Chapter 290 Treasure Gold Coins

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

The crew has a complete set of plans for publicity and marketing. The showdown between Matthew and Dwayne Johnson was not released immediately, but was used in the pre-screening publicity later to create topics. Anderson Martinez did not have any intention of letting Matthew and Dwayne Johnson have a real showdown, but neither Matthew nor Dwayne Johnson was interested for the moment.

Matthew has other work to fight for later. If he is injured, it will be very troublesome, and it is possible to stop the upward momentum.

It was not easy for him to get to this point, not only the result of his own efforts, but also very good luck.

A week after filming at Disney Studios 10 Studio, the crew moved to Studio 9 next to it and began to shoot the scene of the catacomb of Trinity Church. Jerry Brookheimer's team of setters started to re-set the scene in November last year, and took a full five months, and it was not completed until late March.

The crew is planning to shoot here for only a dozen days. After the shooting, all the scenes built need to be removed, and most of them are directly turned into garbage and sent to the garbage disposal station.

The film industry is a veritable high-investment industry. Sometimes it takes several months to build a scene, and even takes no day to shoot.

While filming, Matthew is also paying attention to the latest situation of "Dawn of the Living Dead".

The film achieved a impressive record of $34.1 million in the first week, attracting a lot of media praise, and Matthew's public relations and Universal Pictures' promotion also made a lot of fire.

"After the great success of the co-star of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Matthew Horner used the absolute protagonist in "Dawn of the Living Dead" to prove his box office appeal to Hollywood!"

"If "The Scorpion King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" prove Matthew Horner's strength in costume-themed action roles, then the great success of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is superficially modern action roles, he can also perform wonderfully."

There are many similar hypes, many of which come from soft publicity articles posted by Matthew asking for money to hire gunmen.

Compared to the movie's big sales, this promotional fee is nothing, not to mention that it can effectively improve his fame.

After the box office hit on the first weekend, "The Living Dead" showed some lack of potential. The box office on Monday's first working day fell 60% compared to the $7.1 million last Sunday, earning a little more than $2.8 million. In the following days, the single-day box office showed a steady decline. By Thursday, the daily output had dropped to $2.2 million.

The film is released in its second weekend, and there are no strong competitors, but like all horror and bloody films, the box office decline of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is still slightly faster.

The three days of the second weekend fell 58% from the first weekend's box office, and the film took another $14.3 million from the North American market.

Adding to the $9.8 million gains from the previous four working days, the North American box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" has reached a total of $58.2 million.

If the promotion and distribution costs are not calculated, the North American box office can already make a profit.

After being the champion of the North American box office rankings for two consecutive weeks, the box office potential of "Dawn of the Living Dead" was quickly consumed. The defect of insufficient stamina of this type of film was more obvious in subsequent screenings.

In the following working days, the film's daily output dropped to $1 million, and the box office fell by another 60% on the third weekend, earning $5.7 million, and the North American box office accumulated to $67.9 million.

According to the forecasts of Universal Pictures and multiple market institutions, the final box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is basically impossible to exceed $90 million.

But compared with the production cost, even if the $5 million promotional expenses are included, the North American box office alone is enough to make "Dawn of the Living Dead" profitable by nearly 10 million US dollars.

No matter from any perspective, "Dawn of the Living Dead" can be described as a great success.

A survey agency then released a relevant data, believing that the biggest contributor to the success of the film was Matthew and Zach Schneider, praising Matthew for creating a male protagonist who is strong enough but not lacking in love and is very popular with the audience. Zach Schneider did not stick to the rules and regulations of the original version, which also gave the film greater vitality.

While "The Living Dead" was screened in North America, it also appeared in many overseas cinemas. The "Elevator Door" incident between Matthew and Scarlett Johnson was almost spread throughout the Western world with the popularity of Oscars, which also brought a lot of attention to the film. Moreover, zombie films have always had a not-so-small audience in the West. Compared with traditional American plasma films, the overseas box office trend of this film is much better.

Especially in the UK and Australia, where zombie apocalypse movies are also popular, the box office output is much higher than that of ordinary plasma horror films. The box office for the UK is close to $10 million in three weeks, and Australia is more than $5 million in more than two weeks.

By the fifth week of the release of "Dawn of the Living Dead" in North America, when the box office in North America exceeded 80 million US dollars, the cumulative overseas box office also reached more than 70 million US dollars, and the global box office combined exceeded 150 million US dollars.

