Hollywood What If Chapter 524

The fifth spot was taken by Shrek The Third. This franchise was produced by DreamWorks. Shrek was DreamWorks' first big success in 3D animation and probably the franchise that started their steady business. The movie grossed $813 million after months of screening.

The sixth highest-grossing movie of 2007 was John Wick Chapter 3 — Parabellum. An action set in the Continental Cinematic Universe, produced by Grey Pictures. The movie grossed $709 million.

Ratatouille took the seventh spot. The movie was about a rat who can cook... Yeah, people have no idea what substances the writers of Pixar inhaled while thinking of this movie. Well, Ratatouille was a 3D cartoon movie and kids loved to watch this kind of thing. Even adults watched it. Naturally, Ratatouille grossed $623 million.

As for the eighth spot, I Am Legend was about a man who lived in a zombie-apocalyptic world. Starring Will Smith, the movie grossed $585 million.

The ninth spot was taken by The Simpsons Movie, which grossed $536 million.

The tenth spot was taken by National Treasure: Book of Secrets. The movie grossed $459 million. This franchise had potential, but Walt Disney decided to drop it for some reason.

300, Zack Snyder's second movie actually took the eleventh spot by grossing $456 million. The director was happy and so was the 20th Century Fox. Even though the movie didn't reach the top 10, for a mid-budget movie, 300 earned quite a lot of money.

With that, the top 10 highest-grossing movies of 2007 were listed. Based on the list, the biggest winner this time was still Grey Pictures. It was not surprising anymore.

Three of the movies on the list were produced by Grey Pictures. They were Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End, Shadows Beneath, and John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum. These three movies grossed over $2.89 billion. This amount of money was hard to understand by the average man... 99% of the population would never acquire this kind of money. But for Grey Pictures, this was their yearly average revenue.

Unfortunately, Shadows Beneath was technically owned by Universal Pictures since the copyrights to this movie were sold to them by Kazir personally. Grey Pictures only earned around $150 million in the transaction.

Some people thought that this business deal was a stupid move for Grey Pictures. And honestly, they were not wrong. If Kazir decided to keep the copyrights and just let 20th Century Fox distribute the horror movie, Grey Pictures would probably earn more money.

But for Kazir who had so much money in his name, a few hundred millions were basically nothing... This statement was too offensive to hear, not going to lie. Kazir was at the point in his life where money meant nothing. He just wanted to feel the thrill of making transactions with big studios.

Enzo Park wiped his sweat from his forehead after practicing the stunt choreography with a stuntman. He was breathing hard after the training.

The choreography for Ninja Assassin was intense. Despite the fatigue, Enzo nodded to himself as he knew that this training was worth it. Besides, he loved doing stuff like this, he loved being active and working out.

He had been training for four months and he now remembered almost every stunt to do. For this movie, Ninja Assassin, Enzo Park said that he would participate in stunts. He felt like he was slowly becoming a ninja. He even studied the way of Ninjas. He was excited to see his stunts on the big screen.

Of course, because of insurance policy, he was not allowed to join in dangerous stunts.

The stunt director of this movie was his brother, Tae-Won Park.

By the way, Enzo Park was just a stage name. Enzo's real name was Hae-Won Park. Hollywood was not a fan of Asian names, so Asian actors had to adopt a Western name to be part of the circle.

Tae-Won Park made sure that every action stunt would match Enzo's expertise in martial arts. They have to promote Enzo's masteries in martial arts, this was a sort of promotion. A lot of men liked martial arts and that was a way to garner fans. As his brother, Tae-Won was proud of what his brother had reached in Hollywood.

Now, Enzo Park will star in his own action movie after so many years in Hollywood. The movie was also going to be directed by Kazir Grey! Look at that! How many actors would salivate in jealousy at the idea of working with Director Grey?

Jackie Chan and Jet Li used to do difficult stunts to make a name in Hollywood and Tae-Won Park set the same road for his brother. This strategy was approved by Kazir to follow the usual steps of Asian action stars in Hollywood.

Of course, he had no intention of adding dangerous stunts that could endanger life... These kinds of stunts would be taken by professional stuntmen.

Unlike most CCU movies that followed literal explosive scenes with tons of destruction and heart-palpitating stunts, Ninja Assassin focused mostly on close combats.

There would also be some cameos from The Rock and Paul Walker. Currently, The Rock was still not that expensive to cast while Paul Walker was still finding his footing in Hollywood, so more jobs meant more exposure.

Enzo already achieved a certain level of fame in Hollywood but his name was still not a household name where everyone knew him. And even if people recognized him, they mostly called his CCU name which was Raizo.
