On December 18, when the first week of the Christmas season opened, the box office of the past week was also officially released.

From December 11 to December 17, the single-week box office champion was still won by "Home Alone 2". In the fourth week of its release, "Home Alone 2" continued to gain 12.39 million US dollars.

The sequel to the phenomenal children's comedy has grossed $121.76 million in the past month.

Considering that the box office base in a single week is still more than 10 million US dollars, "Home Alone 2" will at least get another 5,000 US dollars in the future, and the total domestic box office in North America is expected to be between 170 million and 200 million US dollars.

If it weren't for Jurassic Park, Home Alone 2 would have been the biggest hit this year, spanning Thanksgiving and Christmas.

However, this can only be if.

When Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group's potential dispute over the DC Cinematic Universe quickly simmered in the media, Jurassic Park's box-office figures also began to gain traction.

On December 18, in addition to "Jurassic Park", another fantasy comedy "Toy" starring Robin Williams was released in North America, with a screen size of 1,272. The film tells the story of two heirs of a toy factory using toys to compete for control.

Compared with the comprehensive media score of "Jurassic Park" after the premiere of 9.3 points, Robin Williams' new film reputation can only be described as appalling, and the comprehensive media score is only a pitiful 3.2 points.

Since his speech at the meeting on Wednesday was exposed, Gerald Levin has been in a state of anxiety. The irritability in my heart increased a little.

Unsurprisingly, Steve Ross would be hard-pressed to survive this Christmas, and if he had known that, he wouldn't have been too eager to seize power.

It's a pity that things have already happened, and it's too late to regret it.

Now we can only hope that there will be no surprises in Time Warner's transition of power.

Moreover, the biggest variable is a certain young man.

Gerald Levin is of course aware of the importance of the dc movie universe to Time Warner. His speech at the last meeting was just a language strategy to run on Ross' forces. At least, deep down he was not really entertaining with Daenerys. In the mind of renegotiating, once the dc movie universe plan is destroyed, even if he has successfully sat on the CEO of Time Warner, he is likely to be ousted.

I just didn't expect that someone would stab this matter directly.

Gerald Levine is almost certain that Terry Semel did this at all.

However, it is impossible for him to attack the opponent because of this.

First of all, he really said the words exposed in the media. Even if he was misinterpreted to a certain extent, most of the facts could not be refuted.

The second is that there is no evidence. Even if the other party breaks the rules and lacks evidence, he can't do anything to Terry Semel.

Daenerys Entertainment's reaction to the incident didn't seem so drastic, but Gerald Levin remained uneasy.

The key is the young man's silence.

Although he called Simon Westeros a kid at Wednesday's meeting, a kid with a fortune of $65 billion knows what that means.

Gerald Levin even remembered the incident of the original soundtrack of "The Bodyguard", so he understood that the young man who always seemed to give off a sense of lack of aggression would often leave no room for it once it was launched.

It's hard to say what would have happened if the other side intervened in a power dispute within Time Warner because of his remarks at Wednesday's meeting.

The reason why Steve Ross has been able to sit firmly as the head of Time Warner for a long time is largely due to the support of a large number of top Hollywood filmmakers. During the most difficult years of Warner Bros. in the 1980s, the board of directors also initiated The ouster of Ross resulted in a large number of Hollywood celebrities including Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Barbra Streisand speaking out in the media, expressing their support for Ross, and finally That led to the dismissal action.

Simon Westeros' influence in Hollywood at this time is definitely far more than Spielberg and others.

Moreover, Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group have a very close relationship because of the cooperation on the dc movie universe and other projects.

Even if Levin is already recognized by most people as the successor of Time Warner's chairman, the company is not without competitors. Although Terry Semel and Robert Daly are slightly less senior than him, if there is support, they will serve as Time Warner. The position of chairman of Warner is actually passable.

Levin wanted to take the initiative to inquire about the other person's mind more than once in the past few days, but he couldn't let go of his restraint and pride as a media group executive.

Unconsciously, it was another night of sleepless nights.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the phone rang, and Levin sat up directly on the big bed and picked up the receiver.

Ignoring the grumbling of his wife's dissatisfaction, Levin said a few words to the other side, then got out of bed and went to the study, turned on the computer, and logged in to the Igret portal.

The bold headlines on the site are unusually eye-catching, even a little dazzling.

"Jurassic Park broke Spielberg's box office record with $21.76 million on its first day."

Without opening the detailed news page, Gerald Levin only felt a little bitter in his mouth.

$21.76 million on the first day, then the box office should be around $60 million in the first three days of the first weekend, and $90 million in the first seven days in the first week.

$90 million.

Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" three years ago also grossed just over $46 million in its first week.

"Jurassic Park" grossed $90 million in its first week, which has fully reached the blockbuster level of a DC Cinematic Universe project.

At the meeting on Wednesday, Levin proposed to renegotiate the confidence with Daenerys Entertainment, because Daenerys Entertainment is also very dependent on the DC movie universe and cannot easily turn his face.

Now, a "Jurassic Park" has directly overturned his argument.

More importantly, unlike the dc movie universe shared by both parties, "Jurassic Park" is entirely Daenerys Entertainment's own project, and the profits are all owned by the other party. In other words, a "Jurassic Park" with a box office volume equivalent to the DC movie universe, the revenue brought to Daenerys Entertainment is actually equivalent to two DC movie universe projects.

Gerald Levine also knew that from the beginning, Daenerys Entertainment's plan for Jurassic Park was a trilogy.

