Hollywood Hunter

The last week of May 1990 quietly ended in the summer files opened in "Back to the Future 3" and "Firebird Strike".

In the week of May 25 to May 31, the most talked about is not these two films, but "Batman: Time to War" officially downgraded in North America.

"Batman: Moment of War" was released from December 22 last year to May 31st, and it stayed in the North American theater for a total of 23 weeks. The total box office in North America eventually reached 436.86 million US dollars, which not only created the first Hollywood movie. The box office records of the round show also surpassed the other two blockbuster films of "Star Wars" and "Alien ET", which broke the box office of $400 million after the re-screening.

At the same time, the overseas box office of "Batman: Moment of War" as of the last week of May also reached US$390 million.

Although most of the overseas box office countries have been released, judging from the current screening progress of overseas countries, "Batman: The Time to War" still has at least $100 million in box office potential overseas.Although this record-breaking superhero movie hit the US$1 billion mark at the global box office, although it is difficult, the global box office of US$ 900 million has already been determined.

Irrespective of inflation, the global box office of more than 900 million U.S. dollars puts "Batman: The Moment of War" on the top of the movie box office in Hollywood history.

Moreover, not only at the box office, half a year after the release, the surrounding sales of "Batman: The Moment of War" have also exceeded $1.5 billion.

Although most countries and regions, including North America, will continue to downgrade, there will be no problems with the cumulative sales of $500 million in the second half of the year, and the size of the peripheral sales of the film may even exceed the original annual forecast of $2 billion .

The more brilliant the results of "Batman: Moment of War", the more pressure Jane de Ponte who was appointed by Simon Chin to take over the director of "Batman: The Dark Knight".This pressure is not only from within. I am worried that the photographer who has never directed a movie will mess up the sequel for three days and two ends. After the Igrid portal is launched, a forum forum even appears. A special'We Don't Want Jane de Bonte' fan club.

In order to appease the fans, Daenerys Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures have to repeatedly suggest that the helm of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still Simon himself, and Jane de Bonte will only be an "executor".

When Jane de Ponte even received a death threat letter from Batman fans asking him to withdraw, Simon had to send him far to Melbourne in advance, and Simon could obviously feel that the photographer was born The director held his heart, which made Simon more confident in his choice.

"Batman: The Moment of War" was the last movie related to Daenerys Entertainment last year. This movie is downgraded, and other movies at the end of Daenerys Entertainment have basically ended.

Earlier in "Scream 2", the box office in North America ended up with 112 million US dollars, and the overseas release also came to an end. The box office figure was roughly 93 million US dollars, and the global box office accumulated 205 million US dollars. Although the overall box office performance was not as good as the first, But it is still the most successful youth horror film series in Hollywood.

Thanks to the "Flying Over Childhood" of Thanksgiving, the box office in North America was finally fixed at $163 million. The box office was slightly affected by the impact of "Batman: Moments of War", and the box office was slightly lower than expected at the beginning of the film.Overseas as of the end of May, the box office has accumulated a total of 130 million US dollars, with an estimated box office potential of about 30 million US dollars. The global box office is expected to reach 320 million US dollars.

The fashion documentary "Gucci Seal", the North American box office eventually reached 41.63 million US dollars, because Gucci only seeks marketing and no profit promotion model, overseas countries have better box office figures than North American locals, as of the end of May, it has exceeded 62 million US dollars, and the world has broken 100 million. Numbers, unnaturally "Gucci's Mark" has become the most successful fashion documentary in Hollywood history, and it has also greatly enhanced Gucci's brand awareness.

Affected by "Gucci Seal", Hollywood has begun to produce more than three types of fashion documentaries, and other projects that are still in the pipeline are difficult to count.

Highgate Films' main drive "Miss Daisy" at the end of last year, the local screening was also completed before the downgrade of "Batman: Moment of War", the local box office successfully broke 100 million, reaching 106.5 million US dollars.

Compared with the production cost of the film of 7 million US dollars, "Driving for Miss Daisy" not only made Gaomen Films profitable, but also proved the huge commercial potential of low-cost literary films.

However, because of the strong localization style of the film itself, the overseas box office performance of "Driving for Miss Daisy" is not satisfactory.Although it has the blessing of the best film Oscar aura, as of the end of May, the overseas box office was only more than 26 million US dollars, and the total overseas box office potential is expected to be around 30 million US dollars.

