A few days later.

After the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" expanded the theater, it immediately received a good response from the North American box office market and the box office surged!

Before the expanded screening, the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in North America for more than 20 days, and only achieved a box office record of almost over 10 million US dollars.

But!

When the film expanded its first day after the screening, it won a single-day box office of US$6.7 million even on weekdays rather than weekends, ranking first in the North American movie box office list that day.

Previously, the movie "Drug Network", which has won multiple single-day box office championships in succession, received a 5.2 million US dollars on the same day, unfortunately ranked second.

As soon as the news came out, Hollywood colleagues immediately became uneasy.

"Look, take a look!"

"I'll just say that before the Oscar nomination list was announced, the outcome of "Drug Network" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still unknown!"

"God! It's really amazing! I thought Wald Pictures' trip to Olympics was about to end. I never expected that it would be the first day after the number of screenings expanded, and it would be suppressed by "Drug Network" in one fell swoop. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"Say it, no?!"

"In 2000, Wald Pictures really rose!"

"I won't say much about anything else, "Butterfly Effect", "Spider-Man", "Deadly Bend 3", "Human Purge 2", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"... I don't know, after counting it, Wald Pictures made a total profit last year!"

Most of the colleagues who were discussing the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were hot, and most of them came from Hollywood second- and third-tier film companies.

On the other hand, the six major Hollywood players, including DreamWorks and MGM, are somewhat silent.

They rarely have executives discuss privately.

There is no way, I can’t hold my face!

Soon after......

On January 22, 2001, the 2000 North American movie box office rankings were released by the well-known American media Hollywood Weekly.

As soon as this report came out, entertainment companies across the United States, as well as movie fans who love and pay attention to movies, bought this issue of Hollywood Weekly newspapers as soon as possible.

Everything is for this 2000 North American movie box office rankings.

The results are as follows:

1. "Spider-Man 1", with a box office of US$330 million in North America;

2. "Harry Potter" has a box office of US$271 million in North America and is still being released in a hot spot, and the box office will further increase;

3. "Grinch" has a box office of US$247 million in North America;

.........

19. "Human Purge Plan 2", North American box office of US$107 million;

.........

43. "Butterfly Effect", North American box office of $60.75 million;

.........

50. "The Deadly Bend 3", with a box office of $49.3 million in North America;

...........

On the top 50 annual box office rankings in 2000, Wald Pictures was very conspicuous, occupying 5 places in one fell swoop. At the same time, the most eye-catching thing is the existence of the top two!

"Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" respectively occupy the top two on the list, directly causing a major earthquake in the integration industry.

“Very incredible!”

Harvey Weinstein, president of Miramax Film, said bluntly when facing reporters: "Since the reform of Hollywood film and television companies and theater companies in 1988, films produced by the same film company have dominated the top two annual box office rankings in North America, which is unheard of."

“This is the first time so far!”

"No doubt, Wald Pictures is the craziest film company in Hollywood in 2000!"

Shocked!

Extremely shocking!

New Line Film Company.

Boss Shay also said: "A film company has made many films, all of which have entered the top 50 of the annual box office rankings. Not to mention that 5 movies have entered the top 50 at once, which is very amazing! What's more, the first and second places are also from Wald Pictures!"

Emperor's Entertainment.

Patrick, one of the three giants, sighed: "What you are talking about is the first list, let's take a look at the second list. The 2000 North American movie box office rankings are also amazing enough, occupying multiple places in one fell swoop. The works of other film companies it has also included as many as 3 movies, which have entered the list."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~ It's amazing!"

DreamWorks Animation Company.

Jeffrey Carsonberg said very seriously: "Don't forget the "Find Nemo" animated film. The "Find Nemo" animated film released in 1999 was launched by Water World Animation and won an amazing box office of more than $900 million worldwide."

"In 2000, Water World Animation had no new animated movies released, otherwise the top three on the list might be defeated by that guy Juke Wald."

For a moment, the entire industry was shocked.

Especially for the six major Hollywood companies, many executives gritted their teeth.

Too embarrassing!

If Wald Pictures only occupies one place in the top 3 rankings, at most they complain a few times, and they may not be very angry. However... Wald Pictures directly occupies first place and second place, which makes it very difficult for them, such as the high-ranking guys.

"What did you ask me to say? What else can I say?"

"shame!"

"Shame!"

"I'm glad that Water World Animation's "Finding Nemo" movie was released in 1999, not in 2000, so the first three are his?"

The six major Hollywood companies, except for Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, have acquaintances with Zucker, have not had so many concerns. In addition, DreamWorks and MGM are quite dissatisfied with Zucker himself and Zucker's film companies and are very jealous.

Now?

He was so angry that he stomped his feet, hoping to kill Wald Pictures to death!

Once this list was released, although it gave Zucker himself and Wald Pictures a few more jealous guys, it also had good aspects.

No, the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is directly affected.

January 29.

The 73rd Oscar Organizing Committee announced the list of nominations for the 2000 annual release films.

The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed and filmed by Ang Lee and invested by Wald Pictures, won 10 nominations in one fell swoop.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Director, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best Theme Song, Best Movie Soundtrack and Best Makeup.....

Definitely amazing enough!

"Even if it can't end up winning so many awards, Wald Pictures' Olympic Tour this year is awe-inspiring enough," said Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Barry Mayer.

The 10 nominations made Wald Pictures very happy.

At the same time, the box office made Zhuke very happy!

So far, the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been in North America, and has won more than $60 million in box office, and has broken the highest box office record of "Beautiful Life" released in 1998 and created a North American foreign language film of more than $57 million.

Shocked!

One of Zhuke's emphasis on dog-leggedness, the Los Angeles Entertainment News immediately wrote: "The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is expected to become the first foreign language film in North America with a box office of more than $100 million!"
Chapter completed!
