Wayne was thinking about it before the plane landed. Just as parents never mentioned what happened to him, they wanted to live a good life now.

Ruben, who likes to collect hunting guns and hunt, and Anna, who likes to cook and Mary Sue TV series, both feel that her life is very happy and peaceful now, and she is unwilling to care about the old things that happened decades ago.

Wayne absolutely does not allow anyone to try to destroy the calm of the farm. After thinking about it, it is probably because of the ruins that year, so he wants to open a breakthrough from George Lucas. The bearded father of Star Wars admires him very much and may be able to ask something.

After the plane landed on the ground, several major actors including Nicholas Cage and Robert Dronney all washed their faces and put on makeup, preparing to face the British media with the best image.

These British Empire media journalists are not as easy to deal with as their North American counterparts. From the moment they entered the airport lobby, countless tricky problems were thrown to the crew.

"Fleet Street!" Taking advantage of the encirclement of the main actors, Wayne, with his assistant and agent, deliberately left behind and quietly got into the car. Now they are still surrounded in the hall, and the security has no effect at all.

While no one noticed himself as the director, several people drove to the hotel first. They were relieved until they checked in the booked suite.

Those reporters were so crazy, and there were not many questions related to the video, and every word was inseparable from the crew’s gossip. Before leaving the airport, Wayne heard a female reporter chasing Nicholas Cage and asked him about smoking contraband on the first day of joining the group…

"We should bring Sergei's boss!" The little assistant sincerely missed the Russian bear, but unfortunately he was on vacation by his boss before leaving.

"He also needs a vacation, Nina. I remember you have the opportunity to take a vacation, but you can't do anything except staying in the manor and walk your dog and watch TV!"

Facing Nina's feelings, Wayne disagreed and had a rare opportunity to give the driver and security a vacation. It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to let him take a few more days off.

It was pretty good to come to London this season, and I perfectly avoided the heavy fog, but the drizzle could not be avoided. As soon as they entered the hotel, they saw thin silks floating outside the window.

Warner Bros. arranged for the premiere of "The Joker" tonight. It was too late to sleep at this time, so Wayne sat in the window with a cup of black tea and looked at the drizzle outside the window.

Such typical London-style weather, like all British literary descriptions, makes people feel the illusion of returning to the last century.

"English literature? Ha!"

Putting black tea on the small table on the balcony made him think of the little wizard naturally! Normally, Ms. Rowling should have started writing Philosopher's Stone in 1989, and it will take a long time before this series of works became famous.

But just thinking about it, Wayne would never have come into contact with this matter. The popularity of the little wizard was achieved by Warner Bros. after acquiring the copyright, he used the most global distribution channel. His personal ability is a scumbag in front of this.

It took Warner Bros. a few years to start with the best-selling lists in various countries, and gradually increase publicity efforts as time goes by, which creates the familiar reputation of "Harry Potter".

It was not until this time that we started to adapt the book into a movie, and then there was an IP worth tens of billions.

This is not something that can be played by individuals at all. With such a large resource and time investment, let alone the little wizard, if you change to another series of books, the ending should be nowhere near.

"Boss, Jeff's phone number!"

The phone call from the assistant interrupted Wayne's mind.

"Hi, Jeff. Is there any good news to tell me?" He picked up the phone and put it in his ear, looking at the drizzle outside the window and said.

"The large-scale films released this weekend are Disney's "The Witches Are Crazy" and 20th Century Fox's "Chasing the Dream and the Child Heart". Jeff Robinoff's voice came from the other end of the phone.

After thinking about these two videos, he had no impression of it at all. "What's wrong? Will it pose a threat to us?"

"How is that possible? I just started to put pressure on theater companies on the phone with Paul Knight of Columbia. No one can challenge the status of "The Joker", at least not yet."

It's so funny. Last week, they were two competitors' films, and the next week they started to work together to squeeze others. Jeff's purpose was not to talk about these distribution plans, but to just contact each other and test Wayne's attitude towards the next project.

He picked up the black tea and took a sip. Wayne said, "Okay. You are professional in these things. It doesn't make much sense to tell me. Jeff. The weather in London is terrible. I hope France can bring us some surprises."

"That's how it's happening, Wayne." The other party paused. "Then I'll just say it. I heard that George Lucas invited you to direct Star Wars?"

