Chapter 941: Warning
The latest website: Only ten days after its release in North America, the North American box office of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" has accumulated as high as 139.21 million U.S. dollars. The embassy film industry estimates based on the first-line market data that the final North American box office will be 230 million U.S. dollars. million to $240 million.
Due to the huge box office sales in North America and the impact of the media map bomb attack involving North America, Europe and Iran, "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" also received a good response after its overseas release, with a box office of 6285 in the first weekend overseas. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
In the future, this film will appear in the film markets of more countries and regions one after another.
The global box office is also very promising to break through 500 million US dollars.
This middling production has paid off handsomely for Relativity Entertainment.
However, the focus of the embassy film industry has shifted to other films since the release of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".
Independence Day is coming, which is one of the best schedules in the summer. This year's Memorial Day schedule is occupied by 20th Century Fox's "X-Men 3: The Last Stand". Embassy Pictures simply put "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: "The End of the World" was scheduled to start painting on the schedule of Independence Day.
Other movies want a piece of the Independence Day schedule, so feel free to come, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is waiting here.
No company in Hollywood is willing to use its top commercial masterpiece to challenge that coquettish and alluring captain.
Films such as "Crazy Clerk", "See No Evil" and "American Strange Story", which were released in the same period, are not worth mentioning in front of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
On the contrary, Ronan still has a little impression of "Little Miss Sunshine", which was released the weekend after Independence Day.
This is a road film shot by Fox Searchlight.
According to the information obtained by Ronan, the script of this film had been lying in the script library for five or six years before the project was approved.
Compared with his own commercial production, Ronan will not care too much about this kind of independent small film.
What's more, Captain Jack Sparrow has been frequenting around the world since mid-June, visiting children with leukemia, fulfilling a girl's wish, signing autographs for passer-by fans, etc., fully releasing the unique charm of the captain.
Johnny Depp is always the best captain when it comes to fans.
But in front of the film company, he will become that big Hollywood star who is constantly looking for trouble.
For example, during the promotion period, Relativity Entertainment needs to lease a business jet for Johnny Depp and his bodyguards, assistants, makeup artists and friends, and provide special seats and activity space for his pet dog on the plane.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Johnny Depp can already be compared with Jennifer Lopez, recognized as the number one troublemaker in Hollywood.
None of this is a big deal for Relativity Entertainment, after all, Captain Jack Sparrow can bring super rich returns.
But during the trip to Australia, Johnson-Depp caused huge trouble.
Johnny Depp wanted to bring his two dogs into Australia without informing anyone on the crew or reporting to the Australian Customs, and even the dogs and people were detained.
Under Australian law, dogs entering Australia from the United States must undergo a 10-day quarantine to prevent the spread of disease.
Johnny Depp himself is facing lawsuits from the Australian government and has been temporarily restricted from leaving the country by Australia.
At the same time, Johnny Depp revealed another side of the angel, refusing to cooperate with Australia.
After the news was made public, Australia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture directly uttered harsh words at the media conference: Either send the dog back to California, or we will euthanize the dog!
"I should lead the team there myself."
In the office, Jessica Felton folded her arms and blamed herself: "If I were here, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Ronan shook his head: "He is not like this on the first day. There are still many trips to come. If there is no accident in Australia, it will also be in other places. You can't follow him at every stop. We are just doing business with him, not him. nanny."
Jessica Felton was quite angry: "How can an adult be so chaotic? He clearly knows the Australian regulations..."
"People like Depp," Ronan shook his head, "you can't speculate with common sense."
There was a knock on the door, and Connie came in and glanced at Jessica Felton.
"Is something wrong?" Ronan asked.
Connie said, "Johnny Depp's agent, Tracy Jacobs, is here."
Ronan nodded slightly: "Let her in."
Soon, Connie brought Tracy Jacob into the office.
"Good morning, Mr. Anderson." Tracy Jacob greeted quickly: "Good morning, Jesse."
"Hello." Although Jessica Felton has a lot of opinions on Johnny Depp, she still has basic courtesy.
Ronan said directly: "What are you going to do with Depp in Australia?"
Tracy Jacobs thought of the phone call from Johnny Depp. Those words could not be said directly, otherwise the consequences would be serious, so he could only say euphemistically: "Mr. Anderson, Depp happened during the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" unexpected accident, can Shahai Entertainment help?"
