Chapter 251: Counterattack to Win the Championship (Third Update)

"Bastard, I told you to be lighter, lighter, you just don't listen, the costume is broken, how can I give it back to others!" Da Meiyuan complained while pinching Chen Hao.

"You can't blame me, you can only blame you for being so beautiful!" Chen Hao smiled and hugged Da Meiyuan and said.

Da Meiyuan was happy when she heard this, but she said, "Then it's my fault?"

"It's so beautiful that I can't control it. Chen Hao licked his face and said.

Da Meiyuan glanced at Chen Hao with disgust when she heard this, and then touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go out and eat something!"

"No, I made some food before, just heat it up. Chen Hao immediately jumped out of bed when he heard this.

Da Meiyuan looked at Chen Hao, who went to cook for herself, her heart moved slightly, and she thought of the intimacy between the two just now, and covered her head with a quilt shyly.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Hao warmed up the previous meal and brought it directly to the bed.

Da Meiyuan, who is overly physically exhausted, doesn't care that this is the bed, and eats directly.

Then I saw Chen Hao staring at himself and smiling, covering his red lips and saying embarrassedly, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"It's delicious, I'm already full when I look at you!" Chen Hao smiled.

Da Meiyuan smeared honey in her heart when she heard this, but her face was full of amorous white eyes Chen Hao, and then ignored him and continued to eat.

Chen Hao saw that Da Meiyuan was eating well, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then they ate together.

After eating, Da Meiyuan got up and cleaned up, then came back and lay directly in Chen Hao's arms, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"What's next?" asked Chen Hao, caressing Da Meiyuan's smooth skin.

"Huh?" Da Meiyuan hugged Chen Hao, closed her beautiful eyes, and didn't want to move.

"My company is going to shoot two TV series recently, are you interested?" Chen Hao asked as he looked at the lazy Da Meiyuan in his arms.

Hearing this, Da Meiyuan opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Hao, then closed her eyes and said, "No need, I have already taken a script!"

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, sighed, and said no more.

Seeing that Chen Hao didn't say anything more, Da Meitang rubbed her little head again, closed her eyes and recuperated!

Chen Hao looked at the glamorous pretty face and was a little moved.

Da Meiyuan seemed to realize something, opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Hao, and then saw Chen Hao's handsome face getting bigger and bigger!

......

In the following days, Chen Hao was tired of being with Zhou Zhiruo, but not only the costume was broken, but even the Yitian Sword was broken!

Chen Hao, who was complained to death by Da Meiyuan, could only buy an identical costume in the end, as well as a big sword for Da Meiyuan to return to the crew.

Happy times always pass quickly, and a week is fleeting, and Chen Hao received last week's North American weekend box office rankings from Davis!

North American Weekend Box Office Charts (January 9, 2004 – January 11, 2004):

No. 1, "District 9", released for 17 days, Tianqi Pictures, with a weekend box office of $21.84 million, a cumulative box office of $87.49 million, and 3,700 theaters;

......

In the last week of the North American Film Market, there was a counterattack that shocked everyone.

The critically acclaimed "District 9" earned $21.84 million over the course of three days over the weekend with a 3% drop in its third week of release.

After two weeks of being runner-up, he finally won the championship in the third week and became the top of the North American weekend box office chart last week!

The championship of "District 9" undoubtedly shattered the glasses, and Chen Hao didn't expect that "District 9" would have a chance to win the box office championship!

It can only be said that the holiday stalls are known for their long-term blockbusters, and the successive holiday weekends have allowed the box office of the movie to always remain at a high level.

Of course, the quality and reputation of "District 9" are also an important factor, and this is a critical period for major films to rush to the Olympics.

Affected by the upcoming announcement of the Oscar nominations, movies with a good reputation will naturally get more attention, and the Oscar effect is already in play.

In addition to the big event of "District 9" counterattacking to win the championship, the runner-up in the box office list last week also caused a lot of controversy.

Director Tim Burton's family sci-fi film "Big Fish" was in its first weekend of large-scale release, according to Columbia Pictures review data released on Sunday.

It was the runner-up at the North American box office this weekend with $14.5 million in box office sales, and the film was distributed by Columbia Pictures, but this assessment was questioned by several studios.

New Line Pictures claims that its company's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has achieved higher box office revenue than "Big Fish" and is a well-deserved box office runner-up.

According to the New Line review report, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" earned a total of $14.1 million this weekend, while "Big Fish" grossed about $13.7 million.

David Tuckerman, distribution manager at New Line Pictures, commented on Columbia Pictures' estimates, saying, "Their estimates are a little bit overestimated."

New Line's view was echoed by two other studio executives who did not want to be identified, with one said that "Columbia seems a little too overbearing."

Roy Bruch, distribution manager at Columbia Pictures, refuted this, claiming that their estimates were reasonable.

Which is right and which is wrong? The film companies released more precise data on Monday.

"Big Fish" had been screened on a small scale for the previous four weekends.

The film finished 12th at the box office last weekend, when it was released in 125 theaters, and now it is in 2,405 theaters.

It achieved a weekend box office of $14.5 million, surpassing the $14.1 million of "The Lord of the Rings 3" in one fell swoop and becoming the runner-up on the list!

However, the gap between the two films is indeed very small, only $400,000!

So far, "Big Fish" has grossed $24.1 million at the box office.

And "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has earned $312 million at the box office in its four weeks of release.

The film officially crossed the $300 million mark on Friday, 10 days earlier than its predecessor, The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers, achieved the same result.

In addition, Steve Martin's "A Basket of Children" ranked No. 4 this weekend with $12 million at the box office.

The hit comedy grossed $100.1.4 million after three weekends of release.

Jack Nicholson's romantic comedy "Love is a Compromise," a collaboration with Diana Keaton, reached No. 5 this weekend, with box office sales of $8.2 million.

In the five weekends since its release, the film has grossed $93 million at the box office, and the film is still distributed by Columbia Pictures.
