Simon believes that as long as the Hearst family doesn't lose their minds, things will stop there.

A family that has accumulated a century of history may be deeply rooted, but it will inevitably lose its spirit.

It is difficult for the current Hearst Group to recklessly make 'innovations' such as provoking the Spanish-American War. When confronted with an opponent who is strong enough to play cards unreasonably, it will inevitably give birth to some points that he is a porcelain and does not cooperate with him. The timidity of tile care.

What's more, the opponent this time is not a tile, but more like an iron lump.

In the following days, news came from North America that William Hearst III fired most of the servants in the family, and the matter was not only stabbed in the newspapers, but some people tried to initiate a lawsuit.

Obviously the Hearst family also reacted.

Of course, it would cost Hearst $1 million to bribe Simon's people, and Simon's bribes to deliver gifts to the Hearst family would be much cheaper.

There are also anecdotal newspapers reporting that a man and woman in San Francisco were abducted by aliens on a date and woke up thousands of miles away in a remote seaport town on Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, sitting in their original in the car.

The southern hemisphere is in the midst of a cold winter, and Tierra del Fuego is already within the Antarctic Circle.

It is rumored that the two people who had been in a coma for a week woke up extremely weak, and even nearly froze to death. Many people in the harbor town proved that they had seen the white Toyota car with a photo of San Francisco and the two people in the car.

It's just that the news quickly disappeared without a large-scale spread.

It seems that a big hand is preventing the further expansion of the matter. Even the photos taken by residents of the port town of Tierra del Fuego have been bought, and the identities of the man and woman have never been exposed.

Apparently, the evil government is monopolizing news of alien abductions again.

Traditional media can't get more information, and many forums on the Internet are discussing the mystery in a prudent manner, and some people call on the federal government to reveal the truth.

Naturally no response.

The Simons arrived in Melbourne on June 15 and set off for their return on June 25.

Meanwhile, another box-office week from June 18 to June 24 has passed.

"Superman", which was released in the third week of its release, shrunk to 32% this week, and continued to make $41.33 million, easily winning the single-week box office championship. The cumulative box office in three weeks officially exceeded $200 million, reaching $214.76 million.

The second place on the list is not "The Phantom Hero", which has the highest attention, but the popular romantic film "Sleepless in Seattle" starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Relying on its excellent word of mouth and popularity, this romantic film with a screen size of 2,369 won a box office of 33.81 million US dollars in the first week and seven days, with an average of 14,000 US dollars.

Perhaps the most complicated thing for other Hollywood studios is the cost of Sleepless in Seattle.

As a romance film, although Tom Hanks' remuneration reached the first-line $8 million level, the final cost of the film was only $25 million.

The box office in just the first week has already exceeded the production cost of the film. Considering the long-term nature of topical romance films, the film started with 33.81 million US dollars, and it is not difficult for the total domestic box office to break through 100 million. Daenerys Entertainment and Disney just made it through the local box office. Can make a fortune.

This week's No. 3 "Phantom Hero" is a stark contrast to "Sleepless in Seattle."

With a production cost of $85 million and a publicity budget of $30 million, the box office in the first week and seven days was only $21.93 million, and the opening of the gallery did not even reach $10,000.

In contrast to the sluggish box office, the film's reputation was also bleak.

The media generally predict that the box office of "Phantom Heroes" will drop by more than 40% in the next week, and the final North American box office is likely to be only about 50 million US dollars.

With a total investment of 115 million US dollars and a North American box office forecast of 50 million US dollars, it is obvious that the huge losses of the project are unavoidable. Even if relying on Schwarzenegger's overseas box office appeal to double the overseas box office to 100 million US dollars, Columbia Pictures can only recover more than 60 million US dollars. At least in the next year, Columbia will bear a huge loss of at least 50 million US dollars.

With the huge loss of "Phantom Heroes", Sony could no longer let the film company that was acquired with huge sums of money at the time, and took the initiative to send a working group to Los Angeles. Hollywood media predicts that Peter Cooper, who is in charge of Columbia Pictures, is not far from stepping down.

The last new film "Tremendous Conspiracy", which opened last week, had a box office of $11.69 million in the first week of its opening. Compared with the opening scale of 1,517 screens, the museum was all $7,705. The box office performance was not too bad, but it was not bad. Far less than the "Hand Shaking the Cradle" three years ago.

According to the film's opening box office and word-of-mouth status, it is tentatively predicted that the film's total North American box office is about 30 million US dollars.

