Chapter 456 (1/2)
On December 27, there were three new films in North American Theaters, namely ”fried green tomatoes” by universal pictures, fox's ”for the boys” and Warner Brothers' ”the waves of time”.
However, neither Denise Entertainment's ”fried green tomatoes” taken over from universal, fox film's ”for the boys” nor Warner Bros.'s ”the waves of time” directed and starred by Barbara Streisand show any threat to ”flash.”.
After the box office of $72.86 million in the first week and three days in the next weekend, the box office of ”flash” fell only 27% compared with that of the first weekend, closing another $36.01 million.
In ten days, the cumulative box office of the superhero hit 100 million US dollars, reaching 108.87 million US dollars.
After ”flash”, the production budget of $30 million of ”years of wonder” ranked second. The three-day revenue of this feature film was $10.03 million. Although it could not be compared with ”flash”, it also met Warner's expectations.
However, the comprehensive media score of the film is only 6.8. Even if danielis entertainment takes the initiative to retreat, Warner Bros. pictures will have a lot of difficulties in winning the Oscars with this film. After all, not to mention anything else, just gaomen film's previous ”farewell to the piano” got a media score of 9.2.
Fox film's for the boys is an old-fashioned musical and dance film, starring Hollywood actor James Kahn who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for godfather, and director Mark reddell for best director for golden pond.
As a package project of CAA, the budget scale of the song and dance film reaches 40 million US dollars.
However, after the film started with 1308 screens, the box office results were a disaster for fox.
With a production budget of 40 million US dollars, the box office only received 4.53 million US dollars in the first three days of the painting.
As a genre film with Oscar ambition, ”for the boys” has a poor media score of 4.3.
According to such media reputation and box office opening, the total box office of ”for the boys” in North America is likely to stop at less than $20 million, and fox will suffer a huge loss of tens of millions of dollars.
The last new film, fried green tomato, is starred by Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker and other actresses. It tells the story of a pair of girls growing up together and establishing deep friendship in a small town in Alabama in the south of the United States in the early 20th century.
The theme of ”fried green tomato” is very similar to that of Denise Entertainment's stage play adaptation film ”steel magnolia flower” two years ago. The same conservative southern town, the same female theme, conveys the same warm elements about family, friendship and love.
In addition, ”fried green tomato” has the lowest budget of this week's three new films, just $11 million.
Globegroup originally planned to make ”fried green tomato” a prize winning film. However, danilisi entertainment has enough prize winning projects this year, and it doesn't intend to really hit the Oscars. Simon remembers that ”fried green tomato” also made a great box office performance. The film was directly released as a commercial film, with a screen size of 1021 yuan.
After three days of painting, fried green tomato not only scored 7.4 points better than ”years of wonder”, but also successfully earned $9.63 million, ranking third behind ”years of wonder” in this weekend's box office list.
Toy Story fell 17% to close at $9.15 million this weekend compared with the same period last week, lagging behind flash, the storm of time and fried green tomatoes, ranking fourth at the box office of the week.
At the same time, the cumulative box office of toy story also reached 154.51 million US dollars, steadily hitting 200 million US dollars.
Captain hawk continued to earn $7.87 million in its third weekend, down 19% from the same period last week, ranking fifth on the list, with a cumulative box office of $40.05 million.
Oliver Stone's ”the assassination of Kennedy” has a weak box office result of $4.69 million in the third weekend, ahead of fox's new film ”for the boys”. Because of bad luck, this historical drama with good reputation and full of gimmicks has only $23.68 million in the third weekend.
According to the sustained slight decline of 13% last week and 19% this week, ”the assassination of Kennedy” is still expected to hit the box office of $50 million after a long-term screening.
Of course, compared with the production budget of 40 million US dollars, Paramount Pictures, the producer, is under great pressure to recover the cost.
Moreover, under the circumstances that danielis entertainment actively withdraws from this year's Oscar competition, ”assassinating Kennedy” will undoubtedly become the most powerful competitor of ”the storm of time”.
In addition, this week's list is also worth mentioning gaomen film's ”farewell to the piano”.
Because of the strategy of small-scale and long-term projection, this artistic film with excellent reputation has not been in a prominent position on the list since its inception.
However, after the opening of the film on December 6, the box office of ”farewell to the piano” has been steadily increasing. After the screen size increased to 335 yuan last week, from December 20 to December 26, the film gained 5.69 million US dollars in one fell swoop, reaching 17000 US dollars in the Museum. Taking into account the previous small-scale screening, the total box office of ”farewell to the piano” is 9.1 million US dollars.In the new week that started on December 27, the screening scale of ”farewell to the piano” continued to increase to 556 yuan, and it earned 4.76 million US dollars again in three days over the weekend, with a cumulative box office of 13.86 million US dollars.
Not only that, in the new Golden Globe nominations announced on December 23, ”farewell to the piano” also won six nominations, including best film, best director and best actress in the plot category.
Considering that ”farewell to the piano” has a production budget of only $7 million, this niche art film is expected to bring more profits to danielis entertainment than many big movies scheduled at the end of the year.
After the last weekend of 1991, the new year's day of 1992 is approaching.
The external disturbances, including the great changes in Eastern Europe, did not affect the Simon family to spend a lively and warm Christmas.
December 31, the last day of 1991, was a Tuesday.
Claire Gaines, the c-girl, arrived outside the domay point estate at about 10:30 a.m.
Because she was no longer the maid of the westrow family, the security guard also checked the appointment when she entered the house, and confirmed that there was no mistake, so girl C was allowed to drive into the manor.
This kind of detail can't help but let C girl inexplicably some more lost.
Driving on the corridor of the manor and looking out through the window, the whole manor is obviously still immersed in the festive atmosphere. The surroundings are dressed like a colorful fairy tale world, which is obviously different from the atmosphere of last Christmas.
I knew that it was obviously because of the birth of a little guy.
After stopping in front of shell villa, Claire saw a couple of girls changing the color decoration on the lamp post by the corridor. Christmas is over, and ordinary people obviously won't do it, but it seems that they want to continue the festival atmosphere.
This is the girl in the team led by housekeeper Alice Ferguson. Of course, Claire also knows her. Zoe parks, with big eyes and a little baby face, seems to be confused with Alice.
Girls actually know the sexuality of housekeepers.
Another is Isabel Dunn. Isabel's most obvious feature is that she has the hottest figure among all the girls. Even women can't help but feel the undulation of her chest.
As time went on, Claire became more and more aware that the hostess was deliberately putting a group of beautiful and exquisite vases beside the man.
If you see too much of anything, it's too easy to get it, and it will produce resistance.
Think of the stars in Hollywood who have sex scandals with their beautiful wives and ugly maids. Claire thinks Janet is really smart.
Of course, the premise is that the man should have enough self-control.
Even Claire could not help sighing.
The outside world is full of rumors that their boss is sitting on the flowers, but in fact it is far from that.
The girls know in private that a large group of vases are around them, and they all have the idea that they don't mind having an affair with the man. However, up to now, a guy has not touched any of them, not even during the pregnancy of the hostess.
It seems that collecting them around is just for pleasure.
It seems, it seems, it really is
after greeting Zoe and Isabel, Claire enters the shell villa, and there are girls busy in the spacious hall.
She went straight to the housekeeper who was holding a folder and directing other girls to tidy up the huge Christmas tree in the middle of the hall. After a few words of greeting, Alice pointed to the west side of the hall and said, ”madam is in the gym.”
Claire nodded to the other girls and walked to the gym with a smile, but with a little sympathy for the housekeeper who had been pressed by Simon.
