Hollywood Hunter

On June 19, the third week of the release of "Wonder Woman", three new heavyweight films were released again in North American theaters, namely Daenerys and Paramount's "Peachy Deal" and Fox's "Alien 3" "And Disney's 2D animated film "Aladdin".

As the main projects of various studios, the opening screens of the three films have exceeded 2,000 yuan, with 2,219 yuan for "Peachy Trade", 2,381 yuan for "Alien 3", and 2,137 yuan for "Aladdin".

The opening of the three new films inevitably formed a sniper on "Wonder Woman."

However, this female superhero movie also unleashed its box office potential during the loose schedule of the previous two weeks. Faced with the impact of three new films, the box office drop in the third week of its release expanded to 37%, but it still won 43.16 million. The US dollar continues to maintain the top position on the weekly list.

At the same time, after last week’s release, the cumulative box office of "Wonder Woman" also broke through the 200 million U.S. dollar mark, reaching 202.67 million U.S. dollars.

Relying on the starring cast of Robert Redford and'Catwoman' Valerie Galino and the controversial topic of whether $1 million is willing to transfer his wife, "Peachy Deal" reached $32.27 million at the box office in the first week of its painting, ranking top Second place.

Disney's 2D animated film "Aladdin" ranked third, with a box office of $29.63 million in the first week, which also exceeded Disney's expectations.

The production cost of this animated film is only 28 million US dollars.

Fox’s $50 million "Alien 3" had a box office of $26.84 million in its first week, ranking fourth on the weekly box office list.

The start of "Alien 3" is not low. However, the reputation of this sequel is somewhat broken. The media score is only 4.3 points. The box office of the first week is basically supported by the popularity of the Alien series and the early announcements. After the first week, the industry generally predicted that the movie's box office would plummet the next week.

Further on, Disney's "Nuns Are Crazy" ranked fifth. In the fifth week of its release, this dark horse comedy starring Ubi Goldberg continued to receive 7.61 million US dollars, with a total box office of 71.31 million US dollars.

Faced with the impact of the still strong "Wonder Woman" and three new films, from June 19th to June 25th, "Nuns Are Crazy" saw a one-week box office drop of only 11%. Therefore, although the weekly box office volume is only more than 7 million US dollars, this black comedy is still expected to break through the 100 million yuan mark with its outstanding long-term trend.

Simon's "Nuns Are Crazy" has a total North American box office of more than 130 million US dollars.

This time, because of the strong impact of "Wonder Woman", although the total North American box office of "Nun Crazy" is still expected to exceed 100 million, it is difficult to exceed 110 million US dollars, and the scale of shrinkage exceeds 20 million US dollars.

The sixth week of the release of "Deadly Weapon 3", this week's box office was 6.85 million US dollars, ranking sixth, with a cumulative box office of 124.06 million US dollars.

Because of the earlier opening of the painting, "Lathal Weapon 3" was less affected by "Wonder Woman". The total box office in North America is still expected to hit $140 million in original time and space.

Tom Cruise starred in the US$60 million "Earth Ambition". In the fourth week of its release, the box office has only left 4.63 million US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 35.61 million US dollars.

Because the attendance rate continues to fall, in the new week, the scale of screens, which has been declining, is due to the expiration of most theater screening contracts. Half of the screens are directly withdrawn. Only 1135 screens are left. Million US dollars, stop at 50 million US dollars.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that "Teenage Ninja Turtles 2", which was previously released during the Easter schedule, ended June 25, and was released for exactly 10 weeks.

Because of the popcorn attribute of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, this sequel began to shrink the canvas from the fourth week of its release. When the painting of "Wonder Woman" was opened on June 5, the canvases of "Teenage Ninja Turtles 2" in mainstream theaters were basically transferred to this superhero movie, leaving only two or three hundred screens in remote theaters. In theaters.

In the week from June 19th to June 25th, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" relied on 263 screens to continue to earn 290,000 U.S. dollars, with a total box office of 111.17 million U.S.

It can be said that in the next few weeks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 will be completely drawn, and the total box office in North America is basically fixed at $113 million. For an animated popcorn film sequel, such box office results have been very successful.