In addition, Universal Pictures is also conducting commercial negotiations with publishers in many countries and regions to enable Dawn of the Living Dead to enter more overseas markets.

After five consecutive weeks of screenings, the screening of "Dawn of the Living Dead" in North America has entered the final stage. This type of film is difficult to avoid the fate of a short theater cycle.

Starting from the sixth week, the film's weekday box office has dropped to less than $200,000, and even fell below $100,000 on Thursday. When the three-day box office lasted only six figures, the theater journey has basically come to an end.

Similarly, North American theaters are also constantly decreasing the screening and screening rate of "Dawn of the Living Dead". The number of theaters released in the seventh week has dropped to 300, and the average number of screenings of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is less than four shows per day in these 300 theaters.

However, the cumulative box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" in North America reached US$85.5 million, and the overseas box office was more than US$86 million.

The film "Dawn of the Living Dead" has taken Matthew the first step to succeed from rushing from a second-tier star to a first-tier star.

This film's big sale is of great significance to Matthew, and the rest of the crew also benefited a lot.

As the heroine, Jessica Alba was invited to the preview of a major commercial project of 20th Century Fox and successfully won the heroine of "Fantasy Four".

Director Zach Schneider also received many invitations from producers, but with a lot of work experience this time, Zach Schneider was very cautious and did not take on other jobs easily.

When Matthew was on the phone with him the last time, Zach Schneider said he was carefully studying Frank Miller's illustrated novel "The Three Hundred Warriors of the Spartan".

After all, in May, the filming of "National Treasure" has also come to the end.

In the studio No. 9 at Disney Studios, the crew is filming the last part of the catacombs of Trinity Church.

Facing the direction of the camera No. 1 camera, Matthew took the torch with a solemn expression and walked forward step by step. His eyes kept sweeping over various golden vessels and props in the room, and came to a platform like a brazier. He first picked up a gold coin, wiped off the dust on his clothes, put it in front of him and took a closer look, and then put it back.

He looks like he is only interested in treasure hunting, but not particularly interested in treasure itself.

Matthew put down the gold coins, reached out to touch the basin, and then put the torch in. The flames immediately rose up and spread to the distance along the grooves behind the brazier, quickly illuminating the huge treasure room in the space.

The crew took five months to build this treasure house, which also had various "treasures" inside. At this time, they appeared from the darkness. Even Matthew walked forward in surprise, stood by the stairs, and looked straight into the distance.

Although I know that there are all fakes below, I just feel magnificent when I stand here and look at it.

I have to say that the crew is indeed a big deal in setting up scenes.

Qiang Watt, Diane Kruger and Justin Basha also walked over one after another, stood next to Matthew, and looked over together.

"yes!" Qiang Watt slapped Matthew's back hard, "Ben, you're right! We're all right! This is the treasure of the Templar!"

Matthew laughed, "We found it!"

Diane Kruger next to him also smiled and turned around and asked, "Relly, are you crying?"

"Look!" Justin Basha pointed to a corner of the treasure room shot, "That's the stairs! The passage to leave! We don't have to die here."

Matthew, Qiang Walt and Justin Basha all laughed.

This shot ended successfully and today's work was announced to be completed.

Director Joe Detdubar walked over and stood behind the four actors, "There is only the last scene left. Tomorrow we will go to Beverly Hills to shoot, where a mansion came out a few days ago, which is just right for us to shoot."

Matthew turned his head and asked, "That is, we don't have to go back to this studio?"

"That's right." Joe Detduba nodded, "it's going to be removed from tonight."

"Joe..." Matthew said directly, "Can I choose a few souvenirs from this huge treasure?"

Diane Kruger interjected, "And I."

Justin Basha raised his hand, "Count me."

Qiang Watt said, "I'll forget it, I already have too many souvenirs."

While speaking, he smiled and left first.

"Of course." Joe Detdubar looked generous, "Jerry said, none of these are useful."

Matthew turned around and left, "Okay, I'll go choose the souvenir."

He went directly to the brazier that was about to be extinguished and picked up the ancient Roman gold coin. Because this one would appear directly in the camera, it was made quite exquisitely.

Joe Detdubar reminded, "Don't forget to arrive at Beverly Hills at 8 o'clock tomorrow and we will shoot our last scene."
Chapter completed!
