Chapter 879 New Investment Direction

Even when psychological preparations were made, when Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice began to be released at the box office, many people felt dumbfounded.

On December 22, the first day of large-scale painting, the morning night show, the amount of 35.27 million US dollars.

On Saturday, December 23, 37.69 million USD was credited.

On December 24, Sunday, due to Christmas Eve, the box office shrank significantly, still reaching 23.91 million US dollars in a single day.

In the first three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office reached 96.87 million US dollars.

Almost 100 million!

On December 25, Christmas Day, although it was Monday, due to statutory holidays, the box office rebounded sharply again, with a single day receipt of $31.78 million.

On Tuesday, December 26, we returned to the working day and received 16.69 million USD.

On Wednesday, December 27th, 16.31 million USD was credited.

On Thursday, December 28th, USD 15.51 million was received.

According to the final statistics, from December 22 to December 28, in the first week of release, "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" reached a cumulative box office of US$17.16 million.

In the first week of US$17.16 million, the first-week box office record of US$129.13 million just created by this summer's "Jurassic Park 2" was raised by nearly US$50 million in one fell swoop.

With an average of 3,443 screens, the pavilion also reached $51,400 in the first week.

Among them, the highly watched IMAX theater, which has a total of 26 screens, also contributed $5.73 million at the box office for "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" in the first seven days of the week. Not many, however, the IMAX screen museums are up to 220,000 US dollars.

For a week, a total of 2 Lumax IMAX theaters across North America were completely in short supply.

Therefore, it is not hard to imagine that if the number of IMAX screens in "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is increased to an objective number, even if it is only 100, this part of the theater is expected to achieve a box office of $20 million for a movie in a single week.For many blockbuster movies, the box office at the first week may not reach US$20 million.

Even Daenerys and Time Warner didn’t expect the box office of Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice to reach this level in the first week. Prior to this, the announcement teams of the two companies once gave The best forecast is probably only about 150 million US dollars in the first week.

As long as this number can be reached, the total box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" in North America is very promising to hit the $500 million mark.

Now, in the first week of $177 million, it is hard to imagine where the total box office of the DC movie universe super blockbuster will eventually go. Perhaps, the local 600 million is not impossible.Moreover, just a staged assembly of the DC superhero universe, the box office can be as high as this. What will be the future of "Justice League"?

Affected by the powerful impact of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice", the other films of Christmas Week can be described as mourning.

The 3D animated film "Beauty and the Beast", which has been in the average of the weekly box office since the release of the Thanksgiving season, was released in the sixth week. The box office fell by 46% in a single week, creating the largest weekly drop since the opening of the painting. The box office also slashed from 11.21 million US dollars last week to 11.43 million US dollars.

Six weeks after its release, "Beauty and the Beast" had a cumulative box office of US$21.197 million.

Considering that the single-week box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" exceeded expectations, and may continue to remain strong later, "Beauty and the Beast" weekly box office is almost cut, it is likely that even Daenerys Entertainment's estimated 250 million No dollar can be reached.

This is already the case with "Beauty and the Beast" in the second place. Forrest Whitaker, the third in the list, directed "To Stay Awake", and the box office fell by 43% the next week, with a total of 10.81 million US dollars.

This black theme drama,

Later, films such as "The New Dragon and Phoenix" starring Harrison Ford and "Vampires are also crazy" starring Leslie Nielsen are completely worthless.

December 29.

A new box office week opens.

Speaking of it, if not all kinds of publicity investment have been smashed, many films have the urge to temporarily withdraw files.

The first is Catherine Bigelow's new film "Detroit". This film about the riots in Detroit at the end of 1967 was completed last year. It eventually cost $30 million and is of medium production level.Because of the personal relationship between the two, Simon began to participate from the script stage, has been personally watching until the post-editing is completed, and put the film at the end of this year, trying to win some nominations for Catherine.

