Chapter 1089 Duel

In order to promote "Spider-Man 2", Xiao Yunhai also spent a huge price, and the funds alone invested 300 million.

Fans also focused their attention on "Spider-Man 2" and "Future Warrior".

The first two times were Xiao Yunhai's victory with "Battle of Chibi" and "The Lord of the Rings". Everyone wanted to see whether Xiao Yunhai continued to win or Hanks succeeded in revenge this time.

Paramount President's Office

Hanks looked at the newspaper, his face was grim, his chest kept heaving and he was obviously very angry.

"This old fox knows he can't be trusted."

After reading it, Hanks smashed the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Picking up the phone, Hanks called Kestel.

"Mr. Kestel, why did you change the release date of "Flame"? Are you afraid?" Hanks asked angrily.

Kestel had long expected that he would call and ask questions, hehe laughed: "Mr. Hanks, you don't need to be angry, I just don't want to cause unnecessary losses to the company. Besides, I just promised to work in the animated film. I didn’t agree to fight against Xiao in other movies. Mr. Hanks, I think you should give Mr. Xiao a call. There is a saying in China that peace makes money, and if you fight like this, you will only lose both.”

Hanks snorted coldly and said: "Let me take the initiative to admit defeat to him, I can't afford to lose that person. Kestel, since you are afraid, then our cooperation agreement ends here. I hope you don't worry about your own. decide to regret it."

After speaking, Hanks hung up the phone.

On October 3, the showdown between Spider-Man 2 and Futurama finally begins.

The 7,000 screens that Xiao Yunhai rented and the 5,000 screens of New Huaxia and Yanhuang made up 12,000 yuan, and they fought against the "Future Warrior" with the same number of screens.

Other films have retreated, and many originally scheduled schedules have been postponed. No film company is willing to mix with them. After all, there is only one "Black Humor".

Due to the time difference, on the afternoon of October 5, the global box office for the first two days of the film was counted.

"Spider-Man 2" has a box office of 245 million US dollars in Asia, 386 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, and 768 million US dollars at the global box office, including other regions.

"Future Warrior" is also not too much to let go, with a global box office of 752 million US dollars.

Although the box office gap is not large, the word of mouth is polarized.

"Spider-Man 2" did not score 7 points on the movie network of various countries. The favorite among movie fans in Europe and America is superheroes. One column is 7.58 points. To be able to get this score is already very good for a pure commercial film.

The reputation of "Future Warrior" is extremely poor, with an average score of only 5.36, not even a pass. The special effects and action scenes are very hot, but the main problem lies in the plot. It's too protracted, like it's filled with water, especially the first 20 minutes, it's like a memoir.

Some fans said that they fell asleep directly in the movie theater, and if it wasn't for the fierce fighting at the end, I'm afraid they could have slept from beginning to end.

Under the word-of-mouth effect, the box office on October 5 showed a gap.

"Spider-Man 2" opened high, with a global box office of 563 million US dollars, while "Future Warrior" only received 414 million US dollars, which still relies on the charm of several big action stars.

On Saturday, October 6, "Spider-Man 2" showed its sharp fangs, gnawing at $662 million in one fell swoop, and undoubtedly became the global box office champion.

"Future Soldier" declined, and only got 384 million US dollars, and did not even keep the second position.

Everyone knows that the competition between Paramount and Marvel, Paramount has failed again, and it has failed miserably.

On Sunday, October 7, "Spider-Man 2" once again surpassed $600 million at the box office, reaching $612 million, which is a full 300 million more than "Future Warrior."

At the same time, Disney's big animated movie "Robot Wars" premiered on the same night, and it was liked by many children. The premiere night won 231 million US dollars, which also had a very negative impact on the box office of "Future Warrior".

The "Future Soldier", which had high hopes, has already collapsed across the board, and Paramount's compensation is to cry without tears.

By October 8, the movie market turned into a showdown between Spider-Man 2 and the cartoon Robot Wars. Probably because the children are all in school, "Robot Wars" only earned $412 million that day, while "Spider-Man 2" scored $432 million, just overtaking "Robot Wars".

