1027 Overseas craze
“Princess Arthur Beatrice is about to hold a private painting viewing party. Do you have a guest list? "Elizabeth's voice is still calm and cold, unable to detect specific emotional details at all..
But this was Elizabeth, and Arthur was not surprised at all. "Yes. I will send you an email shortly." He did not ask the reason, but simply gave a conclusion..
“Okay." Elizabeth paused for a moment, "Also, please send an invitation letter to Sebastian. Princess Beatrice came to the gallery in person today and sent out the invitation. The formal invitation letter should be available tomorrow. It will arrive." Sebastian, referring to Renly's middle name - Renly Sebastian Hall.
Arthur nodded in realization. Obviously, the princess couldn't wait any longer and came to the door immediately to send out an invitation. As expected, twenty-four years old is still impulsive and young, and young is very good. Involuntarily, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose..
However, Arthur's voice remained steady, and he asked, "So, do you want him to attend, or not?" Different thoughts and ideas, naturally worded differently, can be felt between the lines..
In fact, Arthur knew that no matter what he said, Renly would never come back. The movie promotion had a schedule, and he would need to return to the West End stage to continue performing. He had no time to attend these aristocratic parties, nor was he interested. But Arthur didn't expose it, deliberately said it, and waited for Elizabeth's answer..
“I hope the princess knows that the invitation letter has been sent out smoothly." Elizabeth's reply was still calm, and she couldn't feel any fluctuations, but her words were meaningful.：
She didn't want Renly to attend, she just sent the invitation, kept her promise to the princess, and then put the blame for "not attending" on Renly's back..
Then, Elizabeth hung up the phone, leaving a busy signal, and the smile on Arthur's lips rose gently..
Renly wins.
In this family war, Renly truly won. Although Arthur already knew the ending of the story, it was not until today that the matter was officially determined. Although Elizabeth refused to admit or compromise, , she has also realized that Renly is no longer a passive child. He not only has his own life and career, but he also has his own life and world..
Renly had already occupied a place among London's high society..
Elizabeth is like this, George is like this, even Elf is no exception.
Suddenly, Arthur felt a little envious. The smile in his eyes slowly settled down. Then he picked up the black tea in front of him and began to enjoy it slowly again..
Perhaps, "Empire" magazine never realized that this report could create such waves, but the fact is that everything has changed from this moment on.
……
Although this analogy is not accurate, the fact is that even the upper class and aristocrats who have always been reserved can no longer contain their excitement and excitement, and this is even more so for ordinary people. The entire UK can clearly feel it. The wavelength and aftertaste brought by the status of "hereditary noble", even the remote Scottish Highlands are no exception.
After all, the status of the nobility in Britain is still unique..
Amid such attention, the global box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is rising steadily.
Before the movie was released, the overseas box office of this work also lacked enough gimmick highlights, and the entire cast lacked strong and bright stars. Although Jennifer Lawrence's "The Hunger Games" achieved box office success in the North American market, it was not successful in overseas markets. With only 280 million US dollars, the overall performance is far inferior to that in North America. The so-called box office appeal is naturally greatly reduced. Therefore, the one with the most appeal is undoubtedly Renly..
But Renly's overseas influence is far from strong..
“The overseas box office of "Fast and Furious 5" reached 500 million, but it relied on the appeal of the series of movies; the overseas box office of "Fighting Cancer" was even lower than that of "Buried Alive", and neither of the two works exceeded 7 Ten million; the only one worth mentioning is "Crazy Love", which made 102 million in overseas markets. This is currently Renly's most influential work..
Therefore, when "Edge of Tomorrow" landed in overseas markets, Warner Bros. did not have high expectations..
Although the film was fully released in fifty-six countries and regions, reaching the level of a top commercial production, Warner Bros.'s promotion focus is still on North America. Among other countries and regions, it only arranged promotion in four cities in Europe. , there are no corresponding itineraries for Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Beijing in Asia..
After the box office data was released, it was shocking！
The UK has deservedly become the largest overseas box office for "Edge of Tomorrow", with box office data of 65 million US dollars, temporarily ranking second in the annual box office, second only to "Avengers"'s 80 million - what is truly incredible is , in the UK, the total box office of this work was twice that of "The Hunger Games", which shows Renly's unparalleled appeal..
China has become the second largest overseas ticket market. This is definitely a complete surprise. Even North America has repeatedly exclaimed that it is amazing. The current Chinese market has a relatively obvious value orientation for Hollywood superstars and popcorn commercial movies. , "Edge of Tomorrow" did not have any so-called superstars in the lead, and the final box office reached US$53 million. This is really a huge surprise..
