pictures is making crazy money;

At least, my colleagues are so envious that the posterior molars are biting and bleeding;

"When it is painted, how much box office can it achieve?"

——This is a topic that many people pay attention to recently.

An executive of Nielsen, a well-known data analysis company, said: "I subsidize the final box office of "Chainsaw", which may be 50 million US dollars, 80 million US dollars, or even hundreds of millions of US dollars. But I have to say that in the April schedule, it is not without rivals!"

"Whether "Chainsaw" can go further depends on its opponent - "Scorpion King"!"

That's right.

Today is another Friday.

Well, on April 17, the film "The Scorpion King" created by Universal Pictures, the film known as "The Mummy: The Prequel", will be officially launched in 2,460 cinemas in North America today.

Universal Pictures producer James Jakes said in an interview with the media: "We are not afraid of Chainsaw, the one who should be afraid and worried should be Wald Pictures. Don't forget, our movie is a prequel to The Mummy, and we have a huge fan base that allows us to win against all opponents!"

The voice fell.

Many media reporters nodded frequently in agreement.

They admit that "Chainsaw" is a very good horror-thriller movie, but you must also understand that the audience for this part of the movie is a niche after all, and the audience is far less than the magic blockbuster "Scorpion King".

The box office ceiling of horror thriller movies is too obvious!

Universal Pictures and Wald Pictures are bound to fight each other in order to compete for the box office.

Similarly, just two days apart from the release date of "The Scorpion King", the film "Tian Zhao" released on April 19 was produced by Touchstone Pictures and distributed by the Disney Group.

This means that in the next few weeks, the three film companies will show a hot situation.

Whether the box office of "Chainsaw" can go further depends entirely on whether Wald Pictures can resist the offensive of the other two companies.

" "The second is sent.
