On November 13, the second day of the TV show of Victoria's Secret, the Thanksgiving schedule opened.

Columbia Pictures, whose production cost reached 40 million US dollars, became the first large-scale film in the Thanksgiving schedule, and the number of screens reached 2,491.

Gaomen Pictures' "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" launched a small-scale screening on the same day.

As Gaomen Pictures' key award-winning film this year, "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" has only 20 screens.

In addition to the two key films, several films such as "Blood on the Red Lips" by Godwin Films and "End Sadness Before Sunrise" by Orion Films were also released at the same time. , which basically belongs to the cannon fodder-level existence of the Thanksgiving schedule.

On the other hand, Daenerys Entertainment's "Midnight Bell", which was released on the Halloween schedule, had a good start with $28.79 million in the first week from October 30 to November 5. With the continuous fermentation of word of mouth and popularity, on November 6 The box office fell by a meager 13% in the week ending Nov. 12, taking in another $25.03 million.

In just two weeks, the cumulative box office of this Japanese horror novel adaptation film has reached 53.82 million US dollars.

Taking into account the popular Thanksgiving schedule, "Midnight Bell" has no other films of the same type to compete with it during this schedule. The distribution team of New World Pictures predicts that the total North American box office of this Japanese horror film is expected to be It is expected to reach more than 150 million US dollars.

The North American box office of more than 150 million US dollars is enough to ensure that "Midnight" is firmly in the top ten ranks of the North American box office list in 1992.

In order to save costs, "Midnight Bell" was filmed in Australia, and Nicole Kidman's salary was not high. In addition to tax rebates, the final production budget of the film was only 13 million US dollars.

The production cost of 13 million US dollars, the North American box office is expected to exceed 150 million US dollars, and the return on the box office cost is more than 10 times, which makes the whole Hollywood feel jealous.

Moreover, this is only a domestic box office income in North America.

When the film is a big success in North America, the subsequent overseas box office, videotape and TV broadcast revenue will also increase.

The projected total profit for the entire project over the next few years will easily surpass every other Hollywood blockbuster except the DC Cinematic Universe project.

When Simon bought the rights to the adaptation of "Midnight Bell", Hollywood began to follow suit and snap up the copyright of Japanese horror novels. With the success of "Midnight Bell", Hollywood suddenly has many Japanese horror film projects entering the preparation schedule.

Speaking of which, the key to the success of "Midnight Bell" is, in the final analysis, a brand-new horror movie style, a horror movie mode that is completely different from the traditional Western screaming blood plasma murderer.

This model is based on eastern ghosts and ghosts, but it does not necessarily have to use eastern horror stories as a template.

The haunted events in the West are actually very rich.

Therefore, when other studios tried to follow the trend of "Midnight Bell", Simon asked New World Pictures President Danny Morris to find relevant materials that happened in North America.

As of the release of "Midnight Bell", the cumulative box office of "The Crying Game", which opened on September 25, has reached 20.54 million US dollars.

In the two weeks from October 30 to November 12, "The Crying Game" continued to make $7.22 million and $5.37 million respectively with a screen size of more than 500, and the cumulative box office also continued to climb to $33.13 million.

The arrival of the Thanksgiving schedule will also slow down the decline curve of “The Crying Game”.

Highgate predicts that the final North American box office of "The Crying Game" is expected to be between $60 million and $70 million.

Moreover, this low-cost literary and artistic film with excellent box office and reputation will also become the focus of Gaomen Pictures in the next awards season together with "Scent of a Woman".

In Simon's memory, both films were successfully nominated for Best Picture Oscars that year.

This time, as long as the box office performance of "Scent to Know a Woman" in the next few weeks is as expected, in next year's awards season, in order to avoid diluting votes, Gaomen Pictures will put more emphasis on "Scent and Know a Woman".

Of course, in order to stimulate the subsequent box office potential as much as possible, "The Crying Game" will also not lack nominations.

Speaking of which, Daenerys Entertainment has been giving up in recent years because there are so many excellent movies produced by her own.

Take this year as an example, Daenerys Entertainment's 1992 film, which participated in the Cannes Film Festival in May this year and was released in August, "Howard Manor", "The Crying Game" released in September, and the Thanksgiving schedule. "Scent of a Woman", all three films in Simon's memory are nominated for next year's Academy Award for Best Picture.

However, there is only one best picture after all.

In order to avoid the votes being divided, Daenerys Entertainment can only apply for nominations for one film, which will inevitably lead to other films being left out.

