American girls, they think it's a compliment.

What else can Iwata say?

"Okay, you've done a great job!"

Everyone laughed, the performance of "Happy Death Day" in the second week really came with a big counterattack!

And this week, "Cornfield" was released, but this movie is very scary, but it didn't achieve the expected box office.

"Happy Death Day" topped the weekend box office in its second week with $880 million.

This small-budget movie has already won a box office of nearly 3000 million US dollars so far, and it is directly a big dark horse in the Halloween schedule.

Takeshi Iwata is right about this... Hurry up, do some work, and send it back to Japan!

……

Chapter 336 Xiao Ren, a big star!

"Kids in the Cornfield Didn't Live Up to Expectations!"

"'Happy Death Day' was well received!"

"Candyman fights hard!"

As time goes by, the situation in the North American film market has become increasingly clear.

"Children in the Cornfield", an adaptation of Stephen King's novel by the king of horror, did not achieve the expected box office after its release.

Although it can't be said to be a hit on the street, the box office did not perform very well.

Much worse than the first one.

Of course, the producers came out right away and said they would continue to make a sequel.

Obviously, I have to hold the Buddha of 'King of Terror' tightly in my heart.

As for why the box office of this movie is not so good, the reason is actually very interesting.

The key to the horror of the 'Cornfield' series of films is actually a 'mysterious power' as well, and as far as the novels are concerned, it doesn't really explain what the mysterious power is.

Yes, still no explanation.

The filming of this movie seems to give fans a solution to the problem left in the book.

Well, explain it, explain it well.

Plus, there's another crux of the franchise that's scary.

'Children', this is another important element of the movie. Simply put, the success of the last movie is that children kill adults.

It doesn't matter if you can't see it, just think about it.

Children, holding the sickle for cutting rice, and then killing adults bloody.

It's really scary.

But in the second part, due to some reasons, it was probably too bloody and scary, so some cuts were made.

Just a simple guess, maybe it is because some departments of the US Empire are also afraid that this movie will affect the birth rate.

Well, this is total wild guessing.

But anyway, the film was indeed menacing, but soon died down.

In this way, the two films "Candy Man" and "Happy Death Day" that were in the limelight before directly replaced them.

'Cornfield' is considered a big production among horror films, and it takes up a relatively large number of films.

But now, there is no more schedule for this movie, so of course it's up to whoever sells it.

In fact, "Candy Man" is not a small production, the heroine Virginia Madsen, she was named one of the most beautiful stars in Hollywood by a magazine in 1986.

This evaluation is fair, her face is definitely not bad.

But, that was already in 1986.

Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.

She is still very beautiful, but unfortunately, Jennifer is younger and more energetic.

Plus that 'interpretation' problem.

In the battle between two horror films, "Happy Death Day" overwhelmed "Candyman" step by step.

Until November, when Halloween actually comes.

The United States is also interesting. There are some girls who are very bold and unrestrained, and they cosplay the movie.

That's right, there are people in the carnival, wearing nothing...

Of course, this is mostly happening in California, other states are already cold this season.

From this point of view, Americans will still play.

But judging from these COS, it seems that many people agree with some of Terry's actions.

It also shows how popular this movie is now.

Well, the box office is not very high, after all, that's what this schedule is all about.

Can these messages be sent back to Japan?

……

"Great success! Director Iwata bravely challenged a new field!"

"Big shock! Director Iwata made Japanese horror films come to Hollywood!"

"Big dark horse! Supervisor Iwata was originally favored by no one!"

The Japanese media immediately boiled over, and these guys started to do big work again.

Chuan Er is full of breath, as if Takeshi Iwata has conquered Hollywood.

However, this also shows the current situation in Japan.

Super Plus enjoy!

The box office of "Fast and Furious" was already very successful before, but everyone has seen that movie.

Although it is the skin of drag racing, the inside is still Takeshi Iwata's old routine of "undercover".

Takeshi Iwata is different this time, directly creating a new field.

Horror film!

For now, Takeshi Iwata already has a reputation as a master of gangster movies in the Japanese film circle.

Of course, many people were not happy with this statement.

Kinji Fukasaku is the first to bear the brunt.

But it’s nothing, in short, everyone knows very well that you, Takeshi Iwata, have the best grasp of gangster movies.

Even if you shoot romance movies, there are gangster elements in it.

You Iwata often appear as the Yakuza spirit boy.

But this time it's a horror movie, I haven't really seen it before.

Also, it has nothing to do with gangsters.

What excites the media the most is that there are two films this time!

One Japanese version, one American version.

What does this show?

"Will Director Iwata continue this practice in the future, that is to say, for a movie, he will make two versions, so that fans in Japan and the United States can watch it!"

"That's right! It's very possible!"

"Iwata-san is indeed Si Kuniichi!"

Not to mention, the possibility of shooting two versions in the future is not small.

However, it was TV Tokyo who made a big fuss about this possibility this time.

Rainbow farts are addictive.

Regardless of whether it is a rainbow fart or what, TV Tokyo, apart from having no morals, has no morals.

They managed to be reliable this time, and they should be praised.

So, will Takeshi Iwata do this in the future?

Regardless of whether it will or not, the Japanese version of "Happy Death Day" has indeed been greatly affected.

……

"Say, what are you going to do next, girl?"

"How to do what?"

"Oh? Do you still want to mess around?"

"Sister, what are you talking about?"

"What can I say? This time "Happy Death Day" can be said to be a great success! Can't you girl express my gratitude to your sister and me?"

"Ah? This..."

"You ungrateful girl! Who put so much effort into helping you enter Dongbao!"

"But……"

"What do you want to say? Do you want to say that this movie has little to do with Dongbao? Huh?"

"no no……"

Xiaoren really can't laugh or cry, his own sister is too good at this.

Actually, it was a joke.

Miho saw that the key to her sister's success in this movie was her role as the heroine, which has a different meaning.

Just before, the news that the box office of "Happy Death Day" exceeded 20 billion yen has already come.

Dongbao directly put up a big poster for this.

After all, as far as the current schedule is concerned, it is rare to have such a high-grossing movie.

You know, 20 box office is considered a threshold, and it is already certain that it can enter the top ten of the year.

Movies are still being released now, and in the future it will definitely be more than 20 billion.

In particular, the news coming from the United States at the moment all stimulates the Japanese's admiration for foreigners.

Americans say that movies are good, so can they be bad?

Check it out!

It should be said that it is a must see.

Because sometimes, movies are actually a fad.

The simplest example is in a social scene, if someone mentions the topic of the current movie.

So, what to do?

That's right, what movie is the most fashionable right now?

The most interesting, thoughtful, or whatever...

You have to say 123, otherwise, how can this social interaction continue, right?

Movies sometimes play such a role, and because of this, the box office will be stimulated.

"Happy Death Day" is like this. The United States has agreed, which is tantamount to a kind of certification.

The Japanese are absolutely, flocking to it.

In this way, although Miho is not as educated as her younger sister, she is really a smart girl.

"Sister, you are really going to become a big star this time."
