Even though he was mentally prepared, when the box office data of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" began to be released, many people were still stunned.

On December 22, the first day of large-scale paintings was launched, and the midnight show was included, and the income was US$35.27 million.

On Saturday, December 23, $37.69 million was earned.

On Sunday, December 24, the box office shrank significantly due to Christmas Eve, and it still reached US$23.91 million in a single day.

In the first three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office reached US$96.87 million.

Almost exceeded 100 million!

Although Christmas was Monday, due to the statutory holiday, the box office rebounded sharply again, earning $31.78 million in a single day.

On Tuesday, December 26, it returned to workday and earned $16.69 million.

On Wednesday, December 27, $16.31 million was earned.

On Thursday, December 28, $15.51 million was earned.

According to the final statistics, from December 22 to December 28, the first week of release, the cumulative box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" reached US$177.16 million.

The first week of $177.16 million has increased the first week of $129.13 million in Jurassic Park 2 this summer's summer season by nearly $50 million.

The average screen has reached 3,443, and the first week of the studio has reached 51,400 US dollars.

Among them, the highly-watched IMAX theater has a total of 26 screens, and it also contributed $5.73 million to "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" seven days in the first week. Compared with the movie's total of $177 million in the first week, it seems that it is not much, but the IMAX screen museums are as high as $220,000.

For a week, a total of 2 Lujia IMAX theaters in various parts of North America were completely in a state of full supply and demand.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that if the IMAX screen count of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" increases to an objective number, even if it is 100 yuan, this part of the theater is expected to achieve a box office of 20 million US dollars for a movie in a single week. Many blockbuster films may not necessarily reach a box office of 20 million US dollars in the first week.

Even Daenerys and Time Warner did not expect that the box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" could be so high in the first week. Before that, the best predictions made by the promotional teams of the two companies were probably about $150 million in the first week.

As long as this number can be reached, the total box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in North America is very promising to hit the $500 million mark.

Now, with a $177 million first week, it is hard to imagine how far the total box office of this DC movie universe’s super blockbuster will eventually go. Perhaps it is not impossible for local 600 million to go. Moreover, just a phased gathering of the DC superhero universe, the box office will be so high. What a grand occasion will the future "Justice League" be?

Being strongly impacted by "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", other films during Christmas Week are in sorrow.

The 3D animated film "Beauty and the Beast", which has been in the box office for the week since its release during the Thanksgiving holiday, plummeted 46% in its single-week box office, creating the largest single-week drop since the opening of the painting. The single-week box office also halved from $21.15 million last week to $11.43 million.

After six weeks of release, "Beauty and the Beast" has a cumulative box office of $211.97 million.

Considering that the single-week box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" exceeded expectations and may continue to remain strong afterwards, "Beauty and the Beast" weekly box office is almost halfway down, it is likely that even the estimated $250 million Daenerys Entertainment's expected.

The second-place "Beauty and the Beast" is already like this. Forest Whitaker, who ranked third on the list, directed "Waiting to Wake Up" and the box office fell by 43% the following week, earning $10.81 million.

This black drama film originally had obvious potential for dark horses, but unfortunately it was a pity that it was not good. The production cost of $15 million was released for two weeks, and the cumulative box office reached $29.77 million. There is still a lot of suspense whether it can reach the $50 million mark.

Later, films such as "The New Dragon and Phoenix" starring Harrison Ford and "The Vampire is Crazy" starring Leslie Nelson are completely worth mentioning.

December 29.

A new box office week begins.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the various promotional investments that had been smashed, many videos would have the urge to temporarily withdraw the screening.

However, a total of 9 movies were still on time on December 29th. Four of them were commercial films with a scale of more than 1,000 yuan, and five were small-scale movies during the awards season.

First of all, Oliver Stone's new film "Nixon", which costs $44 million. It is obviously intended to be the awards season this year, with a screen size of 1,310 yuan, trying to adopt a long-term distribution strategy.

After "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice", Warner Bros. Pictures also launched the independent comedy movie "The Old Duckling Boy 2" this week. This is a sequel, starring Jack Lemon and Sophia Roland and other Hollywood veteran movie stars. The first song was released two years ago and achieved a box office of more than $70 million. The film opened on the screen was 1,995 yuan.

After "Street Fighter" which was sold at the end of last year, MGM once again collaborated with Shangr Yundon to launch another B-level action film "Sudden Death", with 1,681 screens.

The last large-scale commercial film was adapted from the novel "The Adventures of Tom" produced by Fox, adapted from Mark Twain's novel, with 1,609 screens.

In addition to the four films with more than 1,000 screens, there are five other small-scale movies.

Among them, Daenerys Entertainment accounted for two.

The first is Catherine Bigelow's new film "Detroit", which tells the 1967 Detroit riots, which was completed last year and eventually cost $30 million, at a medium-level production level. Because of their personal relationship, Simon began to participate since the script stage, and has been watching the post-production completion in person, and has placed the film at the end of the year, trying to win some nominations for Catherine.

However, although the film's finished filming is good, it is undeniable that the theme of this film is really not pleasing. Any country has its own past that it does not like to be revealed, not to mention the very sensitive black riots.

In any case, the film was released successfully.

As a small-scale preview video, the number of screens to be opened is 63.

Another true story-changing "Deathly Walk" was completed by the tentatively named film team, which produced "Four Weddings and One Funeral" and "Blooded Romeo". Simon incorporated the film company two years ago. The team has produced three movies, including "Four Weddings and One Funeral" and "Blooded Romeo" directed by Quentin, both achieved excellent box office. This "Deathly Walk" is directed by Tim Robbins and starred Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon. The number of screens on the screen is 27 yuan.

