Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 533

Chapter 533 Rust and Bone is released

"Rust and Bone" earned 7.38 million euros in its second week of release in France, and the film was also released in other regions.

In North America, when the media was hyping up the news about Link's award, they revealed a lot of plots, saying that the movie included Link's naked performance and a passionate scene with Marion Cotillard.

This also led to "Rust and Bone" gaining extremely high popularity even before it was released, becoming one of the most anticipated movies of the summer.

"Rust and Bone" was screened in 6 theaters in North America on May 20 and grossed US$828,000 in three days. The average box office per theater was as high as US$46,000, making it the summer R-rated film with the best box office performance per theater. .

During the screening period, the film's reputation was also very good. More than a dozen media gave it a rating of 8.5 or above. The Rotten Tomatoes score was 74%, with 32 people supporting it and 9 people opposing it.

The passionate scene between Link and Marion Cotillard is also considered the sexiest and hottest scene this year.

Link was once again named 'Sexiest Actor of the Year' by Vanity Fair for his strong and **** body.

Five days after being screened, "Rust and Bone" began to be released in 2,339 theaters in North America, with a box office of US$38.55 million in its first week, ranking third behind "Fast and Furious 6" and "The Hangover 3" released at the same time. .

In its first week of release in Japan, the film grossed an astonishing 6.94 billion yen, or approximately US$46.05 million, surpassing "Fast and Furious 6" released in the same period and "Star Trek Into Darkness" released last week. Blockbusters such as "Iron Man 3" released last week topped the box office for the week.

It also broke the box office record for French films in Japan.

According to Japanese media reports, 72% of the movie's audience were adult women, which means that Link single-handedly earned more than 40 million US dollars in box office in Japan in one week.

This data is extremely exaggerated.

The Japanese media believes that this data is normal. In the past few years, Link's photo album has been the best-selling printed matter in Japan. Almost every Japanese adult woman owns at least one of his photo albums.

This time he boldly exposed himself in "Rust and Bone" and filmed passionate scenes in person.

Those Japanese female fans will naturally not miss this good movie.

In South Korea, "Rust and Bone" had 3.55 million moviegoers in its first week, slightly behind "Fast and Furious 6"'s 3.87 million. However, "Rust and Bone" is a restricted art film, and "Fast and Furious 6" is For commercial films, this difference is not big.

In China, after review and editing, "Rust and Bone" was also screened in major theaters. The box office in its first week was 46.77 million yuan, ranking fifth in the same period and the only art film.

In addition, box office performance in countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, and Belgium is also good.

In its first week of release, the global box office of "Rust and Bone" reached an astonishing US$165 million, which is quite good for a low-cost movie costing only US$24 million.

At the same time, the film company saw that his **** scenes were very popular, so they sent him many more explicit scripts, including long and passionate scenes, and the salary was even more than 30 million.

Not only the six major film studios, but also the production department of Lionsgate Pictures are also preparing to pursue his idea.

"My dear, do you want to think about it? Many women want to watch your passionate scenes."

In the office, Ivaca looked at the script and smiled.

"Don't think about it. If you do this kind of scenes too much, you'll get tired of it."

Link said.

The main reason is that there is no good script. If there were more classic movies such as "Rust and Bone" and "Lust, Caution", he wouldn't mind doing it again. It's a pity that the scripts submitted by Lionsgate and other companies are of average quality and hook. If you don't interest him, you won't be able to bring him awards.

He wouldn't make this kind of movie just for money.

"My dear, you are a professional actor. You can shoot whatever the audience likes to see. You should learn to serve the audience."

Ivaca smiled.

Link put down the newspaper and looked at her, "You really want to see me make this kind of movie?"

"Yes, the newspaper said your **** is sexy. I saw it on the big screen and it's true."

Ivaca pursed her red lips and smiled jokingly.

"Haha, that's right. You're very brave. If you dare to tease me, I won't be polite."

Link walked up behind her, kissed her red lips, and put his palms into the most comfortable place to mess with her.

After a while, Ivaca's face turned red and she begged him for mercy in a gentle voice.

Link held her for a while and then graciously let her go.

"Taylor is right, you are a pervert."

Ivaca adjusted her dress and gave him a fierce look. She originally had a cool appearance and a solemn temperament, but now her face was flushed and her eyes were full of spring water. When she rolled her eyes, she looked doubly charming.

"You and Taylor have a common language? This is not a good thing."

Link laughed.

"I don't think so. Taylor said that I have to be strict with you and not just let you do everything. I think Taylor is right."

Ivaca arranged her clothes, her expression became cold again, her temperament returned to dignity, and she spoke in the tone of a domineering female president. "Then just listen to her and see how I deal with you tonight. It's useless for you to beg for mercy this time."

