Chatty Hollywood

Unlike the other side of the Pacific, where the commercial film market is still in its early stages of development, in cinemas here in North America, the surging tsunami caused by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is already raging everywhere.

Since 2000, some theater chains in North America have tried to show some 3D movies, which has gradually increased the number of 3D cinemas in North America. The several blockbusters Charlotte has shot in recent years have also contributed to the situation.

In particular, "Inception", which used the combination of magic effects and modern technology to achieve some of the 3D effects of Yiguoyan, has made all theater companies see the potential of this kind of movie.

For this reason, in the past year or so, even the number of IMAX large screens has increased in North America.

And "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is a blessing in this regard——

Because of the influence of "Inception", many moviegoers directly booked tickets for nearby cinemas with IMAX screens after watching the trailer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

——This brings the online booking amount of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" to an exaggerated 50 million US dollars.

And this movie did not disappoint them——

"The big fight at the end of the movie alone is worth the price of admission!"

At the entrance of an IMAX cinema near Burbank, Howard excitedly said to Rajesh as he walked,

"Especially when the Flying Dutchman broke out of the water at the end and flanked Lord Beckett's ship with the Black Pearl, it was so cool!"

"yes!"

Rajesh also nodded,

"However, this should be the last part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, right? I always feel sad after watching it!"

"If you say so..."

Howard sniffed,

"It seems a bit..."

"right?"

Rajesh continued,

"Especially at the end of the movie, when Captain Jack drives the boat into the distance, it feels like the pirate story is saying goodbye to us."

"It feels like an unforgettable time in your life has passed."

Howard also understood what his Indian friend meant,

"I wonder if those people also had this reluctant feeling when they saw the end of the "Star Wars" series?"

"There will definitely be. Isn't that what the poem said--"

It was rare that Rajesh's face lost its mean expression and became somewhat artistic.

"I believe everything can be heard,

Even foreseeing separation and meeting another self,

And some moments cannot be grasped,

No matter how much you wander around, what is gone will never come back..."

"Tagore!?"

"Yes."

Rajesh nodded,

"His "Life is Like a Summer Flower", have you read this poem?"

"That's not true."

Howard shook his head,

"It's just that the only Indian poet I know is Rabindranath Tagore."

"..."

After being choked by his friend's shamelessness, Rajesh sighed,

"Anyway, this "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy series has been with us for more than four years. It is normal for us to be a little sad at the end."

"you're right!"

Howard nodded,

"Although it is not as good as those series that span ten or eight years, in recent years, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is indeed our favorite fantasy movie!"

"Yeah, even that guy Sheldon bought himself a pirate hat..."

"so,

After watching this movie, what we say goodbye to is actually a period of our own lives, right? "

Howard's words were also a little sad. However, Rajesh showed a strange smile at this moment,

"What you said is right! But don't you think it's okay to say goodbye a few times?"

"yes!"

Howard clasped his hands together and clapped his hands,

"Let's say goodbye to Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Miss Elizabeth again!"

"good idea!"

Rajesh nodded,

"By the way, do you want to call Leonard and Sheldon?"

"them!?"

Howard thought for a while,

"Howard took Penny to watch a movie with us, but somewhere in the movie triggered Penny's tears. As soon as the movie ended, he took Penny to a nearby hotel to comfort her."

"...Will you comfort me for a night?"

"Well, it will comfort you all night."

Howard raised his eyebrows, but his tone became a little weak,

"Of course, it depends on Leonard's physical condition."

"——Then I won't be able to comfort you all night!"

After saying these words, Rajesh, who was also a little weak, became more energetic.

"What about Sheldon?"

"...Let's go buy tickets quickly! The atmosphere is so lively, maybe if it's a little later, we won't be able to buy tickets!"

"you're right!"

So, the two of them hurried to the ticket office of the cinema. They seemed to have forgotten something, but they seemed not to have forgotten anything...

******

Of course, realize that this movie is a farewell to the "pirates", not just Howard and others.

In fact, many people who have experienced "Pirates of the Caribbean" 1 and 2 and fell in love with this group of weird and wonderful pirates participated in the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" driven by their feelings.

And this feeling is reflected in the box office of the movie. It is very common for a movie to exceed 100 million in two days and become the top box office champion in North America.

In fact, because the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was held simultaneously on both sides of the Pacific, and even globally, the visual "tsunami" brought by "Pirates of the Caribbean" suddenly swept the world -

Take the other side of the Pacific as an example. "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" suddenly broke many domestic box office records previously held by "Titanic" and quickly became a hot movie.

And on the island countries and peninsulas that are "just a strip of water", pirates are also wreaking havoc.

Especially the island country, which has always been relatively unconventional in box office rankings and relies on various animated theater versions and animated live-action movies to dominate the world, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has also achieved a crushing effect.

As for Europe and other traditions, there is a tradition of pirates. There is no cultural barrier to accepting "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", let alone...

And all of this finally converged into Disney’s Los Angeles headquarters——

"Look, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" may follow "Inception" and become a movie that can hit the global box office record of "Titanic"!"

Robert Iger, who has secured the top spot at Disney, excitedly held up the box office analysis report in his hand and said to Philip Biermann,

"This situation shows that this series still has great potential to continue to be explored. I think the plan for the fourth part can already start to unfold!"

"However, Director Charlotte has no plans to continue directing the series."

As Iger's loyal subordinate, Philip Biermann directly pointed out the biggest problem at present,

"Although we have previously reached an agreement with Specter Studio on the subsequent copyright planning of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and have accepted the fact that Charlotte will no longer direct - but for now, this series can be successful. In other words, the most important factor in being able to succeed to this level may be Charlotte. Without him..."

"yes!"

Thinking of this most troublesome thing, Robert Egger couldn't help but have a headache...
