In Simon's view, the summer of 1987 marked a "watershed" in the production and distribution model of some Hollywood films.

Starting in mid-May, Dustin Hoffman's "Ista", Eddie Murphy's "Beverly Detective 2", and Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Predator" Movies such as "The Witches of East Town" starring Jack Nicholson were released in turn.

Among them, "Ista" and "Beverly Detective 2" are the most typical representatives of this watershed.

The budget cost of "Isda" is as high as 55 million US dollars, and the box office of 5.7 million US dollars in the first week is doomed to the producer Columbia Pictures. The film, however, heralded the official arrival of Hollywood's big-budget era.

The sequel to the 1984 North American box office hit, "Beverly Detective 2" also cost $28 million to make. However, the more representative point of this movie is that its opening screen size is as high as 2326.

2,326 opening screens are not many for blockbusters that cost three or four thousand opening screens later, but in this era when most films can only get around 1,000 opening screens, "Beverly Detective 2" The scale of the opening of the painting is absolutely unprecedented.

Rather than picking a traditional Friday release date, Paramount Pictures has settled on Wednesday, May 20.

Through the intensive publicity campaign in the early stage, "Beverly Detective 2" received $7.61 million at the box office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and directly earned "Isda", which only received $5.7 million for the whole week. Kicked to the second place in the single-week box office chart.

The following week, "Beverly Detective 2" received another $40.03 million, bringing the total box office to $47.64 million in 9 days.

Before 1987, such a violent box office momentum was completely unmatched by the national-level "Star Wars" series.

In comparison, the 1986 box-office champion "Top Gun" earned only $12.21 million in its first week, and the 1985 box-office champion "Back to the Future" only had a 9-day total box office of $22.02 million on the same Wednesday.

At the same time, after earning 47.64 million US dollars at the box office, the box office data of "Beverly Detective 2" in the following week fell sharply by 40%, which was far more than the long-term trend of 10% to 20% for best-selling films.

Even so, "Beverly Detective 2" is destined to be another super hit.

While many studios are studying the distribution strategy of Paramount Pictures, Simon understands that outside of the big-budget era, Hollywood movies gain popularity through large-scale publicity in the early stage, and then roll out thousands of screens at one time to recycle them in a short period of time. The era of full-scale distribution at the box office also arrived at the same time.

On Simon's side, the layout of stock index futures has been completed, and "Death Is Coming" produced by Daenerys Pictures was officially launched on May 18.

The main location of "Death Is Coming" was in Queens, New York. Simon flew to New York himself after the filming started, and stayed in the crew for three days before returning to Los Angeles again.

In the following time, Simon was basically busy with the casting, scene setting and actor rehearsal of "Pulp Fiction".

The shooting cycle of "Death Is Coming" is 8 weeks. If all goes well, the film will be completed around July 10. The shooting of "Pulp Fiction" was scheduled for July 13, and the shooting period in the initial plan was 10 weeks.

at the same time.

Due to the release of a series of new films in the summer, the box office trends of "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" have been significantly impacted.

However, on June 15, the 18th week of its release, "Lola Run" earned $1.36 million at the box office for three days over the weekend, and the cumulative box office officially broke through the $200 million mark, reaching $201.07 million.

Immediately after.

From June 19 to June 25, the 12th week of the release of "Butterfly Effect", the box office received another 1.82 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office also exceeded the 100 million US dollars mark, reaching 100.87 million US dollars.

Although everyone knows the box office potential of "Lola Run" and "The Butterfly Effect", when the two films really broke through the expected box office figures, the media throughout North America is still boiling again.

For a time, countless news about Simon spread again in various newspapers and media.

Catherine's Night of the Dead happens to be in theaters on June 19.

Due to Simon's previous participation, under the influence of this media heat, "Blood Corpse Night" became the most direct beneficiary.

The film opened with 513 screens in the first week. Under the heated media, "Blood Corpse Night" received a box office of 7.86 million US dollars in only three days in the first weekend, with an average of more than 15,000 US dollars in a single hall, fully reaching the level of a blockbuster. .

Simon and Janet had planned to host some parties in March and April to thank those who helped Simon over the years.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two also brought this matter up again.

Saturday, June 27.

In the mansion of Palisades, the grand party was officially held on this day.

It's a bad day, I really don't want to stop changing, and pass a short chapter.