In the next two days, "Spider-Man 2" swayed between $300 million and $400 million at the box office, and "Robot Wars" came from behind to become the box office champion of the day.

It's a pity that "Robot Wars" was the champion for only two days, and was pulled down by "Kung Fu Panda".

On October 10, the first animated film "Kung Fu Panda", which was carefully produced by Marvel Comics in eight months, was released, and it won a terrifying $315 million on the night of its premiere, which shocked the world.

Even Xiao Yunhai couldn't believe it, let alone other people, for a cartoon showing such a high box office after only four shows.

The most important thing is that the word-of-mouth of "Kung Fu Panda" is so good that the scores from movie websites in various countries have not dropped eight points, and it is suitable for all ages. Even those fans who have never been interested in animated movies can't help being fascinated by it while watching it with their children.

On October 11th, "Kung Fu Panda" made everyone's jaw-dropping $736 million, breaking the daily box office record for an animated film.

Disney's "Robot Wars" was directly crushed, and only received 246 million US dollars. Also hit hard is "Spider-Man 2", which dropped to 256 million US dollars at the box office, but the total box office has reached several billion.

As for "Future Warrior", it did not even reach 100 million US dollars, and Paramount and Disney's plan to jointly snipe "Kung Fu Panda" directly became a joke.

Kestel looked at the dazzling $736 million on the report form, his face was lonely, he shook his head and sighed: "I can't stop it."

As Kestel, who has created countless classic animations, he is very clear that after "Transformers", Marvel has once again created a series of cartoons "Kung Fu Panda" that are popular all over the world, and there will definitely be "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Kung Fu Panda 3", plus related peripherals, it is estimated that the profit obtained will not be worse than that of "Transformers", or even more.

"I lost, I lost again. Could it be that Kung Fu Xiao is really my nemesis?" Hanks looked decadent.

After losing three times in a row, "Kung Fu Panda" was a mess, and "Spaceship" two days later wanted to do it, but it was estimated that there were no doors.

What worries him most is the battle between "Resident Evil" and "2012" next month, which is a $20 billion gambling game. Once he loses, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Hanks' face turned grim, his eyes flickered with cold light, and said, "Since you can't fight on the bright side, don't blame me for using other means."

Hanks took out his cell phone and dialed a foreign number.

"Ito, I need your help..."

"Kung Fu Panda" swept the world in one day. Marvel struck while the iron was hot, and launched a comprehensive publicity regardless of the cost. The publicity cost alone cost 300 million US dollars, which can be said to be a bloodbath.

And the effect is very obvious. From its premiere on October 10 to October 20, in just ten days, "Kung Fu Panda" earned 3.87 billion US dollars and entered the top 40 box office in the world. With its current state, it is impossible to enter the top ten, but there is still hope to enter the top twenty.

The box office of "Spider-Man 2" has been sluggish. It has only received tens of millions of dollars for several days in a row. It is estimated that it will not be long before it will be finished. The box office is very good, and it has received 3.958 billion US dollars. question.

For this result, Plancico was originally very satisfied, but when he learned from Raul that "Kung Fu Panda" would definitely surpass him, Plancico was dumbfounded.

"No. The "Spider-Man" I worked so hard to shoot is not as good as an animated panda. God, this is too shocking."

Raul said with a smile: "Director Plancico, you have to work hard. Mr. Xiao determined that the 3D superhero series of the other four directors will exceed 10 billion US dollars. If you can't go head-to-head, you will be left behind. already."

Plancico nodded and said solemnly: "When the post-production of "Spider-Man 2" was completed, I had already started preparing for the second film, and this time I will also use 3D technology."

Raul asked, "What movie?"

Plancico said: "The superhero "Wolverine". However, before I went to a fantasy special effects imaging company for training."

The next day, Plancico flew to Yanjing. After watching Xiao Yunhai's "2012" at the Fantasy Special Effects Company, Plancico became more confident in 3D movies.
