Chapter 514 (1/2)
On December 18, when the first week of Christmas opened, the box office of the past week was officially released.
From December 11 to December 17, the box office champion of one week was still won by ”kid in charge 2”, which continued to earn $12.39 million in the fourth week.
The sequel to the phenomenal children's comedy has grossed $121.76 million in the past month.
Considering that the box office base in a single week is still more than US $10 million, ”home 2” will at least earn no less than US $5000 in the future, and the total box office in North America is expected to be between us $170 million and US $200 million.
Without Jurassic Park, kid at home 2 would have been the hottest movie across Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.
However, this can only be if.
When the potential dispute between Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group over the DC movie universe was rapidly fermenting in the media, the box office data of Jurassic Park also began to attract attention.
On December 18, in addition to Jurassic Park, there was another North American fantasy comedy toy starring Robin Williams, with a screen size of 1272. The film tells the story of two heirs of a toy factory who use toys to compete for control.
Compared with the 9.3 comprehensive media score of Jurassic Park after the premiere, Robin Williams's new film's reputation can only be described as appalling, with a poor 3.2 comprehensive media score.
In a high-end apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan.
Since his speech at the meeting on Wednesday was exposed, Gerald Levin has been in a certain state of anxiety. The grand viewing of Jurassic Park since its opening yesterday has added a bit of anxiety to Levin's mind.
It's no surprise that Steve Ross will not survive this Christmas. If he had known that, he would not have been eager to seize power.
It's a pity that things have happened and it's too late to regret.
Now we can only hope that there will be no accident in the power transfer process of Time Warner.
Moreover, the biggest variable is a young man.
Gerald Levin, of course, knows the importance of DC movie universe to Time Warner. The speech at the last meeting is just a kind of language strategy to crush Ross' influence. At least, he doesn't really have the heart to renegotiate with Denise entertainment. Once DC movie universe plan is destroyed, even if he has successfully become the CEO of Time Warner, he will be very happy He could be ousted.
I just didn't expect that someone would directly expose it.
Gerald Levin was almost certain that Terry Semel had done it.
However, it is impossible for him to attack the other party.
First of all, he really said what was exposed in the media. Even if he was misinterpreted to some extent, most of the facts could not be refuted.
Second, there is no evidence. Even if the other party breaks the rules and lacks evidence, he can't do anything with Terry Semel.
Denise entertainment didn't seem to react so strongly to the incident, but Gerald Levin was still upset.
The key is the silence of the young man.
Even though Simon westrow was called a kid at the meeting on Wednesday, he knew what it meant to be a kid with a fortune of 65 billion dollars.
Gerald Levin even remembers the original ”bodyguard” original record event, so he understands that the young man who always seems to give people a lack of aggressive feeling, often once launched, will leave no room.
It's hard to say what will happen if the other side gets involved in the power dispute within Time Warner because of his speech at the meeting on Wednesday.
Steve Roth's long-term position as the leader of Time Warner depends largely on the support of a large number of Hollywood's top filmmakers. In the most difficult years of Warner Bros. in the 1980s, the board of directors also launched an action to oust him. The result is Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Barbara Streisand so on A large number of Hollywood bigwigs voiced their support for rose in the media, which eventually led to the dismissal action.
Simon westero's influence in Hollywood at this time is far more than Spielberg and others.
Moreover, Denise entertainment has a close relationship with Time Warner Group because of the cooperation in DC movie universe and other projects.
Even though Levin has been recognized by most people as the successor of Time Warner's chairman, the company is not without competitors. Although Terry Semel and Robert Daley are slightly less qualified than him, if someone supports them, they will pass the Time Warner's chairman position.
Over the past few days, Levin wants to take the initiative to find out each other's thoughts, but he can't let go of his reserve and pride as a senior executive of a media group.
Unconsciously, it was a sleepless night.
Around four o'clock in the morning, the phone rings and Levin sits up on the big bed and picks up the phone.Ignoring his wife's dissatisfied murmur, Levin said a few words to the opposite side, got out of bed, went to the study, turned on the computer, and logged into the igritte portal.
The bold headlines on the website are very eye-catching, even dazzling.
”Jurassic Park broke Spielberg's box office record with $21.76 million on its first day.”
Instead of clicking on the detailed news page, Gerald Levin felt bitter.
The first day is $21.76 million, so the box office of the first weekend should be about $60 million in three days, and $90 million in seven days of the first week.
Ninety million dollars.
Three years ago, Spielberg's ”Raiders 3” grossed just over $46 million in its first week.
Jurassic Park's box office in the first week reached 90 million US dollars, which has fully reached the sales level of DC movie universe project.
At the meeting on Wednesday, Levin proposed to renegotiate with Denise entertainment because Denise entertainment is also very dependent on the DC movie universe and can't easily turn over.
