Hollywood Hunter

On December 27, the last week of 1991, three new films were opened in the North American theater. They were "Fried Green Tomatoes" by Universal Pictures, "For the Boys" by Fox, and "Story of Time" by Warner Bros. ".

However, no matter whether it is "Fried Green Tomatoes" that Daenerys Entertainment took over from Universal, "For Boys" by Fox Pictures, or "The Thundering Time" directed and starred by Barbara Streisand produced by Warner Bros. Shows a threat to "The Flash".

After the $72.86 million box office in the first week and three days the following weekend, "The Flash" fell only 27% from the first weekend box office, and received another $36.01 million.

In ten days, the cumulative box office of this superhero masterpiece successfully broke through 100 million, reaching 100.887 million US dollars.

After "The Flash", "The Thousand Years" with a budget of 30 million US dollars ranked second. This drama film was credited with 10.03 million US dollars in three days of painting. Although it cannot be compared with "The Flash", it also reached Warner's expectations.

However, the film’s overall media score is only 6.8. Even with Daenerys Entertainment’s active retreat, Warner Bros. Pictures has a lot of difficulty in striking the Oscar with this movie.After all, not to mention the other, only the previous "Piano Don't Love" has already achieved a good score of 9.2 points.

"For Boys" by Fox Pictures is an old-school music and dance film with a budget of US$40 million.

However, this movie with 1308 screens was a complete disaster for Fox.

The production budget of 40 million US dollars, the first three days of the opening week, the box office only received 4.53 million US dollars, and the film's media score was only a poor 4.3 points.

According to such a start, the total box office of "For Boys" in North America is likely to stop at less than 20 million US dollars, and the project is destined to bring Fox a large loss.

The last new film "Fried Green Tomatoes" starred in the actresses of Casey Bates, Mary Louise Parker and other actresses, telling the story of a pair of girls who grew up in the small town of Alabama in the southern United States in the early century Friendship story.

"Fried Green Tomatoes" feels very similar to the stage change movie "Steel Magnolia" by Daenerys Entertainment two years ago. The same conservative southern town also tells the story of a woman, passing the same About warm elements such as family and friendship.

Not only that, "Fried Green Tomatoes" has the lowest budget of three new films this week, only 11 million US dollars.

As a lottery film originally planned by the world, "Fried Green Tomatoes" continued the original distribution strategy, and the screen size was only 35 pieces.

After the release, this female drama comedy film has also won a fairly good reputation. The media comprehensive score reached 7.4, which may not become an Oscar hit, but the film is as popular as the original "Magnolia Flower", three days on the first weekend The museum has already received 46,000 US dollars, and has received 1.61 million US dollars.

In addition, a lot of old movies at the end of the year, "Toy Story" fell 17% compared with the same period last week this weekend, and received another 9.15 million US dollars, lagging behind "Flash" and "The Thundering Time", ranking the week The third in the box office list, the cumulative box office reached 155.45 million US dollars, steadily hit 200 million US dollars.

"Captain Hawke" continued to pay USD 8.03 million for the third weekend, which was a 17% drop compared to the same period last week. It ranked fourth in the list, and the cumulative box office reached USD 40.41 million.

Oliver Stone's "Assassination of Kennedy" opened with a $4.69 million box office at the weekend of the third week. It is slightly ahead of Fox Pictures' new film "For the Boys". This well-regarded gimmick and full-length historical drama is due to bad luck. Opening the painting into the third weekend, the cumulative box office is only 23.68 million US dollars.

According to the film's continued weak decline of 13% last week and 19% this week, "Assassination of Kennedy" is still very promising to hit the $50 million box office after a long-term screening.

Of course, compared with the production budget of 40 million US dollars, the producer Paramount is under great pressure to pay back.

When Daenerys Entertainment voluntarily withdrew from this year's Oscar competition, "Assassination of Kennedy" will undoubtedly also become the most powerful competitor of Warner's "Story of the Year".

In addition to the top five, it is worth mentioning "The Piano Don't Love" produced by Gaomen Pictures.

