Made in Hollywood
Chapter eight hundred and seventy sixth what is going on
Amidst the heated discussions among the public, The Dark Knight Rises passed its second weekend after its release. Affected by a series of incidents, the film's second weekend box office fell by more than 50% compared with the first weekend, earning 86.57 million Dollar.
Although such a decline also exceeded Warner Bros.'s expectations before it was released, with the 135.42 million US dollars harvested in the previous five working days, the North American box office of The Dark Knight Rises successfully exceeded the 400 million US dollar mark, as high as 427.37 million US dollars. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
At the same time, the film has grossed another US$250 million overseas, and its cumulative global box office has already approached the US$1 billion mark, and it only takes one to two days to break the US$1 billion mark.
Various negative events have indeed had an impact on The Dark Knight Rises, but the momentum of the film is still amazing.
How much would The Dark Knight Rises do if there were no bad news? Would it be another Avenger?
Some media questioned that without the Santa Monica Plaza shooting, the North American box office of The Dark Knight Rises would have been stronger, but Duke didn't think the global box office would have significantly increased.
The reason is very simple. The North American market is mainly affected negatively, while overseas, The Dark Knight Rises has become more famous because of this, attracting more passer-by audiences to the theaters.
Despite CinemaScore's forecast, the final North American box office of The Dark Knight Rises is unlikely to exceed $600 million, and the global box office will stay between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, rather than the $1.5 billion that Warner Bros. expected. One can deny that even so, the film was a huge success.
This fact irritates a lot of people.
David Ellison, who has been jumping up and down behind the scenes and fanning the flames, is one of them, in the offices of Sky Film Studios. After seeing the latest box office report, he couldn't help scratching his hair, his expression clearly showing some annoyance.
While everything he's doing is clearly working, the box-office numbers don't hit Duke Rosenberg at all, and even make his behavior look a little ridiculous.
If it wasn't for some good news at the same time today, David? Ellison would really like to tear up this box office statistics.
Sent with box office statistics report. There are also several partnership deals Sky Studios has with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures.
After a long period of negotiations, coupled with the 2008 economic crisis, Hollywood has been facing a shortage of money, especially Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures' tight capital chain. Sky Film Studios finally negotiated with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures Reached an agreement on many conditions and became a partner.
According to the content of the agreement, Sky Film Studios has obtained the investment rights of the next three Star Trek series under Paramount Pictures. Different from ordinary investment, Sky Film Studio will receive half of the investment quota and enjoy all the benefits corresponding to the investment share.
On the other hand, Sky Film Studio, as David Ellison wished, has obtained the investment rights for the next four Fast and Furious series. Moreover, unlike Fast and Furious 5, the cash-strapped Universal Pictures basically agreed that Sky Studios has the same investment income rights.
In addition, David Ellison will also invest in the new Jurassic Park restarted by Universal Pictures, and the investment accounted for 50%.
He invested in a new installment of Jurassic Park. It also solved the urgent need of Universal Pictures.
All these make David Ellison feel better, after years of accumulation. He fully understands one thing, the risk of investing in so-called new ideas and new ideas is too great, the possibility of failure far exceeds success, and investing in the sequel of a successful series of movies. Just like Fast and Furious 5, the obvious return on investment ratio is higher.
David Ellison has also made up his mind that Sky Film Studios will never invest in those so-called creative films in the short term.
Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, David Ellison flipped through the documents about Alien Battlefield. He was worried that he would be cheated at the beginning, but after watching the movie, he still thought it might be a big hit.
This film is quite well-produced, and it is adapted from a well-known novel. It does not lack a fan base, and with enough publicity investment, it should be a success together...
Just when David Ellison was thinking this way, there was a hasty knock on the door. After David Ellison said something, his assistant opened the door and hurried in.
Boss! The assistant turned on the TV in the room and switched to CNN, There is a press conference about James Holmes, you'd better watch it.
Hearing what the assistant said, David Ellison closed the file and turned to look at the TV. It was the latest briefing on the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza Shooting Case and James Holmes by the Los Angeles Police.
