After the first day of 23.1 million USD, which is beyond everyone ’s expectations, entering the weekend, the momentum of "Rush Hour2" has not diminished, and Box Office has reached a new high on Saturday, reaching 24.34 million USD, and only Box Office on Sunday. With a 19% decline, it closed another 19950,000 USD.
In three days, the cumulative Box Office for the first weekend of "Rush Hour2" has reached 67400,000 USD.
This Box Office data not only easily surpassed the same period of "Monsters, Inc." and "Night at the Museum2" of the Thanksgiving schedule, but also put aside the simultaneous release of "Galaxy Team".
On the first three days of the first weekend, Sony Film Industry, a special-effect blockbuster that cost 110 million USD, only got 22050,000 USD Box Office, not even as good as the first day of "Rush Hour2" Box Office.
This result is beyond everyone ’s expectations. No one thought that "Rush Hour2" would suddenly be so popular, and no one expected that the film criticism was much better than the "Rush Hour2" just passed. The "Galaxy Team" Box Office meeting It is so bleak.
Sony Film Industry put "Team of the Stars" before Firefly Pictures and "Jurassic Park3". The original goal was to compete with "Jurassic Park3". As a result, it just gave people a feeling of being empty.
Unlike Rush Hour2 ’s slight decline of 19% on Sunday, after Team Galaxy obtained 8300,000 USD and 8.28 million USD single-day Box Office on Friday and Saturday, the single-day Box Office decline on Sunday has already reached 34%, Box Office only received 5450,000 USD that day.
So, entering the working day, the single-day Box Office of "Star Team" fell even more miserable. On Monday, Box Office fell 61% compared with the previous day, and only 2.1 million USD remained in Box Office on a single day. In comparison, Monday Box Office of "Rush Hour2" is also 51% lower than Sunday, but the Box Office data for a single day is still 9.47 million USD, which is higher than any single day Box Office in the first weekend of "Galaxy Team" a lot of.
In order to find out what happened, Eric also deliberately took the time to watch "The Galaxy Team".
I found out that the plot of this film, strictly speaking, has no problems, and the special effects are very good. However, the combination of the whole gives people a very uncomfortable feeling. Because the whole movie, it is difficult for the audience to find something that makes people happy, but it is full of a relatively rigid preaching atmosphere.
Although media critics are explaining that this is ironic fascism, most people are obviously not interested in this irony. What's more, it's still Christmas time, and more people enter the cinema just for entertainment, and "Team of the Galaxy" is even more outdated. As a result, although the film received fairly good reviews from film critic, it was met with extreme coldness from the market.
In contrast, compared to first part, "Rush Hour2" can't be said to have any intention in the plot, which is why most media have given the film a low score. However, the audience was very fond of such a kung fu comedy.
The Box Office of 67400,000 USD for the first weekend has exceeded everyone ’s expectations. When the Box Office of 9.47 million USD was listed on the first day of the working day, most people realized that "Rush Hour2" might become the end of the year first part or It is also the only movie in the first week with Box Office breaking 100 million.
In the first week, Box Office exceeded 100 million. If it is the upcoming "Jurassic Park3", it may be nothing. Because the first two parts of this series have achieved the first week of breaking the billion, but this kind of award has fallen to a movie like Rush Hour2, which originally expected North America total Box Office to be only 100 million, which makes people feel incredible. Too.
Los Angeles, Burbank Firefly Headquarters.
Bill · Michanik watched that the driver had parked the car and was still somewhat reluctant to get off.
The drivers and assistants sitting in the front row naturally dare not urge them. They all know that in recent days, Bill Michanik has been in a bad mood.
As the Sony Film Industry deputy Chairman and Columbia Film StudioCEO, Bill · Michanique has been in this position, not only did he not have the ease of Peter · Guber and Qiang · Peters when he was in charge of Columbia, this Film Studio's business situation is actually better than the original Peter · Guber is even worse with the palm of your hand.
From summer to Christmas, for one year, Sony Film Industry continuously tried to create two special effect film series, "Godzilla" and "Star Team", both ended in failure, and the failure was very thorough.
Bill · Micanić made his mark as the head of the Disney family entertainment department during the Disney period.
Originally, as an executive of the Disney system, it can achieve the position of one of the top seven. At least on the surface, its status is almost equivalent to that of Jeffrey · Katzenberg as Firefly GroupCEO and Michael · Eisner as CEO of Universal Pictures Group. He is still very proud.
But now, he often even regrets accepting the job.
If he can stay in Disney all the time, now he feels that he should be a senior executive at Firefly Group Vice Chairman level, maybe after Frank · Wells retires, he can still compete for the position of Chairman. As a Chairman at Firefly Group, speaking of it, it is no worse than being the CEO of Columbia Film Studio.
Sitting in the car for a while, Bill · Micanić still had to get off, and the time he agreed with Katzenberg was about to arrive.
The continuous failure of "Godzilla" and "Star Team" has also caused the CEOHoward · Stringer of the Sony United States branch to start to catch on fire. This year's Sony Film Industry continued loss-making pattern has been unavoidable. In order to stabilize its position, Sony Film Industry must take it as soon as possible. Movie works that can reverse the situation.
So, the original "Men in Black", "Jumanji" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" that Columbia and Firefly cooperated with became the best choice to reverse the situation of Sony Film Industry. Especially "Men in Black", this series not only has a very high popularity, Box Office is also very secure.
Although Sony Film Industry has produced and distributed more than a dozen films in a year, the 28th law of the Hollywood film market is also very obvious. An Film Studio 80% Box Office and profits are concentrated in the best percentage In the 20th film. If you can start "Men in Black3", although Sony can only occupy 40% of the interest in this film, but at least it can also make Sony Film Industry's performance in the next one or two years not too ugly.
Katzenberg did not go out to greet his former colleague. Bill Micnick did not expect this too. He still knew the character of Katzenberg. Take the assistant to the door of Katzenberg's office, five minutes away from the appointed time.
Waiting in the lounge, looking at the scene where four or five assistants and secretaries in the outside of the Katzenberg office are busy, Bill Michanik is inevitably a little envious, and instead smiles self-deprecatingly, maybe even if he is the same as Katzenberg Hire four or five assistants, and Sony Film Industry does not have so many things to deal with.
The current Firefly Group is already a giant enterprise carrier larger than the entire Japan Sony. Wall Street's valuation of Firefly Group reached 85billion USD last year, and will definitely rise again this year. While the entire Sony group is taking advantage of the new technology wave, the current market value has not yet exceeded 70billion USD, Sony Film Industry, which is less than one tenth of the market value of the entire Sony group.
"Mr. Michanik, you can go in."
Thinking about these things wildly, Bill Michanic heard the voice of an assistant of Katzenberg, quickly stood up, nodded toward the other party, and walked towards the office of Katzenberg.
Seeing Bill Michanik coming in, Katzenberg sitting behind the desk put down the phone in his hand, got up and came over and shook hands with him, saying: "Sorry, Bill, a little busy at the end of the year."
"It's okay," Bill Michanik smiled and shook hands with Katzenberg. The two sat on the sofa in the reception area.
The secretary quickly took two cups of coffee, and then left the office quietly. Bill · Michanic knew the style of Katzenberg and did not turn around. He took a symbolic sip of the coffee and went straight to the theme: " So, Jeffrey, what do you think of the plan I said on the phone last time? "
