Chapter 343: Another dud
Back to Los Angeles, Joanna was separated from Eric. Although Eric hoped that the girl could move to the Sharp Manor for a while, Joanna did not want to, in her words, she didn’t want to meet some more. Case.
However, the girl accepted Eric's set of gold house in Beverly Hills, which is the second house that Eric sent. The former Famik Jensen also chose one. The villa is located near the Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, but it is far from the first mansion that Eric bought first, but instead is close to West Hollywood.
For Eric's current net worth, the villa worth about a million dollars is nothing, so Eric is looking forward to a day when his golden house will be able to surpass Howard Hughes.
The first thing to return to Los Angeles is of course the release of The Silent Lamb.
In the past two weeks, Hollywood did not show any box-office movies. Compared with the box office of the first week of the sequel to the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the same period last year, the films released in the past two weeks were only in the 6 The "Comprehensive Memories" released at the 1st of the month was a good-looking box office. "Comprehensive Memories" was the action blockbuster starring Schwarzenegger. It was also the first big-production movie released after the establishment of Sony Pictures.
Although the film received a $36 million box office in the first week, it still did not meet Sony's expectations, because the production cost of "Comprehensive Memories" was as high as $65 million, and the cost of issuing more than 30 million. North America needs to get close to 2 The $100 million box office can recover the cost.
However, judging from the film's first week results and the repercussions after the release, the film apparently has no potential to harvest a $200 million box office.
The other "Back to the Future 3", the box office of the next week fell by as much as 49%, only got 14 million box office, the box office broke 100 million completely hopeless. As for the ‘dumb bullet’ issued by Disney’s Bo Wei International, it’s not a good idea. Fireflies and Disney have spent a lot of time. Only the public’s attention to the film’s actor was removed.
The premiere of "The Silent Lamb" is not large, except for Eric. It is the starring role of the film, Judy Foster, Anthony Hopkins and others.
Of course, there are three producers of the film, Elizabeth Murdoch, Julia Roberts, and... Drew Barrymore.
Under Eric's ‘Treasure’, Xiao Nizi took Eric to the tg film company, and Eric knew that Shantou had a 30% stake in tgfilm. Moreover, "The Silent Lamb" also has a $3 million investment from Drew. This money is of course secretly drawn from the credit card that Eric gave her. Carolyn, who was responsible for taking care of Eric's personal finances. Eliot mentioned the abnormality of the credit card in Drew's hand. However, Eric didn't care too much. He believed that Xiao Nizi would not come.
Unexpectedly, I was able to see such a surprise now.
However, if the film really follows the original trajectory, the best film is obtained. It’s quite lively, because the best film is at most the three main producers of the film, and this Silent Lamb. There are just three people and three women on the producer's column.
The development of the matter is that, after waiting for the future Oscar, after the film was released in 1,500 theaters on June 8, the three female producers of "The Silent Lamb" became the same as the content of this movie, and became Hollywood in the following days. The hottest topic.
Because of a **** horror film about the cannibalism and the skinning killer, the producer turned out to be three beautiful women. This contrast is too big, not to mention. The star of the movie is also Hollywood's famous actress Judy Foster.
Under the influence of this strong topical effect and the film itself, the first three days of the week. "The Silent Lamb" got a box office of 14 million because of the r-rated rating of the movie and the limitations of the theater. This score is already very good. The box office statistics agency expects the film to receive nearly $20 million in the first week of the box office. Moreover, because of the good reputation, the film has been shown in the long-term, and the box office is very promising.
Here I have to mention another sad film, Disney's another 'dumb bomb' and "rocket expert."
The film has been in preparation for several years, and it is said that for some lens effects, Disney also deliberately spent a sum of money to develop a special camera bracket.
Under the influence of Eric’s butterfly effect, the Rocket Expert appeared one year ahead of schedule. Although the actor has not changed, it is still the unknown Bill Campbell. However, the heroine has been from previous generation Jennifer Connelly. Changed to Brooke. Xiaosi, because of the fame brought by the girl in the "Dark War" last year, Brooke. Xiaosi played a vase, but the film was paid in this movie by Bill Campbell. three times.
The tragedy is that this total investment is more than 40 million. It is a big production with a publicity cost of more than 20 million US dollars. It only got more than 9 million US dollars at the box office in the first three days of the week. It is inevitable to save the street.
Although Sony and Universal's two big production box offices are not as good as the movies of the same period last year, they are issued overseas, and it is sure to make a profit on the later video tapes. However, Disney's two consecutive "dumb bullets", the loss of money is also affirmative, because the box office results in North America is so bad, overseas issuance must be difficult, especially the first "dumb bomb", that kind of achievements overseas do not want to issue.
To this end, Eric deliberately studied several other films that will be released in the summer of this year, and found that in addition to the "Ghosts" released with Fireflies, several other Eric There is no impression. It seems that Disney’s financial statements for the next quarter will be quite ugly, that is, I don’t know what kind of reaction Michael Eisner will have.
After the Silent Lamb, the propaganda offensive of Firefly’s next film, Sleeping with the Enemy, was heated up. Of course, all of this was Robert Shea’s own operation, because of the resentment against Robert Shea. Eric simply did not ask, anyway, the film will certainly be successful, he just has to wait for the final collection of money.
Although I don't have to worry about "sleeping with the enemy", Eric doesn't have much leisure time, because he promised Cameron's current wife, Catherine Bigelow, to be the producer of "The Shock". At this time, I had to worry about this movie. (To be continued)
