"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released in a staggering 513 cinemas in the UK.

Britain is not North America, 513 movie theaters have reached their limit

It can be said that on the day of Thanksgiving on November 23, if you walk into any British cinema, the audience can see "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

In contrast, "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released in North America, reaching an astonishing 3,672 cinemas, which also set off a fiery movie-watching wave.

"Following the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" in the summer, and the release of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in November, it once again sparked a movie-watching boom in North America."

"The magical world created by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" can't help but amaze people, as if they have returned to the Middle Ages."

"The original author of the film "Harry-Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Rowling was originally just an ordinary housewife, who was once rejected by many British publishing companies. The Philosopher's Stone was recommended to the publishing company, and together with Warner Bros., it was brought to the screen."

There was a lot of praise in the North American media, and there were almost no sharp comments.

Even the most critical media and film critics have to admire Ryan Gosling's vision.

From a children's book that was rejected by many publishing companies to the sensational "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" that was released simultaneously in North America and the UK, he seems to be able to see the future.

No one can deny this point.

Of course, the director of this film, Chris Columbus, also contributed a lot.

Not only has he successfully created a magical movie, but it is also a family-friendly magical movie.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is rated G: General, All Ages General, for all ages.

If it is changed to PG rating: ordinary rating, it is recommended to watch it with the company of parents, and it will inevitably lose a large number of viewers.

That's the benefit of Orion Pictures joining forces with Warner Bros.

The original Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was rated PG, not G.

However, Orion Pictures bought MGM, became a member of the North American Film Association, and joined forces with Warner Bros. to successfully get the G rating.

At night, inside Angelina Jolie's high-rise apartment.

"Harry-Potter and the Philosopher's Stone's first-day box office is out!"

Angelina-Jolie was wearing a loose silk pajamas, her long black and thick hair was naturally scattered, and she was lying on the sofa, looking lazy.

"It must be a very astonishing box office figure." Adriana Lima was wearing a pure white off-the-shoulder long dress, her beautiful collarbone was looming, and the material of the skirt was so white that it seemed to be transparent. body.

In terms of matching, the white face, light-colored eyebrows, straight nose bridge, and reddish lips make people want to taste it.

"The North American box office hasn't come out yet."

"However, the first-day box office in the UK is already out."

Ryan hung up the phone, his eyes fell on Angelina Jolie and Adriana Lima, and he said admiringly, "As Lima said, it's a very astonishing number."

"How much!" Angelina Jolie sat up curiously and asked.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to a movie theater in Chinatown to watch "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

It's a very good film, as Angelina Jolie admits.

What surprised her the most was that there were obviously a large number of Chinese family audiences in the screening hall.

Anyone who works in Hollywood knows the horrors of a home audience.

"In dollars."

Ryan made a long note on purpose, "It's about $11.2 million."

"What!" Angelina Jolie stood up abruptly, "11.2 million dollars!"

"My God, this is the UK opening day, not North America."

Angelina Jolie couldn't believe it, the first-day box office in the UK alone reached 11.2 million US dollars.

It is conceivable how much the North American box office will be on the first day.

"is it a lot!"

Looking at Angelina Jolie who was full of surprise, Adriana Lima showed a little doubt, "I remember that the box office of "The Grinch" in North America on the first day was 15.63 million US dollars!"

"Honey, first of all you need to understand one thing. The "Grinch Christmas" you mentioned is the first-day box office in North America, and "Harry-Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the first-day box office in the UK." Angelina Jolie Specifically explain the difference between the two.

"The entire UK has a population of just over 60 million, while the population of North America exceeds 300 million, which is five times that of the UK." There was a hint of excitement in her tone.

Adriana Lima nodded half-understood, calculated and said: "Based on a population of 300 million, then the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in North America on the first day will exceed 60 million US dollars!"

Hearing Adriana Lima's calculation method, Angelina Jolie slapped her head speechlessly, "It seems that you usually need to pay more attention to the common sense of Hollywood, instead of paying attention to the fashion circle all day long."

"For any female model, Hollywood is the end goal."

Modeling careers are very short.

Even the top five supermodels in the world have a career of at most ten years.

Once the age is over thirty, no matter how famous a model will be eliminated by the fashion circle.

The careers of Hollywood female stars are much longer.

If not, you can still work behind the scenes.

However, Adriana Lima is very young and does not need to think about the future yet.

"Lima, you forgot one thing."

"The influence of this film in the UK far exceeds that in North America." Ryan was also a little speechless.

$60 million box office on the first day!

In a short period of time, no Hollywood film can do it.

The first film in the previous life with a first-day box office of more than 60 million U.S. dollars should be "Batman: The Dark Knight", with a first-day box office of 67.16 million U.S. dollars, followed by "Spider-Man 3" with a box office of 59.84 million U.S. dollars.

"According to the estimates of Orion Pictures, Warner Bros. and theater companies, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in North America on the first day is about 30 million US dollars." Ryan said an estimated figure.

It will take a few hours for the theater company to calculate the specific box office data.

However, Orion Pictures, Warner Bros., and theater companies can calculate an approximate figure based on a day's screenings.

$30 million!

Angelina Jolie stared at her beautiful eyes, as if she was talking to herself: "If I remember correctly, the box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" released in the summer vacation was 22.36 million US dollars on the first day."

The midnight box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was 10.28 million US dollars, and the box office on the first day was 22.36 million US dollars. The midnight box office only exceeded 30 million US dollars, reaching an astonishing 32.64 million US dollars at the box office.

"It's just an estimate."

After walking to the sofa and sitting down, Ryan put his arms around Angelina Jolie, and kissed her on the red lips, "We will have to wait a while to find out the specific box office data."

While speaking, Ryan walked up and down with his hands, stroking the sensitive parts, "It's enough for us to celebrate."

In the early hours of midnight, in Orion Films, Jon Felthammer looked at the busy staff through the glass window in the office.

"Did the statistics come out!" Jon Fertimer looked a little nervous.

The first-day box office of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" not only marks the success of the series jointly produced by Orion Pictures and Warner Bros., but also relates to the future position of Orion Pictures in Hollywood.

Although Orion Pictures bought MGM~www.novelbuddy.com~, one of the seven major film companies in Hollywood, and the summer file "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" was a global box office hit, and the superhero movie "X-Men" started Success.

But Orion Films has not become a Hollywood giant in the true sense.

A film company without the support of a media group, the media and Hollywood people only recognized the three-level division, and believed that Orion Films became the second level of Hollywood.

Once "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was a big box office hit on the first day, it even surpassed "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

So sitting on the top two positions in this year's North American box office rankings, Orion Films' influence in Hollywood will definitely take a big step forward.

Don't forget that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring are just the beginning of two franchises.

In the next one to two years, or even longer, Orion Pictures will firmly occupy the top position in the North American box office rankings.
