May 17 to May 23.

In seven days, the Mummy, which opened the first week of painting, finally reached $63.54 million, easily landed in the first week of the box office list. With its outstanding results in the first week, Daenerys and Fox announced the news that the sequel was put on the agenda.

Subsequently, the second week of release of "Romeo and Juliet" achieved a counterattack against Arnold Schwarzenegger's super blockbuster "Evaporation Order", with a box office of $25.45 million the following week.

After two weeks of painting, the cumulative box office of "Romeo and Juliet" reached 56.91 million US dollars.

New World Pictures has recovered all US$30 million in production and promotion costs in two weeks and has begun to make profits. Moreover, because the box office drop in the next week is only 19%, the subsequent box office potential of the film is very good.

In a strong contrast with "Romeo and Juliet", it is undoubtedly "Evaporation Secret Order".

The next week of release, the box office of "Evaporation" which was not satisfactory at the beginning of the film was hit by "Mummy", fell sharply by 51%. The box office in the second week was only 17.79 million US dollars, and the cumulative total of 54.21 million US dollars in two weeks, which seems to be a lot, but with the film's box office trend at this time, the final local box office will only be around 80 million US dollars.

Warner Bros. has invested a total of US$130 million, with a local investment of 80 million, and cannot even recover half of the production cost of US$100 million. Because the overseas account share ratio is very low, even if the overseas box office doubles compared to the local investment, Warner still cannot escape losses in the theater distribution stage.

The final "Ace Spy" ended up with a box office of $15.94 million in the first week of the painting.

Not a complete failure.

But it also means that you directly withdraw from the competition during the summer season.

May 24.

In the third week of the summer, because it was added between "Mummy" and "Mission Impossible 2", there were only two new films with a large scale released this week.

One is Leslie Nelson's comedy "The Ultimate Laughing Detective", produced by Sony, with a production cost of 18 million US dollars and a screen number of 22.86 million yuan. It is still the routine of "The White-Headed Detective".

Another movie is "Black Hero", which appeared in many people's sights during this period.

This Hong Kong film from the other side of the ocean has 1,296 screens, which seems not much, but in fact, it is the screen that Daenerys Entertainment used its own influence to win from the theater industry.

Otherwise, major theaters in North America are not willing to give a Hong Kong film for popular summer seasons. After all, after so many years, there is only one Jack Cheng who is still recognized by North American audiences.
