Hearing Kristine's question, Simon nodded, showed her the document in his hand, and said, "If you want to see it, I'll ask them to send a copy."
Kristin Scott Thomas glanced at the numbers on the document in the man's hand and said deliberately, "But I want to see the IMAX version. I heard the visual effects are very shocking."
Simon smiled and said: "Then there is no way to deliver it to your home, but I can have someone arrange a VIP session for you, um, and Julie, can you go watch it together in the morning?"
Juliette Binoche was looking at the numbers on the report in the man's hand, feeling a little unreal. When she heard this, she raised her head and said: "There are only two of us in the hall with hundreds of people. Simon, I don't want that luxury."
The current IMAX screening halls owned by Daenerys are halls with hundreds of people. After all, where the cost is, it is difficult for small halls to break even.
This situation will only change after digital promotion in the future.
Kristine actually wanted to be extravagant and asked in anticipation: "Simon, are you free to watch it with us?"
"I have watched the samples too many times in private. You know, if you eat a dish over and over again, you will get tired of it."
Christine pretended to sigh in disappointment, and then teasingly touched Juliette Binoche's pretty face in the man's arms: "Simon, you're not tired of this dish yet, are you?"
Juliet blushed again, opened her mouth and bit Kristine's finger. Seeing the other person gasping in pain and withdrawing her hand, she counterattacked: "You are the dish."
Simon smiled and let the cats fight, turning his eyes to the report in his hand.
The two women had no intention of taking action. They bickered for a few more words, but quickly stopped and looked at the documents together.
After a moment, Juliet couldn't hold it back and said in disbelief: "Simon, there are 46.37 million US dollars in just one day. Is this... really?"
According to Juliette Binoche, even for many blockbuster movies, the box office in a week is about more than 40 million U.S. dollars. However, most of the movies that this literary actress has starred in in the past have a total box office of more than 40 million US dollars. , not even that much!
On the first day, it exceeded 46 million. In a whole week, wouldn’t it be worth 200 million US dollars
Two hundred million!
Simon felt the delicious fragrance of the woman in his arms, rubbed his chin on her tilted face, and said with a smile: "More than 5,000 opening screens, as well as all IMAX theaters in North America, 46 million on the first day , very normal.”
Julia was flinched by the man's light stubble, but she felt inexplicably fond of a certain feeling in her heart. She wanted to get closer, but was embarrassed, so she could only continue the topic being discussed: "In this case, um... This movie is the first In one week, the box office will exceed 200 million US dollars, right?"
"No surprise, that should be the case."
46.37 million on the first day. It is easy to calculate that the three-day box office number for the first weekend should reach about 140 million. For seven days, even if next Thursday is Thanksgiving, many potential viewers will give up going out to watch movies and dine with their families, but this does not prevent " "Justice League: Invasion" grossed over $200 million in its full week.
Seeing the lively conversation between the two, Kristine interjected: "It's incredible. When will I be able to star in a movie that has a box office of over 200 million US dollars in its first week?"
"It takes luck," Simon said, "but if you don't mind the size of the role, you can make a cameo in some super blockbusters."
Whether it's the original "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" or the later "Titanic" or this "Justice League: Invasion", the box office volume in North America alone is 6.7 billion US dollars. After all, it is a phenomenon. Very few levels.
At present, the local volume of most blockbuster films is still around US$300 million.
For example, the "Lord of the Rings" series.
Therefore, it takes a lot of luck for Kristen to star in such a film.
The only thing Simon is relatively sure about is probably the future "Avengers" gathering of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that is being planned.
Kristine raised her hand to put on Simon's shoulder, tilted her body a little more, and said with expectation: "Simon, what if I mind?"
Cameo
So insincere!
Before Simon could speak, the outspoken Juliet had already destroyed the situation: "Then you will never have a chance."
Christine: “…”
If the man was not here anymore, she would definitely not be able to help but reach out and pinch that little mouth.
Very talkative.
