Hollywood What If Chapter 293

The Hangover Part 3 was one of the most anticipated films of the year. Along with The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones and John Carter.

So far only Star Wars Episode 2 and John Carter have been released.

Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones did very well at the box office. As of June 6, the film has already grossed more than $241 million. It is currently the highest grossing film released this year.

As for John Carter, well, it was terrible. The film only made $68 million at the box office. Also, the film may be pulled from theatres a month after its release because ticket sales for the film were so minuscule. The film was only released for 40 days and only 300 theatres were left.

A bad move, that was what Walt Disney did this year. The executives and shareholders blamed Michael Eisner, of course. Even though they had all agreed to the project in the first place. Well, they had to blame someone, and Chairman Eisner was the best scapegoat.

While Walt Disney was busy trying to put a band-aid on the huge wound they have at the moment, Warner Brothers started the premiere of one of their biggest investments this year.

Their huge investments this year were Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Hangover Part 3. They advertised the films almost everywhere, just like Walt Disney did.

However, Warner Brothers' confidence in their films was better than Walt Disney's. And frankly, the quality of the films that Warner Brothers produced was far better than Walt Disney's at that time.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was based on a novel, while The Hangover Part 3 was written by award-winning screenwriter Kazir Grey.

Yes, Kazir won the Academy's best screenplay award for Taken. He was an award-winning screenwriter.

So Warner Brothers knew that The Hangover Part 3 wouldn't get the same treatment as John Carter.

They were 80% sure.

Kazir fiddled with his Nokia phone, waiting for Angelina's response, but the woman never really answered. They were in a cold war and Kazir knew the relationship might be over.

The problem started when Angelina made Kirsten cry. After that, Kazir unconsciously distanced himself from Angelina. This situation continued until Kazir left for Canada. After that they stopped talking.

'... No time to think about it.'

Kazir thought as he realised that the limousine had stopped in front of the Westwood Village Theatre. The theatre where The Hangover Part 3 would have its premiere.

Kazir smiled as he got out of the limousine. With cameos in all the CCU movies, Kazir was already recognised as an "actor". People knew and recognised him.

So when he appeared on the red carpet, people immediately started shouting and cheering his name. There were even some female fans screaming his name like fanatics. Well, Kazir was a good-looking guy, so it was obvious why.

Kazir spent only a few minutes on the red carpet before entering the theatre. He didn't bother to talk to the reporter because he wasn't in a good mood. The fact that he could smile right now was amazing. Perhaps being an actor could suit him, if not for his love of filming and creating movies.

When he entered the theatre, he saw the actors, some sitting, some talking to people. These actors changed their future because of this franchise. Now most of them had promising careers and got annual projects with a salary of at least $1 million.

Of all of them, Reese had the best career at the time. Legally Blonde made her a superstar, earning more than $5 million per film.

The fact that The Hangover and The Hangover Part 2 are in the top 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time speaks volumes.

The Hangover Part 2 took the top spot with $586 million.

Second was Gladiator (2000) with $503 million.

Third was The Hangover with $502 million.

Fourth was Saving Private Ryan with $486 million.

Fifth, with a slightly lower gross, was The Matrix with $465.37 million.

Around 1996, The Hangover was the highest-grossing R-rated film, but a few years later new films were released. Now The Hangover was only third.

Still, The Hangover Part 2 was at the top... Although Kazir knew that once The Matrix Reloaded was released, a new film would be crowned as the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.

The Matrix Reloaded would be released the following year, so The Hangover Part 2's reign would not last much longer.

The cast of The Hangover Part 3 saw Kazir entering the cinema and some of them greeted him.

It was a fact that Kazir had given them careers. They were no longer unknown actors, they were real celebrities.

Kazir greeted them. They were happy to see him again after so many years. Kazir was not the party type and rarely went out so people didn't see him much.

"Enzo, looks like you're doing well too."

"Haha, just fine."

Enzo Park and Kazir were both clients of Salvatore. But their status was different.

Although Enzo became famous as Raizo in CCU, he still didn't get a leading role in any movie. All his roles have been supporting character.

"Don't worry, your moment will come. When I started out as a director, I didn't have much success either. Just work hard and you'll achieve your dream."

... Knowing that Kazir had returned from the future, he was basically lying. Hard work was not enough to succeed.

Nevertheless, Enzo accepted his advice. It was not wrong anyway. Actually, he was hoping to hear from Kazir that the film he had promised was going to happen. The film was about Raizo as the male lead and it was about him being a ninja.
