Bob White was not dazed by Simon's remarks, and his tone was a little more sour: "The problem is, Simon, most of your so-called 'tent poles' in recent years have come from Daenerys Entertainment. That's pretty unfair, isn't it?"

"You're wrong, Bob. Compared to other fields, Hollywood's competition is the fairest. As long as you can make a good enough movie, the audience will buy it. Daenerys Entertainment has only done better in recent years. That's it, we're not stopping other studios from making great movies, that's someone else's problem."

"Okay," Bob White didn't mean to continue arguing, and stopped detouring, said: "Simon, I came to Los Angeles this time to hope that Warner Bros. can develop more superheroes in addition to the existing dc series. hero movie."

Simon restrained his expression: "If I remember correctly, Bob, Terry should be in charge of Warner's film business."

"Yes, but it's clear that Terry is not doing his due diligence in this regard, at least when it comes to the development of superhero movies, he has completely failed to inspire the potential of the DC brand."

"So, what I want to know is" Simon looked at Bob White: "Does Jack know about this?"

Bob White paused and said, "I haven't told him yet."

Simon directly raised his glass to White and said, "In this case, have a good time tonight. Also, I can make my attitude clear, I don't agree. If you plan to push forward, of course I can't stop it, but I will change the existing Development planning for the DC Cinematic Universe project."

After saying this, Simon ignored Bob White and turned around and walked towards him.

Asked about Jack Welch, but Simon wanted to confirm whether this matter tonight came from Welch's behest. However, Simon's tough attitude will not change at all for the DC movie universe. Unknowingly, he has regarded Hollywood as his own territory. In order to avoid the premature flooding of comic book movies, in order to maintain the diversity of Hollywood, Simon has been pressing his own Marvel, and of course he will not allow dc to mess around.

If the contradiction intensifies, even in the DC movie universe, Simon can stop when he says stop.

As soon as he separated from Bob White, Jonathan Friedman greeted him and congratulated him again. Jonathan said another thing: "Simon, Daenerys Entertainment has recently approved two comet-to-earth movies. When do you plan to start preparations for the collision of heaven and earth and the peerless catastrophe?"

The Peerless Calamity is an idea that Simon gave to MGM at that time, the screenwriter Robert Poole, the screenwriter of Horror Zone. After the success of Horror Zone, Poole also became popular, and the Peerless Calamity script under his name was successfully approved. Daenerys Entertainment fancy.

The Clash of Heaven and Earth is Simon's idea inspired by the peerless catastrophe. In the past, the two films fought in the same year, which was very lively. The original Clash of Heaven and Earth has been dropped by the butterfly, Simon picked it up again, and handed it over to the original screenwriter Michael Tolkien to write.

The two projects have recently joined Daenerys Entertainment's project list together. Although the preparations have not yet officially started, the two super blockbusters that focus on special effects have quickly attracted the attention of major Hollywood brokerages and stars of all sizes.

no way.

In Hollywood now, the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment are the most likely to make actors popular. At the same time, if you want to stabilize your position and not be topped by latecomers, even big names must try their best to strive for these opportunities.

Jonathan Friedman is apparently scouting for WMA stars at this point.

Of course, Simon would not have anything to hide from Jonathan, saying: "It's just a project for now, but the schedule for next year has already expired, and the Great Clash of Heaven and Earth will be in 1998, and the peerless catastrophe, I hope Michael Bay will be the director, which requires By the time he finishes Jurassic Park 3, the release will be pushed to 1999."

Hearing the words, Jonathan nodded, basically as expected, so he did not rush to recommend candidates, but said again: "Kim has finished filming the cable TV repairman, and Daenerys Entertainment has never had another project here. news, Simon, I can only ask you?"

Cable Fixer is a comedy tailored for Jim Carrey by Ben Stiller and Judd Apatow, the gang members that Simon has been quietly supporting.

In the past, Jim Carrey got Hollywood's first basic salary of 20 million US dollars with this film, which opened the era of 20 million.

Because of the original contract and Simon's suppression of Jim Carrey, of course there is no $20 million this time. Moreover, including this movie, it was also deliberately arranged by Simon. The cable TV repairman in the original time and space had the worst box office performance since Jim Carrey became popular. It spent nearly 50 million US dollars in Sony's budget at the time, and the global box office barely passed. 100 million.

