Hollywood What If Chapter 348
The Matrix Reloaded basically domihe st two weeks of May. There were no profitable movies at that time except Matrix.
The Big Six were smart enough to uand that fag something as powerful as The Matrix Reloaded would be bad for their business.
The Matrix Reloaded had a promisi and the Big Six decided not to release their movies close to Matrix Reloaded because their movies would be badly affected by Matrix Reloaded.
So within two weeks, The Matrix Reloaded easily grossed 217 million at the North Ameri box office. The Matrix gained a lot of fans all over the try. Even the fashion sense was affected by this movie because a lot of people were now wearing bck windbreakers with sungsses and things like that. The influence of this movie was massive, many people couldn't deny it.
Unfortunately, the two sequels would be a disappoi for many people. The Matrix Reloaded had a lot of philosophical ses that fused the audiend affected the box office.
"We 't follow our pn."
An Horn, the COO (Chief Operating Officer) of Warner Brothers announced in the meeting.
The results of The Matrix Reloaded were studied by professionals. Although The Matrix Reloaded made a lot of money in its first two weeks, the executives clearly saw that the audience response was not good.
emaScave the movie a B+, and that was just the first 5,000 votes. That rating would tio drop.
Based on that score alohe audience didn't like the movie. Not that much.
"If this tinues, we will have to release the third movie this year to get as much profit as possible."
If they let the third Matrix movie e out in a few years, the audience would lose all i.
So before it could happen, the executives at Warner Brreed that they had to release the third movie this year. That was the safest way.
They didn't want to wait any longer because it was obvious that the fans were losing i.
"It's a good thing we shot the sed and third movies at the same time, the Wachowskis just ime to polish the movie..."
Speaking of the Wachowskis, An Hretted that he trusted them so much. They should have trolled the movie.
Well, The Matrix Reloaded was filled with meaningless philosophy about life and stuff. The audience didn't like that at all. They wao see an a and adrenaline movie. You see, human is a simple species. They bought the tickets to wat aovie, not to get lectured.
"This year we will release the third movie to make as much profit as possible."
That is what happened in the inal timeline. Warner Brothers realized that this franchise would lose all of its value if they didn't release the third movie as soon as possible.
So they decided to release the third movie, The Matrix Revolution, in November of the same year and grab as much money as they could. Then they killed the franchise for almost two decades.
This taught them that trusting directors too mud letting them edit the movie would be too bad for business. Only a few directors like Kazir Grey had a sense of post-produ for the purpose of making money.
This director could edit a movie to eain the audienot to make some philosophical bullshit. After all, people watch movies to escape reality.
"Start promoting The Matrix Revolution. Annouhat the third movie is ing out this year," An Horn said, and ma was determio make it happen.
So yes, The Matrix Reloaded and Revolution would be released in the same year. A good move for Warner Brothers.
