The impact of popular movies is all-round, especially for major Hollywood studios, following the trend is always one of the production models with the least risk.

Just when Ronan held a production meeting and confirmed that the last two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be filmed in the form of a set shot, some news in the Hollywood circle was also circulating everywhere.

Many production companies, including the six major companies, are discussing the feasibility of shooting new Pirate films.

For studios, following the trend is never a shame.

Ronan doesn't care about such things. Strictly speaking, he does a lot of things to follow the trend.

For example, "Hurricane Rescue" is a typical work that follows the trend of "Spy Shadows".

And it's not enough to follow the trend, and the sequel to this film has been put on the agenda, because Liam Neeson is filming "Batman: The Moment of War", so filming will not start until next year and will be released in 2004 or 2005.

In the past "Hurricane Rescue 2", Liam Neeson was too old. Many action shots had to use a lot of stand-ins and rely on post-production editing to connect, resulting in a very clean and exciting action scene in the first part. It was a bit terrible when it came to the second part.

There is no need to worry about these things now. Because of age, Liam Neeson is in good health, and has filmed "Hurricane Rescue" and "Batman: The Moment of War" and has been receiving professional training.

Ronan's plan is to finish filming the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy before Liam Neeson's physical condition completely declined.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" then ushered in its second weekend after its release in North America.

As a typical movie New Year, you can see first-line productions everywhere in this crowded summer season.

This weekend, "The Jedi Men 2" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia, produced by Jerry Brookheimer, directed by Michael Bay, and starring Will Smith, will be released.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the list of the main creators, you can tell the strength of this action crime film.

Moreover, the production cost of "Jedi Men 2" is as high as 130 million US dollars, which is definitely one of the top-tier productions today.

Ronan also came to Miami from Los Angeles at the invitation of Will Smith and Sony Columbia to attend the premiere of the film.

In 1994, gold medal producer Jerry Brookheimer collaborated with unknown advertising and MV director Michael Bay to produce "The Jedi Men", while the starring starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, who were new to the film industry, unexpectedly became the box office and profit champions of Columbia Pictures in 1995, and earned more than 140 million US dollars worldwide.

"The Jedi Men" thus became the stepping stone for Michael Bay, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence to enter Hollywood, and the video tape and DVD also flourished in the following years.

Especially Michael Bay and Will Smith, the successful transformation brought by "The Jedi Men" also made them world-class movie characters.

The former is recognized as the "explosion maniac", while the latter is respected as the "Shihuang".

This is a typical Michael Bay movie, a typical work full of androgens, and can be regarded as a direct manifestation of the driving force for human desire to destroy.

The American Hummer crosses a small bungalow in Cuba, and the real man Will Smith never looks back at the explosion!

As for plot logic, since "The Island of Deadly", there is no such thing in Michael Bay's movies, and it is not necessary.

Even unreliable oil workers can fly into space and angrily fuck an asteroid. What does a real man never look back and sees the explosion?

On the Internet on the other side of the Pacific, someone commented on "Jedi Men 2", Will Smith and Martin Lawrence were responsible for the Jedi Men, and Michael Bay was responsible for the 2...

But these have never been a big deal in the eyes of film company bosses and investors.

For example, Ronan, Sony Columbia, Walt Disney and other producers who have worked with Michael Bay, seem to be a good director!

Its value is higher than that of David Lynch and Woody Allen and multiplying it by five.

Director Michael Bay never has to worry about financing, nor has anyone to worry about investing in films, because Michael Bay is worth every dollar invested by the film company.

For those films with great art directors, investors and producers must carefully calculate how much money they can earn at the box office and how much money they can recover offline, and how many years will it take for offline markets to generate profits.

Since directing the first film "The Jedi Men", Michael Bay's films never seem to have to worry too much about this problem.

"Jedi Men 2" is no exception.

On the first day of its release in the North American market, this action crime blockbuster won $16.88 million, squeezed out "Pirates of the Caribbean" and became the box office champion of the day.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" dropped to second place with $14.85 million.

