Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1550: : Unstoppable
Simon returned to North America. After the lively Thanksgiving Day on November 25, the film schedule for the week-long cross-Thanksgiving Day in 1999 also came to an end.
From November 19th to November 25th, the most watched movie at the end of the year, “Steel Bones 2”, lived up to expectations.
In the first week of the painting, this super blockbuster with a total budget of 240 million U.S. dollars not only easily achieved the threshold of breaking 100 million yuan, but also went further. In the end, the box office reached 131.65 million U.S. dollars in seven days.
After the formation of the DC movie universe, Warner launched two separate series, “The Flash” and “Steel Bones”. Although Simon was invited to take charge, the box office has always been the lowest in the entire superhero series.
This time, “Steel Bones 2” started with 130 million. In addition to a normal outbreak under the further accumulation of popularity in the DC movie universe over the years, there is actually a Warner Bros’ own team gradually figuring out how to play the superhero project.
In fact, it is also simple and cross.
Whether it is a comic book fan or a passerby audience, just like ordinary consumers in other fields, they will always hope to see more superheroes in superhero movies.
Therefore, even for copyright reasons, this time “Steel Bones 2”, the Big Three did not appear in the film, but with the newly joined Neptune and Martian Hunter, the popularity of the film has been greatly increased, and further feedback to the box office.
Of course, the basis for increasing the amount is still the same quality.
In general, the success of “Steel Bones 2”, the high quality of the DC Movie Universe series, the newly joined characters, and the marketing efforts of Warner Bros. are indispensable.
Under the impact of “Steel Bones 2”, the trend of other films can be imagined.
The second place on the list is not last week’s title “007 Casino Royale”, but “Cars General Mobilization”.
The next week after the release, under the strong pressure of “Steel Bone 2”, “Cars 2” dropped as much as 37%. Considering that this is the most popular Thanksgiving Day, it once again demonstrated the strong impact of “Steel Bone 2” on the market. . The box office of “Cars General Mobilization” was US$40.01 million in the next week, and the cumulative total of the two weeks exceeded 100 million, reaching US$103.56 million.
Although it fell sharply the next week, it was expected to overtake “007 Casino Royale”.
Moreover, in the future, “007 Casino Royale” will face other new films in the subsequent Christmas files, which will only be more sluggish, but “Cars” can harvest the box office relatively stably, even if the start is not as good as “007 Casino Royale”, The total domestic box office is expected to exceed $200 million but there is no problem.
Furthermore, the surrounding areas of “Cars General Mobilization” are getting more and more attention, and the popularity, even “Steel 2”, can only be sighed with excitement.
The peripheral results of the DC Cinematic Universe series are of course good, but anyway, it’s really a comparison of movies, and it’s incomparable.
The third place is “007 Casino Royale”. Compared with “Racing Mobilization” because of the theme, it has a fairly good control of 37% of the weekly decline. The weekly box office also slipped to 36.8 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 111.91 million.
Although the local gross box office still surpasses “Cars General Mobilization”, the follow-up is no longer comparable.
The fourth-placed “Air Force One” dropped by 56%. The next week’s revenue was US$20.04 million and the cumulative box office was US$65.73 million. The trend is as expected. The local area is probably between 80 million and 100 million.
Immediately afterwards.
The box office of the fifth and sixth place films is quite close.
First is the fifth-placed “Genius Ripley”. In the third week of its release, it was hit by “Steel Bones 2”. It dropped 46% in a single week and collected another 10.78 million US dollars. Reached 63.54 million US dollars. Similar to “Air Force One”, the same box office range of 80 million to 100 million US dollars.
Of course, the cost of the two is 80 million and the other 30 million. Considering the difference in cost, it can be considered lonely.
The sixth place is “Ghost Sister”. In the fourth week of its release, after a 53% drop last week, even if it was impacted by “Steel Bones 2,” this week’s decline was relatively considerable, 37%, and another 9.17 million. U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 111.06 million U.S. dollars.
