In this era, a large-scale investment in a large-scale production of the film wants to obtain more than 200 million US dollars in the North American box office. As long as the box office explodes in the first weekend, it is basically not too difficult to do, but the North American box office exceeds the 300 million US dollar mark. The weekend explosion is not enough, but a healthy and stable trend should be drawn for at least two to three weeks.

In the 80s and 90s of the last world, for Hollywood movies, the box office of 100 million US dollars was basically a watershed, but since "Titanic", major investment and production has become the norm for mainstream Hollywood commercial movies. Movies with a box office of over 100 million U.S. dollars are not to mention a lot of them, but they are also not a few. The box office boom is undoubtedly a correspondingly higher standard.

Both Murphy, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have high expectations for the box office performance of Man of Steel.

Just like the box office explosion in the first weekend, "Man of Steel" did not disappoint them at the box office next weekend. Although the attendance rate was declining due to the massive consumption of fans, the box office drop in the second weekend was still controlled. Within 60%, compared with the 143.2 million US dollars in the first weekend, the decline was only 56%, and it was reported to receive 63 million US dollars in three days.

So far, "Man of Steel" has been released in North America for ten days. With a nearly crazy momentum, it has taken away $287.4 million from 4,250 theaters!

There is hardly any suspense. The North American box office of this film has surpassed "Spider-Man 3", which was screened for two weeks in the morning, and temporarily stood at the first place in the 2007 North American box office list!

In the first four days of the following week, "Man of Steel" slowed down its money collection, but it also earned $24.5 million in four working days.

Following the third weekend of "Man of Steel", North America ushered in the memorial day schedule, and Walt Disney's heavily invested masterpiece "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" was officially released.

This series has a large number of fans and has had a considerable impact on the films that have been released. "Man of Steel" is no exception. This weekend, it has fallen by as much as 60%, and finally received $25.2 million.

With the addition of the US$24.5 million earned in the previous four working days, the North American box office of "Man of Steel" has reached a cumulative total of US$337.1 million.

There is no doubt that "Man of Steel" will inevitably become Murphy's most successful commercial film.

After more than ten days of busy work, Murphy also ended the North American promotion of the film and returned to Los Angeles.

Originally, he and Gal Gadot wanted to convene a party at home, inviting friends such as James Franco, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Logan, Jonah Hill and Carla Faith to gather. We got together, but other members of Stanton’s party, because Seth Rogen discovered a shortcoming in post-production, they all went to Las Vegas to make up some shots for "The Hangover", and Murphy only invited it. Carla Faith is alone.

In addition, Gal Gadot also invited her little friend Margot Robbie over.

After lunch together, Murphy invited a few people to the back garden to have afternoon tea and chat.

"I watched the first two episodes that have already aired in the second season."

Filling the three women with black tea, Murphy poured herself another cup of coffee, and said to Margot Robbie, "You performed very well, and you have improved a lot from the first season."

"Thank you." As she gets older, the temperament of an Australian cowgirl in Margot Robbie is hard to see. She first replied politely, and then sighed again, "Sansa- Stark is still a fool, when will this character become smarter."

Hearing this, Murphy and Carla Faith, who was sitting across from each other, couldn't help laughing.

Gal Gadot shook his head and reminded, "Maggie, in the complex environment of King's Landing City, can Sansa Stark survive without pretending to be a fool?"

Margot Robbie replied immediately, "Of course not."

"So," Gal Gadot also laughed, "She's not stupid at all."

Margot Robbie thought for a while, and finally nodded slightly, confirming Gal Gadot's statement.

After a sip of coffee, Murphy turned to Carla Faith, "How's the ratings for these two episodes?"

"Not bad, the first broadcast exceeded 5 million viewers." Carla Faith was obviously satisfied with the ratings. "Although there are a few critics, Paul Wilson did a very good job, better than I expected. ."

"His ability is not a problem." Since Murphy chose Paul Wilson, of course he recognized him, "mainly lack of experience."

Kara Feith nodded, "Experience is accumulated, I believe he will do better in the third season."

For this, Murphy has enough confidence.

After a year of filming and production, the second season of "Game of Thrones" was broadcast on Fox Cable Network two weeks ago. Because of the busy promotion of "Man of Steel", Murphy did not participate in the work of this project. , But the results of the second season are quite good, and the accumulated fans are getting more and more.

This fantasy TV series is bound to become a long-term profit tool for Stanton Studios.

As for Paul Wilson, it’s probably the first time he has been in charge of a project independently. He was very happy in the second season and has decided to continue directing the third and fourth seasons. Murphy does not need to do this for the time being. The director of the series is worried.