Please open your mouth wider and speak harder!
When the three people chatted about the first-day box office of "Justice League: Invasion", related discussions were abuzz in North America and even around the world.
Most of them were cheers, admirations and sighs, but there was also some dissent.
For example, the high box office on the first day of "Justice League: Invasion" has the most direct impact on other films in the same period.
Although most new films have chosen to avoid it, there is still a comedy film produced by Paramount on the line at the same time. This is the latest family comedy from Leslie Nielsen, called "Mr. Gardener", which tells the story of a Various interesting events in a middle-class town revolve around a private garden competition with a prize of $100,000.
This heartwarming comedy, which cost 30 million US dollars and is also very suitable for the upcoming Thanksgiving atmosphere, received an overall passing media score of 6.7, which is not a bad film. However, it was strongly crushed by "Justice League: Invasion" , the box office on the first day was only a measly US$780,000.
That's right, it's 780,000, not 7.8 million.
It grossed US$780,000 on the first day. It is expected that the film's box office will only be just over US$3 million in the entire week.
It's destined to be a box office disaster.
In addition to this poor new film, even blockbuster old films such as "Scream 2" and "The Conjuring 4: The Dead" have received a much more severe impact than most people had previously imagined.
Among them, "Scream 2" is only in its second week of release. The single-day drop on the past Friday was as high as 63% year-on-year. If this trend continues for the entire week, the total box office of this movie in a single week will drop from the first week. of US$41.43 million plummeted to around US$15 million.
There is no longer any possibility of breaking 100 million locally.
The first part of this project achieved outstanding results of US$146 million in North America.
In short, the result of "Justice League: Invasion"'s unique success is undoubtedly that other flowers have withered.
On the Facebook platform, a film critic with more than 300,000 fans expressed strong concerns about this, believing that the excessive prosperity of super blockbusters such as "Justice League: Invasion" should be curbed, because behind this seemingly prosperous situation, there may be It will damage the foundation of Hollywood and make the American film market lose the living space for other types of films.
When these remarks came out, they quickly aroused a lot of resonance.
Speaking of which, this is consistent with Simon's private views, which is not to be too monopolized by blockbusters and to maintain the diversity of Hollywood.
However, while there is widespread debate, many people also have to admit the fact that the structure of the Hollywood film industry has unconsciously undergone fundamental changes.
To put it simply, it is still the Matthew effect. The strong become stronger and the weak gradually lose their living space.
Just take "Justice League: Invasion". According to the first-day box office estimates, North America has reached the US$700 million local box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" five years ago. It's not a big problem. The world is likely to hit the 2 billion mark again. .
If the goal is achieved, this means that even if the total cost of the project reaches US$350 million, Daenerys and Time Warner will be able to reap nearly US$500 million in profits during the global theatrical release stage.
It's just a movie with a profit of 500 million US dollars. What is the concept
Take this year's Fortune 500 companies as an example. Among the 500 most powerful companies in the world, there are 224 companies with annual profits of less than US$500 million, or nearly half. In other words, the revenue of a movie "Justice League: Invasion", well... it is only the box office revenue during the theatrical release stage, which exceeds the annual profits of nearly half of the world's 500 most powerful companies.
This does not include the toys, clothing, games and many other peripherals that were hot-selling during the same period of "Justice League: Invasion".
Not to mention the follow-up.
With the scale of "Justice League: Invasion", not to mention the rental market that is currently at its peak, even in the future TV channels, if TV stations want to purchase the broadcast rights in the future, they will definitely play them on a pay-per-view basis, not to mention monthly or annual subscriptions. And so on, and the price quoted for each broadcast will not be lower than tens of millions of dollars.
Therefore, even if the global market continues to expand and peripheral channels continue to enrich, a super blockbuster like "Justice League: Invasion" still seems too dazzling. The more direct impact of this dazzling film is that it unknowingly crowds out the living space of many other movies.
Many people, including Simon, can understand this trend, but it is not easy to reverse it.