According to the current trend, the total box office volume in North America is estimated to be around US$130 million, coupled with the excellent feedback from the overseas released markets, this latest branch series of the Evocation Movie Universe can be considered very easy to stand up.
The last or possible US version of “Ghost Story of Female High School”, in the fifth week of its release, has only 2.32 million US dollars left in the box office for a single week, with a cumulative box office of 59.26 million US dollars.
The film is expected to close before the new wave of blockbusters is released on December 10th. The box office of 60 million dollars is quite substantial compared to the total cost of production and publicity of 15 million US dollars.
Not only that, according to the feedback from overseas markets that have already opened, the volume is expected to be comparable to that of the local market, and the global gross box office is expected to exceed 120 million U.S. dollars.
For a small film, the global box office exceeded 100 million, which is also a very impressive result.
After Thanksgiving on November 25th, the box office week immediately following, although no new films were released, but considering that this is the Thanksgiving weekend, most people are still resting. It is expected that the box office volume in the new week will be very impressive. .
For films such as “Steel Bones 2”, after this week, the box office volume in North America will be basically clear.
On Thanksgiving weekend, apart from the movie market, one of the most concerned things is undoubtedly the restart of the Victoria’s Secret show on November 27.
At the moment when the global warming trend has not yet appeared, at the end of November, the daytime temperature on the east coast of the United States was already below zero. On the Manhattan side, on November 27, it happened to be snowing. It was not too big, but it was undoubtedly snowing. Inconvenience caused by the schedule of activities.
The exception is near the Lexington Avenue Armory in Midtown Manhattan.
In order to occupy a better position, even a few days in advance, someone set up a tent near the Lexington Avenue Arsenal, and when Saturday arrived, starting from the morning, this side was completely blocked, Manhattan The police saw no results in coordinating the traffic, so they could only remind vehicles around the periphery to approach.
Because he is very obedient and capable and favored by Chen Qing Xiaoxiao, Yu Xiaomin, who was able to come to the United States to join in the excitement, was reminded by the team around him. He came here more than an hour in advance, but found that he was late.
In fact, it was mainly for discussing the project of exploring the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon. This is just by the way. The invitation letter can be regarded as Chen Qing’s reward.
This is five o’clock in the afternoon.
With short winter days and the surrounding steel jungle, night has risen near the arsenal.
I originally thought that the atmosphere was good on a snowy day, and I planned to take some photos on the periphery here and send them back to China. After all, it’s not easy to enter the venue if you want to take photos when you are in the draft.
However, looking at the hustle and bustle of the surrounding people, we should give up temporarily.
Did not give up.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when there is no one here, I still have to come over and make up a few photos. Anyway, the domestic will not notice such small details. The public only needs to see the title of “Yu Xiaomin attends the Victoria’s Secret Show”. .
Bringing two entourages along the narrow passage coordinated by the Victoria’s Secret team to the main entrance of the arsenal, Yu Xiaomin was attracted by the many raised signs at a glance. They were all the words asking for tickets, and some people directly marked the price. come out.
Looking at one of the signs with the VIP invitation letter for the entertainment party, the price of 30,000 US dollars on the sign, Yu Xiaomin almost wanted to be a scalper.
This is more than 200,000 yuan.
Before coming, Chen Qing gave her a VIP invitation letter for the show and party so lightly. At that time, she didn’t feel much, even if she checked it privately later, the official show ticket was US$1,000 and the VIP invitation was US$10,000. Moreover, the latter can only be applied for and not sold publicly. The official verifies whether an invitation letter will be given, that is, if you want to spend money, you may not be able to buy it. It depends on people.
However, at that time, I didn’t actually feel much.
It wasn’t until this time that the price of 30,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, made Yu Xiaomin truly realize how rare the invitation letter in his bag is.
At the door, only Yu Xiaomin was able to enter in the end, and the ticket and security check were also very strict.
Yu Xiaomin patiently cooperated with the inspection, but again couldn’t help but think again that the young blond girl holding the sign just now looks good in appearance and clothes, but it seems that she doesn’t seem to be the kind of person who can afford $30,000. .