Because of its small-scale long-term screening strategy, this well-regarded literary and artistic film has not occupied a prominent position on the list since its opening.

However, since the opening of the painting on December 6, the screen size increased to 335 as of last week, and the box office number of the film has also unconsciously started to exert force, with 335 screens on seven days from December 20 to December 26. The scale of the book is 5.69 million US dollars, and the museums have reached 17,000 US dollars. Counting the previous small-scale screenings, the cumulative box office also reached 9.1 million US dollars.

In this new week, which started on December 27, the scale of "Piano Love" continued to increase to 556, and continued to accumulate US$4.76 million over the three days of the weekend, with a cumulative box office of US$13.86 million.

Not only that, in the nomination of the new Golden Globe Awards announced on December 23, "Piano Love" also won six core awards such as best film in the drama category, best director, and best actress in the drama category.

Considering that "Piano Don't Love" has a production budget of only US$7 million, this niche literary film is expected to bring more profits to Daenerys Entertainment than many large-scale movies produced at the end of the year.

After the last weekend in 1991, New Year's Day 1992 was approaching.

Outside disturbances, including the tremendous changes in Eastern Europe, have not affected the three of the Simons to spend a lively Christmas.

In the new week, the various decorations during Christmas have not been removed, and the Dumei Cape Estate continues to prepare for the New Year.

On December 31, the last day of 1991, it was a Tuesday.

C girl Claire Gein came to Dumei Point Manor at about 10:30 in the morning and greeted the guards and bodyguards enthusiastically. She drove into the manor, and her eyes were as colorful as a fairy tale kingdom. There are obvious differences.

I knew in my heart that this was obviously due to the birth of a little guy, which made the two owners a bit more childish.

Stopped the car in front of the Shell Villa. Just after getting off, I saw a pair of girls replacing the colorful decoration on the bypass light pole of the corridor. Christmas has passed, and ordinary people obviously will not do it. The division has continued.

This is the girl in the team led by the housekeeper Alice Ferguson, but Claire also knows that a man named Zoe Parks has big eyes and a little baby face, which seems to be a bit like Alice. Not clear.

Girls actually know the sexual orientation of the housekeeper.

The other is Isabelle Dunn. Isabelle's most obvious characteristic is that she has the hottest figure among all the girls. The natural ups and downs in the chest between the movements, even women can't help it.

As time went on, girl C became more and more aware that the hostess obviously put a group of beautiful and exquisite large vases deliberately beside the hostess.

Anything that has been read too much is too easy to obtain, and it will generate resistance.

Think of the stars in Hollywood circles who have sexually scandalous sex with their wives and beautiful wives, but with the ugly maids in their families, Claire feels that Janet is too shrewd.

Of course, the premise is that the host must have enough self-control.

Even Claire couldn't help sighing at this point.

The girls know in private that a large group of vases surrounds them, and they all have a mind that does not mind a little bit of ambiguity with the host.However, until now, one of the guys had never touched it, even the hostess had never been pregnant.

It seems that they are gathered around, purely for the sake of pleasing to the eyes.

It seems that this is really the case.

Saying hello to Zoe and Isabel, Claire entered the Shell Villa, and there were girls busy in the spacious hall.

Walking straight to the housekeeper holding a folder and directing the two girls to hang a picture on the wall, he said a few words. Alice pointed to the west side of the hall and said, "Lady is in the gym."

Nodded, she felt some sympathy for the butler who had been pressed by Simon, and girl C turned and walked towards the gym.

Alice Ferguson is in charge of Ygrid’s very important Ystore team, and is currently in the process of preparing for the upcoming Amazon online store. However, unlike Claire, who can be converted to full-time, Alice still has to bear the Westeros daughter. The duties of the housekeeper.

Back at this home, the pier to worship first is obviously the hostess.

Came to the gym on the west side of the hall and tapped gently on the door. Janet, who was practicing yoga under the guidance of a girl in a pink yoga suit, glimpsed at her, just made a look, and Claire walked in smartly.

