Chapter 489

On June 19, in the third week of the release of wonder woman, three new heavyweight films were released in North American Theaters, including Denise and Paramount's peach trade, fox's alien 3 and Disney's 2D animated film Aladdin.

As the main projects of each studio, the opening screen scale of the three films has exceeded 2000 pieces, including 2219 pieces for peach trade, 2381 pieces for alien 3 and 2137 pieces for Aladdin.

The three new films have inevitably formed a sniper on wonder woman.

However, this female superhero movie also released its box office potential in the loose schedule of the previous two weeks. In the face of the impact of three new movies, although the box office decline expanded to 37% in the third week, it still won US $43.16 million, and continued to remain the first place in the list.

At the same time, after last week's release, the cumulative box office of "Wonder Woman" also exceeded 200 million US dollars, reaching 202.67 million US dollars.

Relying on the cast of Robert Redford and Valerie Gallino, the cat girl, and the controversial topic of whether or not to transfer his wife for $1 million, the peach trade took the second place in the list with a box office of $32.27 million in its first week.

Disney's 2D animated film "Aladdin" ranked third, with a box office of $29.63 million in the first week, also exceeding Disney's expectations.

The cost of making the animated film is only $28 million.

Fox's $50 million "alien 3" grossed $26.84 million in the first week, ranking fourth in the weekly box office list.

The beginning of alien 3 is not low. However, the word-of-mouth of this sequel is a bit bad. The comprehensive score of the media is only 4.3. The box office of the first week is basically supported by the popularity of alien series and the publicity in the early stage. After the first week, the industry generally predicted that the box office of the film would drop sharply next week.

After that, Disney's nuns are crazy ranked fifth. In the fifth week of its release, the dark horse comedy starring ubie Goldberg continued to earn $7.61 million, with a total box office of $71.31 million.

In the face of the impact of the still strong "Wonder Woman" and three new films, the box office of "nuns are crazy" fell only 11% from June 19 to June 25. Therefore, although the weekly box office volume is only over $7 million, the black comedy is still expected to break through the billion yuan mark relying on its excellent long-term trend.

Simon's "nuns are crazy" grossed more than $130 million in North America.

This time, because of the strong impact of wonder woman, although the total box office of nun is still expected to exceed 100 million in North America, it is difficult to exceed 110 million US dollars and shrink more than 20 million US dollars.

The sixth week's "lethal weapon 3" grossed $6.85 million, ranking sixth, with a total of $124.06 million.

Because it started earlier, Lethal Weapon 3 was less affected by wonder woman, and the total box office in North America is still expected to hit $140 million in the original time and space.

Tom Cruise starred in "big ambition", which cost 60 million US dollars. In the fourth week of its release, only 4.63 million US dollars were left at the box office, with a cumulative box office of 35.61 million US dollars.

As attendance continues to decline, the size of the screens that are already decreasing in the new week has been directly cut by half due to the expiration of most of the cinemas' screening contracts, leaving only 1135 screens. It is estimated that the total box office in North America will barely exceed $40 million and stop within $50 million.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that "Ninja Turtle 2", which was released on Easter before, had been released for exactly 10 weeks as of June 25.

Because of the popcorn nature of the Ninja Turtles series, the sequel has been reduced since the fourth week of its release. On June 5, when "Wonder Woman" opened, the canvas of "Ninja Turtle 2" in the mainstream cinema was basically transferred to the superhero film, leaving only two or three hundred screens in some remote cinemas.

During the week from June 19 to June 25, ninja tortoise 2 continued to earn $290000 on 263 screens, with a total box office of $113.17 million.

It can be said that the total box office of Ninja Turtle 2, which will be painted thoroughly in the next few weeks, is basically fixed at $113 million in North America. For a sequel to an animated popcorn movie, the box office results have been very successful.

San Francisco Bay.

In a villa in Woodside hills west of Palo Alto.

It's June 27, Saturday.

I worked here on Thursday and Friday to participate in the affairs of several technology companies. Yesterday, I worked until 7 p.m. and in the evening, I attended the dinner party of several senior executives of igritte, so I didn't return to Los Angeles.

Early in the morning, she opened her eyes first, feeling the breath of the man behind her, fluttering on her neck. Her waist was held tightly by a powerful arm, and she subconsciously pasted it behind her.

So I feel that the man's face is a little red.The light from the curtain showed that it was already bright. He reached out with one arm and looked at the watch on the bedside table. It was 6:55.

Some do not give up, but also know it's time to get up.

After several body movements, Simon inevitably woke up, took the female assistant in his arms, kissed her neck, and whispered, "good morning, baby."

"Good morning."

I like the tone when he calls her honey. It's really sweet.

I'm just embarrassed to respond like this all the time. I'm still curious about what he calls Janet in private. It's also "honey" or "baby". It's not "Darling". It's too formal.

I want to ask, but I'm afraid that he will feel that he is fighting for something.

Thinking about this, I used to swim up her body with my arm around her. I felt that my body was getting hotter and hotter. I almost gave up on myself. Finally, I resisted and said, "it's time to get up."

"Well."

The man pretended to be feeble. She couldn't help bending the corner of her mouth, pulling his arm over, kissing him on the back of his hand, and said, "you can sleep for another 15 minutes. I'll get up first and help you prepare breakfast."

"I was very tired last night. I think it's better to sleep for another half an hour."

"You're a man. You can't be lazier than a woman."

After bargaining, the man finally let go, and the assistant began to get out of bed, dress and wash.

When they came downstairs, Zoe parks and Isabel Dunn, who came with them, had already got up. Knowing her habit, the two girls simply explained that the ingredients for breakfast and today's newspaper were ready, and then they took the initiative to disappear.

