Hollywood Hunter

At the same time as the opening of the Christmas file on the first week of December 18, the box office in the past week was officially released.

From December 11th to December 17th, the one-week box office champion was still won by "Devil Alone 2". In the fourth week of the release, "Devil Alone 2" continued to earn $12.39 million.

The sequel to this phenomenal children’s comedy has reached a total of US$12.176 million at the box office during the past month.

Taking into account that the single-week box office base is still more than 10 million US dollars, "Ghost House 2" will be able to receive at least 5,000 US dollars in the future, the total box office in North America is expected to be between 170 million and 200 million US dollars.

If there is no "Jurassic Park", "Home Alone 2" will definitely become the most popular movie at the end of the year across Thanksgiving and Christmas.

However, this can only be if.

When the potential dispute between Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group on the DC movie universe quickly fermented in the media, the box office data of "Jurassic Park" also began to attract much attention.

On December 18th, in addition to "Jurassic Park", there was another fantasy comedy "Toy" starring Robin Williams in North America, with a screen size of 1,272.The film tells the story of two heirs of a toy factory using toys to compete for control.

Compared with the overall 9.3-point media rating of "Jurassic Park" after the premiere, Robin Williams' word of mouth for this new film can only be described as unbearable. The comprehensive media rating is only a poor 3.2.

In a superior apartment in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Since his speech at the meeting on Wednesday was exposed, Gerald Levin has been in a state of anxiety. The Jurassic Park feedback from the opening of the painting yesterday was a great event for watching movies. The restlessness in my heart added a bit.

Not surprisingly, it is difficult for Steve Rose to survive this Christmas. If he knew this, he would not be too eager to seize power.

It's a pity that things have happened and regret is too late.

Now we can only expect that there will be no surprises in the power transfer process of Time Warner.

Moreover, this biggest variable is actually in a young man.

Gerald Levin certainly knows the importance of the DC movie universe to Time Warner. The speech at the last meeting was just a language strategy to run against Ross. At least, in his heart, there was no real entertainment with Daenerys. To start the renegotiation, once the DC movie universe plan is destroyed, even if he has successfully taken the CEO of Time Warner, he will probably be ousted.

But I didn't expect that someone would stab it out.

Gerald Levin is almost certain that Terry Semel did this.

However, he could not attack the opponent.

First of all, he really said the words exposed in the media. Even if it was misinterpreted, most of the facts could not be refuted.

Secondly, there is no evidence. Even if the other party breaks the rules and lacks evidence, he can't take Terry Semel.

Daenerys Entertainment's reaction to this matter does not seem to be so intense, but Gerald Levin is still uneasy.

The key is the young man's silence.

Although he said at the meeting on Wednesday that Simon Westero was a hairy kid, he still knew what it meant for a hairy kid with a net worth of $65 billion.

Gerald Levin remembers the original "Bouncer" soundtrack record incident, so he understands that the young man who always seems to give a lack of aggressive feeling often leaves no room once launched.

If the other party gets involved in the power dispute within Time Warner because of his speech at the Wednesday meeting, it is difficult to say what will happen.

The reason why Steve Rose can stay in the position of the Time Warner leader for a long time is largely due to the support of a large number of Hollywood top filmmakers. In the 1980s, Warner Bros. was the most difficult period.

Simon Westero's influence in Hollywood at this time is definitely far more than Spielberg and others.

Moreover, Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group have a very close relationship because of the cooperation in the DC movie universe and other projects.

Even if Levin is already recognized by most people as the successor of Time Warner’s chairman, the company is not without competitors. Although the qualifications of Terry Semel and Robert Daly are slightly shallower than him, if someone supports it, he will serve as the time. The position of chairman of Warner is actually a pass.

In these days, Levine wanted to actively explore the other party's mind more than once, but he couldn't let go of his restraint and pride as a media group executive.

Unconsciously, it was sleepless again.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the phone rang and Levin sat up directly on the big bed and picked up the microphone.

Ignoring the grumble of his wife's dissatisfaction, Levine and the other side said a few words, got out of bed and went to the study, turned on the computer, and logged in to the Igreat portal.

The bold headlines on the website are extremely eye-catching and even dazzling.

""Jurassic Park" $21.76 million on the first day, breaking Spielberg's box office record."

Without clicking on the detailed news page, Gerald Levin only felt a bit bitter in his mouth.

On the first day, 21.76 million US dollars, then, the first three days at the box office should be around 60 million US dollars, the first week of seven days, 90 million US dollars.

90 million dollars.

Spielberg's "Avatar 3" three years ago only had more than $46 million at the box office in the first week.

"Jurassic Park" reached US$90 million at the box office in the first week, which has fully reached the DC movie universe project's big selling level.

At the meeting on Wednesday, Levin proposed to renegotiate with Daenerys Entertainment because Daenerys Entertainment also relied heavily on the DC movie universe and could not easily turn over.

Now, a "Jurassic Park" directly overturned his argument.

More importantly, unlike the DC movie universe shared by both parties, "Jurassic Park" is completely a Daenerys entertainment's own project, and the profits are all owned by the other party.That is to say, a "Jurassic Park" with a box office volume equivalent to the DC movie universe, the benefits brought to Daenerys Entertainment are actually equivalent to two DC movie universe projects.

Gerald Levin also knew that from the beginning, Daenerys Entertainment's plan for "Jurassic Park" was a trilogy.