Can't help but look at the Indian girl beside Janet wearing a two-piece flesh-colored exercise suit with a charming waist and a charming and enchanting posture. Although the appearance of the girl is Indian, the skin color of this girl is no different from that of white. Obviously the kind that the host likes.

Based on the fact that girl C doesn't know much about India, she also knows that this girl should have a high caste.

Janet was very attentive when practicing yoga, and the C girl did not take the initiative to bother.

Sitting quietly on the floor next to the floor, patiently waiting for Janet to practice for more than ten minutes under the guidance of the Indian girl, so until eleven o'clock, seeing Janet stopping to practice, C girl moves skillfully to help the girl The host passed the towel.

Janet wiped not much sweat on her forehead and casually introduced: "This is Aaliyah."

Janet opened her mouth, and the Indian girl took the initiative to introduce herself in an apparently substandard English: "Hello, this is Alia Makheji."

"Claire Gein."

Girl C reached over and shook hands with the Indian girl, but she was not quite sure how to make Makheji.

Janet said next to her: "Alia is from India, and her yoga is very good."

Claire smiled and added a few words. When everyone left the gym together, Janet casually said as she walked through the hall: "I went to take a bath upstairs. Simon is looking after the baby. Let Alia take you."

Girl C was very active: "Ma'am, do you need my help?"

Janet glanced at her and shook her head with a smile, said: "No, upstairs is ready."

As the hostess turned to the stairs and disappeared, the two girls looked at each other together. Alia Makkhji seemed to look at Claire again and said, "Are you, C?"

Claire noticed the slight contempt in Aaliya's tone and understood it.

Four girls ABCD, ABD are still here.

The Indian beauty obviously regarded her as a maid.

Ok.

It seems that this is also true.

I just watched this Indian beauty accompany her hostess to practice yoga. Girl C was still moved by the feeling of calmness and beauty. At this time, she understood that the hostess never found a real vase by her side.

At least, this girl definitely has no shortage of imagination.

Obviously, look at the flesh-colored practice clothes with exposed waists, it will definitely not be used to seduce the hostess.

Simply did not answer the Indian girl's slightly provocative question, Claire directly said: "Where is the boss, take me over."

Aaliyah frowned slightly, but walked to the next Saturday.

Claire walked side by side with her, but couldn't help but say: "Mak Herzi, what kind of caste is this in India?"

"It's Makheji," the Indian girl corrected a serious sentence, then lifted her chin slightly, and said, "Brahman."

Claire is actually not quite sure how to divide the caste class in India, but listening to Aria’s tone, she understood a bit, but continued: "Oh, I heard that Indians like curry very much, and they will also have a curry taste. "

Alia glanced at her and said, "I am a strict vegetarian."

Girl C can actually smell the good smell of the woman from the Indian girl next to her. Of course, she deliberately stabbed, so she asked: "What if the boss lets you eat meat?"

"Mr. Westeros is a good person and will not force me to do this kind of thing."

"I mean if."

Aaliyah continued to lift her chin slightly: "You are not qualified to say such an if for Mr. Westeros."

"..."

Some little came to the door of a room depressively. This is the baby room on the first floor. Girl C knew that there were at least three baby rooms in the villa.

In addition to Simon, who was holding a little guy to breastfeed, there was Girl D and Shirley Lansing, CEO of MGM Pictures.

The two girls came to the door. Alia had no pride in front of the girl C, and gently tapped on the door respectfully, saying, "Sir, my wife asked me to bring this lady over."

Simon carefully put away the bottle and turned his head to look at it, laughing: "Claire, come in."

The boss didn't call himself C anymore, which made Claire somewhat lost and grateful. She entered the door with a smile, greeted Shirley Lansing, and looked over at a little guy, complimenting with a smile.

With a few words of greeting, Simon said to Shirley Lansing: "That's it, the 007 series must be reset. There is no room for discussion on this matter. You go back and discuss with the Brockley family. MGM also needs to get more changes. More control. If they disagree, the series will be put on hold temporarily."
