Chapter 996 Promotion
In the sixth week of release, although "007: The Ghost Party" was squeezed into the third place in the weekly box office list, the box office in a single week was still 15.52 million US dollars. It started for two and a half months. The cumulative local box office of this super bomb has reached 247.73 million US dollars, which is a distance of over 50 million yuan from the threshold of 300 million yuan, and it basically locks in a box office club of 300 million yuan.
"The Deadhead Valley", which was two weeks behind "The Ghost Party of 007", also ranked fourth on the list in the fourth week of its release, earning $15.17 million. In the cumulative release of one month, the film's local box office reached $129.56 million.
The box office volume of "Blade Valley" and "007's Ghost Party" are obviously not on the same order of magnitude. However, the box office results of this fantasy horror film, which can be used as wallpapers, have long reached Simon's expectations. The expected local box office of the film has increased from the initial 150 million to 170 million. However, the release of local theaters has allowed Daenerys Entertainment to recover more than 90% of the total investment of 100 million. As of now, the cumulative global box office has allowed Daenerys Entertainment to quickly enter the profit stage.
After the top four, the single-week box office of "Bird Cage", which ranked fifth on the list, fell directly to the 10 million US dollars range, with a box office of $9.07 million in the third week of release.
The cumulative box office of this alternative homosexual comedy starring Robin Williams in North America exceeded 100 million in original time and space. This time, due to many reasons, the film's box office in three weeks of release was only 47.95 million US dollars. Although the expected box office of about 70 million US dollars still exceeded MGM's expectations, it failed to replicate the outstanding achievements in history.
The box office performance of "Bird Cage" is also better than Disney's "Battle of the Deadly Island".
The only three original creators left behind the old 007 actor Sean Connery's "Battle of the Deadly Island". Although it still burned Disney's production budget of up to $70 million, the same weekly box office was only $8.13 million left in the third week of release, and the cumulative box office of three weeks was $46.25 million.
France's Vivendi ambition to swallow this old film company, which is a symbol of American culture last year. As a result, pots of cold water were poured down one after another, just like Sony, which acquired the "Story of Liberty".
On July 26, a new box office week will begin.
In the last box office week, due to the opening of the Olympics, the box office volume in North America fell from US$167 million to US$111 million in a single week, a drop of 35%, with a significant impact.
The Olympics continue to be hot this week. There are no commercial films with a scale of more than 1,000 yuan in North American theaters. The only one who can make the most of the achievements is the new work of Coen Brothers produced by Gaomen Pictures. This crime drama won the Best Director Award at the previous Cannes Film Festival. The media reputation is very good, with 715 yuan on screens.
As the weekend went on, the Atlanta Olympics that lasted smoothly for a week, a sudden change occurred.
Atlanta Olympic Century Park, which was specially built to welcome the Olympics, suddenly exploded at an open-air concert with thousands of people gathered at the beginning of July 27. Because the crowds were too dense during the explosion, more than 200 people were injured at the scene and 11 people died directly. In the subsequent hustle and bustle, there were also serious injuries that were still dead.
Such a bad explosion shocked the whole world.
Clinton paid attention to the bombing overnight and asked the FBI to set up a special investigation team. Countries around the world also expressed concern and sympathy for the bombing, and condemned the criminals.
Speaking of which, the bombings in the United States in the 1990s were coming one after another, such as the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the Woodfield Manor bombing in 1994, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, and even this time the Atlanta Olympics bombing in 1996, these are just explosions with relatively large impacts and casualties, and they are only counted within the United States.
Not to mention anything else, Simon basically knew the ins and outs of the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics later on.
First of all, the casualties of this explosion were significantly more than Simon's memory, because in history, the bomb backpack was discovered in advance by a patrol policeman. However, it did not have time to dismantle it, but an explosion occurred during the evacuation of the crowd. Therefore, the death toll was very small, and more were injured. However, this time it was not discovered in advance, resulting in direct deaths of more than 10 people.
It is ironic to say that the police who discovered the explosive backpack was slandered as a suspect at the time, and was attacked by the whole nation, and their lives were almost destroyed.
Moreover, in the original time and space, Eric Rudolph, the suspect in the explosion in 1996, was not arrested until 10 years later. After trial, he was still a habitual criminal. The other party had committed several bombings in succession since 1977. The attacks on the Atlanta Olympics were to protest the relaxation of abortion control by the Clinton authorities.
Even though he knew the inside story, Simon was just watching all this coldly.
The several consecutive operations two years ago were entirely for establishing authority. It was actually very risky to tell some people that if they were wrong about the Westeros family, they would be willing to fight to the death. Even interfering in the midterm elections back then was actually very risky.
If you intervene in the Atlanta Olympic bombing this time, you will definitely end up like a policeman who was wrongly accused of collapse.
Therefore, everything within the Westeros system is as usual.
After a chaotic and volatile weekend, on July 29, Verizon Telecom officially announced the start of an IPO roadshow, with the listing date set to August 15.
Because he planned to have a family vacation after Verizon was listed, he would have to stay in Australia for about half a month, and Simon's recent work schedule is also more full.
Busy, August is coming soon.
The first big event in August was Yeltsin's second term inauguration ceremony on August 3.
Regarding Yeltsin's re-election, the outside world is undoubtedly the Russian business oligarchs who have successfully entered the Kristian Palace, such as Berezovsky, who is rumored to be fighting for the position of prime minister.
Simon noticed a detail.
On the day of the inauguration, in a group photo of the new core of the Kergeant government released by the Yeltsin government, a middle-aged man with a low figure and sparse hair seemed to appear in the corner of the photo casually.
More precise news came immediately.
On the second day of Yeltsin's inauguration, someone was on the list of the first adjusted core list of Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerbert Kerber
Although the names of the two departments are not very different, their powers are very different. The former is equivalent to the deputy general manager of the Otakui, and after all, he is only Yeltsin's inner minister. He does not have many state affairs to intervene. The latter is the deputy director of the confidential department of the Russian government who is directly responsible to the head of state. Moreover, in the announcement of the Moscow authorities, someone's deputy director will be in charge of the foreign economic ties and the formulation of relevant legal policies this time, which is close to the core of state power.