When the next file of "Batman: Moments of War" sparked media discussion, the two new films just over the past week were naturally not completely forgotten.

In the first week of painting, "Back to the Future 3" opened the screen with a scale of 2019, and recovered 27.76 million US dollars at the box office in seven days.

Compared with the second part, the box office of this finale sequel once again showed a significant slip, coupled with a poor word of mouth, no one expects "Back to the Future 3" to come out of a beautiful long-term. The total box office in North America is expected to be roughly 80 million Between 100 million US dollars.

However, the results of "Back to the Future 3" are actually quite good, at least, far exceeding the "Firebird Expert" that Paramount had placed high hopes on to hit the record of "Zhuangzhi Lingyun".

At the same scale of the 2006 blockbuster screen, "Firebird Attack" had a box office of only $7.55 million in the first seven days of the week.

In this fiercely competitive summer stall, the average number of galleries barely exceeding US$3,700 means that the movie will be greatly reduced in two weeks after its release, and will basically enter the downgrade state after a month.

Although there is not much insider discussion about "Rocket Expert" and "Firebird Attack" in the public media, Hollywood has basically spread, and Paramount cut off two projects from Daenerys Entertainment at a high cost.

Then, all failed.

Moreover, it is not just a box office failure. Last year's Christmas file and this year's summer file, the two consecutive "highest quality" "lost" will have a significant impact on Paramount's 1990 movie performance.

After "Back to the Future 3" and "Firebird Strike" lead the start, on June 1, Daenerys Entertainment's "The Ghost Story" and the first blockbuster released by Sony after entering Hollywood "Memories" was released at the same time.

After the premiere on May 30th, Daenerys Entertainment also released the word of mouth for "The End of Human Ghost" on Thursday ahead of schedule.In contrast, the cautious Sony put the media evaluation of "Comprehensive Memories" behind the painting.

However, the word-of-mouth comparison between the two films is somewhat unexpected.

"The Ghost Love is Coming" hasn't seen the obvious one-sided media praise like Daenerys Entertainment's "Sixth Sense of Inception" which started last summer.

"The New York Times" directly gave a bad review, attacking "The Ghost Story is Coming" is'an old-fashioned stupid ghost movie, which is completely incomparable with "Sixth Sense of Insanity".

According to statistics, the media comprehensive score of "The Ghost Love is Coming" only reaches 7.4 points.

If it were in the past, such media ratings are actually good.However, compared with the "Comprehensive Memories" that were originally not optimistic or even reported that Simon Westero personally judged that it was likely to fail, the gap was somewhat obvious.

Unlike some film critics who originally predicted another muscular man to save the world, "Comprehensive Memories" gave the media a big surprise. "Chicago Tribune" praised "Comprehensive Memories" is that Schwarzenegger is maintaining his own style. A breakthrough based on excellence'.

In the first week of the final painting, "Comprehensive Memories" received a total of US$36.08 million with a screen of 2040 screens, and the museum exceeded US$17,000.

In comparison, the opening scale of the 1521 screen of "The End of Human Ghost" is only 19.76 million US dollars at the box office in the first week, and the museums barely reached 13,000 US dollars. Although it still reached the level of big sales, it is compared with "Comprehensive Memories" It is obviously worse.

Then, on June 8, the crime thriller "Presumed Innocence" starring Harrison Ford and Disney's classic animation "Prince of the Forest" re-released.

Although "Presumed Innocence" is not an action movie, its reputation is also very good.

Disney's rerun animation has always had a very stable audience.

This time, many people felt that Daenerys Entertainment was finally going to fail.After all, word of mouth is not great, and the start is not brilliant. Many media predict that the North American box office of "The Ghost Story is Ending" is likely to be only about 60 million US dollars.

60 million US dollars, of course, for the production cost of "20 million US dollars" is not a failure, but for Daenerys Entertainment, this is a failure.

The Daenerys Entertainment distribution team, which only followed up with feedback from the most end-users in real time, faintly spread word of mouth from this film like last year's "Sixth Sense of Soul", and the soundtrack sales of the film's quietly popular , Presumably, this movie may have a chance to make a comeback.

However, no one dares to take a 100% ticket for this kind of thing.

In order to avoid becoming a joke after the news came out, the release team of "Human Ghost Love" simply kept silent about this feedback.

On June 9, in a mansion near Paradise Bay, Malibu.

