Monday, April 13.

Under the close attention of countless people, the box office data for the past three days of the weekend was officially released.

"Butterfly Effect", despite the one-sided negative reviews from the media, still reaped $14.31 million at the box office in the first three days of the first weekend, winning the North American box office champion position in the three days of the weekend without any suspense.

With the popularity of "Lola Run", many people had expected that the box office of "Butterfly Effect" in the first weekend would not be too bad, but under the bombardment of the media's negative reviews, the box office of the film in the first three days of the first weekend was 14.31 million US dollars. Eye-catching.

A little comparison, it is not difficult to see how amazing this box office number is.

In the same period, Michael Fox's new work "Road to Development" is obviously ahead of "The Butterfly Effect" in terms of marketing offensive and film layout. Although the media evaluation is not high, it is far better than "The Butterfly Effect".

However, the three-day box office of "Development Road" in the first weekend was only 7.76 million US dollars, which is only half of "The Butterfly Effect".

After "Road to Development", although the box office fell again under the influence of two new films, "Lola Run", which entered its ninth week of release, still had a three-day box office of 7.19 million, and the cumulative box office officially exceeded 150 million US dollars.

Looking at the unstoppable crazy data of this phenomenal "event movie", many people also instantly understand why the box office of "The Butterfly Effect" can double the second place in the first weekend.

A "Lola Run", from the plot to the props, from the dialogue to the camera, countless details are tirelessly instilling the concept of the 'butterfly effect' to the audience, even director Simon Westeros in the original nbc "Late Night Show". ", he personally admitted that the purpose of his shooting "Lola Run" was to annotate and pave the way for "The Butterfly Effect".

"Lola Run" has achieved an unexpectedly great success, and tens of millions of viewers who have watched this film are naturally more curious about "The Butterfly Effect". Therefore, the first weekend box office of "The Butterfly Effect" is obviously still a shrinking data after being affected by strong negative reviews.

But even so, according to the box office trend of the three-day opening weekend, Fox still needs only one week to recover all the production costs. The question now is where the Butterfly Effect's subsequent box-office curve will go.

You know, the box office of $14.31 million in the first weekend is definitely a seed movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America in this era.

If this goal can be achieved, Fox, whose performance has been sluggish for several years, will finally be able to get another film with a North American box office exceeding 100 million. However, under the current media reputation, if the subsequent box office trend drops sharply, it is naturally impossible to break through 100 million US dollars.

As a result, Ronald Goldberg, president of Fox Pictures, who was worried that "Butterfly Effect" would fail at the box office under strong negative reviews, saw the box office data for the first weekend of three days, not only did not relax, but became more worried about gains and losses.

the other side.

In the new week, the news that Hollywood genius director Simon Westeros broke up with Janet Johnston, the daughter of the Australian mining tycoon, also quickly logged on the important pages of major media.

Although Simon's public relations manager, Pat Kingsley, issued a statement immediately, saying that the two were only temporarily separated for a period of time due to some emotional confusion, the media apparently dismissed this "official rhetoric".

In just a few days, all kinds of speculation flooded the newspapers.

"According to insiders, the reason for Simon Westeros and Janet Johnston's breakup is the uneven distribution of benefits from "Lola Run". Rough statistics, "Lola Run" is expected to bring $110 million to the producer Janet Johnston owns 61.5% of the net income, or about $67 million, far exceeding Simon Westeros' share."

"Simon Westeros moved out of Palisades mansion Monday morning."

"Simon Westeros rumored to transfer 'Lola Run' proceeds to The Westeros Company or start a lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend."

"Janet Johnston is unaffected by the breakup and has an appointment with a well-known art dealer in Los Angeles."

"The new untitled Westeros film is officially approved, and Daenerys Pictures president Amy Pascal declined to comment on the breakup."

"'Sisterhood' lover, Simon Westeros is dating 'Blade Runner' heroine Sean Young, nine years apart."

"John Travolta Confirmed for New Westeros Movie."

"Janet Johnston and Katherine Bigelow have lunch, and the two women are close, dispelling rumors that Katherine's involvement led to a love affair."

"..."

"..."

Compared with those Hollywood couples who made news every three days, Simon and Janet were too low-key before.

So, when the rumors of the two breaking up were confirmed, and there may be hundreds of millions of dollars in disputes over interests, the entire North American media was instantly excited. For a time, the two were surrounded by a large number of paparazzi again when they went out and about, and their every move would be interpreted in various messes.

Simon anticipated this situation in advance, leaving the rather private cliff-side mansion in Palisades to Janet, who later moved to the Century Building next to Fox Studios.