In terms of dependence, Daenerys Entertainment, which has been occupying a large number of places in the annual box office list in recent years, is not as dependent on the DC movie universe as Time Warner Group.

Now with Jurassic Park, the next question is probably whether Daenerys Entertainment wants to renegotiate to get more of the benefits from the DC Cinematic Universe project.

Sitting in front of the computer for a while, Gerald Levin finally picked up the phone and asked his assistant to arrange a call between himself and Simon Westeros.

The Simons are in Melbourne, but they have been paying attention to the "lively" scene in North America in recent days.

After Gerald Levin's remarks at an internal meeting came to light, Simon quickly received a call from Terry Semel, who sincerely stated that as long as he could continue to run Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Films There will be absolutely no change in the cosmic plan.

Later, when the first-day box office of "Jurassic Park" came out, Levin called.

Simon's mentality about this is more of a stand-by.

How can he not see through the twists and turns of the two worlds.

Although it is indeed very hopeful that Gerald Levin's plan to take over Rose's position will be ruined if he mobilizes his existing influence, Simon can't think of any reason to do so.

Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group are, after all, competitors in the same media industry.

As long as you have a little brain, you should understand that it is definitely much better to keep a competitor in an unstable state of infighting for a long time than a single-minded enemy.

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment is very strong in the media and has no intention of backing down, in private, Simon's instructions to Amy Pascal are very simple: just watch the fun.

Things raged until Sunday, December 20, when another piece of news came.

Steve Ross died at the East Hampton estate on the evening of December 20 at the age of 65. The media mogul of the era of Rupert Murdoch and Sam Redstone has largely lost to time.

The North American media was flooded with news about Ross's death for a while, and a large number of Hollywood filmmakers also expressed their condolences.

Simon did not return to North America to see each other for the last time before Ross died. Although the relationship between the two parties was good, it was not yet to that extent. However, Simon also accepted the invitation of the Ross family, planning to attend the other party's funeral on December 27 a week later.

For this reason, the time to return to North America can only be advanced, and it is impossible to spend the New Year in Melbourne.

While Time Warner Group expressed its condolences on Ross's death, it did not announce Ross's successor for the first time.

Clearly, the internal power game continues.

The end of the year schedule in North America will not be greatly affected by the death of a media tycoon.

After $21.76 million on the first day, "Jurassic Park" continued to flourish, hitting $60.31 million at the box office in its first weekend and three days.

Finally, when the first week of screening ended, this prehistoric monster movie, which brought strong visual shock to the audience, has reached an astonishing $91.38 million at the box office in seven days.

Even though Daenerys Entertainment has become somewhat accustomed to the consecutive box office miracles that have been created in recent years, most of the media are still amazed by the first-week box office of "Jurassic Park".

At the same time, Gerald Levin's remarks at Warner's internal meeting were once again hyped by some ulterior motives.

With $91.38 million in the first week, Jurassic Park almost guaranteed the domestic box office of "Jurassic Park", which started at $300 million in North America.

With the theme of this dinosaur movie, the overseas box office will not be too different.

In addition, with the "Jurassic Park" box office explosion, the film's peripheral sales also quickly became popular. Regarding the development of peripheral products for "Jurassic Park", this is directly reflected in the peripheral store shots in the film. Moreover, a large number of dinosaur characters appearing in the film are also very suitable for peripheral development.

Although there is no official data from Daenerys Entertainment, many media have confirmed that the project "Jurassic Park" is expected to bring benefits to Daenerys Entertainment, no less than a DC movie universe blockbuster.

more accurate because dc movies

Cosmic projects are often Daenerys and Time Warner cooperation, need to share profits, the income of "Jurassic Park", for Daenerys Entertainment, may even be equivalent to the revenue of two dc movie universe films.

In this case, Daenerys Entertainment seems to be more inclined to the development of "Jurassic Park", even if it is to suppress the DC movie universe, it is completely worthwhile.

Not only that, when the first weekend of "Jurassic Park" was released, Daenerys Entertainment executives have already revealed the sequel development plan.

This phenomenal dinosaur movie was planned from the beginning as a trilogy.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Renee Russell, the heroine of the film, also proved that she had signed a trilogy contract at the beginning, and also revealed some insider stories that are more interesting to fans. If the DC movie universe is the same, Simon Westeros has planned the plot of the trilogy from the very beginning.

Although Steven Spielberg later stated in the media that his next focus of work is to try his best to complete the "Schindler's List" project, he does not seem to be so focused on directing the sequel to "Jurassic Park", However, with Simon Westeros himself at the bottom, no one would doubt that the "Jurassic Park" series would be unsustainable without Spielberg.

Even some media criticized that "Jurassic Park" is not so perfect, the plot of the film is too routine, and relying on a little girl's scream to advance the plot is too blunt. If Spielberg drops directing, the sequel, with Simon Westero at the helm, could be of a higher quality.

For traditional big Hollywood studios, a big-selling trilogy is often enough to eat for ten years. Like Paramount's Raiders of the Lost Ark franchise in the eighties, Universal's Back to the Future franchise and Columbia Pictures' Ghostbusters franchise.

"Jurassic Park" is a big-selling project with a domestic box office of 300 million, not to mention three, even this one, through the whole set of operations of global box office, video tape sales, TV broadcasting and peripheral development, it is enough for a big movie The company eats for five years.

Relying on such a blockbuster, coupled with the fact that Daenerys Entertainment has occupied a large number of places in the box office list in recent years, the question now is whether Daenerys should re-target Time Warner. The distribution of benefits for the DC Cinematic Universe has been negotiated.