However, although the film's filming effect is good, it is undeniable that the theme of this film is really not flattering.Any country has a past that it doesn’t like to be revealed, let alone a very sensitive black riot.

In any case, the film was successfully released.

As a small-scale on-demand film, the number of open screens is 63.

Another real story-changing "Death Walk" was completed by the tentative film team that produced "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Blood Romeo". Simon collected this film company two years ago.

In addition to the two prize-winning films of Daenerys Entertainment, there are three other movie films, "Georgia", "Crossing Love" and "Richard III", in addition to "Crossing Love" by Michael Sundance Directed by Hoffman, the other two are not worth mentioning.

year 1996.

Unconsciously, the new year has arrived in the carnival of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" by global fans.

Australia.

Within the territory of the Westeros family in northwestern Tasmania.

The time is already Saturday, January 6, 1996.

After Christmas, the Simons departed from Los Angeles to Melbourne, spent the New Year with the Johnstons, and quietly came to Tasmania, where the Westeros family’s private territory has continued to expand, two days before. island.

Over the years, more than one-third of the land on the big island in southeastern Australia has been bought by Simon, with a total area of ​​23,000 square kilometers, equivalent to more than 5 million acres.In order to stretch these private territories, the Westeros family has also invested heavily in closing many mining farms and wood factories mainly between the grasslands, hills and mountains of western Tasmania, and also provided high subsidies to the territories. The residents inside will be relocated as a whole.

Because of Simon's continued private buying behavior, around Tasmania, even a variety of rumors and conspiracy theories were born.

This makes this big island located in the south of the earth more and more an adventure destination for travelers from all over the world.

Moreover, many people still hope to enter the Westeros family's private territory, which has caused a lot of crises, and many times the Westeros family has to activate the maintenance team here for search and rescue.

For Tasmania, Simon's initial thought was to have a large, large private territory away from the secular crowd.

In addition, there are some layouts for the future.

Simon has always been a pessimist. The higher he stands, the more pessimistic Simon is about the prospects of mankind.Therefore, if a certain future will inevitably appear, Simon hopes that his family will have a place to avoid the world.This is undoubtedly the most suitable for Tasmania.This big island is not only located in the extreme south of the earth, but also the entire Australian continent as a barrier.

If the world is turbulent, this is undoubtedly the least vulnerable area.

In a manor bordering the forest and the pasture.

Simon and Janet sat under the broad porch north of the country-style villa in the manor, enjoying the sunset in the southern hemisphere during the summer evening, while personally taking care of the two youngest children of Greenwich and Snow, while watching Jennifer take another Three little guys are playing on the wide grass around.

Put the little Snow who just woke up and woke up and fell asleep in his arms back into the baby cradle. Janet went back to Simon and looked at the thick pile of information that was being turned through in the hands of the man. The next step is to enter the medical industry, it will certainly not be too easy. The medical industry is actually subject to great government regulation, and the pattern in this field seems to have been determined for a long time. It is unlikely that there will be too large a change. If If we kill in, we will probably be attacked by the group."

After the announcement some time ago, Westeros has completed the first reduction of shares in Daenerys Entertainment, and similar operations will continue in the future.

The tens of billions of dollars of cash that is expected to be recovered will definitely need to be reinvested.

Entering the medical industry is a major direction Simon is considering during this time.

Let's not talk about other countries. What is the most profitable industry in the United States?

Many people think of military industry or finance in the first place.

In fact, it should be medical.

The high medical cost in the United States is world-renowned, and it is not ordinary high, but a kind of abnormal high. It takes eight thousand to see a cold. This line in Simon's memory seems to be a joke, but in the United States, it is It's true, and it's not the fees of those noble clinics, or the cost of a cold for many ordinary people.

At its peak, the US medical expenditure accounted for 20% of the GPD, compared to the US defense spending is less than 5% of GDP, so it can be seen that the huge benefits contained therein.

The Westeros system wants to continue to expand, and it is to expand substantially. The next step, to enter the medical industry, is almost an inevitable.
