Hollywood Hunter

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The aftermath of the new presidential election quickly settled, and in the following period, almost all the news that could attract people's attention in Hollywood came from Daenerys Entertainment.

From November 4th to November 10th, the 17th week of its release, "Instinct" officially dropped in North America, with a total box office of 117.12 million US dollars.

At the same time, in the second week of the release of "Scream", the box office drop remained at a very impressive 19%, and it collected another 18.35 million US dollars in the next seven days, and the cumulative box office reached 39.06 million US dollars. In just these two weeks of screening, Daenerys Entertainment has completely recovered the entire investment in the film and made a profit.

In addition, the first-week screening results of "Steel Magnolia" were also released on the same day, with a total of 22 screening screens and an average of more than 68,000 US dollars in a single venue. In the first week of screening, this film that was originally not popular with many people was harvested. made $1.51 million at the box office.

Then, the week before Thanksgiving, Hollywood's end-of-year schedule finally started to get lively.

On November 11, if you count the films that are also dozens of screens, a total of 7 new films will be released in Hollywood.

However, what is surprising is that during the week from November 11 to November 17, although the box office decline expanded to 23% compared to the first week, "Scream" still maintained its single-week box office champion position. Collecting another 13.96 million US dollars, the cumulative box office in three weeks quickly reached 53.02 million US dollars.

Moreover, the film following "Scream" is also a bit surprising. The horror film "Ghost Resurrection" produced by Lianmei Pictures earned $9.61 million at the box office in its first week.

If it weren't for "Scream", obviously, this later very well-known horror film series would also be the weekly box office champion. However, people couldn't help but find a problem. During Thanksgiving, which should have been full of family fun, the two highest-grossing films were all horror films, which is not normal at all.

That's true.

Usually, only second-tier film companies that specialize in horror films like New Line are keen to push their own horror films into the hottest schedule possible, because they have no choice. By analogy, Hollywood actually doesn't have many choices. In the final analysis, it is the result of the Hollywood screenwriter's strike.

Simon has studied the release list at the end of the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China. If Daenerys Entertainment is not included, there is indeed no work in the Thanksgiving schedule of major Hollywood studios that can squeeze into the top ten of the box office list in his memory.

Only two films on the Christmas schedule have this kind of potential, one is "Dragon Brother and Mouse" starring Schwarzenegger by Universal Pictures, and the other is "The White-Headed Detective" by Paramount Pictures. The release time of these works is not the most popular around Christmas. The release date of "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" is December 9th, and the release date of "White-Headed Detective" is December 2nd. Obviously, Universal and Paramount have a release date. I'm not optimistic about these two works, but they have become dark horses at the box office next month's Christmas schedule.

However, this schedule arrangement actually means another thing, the popular December 16 schedule and December 23 schedule, the seven major film companies are equal to "let" out again. Daenerys Entertainment's "Rain Man" and "Dead Poets Society" will be released on a large scale in the past two weeks.

Looking at the front again, after "The Ghost Baby", the focus is still "Steel Magnolia".

In the second week of the screening, the number of screens for "Steel Magnolia" increased to 35. Although the weekly box office of a single museum dropped from $68,000 to $66,000, it still earned $2.35 million in seven days.

As a result, in the screening stage, the cumulative box office of "Steel Magnolia" has reached 3.86 million US dollars, which is almost equal to the total box office of "Oolong Agent" produced by Warner Bros.

In addition, like "Instinct", on November 17, "Pulp Fiction", which was released in North America for 23 weeks, was also drawn. The cumulative box office in half a year reached 156.93 million US dollars, temporarily ranking first in the 1988 North American box office rankings. Location.

Pulp Fiction is followed by Disney's live-action and animation film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which has shrunk to less than $500,000 a week, and has also topped $150 million.

Still, as long as Disney isn't paying for the box office intentionally for an annual top spot, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is largely unlikely to overtake "Pulp Fiction" in its final weeks of release.

