Chapter 881 (1/2)

During the period when the Simon family went to Australia to visit their relatives and return, numerous media and public attention in North America still focused on the box office of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice.

From January 5 to January 11, the first full box office week of 1996, as the Festival passed, the North American film market began to cool significantly. The third week's ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” has finally ushered in its first significant box office shrinkage since the opening of the film.

However, the actual decline was only 43%.

Far less than some media forecasts of at least a cut in the decline trend.

The box office volume of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice in the second week still exceeded 128 million US dollars of more than 99% of Hollywood films. This time, the box office volume of Batman vs. Superman in the third week still reached 73.46 million US dollars. In three weeks, the cumulative box office of the DC movie universe Super Big Mac reached 379.51 million US dollars.

If the two-week cumulative box office of the Christmas show still makes it doubtful whether the North American box office that surpasses batwar will hit the threshold of $600 million, when the box office data of the third week is released, people's focus is how far the film can go after breaking through $600 million.

In the third week after the film was released, the box office volume still exceeded 70 million US dollars. Unless there is a special event like the outbreak of the Third World War, no one will doubt whether the super Batman war can recover 220 million US dollars.

It is not impossible to recover 300 million or more.

In this case, ”Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice” may even continue to be the first film in North American film history to break through the $700 million box office.

It's not impossible.

In terms of inflation, many films in American history have reached the domestic box office level of $700 million by 1996 standards.

Because of the success of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice”, from the end of 1995 to the beginning of 1996, all other films in the North American film market were eclipsed. This year's 53rd American film and television Golden Globe Awards will be held on January 21. Even companies, including Danielle Reese entertainment, are working hard for their own nominations and subsequent Oscars However, the media and public attention of related topics is still far lower than that of last year.

The attention is not here at all.

It is a pity that ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” did not declare its nomination.

As for the reason.

It's not that I'm afraid I won't be nominated, or that the producers are not interested in the Golden Globe nomination, mainly for the sake of confidentiality.

Absolutely confidential.

The nomination rules of the Golden Globe awards are different from those of the Oscars. The Nominated Golden Globe awards are usually announced before Christmas in December. It is not necessary to declare the film. It must be shown before the nomination is announced. It only needs to be shown in a designated cinema in Los Angeles for the members of the Golden Globe Association of foreign journalists to be eligible for declaration.

The nomination for the 53rd Golden Globe Award was announced on December 11 last year. The release date of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” is December 22. If it is shown to members of the Foreign Press Association in advance, at least the nomination for best picture of musical comedy will be confirmed.

However, both danielis and Warner Brothers have racked their brains to keep the plot of the film secret. Before the film was released, the media from all sides did whatever they could to dig out all kinds of insider stories related to the plot. If you look at the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, you can't be flattered by the integrity of these people. If the plot of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” is leaked in advance because of the internal screening for a nomination, it's not worth the loss.

Just give up completely.

As a result, the popularity of the super baton war is still flourishing in January, but the Golden Globe award can not be touched.

Now we are more interested in this award season, is whether the super Batman war can be nominated for best picture Oscar. After all, gone with the wind, great white shark, Exorcist, star wars and other films that made phenomenal achievements at the box office at that time all won at least one Oscar nomination for best picture, which is also phenomenal bat Chivalry vs. Superman: Dawn of justice, there's no reason not to get it.

With the awarding season coming, 1995, which is regarded as an Oscar year in Simon's eyes due to the lack of some phenomenal movies, is very competitive, whether it is the Golden Globe Award to be held soon or the Oscar in March.

Take Denise for example.

Because of his personal relationship, Simon's new Catherine film ”Detroit”, which is most valued by Simon, won nothing in the Golden Globe nomination this time. It is estimated that the same is true for the Oscars. The first week's screening, the media evaluation is regular. In other words, the next week's large-scale production of 1531 screens, and the box office is only 6.97 million US dollars, even if the local box office can exceed 10 million US dollars.

According to the survey of the publicity and development team, the main reason is that both the media and individuals are not interested in or willing to mention this ”remote” subject. In this era of increasingly serious political correctness, what attitude should we take towards a black riot that took place in the 1960s?praise?

Is it an awakening, a cry and a revolt of the black people at the bottom?

Jokes.

Criticism?

Who dares to criticize?

Are you racist, are you racist, are you racist?

A little inattention may cause protests from black civil rights organizations, and even make some media people lose their jobs.

So it's cold.

Simon actually has a way to add fuel to the situation. At least, if he wants to, it's OK to win a nomination for Catherine.

Simon did not, however.

It's also a kind of protection.

After all, it's politically correct.

As for the loss of the $30 million project, it's nothing to Denise entertainment.

Katherine's ”Detroit” directly withdrew from the competition of the award season. On danielis Entertainment's side, the upcoming Golden Globe Award still won two best picture nominations, namely, the best picture nomination for plot, Ang Lee's new film ”sense and emotion”, the best picture nomination for musical comedy, and the best picture nomination for 3D animated film ”beauty and beast”.

This is also the result of repeated internal weighing of danielis entertainment.

You know, even if Simon's ”Detroit” pulled out of the competition, last year's danielis entertainment films, which were expected to win two best picture nominations of the Golden Globe Award, included ”McMullen brothers”, ”this man from Earth”, ”Jurassic Park 2”, ”Apollo 13”, ”walking on death row” and so on.

Among them, ”Apollo 13” was once the best picture nominees of the plot category.

This time I chose to give up.
