Chapter 489 The Spokesperson

On June 19th, in the third week of "Wonder Woman", three heavyweight new films were released in the North American theater. They were "Peach Deal" by Daenerys and Paramount, and "Alien 3" by Fox. "And Disney's 2D animated film "Aladdin".

As the main projects of various studios, the three films have more than 2,000 screens, the "Peach Deal" is 2,219, the "Alien 3" is 2,381, and the "Aladdin" is 2,137.

The opening of three new films inevitably formed a sniper against Wonder Woman.

However, this female superhero movie has also unleashed its box office potential in the previous two-week lenient period. In the face of the impact of three new films, although the box office drop in the third week of the show expanded to 37%, it still scored 43.16 million Dollar, continue to maintain the first position in the single-week list.

At the same time, after the release last week, the cumulative box office of "Wonder Woman" also exceeded the $200 million mark, reaching $20.267 million.

Relying on the starring roster of Robert Redford and'Catwoman' Valerie Gallino and the controversial topic of whether $1 million is willing to transfer his wife, "Peach Deal" opened the first week at the box office reached $32.27 million, ranking the list Second place.

Disney's 2D animated film "Aladdin" ranked third, with a box office of $29.63 million in the first week, which also exceeded Disney's expectations.

The production cost of this animated film is only 28 million US dollars.

Fox's "Alien 3", which cost US$50 million, has a box office of US$26.84 million in the first week, ranking fourth in the weekly box office list.

The start of "Alien 3" is not low, however, the word-of-mouth of this sequel is somewhat broken. The media comprehensive score is only 4.3 points. The box office in the first week basically relied on the popularity of the alien series and spare no effort to proclaim it.After the first week, the industry generally predicts that the movie will see a big drop at the box office next week.

Afterwards, Disney's "Nun Is Crazy" also ranked fifth. In the fifth week of the release, the dark horse comedy starring Ubi Goldberg continued to receive $7.61 million, with a cumulative box office of $71.31 million.

Faced with the impact of the still powerful "Wonder Woman" and three new films, the week of June 19 to June 25, the single-week box office of "Sisters are also crazy" fell only 11%.Therefore, although the weekly box office volume is only more than 7 million US dollars, this black comedy is still expected to exceed the 100 million yuan mark by virtue of its excellent long-term trend.

Simon's memory of "Nun Is Crazy" has a total box office of more than $130 million in North America.

This time, because of the strong impact of "Wonder Woman", although the total box office in North America of "Nun Is Crazy" is still expected to exceed 100 million, it is difficult to exceed 110 million US dollars, and the scale of shrinkage exceeds 20 million US dollars.

The sixth week of "Lethal Weapons 3" was released. The box office this week was 6.85 million US dollars, ranking sixth, with a cumulative box office of 123.4 million US dollars.

Because of the early opening time, "Deadly Weapon 3" is less affected by "Wonder Woman", and the total box office in North America is still expected to impact $140 million in the original time and space.

Tom Cruise starred in "Earth Ambitions", which cost $60 million. In the fourth week of the release, the box office was only $4.63 million, and the cumulative box office was $35.61 million.

Because the attendance rate continued to decline, the screen size that was continuously decreasing in the new week, because most of the theater screening contracts expired, half of them were directly removed, leaving only 1135 screens. It is expected that the total box office in North America can only barely exceed 4000 Ten million US dollars, which stops within 50 million US dollars.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that, "Ninja Turtle 2", which was released before the Easter schedule, was released for exactly 10 weeks as of June 25.

Because of the popcorn properties of the "Ninja Turtles" series, this sequel began to shrink the canvas from the fourth week of release.When "Wonder Woman" opened on June 5, the canvas of "Ninja Turtle 2" in the mainstream theater was basically transferred to this superhero movie.

From June 19th to June 25th, "Ninja Turtles 2" relied on the scale of 263 screens to continue to accumulate US$290,000, with a cumulative box office of US$11.317 million.

