North America.

In a box office week across New Year's Day, "Titanic" released in the third week officially replaced "Flash 2" and became the hot topic of attention in the film and television industry across the United States and even the world.

It is because of the movie's miraculous box office trend.

From December 26, 1997 to January 1, 1998, the box office week, "Titanic", which still achieved a 4% box office downturn in the next week, with the strong box office pressure of "Flash 2", fell again as the reputation and popularity fermented, and fell by 11%. In its third box office week, it successfully overturned the originally highly anticipated "Flash 2" to the ground. The single week's income ranged from US$62.35 million in the first week to US$63.94 million in the next week, and then to the third week, it directly counterattacked to US$70.92 million.

In three weeks, both Daenerys’ official and industry media have generally predicted that the ultra-high budget bombshell, which had a box office of only about $150 million, quickly reached $196.21 million.

It's about to break 200 million.

In comparison, the second week of "The Flash 2" was released, not only did it regrettably fail to exceed 100 million in the first week, but it also fell by "Titanic" the next week, and the single-week earnings quickly dropped to US$57.61 million. In two weeks of release, the cumulative box office was $155.49 million.

150 million in biweekly, which is a success for most other movies, but it is not satisfactory for "The Flash 2".

Since the box office week from December 26 to January 1 is still in a popular holiday period, before that, Warner Bros. expected the second week of "The Flash 2" to fall by only about 30%. Even if calculated based on the first week of $97.88 million, the next week should be around 70 million.

In general, in the face of the abnormality of "Titanic", "The Flash 2" released for two weeks has been suppressed and swallowed up at least $20 million in box office.

This is still a pretty conservative estimate.

Without "Titanic", it would be almost the Christmas season that "The Flash 2" dominates the company, and it has occupied the most popular schedule for two weeks. It is not impossible for this DC movie universe to exceed 200 million in the box office in the super heavy biweek.

Now, with the 150 million yuan gain in the two-week period, the subsequent impact of "Titanic" with unabashed popularity, not to mention that Warner's official initial hope of replicating the secret expectation of "Wonder Woman 2" that hit the 400 million box office last year, even the industry generally believes that the 300 million box office threshold may not be able to be overcome.

Such box office results will definitely not lose money, and you may even make a big profit. But for the ambitious Warner, it is a waste of cold water.

In particular, "Titanic" is also from Daenerys Entertainment.

Another expectation of Warner Bros. and even Time Warner parent company General Electric for "Flash 2" is to take back some initiative in the DC movie universe through this project.

The success of "Titanic" is simply a silent ridicule.

Daenerys doesn't rely on the DC movie universe, the "Jurassic Park" series, or even Pixar's 3D animation. Just making a bombshell can crush you to death.

Of course, several other major Hollywood studios would not laugh at Warner for this.

Warner Bros. at least, it still maintains a certain sense of presence under the crushing of "Titanic". What about the others?

It was just the Christmas season that started on December 12 last year. Whether it was MGM's "King of Fighting 2", Sony's "Fine Perfection" or "The Mouse Catcher" produced by Paramount, the box office data were not met by the crushing of two super bombs.

The market is only that big, two super bombs have chewed all the meat, and other videos can only drink soup, but they are still rushing to drink it.

Going further forward, "Shapes' Love History", which was originally planned to be the focus of Gaomen Pictures' 1998 awards season awards, was also quite embarrassing.

After the first week of pre-screening, the following three large-scale box office weeks were released. Since the popularity was occupied by "Titanic" and "The Flash 2", "Shapes' Love History" had almost no presence, and the cumulative box office in the four weeks of release was only 17.09 million US dollars.

For an awards season art film, this result is not a failure, because the production cost of the film is only 25 million.

The problem lies in the positioning of this project.

Award-winning film.

The typical operating strategy for winning awards is to continuously obtain various nominations and awards, including various union awards and association awards in the interim, from the time when the nominations for the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards were announced in December every year until the Oscars were held in March and April of the following year. It repeatedly stimulated the audience to buy tickets and enter the venue, forming a long-term trend, accumulating a small amount and gaining both box office awards.

At present, the phenomenon of reputation that counterattacked by "Titanic" and the reputation of winning 8 nominations directly with the Golden Globe Awards, you can imagine that in the following awards season, "Shapes Love History" will not be able to be used at all.

Or it is possible.

It is "Titanic" and "Shapes' Love History" from two companies. Then, the producers of "Shapes' Love History" can provoke various topic disputes. For example, "Titanic" is just a commercial film with lack of connotation. The box office is high, which does not mean that it is qualified to win awards, etc., so it can gain popularity.

Unfortunately, the two movies came from one of the other.

Even though Daenerys' current label structure, the two movies cannot be considered brothers, but they can only be said to be cousins, the company will not allow the "brothers' wall" to happen.

After all, the trend of "Titanic" is really good. If it can shine in the awards season again, it is very hopeful to create a box office miracle. In this case, "Shapes' Love History" can only give up, and Simon cannot approve the use of controversial marketing strategies that may affect the audience's impression of "Titanic".

Los Angeles.

It's Saturday, January 3rd.

After its release on January 2, "Titanic" earned $10.13 million in a single day, and its local box office successfully exceeded $200 million, reaching $206.34 million.

Daenerys also chose to hold a grand celebration party for the crew of "Titanic" this Saturday.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Linda Waggs, who easily got two invitations through Linda Waggs because of her relationship with someone, Linda Waggs, took Jessica Chastain to this long-famous mountain mansion on time, and stayed at the gate full of reporters for a while, making herself recognized as the female supporting actress of "Ghost Records" posing for a moment before the two women entered the mansion.

The celebration party said it started at 7 o'clock, but after entering the door, I found that many people had arrived in advance.