This is still Simon's deliberate suppression of Jim Carrey, and by the way, let the bad boy help him.

At this time, listening to Jonathan's obviously pleasing tone, Simon didn't insist, and said, "I took the time to have someone send him the script."

Jim Carrey had signed a contract with Daenerys Entertainment for 5 films, and after the two Detective Plane, the Geek in disguise and the cable repairman who had been filmed but not released, only the last one remained.

In fact, the script has already been prepared.

Truman.

This is also a script that has been circulating in Hollywood for a long time and has not been fanned by Simon, the big butterfly. The story writer had an idea in the 1980s, and it was only noticed by Hollywood in 1991. The script failed to be successfully shot after many attempts. It fell into the hands of Daenerys Entertainment and was quietly taken by Simon.

like

If it wasn't for Jim Carrey's attempt to break the contract and have a very unpleasant trouble with Daenerys Entertainment, Simon might have taken it out long ago, and he could even push each other at Oscar.

Speaking of which, there are actually quite a few scripts that have been quietly suppressed by Simon in recent years.

Just like this year-end schedule in 1996, the top-grossing film was supposed to be Mr. Sweetheart starring Tom Cruise. Cruise has been reduced to the second and third tiers under the constant pressure of Daenerys Entertainment. Although Mr. Sweetheart's script has not Fanned out, but also sealed by Simon to make way for other films.

Jonathan was relieved to see Simon let go.

In fact, I can understand Simon's approach.

At the beginning, Daenerys Entertainment signed a number of long-term contracts in a row, including a series of actor contracts in the key dc movie universe. If Jim Carrey, who tried to break the contract, is not taught a lesson, other actors will definitely make trouble. It is very likely that time will come. It can't end, and it's hard to say whether the DC movie universe can achieve the glory of last year's Super Bat War.

Jim Carrey, who took the initiative to surrender, switched to wma, and under Jonathan's words, he got rid of the situation of being frozen, but the bad feeling on Daenerys Entertainment's side has already formed. If not, with the box-office momentum the comedy star has shown in his first two films, it's definitely more than that.

Fortunately, only the last film is left.

Jonathan can imagine that after the final film, the two sides will never meet again. However, Daenerys Entertainment, who is in full swing, obviously doesn't care too much about the intersection.

Even the times have changed.

Today's Hollywood is obviously the era of super blockbuster movies, and it is no longer the year when big directors and big stars were admired by the stars of major studios. Just like the DC movie universe, there are no big directors and big stars. It can create box office miracles, and even these years are equivalent to bringing out a new batch of big directors and stars.

Jonathan just asked about the two comet collision films, and some big coffees under wma took the initiative to ask for them. Otherwise, Daenerys Entertainment will give these opportunities to those newcomers, and many big names who have been at risk in recent years may really be shot to death on the beach.

After all, a young man who was born ten years ago has completely changed the landscape of Hollywood.

On the second day of the premiere, the word-of-mouth of Wonder Woman 2 was directly lifted, and the comprehensive score of all media reached 8.7 points, which is close to the classic.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of this latest dc blockbuster is irrelevant. When the major theaters put up the last poster of the three superheroes of Wonder Woman, The Flash and Cyborg on the second day of the premiere, it has already made The anticipation of a large number of fans who did not know that The Flash would be in the role has taken a new level.

Then, on November 22, after the hot midnight show, the much-anticipated Wonder Woman 2 was officially rolled out on a large scale on 4,017 screens in North America.

At the same time, the first week of Thanksgiving, which runs from Nov. 15 to Nov. 21, also came to an end.

In fact, after the three-day box office release from November 15th to November 17th, the two producers of Sky Slam Dunk and Star Trek 8 already felt bad. For a whole week, due to the fifth annual November 18th The TV broadcast of the Victoria's Secret Show and the second fall finale of American Idol's second season with an average viewership of more than 30 million on Tuesday and Thursday followed. The final box office results were released, and the producers of the two new films were completely heartbroken. .