If you rely on it, Daenerys Entertainment, which has occupied a large number of places on the annual box office list in recent years, is not as dependent on the DC movie universe as the Time Warner Group.

At this time there is "Jurassic Park", then, the next question is probably whether Daenerys Entertainment wants to renegotiate to share more benefits from the DC Film Universe project.

After sitting in front of the computer for a moment, Gerald Levin finally picked up the phone and asked the assistant to arrange a call with Simon Westero.

The Simons are in Melbourne, but they have also been paying attention to the'lively' scene in North America over the past few days.

After Gerald Levin's remarks at the internal meeting were exposed, Simon quickly received a call from Terry Semel. The other party expressed sincerely in the call that as long as he can continue to be in charge of Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Movies The universe plan will never change.

Later, when "Jurassic Park" came out at the box office on the first day, Levin's phone came.

Simon's mentality on this is more of a stern look.

The two worlds were human, how could he not see through the twists and turns.

Although, if he launched his existing influence, it is indeed very promising to disturb Gerald Levin's plan to take over the position of Ross, but Simon can't think of any reason to do so.

Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group are ultimately competitors in the same media industry.

As long as you have a little mind, you should understand that keeping competitors in an unstable state of infighting for a long time is definitely better than a single enemy.

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment is very strong in the media, there is no meaning of concession, but privately, Simon’s instructions to Amy Pascal are very simple: just watch the fun.

The incident was on until Sunday, December 20, when another news came.

Steve Rose died in the East Hampton Manor on the evening of December 20 at the age of 65.This media tycoon, who was contemporaneous with Rupert Murdoch and Sam Redstone, was largely lost to time.

The North American media was full of news about Rose's death for a time, and a large number of Hollywood filmmakers also expressed their condolences.

Simon did not return to North America to meet the other side before Ross died. Although the relationship between the two sides is good, it has not reached that level.However, Simon also accepted the invitation of the Ross family and planned to attend the other party's funeral on December 27 a week later.

Therefore, the time to return to North America can only be advanced, and it is impossible to spend the New Year in Melbourne.

Time Warner Group, while expressing condolences to Ross's death, did not immediately announce Rose's successor.

Obviously, the internal power game continues.

The end of the year in North America will not be greatly affected by the death of a media mogul.

After the first day of 21.76 million US dollars, "Jurassic Park" continued to break through, reaching the box office of 60.31 million US dollars on the first three days of the weekend.

In the end, when the first week of screenings ended, this prehistoric monster movie that brought a strong visual shock to the audience, the cumulative box office in seven days has reached an astonishing $91.38 million.

Even though some of the box office miracles that Daenerys Entertainment has created in recent years have been somewhat commonplace, most media are still amazed by the first week of "Jurassic Park."

At the same time, Gerald Levin's remarks at Warner's internal meeting were again hyped by some media with ulterior motives.

In the first week, US$91.38 million almost guaranteed the local box office for Jurassic Park starting in North America with US$300 million.

With the theme of this dinosaur movie, the overseas box office will not be much worse.

In addition, as the box office of "Jurassic Park" exploded, the surrounding sales of the film also quickly became popular.Regarding the development of the surrounding products of "Jurassic Park", this is directly expressed in the lens of the surrounding shops in the film.Moreover, the large number of dinosaur characters appearing in the film is also very suitable for developing surroundings.

Although there is no official data of Daenerys Entertainment, many media have determined that the project "Jurassic Park" is expected to bring the benefits of Daenerys Entertainment to no less than a DC movie universe blockbuster.

More accurately, because the DC movie universe project is often a collaboration between Daenerys and Time Warner, it is necessary to share profits. The revenue of "Jurassic Park" may be equivalent to two DC movies for Daenerys Entertainment. The revenue of the universe film.

In this case, Daenerys Entertainment seems to be more inclined to the development of "Jurassic Park", even if it is to suppress the DC movie universe, it is totally worth it.

Not only that, when "Jurassic Park" came out at the first weekend box office, Daenerys Entertainment executives had already revealed the sequel development plan.

The planning of this phenomenal dinosaur movie was a trilogy from the beginning.

In an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter", the film's heroine Renee Russell also proved that she originally signed a trilogy contract, and also revealed some insider interests that are more interesting to fans. If the DC movie universe is the same, Simon Westeros planned the plot of the trilogy from the beginning.

Although Steven Spielberg later said in the media that his next work focus is to complete the "Schindler's List" project, it seems that he is not so focused on directing the sequel of "Jurassic Park", However, with Simon Westero himself, no one would doubt that the "Jurassic Park" series would be unsustainable without Spielberg.

Even, some media criticized that "Jurassic Park" is not so perfect. The plot of the film is too routine, and it seems too blunt to rely on the scream of a little girl to advance the plot.If Spielberg gave up directing, the sequel was helmed by Simon Westero, the quality may be higher.

For traditional Hollywood big film companies, a big trilogy is often enough to eat for ten years.Just like Paramount’s 1980s series of "Avatar", Universal's "Back to the Future" series and Columbia Pictures' "Ghostbusters" series.

"Jurassic Park" such as the local box office of 300 million starting blockbuster project, not to mention three, even this one, through the global box office, video sales, television broadcasting and peripheral development of this entire operation, it is enough for a big movie The company has been eating for five years.

Relying on such a blockbuster to make a base, coupled with the fact that Daenerys Entertainment has occupied a large number of places on the box office list in recent years, the question now is whether Daenerys should re-target with Time Warner. The distribution of interests in the DC movie universe has been negotiated.