San Francisco Bay.

Inside the villa in the Woodside Hills west of Palo Alto.

The time is Saturday, June 27.

I have been participating in the affairs of several technology companies here on Thursday and Friday. I worked until 7 o'clock in the evening yesterday and attended a dinner with several senior executives from Igreat, and never returned to Los Angeles.

Opening his eyes early in the morning, Jennifer Reybled felt the breath of the man behind him pounce on his neck, his waist was tightly hugged by a powerful arm, and he subconsciously pressed a post behind him.

So I felt the man's unique swords drawn in the morning, and his face was a little red.

The light from the curtains showed that the sky was already lit, and he reached out an arm to catch the watch on the bedside table and glanced at it at 6:55.

Some reluctant to give up, but also know it is time to get up.

After several body movements, Simon inevitably woke up, wrapped the female assistant in his arms, kissed the **** the neck, and whispered, "Morning, baby."

"early."

I really like his tone every time he calls her baby (Honey) at random, it's really sweet.

I'm just as embarrassed to respond this way, and I'm still a little curious, how he called Janet in private, it's also "Honey" or "baby", it should not be "Darling", it's too formal.

I want to ask, but I am afraid that he will think he is arguing.

Thinking so wildly, the hand that originally held her was swimming around her at will. Feeling that her body is getting hotter and hotter, she almost gave up on herself. Finally she endured, "It's time to get up."

"Ok."

The man pretended to be weak. She couldn't help bending her mouth, pulling his arm over, and kissing the man's back, saying, "You can sleep for another 15 minutes. I'll get up first and prepare breakfast for you. "

"I was very tired last night, I think it would be more appropriate to sleep for another half an hour."

"You are a man, you can't be lazier than a woman."

After such a bargain, the man finally let go, and the female assistant began to get out of bed, put on clothes, and wash.

When they went downstairs, Zoe Parkes and Isabel Dunn, who came with them, had already got up. Knowing Jennifer's habits, the two women simply confessed that the breakfast ingredients and today's newspaper were ready, and then disappeared.

Simon did not stay in bed for half an hour, and soon got up after the female assistant got out of bed.

Habitually ran a few kilometers in the morning in the fresh air of Woodside, and met Larry Ellison as usual. Since meeting in this mountain trail last year, Simon has come to San Francisco many times and was able to meet each other during morning jogs. This late bloomer Oracle founder is really good at managing contacts in such subtle places.

After a painful adjustment, Oracle has already survived last year's crisis. The Internet industry's early outbreak of the east wind has made this database company even more powerful.

Most professional Internet sites require databases.

Moreover, because Westeros continues to buy 25% of Oracle’s holdings, Eaglet is also more inclined to adapt to Oracle’s software in the process of developing World Wide Web technology.

It didn’t touch on any substantive topics. The two jogged and chatted. Simon returned to his villa, took a shower and changed clothes. The female assistant had already prepared breakfast, and also the newspaper he was used to reading at breakfast and yesterday’s Box office reports for North American theaters are also on the table.

In the new box office week that opened yesterday, two new films were released again, namely "Killing Hour" by Daenerys and MGM and "Two-faced Girl" produced by Columbia Pictures.

The female assistant watched Simon flipping through yesterday's box office report, and while serving sweet soup to the man, said: "Only $4.79 million on the first day, it seems to be low."

Naturally speaking here is "Moment of Killing".

Compared to the original version, the new version of "Killing Hour" starring Nicholas Cage, Sandra Bullock and Samuel Jackson, the story is similar to the original version in Simon’s memory, and it is also adapted from a John Grimson novel. A crime drama film involving racial discrimination and judicial justice.

The first day is 4.79 million US dollars, and the box office in the first week should be between 20 million and 25 million US dollars.

This kind of opening box office, let alone "Wonder Woman" and "Deadly Weapon 3", is not as good as last week's "Peachy Deal".

However, Simon has no worries, saying: "The key is to see the decline next week. The box office curve pursued by "Killing Hour" should be comparable to Harrison Ford's "Presumption of Innocence."