After the tour of several major cities on the West Coast, Madonna briefly held a celebration party at her Malibu residence.

In addition, just yesterday, after discussing with Simon again, the Madonna team finally announced a long-awaited heavy news for fans, Simon Westeros will be a guest guitarist on June 23, attending Madonna in New York West Concert in Brenda Barry Arena, Rutherford Township, suburban east.

The concert in New York is scheduled to begin on June 20, with a total of four sessions.

The reason why I chose June 23 is mainly because that day happens to be Saturday, which can attract more fans' attention.Moreover, because Simon confirmed to join, before the news spread, Madonna's team sold the live TV rights of the concert at a high price of $6 million, and it is said that special video tapes will be released later.

In fact, because of limited time for rehearsals, Simon will not follow up the audience, and not every guitarist who needs live accompaniment for every song.

In order to avoid the feeling of being cheated by fans, relevant information has been released in advance, however, after the announcement of the concert number that Simon attended yesterday, the ticket booking phone for the concert on June 23 was still exploded.

From April to the present, Madonna's blonde girl has more than half of her ambitious world tour.

Compared to Madonna’s total box office revenue of US$25 million since the last tour, this time, the tour was only halfway through, and the total box office revenue has exceeded US$30 million. It is expected that the global tour concert box office revenue will exceed 60 million. turn off.

Counting various other incomes, Madonna is expected to make more than $30 million in all aspects of income this year, and it is likely to become the first place in the income list of American actors and singers.

Just from the scale of the party in front of me, it is not difficult to see the joy in the heart of this little woman who never hides her ambition.

Simon and Janet lived nearby, and there was nothing tonight, so they hurried over.

After chatting with Madonna, who held her new boyfriend Warren Beatty, and greeted some other guests who stepped forward, Simon was planning to take Janet to the dance floor, but unexpectedly saw Terry. Semel and Peter Cooper.

One of them is the person in charge of Warner Bros. Pictures and the other is the person in charge of Columbia Pictures. Simon is still curious about why the two appear here.

Not to mention the two together.

You should know that because of Sony's acquisition of Cooper-Peters Production Company, Warner and Sony also almost went to court, and finally ended up paying a huge sum of money for Sony.

However, if you think about it for a moment, Simon is not surprised.

For Hollywood, Sony is just an outsider. No matter what happens on the countertop, Terry Semel and Peter Cooper, who have been in the Hollywood for many years, are considered'owners'.

Speaking of that, if it weren't for the rapid opening of Daenerys' entertainment, even if Simon can make money now, for most Hollywood natives, it can only be regarded as an'outsider'.

In March of this year, after Orion Pictures withdrew, Daenerys Entertainment has been successfully replaced as a member of the American Film Association, which controls the US rating agency. This can be said to formally determine the status of Daenerys Entertainment in Hollywood.

Everyone exchanged a few words of warmth, and Semel and Cooper obviously didn't mean to wait too much, so they talked about their intentions immediately.

It turned out that Sony is eager to prepare several major projects to start its own reputation in Hollywood.

What is being negotiated recently is a new film that Steven Spielberg is very interested in, adapted from the famous "Peter Pan" novel called "Captain Hawke".

In addition to Spielberg, Robin Williams is also expected to join.

Terry Semel and Jon Peters suddenly went to Simon this time, but to intercede with Dustin Hoffman.

After canceling the contract with CAA, Dustin Hoffman played a stage play in the UK for a year. The Hollywood veteran coffee maker hopes to resume work. He is also interested in the role of Captain Hawke.However, Simon's attitude is the first thing that needs to be resolved.

Last year, due to the "Rainman" incident and the four people who were forced to terminate the contract with CAA, Tom Cruise's career was basically not greatly affected. Although there was a loss of "Rocket Expert" at the end of last year, Cruise starred in the Easter schedule His "Born on July 4th" still achieved a good box office, and he also has another summer racing movie "Thunderbolt" in collaboration with Paramount, which is also a very successful commercial film.

Barry Levinson, director of "Rainman", also seems to have completed his new film "Avalon" without hindrance.

Dustin Hoffman avoids Europe. This low-key and soft state is actually a concession. With his decades of Hollywood connections, it really makes trouble. He may not be pleased himself, Dan Nellis Entertainment will definitely get a nose out.

Therefore, only Meg Ryan, who had no real relationship with Rain Man, was actually shot on the beach.