However, Michael Bay's films have always had a fair reputation, and the trends are mostly high and low. Although the crazy explosions attract audiences, they are also prone to aesthetic and visual fatigue.

If "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a commercial fast food movie that tends to be young, then Michael Bay's movie is a super fast food among fast food.

Generally speaking, since Friday is a weekday and Saturday is a typical day off, many films have better box offices on Saturday than Friday.

However, this conventional box office trend is obviously not suitable for real men to never look back at the explosion.

The second day after the release of "The Jedi Men", that week, the box office in a single day fell by 4% and closed at $16.2 million.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" showed strong vitality and rebound momentum, closing at $17.41 million on the same day, snatching back the single-day box office champion from "The Jedi Men".

The good audience reputation has enabled Pirates of the Caribbean to maintain a stable and strong box office trend.

When the second weekend passed, the Pirates of the Caribbean's box office fell by only 35% from the first weekend, and another $46.86 million was added.

Although "Jedi Men" has been showing a declining box office trend during the three days of the opening weekend, its overall performance is also quite good, with the opening weekend closing at $46.52 million.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" came from behind and won the North American box office championship again, while the newly-developed "The Jedi Men" could only rank second in the box office list with a slight disadvantage.

Two weeks after its release, the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" easily exceeded the $100 million mark, earning $151.92 million in just ten days.

This Pirate movie not only eliminated the decline of previous movies of the same type, but also had an extremely popular box office, but more importantly, it has drawn an extremely stable box office trend with a good reputation among the audience.

At the same time, statistics from the offline distribution department of the Embassy Films were also delivered to Ronan. "Pirates of the Caribbean" has influenced the entire film market and countless fans with its infinite charm. While the box office was booming, it also led to the hot sales of the surrounding markets. Related peripheral products sold for nearly 30 million US dollars in ten days.

In addition, six or seven companies have begun to negotiate with Embassy Films on the Pirates of the Caribbean related product authorization.

The market in this area is very large.

After the release of "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret", Warner Bros. once authorized the copyright of the product use of the "Harry Potter" series. A total of 12 companies obtained various product licenses, while Warner Bros. earned more than $320 million in just ten years of licensing fees.

Many big-selling movies can create far higher output value than in cinemas.

The popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in North America was quickly spread overseas by the now-developed media network. The overseas publicity and distribution of Embassy Films are also in full swing. Starting from mid-July, this pirate epic blockbuster has successively promoted the most important international film markets in Hollywood such as Europe, Latin America, East Asia and Australia.

Thanks to the film's popularity in North America and its rising box office, as well as the film's strong commercial identity and unique charm of the blockbuster, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released overseas and also set off a wave of pirates.

If the little blacksmith Will Turner was taking the orthodox iron man route, it was not rare in Hollywood movies in the past, and Captain Jack Sparrow's charm can be described as "unstoppable".

"Johnny Depp was born for a very evil character like Jack Sparrow."

"The enchanting charisma between Jack Sparrow and his orchid fingers makes people feel intoxicated."

"The moment when the movie really took off was when Captain Jack ran away for the first time, he grabbed the rope and swung upwards, downwards, and outwards, my heart kept that happy state until the end of the movie."

"A good movie, the plot is really attractive, and Depp is really handsome! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"The enchanting pirate captain reminded me of a sentence in an instant - forgive me to be unruly and love freedom in this life!"

It seems that every time the movie is released in a country or region, Captain Jack Sparrow's charm can easily conquer the fans there.

Perhaps the comments from the British Times expressed the voices of many people.

"Captain Jack Sparrow, a crazy character who is above the plot! Johnny Depp, a magical actor with a unique personality! The screenwriter of the film is powerful, the festival is compact, and the special effects are amazing. How can people not love it!"

Before Captain Jack Sparrow appeared, no one would have thought that such a free madman, a tyrannical pirate who was both righteous and evil could produce infinite charm.

Therefore, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become inevitable for its popularity overseas.

Three days after the Australian premiere weekend, Pirates of the Caribbean almost crazily won $6.6 million, even above Spider-Man.
