Chapter 1723

Hearing Christine's question, Simon nodded, showed her the document in his hand, and said, "If you want to see it, I'll ask them to send a copy."

Kristen Scott Thomas looked at the numbers on the document in the man's hand, and deliberately "made an inch" and said: "But, I want to watch the IMAX version. I heard that the visual effect is very shocking."

Simon smiled and said: "Then there is no way to send it home, but I can ask someone to arrange a VIP session for you, um, and Julie, you two will go to see it together in the morning?"

Juliette Binoche was looking at the numbers on the report in the man's hand, and felt a little unreal. Hearing this, she raised her head and said, "There are only two of us in a hall with hundreds of people, Simon, I don't want to be so extravagant."

Daenerys' current IMAX screening halls are all halls with hundreds of people. After all, the cost is placed there, and it is difficult for small halls to achieve a balance of payments.

This situation can only be changed after the digital promotion in the future.

Christine actually wanted to have a luxury, and looked forward to it: "Simon, are you free to watch it with us?"

"I have watched too many samples in private. You know, if you eat a dish many times, you will get tired."

Christine sighed pretending to be disappointed, and teasingly touched the handsome face of Juliette Binoche in the man's arms: "Simon, you shouldn't be tired of this dish, right?"

Juliet blushed again, and directly opened her mouth to bite Christine's finger. Seeing the other party screaming in pain and twitching her hand, she counterattacked: "You are the dish."

Simon smiled and let the cats fight, turning his gaze to the report in his hand.

The two women didn't intend to do anything, and they bickered a few more words, but they quickly stopped and looked at the file together.

After a while, Juliet couldn't hold back, and said in disbelief: "Simon, there are 46.37 million US dollars in just one day. Is this...really?"

According to Juliette Binoche, even for many blockbuster films, the weekly box office is about 40 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office of most of the films that this literary actress has starred in in the past , not even that much!

It exceeded 46 million on the first day. Wouldn't it cost 200 million US dollars for the whole week?

Two hundred million!

Feeling the pleasant scent of the woman in his arms, Simon rubbed his chin on her slanted face, and said with a smile: "More than 5,000 opening screens, as well as all IMAX theaters in North America, 46 million on the first day. , it's normal."

Julia flinched from the man's shallow stubble. She felt inexplicably fond of a certain feeling in her heart. She wanted to get closer, but she was embarrassed, so she could only continue the topic of discussion: "In this case, um... this movie In the first week, the box office will exceed 200 million U.S. dollars?"

"No accident, it should be like this."

It was 46.37 million on the first day, which is easy to calculate. The three-day box office figure in the first weekend should reach about 140 million. For seven days, even if next Thursday is Thanksgiving, many potential viewers will give up going out to watch movies and have dinner with their families, but this does not hinder " Justice League: Invasion grossed more than $200 million in a full week.

Seeing that the two were chatting enthusiastically, Christine interjected, "It's unbelievable. It would be great if I could act in a movie that grossed more than 200 million dollars in its first week."

"It takes luck," Simon said. "However, if you don't mind the size of the role, you can make cameo appearances in some super blockbuster movies."

Whether it was the original "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" or the later "Titanic", and then this "Justice League: Invasion", only North America has a box office volume of 600 to 700 million US dollars, after all, it is a phenomenon very few levels.

At this stage, the local volume of most blockbuster films is still around US$300 million.

Like the Lord of the Rings series.

Therefore, it takes a lot of luck for Christine to star in such a film.

The only thing Simon is relatively certain about is probably the future "Avengers" and other big gatherings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that are being planned.

Christine put her hand on Simon's shoulder, leaned her body a little more, and said expectantly, "Simon, if I mind?"

Cameo?

How dishonest!

Before Simon could speak, Juliet, who had a straightforward personality, had already dismantled the stage: "Then you will never have a chance."

Christine: "..."

If the man hadn't been here, she couldn't help reaching out and pinching that small mouth.

So talkative.

Open your mouth a little for you and speak harder!

When the three of them were gossiping about the box office on the first day of "Justice League: Invasion", there were a lot of related discussions in North America and even around the world.

Mostly cheers, admiration and emotion, but there is no lack of dissent.

For example, the high box office on the first day of "Justice League: Invasion" most directly affected other films in the same period.

Although most of the new films have chosen to avoid it, there is still a comedy movie produced by Paramount on the line at the same time. Middle-class small-town fun revolves around a $100,000 private garden competition.

This warm comedy, which cost $30 million and also fits the atmosphere of the upcoming Thanksgiving, although it received a comprehensive media score of 6.7, is not a bad work, but under the strong crush of "Justice League: Invasion" , the box office on the first day was only a poor $780,000.

That's right, it's 780,000, not 7.8 million.

The first day was 780,000 US dollars, and it is estimated that the box office of the film will only be just over 3 million US dollars in a full week.

Doomed to be a box office disaster.

In addition to this poor new film, even blockbuster old films such as "Scary Movie 2" and "The Conjuring 4: Reaper" have been hit harder than most people imagined before.

Among them, "Scary Movie 2" is only the second week of its release, and its single-day year-on-year drop of just past Friday was as high as 63%. Its $41.43 million plummeted to around $15 million.

There is no longer any possibility of breaking 100 million locally.

And the first part of this project, North America, got an excellent result of 146 million US dollars.

In short, the result of "Justice League: Invasion" thriving is undoubtedly the withering of other flowers.

On the FB platform, a film critic with more than 300,000 fans expressed strong concerns about this, and believed that the excessive prosperity of super blockbusters such as "Justice League: Invasion" should be restrained, because behind this seemingly prosperous situation, it is likely that It will damage the foundation of Hollywood and make the American film market lose the living space of other types of films.

This argument came out, and it quickly aroused a lot of resonance.

Speaking of it, this is also consistent with Simon's private view, not to be too dominant, and to maintain the diversity of Hollywood.

However, while extensively arguing, many people have to admit a fact: Hollywood's film industry structure has unconsciously undergone fundamental changes.

To put it simply, it is still the Matthew effect, the strong get stronger, and the weak gradually lose their living space.

Just say "Justice League: Invasion", according to the box office estimates on the first day, North America has reached the US$700 million domestic box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" five years ago. It is not a big problem, and the world is likely to hit the 2 billion mark again. .

If the goal is achieved, it means that even if the total cost of this project reaches 350 million US dollars, but only in the global theater distribution stage, Daenerys and Time Warner can reap nearly 500 million US dollars in profits.

It's just a movie with a profit of 500 million US dollars. What kind of concept is this?

Take this year's Fortune 500 companies as an example, among the 500 most powerful companies in the world, there are 224 companies with an annual profit of less than US$500 million, nearly half of them. That is to say, the income of a movie "Justice League: Invasion", um... just the box office income of the theatrical release stage, exceeds the annual profit level of nearly half of the world's 500 most powerful companies.

This is not counting the hot toys, clothing, games and many other peripherals of "Justice League: Invasion" during the same period.

Not to mention the follow-up.

With the volume of "Justice League: Invasion", not to mention the current peak rental market, even if the TV channels in the future, if TV stations want to buy broadcasting rights in the future, they will definitely play it on a per-view basis, don't even think about subscribing monthly or yearly And so on, and the quotation for each broadcast will not be less than ten million dollars.

Therefore, even though the global market continues to expand and surrounding channels continue to enrich, a super blockbuster such as "Justice League: Invasion" still seems too dazzling. The more direct impact of this dazzling is that it unknowingly crowds out the living space of many other movies.

This trend, including Simon, can be seen by many people, but it is not so easy to reverse it.
