Chapter 297 (1/2)

Simon is in a duplex apartment on Fifth Avenue on upper east side.

Last night, Simon got up at 6 a.m. in New York and began to prepare breakfast for them.

Today is Friday, October 6th.

Simon and Janet are leaving for another day on the Ninja Turtle set. Denise entertainment has a lot to deal with recently, and Janet has to return to her headquarters in Melbourne to take charge of the operation of the US junk bond market.

Moreover, since it is confirmed that the crisis in the US junk bond market is about to break out, it is easy to be associated with staying in New York, which is not a good thing.

The next reunion is in early November, and the Boeing 767 scheduled from Boeing is just delivered. Some of the most urgent things in their hands should be finished.

After breakfast, Janet rushes to the westrow company in midtown. Simon and Jennifer meet. First, she takes the female assistant to the New York branch building of Denise entertainment in Greenwich Village to listen to some work reports. Then, she rushes to Brooklyn, east of Manhattan. Ninja turtle is selected to shoot in Brooklyn.

It's still 6 a.m. in Los Angeles, but the box office data of the previous week have been released.

From September 29 to October 5, the 14th week of its release, Denise Entertainment's ”sixth sense” received another $5.09 million, and the cumulative box office has reached $275.06 million.

Uncle buck, which opened on August 11, is also in its eighth week of release, with another $3.26 million in a single week's box office, and a total of $57.02 million. With a box office potential of about US $10 million, uncle buck is expected to become John Hughes' second highest box office performance in recent years after spring is not a day to read.

Due to the recent dispute between danielis entertainment and alista records, the box office data of bodyguard, the earliest release of the Summer Edition, has begun to close. In recent weeks, there has been a small-scale rebound. Last week, the box office of bodyguard received another 510000 US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 118.31 million US dollars.

”Bodyguard” currently has 286 screens, and it is expected that the local box office will break through the $120 million mark before its next release.

In addition, in September, gaomen film launched sweet sister and woman on the roof, which were bought from Cannes Film Festival. The two films were released on September 8 and 22 respectively.

Ella doichman has found out a set of effective radial distribution mode through the first half of the year's film distribution of metropolises, sisters, Sid sisters, etc., that is, the strategy of small-scale opening in New York, Los Angeles and other central cities to test the market reaction, and then gradually spreading to other cities.

Jane Campion's ”sweet sister” has been marketed in three major cities: New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. After the word-of-mouth of the audition was recognized by the media, doechman resolutely invested $300000 in the publicity and distribution of the three cities.

”Sweet sister” opened on September 8 with 26 screens. In its first week, it made more than $19000 in revenue, with a box office revenue of $510000 in seven days.

Considering the audience of the film, the distribution team of gaomen pictures predicts that the total box office of sweet sister in North America is expected to reach $5 million.

At the beginning, gaomen pictures only paid $500000 in advance for the purchase of sweet sister. After the increase, the overall publicity cost can also be controlled within $1 million. Although it will have to pay 50% of the net box office profit of the producer in the future, the later video and TV broadcast income will all belong to Danielle Reese entertainment, and this project is also a small success.

As for ”woman on the roof”, gaomen film did not follow the route of stele to seek the recognition of the media. Instead, it hyped the lesbian elements and beautiful scenes in the film. Doechman also arranged for the two heroines of the film to appear in a local adult oriented men's magazine in New York.

In view of the fact that the audience doesn't like watching subtitles, gaomen film has specially made a dubbing version for this Swedish film.

Gaomen pictures has invested 300000 US dollars in film purchase, dubbing and publicity. The woman on the roof opened with 11 screens in New York on September 22 and took back 230000 US dollars in seven days. According to the $100000 publicity investment in New York, the cost has been recovered, and the box office of more than $20000 in a single museum is better than sweet sister.

However, in the second week, with the same screen size, the box office of ”woman on the roof” which was still limited to New York fell by 36% from September 29 to October 5, and the box office curve was not as strong as ”sweet sister”. It is estimated that after several months of long-term screening, the box office in North America should reach about $3 million.

In a word, these two ”small businesses” of gaomen pictures are not worth mentioning in front of such blockbuster films as Denise Entertainment's sixth sense and bodyguard, but Simon does not despise them at all. He always adheres to the attitude of treating $500000 business and $50 million business as one.

After all, a big tree is doomed to wither if it only has trunk and lacks branches and leaves. These ”small businesses” are actually the branches and leaves of danielis entertainment. What's more, no one is sure whether these humble branches and leaves will suddenly become another towering tree one day.In addition to the domestic box office, some overseas box office data of bodyguard appeared in this week's report.

In this era, the overseas distribution of Hollywood films is generally more than three months later than that in China. Denise entertainment is also very cautious about the overseas distribution of ”the sixth sense”. Therefore, for the three summer films, only ”bodyguard” has entered the overseas market in September.

During this period of time, the dispute between danielis entertainment and alista records on the original album bodyguard has become a heated one. Under the unyielding strong attitude of danielis entertainment, alista records had to accept the financial audit of danielis entertainment last week, and now it is near the end.