On the TV screen, hundreds of reporters are focusing on Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Pace, and David Ellison is also staring at him, hoping that the other party can throw out more shocking content and attract the attention of the media Keep it up with The Dark Knight Rises.
What Lee Pace said did not disappoint David Ellison. The news revealed was absolutely shocking, and even David Ellison's expression changed drastically.
According to the police's interrogation and verification, the Vin Diesel car accident that happened last year was not an accident, but a deliberate murder. According to James Holmes, he was the direct perpetrator of that incident, and the truth behind the scenes fierce……
Not only David Ellison, but his assistant also didn't expect such content to appear in the press conference, and his mouth opened slightly in shock.
What's going on here? David Ellison fixed his angry eyes on the assistant, What's going on here?
I...I...I don't know. The assistant gently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, Boss, you said that we can't come forward in person for this kind of thing, and I handed it over to someone else. It is said that he is Find a poor, drunk...
In order not to involve himself in the matter, this kind of thing must have turned countless corners. The assistant thought that there are countless unemployed and homeless people in the United States, and some of them dare to do anything for money.
It just never occurred to me that things would involve James Holmes.
And this James? Holmes' mouth is too loose, isn't he imitating a clown? How can a person like this still call himself a clown?
David Ellison couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked back and forth twice, telling himself to stay calm. After all, there were too many turns in this kind of thing. Even if the police learned that Vin Diesel The car accident was not an accident, and it was impossible to find him.
Also, there is room for this kind of thing to work, as long as there is no chaos here, there is no need to worry too much.
Taking two deep breaths, David Ellison sat back behind the desk and told the assistant, You temporarily put down other work and follow up on this matter with all your strength.
The assistant nodded vigorously.
Get the latest news. David Ellison said again, I want to know where the case has progressed.
After the assistant left, David Ellison no longer had the intention to read the documents. He sat here thinking for a while, and rejected the idea of notifying his father immediately. After all, the matter was far from getting out of control.
The progress of the case announced by the Los Angeles police was like a bowl of cold water thrown into the waste oil, causing waves all over the sky. The focus of public opinion immediately turned to the Vin Diesel incident. It became the focus that the media couldn't compete for, and it also made The Dark Knight Rises gradually break away from the previous whirlpool of public opinion.
Any news or even gossip has its timeliness, and the media is always chasing the freshest news. Compared with James Holmes murdering Vin Diesel, The Dark Knight Rises and movie violence have already become a hot topic. It is difficult to arouse public attention again.
Don't relax.
In the Warner Studios office, Duke told Tina Fey, Urge Lee Pace and the police to continue the investigation.
They have tracked down a private detective. Tina Fey told Duke about the latest tension, Although they have received some pressure, the Los Angeles Police Department has no intention of stopping for the time being. They are looking for the private detective. I also think that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
Duke thought for a moment, then said, What about Vin Diesel's family?
No response for the time being. Tina Fey glanced through the information, Vin Diesel doesn't have a good relationship with his parents, and his parents don't care much about his life or death.
Where's Paloma Gimenez? Duke said, referring to Vin Diesel's abused girlfriend. Get her found and put pressure on the police.
Tina Fey nodded slightly, This is a very greedy woman, it's not difficult to convince her.
From now on... Duke raised the corner of his mouth slightly, We stand with Vin Diesel.
For the sake of profit, they once stood against Vin Diesel and vigorously discredited his reputation after his death; also for the sake of profit, they could also stand in the camp of Vin Diesel and urge the police to pursue this incident.
If it really has something to do with him, Tina Fey asked with some doubts, are we really going to send him to prison?
Sent to prison? Duke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, Why should he be sent to prison? Don't forget, with his and his father's wealth, it is enough to hire a huge team of lawyers. And send him What good is going to jail to us?
How could Duke waste so much effort on something that didn't have enough benefits?
After discussing for a few more words, Tina Fey left the office. She wanted to follow Duke's intention and keep a close eye on the reactions of all parties. (to be continued ~^~)