With Pulp Fiction's downgrade, Hollywood once again realized that while none of the three films Pulp Fiction, When Harry Met Sally, and Instinct were distributed by Daenerys Entertainment, who There is no denying that they are the works of Daenerys Entertainment, the projects controlled by Simon Westeros.

Moreover, these three works that have been downgraded all rank in the top ten of the North American annual list. The three films have collectively earned more than $380 million at the North American box office, which is equivalent to the annual box office total of more than half of the studios of the seven major film companies.

At this point, with the box office performances of "Scream" and "Steel Magnolia" still dazzling at the end of the year, Hollywood finally felt the pressure from Daenerys Entertainment.

The most important thing is that although they are very reluctant to admit it, the seven leaders also have to face a reality.

Just like what Simon asked Jack Valenti to convey, although Daenerys Entertainment has only risen for two years, it has truly become one of Hollywood's players. Hollywood's trick to deal with latecomers is nothing more than restricting distribution channels and funding sources, or adding some

Not-so-sophisticated lawsuit bombing and scandal tactics, but these tactics are almost useless in front of Daenerys Entertainment.

Simon Westeros' third-billion-dollar net worth in the United States is enough to keep Daenerys Entertainment from being plagued by a cash crunch. Stimulated by a series of best-selling blockbusters, North American theater operators will not cooperate with the seven major companies to block the distribution channels of Daenerys Entertainment, but will scramble to cooperate with each other.

As for those unpopular methods, it may be very useful to deal with some weak or difficult film companies, but for Daenerys Entertainment, the result is likely to usher in a strong counterattack.

However, there always seems to be some 'breakthrough' in things.

When the whole of Hollywood was sighing and bewildered by the rise of Daenerys Entertainment, the news that Paramount Pictures was negotiating with Wes Craven, the director of "Scream", made many people wake up. .

really.

Even if he can't directly fight against Daenerys Entertainment, he can completely dig a foothold from Daenerys Entertainment.

As this rising star grows, Simon Westeros, no matter how talented, can't do everything alone. Moreover, even if "Scream" is still the work of Simon Westeros, when "Steel Magnolia" once again shows that the box office dark horse is the momentum, not many people in Hollywood will doubt Simon Westero. Lowe has an eye for selecting projects and talents.

Who wouldn't do something like prying the corner?

Due to the popular test screening effect of "Steel Magnolia", when the film officially opened on a large scale in North America on November 18, the number of screens of the film has increased from 922 in the previous signing stage to 1,135. Weeks, as long as the film's box office performance can meet expectations, major North American theater chains will provide more screen resources for the film.

Inspired by "Scream," Daenerys Entertainment's distribution team went bolder with the announcement of "Steel Magnolia."

A week before its release, "Steel Magnolia" even ran a commercial on ABC's "Who Will Be a Millionaire" show. The ratings of "Who Will Be a Millionaire" have been suppressed by "Survivor" during this period of time, but compared to "Survivor", it is the most suitable show for audiences of all ages. It happens to be the same as "Steel Magnolia" 》The target audience of the holiday family carnival film matches.

As one of the most expensive TV shows in North America at the moment, Daenerys Entertainment's previous "Scream" did not dare to advertise on "Who Will Be a Millionaire" because the winter break is approaching , and the next "Rain Man" and "Dead Poets Society" have no such opportunity. "Who's going to be a millionaire" three times a week, with two 30-second commercial breaks per episode, cost Daenerys Entertainment $1.5 million in advertising dollars.

In the end, from November 18 to November 24, the week of Thanksgiving, "Steel Magnolia" unexpectedly and unexpectedly replaced "Scream" as the box office champion of the new week.

The final cumulative box office of "Steel Magnolia" in the first seven days of the week was $12.81 million.

In essence, it is still the limit of female films after all. At $12.81 million, this figure is indeed far less than the $20.71 million in the first week of "Scream", but it is already the best opening at the end of the year after "Scream". draw results. The film's first-week single-venue average box office also reached the $10,000 blockbuster level.

