1417. The cheapest superhero

"The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" was nothing unexpected and had a big box office hit.

The box office of more than US$60 million in the first weekend was also very weak in the next week.

It was not until the third week that there was a relatively large decline, and the box office of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" finally reached more than 300 million US dollars in North America.

The global box office has exceeded US$600 million!

And you should know that the biggest expense of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is actually on the pay of Wang Yifan and Jack Curtis.

Otherwise, this is really a low-cost drama.

It's definitely considered a big deal with a small profit!

What's interesting is that the most profitable thing for the film was not Jack Curtis himself.

On the contrary, it is Wang Yifan!

Because, Wang Yifan once again proved that he was invincible.

The name of turning stones into gold!

You know, even now, there are only a few movies that can exceed 300 million US dollars in the box office in North America every year.

Therefore, Wang Yifan's script naturally rose. At the same time, several movies directed by Chinese directors from Wang Yifan also attracted much attention.

After all, the movie "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural Sense" is also a major reason for the success of this movie.

However, it is undeniable that the script of this movie was written by Wang Yifan.

Although it is very good to make movies by yourself, make good movies, and have big box office movies, but although there are not many such directors, they are definitely not a small number.

For example, Jack Curtis himself is like this.

But a person who not only has a good movie, but also has stronger screenwriter skills and is more terrifying.

For example, Wang Yifan!

At this time, Wang Yifan's new movie, the first movie of the Marvel Universe project, announced that it will be scheduled for this year's summer schedule.

The promotion of "Spider-Man" has already begun.

Movies including comics and other movies have been working hard for a long time.

Although "Spider-Man" is the first movie of the Marvel Universe Project.

But in fact, superhero movies have long been common in this world in Hollywood.

In fact, even if it is Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe Project, there are many giants joining. But in fact, many people are not so optimistic about Wang Yifan's superhero movie.

If you want to talk about IP, in fact, what giants in Hollywood do not have many IPs?

As we all know, the first movie in the series has always been the most risky one, which is also the biggest problem in developing a series of movies.

Of course, everyone actually recognizes Wang Yifan's strength. After all, successful people can always succeed, which is something that all capital is pursuing.

But the biggest problem lies in the fact that the male protagonist of "Spider-Man" is Chinese.

It’s not that movies where Chinese people are the protagonists can’t be sold.

Of course not, but the limitations are indeed great. So far, it can be said that only a few real Chinese people have taken over the box office of the entire movie as the protagonist.

Cheng Hu is the most successful one, but it is only the most successful one ever.

And even Hollywood has long labeled Chinese protagonists, the male lead in kung fu movies!

Therefore, even though "Spider-Man" has a huge background, the movie always relies on the movie itself.

Hollywood is different from China. It has a popular schedule. Films directed by directors like Wang Yifan in China can almost dominate the schedule.

But this is not the case in Hollywood, even if it is a partner or a cooperative relationship.

But it is impossible for a popular schedule to be without competitors.

For example, this year's summer schedule.

"Spider-Man" has also not weak competitors, and more than one.

There are even homogeneous superhero movies released.

And it's a sequel to superheroes!

Because "Spider-Man" is a project jointly organized by multiple companies, this is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing at the same time.

Because, after we invest together, after we share the profit, we occupy less share.

It can be said that "Spider-Man" may be everyone's godson, but they must have their own sons to raise.

Moreover, there are many movies produced by major companies every year.

Many giants have many movie brands, so although everyone will try to avoid internal friction, often due to schedules, they often play themselves.

Fortunately, the North American film market has long been very mature.

In this summer, "Spider-Man" is naturally a big hit.

But in addition to the two major North American distributions of "Spider-Man" this time, the summer season only featured two low-cost movies.

Several other giants have their own big productions to be released.

Of course, because everyone has invested in "Spider-Man", they did not choose to release the same day, but there were movies released in the week before and after.

And the biggest competitor of "Spider-Man" is the superhero movie "Dragon Knight" from DSN!

"Dragon Knight" is also a comic-adapted movie. Although the first movie "Dragon Knight" did not hit the box office, it was quite good.

And this time, the sequel to "Dragon Knight" is also highly expected.

This movie will be painted one week before Spider-Man!

In fact, compared to "Dragon Knight 2", "Spider-Man" can only be said to be a small-budget movie among superhero movies.

There is no way, it’s not that Wang Yifan doesn’t want to do big productions, but that “Spider-Man” is positioned as a civilian hero, which is completely different from “Iron Man”.

"Dragon Knight 2" is actually a superhero movie that takes place in modern society. In fact, superhero movies have long had a set of patterns in this world.

For example, "Dragon Knight" is actually a bit like "Superman" in his previous life, and it is also a super species from an alien planet. However, after he came to Earth, he was adopted by the Earthlings and integrated into the human world.

When encountering global dangers, he will transform into a dragon knight and protect this planet.

Does it seem inexplicably familiar?

Well, "Superman" and "Ultraman" are all in this type of genre.

This is the stream of superheroes in this world!

Another point is that the reason why DSN or other companies, or not, does not take "Spider-Man" seriously is that this movie is really a kitten of three or two.

The most famous one is of course the director Wang Yifan, and Spider-Man is a newcomer, and he is also a Chinese.

There is nothing else to say about other characters, they are not big-name stars.

Unlike "Dragon Knight 2", the starring person is a popular Hollywood star.

The director is also a famous director, let alone investment.

The superhero in this world focuses on special effects. The investment in "Dragon Knight 2" is said to be more than US$250 million.

And what about "Spider-Man"? It is even called the cheapest superhero movie by some people!
