Chapter 1435

The first week of the highly competitive Thanksgiving file ended on November 19, and the box office data came out the next day.

The leading film "the clash of heaven and earth" has no suspense and won the box office champion of the week. However, as predicted, the box office in the first seven days of the week was finally fixed at US $93.27 million, which failed to achieve the expectation of breaking US $100 million in the first week.

Of course, this achievement is still not comparable to that of several other films in the same period.

The New York gangster, which ranked second, grossed only $31.46 million in the first seven days of the week, compared with the opening of more than $90 million in the clash of heaven and earth. Old Martin's long cherished wish for many years has been fulfilled, with the help of little plum, who is at the peak of popularity. After all, it just proves once again that there is not much market for gangster films in Hollywood.

The third place was Denzel Washington's new film "total siege" produced by Warner Brothers, which earned US $23.67 million in the first seven days of the week.

Denzel Washington is a popular first-line black film star in recent years. However, it is still worse than being promoted to another black film emperor with training day in 2002.

Moreover, because history has changed and Denzel Washington is not the direct lineage of danilis entertainment, it is difficult to say whether he can be promoted to a film emperor this time.

In any case, Warner and Denzel Washington's "total siege" cost $23.67 million in the first week, even if it did not meet expectations, it was not a failure. After all, it proved Denzel Washington's box office appeal.

In fact, the results of "New York gangster" and "all-round siege" are normal in Hollywood. The only problem is that the first place "collision between heaven and earth" really puts the tone too high.

After that, the fourth place is Annabel 2.

The box office performance of this series of branches of the soul summoning film universe can be described as stable. In the third week of release, in the face of the impact of a series of new films such as "collision between heaven and earth", it still held the fourth place, continued to earn US $13.37 million, and the cumulative box office also reached US $77.29 million.

Breaking 80 million is imminent.

Even if the next competition will be more intense, "Annabel 2" will collect another 20 million yuan and break into 100 million yuan at the box office, there is no suspense in the club.

Then came another new film "love about this life" opened on November 13. The love film starring "Superman" Brad Pitt produced by Disney ended up at $13.54 million in the first seven days of the first week, less than 200000 from the top one "Annabel 2".

But it still lags behind.

Moreover, "Annabel 2" has been released for the third week, while "love about this life" is the first week.

Disney can only be glad that the cost of this project is not high. With a budget of 35 million US dollars and publicity, it is only about 50 million. The first week of the film is 13.54 million, and the total local box office is expected to be between 25 million and 30 million. In addition, outside Shanghai, the global box office is likely to be equal to the total investment. With the follow-up channels, there is no problem in recovering the cost.

So it's not a failure.

It can only be said that Disney was busy in vain and wasted a good schedule.

During the first week of Thanksgiving, several new films in another box office week successively carried out the final wave of publicity, such as premiere ceremony, in these days of working days.

On November 20, a new box office week covering Thanksgiving opened.

In terms of cost, there are two pillars this week: mummy 2, a cooperation project between Fox and danilis, and the heavyweight action thriller American police officer, a cooperation between white dove Wu and paramount. Coincidentally, the budget of both films is $100 million.

Therefore, in the publicity stage, the two films were tit for tat. They even chose the same day on November 18 to hold a grand premiere in Los Angeles.

Coincidentally, after the premiere, the word-of-mouth ban was lifted, and the media evaluation of the two films was almost the same. Mummy 2 got a comprehensive media score of 7.5, while American police officer still got a slightly higher 7.6.

The last is the scale of painting.

As fox's heaviest project this year, with the cooperation of danilis, mummy 2 won 3543 opening screens. For "American police officer", paramount also did his best to raise 3465 yuan to open the painting screen.

In addition, sandwiched between the two blockbusters, there is a new film "tea boy" starring Hollywood comedian Adam Sandler, which is produced by danilis's new world film. Compared with the huge momentum of the other two blockbusters, even if it tries its best to publicize, tea boy is almost ignored.

The film's reputation is even a mess.

The previous day's premiere on Thursday, according to the statistics on the day of release, the comprehensive media score was only 4.3, which was far less popular than Sandler's wedding singer last year. Variety magazine impolitely criticized the film as "the worst popcorn film pieced together from a stiff and funny bridge".

Although the two versions of the film are not much different from the previous memory, and even better this time, even Simon doesn't expect much more from the tea boy. However, based on the success of wedding singer last year, the new world film team still gave 2654 opening screens.

……

The competition in the film market was fierce, and Simon also had a busy week.

After continuously handling affairs in New York, Simon flew to Boston on Thursday evening to visit two Ukrainian women and their little guys. He stayed in Boston overnight, stayed for another morning, and returned to New York in the afternoon.

At the same time, two Jenny and a group of little guys flew from Los Angeles to the east coast.

On the afternoon of November 20, the Westeros officially moved into the super luxury house on the top floor of Westeros building.

In 1987, the idea of building a westero building imitating the "Avenger building" in memory first came into being. It was prepared for five years. In early 1992, the super building with a design height of 622 meters and an initial budget of $1 billion was officially started. It was capped at the end of 1996. Now it has been officially occupied in 1998, with a time span of 11 years.

In these 11 years, Simon let the whole world see the rise of a wealth miracle. Similarly, now 11 years later, Simon has also contributed an architectural miracle to the world.

Not counting the top antenna equipment and lightning protection measures, the 622 meter high westero building is nearly 200 meters higher than the previous world's tallest building, the 443 meter Empire State building. Moreover, in terms of architectural connotation, it is actually a rather dilapidated Empire State building, It is far from being compared with the westero building, which exceeds the world's highest architectural level in all details from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside.

