’s weekly new films to be released again. This week’s box office market ushered in two heavyweight blockbusters. The cartoon "One Piece: Operation Frenzy" has a score of 8.3 on Douban, which has a good reputation and is expected to set off a wave of cartoon watching. upsurge.
And the new film I want to talk about today is also on the rise, with an investment of up to 970 million, and a 15-hour box office of only 36.23 million. Another new film hits the street. The top director can't afford it? The movie
is "Gemini Killer".
"Gemini Killer" is a sci-fi action blockbuster directed by Ang Lee and starring Will Smith and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The film tells the story of government agent Henry who is about to retire, but finds himself being chased by a young killer. , And the story of this man is a clone 25 years younger than the current one, which was released in mainland China on October 18, 2019.
The lineup of the film is extremely strong. As the only Chinese who won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, Ang Lee's status is naturally beyond doubt, and can be called the most influential Chinese director in the world.
For many years, Lee Ang's "Sense and Emotion", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Broken Arm Mountain", "Lust Caution" etc. have become classics. In 2012, the “Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie” directed by him sold 600 million U.S. dollars worldwide and was once again a big success. The film also helped Ang Lee to win the Oscar for Best Director for the second time after “Brokeback Mountain”. It’s amazing!
In addition, "Gemini Killer" also invited international superstar Will Smith as the leading actor. Will Smith can be described as one of Hollywood’s top superstars. He starred in "Independence Day", "Men in Black" series and other big explosions. "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is also known as an inspirational movie. In 2007, the starring "I Am Legend" was once again a big success, with a global sales of nearly 600 million US dollars. "Gemini Killer" invites Will Smith, who has both popularity and strength, as the leading actor, and also cooperates with Ang Lee, which is indeed extremely exciting.
directed by Ang Lee and starring Will Smith, this lineup really bursts, and "Gemini Killer" has an investment of up to 138 million US dollars, about 970 million yuan, which is also very huge. Such a top blockbuster, it stands to reason that the box office on the first day should be easy to two to three billion.
But unfortunately, the box office of "Gemini Killer" is not optimistic at present. The box office of "Gemini Killer" is only 36.23 million in 15 hours. Compared with the investment of 970 million, this box office is really embarrassing and the Chinese market is hopeless. Up!
The global box office of "Gemini Killer" is also not ideal, with an investment of 138 million U.S. dollars, and the current global box office is only 65 million U.S. dollars. Even if the final box office can exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, it still can't make money.
Top directors like Ang Lee can't afford the box office?
"Gemini Killer" is a 120-frame + 3D movie. In fact, in 2016, Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" already adopted 120-frame quality. As a result, the box office completely hit the street with an investment of 40 million US dollars, the final box office was only 30 million US dollars, very embarrassing.
Now that "Gemini Killer" hits the street again, it makes people very helpless. Why can't Lee + Will Smith be able to hold the box office?
