Chapter 515 (1/2)
Under the impact of Jurassic Park, the box office performance of other films in the first week of the Christmas show was unsatisfactory.
Under normal circumstances, with the coming of the festival, most of the two movies around Christmas will have a reverse decline, but this time it didn't happen. Even in the week of December 18 to December 24, the box office data of kid in charge 2, which is most suitable for the theme of the festival, fell by as much as 17%.
In the fifth week of release, the box office revenue of ”kid at home 2” was $10.29 million, and the cumulative box office revenue reached $132.05 million.
Because of this reason, the danilisi entertainment distribution team had to lower its local box office expectation for ”kid in charge 2”. The original expectation of up to $200 million is certainly difficult to achieve. At best, it is estimated that it can only reach about $170 million on the original time line.
At the same time as Jurassic Park, Robin Williams's fantasy comedy ”toys” was even more direct on the street, with a box office of only $5.31 million in the first seven days of the week.
In the same week, on Monday, December 21, the nominations for the 50th Golden Globe Awards were officially announced.
Danylis Entertainment's ”crying game” won three nominations for best film, best supporting actor and best screenplay in the plot category. As the focus of the award season in 1993, ”smell and know women” won six nominations for best film, best actor, best director, best supporting actor and best screenplay in the plot category.
With the announcement of the nominations, the two films again received the attention of the media and the public.
Crying game, which started on September 25, has been released for 13 weeks up to December 24. The total box office in North America has reached US $51.63 million, and the box office in a single week has fallen to less than US $4 million. The box office revenue in seven days from December 18 to December 24 is only US $3.13 million.
Gaomen film industry has focused on the promotion of ”smell and know women”. Therefore, taking advantage of the east wind of the award season and properly expanding the screening scale, crying game will probably earn another 1500 yuan. Finally, the domestic box office in North America is expected to be between $65 million and $70 million.
Compared to the $3 million production cost of the film, this is already a miracle.
After two weeks of screening, the painting ”smell the fragrance and know the woman” opened on November 13, the number of screens officially opened on November 27.
As of December 24, the cumulative box office of ”smell and know a woman” had reached $30.11 million in the four weeks after its large-scale release.
In view of the awarding season in the next few months, ”smell and know a woman” will be the focus of danielis Entertainment's awards. The local box office of this art drama starring Al Pacino will at least reach the same level as ”crying game”.
On December 25, the second week of the Christmas season, three new films continued to be released in North American theaters.
Warner Bros.'s the end of time, starring Mel Gibson, has 1710 screens.
Simon's memory, the film's original heroine is Jamie Lee Curtis, this time, the heroine changed to Meg Ryan.
It's obviously Simon, the big butterfly.
However, Simon didn't intervene. He hoped that the heroine of the film would still be Jamie Lee Curtis. He just thought that Curtis, who is full of manly atmosphere, could not have any spark with Mel Gibson. It's not a film of dannerys entertainment. Of course, the worse the better.
Of course, even if the heroine is replaced by Meg Ryan, the end of the year is doomed to be crushed by Jurassic Park.
Two other new films.
Paramount Pictures' miracle of heaven, starring Steve Martin, tells the story of a swindler touring the country and performing everywhere, with 1554 screens.
Fox's Hoffa, a biographical crime drama starring Jack Nicholson, is obviously aiming for the award season, with 1066 screens.
New York, long island.
In a synagogue in East Hampton.
It's December 27.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Steve Roth's funeral was held here.
The Jewish pastor introduced Rose's life, and then relatives, friends and colleagues came to the stage to give speeches. The funeral lasted until noon, and everyone returned to the rose family's manor in East Hampton to have dinner.
Lunch was self-help and the atmosphere was solemn.
”Simon, I've been thinking about one thing recently. I hope that I can dedicate Schindler's list to Steve at the same time.”
In the hall of the manor villa, Simon and his wife once again expressed their sympathy to Rose's widow Courtney rose, and Steven Spielberg next to them suddenly said so.
”Schindler's list” in my memory is the work of Universal Pictures, but at the end of the film, the words ”dedicated to Steve Roth” are specially marked.
Simon naturally did not mind at this time. He nodded, ”sure, no problem. Steven, Schindler has the final say.”
Spielberg originally wanted to explain his specific ideas. Seeing that Simon said so, he didn't say much, just a little more thanks in his eyes.Courtney rose was also moved: ”Oh, Steven, and Simon, thank you so much.”
”That's what we should do, Ms. Ross.”
”So,” Courtney Ross looked at Simon and said, ”Simon, I'm going to organize a memorial service for Steve next month. Can you spare time to attend it?”
Simonton nodded in front of Courtney Rose's eager eyes: ”OK, just let me know.”
Janet, standing quietly next to Simon with a dinner plate, turned her lips slightly when she heard the conversation.
Speaking of all, Courtney rose is Steve Rose's third wife, more than 20 years younger than rose, the standard husband and wife. Compared with Steve Roth's high EQ in dealing with people, Courtney Roth is not very pleasant in this circle.
Like the invitation just now.
Simon and rose are not very close friends. It's a great honor to be able to come back from Australia to attend the funeral.
Ross's memorial ceremony should have been invited in private. If Simon has time to attend, naturally it's best. If he doesn't have time, it won't hurt his face if he quietly refuses. At this time, in front of others at the lunch after the funeral, Simon had to promise in order to avoid obvious embarrassment.
Moreover, in the face of Spielberg, who almost has a father son relationship with Ross, Courtney Ross is too enthusiastic about Simon, which will inevitably appear snobbish.
Courtney Ross obviously didn't realize that.
This woman may only see that with Simon's present wealth, if he can attend Ross's memorial ceremony, it will certainly add some glory to the event. As for Spielberg next to her, she probably felt that even if she didn't mention it, it was natural for her partner to attend the Ross memorial ceremony.