Not to mention the final total terrorist budget of $2.6 billion, but the top of the Westeros building is definitely not a high-altitude apron, or an amazing existence in the history of modern architecture. If the Westeros are willing to disclose detailed architectural details and technical information, it will definitely become a classic case that can not be bypassed by the Architecture Department of any university in the world.

After a cumbersome arrangement in the afternoon, after dinner, Jennifer was allowed to continue to deal with various details after moving into the new home. Janet took Simon to the top 135 master bedroom.

Without turning on the lights, they hugged each other and stood in front of the transparent full glass window. Even if they were not afraid of heights and looked at the city like an inverted Star River under their feet, this feeling in the clouds inevitably made people feel a little short of breath.

Janet subconsciously tightened the arm of the man holding herself from behind, raised her face, passionately kissed the man who came together, and muttered, "little boy, little bastard, my dear..."

Simon also whispered, "well."

Janet looked out of the window again: "I suddenly found that after so many years with you, my life and your life can be so wonderful."

Simon smiled and joked: "do you feel like making a lot of money?"

"Well," Janet didn't deny it. She turned her head and kissed the man again. Then she said, "we're at the top now. Honey, do you think our future will be better than now?"

"Of course," Simon did not hesitate and joked again: "only a little woman like you will feel that she has stood at the top. In my opinion, everything we have is only the beginning, and it will only be more and more wonderful in the future."

Of course Janet knows.

If men's grand plans can be realized, everything now, indeed, is just the beginning.

Thinking so, Janet soon laughed.

Simon asked, "what are you laughing at?"

Janet said, "I wonder if our story will gradually change from a commercial miracle to a science fiction legend in the future?"

Simon still gave the answer quickly: "that's for sure."

"Why?"

"Have you read Jules Verne's novels?"

Janet nodded, "of course, 20000 miles under the sea."

Simon said, "just say 20000 miles under the sea." At that time, the Nautilus was only a fantasy, but now it has been realized by people. Therefore, from the perspective of people 100 years ago, our current world is a science fiction picture. Similarly, the world in the next 100 years is likely to be a science fiction world in our eyes. "

Janet nodded gently, and her dumb little voice suddenly sighed: "100 years."

The woman in her arms didn't say it clearly. Of course Simon understood where her sigh came from, smiled and hugged her tightly, and said firmly, "believe me, we can all see the world 100 years later."

"I'm actually thinking," Janet suddenly turned around and hugged Simon face to face. "Will you still love me in 100 years?"

Simon did not hesitate again: "of course, you know, I am a piece of ice. I am constantly melted by you. The longer the time, the more love I will have for you."

"Hmm..." Janet answered with satisfaction, put her face on Simon's chest, felt it for a moment, and finally said again, "honey, let's go to bed."

"OK."

Simon agreed, gently picked up the woman in his arms and walked to the big bed in the middle of the master bedroom.

……

The next day Simon woke up with two Jenny.

This is November 21st.

Saturday.

In the small circle of Manhattan, you should know that the Westeros have moved into the Westeros building. However, at the public media level, there was no news under the strong operation of the Westeros family media public relations team. Even with the increasingly open network, there are only a few sporadic information spread by interested people.

After it was discovered, it was also deleted soon.

for nothing.

It's not too much to say that the Internet in this world is surnamed 'westero'.

Through companies such as igrit, Cisco and AOL, Simon has mastered the Internet, which is also equivalent to mastering the absolute rules. In such a virtual world, Simon can become the master at any time if he wants to.

Therefore, the so-called open Internet is only the wishful thinking of some people.

Just as the world has never had absolute freedom.

In order to cover the relocation of the Westeros to the greatest extent, the most lively news today, whether it is the mainstream media or the Internet platform, is the news of the first launch of the space capsule of the international space station yesterday.

The international space station, jointly built by 16 countries around the world, has become a symbol that mankind has officially entered the era of permanent peace after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war.

The crowd reveled.

As for the Gulf War in recent years, the ongoing conflict in Kosovo and the deadly super scuffle in Africa, of course, these are just scabies.

Even if he could see through this, Simon didn't mean anything.

It's not easy for everyone to live in a dream.

Even for the international space station project itself, Simon just looked on coldly.

It is said that human society is jointly developing space. In fact, just like the international thermonuclear fusion experimental reactor, which was aborted a few years ago, the whole project of the international space station is full of too many calculations of member countries, each with their own careful thinking.

As for countries outside the project, it is even more extravagant to want an admission ticket because of their lack of strength.

Just one thing, the world has more than 200 countries and regions, and only 16 countries participate in the international space station. How can this be regarded as the joint development of space by mankind?

In fact, the same is true.

When the cold war ended, it almost announced the abrupt end of mankind's continuous exploration of cutting-edge science and technology in modern times.

Without the fierce competition that may be on the verge of collapse at any time, there will be no driving force to move forward. Even in the information age that everyone talked about in the next 20 or 30 years, its most fundamental technical foundation was all produced in the turbulent era of the 20th century.

Therefore, it seems to be thriving, but in fact, progress is limited.

This morning, with the noise of the launch of the international space station, Simon and Janet hid in the luxury house on the top floor of the westero building and continued to sort out the various projects of their 3G plan without much impact.

Simon is well aware of the trend of the world situation in the next 20 years. Even if his influence as a big butterfly becomes stronger and stronger, fundamentally, some things will not change if he doesn't do it himself.

Simon, of course.

Part is for the world, more for yourself, for the people around you, for 100 years from reality to science fiction, and even 1000 years later.