It can be said that in the next few weeks, "Ninja Turtle 2" will be completely painted. The total box office in North America is basically fixed at the number of 113 million US dollars.For an animated adaptation of the popcorn movie sequel, such box office results have been very successful.

San Francisco Bay.

In a villa in the woodside mountains west of Palo Alto.

The time is Saturday, June 27.

I have been involved in the affairs of several technology companies here for two days on Thursday and Friday. I worked until seven o'clock in the evening yesterday, and I attended the dinner of several high-level officials of Igret before returning to Los Angeles.

Early in the morning, he opened his eyes, and Jennifer Rebold felt the breath of the man behind him slamming on his neck, his waist was tightly hugged by a strong arm, and he subconsciously posted a note behind him.

So I felt the men's unique swords in the early morning, and his face was slightly red.

The light from the curtains showed that the sky had lighted up, and an arm caught the watch on the bedside table and glanced at it, at 6.55.

Some are unhappy, but they know it's time to get up.

After several movements in the body, Simon inevitably woke up, took the female assistant into his arms, kissed the girl's neck, and said softly: "Good morning, baby."

"early."

I really like the tone of his voice every time he shouts at random, it's really sweet.

It's just that I have been embarrassed to respond to this, and I am still a little curious. What he called Janet privately is also'Honey', or'baby', it should not be'Darling', it is too formal.

I wanted to ask, but I was afraid that he would feel like he was fighting.

Thinking like this, the arm that was originally holding her swam freely around her, feeling that the body was getting hotter and hotter, almost surrendered, and finally endured: "It's time to get up."

"Ok."

The man pretended to be weak, she couldn't help bending her lips, pulled his arm over, kissed him on the back of the man's hand, and said, "You can sleep for another 15 minutes. I'll get up first and prepare breakfast for you. "

"Last night was tired, I think it is more appropriate to sleep for another half an hour."

"You are a man, you can't be lazy than a woman."

After so much bargaining, the man finally let go, and the female assistant began to get out of bed, dress, and wash.

Before going downstairs, Zoe Parkes and Isabel Dunn who had come together had already gotten up.Knowing Jennifer’s habits, the two women simply explained the ingredients for breakfast and today’s newspaper was ready, and they disappeared voluntarily.

Simon did not continue to stay in bed for half an hour, and soon got up after the female assistant got out of bed.

Habitually ran a few kilometers in the morning in the fresh air of Woodside, and as usual met Larry Ellison.Since I met in this mountain road last year, Simon came to San Francisco many times and was able to meet each other during the morning run. The late founder of Oracle is really good at managing contacts in this subtle place.

After undergoing some grievous adjustments, Oracle has already survived last year's crisis, and the Internet industry's early outbreak of Dongfeng has made this database company even more powerful.

Most professional Internet sites require a database.

Moreover, because Westeros continues to buy 25% of Oracle's shares, Eaglet is also more inclined to adapt to Oracle software during the development of the World Wide Web technology.

There was no substantive topic involved. The two jogged and chatted. Simon returned to his villa, took a bath and changed his clothes. The female assistant was ready for breakfast. He also used the newspaper he used to read at breakfast and yesterday’s The North American theater box office report was also placed on the table.

In the new box office week that opened yesterday, two new films were released again, namely "The Killing Moment" cooperated by Daenerys and MGM and "Double-sided Girl" produced by Columbia Pictures.

The female assistant looked at Simon's box office report yesterday and said to the man with sweet soup: "On the first day it was only 4.79 million US dollars, which seems to be low."

What is said here is "Moment of Killing".

Compared with the original version, the new version of "Moment of Kill" starred Nicholas Cage, Sandra Bullock and Samuel Jackson. The story is similar to the original version in Simon's memory, and is also an adaptation of John Grimson's novel. Is a crime drama involving racial discrimination and judicial justice.

On the first day of $4.79 million, the box office should be between $20 million and $25 million in the first week.

This kind of opening box office, not to mention "Wonder Woman" and "Fatal Weapon 3", is even worse than last week's "Peach Deal".

However, Simon has no worries, saying: "The key is to look at the decline next week. The box office curve pursued by "Moment of Kill" should be comparable to Harrison Ford's "Presumed Innocence."