Adapted from the British novelist Foster's "Howard Manor" after its release in mid-August, it has stayed in North American theaters for 9 weeks, with a total domestic box office of 26.12 million US dollars.

For an art film that cost only $6 million to make, that's a remarkable achievement. If it is released by other studios, it will definitely be the focus of next year's awards season. However, under Daenerys Entertainment, even if there is no "Scent of a Woman", "Howard Manor" will fall in the North American total box office is expected to exceed 60 million US dollars

After Yuan's "The Crying Game."

Many Hollywood filmmakers have realized this.

For example, last year's "Silence of the Lambs" director Jonathan Demme.

Compared with the original time and space "Silence of the Lambs" won the 64th Oscar in 1992, this time and space, in the other two films of Daenerys Entertainment "Piano Love" and "The End of the Wild Flower". Under the impact, this phenomenon-level horror movie has only won a few corner nominations.

Daenerys Entertainment has completely abandoned the 64th Oscars out of a long-term award-winning strategy.

Hollywood filmmakers are often more interested in their performance at the box office, but they will not ignore the honor.

Because of the experience of "Silence of the Lambs", Jonathan Demme's "Philadelphia Story" prepared this year did not continue to cooperate with Daenerys Entertainment, but chose to be invested by MGM under Simon's personal connection.

"Philadelphia Story", a film about Tom Hanks's experience of defending the rights of people with AIDS, just by looking at the genre, people familiar with the rules of Hollywood's operation can find that the film is obviously going for awards.

In the original timeline, Tom Hank won his first Oscar for best actor with "The Philadelphia Story", and in the following year, relying on the phenomenal "Forrest Gump" to become the first consecutive golden man Oscar winner.

Not only that, but "The Philadelphia Story" was also very good at the box office.

After Simon postponed the production plan of "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks, who had a tight schedule, was able to rejoin "Philadelphia Story". The film will start in January next year and is expected to be released at the end of 1993, impacting 1994. Awards season.

It is worth mentioning that, except that Tom Hanks may create a miracle again, Jonathan Demme is also destined to miss the Oscar this time.

Because, at the end of 1993, there was Spielberg's "Schindler's List."

Simon originally chose to postpone "Forrest Gump", in addition to the overcrowded schedule at the end of 1993, he also took into account the factors of "Schindler's List".

It would be a shame if the two films, both of which are expected to top the Oscars, meet.

Staggered by a year, Daenerys Entertainment could also rightfully be the biggest Oscar winner for two years in a row.

With the status of the two films in Hollywood film history on the original timeline, who would dare to say that "Schindler's List" is not eligible for the Oscar? Who can question the strength of "Forrest Gump"?

After the TV broadcast of the Victoria's Secret show was completed, the follow-up matters were all in charge. The Simons went to Melbourne together on the following weekend to participate in David Johnston and Leslie Wickett's upcoming event on November 21st. Wedding, while planning to stay in Australia until after the New Year.

The top priorities of Daenerys Entertainment's year-end schedule, "Home Alone 2" released on November 20 and "Jurassic Park" released on December 18, will also be operated by the company team itself.

Melbourne, Australia.

The Johnston mansion on the Yarra River on the northern outskirts of the city is becoming more and more lively as David Johnston's wedding approaches.

Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston both lived in,

The Simon and his wife originally wanted to live in their nearby villa, but they had to move in together because of the old man's compulsion.

Veronica also moved into the mansion with the little guy at the same time.

Finally, David Johnston and Patrick Johnston were added, and the whole family came together.

Because of her daughter's wedding, the Leslie Whitaker family also had a lot of people.

Arrived in Melbourne on November 15, and then spent a week in various busy parties until the wedding on November 21, when David Johnston and Leslie Wickett left Australia to start their own honeymoon. , Melbourne is also free here.

Simon and Janet continued to live in Melbourne for a few days, and the couple also left for Tasmania, which is across the sea from Melbourne.

Over the years, Simon's purchase of Tasmanian land has never stopped.

Realizing the buying behavior of the young super-rich, Tasmania's land prices have also risen.

However, after all, it is a piece of land on the edge of the world. Although there is no shortage of some original landowners who are waiting for the price and followers with certain thoughts, there are not many people who are willing to spend money in Tasmania. .

After continuous expansion, Simon's total land area in Tasmania at this time has unknowingly reached 13,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 3.2 million acres, which has exceeded one-fifth of the total area of ​​Tasmania. one.

Of course, these are basically barren hills and forests without any output.

Unless Simon intends to harvest the virgin forests in the territory, it will be difficult for him to obtain any economic output.