The production budget of "Thriller" is 12 million US dollars, and the North American box office is 30 million US dollars. In a popular schedule such as the summer vacation, it obviously did not meet the expectations of New World Pictures. However, the profitability of the project is a certainty.

On June 25, the day Simon returned to North America, three new films were released in the summer, namely "Superstar Dad" starring Michael Fox by Disney and "Body Heat Edge" starring Nick Kidman produced by MGM. And Goldman Films produced the rock actress Tina Turner's music biopic "What to Do with Love".

"Superstar Dad" and "Body Heat Edge" are both typical summer commercial films, Simon

What is more concerned about is the Tina Turner biopic "What to Do with Love" produced by Gaomen Pictures.

Tina Turner, a female rock star in her fifties this year, can be described as a typical late bloomer. As a mixed descendant of black and Indian, Tina Turner, who started her career at the age of 16, did not taste it until the early 1980s. The taste of being a big hit, the singer was over forty at the time.

Then it became popular throughout the 1980s, during which it also starred in "Mad Max 3" starring Mel Gibson.

The film "What to Do with Love" is not about Tina Turner's experience after she became popular, but her 16-year bumpy marriage. The singer married her mentor and Bole Aike Turner at the age of 16. , The marriage lasted for 16 years, during which Ike Turner had been violent to Tina Turner for a long time. After the last conflict, the actress finally decided to leave, not even getting a cent of the property during their marriage.

Later, when many people thought that without Ike Turner's resources and channels, Tina Turner would be devastated, after a few years of silence, Tina Turner, who was over forty, became popular again, and she was a big hit. Violet made everyone stunned.

"What's With Love" was one of Tina Turner's best-selling lead singles from the 1980s, and it just so happened to be the title of the film because it fits the theme of the story.

Music biopics are a very important subject in Hollywood. However, two years ago, Oliver Stone's film "The Door" about The Doors was still close to a box office failure. The team is not sure whether the project will be successful. The budget of the film is 15 million US dollars, which is not high in the whole Hollywood level, nor is it low for Gaomen Pictures, which mainly focuses on low-cost literary films.

In the end, it was Simon who made the decision himself.

It's a risk.

Because there is not much information about the film in memory, the film obviously did not reach the level of big sales. However, with an investment of $15 million, even if the box office fails, Highgate Pictures is enough to bear the loss.

Due to the uncertainty of the film's box office prospects, the number of screens for "What to Do with Love" is only 107. In this summer, it is a very conservative distribution strategy.

In the end, the box office of "What to Do with Love" did not disappoint.

The average of the three-day pavilion in the first weekend of the painting exceeded 17,000 US dollars. From June 25th to July 1st, the first-week seven-day pavilion of "What to Do with Love" reached 33,000 US dollars, just relying on 107 screens to harvest made $3.61 million at the box office.

You know, the Disney comedy "Superstar Dad" released in the same period has 1,366 screens, more than ten times that of "What to Do with Love", and the box office in the first seven days is only 4.39 million US dollars.

"Body Heat Edge" starring Nick Kidman had the best box office performance among the three new films in the same period, with a box office of $16.38 million in the first week of filming, exceeding MGM's expectations. The film's total North American box office is expected to be 4,000. Between $10,000 and $50 million. The production budget of "Body Heat Edge" is 20 million US dollars, and the publicity budget is 8 million US dollars. Just relying on the North American box office can basically recover the total investment in production and publicity.

In terms of old films, after a relatively large drop of more than 30% for two consecutive weeks, the box office drop of "Superman" in the fourth week of release finally narrowed to 23%. Location. The film also grossed $346.59 million in four weeks.

Because the three new films this week are not strong, "Sleepless in Seattle" fell only 21% at the box office in the second week, and made another $26.72 million.

Within two weeks of the film's opening, "Sleepless in Seattle" has achieved a cumulative box office of 60.53 million US dollars. The project has begun to realize profitability. The film's total North American box office is expected to reach 120 million to 130 million US dollars, becoming another Hollywood movie in 1993. A box office hit.

Moreover, with the success of "Sleepless in Seattle", the videotape of the old Hollywood classic love film "Jinyumeng" frequently mentioned in the film also suddenly became popular.

Just two weeks after the film was released, 300,000 boxes of "Jinyumeng" videotapes were quickly sold. Blockbuster relied on Nancy Brill's continuous optimization of the corporate information feedback system in this unexpected videotape sale. , responded immediately, more than 200,000 boxes of 300,000 boxes of "Jinyumeng" videotapes in the previous two weeks have entered Blockbuster channels for sale or lease.

