Chapter 313 (1/2)
In recent years, apple is still strong, UNIX and other old operating systems still occupy a large part of the market share.
Therefore, in addition to the attention in the field of new technology and the rise of the stock price, westero's 10% increase in Microsoft's shares did not cause too strong repercussions. Most people can not see that Microsoft has the potential to become an adverse technology giant.
When it was settled, Simon's attention returned to Hollywood.
Another week in December is also quietly away.
In the week from December 8 to December 14, the fourth week of ”flying over innocence” closed another $16.93 million with a 22% drop, with a cumulative box office of $101.25 million, officially breaking through $100 million, becoming the first film to break through $100 million at the end of the year.
With the coming of the popular Christmas season, even with the upcoming blockbuster films like Batman and rocket expert, the family comedy ”over the air” still has full box office potential.
The industry originally expected that the North American box office of the film might be between 150 million and 170 million US dollars. When the box office data of the new week comes out, both the producer and distributor of the film and the external box office statistics agency confirm that the North American box office of ”flying over innocence” is expected to reach 170 million US dollars or even higher.
In Simon's memory, the box office of ”over the boy's innocence” in North America is only about $140 million.
However, the original version of ”over the air innocence” was released in mid October, which was not as good as Thanksgiving, and the cast couldn't compare with Mel Gibson, let alone the strong publicity of dannilis and Warner Brothers. Therefore, it's reasonable that the box office of the new version exceeded the original version by $30 million.
The box office of ”flying over innocence” exceeded 100 million yuan, and the contract signed by danelis entertainment with Warner Bros. in exchange for the two major copyrights of ”Wonder Woman” and ”spy film” was over.
According to common sense, it is inevitable to develop a sequel to a film whose box office in North America can exceed $170 million.
According to the original contract signed, Warner Bros. has no right to participate in the production of the sequel of ”flying over innocence”. The production of the sequel will be completely under the control of danielis entertainment.
Amy is very interested in making the sequel of ”flying over innocence”, but Simon is not very keen on it.
It's very difficult for this comedy with baby talking as a gimmick to play new tricks in the sequel. In my memory, the box office results of the two sequels of ”flying over innocence” are all in a sharp decline. Simon doesn't think it can make a big breakthrough this time.
Moreover, he has participated in two blockbusters with a box office of over 100 million a year, and Mel Gibson's salary has further increased. For ”lethal weapons 3”, which was discussed with Warner, Mel Gibson directly offered a base salary of $8 million plus 20% of the net profit share.
The box office of ”over the air innocence” is expected to be higher than that of ”lethal weapon 3” in the summer season. If a sequel is developed, Mel Gibson's price will certainly be higher than that of ”lethal weapon 3”.
Although with the foundation of the first film, making a sequel of ”flying over innocence” is sure to make some money, but if the production is started, the sequel will certainly occupy a period of high-quality schedule next year. With other better options, this potential time cost is not what Simon is willing to bear.
Therefore, Simon does not intend to easily approve the production of the sequel of ”flying over innocence” until he has a better idea than the original.
In addition to ”flying over innocence,” scream 2's box office fell 21% this week, closing another $5.11 million, with a cumulative box office of $98.17 million, which is expected to exceed $100 million next week. However, next week's box office will drop to less than $5 million. Under the attack of ”Batman” and other heavyweight films, it is very difficult for the total box office of this juvenile horror film to exceed $110 million in North America.
In the third week of release, the box office decline of Gucci imprint remained at a very good 19%, with another $6.39 million. In three weeks, the total box office was $23.86 million.
Gucci has invested all the expected profits in the publicity of the film. However, according to the investment of danilisi entertainment, the box office has exceeded $20 million, and the company has begun to make profits.
Encouraged by the success of Gucci mark, other well-known luxury brands and Hollywood studios have begun to contact each other, trying to copy the success of Gucci mark in brand marketing and box office. Danielis entertainment also signed a contract with Madonna, publicly announcing the project of Madonna's documentary for next year's global tour.
Finally, ”driving for Miss Daisy” won more than $23000 a week in the first week of its release, with 32 screens and excellent media reputation, reaching $750000 in the first week.
The production cost of the film, which is adapted from a famous stage play and tells about racial issues, is only 7 million US dollars. The small-scale opening of the first week's on-demand drawing has won 750000 US dollars at the box office. The box office prospect of the film is worth looking forward to.
Then, on December 16, the day after the box office data came out last week, the nominations for the new Golden Globe Awards were announced.
Denise Entertainment's two films, ”my left foot” and ”driving for Miss Daisy”, produced by gaomen pictures, have won five important nominations.Among them, ”my left foot” won two nominations for best actor and best supporting actress. ”Driving for Miss Daisy” was nominated for best picture, best actor and best actress in musical comedy.
In short, the summer box office blockbuster ”psychic Sixth Sense” is also very qualified to be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards. If the film is declared, the four nominations of best picture, best screenwriter, best actor and best supporting actor are very likely.
However, due to the controversy over the film's screenwriting and the consideration of making way for ”my left foot” and ”driving for Miss Daisy”, danelis entertainment voluntarily gave up the idea of applying for the nomination for the film.
It has to be said that ”sixth sense” has been released on December 7. This phenomenal horror film has been released in North American Theaters for 23 weeks. The total box office in North America is 295.38 million US dollars, but it is a pity that it can not exceed 300 million US dollars.
Because the box office in the last few weeks is only $2.3 million, unless you pay directly for the box office, it is impossible to make the box office rebound of sixth sense break through $300 million. Danielis entertainment did not fight for this title any more.
The box office of more than 290 million US dollars has already ranked the top of this year's box office list, and most of the media are inclined to have no film surpassing the box office of the sixth sense at the end of the year.
Moreover, no matter whether it can break through $300 million or not, Denise entertainment has already made a lot of money, and it is impossible for all parties to despise the film because it failed to break through the $300 million mark.
