Chapter 196 The number of viewers exceeded 100 million again?
In the end, in the sixth game of the 2000 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the visiting Indiana Pacers with a score of 116:111. After 12 years, they became the championship again. This is also the 12th championship in the history of the Lakers. champion.
"Shark" O'Neal averaged 38 points, 16.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 blocks per game in 6 games in the finals.
Among them, 3 games scored 40 points, especially after Kobe was injured at the beginning of the second game, he carried the team by himself and scored 40 points, 24 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. Superman data.
With his amazing performance, O'Neal was elected as the MVP of the finals.
Looking at the picture of Kobe and O'Neal embracing affectionately after the game, Dunn sighed with emotion: the memories are thousands of years old.
Natalie is very calm. She has no feeling for basketball, but likes the frenetic atmosphere on the scene after the Lakers won the championship.
"Zen Master" Jackson stood on the sidelines like a sculpture, his expression was indifferent, and he was a little bit domineering, allowing reporters to take pictures; Ron Harper squatted on the floor, covering his face and crying; Glen Rice was wearing a The cape of the Lakers, excited like a child...
The most interesting to her is the Oscar winner Jack Nicholson.
The activity of the old man is obviously not weaker than that of anyone else. He stood on the side of the court and had a "fuck dance", which set off a wave of unprecedented climax in the atmosphere of Staples Arena.
When celebrating winning the championship, it is also the time when fans are most likely to lose their minds.
The two cold-faced men who had been sitting silently behind Tang En were his personal bodyguards and warned Tang En to leave immediately. Because the celebration in a while will be even crazier.
Dunn took Natalie's little hand and walked to Jack Nicholson, "I'm sorry, my security team is asking me to leave."
"Huh? Oh, well, bye!"
Jack Nicholson is obviously still immersed in the joy of the team winning the championship, but he quickly realized that this is Dunn Walker!
He was a little dull and hesitated, "By the way, that movie you mentioned... Who is the director? Are you?"
Dunn smiled and said, "I am the producer and the director is Tim Burton."
"Tim...Oh, it's him, I've worked with him twice, and he's an excellent director with great ideas." Jack Nicholson complimented casually, "Go back and send a script to my agent. Well, if the character isn't bad, I'll try it."
After he finished speaking, he ignored Tang En's surprised expression, turned around again, embraced the owner of the Lakers enthusiastically, and went to celebrate passionately.
Under the maintenance of personal bodyguards and on-site security, Dunn pulled Natalie and finally walked out of the Staples Arena. Natalie breathed a long sigh of relief, "Don, I don't want to watch basketball games anymore. It's gone!"
"Ah? Why?"
"It's so depressing! I mean... It's so urgent, especially the cheers from the audience, which are uninterrupted, making people almost breathless." Natalie complained dissatisfiedly.
"I think it's good."
Dunn laughed, "At least Jack Nicholson's attitude is satisfactory!"
By the third week, the North American box office of "Spider-Man" had a sharp decline, with a drop of nearly 50%, but the box office of the week was still as high as 78.6 million US dollars, continuing to occupy the top of the weekly list.
Three weeks have passed, and Spider-Man has grossed a staggering $350 million at the North American box office!
What is this concept?
At the box office of $5.4, less than 20 days after the release of "Spider-Man", the number of viewers in North America has exceeded 63 million!
The highest number of first-round viewers in Hollywood history is the first "Star Wars", and 167 million people is an unsurpassable record! Equivalent to half of the North American people at the time, all watched the film.
Then, there was the illustrious "Titanic," with 128 million viewers; next, "Alien e.t.," with 122 million; The number of round-viewers also reached 118 million.
Now, Spider-Man's overall box office trend is plummeting. But don't forget, "Spider-Man" has just been released for less than 20 days, and the decline at the box office is also a normal market change.
According to the normal screening scale, "Spider-Man"... is likely to become Dunn's third movie with a total audience of over 100 million in North America!
You know, the total population of North America is now 350 million!
In the history of Hollywood, only two directors have two movies with more than 100 million viewers in North America. Except for Dunn, there is only Steven Spielberg, his "Jaws", "Alien e.t." All are epoch-making films.
If Dunn's "Spider-Man" successfully exceeds 100 million viewers in the first round of North America, then he will surpass Steven Spielberg in all directions. There is no difference in times and changes in exchange rates. Truly the number one commercial director in Hollywood!
"Spider-Man"'s screen **** and breaking a continuous record will inevitably make Hollywood exclaim - the wolf is coming!