The total box office of the first seven days of the Thanksgiving schedule was US$95.46 million, of which the three-day weekend accounted for US$79.23 million, while the box office of the four-day weekday was only US$16.22 million, accounting for only a pitiful 17% of the box office for the week. In most cases, this ratio is often around 30%.

That is to say, this week's three popular dramas are equivalent to swallowing more than 12 million US dollars in the box office of North American theaters.

Daenerys Entertainment has produced more and more films over the years that other studios have no power to fight back. Now even Daenerys Entertainment's TV shows are competing with everyone for market share, which is really exciting Cry without tears.

In the end, in the first week of the Thanksgiving schedule, the box-office champion was not the $80 million live-action animated slam dunk led by Bugs Bunny and Jordan, but the sequel to Paramount's classic long-running sci-fi series Star Trek 8.

In its first week of release, Star Trek 8 earned $34.67 million in seven days.

This result is not a failure, but it is also significantly lower than Paramount's $40 million first-week box office forecast.

And, the $5 million forecast gap is exactly the same as the box office share eaten up by several hit TV episodes. If there is no Wonder Woman 2, the opening is 34.67 million US dollars, and the follow-up of Star Trek 8 is actually expected to hit the domestic box office of 80 million to 100 million US dollars. The production cost of the film is 45 million US dollars, and the production cost can be recovered just by relying on local distribution.

Now, Wonder Woman 2 is aggressive, and it was even slashed by a TV show produced by Daenerys Entertainment in the first week of its opening. The possibility of a domestic 70 million box office is pitiful, and I can only look forward to overseas. However, the popularity of the Star Trek series overseas is far less than that in China, and it is lucky to get half of the domestic box office.

Calculated, it should be Paramount's steadily profitable Star Trek series. In this sequel, even if it will not lose money through all channels, it will inevitably become the worst commercial performance in these years.

Star Trek 8 was actually lucky, though.

The second-place box office dunk is the real failure.

Warners imitated the model of who framed Roger Rabbit in those days. This live-action animation combined film costing $80 million, also invited the familiar Bugs Bunny.

And Michael Jordan, as a result, the word-of-mouth of the film went straight to the street after its release. The average media rating was only 4.3 points, which was not even a passing grade. It was far from the praise of who framed Roger Rabbit.

Even if the North American market is very mature, there is actually no shortage of bad movies selling well.

Just look at the timing.

The former aerial slam dunk, in the absence of a strong opponent, won a box office of more than 90 million US dollars locally, and 230 million globally, which is also considered a blockbuster.

This time, I will only talk about the first week of the painting, not only to collide with Star Trek 8, but also to Barbra Streisand's double-sided mirror last week and Annabelle, who still has enough energy since the opening of the Halloween schedule. The ending can be imagined.

In the first seven days of the first week, relying on 2,650 screens, the box office revenue of the big dunk was only 25.14 million US dollars, and the museum did not even reach the sales level of 10,000 US dollars.

It started at $25.14 million, and next week will be Wonder Woman 2, which is enough to slash the box office data of the same period. Warners can't even imagine what the next blockbuster, which cost $80 million, will face.

In addition to the two new films, Annabelle, who successfully exceeded 100 million yuan last week, this week, under the impact of the two new films, although the box office dropped by 43%, it still won the box office of 15.56 million US dollars, and the total box office in the four weeks after its release was 124.76 million. Dollar.

This new film of The Conjuring Cinematic Universe, with a total investment of only 30 million US dollars to produce and announce, sits firmly on Diaoyutai.

The fourth place is Barbra Streisand's double-sided mirror. The box office fell by 29% in the next week, and it made 00,000 US dollars. The two-week box office totaled 27.49 million US dollars. It is expected to reach the expected local 40 million through the subsequent release, which is Sony. The best result for this project.

The fifth place is Boogie Nights, which is still a film produced by Daenerys Entertainment.

Compared with the $00,000 of the fourth-place Double-sided Mirror, the box office of Boogie Night in the fifth week of its release fell directly to $4.31 million. It is conceivable that other old films in the same period had a more bleak box office situation. Counting Boogie Night, the top four were out. , the last 9 of the 13 films included in the box-office report this week, totaled less than $9 million.

However, all these movies, no matter how good or bad, are reduced to floating clouds in front of Wonder Woman 2, which is crushed with vigor and vigor.
