Chapter 1364: This is the end

The time came to May 29, and a box office week from May 22 to May 28 ended with many people's envy.

The most impressive box office results are naturally "Rush Hour 2".

With Daenerys Entertainment conducting a certain public relations situation, this comprehensive media rating only a few East-West kung fu comedy, and finally earned 91.43 million US dollars in the first seven days of the entire week. Many people subconsciously expect this movie, the first week of more than 90 million US dollars can indeed be described as crazy.

You should know that the first film had a box office of only $33.01 million in the first seven days of the first week. With this, with its outstanding audience reputation, the local box office also reached $141 million.

Now, with a growth of $91.43 million in the first week, almost tripled. What will be the local data of this movie in North America this time?!

With the great success of "Rush Hour 2", many people inevitably discovered that Hollywood Chinese filmmakers seem to be ushering in their own glory, which cannot be considered the second time, because the first Bruce Lee's kung fu movie, which seemed to be the first, was just a flash in the pan, and on the other hand, Bruce Lee was the only one who became famous.

This time, a group of people emerged at the same time.

I won’t talk about anything else, I will only talk about this summer. The "Deadly Postcard" starring Fa Ge and Bai Ge Wu as the producer. This is one. Immediately afterwards, "Rush Hour 2" shines, without a doubt, and then, there is "Hero" co-starring Jeter Lee, who has made a big splash in Hollywood with the new version of "Hurricane Rescue", and Zhang Guoshi, who is quite famous in Europe, is scheduled on July 31.

Three consecutive Chinese films have been crowded in the same summer season, and they are not optional, which can definitely be said to be a phenomenon.

In addition, in addition to "Rush Hour 2", it is worth mentioning that "Los Angeles City Secret" is released in the second week.

This new film with a classic reputation, Bryan de Palma, still controlled the decline to 41% the next week under the impact of "Pulse Hour 2", and was still within expectations, and it closed another $22.83 million.

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of "Los Angeles City Confidential" was US$61.59 million.

Even if "Jurassic Park 3" is about to be released and earns more than 60 million in two weeks, there is still a great hope that "Los Angeles Secret" will hit the threshold of 100 million yuan.

In fact, the production lineup of this movie is quite strong. Not to mention Parma, several protagonists, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and Kevin Spacey, have been well-known in Hollywood before. As the first male lead of the newcomer, Hugh Jackman, made a big splash this time.

With his solid performance skills developed step by step in the Australian entertainment industry, after making his debut in "Super Time and Space Contact" last year, Hugh Jackman still shined under the pressure of several other big stars, portraying the image of the first male lead Bard to a full mark.

Both movies are from Daenerys Entertainment, and other movies during the same period are not very good.

The other films released last week at the same time as "Rush Hour 2" were only "Perfect Murder", starring Michael Douglas, was not too failed. However, under the strong pressure of "Rush Hour 2", the film's box office in the first seven-day market was only $19.35 million, even the next week's "Los Angeles Secret". North America's local box office potential was only about 40 million to 50 million, but it was barely the same as the production cost of $50 million.

Another movie last week's "Casino Style Painting" cost $40 million, and after seven days of the first week, $6.56 million, a thunderclap. The producer Fox can only sigh at "Rush Hour 2", which once again hits Murdoch's enthusiasm for continuing his film business.

In the new box office week on May 29, even if next week is "Jurassic Park 3", there will be four different films to start painting.

However, it is worth mentioning that "2013 Ultimate God Slack" produced by Sony Pictures later.

After Simon interfered slightly last year, he still cheated the Japanese again with the operations of Columbia Pictures president Chris Lee, who was win over by Simon.

This movie in which Kevin Costner is unwilling to give up the failure of "Future Water World" and challenged the end of the world's wasteland film again. Sony was only willing to invest up to $50 million at first, but when the project started, it was impossible for the Japanese to get the blockbuster level of $75 million step by step.

This is also Sony Pictures' only big production this summer.

I don’t know how Chris Lee works, or the competition for the next summer is really fierce, and the schedule is unexpectedly scheduled for May 29.

This means that even if the movie is successful, it will face strong pressure from "Jurassic Park 3" the next week, and the box office will inevitably plummet.

In short, Simon felt that he could talk to Westinghouse about taking back Sony's film business.

There were almost no surprises. After the premiere of "2013 Ultimate God Bad" on Thursday, the day it was released on Friday, the reputation was lifted, and the media was almost inexorable. The media score was only 3.4 points, which was not even as good as "Future Water World". After all, although "Future Water World" was not successful, the world still recovered more than 200 million box offices. It was just because the cost was out of control, which made investors unable to recover their costs.

This time, even if the cost control is $75 million, less than half of "Future Water World", "2013 Ultimate God Bad" has the potential to be a box office dud no matter how you look at it.

The predictions were quickly proven.

The screen size of 2,746 yuan is not small. However, the box office of this apocalyptic science fiction film was only US$4.63 million on the first day of its opening.

The poor $4.63 million made Sony stupid, and he couldn't help but feel that he was cheated again?

Um.

Why say again?

All right.

In the following three days of the weekend, the box office of "2013 Ultimate God Bad" was finally $13.76 million. Although it squeezed to the second place on the three-day weekend list, it is expected that the box office of only 20 million in seven days in the first week is too far from the expectations of Sony's senior executives.

Simon watched all this. In the case of "2013 Ultimate God Bad", in addition to admiring Kevin Costner's repeated boldness in his own failure type, he would definitely have an idea.

From Old Bu's "2001 Space Odyssey" to Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" to the current "2013 Ultimate God Side", Hollywood has made various bold, conservative, high-spirited or pessimistic predictions for the first 20 years of the 21st century. However, as a latecomer, Simon certainly knew that nothing happened.