If "Titanic" is James Cameron's hard work, "Star Wars Episode 1" is the promotion of George Lucas, then "Spider-Man" ... is a real portrayal of Dunn Walker's Imprint!
When Marvel went bankrupt and everyone could not avoid it, Tang En took the risk of the world and bought Marvel;
When superhero movies were sluggish, and even Batman disappeared, Dunn Walker bucked the trend. With extraordinary courage and courage to be the first in the world, he resolutely went bankrupt and took out a loan to shoot a superhero movie. Heroic commercial blockbuster - "Spider-Man".
To this end, Dunn has also been criticized and denied by Hollywood almost unanimously.
The results of it?
Now that the movie has been released for three weeks, the North American box office is 350 million, the overseas box office is 430 million, and the total box office... $780 million!
Before that, Tom Cruise used all his milk to keep promoting his new movie "Mission Impossible 2". As a result, the movie was released for almost two months, and the global box office has not been touched. to the $500 million side.
But Dunn's movie "Spider-Man", which was released less than 20 days ago, reached a global box office of 780 million US dollars. I have to say that this is a great irony!
Even more ridiculous is Fox and Disney.
"Sixty Seconds" was released at the same time as "Spider-Man", and the global box office accumulated 50 million US dollars. According to the forecast of the evaluation agency, the global box office of 100 million US dollars is an insurmountable gap.
It's not because the movie is too bad, but because... No matter how beautifully decorated the speedboat is, it doesn't have the ability to attract attention in front of an aircraft carrier.
Another movie in the ring, "Titan a.e.", made the biggest joke in Hollywood in the summer. After three weeks of release, the North American box office was 7.15 million US dollars, and the overseas box office was 4.89 million US dollars.
With a movie of this quality, it is simply over-comprehensive and asking for trouble!
In short, different from the verbal criticism received when "Spider-Man" was just set up a year ago, Hollywood, and even the whole of North America, has infinite expectations for this film, and even looking at the current box office growth momentum, it is very likely to break the "Spider-Man" The legendary record of the Titanic!
Of course, in Dunn Pictures, everyone's mood is still calm.
The evaluators within Universal also sent faxes, arguing that the long-term screening of "Spider-Man" will not be as optimistic as "Titanic" and "Star Wars: Episode 1".
Don't look at the fact that "Spider-Man" has exceeded $350 million at the North American box office within 20 days of its release. However, wanting to exceed $550 million is a hurdle.
The current movie ticket price is $5.4 a piece, which means that Universal is not optimistic that the number of moviegoers of "Spider-Man" will exceed 100 million.
The story of "Spider-Man" is far less than that of "Titanic", and the cultural heritage is not comparable to that of "Star Wars". I want to rely on a small group of comic fans and Dunn's die-hard fans to keep buying tickets. Really weak.
Under the existing ticket price, it is almost impossible to reach the stunning figures of "Titanic" in North America of 600 million and "Star Wars Episode 1" in North America of 580 million.
With the advent of the Internet era, and TVs are getting clearer and TV series are getting better and better, the American people have more ways to entertain and watch movies, and the cinema is no longer the only option as it used to be.
Unless another epoch-making movie is born, like "Star Wars", "Alien e.t.", "Titanic", or the number of viewers wants to exceed 100 million, it is impossible for UU to read .
Dunn understands what Universal Pictures is saying.
If you want to pull the audience from the computer and TV back to the cinema, there must be the emergence of new technologies, giant screen, 3D, Dolby Surround... Only this dual combination of "high-tech good movies" can pull the fans. The only way to go back to the cinema and replicate the legendary records of the past.
However, the marketing department of Universal Pictures returned another piece of good news.
Although the North American box office of "Spider-Man" is difficult to set a new record, the overseas box office is likely to create surprises.
"Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" is American culture, and many overseas countries are against American feelings, and the overseas box office is only 600 million US dollars.
In contrast, "Spider-Man" has too much mass.
The movie image of "Spider-Man", whether in the United States or overseas, is the first time it has appeared in front of fans, and it can create the same concept for everyone at the same time.
It will not make overseas fans feel that they are behind the times.
According to the current healthy trend of overseas box office, it is unlikely to surpass "Titanic"'s record of 1.28 billion US dollars, but surpassing "Star Wars Episode 1"'s 600 million US dollars should not be a problem.
The original Spider-Man made $820 million worldwide.
Now, Dunn removed the dross, took the essence, and made his own "Spider-Man", and the "mirror possession" was James Cameron, and there was a publicity stunt of "the richest director", and the box office increased by hundreds of millions Dollars, never too much.
As Steven Spielberg said at a party, now, the name "Dawn Walker" is worth $500 million!