Simon didn't stay up for half an hour and got up soon after the assistant got out of bed.

I used to run a few kilometers in the fresh air of Woodside mountains in the morning, and met Larry Ellison as usual. Since he met in this mountain road last year, Simon has come to San Francisco many times. He can run into each other in the morning. This late Oracle founder is really good at running contacts in such small places.

After some painful adjustments, Oracle has already passed the crisis of last year, and the Internet industry has broken out ahead of time, which makes the database company even more powerful.

Most professional Internet sites need databases.

Moreover, because westero continues to buy 25% of Oracle's shares, igritte also tends to adapt to Oracle Software in the process of developing world wide web technology.

Simon went back to his villa, took a bath and changed his clothes. His female assistant had already prepared breakfast. He also put on the table the newspaper he used to read at breakfast and yesterday's North American cinema box office report.

In the new box office week that opened yesterday, two new films were released again, namely "killing time" by Denise and MGM, and "double faced girl" by Columbia Pictures.

Looking at Simon's box office report yesterday, the female assistant gave the man sweet soup and said, "it's only $4.79 million on the first day, which seems to be on the low side."

It's killing time, of course.

Compared with the original version, the new version of "killing time" starred by Nicholas Cage, Sandra Bullock and Samuel Jackson. The story is not much different from the original version in Simon's memory. It is also a crime drama adapted from John Grimson's novel, which involves racial discrimination and judicial justice.

The first day's box office should be $4.79 million, and the first week's box office should be between $20 million and $25 million.

This kind of opening box office, not to mention "Wonder Woman", "lethal weapon 3", even compared with last week's "peach trade" are not as good.

Simon, however, was not worried, saying: "the key is to see the decline next week. The box office curve pursued by" time to kill "should be comparable to that of Harrison Ford's" presumption of innocence. "

Two years ago, the box office of presumption of innocence was only over $10 million in the first week, but because of the strong follow-up trend, the total box office of the film in North America constantly broke the studio's expectation, and finally exceeded $80 million.

In contrast, the similar theme of "killing time", which started with $20 million to $25 million at the box office, is already excellent.

After "Wonder Woman" at the beginning of this month, there was no blockbuster movie released in the follow-up of this summer program. The word-of-mouth of "time to kill" has also been recognized by the critics. The follow-up long-term trend is certainly not a problem.

Having been with Simon for so long, of course, Jennifer knows all this. She just habitually thinks that the box office should be better for the projects he personally leads.

After breakfast, they flew to Chicago together in the morning.

For the kid's home 2 thing.

The sequel to the phenomenal children's comedy, which will be released at the end of the year, has been basically completed.

Simon left control of the kid's home series entirely to John Hughes, whose film company is in Chicago, and most of the filmmaker's films are shot and produced in Chicago.Although Hughes could send the film to Los Angeles, Simon didn't do it. Instead, he came in person.

This way, you can fly to Toronto to go shopping. Unlike Los Angeles and San Francisco, which always have a lot of eyes to pay attention to, in these infrequent cities, as long as you keep a low profile, you won't be noticed by anyone.

So on Sunday night, back to Los Angeles, and then a new week's work.

The acquisition of Ltd company has been basically settled recently, and Victoria's Secret fashion show plan has also been rapidly promoted.

According to the schedule, the show will be held in early November and broadcast on the TV network in the middle of November, before the consumer season at the end of the year.

Because it's Simon's own project, the four major TV networks in North America have shown interest in the fashion show.

After several bidding negotiations, ABC TV network bought the right to broadcast the show for $5 million.

Although the $5 million price includes the premiere and a total of 10 replays over the next five years, Leslie Wexley is still amazed by Simon's influence.

The budget of the whole show was only $10 million, and ABC directly took out half of it. If it had known that, it would not have been necessary for Ltd to transfer half of the copyright of the show to Denise entertainment. However, Wexner also understood that ABC would not have offered such a high price without the participation of danielis entertainment and the leadership of Simon westero.

In the plan, 40 Vermeer angels and five Vermeer Angel spokesmen who participate in the show have also become the focus of the recent model circle.

It seems that the 40 member catwalk team is not small in scale, but it is insignificant in the whole model circle. There is almost no threshold for the modeling industry. As long as there is a good leather bag, it can basically enter the industry. However, few people can really climb to the top.

In recent years, several famous supermodels, Cindy Crawford, Linda evangelinsta, Claudia Schiffer and so on, are all full of luck.

As soon as the Weimi show was exposed, it attracted the media's strong attention. All the major model agencies in North America and Europe realized that, compared with the top luxury brands that are full of brands, but the exposure rate of catwalk is not high after all, the underwear fashion show, which is led by Simon westero and will be broadcast on TV, will become a very rare exposure platform.

A model wants to be on the top, whether it's having an affair with a star singer, landing on the cover of a fashion magazine, or participating in a top brand show. In the final analysis, what she pursues is an exposure.

Many luxury brands always give the general public a high cold feeling, but in fact, these brands, whether they are catwalks or endorsements, will only choose models with high reputation. This can be seen from many years later when many luxury brands vie to hire it girls or Internet celebrities to participate in the show.

In particular, the style of wanghong is not high at all, but this group has tens of millions of fans and an exposure rate that ordinary supermodels can't match.

As a result, the major model agencies, through a variety of contacts, hope to be able to send their models into the number of 40 Weimi angels. As for the more popular five Angel spokesmen, whether they are the top supermodels who have already become famous, or the new comers who have just emerged, they are also closely watching.
