Hollywood What If Chapter 365
Miramax and Walt Disney were not stupid. The two panies khat the fourth week of October was not a good time to release their movies, but it was something they had to do.
In the first pce, the movies they were releasing were not heavy hitters. Sure, they were putting money into the movies. They were also fident that the movies would make any mo all despite the odds.
So the best thing to do was to put them in a not-so-famous schedule, or else they would just let the movies rot and waste more money.
They have to release the movies iers first before selling them to the DVD market, this method gave them good profits. Since people had the mentality that if a movie was released iers first, it meant that the movie (DVD) was worth buying.
Miramax and Walt Disney couldn't release the movies in November and December because The Matrix Revolution, The Last Samurai, and Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King would domihe theaters during those two months.
Unfortunately, they also uood that Wanted 2 would do the same.
Wanted was one of four films to cross the 1 billion mark at the box offibsp;
These Brother Bear and Scary Movie 3 would be buried by Wanted 2. Walt Disney and Miramax had no choice but to accept the fact.
It was the st three months of the year and Hollywood was iing in their respective big movies like Lord Of The Rings and The Matrix to make sure they would make more money before the end of the year.

Wesley was now a criminal, he left normal society and decided to live in the world of assassins and killers.
But it was not that easy... Because he didn't know where to start and what to do.
At first it was easy because Sloan and the Fraternity were there to show him the way. He took the path of being a hitman and killing people to find and kill the "man" who killed his "father".
Everything came to nothing when he realized the truth. He avenged his real father, but now he was lost.
He didn't know what to do after everything that had happened.
John Wick suggested that he quit before he succumbed to the abyss of the underground society.
But it was too te, because Wesley Gibson was officially a wanted man. In the first, he killed a lot of people while w for the Fraternity.
Now Wesley was on the run.
But things didn't get aer.
The other members of the Fraternity who survived the destru of the anization were now hunting Wesley for revenge.

The movie ended with that, but of course the audienever left their seats. They still waited for the post-credit ses.
This became a standard procedure, as the post-credit ses were usually about the sequels and the movies that CCU would be making.
This time, Hobbs was with his team when he received important information about the missing military ons. A small group of criminals were stealing and selling these military ons and the authorities had no idea where to find them. These criminals disappeared, but new information surfaced. Dom Torero was found in the Middle East stealing oil tanks.
The se ended with Hobbs smirking and the credits rolled.
Ben Affleck was the first to stand and received a standing ovation from the audience. His fame had waned after the failure of Daredevil, but Wanted 2 gave him a ce to prove himself.
Now he realized how important a stable franchise is to keep his fame. He uood how Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger kept their popurity despite the passing of time.
These actors had franchises to star in whehey felt they were washed up.
Ben Affleck waved his hands and walked on stage with the cast of the movie.
The audience kept g. They khis movie would not disappoint them. They were looking for an a-packed movie and Wanted 2 delivered it as expected.
There have been cases where a movie has crossed 100 million in three days, but those movies were usually sequels to famous franchises... Like Wanted.
The first weekend (October 24-26) of Wanted 2 was a whopping 187.42 million.
The Big Six were not even surprised. They were expeg this amount sihe st box office was over 1 billion.
Now the biggest question was does Wanted 2 have the power to surpass 1 billion?
In history, no franchise has ever made 1 billion with every movie... Unless CCU begged to differ.
As frey Pictures and Kazir Grey. They were not looking for anything big, as long as the movie was ercially successful, everything was fihey were happy if the movie made over 700 million worldwide.
After all, Wanted 2 didn't have big characters like John Wid Bryan Mills to drive ticket sales.