In Simon's memory, "The Death-Based" has a double harvest of box office and awards, and Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon also won his first Academy Award for Best Actress with this movie.

In addition to the two award-winning films by Daenerys Entertainment, there are three other films, namely "Georgia", "From the Trouble" and "Richard III". Except for "From the Trouble" directed by Michael Hoffman, who came out of Sundance, the other two are not worth mentioning.

This week across New Year's Day, nine new films have arrived, which has not stopped the destruction of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice".

With the attention of a large number of media and movie fans, on December 29, the first day of the next week, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" still earned as much as $26.86 million, a drop of only 24% compared with the same period last week.

Immediately afterwards, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" continued to earn $71.33 million in three days of the following weekend, a year-on-year decline of only 26%.

The new Monday is also New Year's Day, January 1, 1991.

On a legal holiday in North America, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" once again recovered $23.17 million in box office.

It was not until January 2 that the box office data of this DC movie Universe Super Bombshell began to drop significantly. However, from January 2 to January 4, the revenue in three days still reached US$31.39 million.

Finally, after a super high $177 million in the first week, the box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" still reached an astonishing $128.89 million in the next week.

In the second week of release, unlike many media's forecast of halving or even deeper declines in the second week after the first week of super high box office, the actual box office decline in the second week of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was only 27%.

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of this DC movie universe super bombshell also reached US$306.05 million.

The cumulative box office of the painting has exceeded 300 million in two weeks, an unprecedented one.

Since such a box office miracle was created at the opening, more and more people believe that "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" will have great hope to directly increase the local box office of Hollywood movies from $400 million to $600 million at one time.

Not only that, the box office performance of this superhero blockbuster gathered by the three DC giants is also unstoppable.

With the opening of paintings in a total of 31 countries and regions in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and other countries simultaneously with North America, in two weeks, the overseas box office of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" also quickly exceeded the 200 million US dollars mark. With important overseas ticket stores such as France, Japan, and China, the film will be launched one after another in the future, and the overseas box office volume of the film will not be inferior to that of North America at all.

"Jurassic Park 2", which was released this summer, has basically completed worldwide releases, with a cumulative global box office of US$1.159 billion, of which the North American box office was US$413 million and the overseas box office was US$746 million.

There is no doubt that the global box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will only be higher than "Jurassic Park 2".

1996.

Before we knew it, the new year came in a carnival for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" by fans around the world.

Australia.

Inside the Westeros territory of the northwestern Tasmania.

It was Saturday, January 6, 1996.

After Christmas, the Simon family set off from Los Angeles to Melbourne to spend the New Year with the Johnston family. Two days ago, they quietly came to Tasmania, where the private territory of the Westeros family has been expanding.

Over the years, more than one-third of the land on this large island in southeastern Australia has been bought by Simon, with a total area of ​​23,000 square kilometers, equivalent to more than 5 million acres. In order to expand these private territories, the Westeros family has also invested huge sums to close many mining farms and timber factories mainly located in the grasslands, hills and mountains in western Tasmania, and also provided high subsidies to relocate the residents in the territory.

Because Simon continued to buy privately, various rumors and even conspiracy theories have emerged around Tasmania.

This makes this large island located south of the earth more and more an adventure destination for travelers from all over the world.

Moreover, many people even hope to break into the private territory of the Westeros family, which has caused many crises. In many cases, the Westeros family is required to use the maintenance team here for search and rescue.

For Tasmania, Simon's initial intention was to have a large private territory far away from secular people.

In addition, there are some layouts for the future.

Simon has always been a pessimist. The higher he stands, the more pessimistic Simon is about the prospects of mankind. Therefore, if a future inevitably arises, Simon hopes that his family can have a place to hide. Tasmania is undoubtedly the most suitable. This large island is not only located in the extreme south of the earth, but also serves as a barrier on the entire Australian continent.

If the world is in turmoil, this is undoubtedly the least vulnerable area.

In a manor bordering the forest and the pasture.

Simon and Janet sat under the wide eaves of the manor country-style villa facing north, enjoying the sunset in the summer evening in the southern hemisphere, taking care of Greenwich and Snow, while watching Jennifer play on the wide grassland around with three other little guys.

Snow, who had just woken up crying and fell asleep in his arms, returned to the baby cradle, Janet returned to Simon, looked at the thick stack of information that the man was flipping through, and continued the topic just now: "It will definitely not be too easy to enter the medical industry next. The medical industry is actually under great control, and the pattern in this field seems to have been determined long ago, and there will be no large-scale changes. If we break in, we may be attacked by groups."

After the announcement some time ago, Westeros has completed the first reduction of its holdings in Daenerys Entertainment's stock, and will continue to carry out similar operations in the future.

The tens of billions of dollars of cash expected to be recovered will definitely require reinvestment.

Entering the medical industry is a major direction that Simon is considering during this period.

Let’s not talk about other countries for the time being, what is the most profitable industry in the United States?

Many people think of military industry or finance at the first time.

Actually, it should be medical.

The high medical expenses in the United States are world-famous, and not ordinary high, but a deformed high. It costs 8,000 yuan to catch a cold. This line in Simon's memory seems like a joke, but in the United States, it is true, and it is not the charges for those aristocratic clinics, or the cost of many ordinary people taking a cold.

At its peak, the United States' medical expenses accounted for 20% of the GPD. In comparison, the United States' defense expenses were less than 5% of GDP, so it can be seen that the huge benefits contained therein.

If the Westeros system wants to continue to expand, and to expand significantly, it is almost inevitable to enter the medical industry in the next step.
