When Carmen Cath heard that his boss was not allowed to let other fairies disturb him, he nodded and agreed and left the restaurant.

A moment later I sent a document in.

Simon was having breakfast while flipping through the box office data report for the three days of the weekend from November 10 to November 12.

The most important "Justice League: Invasion" at the end of the year will be released this Friday. Compared with "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" that only set a box office record in the history of $700 million in film a few years ago, the industry expects "Justice League: Invasion" to be the most conservative and local 600 million in size.

This has also caused other competitors to avoid it.

One of the most important films is "Spy Shadows".

This completed agent spy film was originally scheduled to be released at the end of this year. However, the thanksgiving file includes "Justice League: Invasion", and the Christmas file includes "Lord of the Rings 2: The Twin Towers" and "Grinch" and "The Grinch". This project is not suitable anywhere.

Of course, it can be stuffed in.

The problem is that "Spy Shadows" is the beginning of an important branch of the Agents Cinema Universe. If it is crushed by two super blockbusters at the end of this year, even if the box office is still impressive, but it cannot cause any influence, the subsequent series will inevitably be affected.

In the end, all parties agreed that Simon would decide whether to postpone it until next summer.

Good movies are not afraid of being late.

Although some projects took the initiative to avoid it, the gratitude period at the end of the year was actually officially opened last Friday, November 10th.

Among them is a new sequel released by Daenerys's New World Films, "Shocking Scream 2".

This nonsensical series that spoofs various horror movies was the first in 1998. It cost $20 million to produce, and it earned $146 million in local revenue and earned $273 million worldwide, making it a big sale.

In theory, this should be considered an important series of films and cannot be regarded as cannon fodder. However, Daenerys is really not short of similar series. As a result of too much wealth, she can only "internal consumption".

The production cost of this sequel increased to $40 million, and Madonna was invited to play a guest role. After weighing the trade-offs, the schedule was still on November 10th.

Moreover, although Queen Mai has a cameo appearance, at least Simon personally thinks that the quality of the sequel is just average, even if she really becomes cannon fodder, it will not be a pity.

Speaking of which, for the series "Shocking Scream", no matter whether it is on the original timeline or this time, like many inexplicable movies, no one can say why the audience is so supportive.

After three days of painting, Simon made some preparations, but earned $25.13 million in the first weekend.

It is expected to earn 40 million in the full first week.

Even if the sequel cost doubles, this is actually a pretty good result.

It can be imagined that if it weren't for a box office monster standing in front, "Shocking Scream 2" would have exceeded 100 million in the local area.

Of course, even if you will inevitably be crushed by "Justice League: Invasion" in the future, the final local box office of this project is expected to not be less than US$70 million. This has exceeded the total project cost of 20 million promotions and promotions.

Considering that the overseas schedule of the film can be arranged relatively flexibly, it does not need to collide with "Justice League: Invasion" and recover more box office than the local ones, there is a great hope.

Therefore, this is still a project that can make profits at the theater stage.

I didn't expect it, but this result made Simon a little surprised. Perhaps the third part could also be included in the New World Pictures' plan. Of course, according to Simon's idea, the sequel should be postponed as much as possible and will not be considered in the next three years.

In addition to "Shocking Scream 2", the second place is Adam Sandler's new film called "The Legend of Pets", which tells the story of a pet doctor with a kind heart and dull personality who finally gains the warmth of love due to various accidents caused by a pet dog.

After Adam Sandler ended his packaging contract with Daenerys Entertainment, Simon began to switch to other studios because he insisted on the company strategy of not working for celebrities.

This "Pet Rich" was invested by Disney and has a production cost of $60 million. It is obviously a story template that suits Adam Sandler's honest image. Therefore, it earns $23.93 million in three days on the weekend, and is expected to be about $35 million in the first week.

It is because "Justice League: Invasion" is standing in front, and the local box office is expected to be 60 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the production cost.

Not a failure.

The problem is that the budget of this project is too high, even if the overseas market can perform better, it is unlikely that Disney will want to recover the cost in the theater stage.

This is also a kind of "one rises and the other falls" that Simon is happy to see.

If large studios do not have enough accumulation, such as IP, or long-term series, they can only accept this kind of low-cost-performance cooperation, and eventually tend to be a barely maintained state.

The favorite partner of the Hollywood Lanzi Gang was Sony and Paramount, which was hard to maintain.

This time, it is mainly Disney controlled by France Vivendi.

In comparison, even Paramount, which is backed by Westinghouse Electric, in addition to series such as Mission: Impossible and Star Trek, there are also collaborations with Spielberg and others' DreamWorks.

As for the other companies, not to mention.

Thinking of this, Simon once again realized that there were only five major studios left in Hollywood.

The ultimate goal is to have a three-legged sect.

Let’s talk about the first week of the gratitude period. After two new films, the third place returned to "Soul 4: Death" produced by New World Pictures, a subsidiary of Daenerys Entertainment.

After the first week of good start, the next week of release from November 3 to November 9, "Soul Conjuring 4: Death" closed at another $50.77 million with a good drop of 36%, and the cumulative box office quickly reached $130.11 million.

This weekend just past, "Soul Conjuring 4: Death" still fell quite well compared to last weekend, with a drop of 39%, and another $20.37 million. It is expected that the full third week of the year will be around $30 million, thus pushing the total box office of the project to more than $160 million.