"How to help?" Ronan asked.
Tracy Jacobs said: "Can you send someone to pick up Depp's pet first, and then..."
Jessica Felton has always had a good temper, so she couldn't help it at this time, and smiled angrily: "Should we send another special plane?"
Thinking of Johnny Depp's request, Tracy Jacobs could only bite the bullet and say: "Depp's pets are not used to flying."
Jessica Felton is a person who is dedicated to technology, and she can't understand this kind of unreasonable request. She asked, "You want us to send a special plane to pick up two pet dogs?"
"Don't worry." Ronan walked over and patted Jessica Felton's shoulder lightly: "Don't worry."
Jessica Felton shook her head: "I just haven't seen such an unreasonable request."
"Mr. Anderson..." Tracy Jacobs was about to speak.
Ronan raised his hand to stop her: "First, I don't care how Depp's pet dog comes back."
When Tracy Jacob heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Ronan was talking about me, not Relativity Entertainment or Sand Sea Entertainment.
As an agent, she has the ability to read words and feelings, and she has conveyed Johnny Depp's words as tactfully as possible.
But according to Ronan, this directly involves his perception of Depp?
Ronan's voice was not loud: "Second, Depp immediately apologized publicly. Third, Depp must bear any punitive measures in Australia. Finally, I hope this is the last time during the cooperation period!"
Tracy Jacobs, as an agent, must be considerate of clients, distinguishing: "Mr. Anderson, Sandsea Entertainment..."
Ronan looked at her: "Do I need to emphasize that again?"
Tracey Jacobs immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and that Depp might actually be in huge trouble, not Australia.
This matter seems to be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Okay, I understand what Mr. Anderson means." Tracy Jacob said immediately, "I'll book a plane ticket and head to Australia immediately."
Ronan nodded slightly: "You'd better persuade Depp, Hollywood will not indulge his willfulness without limit."
Tracy Jacob could only nod, but she had a wry smile on her face when she left. Is she able to persuade someone like Johnny Depp?
In the office, Jessica Felton said: "Hopefully it won't affect "Pirates of the Caribbean 3."
Ronan smiled: "No. The first two films have won the series a huge reputation and a fan base. Even if Depp is an asshole, he is still the Captain Jack Sparrow walking in the real world."
"There are many difficult stars in Hollywood." Jessica Felton said: "I have also met many, but like Johnny Depp, it is unique!"
Ronan said: "A considerable number of Hollywood stars are habitual to die. If you can stop them once, you can't stop them ten times."
Jessica Felton asked curiously, "Who else did it?"
"There are many in the past." Ronan said casually: "Just wait and see, there will be more in the future."
In the future, Hollywood actors will use actual actions to interpret what it means to die.
Ronan turned to ask: "How is the preparation of "Fast and Furious 4"? The evaluation of the third part's several test screenings is very high, and it is not a problem to recover the cost."
Jessica Felton said: "Still adjusting the script, Justin Lin and I feel that there are too few action scenes in the first version of the script."
Ronan nodded: "This series is a pure popcorn movie. The action scenes must be exciting, which is directly related to success or failure."
"Don't worry." Jessica Felton said: "We will carefully design this aspect."
Facing the pressure exerted by Ronan, Tracy Jacobs did not dare to neglect in the slightest, so she flew to Australia that day. I don’t know how she persuaded Johnny Depp, a Hollywood personality star, to pass through Nai soon. Fly to share the platform, release a public apology video.
"I apologize for everything that happened in Australia. I didn't mean it, and I didn't mean it. I just didn't want to be separated from my pet dogs. They are like my family. Fortunately, I didn't hurt anyone."
After Johnny Depp apologized, Australia also responded, deciding not to file a lawsuit against Johnny Depp and no longer restricting Johnny Depp from leaving Australia after sending his pet dog back to California.
The matter can be described as a satisfactory resolution. Although there are constant criticisms of Depp in the media, the fans don't seem to have any dissatisfaction, as if everyone is treating Johnny Depp who keeps making mistakes with the most tolerant attitude.
This may also be a small thing in Johnny Depp's life.
But little things have accumulated, and one day there will be a super explosion. At that time, Johnny Depp will not be as relaxed as he is now.
There are more and more troubles surrounding such Hollywood stars.
And these are basically brought on by himself.
