Chapter 393 (1/2)

Simon can roughly understand the mood of the people around him when they talk about ”kid in charge”.

The North American box office of ”pretty girl” and ”ghost” are nearly $200 million.

Now, it's the same thing with kid's home.

On the other hand, only sleeping with the enemy and the red fans alliance can reach the domestic box office level of US $100 million in the 10 foreign film projects of danielis entertainment, while the other two shakes the cradle hand and ten days in danger are only about US $80 million in box office potential.

Obviously, Simon obviously left the best project for Denise to entertain herself.

What's more, Columbia's Peter Cooper, fox's President Joe Ross and others may be even more puzzled as to why Simon can accurately select these blockbuster films.

For example, John Hughes is one of the most successful film makers in the 1980s, but he has never had a North American box office hit 100 million in the past, and the best local box office results are only about 70 million US dollars.

However, all of a sudden, ”home by the kid” not only broke the embarrassing situation that John Hughes' films could not exceed 100 million, but the total box office in North America seems to be heading for 200 million dollars.

For traditional Hollywood filmmakers, film investment is like gambling. No one can accurately predict whether a film will sell. This is also the reason why Hollywood filmmakers insist that they do not personally participate in film investment as much as possible and only take labor fees.

Simon westero, in recent years, has been breaking the traditional Hollywood filmmaker's perception.

Simon, of course, doesn't answer questions for these people. He just talks about all kinds of trivial things that have happened in Hollywood recently. Now in this circle, if he does not want to, no one can let him take the initiative to disclose some information.

After chatting and socializing, he noticed that his personal lawyer, George Norman, was coming this way with some people. Simon nodded to the crowd and welcomed them with a smile.

Janet had just reminded George that she wanted to introduce some people to him tonight, mostly friends in his circle.

Simon and the Normans greet each other and look at each other casually. They are caught by the other couple unexpectedly.

The man in this couple is 40 or 50 years old, with dark complexion and obvious Latino origin. Women look much younger. They are in their thirties. They have short black hair and fair skin. They have the delicate charm of the rich ladies in Los Angeles.

Most importantly, Simon recognized the couple's identity at a glance, especially the identity of a woman, Robert and Chris Kardashian. If history does not change, the latter will be renamed Chris Jenna later. This is a powerful woman who later built the ”entertainment Kennedy family”.

Simon has seen too many people in the past few years who can only appear in the news. Although he once again laments that the world is too small, his face does not show any special expression.

However, at a glance of Simon, it's probably a woman's unique acuity. Four years ago, the young man just came to Los Angeles, stayed in a motel, worked as a part-time job, and was completely destitute. How could he donate $500000?

However, there is no doubt about the fact.

On the day when the Los Angeles Times exposed the news, a senior executive of the United Nations Children's fund confirmed the news in an interview with CNN.

Other media subsequently exposed a series of information, further confirmed the accuracy of this information.

Simon westero did donate the half million dollars.

It's unbelievable.

Although Simon didn't publicly respond to the donation of $500000 in winter, the fact is that Simon, who had the upper hand in the public opinion caused by Matthew Broderick, unconsciously began to win more people's favor.

Another piece of news is also eye-catching, which is the box office of the first week of ”kid in charge”.

From December 21 to December 27, ”home by the kid” won the top spot in other films of the same period. In the first seven days of the first week, it grossed 41.93 million US dollars.

Under the impact of the strong box office data of ”kid at home”, only Universal Pictures' kindergarten SWAT barely broke through the $10 million mark in the first week of the other eight new films in the same period, and other large-scale new films such as Blair De Palma's ”bonfire of vanity” and Sean Connery's ”house of Russia” all took only $5 million in the first week Six million dollars.

However, this is only the beginning.

On December 28, in the new week, North American Theaters again launched a series of new films.

This week, however, only Sidney Pollack's and Robert Redford's ”Havana” and Francis Ford Coppola's ”Godfather 3” are on the show.

Godfather 3 is a long-awaited movie.However, the film's early audition reputation is not satisfactory, Coppola's daughter Sophia Coppola's performance in the film has attracted one-sided criticism.

Havana, starring Robert Redford, tells the story of a gambler's ups and downs in the changing environment of Cuba in the late 1950s, but it doesn't splash much.
