Chapter 339： Weekly box office champion

Chapter 339 Weekly Box Office Champion

"Scandal Project" is in its second week of release.

It took in a box office of US$18.36 million in 2,926 theaters in North America.

It dropped less than 15% from last week and exceeded several movies released during the same period.

Become the box office champion this week.

The cumulative box office in North America was US$39.46 million.

The second place is Selena's "Montegroca". Relying on the fame of several leading actors and the strong publicity and distribution capabilities of Disney, it received a box office of 10.63 million US dollars in the second week, with a cumulative box office of more than 25 million, and the production The cost is comparable.

The third place is "Resident Evil 4" starring Milla Jovovich, with a box office of 10 million this week, a drop of 63%.

The box office of movies such as "American Citizen" and "Tampers" this week was less than 5 million.

"Scandal Project" earned nearly 40 million at the box office in North America within ten days of its release. Compared with the cost of only 10 million US dollars, this movie is considered a big hit.

Before Annie could speak, Selina shouted impatiently.

Link shook his head, picked up another apple pie, and asked little Annie next to him where he wanted to go to play today. If he was free, he could spend the day with her.

“Go to Disneyland. I have a VIP card and we can play there all day.”

“Haha, look, Annie thinks the same as me, we are indeed good sisters.”

Selena turned everyone’s attention to little Annie.

At the dinner table, Selina rolled the pasta with a fork and stared at him angrily with her round face.

"Last year I invited you to play a role in "Monte Roca", but you refused. If you could come, my movie would have done better at the box office and become the weekly box office champion. It's all your fault that I didn't win. "

“I was very busy last year, don’t you know? And I remember that there was no role suitable for me in this movie. Do you want me to play Zero?”

I believe that the movie box office did not drop much this week, mainly because Link is famous and has strong appeal, and his fans contributed a lot to the movie's box office.

"snort!"

According to the habits of the film industry, after a movie becomes a hit, it is often analyzed by many professional media to study the reasons for the success of the movie and point out the direction for other movies. This can also be called "market trend analysis".

Link raised his hand and patted her smooth forehead.

Thirdly, the big star Link and Lisa Kudrow, one of the stars of "Friends", joined the cast, bringing a lot of fame to the movie.

“The news is that Taylor will release the first promotional single of her third album today. Have you heard it?”

The second thing is that the script and director Will Guler are good.

Selena shouted.

When the media analyzed the reasons last week, they believed that the key to the success of this film was that the crew chose the right heroine.

Ms. Mandy glared at her, "Many of your training camp courses are at Disneyland. We go there once a week. Catherine and I often take you to the amusement park. There are three photo albums of the photos you took at the amusement park when you were a child. Do you want it? Turn it out for you to see?"

“Huh, when I was a kid, I had to take classes and go to Disney training camp for training. I didn’t go to the amusement park a few times a year. It’s a pity. Now that I have time, I want to fill in the regrets of my childhood.”

He also had several hot searches, which added a lot of exposure to the movie, which was very critical during the movie's release.

Selena chirped and turned on the music player, and Taylor's light, sweet and warm voice came from the computer speakers.

Without Link's participation, the movie box office this week would have dropped by at least 35%.

Generally, if the ratio of cost to box office revenue of a movie exceeds three times, it is considered a blockbuster, five times is considered a blockbuster, and ten times is considered a hit and a dark horse of the year.

“Who remembers what happened when I was a child? Let’s not talk about it anymore, Annie, cute little Annie, tell us, where do you want to play today?”

Emma Stone's wonderful performance adds a lot of luster to this movie. If it were replaced by another actor, it might have turned into a cheesy school comedy.

"This single is called "The Story of Us". Link, it's obviously written for you. Wow, it's been less than two hours since it was uploaded and it has been played more than 1.65 million times. It's too exaggerated. Let's hear it. "

Selena picked up a piece of watermelon and bit it in her mouth, then ran outside quickly. After a few seconds, she came in holding an Apple laptop.