Although there is no shortage of arguments that the box office performance of "Steel Magnolia" is not as good as expected, more people understand that because of the good word of mouth and the spread of word of mouth from the audience, the box office of "Steel Magnolia" is very hopeful. The summer file "Flying Over the Future" has walked out of a very beautiful long line.

The subsequent box office numbers for "Steel Magnolia" also immediately proved this.

During the Thanksgiving weekend from November 25th to November 27th, compared to the first weekend, the box office of this film dropped by only a very slight 5%. Compared with the $8.26 million in the first weekend, the box office of the next three-day weekend still reached 7.86 million. In US dollars, the cumulative box office in ten days was 20.67 million US dollars.

Malibu.

Time unknowingly is already November 29, Tuesday.

Simon didn't go to the company in the morning, because today he has to sign some contracts such as bank loans and real estate settlement. After Janet traveled to Europe in person last time, Sophia Fisher completely helped Simon get the European real estate matters.

France's Crédit Lyon finally decided to provide Simon with this loan. Taking into account other expenses such as renovation and maintenance of some houses, Simon simply lent $200 million from Crédit Lyon at one time.

After negotiations between the two parties, perhaps to pave the way for future cooperation, the Lyon Credit Bank gave Simon a very favorable 4.3% annual loan interest rate this time for a period of five years.

With the continuous release of "Instinct" and "Pulp Fiction" and the arrival of the winter break of TV series, Daenerys Entertainment will intensively receive a lot of share and final payment in the next month or so, but this huge profit will not be enough. Simon's repayment ability has been ensured, not to mention, even if no other popular projects appear in the next few years, Daenerys Entertainment is destined to continue to gain more benefits from existing projects.

Various formalities and contracts were carried out all morning, and Simon did not ignore the goodwill shown by Crédit Lyon this time. At noon, a small luncheon was specially held to entertain the representatives of Crédit Lyon, who came from France.

The luncheon went on at two o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the guests were sent off. Simon discussed some Westeros business affairs with James Raybold, who also came from New York this time, and the villa finally became quiet.

After tossing for a long time, Simon is comfortable

After taking a shower, changing clothes and coming out, looking at Janet who was huddled on the living room sofa with Sofia Fisher and discussing how to remodel the property, Simon felt helpless, and the woman left Sofia behind.

Wearing a tie on his own, Simon said to Janet, "Then, let's talk slowly. I'll go to the company first, and there are still some things to do at 4 o'clock."

Janet got up and leaned over with a smile, took Simon's tie and fiddled with it, then walked out with him and said, "We bought so many houses at once, when are we going to live there?"

"Next year," Simon felt Janet hanging on him intimately, and said: "There is still a busy year, and when the production of "Batman" ends next year, the company is completely stabilized, and we have a good rest for a while."

"Well," Janet leaned her head on Simon's shoulder and said, "It's settled."

"Of course," Simon said. "I didn't want to be a workaholic all my life. Of course I still have to enjoy life."

Janet curled her lips and said, "Hmph, many workaholics think this way, but they can't stop for the rest of their lives."

Simon smiled and said: "Isn't there still you, I can't stop, just jump out and drag your legs."

"I said it a long time ago, I won't ask you to regret it," Janet took Simon to the side of the car, and nodded her head confidently, "Never."

Neil Benetra opened the door, and Simon kissed the woman's forehead, and said, "You still have to drag your legs when you should."

Saying goodbye with a smile, Simon got in the car and hurried to the company headquarters in Santa Monica.

There was not enough working time today, and Simon arranged to meet with several Wonder Woman candidates.

During this time, various Hollywood film companies have sent several batches of Wonder Woman candidates in succession. Although many brokerage companies have subconsciously selected the type of Linda Carter, there are still many who meet Simon's requirements. I easily found a few of my desired goals from these people.