Of course, the biggest winner is Fox, which holds the copyright of "Jinyumeng".

In two weeks, 300,000 cassettes were sold. With the popularity of "Sleepless in Seattle", the total sales of "Jinyumeng" cassettes is expected to reach 2 million cassettes. Fox is tantamount to picking up tens of millions of dollars in profit in vain. . "The Hollywood Reporter" even teased that "Golden Jade Alliance" may be Fox's most profitable film this summer.

In Simon's view, it is almost the same.

Fox has a total of four new release plans this summer. The original 3D animated film "Once Upon a Time in the Forest" has ended in failure, and the other three are not blockbuster projects in Simon's memory.

On July 2, North American theaters entered the most important week of the summer vacation. Although this year's Independence Day holiday falls on Sunday, as usual, the North American audience's enthusiasm for watching movies will increase significantly this week.

"Sugar-Coated Trap", which Daenerys Pictures invested and released on its own, was released on this day, with 2,393 screens.

The other two new films are heavyweights.

"The Rising Sun" produced by Fox, starring Sean Connery, has a production budget of $35 million and a screen count of 2,177.

Columbia Pictures

The comedy "Honeymoon Dangerous Period" produced by Samsung's subsidiary, starring Mike Myers, is also the star's first film outside the "Fighting Wisdom" series, with a budget of $20 million and a number of screens. 1731 blocks.

In addition, after earning an average of $33,000 in the first week, Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures produced "What to Do with Love", the number of screens shown this week has also increased directly from 107 to 863. It is planned to It will reach around 1500 in the next week.

The competition has intensified significantly, and "Superman", which has maintained its single-week box office championship for four weeks, has finally been pushed out of the first place.

However, from July 2nd to July 8th, due to the significant increase in the number of viewers during the Solitude Day holiday, the weekly decline of "Superman" narrowed to 19% again, and the fifth week of its release was 25.76 million US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 2 It is expected to exceed the 300 million mark in the next two weeks.

The Warner Bros. distribution team also adjusted the North American box office forecast for "Superman" to a range of $350 million to $370 million.

The three new films that opened on July 2, "The Rising Sun" starring Sean Connery and "Honeymoon Dangerous" starring Mike Myers seem to be the most likely to sell well, but it turns out that Keanu · Reeves starring "Sugar-Coated Trap" got the highest box office, and "Superman" squeezed out the single-week box office champion.

In the first week of the painting, relying on the popularity of the original novel and the $20 million publicity budget directly invested by Daenerys Pictures, "Sugar-Coated Trap"'s seven-day box office reached $36.18 million in the first week. As a large-scale commercial film, the museum reached a very successful $15,000.

From the original bad boy boyfriend in "Lola Run" to the cute boy in "The Adventures of Abbie" to the tough guy in "Fright Point", this time, Keanu Reeves has successfully shaped the A struggling and contradictory image of a lawyer.

With the success of "The Sugar Coated Trap", the well-informed Hollywood media will inevitably add fuel to the flames or fan the flames, saying that Keanu Reeves has replaced Tom Cruise's popular niche in the 1980s.

As long as the North American box office of "Sugar-Coated Trap" exceeds 100 million, it will basically become a fact.

The box office in the first week was 36.18 million US dollars, and "Sugar-Coated Trap" broke 100 million basically without suspense.

In contrast, despite the brilliance of "Top Gun", Tom Cruise's tendency to go downhill in recent years is very obvious, and there is no new film released this summer.

Sean Connery's "The Rising Sun" ranked third on the list for the week of the Independence Day holiday after "Sugar-coated Trap" and "Superman". The outlook also depends on the follow-up trend.

Mike Myers' "Honeymoon Jeopardy" was a complete failure.

In the first seven days of the first week of filming, "Honeymoon Dangerous Period" only received 5.36 million US dollars at the box office, and the average hall was less than 3,000 US dollars, which was far lower than the producer's expectations. It is expected that the theater will be launched in two weeks.

Mike Myers was still performing at the box office of "Honeymoon Dangerous Period" in order to gain more initiative in the salary negotiation of the third film of "Reverse Wisdom". In addition to the box office appeal of the "Fighting Wisdom and Many Stars" series, the comedy actor not only failed to gain the initiative he wanted, but became more passive.
