Hollywood What If Chapter 366
Wanted was the Avengers of CCU, but Wanted 2 was not Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
So even if Wanted 2 was ercially successful, it would be hard for the movie to top 1 billion.
The movie didn't have any heavy characters and most of the cast was new.
Despite this fact, the sed week of Wanted 2 did well at the box office. Ten days of sing made 292.62 million. An expected amount since Wanted 2's predecessor was a 1 billion movie.
As for Wanted 2's two petitors, their box office did well despite the petition. The differen genre made up for Scary Movie 3 and Brother Bear to make money.
Walt Disney's Brother Bear earned 49.52 million.
Miramax's Scary Movie 3 grossed 77.54 million.
The winner was clear and the differeweehree movies was huge in terms of box offibsp;
This gap would tio grow as the days went by.
Scary Movie 3 and Brother Bear only had around 3000 theaters showing the movie while Wanted 2 surely had over 4000 theaters.
This was also one of the factors why Wanted 2 did better.
The ema Alliance was not stupid. The CCU movies were proven, so of course they would put more resources into Wanted 2. It is safe to say that 65% of theaters in the Uates and ada were currently showing these three movies, sihe Uates and ada had the most theaters in North Ameribsp;
Walt Disney and Miramax were already happy with the results and hoped that the box office would tio grow...
However, their hopes would be dashed after ten days of steady profit.
ema Alliand the Big Six had a tract that allowed ema Alliao reduce the number of theaters if the movie was not doing well... They used this cuse to reduce the theaters for Brother Bear and Scary Movie 3 to 2800 theaters.
Walt Disney and Miramax didn't like this o, but ema Alliance's decision was firm.
As for Wanted 2, it certainly didn't get the cut.
Instead, ema Alliance added the subtracted theaters to the movie on the market, which was The Matrix Revolutions. The final installment of the Matrix trilogy.
The movie opened in 3800 theaters in its first week.
Warner Brothers realized that they had messed up the Matrix trilogy by putting too much trust in the directors aing them put too many philosophical views into the trilogy.
These fusing philosophical views were the clear reasons why the movie didn't live up to Warner Brothers expectations.
So in order to correct the mistakes, or at least to mitigate them, the studio decided to release the st installment in November of the same year, so that they wouldn't lose money.
On November 5th, despite its terrible reviews on IMDb, The Matrix Revolutions grossed 24.31 million on its first day.
This showed that audiences were willing to e any tent as long as it filled their time and imagination.
However, the audience who watched the movie also had the same fused faces as when they finished watg The Matrix Reloaded.
Neo running into an endless loop in a train station.
Neo goes blind.
Trinity dies.
Flying robot squids attack the st stronghold of humanity.
Neo meets some kind of mae with a big face.
Neo defeated Agent Smith.
Neo was kidnapped by the Big Face robot.
And then the world eace again... That was it.
The aftertaste of The Matrix Revolutions was bitter. People liked the first movie because the plot was better and there was no fusing stuff. Holy, what the audience wanted was a and meaningless fights that brought the plot to its well-deserved clusion. Not Neo going blind and then disappearing... Maybe Warner Brothers wanted a possible sequel? Oh surprise surprise, after almost two decades, the fourth part of The Matrix actually happened.
Anyway, the first week (November 9th) of The Matrix Revolutions grossed 83.79 million.
On the same day, Brother Bear grossed 44.02 million.
Scary Movie 3 grossed 93.05 million.
Wanted 2 also grossed 342.78 million.

Palenque Simone happily raised his beer and started the party.
Game of Thrones was to be released i week of November, and the promotion was already underway. Fox TV kept promoting the show by saying that it was directed by Kazir Grey.
When people heard that the director was Kazir Grey, they were immediately ied. Of course they wao see the show.
There were only three episodes left for the crew to film. If a problem arose, they might have to reshoot some of the ses they had already filmed.
Sometimes, if the audience didn't like the storylihe writers and crew would have to reshoot the episode to appease the audienbsp;
So even though there were three episodes to shoot, the crew uood that the project was not finished until the entire season aired.
Unlike movies, which had no ce of beied after the theatrical release, TV shows could ge the plot of the episodes depending on how the audience would react... Of course, the studio had to spend more money.
Kazir was io the party because his location was he Game of Thrones set.
He missed the taste of beer, so he decided to rex a bit. The cast greeted him with the usual respebsp;
"This year seems kind of smooth."
He said to himself as he surveyed the party.
