The news of Robert Ludlum’s death gave The Bourne Supremacy the boost it needed to collect more tickets.
Out of curiosity, people who knew nothing about Robert Ludlum and The Bourne Supremacy decided to follow the crowd and see the movie.
It was a good thing that The Bourne Supremacy was a great movie. The audience has no problem because the movie entertained them.
Even the critics, who are slowly losing their jobs because of the Internet and bloggers, praised the movie. To be precise, they praised Robert Ludlum, who was a veteran writer.
Critics write for a living, and they respect their fellow writers. So they obviously support Robert Ludlum’s work.
Even the novels started to attract readers again after so many decades. The Jason Bourne series (novels) started appearing in bookstores.
Two weeks after Robert Ludlum’s death, the box office of The Bourne Supremacy made more money.
On July 18(Thursday). The North American box office for The Bourne Supremacy was already $160.45 million.
The production cost of the movie was $75 million and it easily recouped the investment. And that was just in North America.
If a movie does well in North America, it usually does well internationally. Sometimes even more than the North American box office.
Stella Willow worked with 20th Century Fox to achieve this promotion.
Kazir admitted that the woman was talented and deserved the position. Once Grey Pictures had a board of directors, Kazir would make sure that Stella got the CEO position because she deserved it.
“Babe, are you ready?”
Angelina entered the room and found Kazir struggling with his tie. She smiled gently and helped him.
“All right, looks better.” She said after fixing his tie. Then she looked at her boyfriend, who was taller than her.
The atmosphere between them was hot, or so they thought, because they both felt it.
Angelina wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Her lipstick smeared Kazir’s lips before they pulled apart.
“Let’s go… Or we might not make it.”
She hinted that both of them could stay in the house all night if they did something more.
Kazir chuckled and followed suit, seeing that Angelina was blushing so much that even her blush-on seemed non-existent.
Angelina and Kazir were invited to attend Meet The Fockers, the sequel to Meet The Parents. A comedy Kazir wrote himself.
Actually, only Kazir was invited by Paramount, but Kazir was allowed to bring another person. As if Paramount would say no to Angelina Jolie.
After all, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days was also invested by Paramount and it would be good promotion for the movie if Angelina showed up.
Another thing was that Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was produced by Paramount and they have no problem with Angelina supporting their movies.
The only way to stay relevant in this industry was to be remembered by the audience. As long as the actor/actress was famous, jobs would keep coming their way.
For this premiere, Kazir decided to use his Mercedes Benz. Yes, the famous director, who was known for being cheap, bought a Mercedes Benz two years ago and it became his go-to car since then.
His Honda was still in his garage but he rarely used it. However, he still cherishes it.
The driver of the car was Erica, who worked overtime just for this premiere.
Angelina and Kazir rekindled their love and it seemed that their relationship was stronger, Erica was happy for her boss.
A happy boss means a happy bonus, right?
Anyway, the couple had a playful time in the car while Erica kept her eyes on the road… She had to be professional and do her job.
The car reached its destination and followed the line to the red carpet. Kazir and Angelina were not part of the cast, but Kazir was the scriptwriter, so he had the privilege of walking the red carpet… He was also famous.
No big things happened this time, just the usual red carpet. Summer season was usually the time when a lot of blockbuster movies were released. So this was the busiest time in Hollywood.
Kazir was not shocked that he had to attend a lot of movies premieres during this time. In fact, he also had to attend the premiere of Mr. And Mrs. Smith, which opens in theaters on August 7.
After some hustle and bustle, the two found their way into the theater holding hands.
Some of the cast of Meet The Fockers like Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller were already in the theater.
As for Brianna Evans, the film’s female lead, she did not appear to be in the theater yet.
A few minutes later, Kazir saw Brianna and Salvatore walking into the theater together.
Kazir smiled at first before realizing that something was wrong. The expressions on their faces were strange.
Salvatore seemed concerned and serious.
As for Brianna… She was cold, no, she seemed like a psychopath. Kazir could not explain it well, but the aura around the actress was cold and indifferent.
Salvatore saw Kazir and immediately spoke to him, sweating a little.
“What’s going on?” Kazir asked curiously. Kazir knew that Brianna was a method actor, and she could get so deep into her character that she becomes the character.
“How should I put it… Brianna was interested in a script and said she wanted the leading role. I was against it because it didn’t fit her current image. But I couldn’t stop her from doing what she wanted, so in the end I agreed. This is the result.” Salvatore sighed.
“What’s the name of the movie?”
“Monster. The director is Patty Jenkins.”
Monster. A movie based on a true story. It was about a prostitute serial killer who murdered seven men…