Still using her identity tag, Lena was able to go upstairs of the main villa to meet several bigwigs of Daenerys Entertainment who were chatting with him, greeted her a few words, and talked about "The Witch Blair".

Daenerys has begun to promote the official website of the "Witch Blair Incident", and this incident has gradually become a very popular supernatural event recently.

Not only that, the Sundance schedule for "Blair the Witch" has also been arranged.

This year's Sundance Film Festival will open on January 15 and last for 11 days until January 25.

To give Blair the Witch enough time to post the film will premiere on January 24, on Saturday, followed by a total of four media and audience screenings.

Moreover, Sundance is also quite consistent with the confidentiality marketing strategy here.

The 14th Sundance, which had announced the list of the main competition unit shortlists in early December last year, has announced only a video with only codenames. The codename of "Blair Witch" is "B Project", which is translated as "Project B" or "Project B", but for those who are familiar with the inside story, of course it is "The Blair Witch Project".

In fact, if you don't explain it, "B Project" is a movie title, there is no problem. Sundance official also explained it specifically. The film comes from New World Pictures, owned by Daenerys. The name is just a code name, and the official name and content are kept confidential, which has also caused heated discussions and even controversy.

The living room upstairs of the villa.

When Lina Kane talked about it, the few people who knew that this was the new favorite of her boss did not neglect. After all, this girl is quite likable and capable.

Danny Morris, president of New World Pictures, said: "The plan for online marketing of "Blair Witch" remains unchanged. We will increase the promotion next week. However, Lina, you must be mentally prepared. Now the focus of online platforms is on "Titanic", which will definitely have a great impact on the spread of the topic of "Blair Witch".

"It's a pity," Lina sat on the sofa beside the door with a respectful look. She sighed when she heard this, then smiled, "However, "Titanic" is a surprise. I've seen it three times during this period and learned a lot from the perspective of a filmmaker. I really look forward to seeing Mr. Cameron next."

The online platform virus marketing plan for "Blair Witch" was confirmed a year ago, and it is necessary to participate in Sundance. It is impossible to temporarily cancel it. Now we can only follow the steps.

Even the schedule in early February cannot be adjusted.

Because Daenerys's 1998 movie list has been arranged, it is almost a pit of crowding, unless "The Witch Blair" is willing to delay it until it is released next year.

If you do this, all the advance arrangements will be wasted.

Now, we can only do our best to let fate.

After chatting for a while, a staff member knocked in and reminded that James Cameron was here. Amy Pascal stood up and planned to welcome him. With the current momentum of "Titanic", the world's 1 billion is conservative, and Cameron deserves Amy to get up to greet him.

However, Danny Morris, Ella Deutchman and others who were also in this living room continued to sit.

There is no need to rush up all of it.

In the 1970s and 1980s, several popular Steven Spielberg or George Lucas might have allowed the executives of large studios to come out together. Now, at least for Daenerys Entertainment, its executives have enough confidence to face any filmmaker, whether a big director or a big star, and do not need all kinds of pleasing and pleasing in the early years.

Even if it is "Titanic", everyone has recently felt that if it weren't for the fact that their boss had been almost indulging in this project two years, there would probably be no box office miracle of this movie at this time.

Therefore, as this project became more successful, everyone admired it even more, but the boss who was still in Australia at this time.

This is the vision.

Lena did not continue to stay like Morris and others, but fell slightly behind Amy and took Jessica downstairs.

Then I saw a picture of stars arching against the moon.

On the backyard lawn of the mansion, under the bright lights in the night, there was a large circle of people around James Cameron who had just arrived. The core was Amy and Cameron who were chatting, and many of them were familiar faces in the Hollywood circle.

Daenerys is confident and calm, but other Hollywood studios who are almost breathless under Daenerys' suppression do not have the confidence.

The crowd circle in front of you is probably the most vivid manifestation of James Cameron's recent encounter.

The long-famous director did not sign a long-term contract with Daenerys. Even though he had a bad reputation of always overspending, his reputation was immediately flawed under the glory of "Titanic". Therefore, during this period, studios of all sizes in Hollywood were trying to get the opportunity to cooperate with Cameron's next project.

Because Cameron, who was under tremendous pressure during the production of "Titanic", had a lot of white hair and grew a lot of white hair. At this time, he was also full of energy and chatted with everyone around him with a new girlfriend.

Lina and Jessica couldn't squeeze in at all, so they could only watch the outside world enviously for a while, giving birth to some emotion like this. Seeing Linda Waggs, who became more familiar with other Hollywood big shots, and Lina walked over together.

When I got closer, Linda happened to introduce a project to Hanks.

"The story tells the story of a man who is tired of marriage and divorced his wife. He accidentally got a romantic encounter mobile phone. After experiencing a series of women, he finally realized the true meaning of love and life. The creativity comes from a movie that was just released in China on January 1st two days ago. It is very interesting. Jim, I think you can try the male lead."

"Remake a Chinese movie, Linda, are you sure?"

Linda Waggs and Lina approached nodded and continued to say to Hanks who was obviously questioning: "In fact, it is a film company established by the boss in China. The script was also finalized by Simon himself, including this remake, which was also Simon's decision. Haha, I even suspect that this creativity was written by Simon himself, but he just didn't admit it."

When Tom Hanks heard Linda say this, he immediately looked at him: "Linda, can I read the script first?"

"There is no script yet," Linda shook her head and said, "However, there is a copy of that movie here. If you are interested, I will take the time to send it to you. The boss deliberately made English subtitles, and you will definitely understand it."

Hanks thought for a while and said, "Just tomorrow, it happens to be Sunday."

"no problem."

When Hanks walked away, Lina immediately said, "Linda, can I watch the movie you just mentioned, too?"