This made him realize it suddenly. It seemed that Warner Brothers were nervous. "Yes, I'm still thinking about it. You know how intensive the promotional itinerary of "The Joker" is. I want to wait until everything is over and think carefully about whether to accept it.

I know what you mean, Jeff. Now I can tell you that Warner Bros. and I are almost tied together. If nothing unexpected happens, Warner Bros. is still the producer and publisher of my new project!”

After hanging up the phone, Wayne shook his head. No matter what his choice was, Warner Bros. would be the best partner. For Star Wars, he tends to not take over, and this series is a shortcut. It is also a huge sinkhole.

But it's still too early to make a decision now. Everything has to be discussed. If Lucasfilm is willing to spend money on him and issue him a 20+25 global share contract, Wayne really doesn't mind rewriting the prequel trilogy...

As time goes by, the crew's overseas promotion has been relatively smooth, and the UK's premiere is very successful. It is the second largest Hollywood voting center except North America.

This also started the overseas screening journey of "The Joker". Every time the crew went to a place, it caused a huge response. Just like the performance of this film in North America, it was so popular in dozens of countries.

Just as the crew was running publicity in a European country, the theater market in North America continued to experience the rampant "The Joker".

On the second weekend of the film's release, the box office rebounded strongly on Friday, winning $16.9 million. The box office continued to rise on Saturday, closing at $22.13 million and $16.81 million on Sunday, which is a healthy box office decline trajectory.

The film won $55.84 million again in the second weekend, ranking second box office champion, with a total box office of $184.54 million, ranking first in the 1993 annual box office list.

The second place this week was "The Legend of the Wind" with $16.78 million. Sony Columbia and Warner Bros. pressure greatly squeezed Disney's "The Witches Are Crazy" and Fox's "Chasing Dreams and Childhood Hearts". These two films ranked third and fourth, each with $9.87 million and $7.56 million.

"The Joker" not only continued to sweep the theater market in North America, but also caused a craze for movie viewing in various countries after the first weekend.

The UK had the best box office results in the first weekend, successfully ranked the box office champion of the British Isles with a score of $30.8 million. The notebook was $17.77 million, France $19.8 million, Mexico $18.7 million, South Korea $17.45 million, Russia, Italy, Spain, Australia, Brazil and others all exceeded tens of millions of dollars...

Through rough calculations from Warner Bros.'s overseas distribution department, "The Joker" achieved a box office of more than 190 million US dollars in more than 50 countries and regions in the world in the first weekend.

The overly explosive box office results have caused this alternative Hollywood blockbuster to spark social discussions in more than 50 countries and regions.

Even the crew members who are promoting each country can clearly feel that the popularity of "The Joker" is getting bigger and bigger, and the fans and media who come to greet each other are becoming more and more enthusiastic.

Just as the film came to its third weekend in North American theaters, a video of director Wayne Greenberg flying to hug black movie fans suddenly appeared in various TV media.

This is Warner Bros.'s last wave of large-scale publicity plans in North America, and the results were unexpectedly good. Since the broadcast of this video of more than ten seconds, the market performance, which has already become dull, has ushered in a big rebound.

After earning $8.34 million, $6.97 million, $4.91 million, and $4.2 million each on four days of working days, the film once again won $8.58 million on Friday.

On Saturday and Sunday, it continued to sweep the market, winning US$12.44 million and US$8.22 million in the third weekend after its release during the summer season. With US$29.24 million, it won the third weekend box office champion.

At this time, the film's North American box office was as high as 238.2 million US dollars, and the media called the wolf here. Now this film is the fastest film in film history to break $100 million, the fastest film to break $200 million, the highest box office record for the first weekend, and the highest R-rated film to break $100 million.

Everything is as expected by Warner Bros. and Wayne. In terms of the influence it has on society, this film has surpassed many of its predecessors, and its influence has been perfectly transformed into box office numbers.

Just when the global box office reached $500 million in three weeks after the film was released, a sudden news incident, Warner Bros. called Wayne to leave the publicity team and rush back to North America from Spain.

The atmosphere on the plane was particularly dull, only Jimmy's voice kept ringing.

"On May 31, 1993, in a theater where the Joker was screened in Aurora, Colorado, a madman wearing a clown mask, took a fully automatic AR rifle and launched a crazy strafing at the fans watching the movie in the Aurora Mall Cinema. He was still laughing while shooting..."

"His shooting skills are not good, but before the strafing, he threw a tear gas into the crowd...