To this end, Warner Bros. specially conducted a questionnaire on China's Weibo and other comprehensive movie websites to ask why the work "Edge of Tomorrow" is so popular..
“"Renly Hall", this became the option with the highest turnout, but it is not what the North American market imagined. On the one hand, it is because Renly is the youngest Oscar winner in film history, and on the other hand, because Renly played in the Berlin film Jie showed his outstanding Chinese language ability and was widely known. Unconsciously, Renly also became very popular in mainland China..
In addition, excellent reputation in North America, outstanding box office performance, and word-of-mouth spread after the local release have become the top influencing factors..
This has extraordinary reference value for Warner Bros. and even major film companies throughout North America..
This is the first time a work starring Renly has landed in China, and it has made a strong start. In the Chinese market that is gradually opening up, Renly has successfully seized the opportunity..
Later, when Andy Rogers told Renly this news, even Renly himself was surprised and dumbfounded. He expressed surprise at the box office success of "Edge of Tomorrow" and then said meaningfully, "Maybe, that's my hometown..”
In addition to the United Kingdom and China, the overseas box office performance of "Edge of Tomorrow" is from high to low in Mexico, Australia, Japan, Brazil, South Korea, Russia and France. The cumulative box office of these seven countries and regions has all exceeded 2,000 million, of which Mexico and Australia both exceeded 40 million. Needless to say, their outstanding performance.
On the South American continent, the box office performance of Mexico and Brazil is eye-catching, even surpassing Europe as a whole. Chile, Colombia, Argentina and other countries have also achieved good box office figures. It seems that since the "Speed" After completing the filming of "Furious 5" in Brazil, with the role of Luke Hobbs, Renly has gradually gained an audience base in South America, which is another unexpected surprise..
In addition, the cumulative box office of Argentina, Germany, India, Italy, Hong Kong, Spain and other countries and regions has also passed the 10 million threshold, which also makes "Edge of Tomorrow" reach a total of 16 countries and regions. Such a good result is second only to the twenty-two "Avengers".
Among them, "Edge of Tomorrow" successfully won the weekend box office championship in nine countries and regions including the United Kingdom, China, Mexico, Australia, and Japan, and successfully won the weekly championship in four countries and regions; in the global market, relying on Outstanding overall strength, "Edge of Tomorrow" defeated "Brave" and "Teddy Bear" respectively, and won the overseas box office championship for four weeks in total. Among the works released this year, it is equal to the four consecutive championships of "The Avengers".
In the end, "Edge of Tomorrow" swept US$630 million in overseas markets, which also brought the film's total global box office to 1.18 billion. In 2012, it temporarily fell behind "The Avengers". Ranked second among the three box office lists in North America, overseas and globally..
At the same time, "Edge of Tomorrow" has also become the 13th film in film history with a global box office exceeding one billion US dollars, temporarily ranking fifth on the film history list, behind "Avatar", "Titanic" and "The Avengers" , "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)", "Transformers 3" and other four works.
No words are needed, just this set of data is enough to explain everything. Success, hearty success, incredible success, and shocking success; for Warner Brothers, this is even more true, "Tomorrow" "Edge" is currently the one with the smallest investment cost among the 13 works with a global box office exceeding 1 billion. In other words, it has the highest profit..
Focus, Renly undoubtedly became the focus！
It is rumored that Warner Bros. has begun preparations for the sequel of "Edge of Tomorrow". This is not surprising. Those who give up on making a sequel are fools; however, the author of the original novel has completed the story, and now Warner Bros. is communicating with the author, hoping that he can Write a sequel and then adapt it into a screenplay.
The reason is simple. When Warner Bros. signed a contract with Renly, they only signed a contract for one work - the sequel was never in the scope of discussion. Now, if Warner Bros. wants to continue the sequel, it must convince Renly, and Renly The emphasis on scripts and characters is a fact that everyone in the industry knows, and there is no room for negotiation..
Therefore, Warner Bros. is busy preparing for the sequel.
At the same time, people are still discussing: What will Renly's next work be? In more detail, what will be your next commercial project? So what should the remuneration be like?？
The 20 million club seems to be a certainty, but the question is, which film company will be the first to take action? And this film company is more inclined to pay 20 million yuan, or is it the trend led by Johnny Depp that focuses on box office dividends?？
Also, last year Renly gave up the sequel to "Fast and Furious" for "Edge of Tomorrow". Is it really just for the paycheck? No other inside information? So now, how should major film companies impress Renly? This young actor, who is about to turn 23, seems to be more difficult to deal with than Tom Cruise and Will Smith..
Just when all eyes were on Renly, he leisurely followed the plan and left New York, preparing to return to London and return to the West End stage, as if the summer box office frenzy had nothing to do with him..