Link said grimly.

Ivaca rolled her eyes at him again, opened the file and continued reading the information.

Link smiled softly and continued reading the newspaper.

In May, among the movies released by Lionsgate Pictures, in addition to "Rust and Bone", "Identity Thief", "Red Flame 2" and "The Marriage Counselor", there is also an action movie "Now You See Me" .

"Identity Thief" currently has a North American box office of 152 million US dollars and an overseas box office of 55 million. The global box office exceeded 200 million US dollars this week.

It is also the second movie this year to have a global box office of over 200 million after "The Expendables 2".

"Red Flame Battlefield 2" has been released for more than a month, with a North American box office of 61.17 million and an overseas box office of 106 million US dollars. This movie has exhausted its potential in the North American market and can probably recover several million from the overseas box office.

It is expected to just break even.

"Dark Lady 3" was released in early May, with a current box office of 56.39 million U.S. dollars and an overseas box office of 24.48 million U.S. dollars. This movie brought about more than 30 million yuan in profit to the company, which is not bad.

"Now You See Me" is one of Lionsgate's key projects this year.

This movie tells the story of a group of highly intelligent thieves who formed a magic team called the "Four Horsemen". They used cutting-edge technology and a gorgeous stage as a cover to complete extraordinary thefts in full view of the public. At the same time, their actions also annoyed the FBI agents. Member Rhodes, for this reason the two sides battled with wits and courage.

It's a bit like "Cat and Mouse" starring Leonardo DiCaprio in 2002, but this movie has more gorgeous scenes and more actors. The action movie is sandwiched with many wonderful magic performances, which is full of attractions.

This week, the movie grossed US$36.86 million at the box office in 2,949 theaters in North America during its first three days of premiere, ranking second in the weekly box office, second only to "Fast and Furious 6".

"The Hangover 3", which was originally regarded as a key project by Warner Pictures, received poor reviews after its release. It only took in US$23 million at the box office this week, a drop of 68%.

Not only "The Hangover 3" was on the block at the same time, but also the science fiction movie "Back to Earth" released by Sony Pictures. This movie starred Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith and cost $130 million to produce.

It was released this week and grossed US$27.52 million at the box office in 3,401 theaters in its first three days. After its release, it received poor reviews, with a Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating of only 11% and a Yahoo audience score of 46. It is also one of the lowest-rated movies this year.

After seven days of release, the box office was only 35.44 million U.S. dollars. In the next five days, the box office was less than 8 million. The North American box office is expected to be less than 60 million.

Thanks to the box office flops of "The Hangover Part 3" and "Back to Earth," "Now You See Me" saw little box office decline this week, with revenue of US$32.3 million, ranking second in the weekly box office.

The total amount reached 69.16 million US dollars.

Overseas box office data is better than that in North America, with revenue of US$125 million in the first week.

"Rust and Bone", which was released in its third week in North America, once again grossed US$12.07 million at the box office this week. The cumulative box office in North America reached US$74.28 million, ranking fifth in the weekly box office rankings.

The cumulative overseas box office revenue reached 162 million US dollars.

The global box office exceeded the 200 million mark, becoming the third Lionsgate film to achieve a global box office of over 200 million.

Lionsgate and Paris Rose Pictures expect revenue to exceed $100 million.

Lionsgate's movies have been hits one after another, while movies released by the six major film studios have been box-office stinkers one after another.

"The Hollywood Reporter" said that in the next few months, if the six major film studios cannot cheer up in the box office market in time, Lionsgate Pictures will still be able to win this year based on the performance of the current movies plus the box office of "The Hunger Games 2". It is possible to become one of the top five companies in the industry.

If Lionsgate Pictures remains in the top five or three for two consecutive years, the management of the six major film studios will usher in a second round of adjustments.

The pressure on the six major film studios will also increase.

"Honey, you can get off work now."

Link said while looking at his watch.

Ivaca glanced at him from behind the computer, "I still have some work here, why don't you go home first?"

"How long will it take to finish it? I can hold on a little longer."

Link said after taking a sip of water.

Ivaca blinked her long eyelashes and smiled: "You like watching me work?"

"Yes, women who work hard are the most beautiful."

"Okay, then I've decided to work overtime. How about you watching me for a while?"

"No, I'll give you ten minutes. We'll go home in ten minutes, then eat, take a bath, ML, and cuddle up until dawn."

Link said pointing to his watch.

Ivaca rolled her eyes at him charmingly, smiled slightly, and continued to tap on the keyboard with her slender fingers to speed up her work.