The Century Building located in Century City is two 28-storey high-level apartments side by side, with closed management, and many celebrities, including Michael Douglas, live here, so they can also be isolated from media harassment.

The paparazzi in Los Angeles may not have the legendary London

Crazy, but definitely the most numerous. Due to the close anticipation of Simon and Janet's "litigation battle", the next week was full of excitement around the two.

Simon's attitude towards paparazzi is almost indifferent, and work such as media response and image maintenance has always been handed over to Pat Kingsley with confidence. Therefore, no matter the number of paparazzi around, this incident did not cause him any trouble.

In comparison, the sudden separation from Janet made Simon's life a little confusing.

For more than half a year, perhaps since the first time she helped Simon rent a villa in Montana, Janet has taken over Simon's daily life unknowingly. From the electrical furniture in the residence to Simon's towel and toothbrush, women will help him take care of it unknowingly.

Now, suddenly back to being single, Simon finds that his ability to live has deteriorated a lot for a while.

Heart ah.

It must have been intentional.

When Simon called Janet to ask what brand of coffee he had been accustomed to for more than half a year, he 'questioned' by the way, and then the woman admitted it very proudly, looking like a little witch who had succeeded in her conspiracy.

Apart from these small details, Simon's work is not affected at all.

The new headquarters of Daenerys Pictures is located on 4th Street, not far from the beach in downtown Santa Monica.

Compared with the original three simple offices, the company completely rented a two-story white building at this time. Everyone's office, screening room, audition room and even the film's post-production studio are all available.

The schedule for "Death Is Coming" is set for October 23, and the company has recently been making every effort to promote casting.

As a teen horror film, "Death Comes" does not have high requirements for roles. In order to save the budget, Simon does not intend to use too well-known young actors. Plus there are so many characters in the movie. So, these days, the headquarters of Daenerys Pictures is definitely full of handsome men and beautiful women.

It is now the penultimate round of auditions.

Although Simon prefers to make the final rounds himself, in order to avoid Fox's doubts about whether the payment he paid is worth the money, he still participates as much as possible in the casting process.

"Thank you for coming today, Miss Clark, and we'll let you know the audition results as soon as possible."

Audition room.

Another tall girl with short blond hair finished the performance. Linda Vargas, the casting director Simon worked with last time in "Lola Run", formally dismissed the other party and was about to call the next one. The company hired Susan Landis, who was already the secretary of Simon's office at this time, the first staff member, pushed the door and came in and whispered something in Simon's ear.

"I'm going over here."

After listening, Simon nodded, greeted Wes Craven and Ron McMillan, and got up and left the audition room.

Wes Craven and others all know that Simon's mind is more on his own "Pulp Fiction", and he has also been looking for roles for this film in recent days, so they are not surprised by Simon's temporary departure.

Simon left the audition room, and the outer lounge extended to the corridor. At this time, there were more than a dozen beautiful girls with absolutely first-class body and appearance.

Seeing Simon's appearance, all the girls' eyes instantly lit up, and they got up and greeted warmly like 'Simon' and 'Mr. Westeros', and some girls boldly came over and secretly stuffed the note into Simon's pocket inside.

The girls obviously knew that Simon had recently become single, and the audition was even aimed at Simon.

If you can find such a boyfriend, even if you don't mention the help the other party can bring to your acting career, it's just that Simon Westeros's current net worth is already the golden tortoise-in-law that many girls dream of.

You know, Steven Spielberg, the hottest director in Hollywood, has actually accumulated a fortune of more than $200 million over the years. Simon Westeros made more than $40 million just from the "Lola Run" movie.

Multi-millionaires under the age of 20 are very rare in the world.

Simon just smiled and walked silently through the crowd, and it would be a lie to say he didn't enjoy being chased and surrounded by beautiful women. However, Simon didn't feel at all that he had broken up with Janet. As a human being, he is also not lacking in the disposition to resist this simple temptation.

Throwing a few cards in his pocket into the trash can in the corridor, Simon came to the outside of his office and waited for a man and a woman in the secretary room to get up at the same time.

"Mr. Lieberman, Miss Ryan, hello," Simon smiled and shook hands with the two of them, then said, "Come with me."

Having said that, and ordered Susan to make some coffee, Simon pushed the door and walked into his office. Turning to the reception area, the three of them sat down together, and Simon looked at the girl across the sofa seriously.

Meg Ryan.

One of the most famous American sweethearts, the original heroine of "When Harry Met Sally".

Meg Ryan is now just an unknown actress who has starred in several movies, and is best known for her role as a pilot's wife in last year's Top Gun.

Simon also thought that Meg Ryan's appearance in "Top Gun" was probably the result of offending the makeup artist. But at this time, seeing the real person, he couldn't help but be a little more disappointed.