Compared with the fantasies of filmmakers, the first 20 years of the 21st century can almost be said to be a bit mediocre.

I don't know if this is considered to be some kind of unintentional.

Simon thinks it should be counted.

From the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s to the first twenty years of the 21st century, it should have been the golden 30 years in human history. Without the repeated changes of the farming era for thousands of years, and without the Cold War confrontation that could destroy the world at any time, everything was so beautiful. Logically speaking, human technology should explode quickly.

In fact, it only continued some accumulation in the 20th century.

Perhaps entering the information age is an achievement, but the result has not become very good.

Just like something Simon considered some time ago, the result of the rise of the Internet has led to a large number of the smartest minds who did not invest in the continuous progress of science, but were instead attracted to study how to place advertisements on the Internet more efficiently and accurately.

If humans keep their feet moving forward, the results are conceivable.

The most typical farming era.

Why is there a war or war that lasts for thousands of years? The key is that this productivity is stagnant, and the lack of productivity cannot produce the demand for the growing population, so war is inevitable.

Entering the industrial age, many people were initially optimistic, but as a result, there were two consecutive world wars. Then, there were Cold War confrontations that lasted for half a century and almost dragged humanity into a nuclear war several times.

After all, productivity is still bound.

Besides, the thirty years after the Cold War, except for a small number of regional wars, it can almost be said to be the most peaceful period in human history. Technology is relatively advanced enough compared to the past. However, too many people seem to not realize the crisis, but instead work tirelessly and distribute it.

In thirty years, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

If this trend fails to show another key technological explosion node, such as the infinite energy brought by controlled nuclear fusion, the result will inevitably be another cycle of human history, peace, war,???

After this war, it is hard to say what will be left.

Because humans have mastered nuclear weapons.

There are always people who say that nuclear war will not break out because the upper elites who control the world understand what nuclear war means.

In fact, this is definitely not the case.

The upper-class elites may be far less smart than ordinary people imagine, or they may be a madman or a fool, but they unexpectedly gained power by relying on their instincts to hang out in the political mall for decades.

And, inevitable crowds of public opinion.

These will make the ruler make absolutely irrational decisions.

Imagine that when the army of your country is almost wiped out under normal combat conditions, at this time, do you always use nuclear weapons?

Why not?

As the Emperor said, if Russia is gone, what else should this world do?

So, the first nuclear bomb was launched, and whether the opponent should use nuclear weapons to counterattack. If he doesn't fight back, it means destruction and counterattack. I'm not sure if there will be a second one after the first one, so it's impossible to just counterattack one, so two, three...number...

Is there a chance to stop?

The top politicians may have been hiding in the safest nuclear protection facilities and perhaps storing enough food for decades, so they must have no worries. Since their safety is guaranteed, of course they must continue.

As for the people?

Who would have thought of it?

After all, both sides were already red and shouted to stop. How could it be possible? Do you want me to admit defeat? Will you admit defeat? Perhaps the first round of nuclear bombs has caused millions of casualties, and everyone is in trouble.

then.

Let's continue.

Fireworks are everywhere, mushroom clouds are everywhere.

This is the ending.

The time is June, first of all, the premiere of "Jurassic Park 3" on June 3.

For such a heavyweight sequel film, the reputation and box office prospects are basically determined in the early internal trial stage, so there is nothing to worry about. After the lively premiere, the reputation of "Jurassic Park 3" was also lifted on Thursday the next day. The 7.8-point comprehensive media score is not the best series, but under the curse that the trilogy that Hollywood often cannot get rid of is often declining, this is already a pretty good finale.

After all, "Jurassic Park 3" is actually similar to "Russy Hour 2". With a very popular foundation, the comprehensive media score of 7.8 is enough for the audience to enter the cinema without any psychological barriers.

Immediately afterwards, on June 5, the number of screens in North America reached 4,337, and the entire line was rolled out.

Time is no longer the first "Jurassic Park" period. Hollywood's saturated distribution is becoming more and more mature. Previously, "Russic Hour 2" could exceed 90 million in the first week. No one would doubt the box office prospects of "Jurassic Park 3". What's more, Daenerys Entertainment also clearly announced that "Jurassic Park 3" will be the end of the dinosaur series. After this movie ends, it will not be restarted in the next ten years, which has made many people enter the theater for this phenomenon.

As a result, on the first day of its release, "Jurassic Park 3" earned $32.17 million under the jealousy of all other Hollywood studios.

Not only did it exceed 100 million in the first week, it is obviously a trend that will hit the 100 million yuan threshold in three days on the first weekend.

Perhaps, in the short term, the only one who can surpass "Jurassic Park 3" will be next year's Star Wars prequel, and even the DC Cinema Universe series will be weaker unless Simon starts the "Justice League" assembly in advance.

Los Angeles.

Inside the mountainside mansion in Palisade.

It is Saturday, June 6th.

Three six, according to China, is a very lucky day.

This is a celebration party held by Daenerys Entertainment, mainly for "Los Angeles Secret" and "Russian Time 2". As for "Jurassic Park 3", there must be some next. After all, the parties are the normal living conditions of the natives in Hollywood. If you don't attend dozens or hundreds of parties every year, it will definitely not be considered arriving in Hollywood.

Simon is in Los Angeles this weekend, so he will naturally not be absent. He rushed over at about eight o'clock.

Follow the map to find the social engagement.

Girl A prepared the list in advance and asked him one by one if he needed hello, and then there was the time for free movement.

Tonight's party was very lively.
