Chapter 1723: Fundamental Changes

Hearing Christine's question, Simon nodded, showed the documents in her hand, and said, "If you want to read them, I'll ask them to send a copy."

Christine Scott Thomas aimed at the numbers on the document in the man's hand, and deliberately said, "But, I want to watch the IMAX version, and I heard that the visual effect was very shocking."

Simon smiled and said, "Then there is no way to send it to your home, but I can have someone arrange a VIP session for you. Well, and Julie, are you going to see it together in the morning?"

Juliet Binoche was originally looking at the numbers on the report in the man's hand, but it felt a little unreal. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "There are only two of us in the hall of hundreds of people, Simon, I don't want to be so luxurious."

Daenerys' current IMAX screening halls are all halls with hundreds of people. After all, the cost is there, and it is difficult for the small hall to achieve balance between income and expenditure.

This situation can only change after digital promotion in the future.

Christine actually wanted to be extravagant and looked forward to it: "Simon, do you have time to go see it with us?"

"I've seen the sample in private too many times. You know, if you eat one dish many times, you will get tired of it."

Christine sighed in dismay, and then teasedly touching Juliet Binoche's pretty face in the man's arms: "Simon, you probably haven't gotten tired of this dish yet?"

Juliet blushed again, opened her mouth and bit Christine's fingers. She saw the other party screaming and thrusting her hands, and counterattacked: "You are the ones."

Simon smiled and let the cat fight, turning his eyes to the report in his hand.

The two women had no intention of taking action, and they quarreled for a few more times, and quickly stopped and aimed at the document together.

After a moment, Juliet couldn't help it and said in disbelief: "Simon, I have $46.37 million in just one day. Is this...real?"

In Juliet Binoche's perception, even many big-selling films have a box office of about 40 million US dollars in a week. Most of the total box offices in the movies that this art film actress has starred in in the past!

The first day exceeded 46 million, which would cost $200 million in a full week?

Two hundred million!

Simon felt the pleasant fragrance of the woman in her arms, and his chin rubbed against her slanted face, and said with a smile: "The screen that is more than 5,000 yuan, and all IMAX screening rooms in North America are 46 million on the first day, which is normal."

Julia was thorned by the man's shallow stubble, and she felt inexplicably fond of feeling. She wanted to get in touch again, but she was embarrassed, so she could only continue the topic being discussed: "In this case, well... the box office of this movie will exceed 200 million US dollars in the first week of this movie?"

"No surprise, that should be the case."

The first day is 46.37 million, which is easy to calculate. The box office number in the first three days should reach about 140 million, and the full seven days. Even if next Thursday is Thanksgiving, many potential audiences will give up going out to watch movies and eat with their families, but it will not prevent the box office of Justice League: Invasion from reaching more than 200 million US dollars in one week.

Seeing the two chatting enthusiastically, Christine interrupted: "It's incredible. When will I be able to star in a movie that had a box office of over $200 million in the first week."

"It takes luck," Simon said. "But if you don't mind the size of the character, you can make a cameo in some super blockbusters."

Whether it is the original "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" or the later "Titanic", and then the "Justice League: Invasion", the box office volume of North America is $600 million, which is a very small number of phenomenal ones after all.

At this stage, the local volume of most popular videos is still around 300 million US dollars.

For example, the Lord of the Rings series.

Therefore, it takes a lot of luck to appear in such a film.

The only thing Simon is more certain about is probably the planning of a collection of "Avengers" in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Christine raised her hand to Simon's shoulder, and her body slanted over again, with expectations: "Simon, what if I mind?"

Came as a guest?

So insincere!

Before Simon spoke, Juliet, who had a straightforward personality, had already broken up: "Then you will never have a chance."

Christine: “…”

If the man didn't come here again, she would definitely not be able to help but pinch her little mouth.

Too good at speaking.

I will help you pull your mouth a little open and say hard!

While the three of them were talking about the box office of Justice League: Invasion on the first day, there were also hot discussions throughout North America and even around the world.

Most of them were cheering, admiring and feeling, but there was no shortage of objections.

For example, the box office of Justice League: Invasion was high on the first day, and the most direct impact was other films of the same period.

Although most new films have chosen to avoid it, there is still a comedy film produced by Paramount at the same time. This is the latest family comedy by the 'White-Headed Detective' Laisley Nelson, called "Mr. Gardener", which tells the story of a middle-class town surrounding a private garden competition with a prize of $100,000.

This warm comedy, which costs $30 million and is also very suitable for the upcoming Thanksgiving atmosphere. Although it received a 6.7-percent passing media rating, which is not a bad work, under the strong crush of "Justice League: Invasion", the box office on the first day was only a pitiful $780,000.

That's right, it's 780,000, not 7.8 million.

The first day was $780,000, and it is expected that the film's box office will be only $3 million in the entire week.

A box office tragedy that was destined.

In addition to this poor new film, even the old movies such as "Shocking Scream 2" and "Soul Conjuring 4: Death" have been much more severe than most people's previous plans.

Among them, "Shocking Scream 2" is only the second week of its release. The single-day year-on-year decline of just over Friday was as high as 63%. If this trend is the case in the entire week, the total box office of the movie will plummet from US$41.43 million in the first week to around US$15 million.

There is no possibility of local 100 million.

The first part of this project, North America, achieved an outstanding result of US$146 million.

In short, the result of "Justice League: Invasion"'s unique success is undoubtedly the withering of other flowers.

On the FB platform, a critic with more than 300,000 fans expressed strong concerns about this, believing that the excessive prosperity of super blockbusters such as "Justice League: Invasion" should be curbed, because behind this seemingly prosperous situation, it is likely to damage Hollywood's foundation and make the American film market lose the living space of other types of films.

This argument was released and quickly resonated with a lot of resonance.

Speaking of which, this is consistent with Simon's private viewpoint. We should not be too overly dominant in blockbusters, and we should maintain the diversity of Hollywood.

However, while being widely debated, many people have to admit the fact that Hollywood's film industry structure has undergone fundamental changes without realizing it.

Simply put, it is the Matthew effect. The stronger the stronger the stronger the weak gradually lose their living space.

Just like "Justice League: Invasion", according to the box office estimates on the first day, North America reached the $700 million local box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" five years ago. There is no big problem. The world is likely to hit the 2 billion mark again.

If the goal is achieved, it means that even if the total cost of this project reaches US$350 million, Daenerys and Time Warner can make nearly US$500 million in profits only in the global theater distribution stage.

It's just a movie, with a profit of $500 million. What does this mean?

Take this year's Fortune 500 companies as an example. There are 224 companies with annual profits of less than US$500 million, which is nearly half. In other words, the revenue of the movie "Justice League: Invasion", well... it is just the box office revenue of the theater distribution stage, which exceeds the annual profit level of nearly half of the world's most powerful companies.

This is not the most popular toys, costumes, games and other peripherals sold in the same period of Justice League: Invasion.

Not to mention the follow-up.

With the size of "Justice League: Invasion", not to mention the current peak rental market, even in the future, if the TV channel wants to purchase playback rights in the future, it will definitely play it per time, so don't think about monthly and annual payments. Moreover, the price of each playback will not be lower than the level of tens of millions of dollars.

Therefore, even though the global market continues to expand and surrounding channels continue to enrich, a super blockbuster like "Justice League: Invasion" still seems too dazzling. This dazzling more direct impact is that it unknowingly squeezes out the living space of many other movies.
