The former "Titanic", because it was released on Christmas Day, as long as it leads the Christmas schedule, it will be the off-season at the box office, and it can continue to lead the box office. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test
In fact, this is also the case. "Titanic" once topped the North American weekly box office charts for 15 consecutive weeks!
Such a mythical record is of course impossible to put in the summer file.
Even Dunn was mentally prepared to give up the position to "Jurassic Park 2" after being the top weekly box office for two weeks.
Thursday's advance box office, "Jurassic Park 2" raked in 9.5 million US dollars, Friday's box office was 19 million US dollars, Saturday's box office was 00 million US dollars, and Sunday's box office was 18.6 million US dollars. The total box office for the first week exceeded 70 million US dollars!
Such first-week box office data is second only to "Jurassic Park 1" and "Titanic", ranking third in film history, which is also a good ranking.
But Steven Spielberg couldn't laugh at all.
Because the box office of "Titanic" in the same week was even hotter, exceeding 85 million US dollars, and the decline was less than 15%!
Such a sky-defying box office trend shocked the entire Hollywood, and also made Spielberg smile wryly and mourn.
Even the first-week box office can't compare to "Titanic", it is conceivable that after this, "Jurassic Park 2" will never have a chance to suppress "Titanic".
In fact, this is indeed the case.
In the 4th week of the release of "Titanic", the box office still exceeded 60 million US dollars, and the total box office in North America has reached 330 million US dollars!
And the box office drop of "Jurassic Park 2" exceeded 50%, and the box office of the week was only a little over 30 million US dollars. According to market estimates, the North American box office of this movie is just over 200 million.
Failed miserably!
Before the two films were released, "Titanic" was the joke of the entire Hollywood, and even the entire United States, while "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was a highly anticipated blockbuster!
But the result?
"Titanic" is like a giant, crushing everything along the way, even the dinosaurs that have always amazed and awed movie fans have to humbly give way.
Shame on you!
Since Steven Spielberg became famous for filming "Jaws", he has become the godfather of Hollywood commercial films.
This also made Spielberg, who is of Jewish descent, more and more inflated in Hollywood, and even ambitiously went out independently and opened a DreamWorks film industry that wanted to compete with the six major film companies!
Unexpectedly, this summer, a child under the age of twenty stepped on his head and became famous in one fell swoop!
With Steven Spielberg's status and prestige, he naturally wouldn't degenerate to deliberately embarrassing younger directors, but it's true that he feels uncomfortable.
Just like when big-name directors like Francis Coppola, Woody Allen, and Stanley Kubrick were upset with him!
Entering June, several more commercial blockbusters were released. Under the siege of "Con Air", "Men in Black", "Speed 2", and "Batman and Robin", "Titanic" finally gave up the top spot at the box office. The weekly box office fell sharply, exceeding 55%, and dropped to 30 million US dollars.
Especially "Men in Black" starring Will Smith is another big surprise this summer. The first-week box office exceeded 65 million US dollars,
and its cool and gorgeous scenes caused quite a stir.
Such a result naturally squeezed the living space of "Jurassic Park 2" even more.
At the end of June, the North American box office of "Jurassic Park 2" was only 180 million US dollars, while "Titanic" broke through 400 million US dollars and reached 450 million US dollars!
The various records that "Jurassic Park 1" broke back then were all shattered in front of "Titanic".
The official stage of the summer vacation is from July to September, so there is a wave of enthusiasm for "Titanic" all over the world. The film has not yet been released in many places. So far, the overseas box office is only 340 million US dollars.
Even so, the total global box office of "Titanic" has reached 800 million US dollars, and everything is moving towards the figure predicted by Dunn Walker!
On July 1st, Cameron, Dunn , Leonardo and others flew to the UK in Cameron's private jet to attend the UK premiere.
Starting today, "Titanic" will be officially released to the world!
It can be expected that in the next two or three months, the box office of the film will have a crazy growth.
In the UK, everyone saw Kate Winslet with a slightly haggard face.
"How are you?"
As her two best friends in the crew, Dunn and Leonardo hugged her caringly.
Kate tucked her hair and forced a smile, "I'm fine."
Dunn frowned, "Did that guy make things difficult for you?"
Kate returned to UK a month ago to deal with the termination of the engagement. Judging from her face, the situation seems to be not so good.
Kate's pretty face was extremely disappointed, she shook her head, "It's okay, I can handle it."
Leonardo said displeasedly: "Kate, don't you treat us as friends?"
Kate felt the concern of the two, and sighed: "The matter has been resolved, I paid a hush money."
"Hush money?"
Dunn and Leonardo's expressions changed. They didn't expect things to develop so badly. Her fiance...that person...has such a bad character?
"Forget it, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem." Dunn patted Kate's arm, "As long as the trouble is solved, I still have some cash in my hand, if you need help..."
Kate finally smiled happily, "Thank you, Dunn , I don't need it for the time being, but... I think I need to take on a movie right away."
Dunn nodded, "Okay, don't tire yourself out, remember, no matter what the future holds, Leon and I will always stand behind you."
Leonardo also expressed his opinion immediately.
Kate was a little moved, and hugged the two briefly, "Thank you, it is my luck to have two good friends like you."
…
Dunn 's assistant George Paxton also came to London, and Dunn had a very important task for him.
"George, go to major bookstores immediately to find fantasy and magic books for teenagers. Remember, they are not fairy tales."
Dunn naturally couldn't directly reveal the title of the book, that would be too unbelievable.
George is mediocre, but his brain is good, "Dunn , do you want to create a fantasy movie for teenagers?"
Dunn once asked him to inquire about the copyright of "Lord of the Rings", and found that it had been purchased by New Line Cinema, and was cooperating with Peter Jackson to bring this epic classic to the big screen.
George naturally thought of Dunn 's idea.
Dunn did not deny, "It is true."
George frowned: "Dunn , you know... I'm not good at negotiating. I think it's better for your agent to come forward on this matter."
"William?"
Dunn curled his lips, his face showing disdain.
He was very disappointed with his agent, William Mihawk, and almost fired him.
With the popularity of "Titanic", Dunn has received more and more invitations to direct. William Mihawk seems to be a bumpkin who has never seen the world. A movie invitation with an investment of 18 million can also make him happy. , happily flattered Dunn .
Dunn knew that although he was the director of "Titanic", his qualifications and age were too poor, and no film company would take such a big risk to hand over a commercial blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million to him. In contrast, commercial directors such as Steven Spielberg, Mel Gibson, and Ridley Scott, who have many successful works, are safer.
But as Dunn 's agent, William Mihawk can't be hungry, right?
So Dunn completely lost trust in this incompetent agent, and it was impossible to entrust him with such an important task.
"It's okay, I know it well, you go and do it."
A little loss in the negotiation cannot change Dunn 's determination.
What's more, he knows the general trend of the future.
Using temporary loss of benefits to pursue longer-term benefit guarantees, this is the advantage that reborn people should bring.