Of course Simon didn't plan to do this, and he should be an environmentalist at heart.

It's just that because of the pessimistic nature of his character, Simon doesn't have the will to change too many things, but he doesn't mind doing things that can be done at will.

In order to protect the ecology, Simon even bought and closed a copper mine in his own territory, and invested money to restore the forest that was severely damaged by the opening of the mine.

Owning such a large piece of land is somewhat wasteful to do nothing.

Janet once proposed that Tasmania could be developed into a film location shooting base. The primitive natural landscapes such as forests, grasslands and lakes here are not at all.

Worse than New Zealand next door, Simon still did not agree.

This land located at the ends of the earth, he only intends to be his own paradise, and does not want too many people to pay attention to it.

In addition, the doomsday shelter that was originally built deep in the Tasmanian mountains has also been completed.

Full military facility level.

After the project was completed, the construction team was evacuated. Even though many people knew that there was such a fortification deep in the jungle, most people could not find it without accurate orientation guidance.

For more than a week in late November, Simon and Janet lived in a wooden house near the shelter. They rode, climbed, drifted and hunted during the day, and rested in the shelter at night. interior space.

The Simon and his wife live in an isolated world of two in the jungles of Tasmania, North America, while the Thanksgiving season continues.

From November 13th to November 19th, Francis Ford Coppola's vampire-themed thriller "Four Hundred Years" successfully topped the single-week box office championship, earning $38.7 million in seven days, with an average of more than 1.5% Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

The second-ranked "Midnight Bell", in its third week of release, still had a box office drop of only 17%, and continued to make 20.77 million US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 74.59 million US dollars in three weeks.

Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures released the new film "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", with a comprehensive film score of 8.8. The opening scale of 20 screens in the first week earned 630,000 US dollars in seven days, and the average museum reached 31,000 US dollars. .

Whether it is the word of mouth of the film critics or the box office data, "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" has reached the popular level that the film should be in the awards season.

On November 20, the blockbuster "Home Alone 2" on the Thanksgiving schedule officially opened with a scale of 2,673 screens.

Because of the amazing box office accumulated by the first film of "Home Alone", this week, only a biographical drama "Kuroshio" from Warner Bros.

Directed by Spike Lee and starring Denzel Washington, Kuroshio is still a racial film.

Compared with "Home Alone 2", "Kuroshio" has 1124 screens after the opening screen, plus the subject matter, basically does not constitute any competition or threat to "Home Alone 2".

Relying on the popularity of the first film, coupled with Daenerys Entertainment's tireless promotion, although "Home Alone 2" has many overlaps with the first film in terms of plot, it has reduced the film's reputation to a certain extent, but Its status as a comedy in the festival schedule is very qualified.

From November 20th to November 26th, in the first seven days of the first week of the painting, "Home Alone 2" won the box office of 53.13 million US dollars in one fell swoop, easily reaching the top of the single-week box office list.

Affected by "Home Alone 2", "Four Hundred Years of Horrors" fell by 45% in a single week, and continued to make 21.5 million US dollars, ranking second, with a cumulative box office of 60.21 million US dollars in two weeks. Although the production cost was as high as 40 million US dollars, but the revenue exceeded 60 million in two weeks, Colombia's profitability on this project can also be expected.

The market performance of Spike Lee's new film "Kuroshio" is obviously beyond the industry's expectations, which can be described as a double harvest of box office word of mouth.

The film not only received a comprehensive media score of 8.8 points equivalent to "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", but also, with the opening scale of 1,124 screens, the box office revenue in the first seven days of the first week also reached 18.31 million US dollars, and the museum average exceeded 16,000 US dollars, ranking in a single week. Number three on the list.

It's a pity that, like Daenerys Entertainment's "The Crying Game" and "Howard Park," the upcoming awards season, "Kuroshio" is destined to make way for another Warner Bros. film, "Unforgiven."

Immediately after "Kuroshio", "Midnight Bell" ranked fourth on the list, and the film's single-week box office drop also expanded to 24%. In the fourth week of its release, it made another $15.79 million, and the cumulative box office for four weeks was $90.38 million. It is expected to hit the billion mark next week.

The fifth place on the list, "Passenger 57", the box office figures fell directly to the level of about 6 million US dollars.

After the word-of-mouth and popularity continued to ferment, "Scent of a Woman" still maintained a 20-screen screen size in the second week, but the average museum increased to 37,000 US dollars, and it earned 740,000 US dollars again.

Relying on the excellent film results for two consecutive weeks, in the new week, the screening scale of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" was officially launched, and the number of screens reached 1,083.