What’s more, the VIP invitation letter is not subject to review. When she entered the door just now, because it was a VIP invitation letter, the ticket inspector also deliberately entered a number on the invitation letter, which seemed to be testing her identity.
Chen Qing must have greeted this matter, but it should not be so easy for others to transfer.
After thinking about it this way, after the entrance process, follow the leader here to the show hall. Seeing that she is a VIP invitation letter, she also said that she can go to the lounge and wait. Of course, Yu Xiaomin will not refuse.
In addition to watching the show, the more important thing tonight is communication.
Moreover, Yu Xiaomin also has another identity at the moment. It is not just a video blogger on the lure Tube platform from China, but also the latest documentary “Yarlung Zangbo River” that he had negotiated with Daenerys in Los Angeles a few days ago. The producer of “The Canyon”, um, Hollywood is called a producer, but they are all the same.
In short, this identity can be put to good use.
The rest room specially reserved for VIP customers is not large. Obviously, other people will not come here too early like Yu Xiaomin. After all, the big show starts at 7 o’clock in the evening, and there is more than one hour left.
Of course, it’s not without it.
For example, a former Golden Retriever real estate tycoon said the word “before” because the other party has completely left the real estate industry and was invited out of the real estate industry. At the moment, he is mainly engaged in media and entertainment, and occasionally publishes books. run over here.
Listening to the other party chatting with people, Yu Xiaomin learned that this person was watching her daughter’s show, and her tone was proud.
The two parties also talked a few words.
Yu Xiaomin didn’t mean to have in-depth contact, mainly because he felt that this person was very unreliable.
Besides, it’s also a little bit color.
Chen Qing reminded her more than once. She was very straightforward and asked her to “keep it” for a man. Yu Xiaomin had no resistance to this, because in the past few years, she has become more and more aware of Chen Qing’s presence in China. With the power of terror, and so on, the man behind Chen Qing is even more conceivable.
Finally, Yu Xiaomin and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the famous “VUGUE” magazine, had a very happy conversation.
After learning that Yu Xiaomin is not only a famous blogger on the Tube platform, he will also be responsible for the production of a documentary that is a sister of “Mount Everest”, which is still being released, and confirmed that the other party is not playing the law, Wintour I seized the opportunity quite sensitively and invited the other party to chat later, perhaps as an interview show.
Of course Yu Xiaomin would not refuse.
After socializing like this, occasionally noticed that Wintour brought in with an assistant who was cautiously and obviously looking forward to the next catwalk, Yu Xiaomin also probably understood a little question that was just puzzled.
Obviously, the person holding the placard outside the arsenal should also be an assistant, and probably it is not inflexible here, maybe it is to receive another review.
Anyway, these have nothing to do with her, a girl who is not counted on her own strength but can only be counted as accidentally breaking in through a certain backer.
Nearly seven o’clock, when the catwalk was about to start, everyone entered the show hall one after another, and Yu Xiaomin found another acquaintance, Jiang Anqi, from Hollywood, the heroine of “Hurricane Rescue”, and the same period of effort in the United States Jiang Anqi, one of the heroines of the martial arts masterpiece “Dragon Babu”, which has caused a good response, plays Murong Fu’s cousin Wang Yuyan.
Since I met, I must say hello.
Yu Xiaomin is only envious. This girl is so beautiful and has a temperament like water. Not only does it make the audience of the East and the West feel pity in the “Hurricane Rescue”, the role of Wang Yuyan also fits a lot more than those in Hong Kong. Moreover, it is inevitable that Jiang Anqi’s relationship with a certain big man is clearly determined.
Taking it a step further, Yu Xiaomin is a little bit looking forward to it, wondering if that big man will appear tonight.
It stands to reason not. After all, it was Thanksgiving a few days ago, and the other party should be in Los Angeles.
However, who can be sure of this kind of thing? After all, it’s a big man, with a distance of several thousand kilometers, there is a private plane, and it just flies, unlike ordinary people, who can’t get out several times in a lifetime.