Two years ago, "Presumed Innocence", the box office at the beginning of the first week was only 10 million US dollars, but because of the strong follow-up trend, the total North American box office of this film continued to break the expectations of the studio, and eventually exceeded 80 million US dollars.

In comparison, "Moment of Kill", which has a similar theme, has a very good start at the box office of 20 million to 25 million US dollars.

After the "Wonder Woman" at the beginning of the month, there was no blockbuster-level movie released this summer. The reputation of "Moment of Kill" has also been recognized by the critics. The subsequent long-term trend is definitely not a problem.

After staying with Simon for so long, of course, Jennifer knows this, but it is a habit that the box office should be better for the projects he personally leads.

After chatting so casually for breakfast, the two flew to Chicago again in the morning.

For the sake of "Home Alone 2".

The sequel to this phenomenal children's comedy, which will be released at the end of the year, has basically been completed.

Simon gave John Hughes full control of the "Home Alone" series. Hughes' film company was in Chicago, and most of the filmmaker's films were also shot and produced in Chicago.

Although Hughes could be sent to Los Angeles, Simon did not do so, but rushed over in person.

After watching this film, you can fly to Toronto for shopping nearby.Unlike Los Angeles and San Francisco, where there are always a lot of eyes staring at attention, in these infrequent cities, as long as they are low-key, they will not be found by anyone.

So until Sunday evening, return to Los Angeles, and then another week of work.

The acquisition of LTD has basically been settled recently, and Victoria's secret fashion show plan is also advancing rapidly.

In the determined schedule, the Victoria's Secret Show will be held in early November, and will be broadcast on the TV network in mid-November, before the peak consumer season at the end of the year.

Because it is a project personally led by Simon, the four major television networks in North America have shown interest in this fashion show.

After several bid negotiations, ABC TV Network bought the TV show rights for the show at a high price of US$5 million.

Although the $5 million price includes the first broadcast and a total of 10 rebroadcast rights over the next five years, such a deal price still makes Leslie Wexner marvel at Simon’s influence.

The budget of the big show is only 10 million US dollars. ABC directly took half of it. As long as it is known, LTD. does not need to transfer half of the copyright of this big show to Daenerys Entertainment.However, Wexner also understood that without the participation of Daenerys Entertainment and the domination of Simon Westeros, ABC would certainly not have such a high price.

The forty Victoria Secret Angels and five Victoria Secret Angels spokespersons in the plan have also become the objects of recent competition in the model circle.

The forty catwalk team seems to be quite large, and it seems insignificant in the entire model circle.There is almost no threshold in the modeling industry. As long as there is a decent skin, you can basically enter the industry. However, there are very few who can really climb to the top.

In the past few years, the famous supermodels, Cindy Crawford, Linda Ivangolinsta, Claudia Schiffer, etc., are all full of luck.

The big show of Victoria Secret has attracted strong media attention just after its exposure. The major model agencies in North America and Europe have realized that compared with the top luxury brands that have a brand that is radiant but the exposure rate of the catwalk is not high after all, this time by Simon· Westeros will dominate the lingerie fashion show that will be broadcast on TV and will become a very rare exposure platform.

If a model wants to be high, whether it is to gossip with a star singer, to log on the cover of a fashion magazine, or to participate in a top brand catwalk, in the final analysis, the pursuit of is just an exposure.

Many luxury brands always give the general public a very cold feeling, but in fact, these brands, whether they are catwalks or endorsements, will only choose more famous models.This can be seen from many luxury brands hiring IT Girls or Internet celebrities to participate in catwalks after many years.

Internet celebrities, in particular, are not at all high-profile, but this group has tens of millions of followers and has an exposure rate that ordinary supermodels can't match.

Therefore, the major model agency companies have recently adopted various relationships and hope to send their models to the forty Victoria Secret Angel places.As for the more popular five angel spokesmen, whether it is the top supermodel who has already achieved fame, or the newly emerging and backwards who have just emerged, they are also closely watching.