“Ah! I almost forgot.”

"snort!"

Catherine asked as she put down a plate of black seed watermelon.

This week, the media elevated Link to the same level as Emma Stone when analyzing the reasons for the film's box office success.

Link was amused by her words.

Little Annie blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a soft voice: "Go to Disneyland?"

“What are you thinking, how can we act as a couple if we are brothers and sisters?”

Snapped!

Selena glared at him with a sullen face, snatched the apple pie from his hand, took a big bite, and smiled proudly with her little face raised.

"Variety Magazine" predicts that the North American box office of this movie will be around 70 million, and the global box office will be 120 million, making it a dark horse at the box office.

“Is your nose uncomfortable?”

“It’s okay, I still want to go to an amusement park when I’m older.”

Selena was stunned for a moment and scratched her round face with her paws.

Selena pouted and slapped Annie on the face. Link pushed her head away in disgust and wiped Annie's small face with a wet wipe.

“Can’t you?”

“Wow, it sounds great!”

Selena shouted with a straight face.

Everyone ignored her, eating fruit quietly and listening to Taylor's new song quietly.

“This song is so well written, Taylor is amazing.”

The song is over, Selena said.

“It’s a really good song, Taylor is very talented.”

Ms Mandy said.

“Link, how do you feel about being the hero of the song?”

Catherine smiled.

"Yes, Link, tell me how you feel after listening to this song." Selena lay on the dining table, holding her round face and looking at him, her big eyes blinking.

"Taylor is a person who is very emotional in creation, but very indifferent in real life. She is like an observer rather than a participant. People like her are suitable to be singers, writers and poets, not anyone else's girlfriend."

Link said while eating the fruit.

"What's the meaning?"

Selena tilted her head and thought for a moment, not understanding the meaning of his words.

“The song is good, but the person is not that interesting.”

Link put it in a nutshell.

"That's what you said. I'll tell Taylor in a moment that you said she was boring."

Selena clicked on the player and played the song again.

This song seems to summarize the relationship between the two. Taylor admitted that both of them made mistakes in this relationship, but Link made more mistakes. She also said that she had made a lot of efforts to save the relationship. , there was a lot of reluctance, and in the end the two of them still walked away from each other.

also said that when she was thinking of ways to heal the pain of a broken relationship, another person was already out having fun, which made her start to reflect on whether this relationship was worth it.

When listening to this song, I feel that Taylor is very serious about relationships and very persistent. Unfortunately, when he meets someone he is not kind to, all his infatuation and sincerity are misplaced.

She secretly accuses Link of not being serious about her relationship and of betraying her love for him.

Link shook his head when he heard this. Taylor is a spiritual lover. In her heart, her feelings are sincere and strong, but when she is really in love, she seems very indifferent and ruthless.

With this character, it is difficult for people to understand whether she is affectionate or ruthless.

“If you don’t listen, how about we go to the amusement park?”

Link wiped his fingers and asked little Annie.

Little Annie nodded repeatedly.

Selena walked around with her big eyes, carrying her small satchel, and followed quietly.

While the three were hanging out in Los Angeles, Taylor's new song "The Story of Us" became an instant hit in the United States.

The playback volume on Amazon, iTunes and other music platforms has increased rapidly, and it soon broke the first-day playback and download records of several popular songs released before June.

Including Link's "all of me" and "sorry", Antebellum's "needyounow", Kesha's "animal", Justin Bieber's "baby", Wiz Khalifa's "Black And Yellow", Beyoncé's collaboration with Lady Gaga Single "Telephone", Eminem's "Not Afraid", Lady Gaga's version of "legendsneverdie".

Reached to third place on the first-day single download list in 2010, with 1.42 million times.

The first place is Link's "legendsneverdie", which was downloaded 4.65 million times on the first day.

The second one is Eminem's second promotional single for his seventh album released in May, "Love the Way You Lie", a collaboration with Rihanna, with 1.51 million daily downloads.

