Chapter 979 (1/2)

Mia koshner arrived at danelis studios in Malibu half an hour ahead of the 10 a.m. production meeting of ”soul shifting girl”.

With ”Little Women” nominated for Best Actress Oscar, and now has ”guillotine” such a blockbuster, Mia koshner has become one of Hollywood's fastest-growing new stars, and until now, the girl is only 21 years old.

Many 21-year-old actresses may still be in Hollywood, waiting for a chance to run the Dragon suit.

Mia koshner, who was born as a child star, can realize the value of her career.

She took Shirley, the maid of the Uygur family who had been equipped for her, to the office building No. 3 of the administrative district. No one else had arrived yet. The reception staff was even surprised that the biggest actress in ”soul shifting girl” could arrive ahead of time, but MIA couldn't tell some of her own caution.

They are waiting in a rest room for a while. Shirley, the waitress, makes a phone call and goes out. After a while, she shakes her head in Mia's expectant eyes and says, ”it's said over there that Mr. westrow is attending a meeting and only replies will help us mention it.”

Mia's eyes suddenly showed a disappointed expression, a little resentment.

I came to danielis studios in advance, of course, because I wanted to meet him, but I couldn't.

In any case, Mia will not reveal to others that she and he have not had sex up to now. Therefore, we all take it for granted that she is one of his many lovers. In fact, it is not worthy of the name.

Entering this circle, Mia grew up and was beautiful. Along the way, Mia also encountered a lot of entanglement. After meeting him, all these covets disappeared. It was a miracle that she could live like a princess in Hollywood. Therefore, deep in her heart, Mia was more attached to the man who could count the number of times she had met with one hand than her father It's a very good feeling.

A sense of security.

Men have no time to see themselves, Mia lost for a while, waiting for Shirley to bring him a cup of coffee, also handed over a copy of today's latest ”Hollywood Reporter” magazine, finally picked up some spirit.

This reminds me that today is Friday.

From July 4 to July 11, an eight day Independence Day holiday box office week ended yesterday.

Today's Hollywood Reporter lists the past eight days as a separate box office week, mainly because last week's three major new films were released one day earlier on Thursday, July 4, rather than Friday. Therefore, the data of this week overlaps with the previous box office week.

In any case, the key is the box office.

In the face of the sniping of the three new films ”Birdcage”, ”brave island” and ”mirage”, in the past eight days, ”Brokeback Valley” still won the first place in the box office of a single week, earning $46.73 million in eight days. If you subtract the $9.22 million on July 4, the next week's seven-day revenue was $37.51 million, a year-on-year decrease of only 27%.

Within two weeks of its release, Tim Burton's well-known fantasy horror movie quickly grossed $88.9 million.

This momentum has far exceeded the original air ”guillotine” local total box office just over 100 million related data.

The second place is still occupied by 007 ghost party instead of last week's new films.

In the fourth week, the box office revenue of ”007 ghost party” was $35.62 million in the previous eight days, minus $8.19 million on July 4, and $27.43 million in the past seven days. It was also due to the sharp increase in the number of viewers during the Independence Day holiday, with a box office decline of only 29%.

Nearly a month after the opening of the film, the cumulative box office of ”007 ghost party” officially broke through the $200 million mark, reaching $211.42 million.

Last week's July 4 was the last heavyweight film opening week of the summer program in 1996. No matter ”Birdcage” or ”brave island” or ”mirage”, it was highly valued by the corresponding producers. Then, because the Atlanta Olympic Games is coming, there will be no other heavyweight films in this summer program.

In fact, it also means that no matter ”guillotine” or ”007's ghost party” or other films before, they can resist the impact of last three new films, and then they can harvest the box office relatively calmly

therefore, according to the box office volume of ”007's ghost party” which can still maintain $27.42 million in seven days last week, plus the success of the local box office It is basically a matter of time before the US $200 million mark is broken and the estimated US $300 million is reached.

Even guillotine's domestic $150 million forecast has proved conservative because of the box office performance that exceeded expectations next week.

All this, in the final analysis, is because the box office of the three highly anticipated new films on July 4 is not satisfactory.

After the top two on the list, Disney's brave Island finally took the third place.

However, compared with the box office success of Michael Bay's version, this time, only Sean Connery was retained, and the other two creators, Michael Bay and Nicholas Cage, did not appear. They even lost the control of legendary Hollywood producer Jerry brookheimer. The comprehensive media score of the film after last week's opening was only meagre 6.1 points for a strong pass.As for Sean Connery's many colored eggs related to 007, which were deliberately buried in the film by the producers, they were also criticized by the film critics, with the suspicion of being popular.

After all, the real 007 ghost party is on.

As a result, the blockbuster bomb action blockbuster, which cost US $70 million to build, started on July 4, with only US $26.59 million in the first eight days of the week.

Of course, this achievement is not a failure, but it is also far lower than Disney's initial box office expectation of more than $40 million in the first week. After all, it is a blessing of the Independence Day holiday. In the first eight days of the week, Disney didn't even get $30 million, which is not a success in any case.

Moreover, if there is no competition between ”guillotine” and ”007 ghost party”, depending on the long-term revenue in the future, ”brave island” may be able to impact the 100 million yuan box office club. Now, the possibility is really slim, and the local box office is more likely to be between 70 million and 80 million US dollars.

With $30 million in publicity expenses, the budget scale of ”brave island” and ”guillotine” is just the same, both of which are $100 million. However, compared with the two-week cumulative box office of ”guillotine” which reached 88.9 million US dollars, ”brave island” will undoubtedly be a lot bleak.

The fourth place on the list was won by MGM's same-sex comedy bird cage.

In the first eight days of the week, the opening box office of bird cage was $23.91 million.

Compared with the production cost of $31 million and the box office of more than $20 million in the first week, this medium budget comedy is sure to be a success. However, compared with the original time and space in the ninth annual box office, the cumulative outstanding results of more than 100 million, in the face of a series of blockbuster squeeze, ”Birdcage” this time is expected to 60 million U.S. dollars at the local box office, suddenly appears unsatisfactory.

After all, the capacity of the film market is limited. In the summer of 1996, the competition was not so fierce.
