Hollywood What If Chapter 251
August 3rd arrived and the people from Sony-bia did their best for the premiere of Bruce Almighty. The cast of the movie, especially Jim Carrey, Man Freeman, Steven Carell and the others, walked the red carpet one by one. Presenting themselves to the media.
As the swriter of the film, Kazir also attehe premiere. Like the actors, he also walked on the red carpet. On his left arm was Angelina Jolie in her sexy dress.
Even though he was only the swriter, the attention Kazir brought was tremendous. He was not an actor, yet he was the ter of the cameras.
The reition he had after so many successful films made his position as a scriptwriter elevated. Usually, only the director, the cast and important guests would walk on the red carpet.
At the time of Se7en's premiere, Kazir didn't have the status to be part of the red carpet. He used the backstage entranstead, ah, he was with Reese Witherspoon at that time.
Another reason he showed up at the premiere was to pre-promote Spider-Man. If you keep showing your face to the public, they will remember you and the things associated with you.
'But if I'm n, people might remember the tial ematiiverse movies more than Spider-Man if they see my face.' Kazir thought.
Kazir always had a cameo in every tial ematiiverse movie. The produ crew had already set up a schedule for him to film a cameo, even though The Fast and The Furious and John Wick Chapter 2 were still in pre-produ.
"Good evening, Ms. Jolie and Mr. Grey."
"Good evening to you as well."
"Is it true that you reended Jim Carrey and Man Freeman for this movie?"
"Jim is the face of edy right now. As for Man, I've worked with the guy and he's a nid talented actor."
Of course, no red carpet would be plete without interviews.
"gratutions, Mr. Grey. You just broke the record for the highest grossing movie of June."
"Thank you."
Kazir and Angelina smiled. Of course they were proud that their movie was getting reition.
The worldwide box office for Wanted had reached 753 million!
The performance of Wanted in North America had been steady, earning a million or two every day. This was a matter of course. Two months had passed and Wanted was already running out of gas.
Even the number of theaters that showed the movie dropped to 1500 theaters. The North Ameri box office of Wanted was currently 431 million dolrs.
But iionally it was different, the movie just passed its first month of iional release and it already grossed 322 million.
In fact, even though all of Kazir's movies have been successful, none of them have crossed the 800 million mark. But from the looks of it, Wanted definitely had the power to do so.
No, the predi was that the movie could surpass 900 million or maybe even 1 billion. If that happened, Wanted would be the fourth movie to gross 1 billion!
Kazir had been in the business since 1988, when he worked as a crew member on Rain Man.
Then he signed with Carl Morin and made horror movies until WMA kicked him out of the agency. Then his ex-wife filed for divorce... Then the memories of his future life overtook him aarted his real journey.

'I 't believe I'm getting to this moment where one of my movies has a ce to go over 1 billion.' He was genuinely happy.
That was one of the hardest things to aplish in this industry, making more than 1 billion box offibsp;

The summer schedule acked, no doubt about it. Every week new movies would be released to pete in this lucrative schedule.
August was the st month of the summer, and the Big Six wao make sure they milked the audieh more ticket sales.
On August 3, the public had three big movies to choose from.
First ace Cowboys, distributed by Warner Brothers.
Sed was Coyote Ugly from Walt Disney.
Third was Bruce Almighty.
These three would pete for first pbsp;
... The winner of the first weekend was obviously Bruce Almighty, hah! We were talking about Jim Carrey. Also, the swriter of this movie was Kazir Grey. Everyone khat Kazir's scripts were alrofitable. The only question was how much mohey could make.
The first weekend (August 3-6) of the three movies was not too bad.
Space Cowboys grossed 18.09 million.
Coyote Ugly took in 17.31 million.
The two did well, too bad they ran into Bruce Almighty.
Bruce Almighty made 67.95 million!
There were many factors as to why this happened. Jim Carrey and Kazir Grey were part of it.
Jim Carrey had a very strong box office appeal. When audiences found out that Jim Carrey was the protagonist of this movie, they became ied in watg it. The movie was also eaining, it had good word of mouth and people praised it.
I mean, the plot of the movie was about a guy who gets the power of God. He do almost anything with that power.
In this world, who hasn't wao be God? Who didn't want to have superpowers to rule over humanity and rule the world?
Sony-bia already khat they had the month of August all to themselves. Most of the Big Six's big-budget films had already been released before August, such as The Perfect Storm, Mission: Impossible 2 and Gdiator.
The schedule to prepare for was October and November. Speaking of November, Charlie's Angels was scheduled to open in November.