Compared to the previous popular songs, the reason why this song is so popular is not because of its quality and artistic level, but because it is very topical and can fully satisfy the fans' curiosity.

The popularity of this song also caused the media to revisit old stories and reinterpret the inside story of the two's breakup. Through the last "Ellen Show", Link attributed the breakup to work and personality.

In this song, Taylor believes that the reason is that Link is not serious about relationships, is too carefree, and has failed her love.

The two gave different explanations for the reasons for their breakup, which also caused some heated discussions on the Internet and in the media.

There are many media outlets that are repeating the same old tune and continuing to hype up the news that Link is a scumbag. However, compared with the time in mid-June, there are far fewer media outlets that are following the trend and hyping up such news.

After the news of Link’s retirement from the music industry and the controversy surrounding the casting of Captain America, everyone is no longer interested in the topic of whether Link is a playboy.

Seeing the media’s reaction, Link also breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of the songs in Taylor's third album were composed by Taylor in the piano room when the two broke up. Many of them denounced him as a scumbag. There is deep sadness and resentment in the songs. There is also a song called "The Devil in Love". Insinuations about Ivaka, Emma Watson and others will make anyone who can listen feel numb.

It is conceivable that after these songs are released, he will definitely be scolded by Taylor's fans and the media.

In addition, some people were hyping him up as a **** some time ago, and the public opinion situation is very bad.

Let the two negative public opinions combine, which will have a very bad impact on his reputation.

In order to protect himself, he decided to participate in an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" after discussing with Ivaca, Scooter and others to openly discuss the reasons for their breakup, triggering public opinion in advance and releasing the hostility of some fans.

Judging from the current situation, what he did last time was right.

"Originally, "The Devil" was going to be the first promotional single. Because you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I changed "The Story of Us" to the first promotional single. However, the album will still be on the shelves, and the songs that criticized you will also be released publicly. , you have to be prepared to be scolded by the fans."

Taylor sent a message and said.

“How many songs are there that curse me?”

“emm, sixteen songs!”

“How many songs are there in your album?”

“The standard version has 14 songs, the deluxe version and the international version have 22 songs.”

“In other words, the entire album is full of songs that criticize me?”

“It’s a bit excessive, but those songs are good. It would be a pity not to release them for the fans to listen to.”

“It’s really an irrefutable reason.”

Link shook his head. When he first decided to date Taylor, he was prepared to be scolded in the song, but a whole album was filled with songs criticizing him, which was beyond his expectation.

“Don’t feel wronged, it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t cheated on me, I wouldn’t have been able to write these songs.”

Taylor added.

"Really, I am so important to you and can help you write so many good songs. Do you want to think again and come back to be my girlfriend? I cheated on you and you wrote songs. I kept cheating and you kept cheating. Writing songs, like a perpetual motion machine, doesn’t it sound great?”

"Go away!! I have decided to continue scolding you in the next album. You brought this on yourself, you scumbag!"

“Okay, just kidding.”

Link passed the message, but the chat interface showed that he was not a friend. Apparently he was blocked by the other party again.

Putting away his mobile phone, he saw Selena and little Annie who were watching the fish on the glass display window of the aquarium. He took a few photos of the two of them with the camera.

While watching fish at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in Los Angeles, they also met celebrity mother Angelina Jolie with a group of children.

This woman is only thirty-five years old this year, but she already has six children, three biological and three adopted. The youngest twins, Knox and Vivian, are also over three years old. When their family came to the aquarium, there were more than ten children in the family. People, bodyguards, nannies, assistants, etc., and two photographers followed to take pictures.

"I will have more children in the future, and there will be more people."

Selena looked at Angelina Jolie and the other children and said enviously.

“Whatever you think about, you are just a child.”

Link ruffled her hair and pulled Annie forward.

Selena covered her head and stared at him angrily. When he took a few steps, she suddenly rushed up and hung on his back, preparing to mess up his hair, but unfortunately he had short hair again.

Not far away, Angelina Jolie noticed the movement on their side and glanced here with a surprised look.