"Presumed Innocence" two years ago, the box office in the first week was only over 10 million US dollars, but because of the strong follow-up trend, the total North American box office of this film continued to break the studio's expectations and eventually exceeded 80 million US dollars.

In comparison, "Moment of Killing", which has a similar genre, has a box office of 20-25 million U.S. dollars, which is already very good.

After "Wonder Woman" at the beginning of the month, no blockbuster film was released after this summer. The word-of-mouth of "Killing Hour" has also been recognized by the critics, and the follow-up long-term trend is definitely not a problem.

After staying with Simon for so long, Jennifer knows these things too, but habitually feels that the projects he personally lead should be better at the box office.

After having breakfast while chatting so casually, the two flew to Chicago together in the morning.

For the "Home Alone 2" thing.

The sequel to this phenomenon-level children's comedy, which will be released at the end of the year, has basically completed its later stage.

Simon gave complete control of the "Home Alone" series to John Hughes. Hughes's film company is in Chicago. Most of the filmmaker's films are also shot and post-production in Chicago.

Although it was possible for Hughes to send the film to Los Angeles, Simon did not do so, but rushed over in person.

After watching the movie, I can fly to Toronto to go shopping. Unlike Los Angeles and San Francisco, where there are always a lot of eyes fixed on the need to pay attention, in these infrequent cities, as long as you keep a low profile, you won't be caught by anyone.

And so on until Sunday evening, returning to Los Angeles, and then another week of work.

The purchase of LTD company has been basically decided recently, and the plan of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is also advancing rapidly.

In the fixed schedule, the Victoria's Secret Show will be held in early November and will be broadcast on the TV network in mid-November, before the end of the consumer season.

Because it was a project led by Simon himself, all four major television networks in North America showed interest in this fashion show.

After several bidding negotiations, ABC Television Network bought the TV broadcast rights for this big show at a high price of US$5 million.

Although the price of $5 million includes the premiere and the right to replay a total of 10 times in the next 5 years, the transaction price still makes Leslie Wexner amazed by Simon's influence.

The budget for the entire show was only 10 million U.S. dollars, and ABC directly took out half of it. Knowing that, LTD did not need to transfer half of the copyright of this show to Daenerys Entertainment. However, Wexner also understands that without the participation of Daenerys Entertainment and the leadership of Simon Westeros, ABC would certainly not offer such a high price.

Forty Victoria's Secret Angels participating in the catwalk and five Victoria's Secret Angel spokespersons have also become the focus of the recent model circle competition.

The forty-person catwalk team seems to be quite large, and it seems insignificant in the entire model circle. There are almost no barriers to entry in the modeling industry. As long as there is a decent skin bag, you can basically enter the industry. However, there are very few who can really climb to the top.

The several supermodels that have gained fame over the years, Cindy Crawford, Linda Ivangolinsta, Claudia Schiffer, etc., have all made their way to the top is full of luck.

The Victoria’s Secret show has just been exposed and attracted strong media attention. Both the major model agencies in North America and Europe have realized that compared with the top luxury brands that are like the famous brand but the show’s exposure rate is not high after all, this time, Simon · Westeros will lead the lingerie fashion show that will be broadcast on TV, which will become a very rare exposure platform.

A model wants to be in position, whether it is going to gossip with a star singer, or logging on the cover of a fashion magazine, or participating in a top brand catwalk, in the final analysis, what he seeks is exposure.

Many luxury brands always give the general public a very cold feeling, but in fact, these brands, whether it is catwalks or endorsements, will only choose well-known models. This is evident from many luxury brands competing to hire ITGirl or Internet celebrities to participate in the catwalk after many years.

In particular, Internet celebrities may not have a high style at all, but this group has tens of millions of fans and has an exposure rate that ordinary supermodels cannot match.

Therefore, major model agency companies have recently used various relationships to hope to send their own models to the forty Victoria's Secret Angels. As for the more popular five angel spokespersons, whether they are the top supermodels that have become famous, or the emerging newcomers, they are all watching closely.
