Chapter 157 (1/2)

On April 1, three other new films joined the competition for the Easter season.

Except for Tim Burton's ”beetle juice”, the other two new films do not pose any threat to ”when Harry meets Sally”.

Simon is very clear about the box office potential of ”beetle juice”. In the original time and space, it was because of the success of ”beetle juice” that Tim Burton got the job of director of ”Batman”.

However, Warner now obviously doesn't hold too much expectation for ”beetle juice”. Although it has given the Easter schedule, it only provides 1000 opening screens for the film, which is far lower than the 1700 of ”golden academy 5” in the previous two weeks.

So, in Easter week, when Harry meets Sally, the box office of ”when Harry meets Sally” dropped only 13% to close at $15.49 million, reaching $37.05 million. Beetle juice, which follows when Harry meets Sally, grossed $13.24 million in the first week, almost double that of golden academy 5.

Immediately, Warner's deep foundation as one of the seven major Hollywood Studios was immediately revealed.

Due to the box office success of the first week, Ron McMillan is also in charge of scream with Wes Craven after finishing ”death is coming” with Wes Craven last year.

What Simon wants to talk to Ron Macmillan happens to have something to do with scream.

Seeing Simon come in, Ron McMillan, who is obviously more prosperous than Luotuo two years ago, warmly shakes hands with him and says, ”Simon, how are you talking with Disney?”

”It's done,” Simon and Macmillan shook hands, turned to their desks, sat down, flipped out a folder, and said, ”Ron, we have to have a good talk.”

Ron McMillan sat down opposite Simon. Seeing that his face became serious, he felt a little uneasy unconsciously: ”what's the problem?”

Simon handed the folder in his hand and said, ”about scream, I remember saying at the first production meeting that Cathy, who was killed at the beginning of the production, was crucial to shaping the thriller tone of the whole film. In order to increase the impact on the audience, we need to choose an actress with high popularity. ”

Ron McMillan opened the folder and saw a list of actresses in it. A guilty look flashed on his face.

However, under Simon's gaze, he said in a relaxed tone: ”Simon, does Amanda wise not meet your requirements? She made her debut ten years ago and has played in many films. ”