"I heard Bill say," Carla Faith looked at the swimming pool next to the garden and suddenly changed the subject. "Are you ready to change accommodation?"

"The house lease contract here expires at the end of the year." Murphy pointed to his backyard, "I am not going to continue to renew the lease contract."

Carla Faith asked concerned, "Did you find a suitable house?"

"I am optimistic about a manor in Beverly Hills." Murphy refilled a few people with tea. "The owner of the manor deliberately sold it last year, but it has been dragging until now, according to Grace provided. News, the auction process may be entered in the second half of the year, and I am ready to participate in the bidding."

He shrugged, "Fortunately, it was delayed until this year, otherwise I would not be able to spend so much money."

"Oh?" Carla Faith came interested and asked, "What is the estimated price of the real estate agent?"

Gal Gadot said, "The transaction price should not be less than 100 million US dollars."

Murphy nodded. If it is an ordinary property, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to buy it after two years. However, the number of giant estates in Beverly Hills is limited and they are all sought-after goods. There is never a shortage of buyers, if it is not the homeowner because He has been delayed due to family reasons, and he hasn't even got the chance to enter the bidding.

A one-million-dollar real estate is undoubtedly a little extravagant, but Murphy turned his head and glanced at Gal Gadot. Naturally, such a manor had other uses.

"You have to work hard to make money." Carla Faith teased him.

Murphy smiled and said, "I have been working very hard."

In order to make money, Murphy stayed in Los Angeles for a few days, then flew to the other side of the Atlantic and came to the Kingdom of Great Britain to participate in the European premiere of "Man of Steel".

Perhaps "Superman Returns" was hit too hard, or perhaps because he had enough confidence in Murphy, "Man of Steel" was not released on a large scale in the global market at the same time. It was not until the North American box office and word-of-mouth both broke out that Warner Bros. The film was promoted to major overseas markets.

Due to the film's deep, serious, dark and heavy characteristics, "Man of Steel" has unanimously won unanimous praise from the media and professionals in Europe.

The mainstream media in Europe have praised the new take-off of the "New Superman".

"The Times" stated: "Murphy Stanton’s huge, magnificent movie full of details and serious themes not only caught the eye, but also promoted the development of this kind of film. In this dimension, it is difficult for us not to It bows its head and becomes a minister."

The French newspaper Le Figaro believes that Murphy Stanton has done a highly commendable work, and he wrote the entire "Superman" story twice. "

The famous German "Bild" commented: "The theme and story of the film have been perfectly expressed by Murphy Stanton, and the actors are equally outstanding, especially the Wonder Woman starred by Gal Gadot, which is very impressive. dizzy."

The Spanish "Marca" also praised Gal Gadot: "Gal Gadot is a very good choice, and the interpretation of Wonder Woman is convincing."

Judging from various reviews, "Man of Steel" is a movie full of personal charm and unique style.

The film's box office results in Europe are just as good as media reviews.

"Man of Steel" recorded US$18.9 million in the first weekend of the Kingdom of Great Britain. In other European markets that were released at the same time, France received US$14.75 million, Germany received US$16.74 million, and Spain received US$11.75 million...

At the same time, this film also appeared in theaters in many ticket warehouse markets outside of Europe. The first week's income in most regions was extremely bright, with Australia more than 12 million U.S. dollars, Brazil 7.8 million U.S. dollars, and Mexico 13.71 million U.S. dollars. Russia is over 8 million U.S. dollars...

This weekend, "Man of Steel" was simultaneously shown in theaters in 65 overseas countries and regions, with a total box office revenue of more than 221 million U.S. dollars.

With the addition of more than 27 million U.S. dollars earned in North American theaters in the new week, the global box office of "Man of Steel" has approached 600 million U.S. dollars!

At this time, both Wall Street and Warner Bros. have raised the film’s global box office forecast to one billion dollars.

These people have sharp eyes. "Man of Steel" has not yet entered many markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. There is still considerable market potential overseas. Although North America has passed the hottest stage, the number of theaters and film placement rates are in other markets. The impact of large-scale productions has been declining, but the decline has been extremely stable every week and day, and a considerable amount of box office revenue can be taken away in the future.

In the next week, Murphy led the crew to move to major cities in Europe. After the new weekend, as more overseas markets joined the screening of "Man of Steel", the global box office not only smoothly exceeded $600 million. The mark is slowly approaching 700 million US dollars.

After finishing the European propaganda work, Murphy did not return to North America. Instead, according to the contract, he and a part of the crew flew towards the film market that Hollywood identified as having great potential.