There is only a difference of 40 million to go away from the threshold of 200 million US dollars.

Faced with the fierce momentum of "Justice League: Invasion", even if the box office of the film drops by half next week, with about 15 million US dollars remaining, considering the next two consecutive hot schedules, the film itself has little left in a single-week box office volume, and will not encounter too strong impact. Relying on long-term accumulation, it will collect another 40 million, breaking the box office threshold of 200 million, with great hope.

Once the goal is achieved, "Soul Conjuring 4: Death" will also become the first movie in the "Soul Conjuring Cinema Universe" series that is restricted by subject matter and is difficult to reach too high.

Worth celebrating.

In addition to the top three, the box office of some other projects fell directly to tens of millions of dollars in three days on weekends, which is not worth mentioning.

After breakfast, I bid farewell to the goblins of the big and small mansions in the Linhai Manor of East Hampton. Simon set off for Washington and started various schedules.

Simon is busy with his own affairs, and this week two major entertainment news gradually covered the aftermath of the election, one is the upcoming "Justice League: Invasion" which will be released on Friday, and the other is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that will be held on Saturday.

This was also done by Simon.

Politics is so boring. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to pay more attention to entertainment news and make your body and mind happy?

Moreover, this is also due to the high attention of both major entertainment events. Otherwise, Simon will be able to attract much attention after being fueled by the backstage.

The current situation is that it is absolutely national level, or even global level.

This can be seen from a unified phenomenon surrounding two things.

In addition to the Holy Citizens Auditorium in Los Angeles, which will hold the world premiere of Justice League: Invasion, there is also the Lai Sington Avenue Arsenal, New York, which will hold the new Victoria's Secret show. As early as more than a month in advance, fans have set up camp.

On the streets of Los Angeles, COSPALY around DC superheroes can be seen everywhere during this period.

On the streets of New York, the angel posters posted by Victoria's Secret officials during this period have been stolen. The Manhattan police have recently handled six consecutive stalking incidents related to Victoria's Secret Angels, which are the kind that have been put into action to cause personal threats and have to call the police.

Anyway, all kinds of fanaticism.

Every fanaticism surrounding the two major entertainment events is a reversal of the aftermath of the election, and the effect is gratifying.

Time comes November 15th in a blink of an eye.

Wednesday.

Simon held a cocktail party in his own estate outside Washington, when the president and his wife were invited to attend a low-key reception, at five o'clock in the afternoon on the West Coast of Los Angeles, the world premiere of Justice League: Invasion officially kicked off.

Downtown Los Angeles.

On the street near the Holy Citizens Auditorium, a concierge car was slowly moving in the jam traffic.

The little maid who came from China was wearing a big red one-shoulder dress and sat in the concierge car to look at the bustling crowds of various signs mixed with superheroes on both sides of the road, feeling a lot of emotion.

When can I star in such a world-class super blockbuster?

It's frustrating to think about it.

Although she has successfully packaged herself as a superstar with international influence through the "My Fair Princess" series and "Legend of Sword and Fairy", plus some films she participated in in North America, in fact, her influence is basically limited to China.

On the Hollywood side, whether it is Li Youhu who has starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" in succession, or Jiang Anqi, who is well-known for "Hurricane Rescue", she is much more famous than her.

Next, if the "Chu Han" series can be successful in the United States, it will definitely be a few more popular ones.

There is no her among them!

This time I came here to participate in an audition, and also to join in the lively world premiere of "Justice League: Invasion". However, you can imagine that if the domestic operation is not good, you may be ridiculed.

The little maid believes in the strength of Weijing Media, which she is backed by. The problem is that some of the other fairies that compete with her are not fuel-efficient.

If it is an internal fight...well, palace fight, whether it is Jinshu or Weijing, everyone else can only pretend not to see it.

Now I can only be glad that the three-person group that became popular with "My Fair Princess" and the other two, because they had previously switched jobs and left Weijing Media, also left a man, were a super bad move. In just a few years, it can be said that their popularity has dropped significantly.

There is no way, the competition in the domestic circle is really fierce.

As for Hollywood, there is no follow-up.

Whenever the little maid thinks of her big-eyed look at the Hong Kong filmmakers at a dinner a few days ago, she can't help but want to laugh. The character she looks down on is the other party who needs to do everything she can to fight for.

I also heard that Big Eyes and Crabbit Flowers want to return to the veranda.

The little maid was nervous about this for several days, and finally couldn't help asking Ren Jingxi. The answer was that she had refused, but the reason was that it was difficult to arrange resources.

This is also a fact.

Although Weijing is growing rapidly now, it has no shortage of contracted actresses of all kinds, and there are even some yin and yang decline. Big eyes and zimuth flowers are back. It is difficult for Ren Jingxi to reasonably position the treatment of the two people.

After all, the two left voluntarily, although it was a good time to part with each other, to some extent it was also a betrayal.

The betrayer is back. If there are various good resources and projects immediately, what do others think? It will definitely hurt morale and hearts. But if you have a "poor talent", it will make the two of them dissatisfied.

Since that's the case, it's better to refuse.

Although I quickly figured out this, the little maid almost couldn't help but hug her sister Ren and kiss her.

It's a family after all!
