On November 13, the second day of the Victoria's Secret TV broadcast, the Thanksgiving schedule opened.

Columbia Pictures' $40 million production cost of "400 Years of Horror" became the first film to open on a large scale during the Thanksgiving schedule, with 2,491 screens.

Gaomen Pictures' "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women" launched a small-scale screening on the same day.

As the key award-winning film of Gaomen Pictures this year, the number of opening screens of "Smelling a Woman" is only 20.

In addition to the two key films, there are also Godwin Pictures' "Red Lips Blood" and Orion Pictures' "Let the Grief End Before Sunrise" and other films were released at the same time, with a screen size of less than 300 yuan, which basically belongs to the cannon fodder level of the Thanksgiving schedule.

On the other hand, Daenerys Entertainment's Halloween release of "Midnight Bells", after a good start of $28.79 million in the first week from October 30 to November 5, with the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth and popularity, the box office fell by only a very slight 13% in the second week from November 6 to November 12, and earned $25.03 million again.

In just two weeks, the cumulative box office of this Japanese horror adaptation has reached $53.82 million.

Considering that the popular Thanksgiving schedule is next, and "Midnight Bell" has no other films of the same genre to compete with during this schedule, the distribution team of New World Pictures predicts that the total North American box office of this Japanese-style horror film is expected to reach more than $150 million.

The North American box office of more than $150 million was enough to ensure that "Midnight Bell" was firmly in the top 10 of the North American box office list in 1992.

In order to save costs, "Midnight Bells" was filmed in Australia, and Nicole Kidman's salary was not high, and with tax refunds, the final production budget of the film was only $13 million.

The production cost of $13 million, the North American box office of more than $150 million, and the return on box office cost of more than 10 times, make the whole Hollywood feel red.

And that's just the North American box office.

When the film is a success in North America, the subsequent overseas box office, videotape and television broadcast revenue will also rise.

The projected total profit of the entire project over the next few years will easily surpass all other Hollywood blockbusters except for the DC Cinematic Universe project.

When Simon bought the rights to adapt "Midnight Bell", Hollywood began to follow the trend and snap up the Japanese horror rights. With the success of "Midnight Bell", Hollywood suddenly has a lot of Japanese-style horror film projects on the preparation schedule.

Speaking of which, the key to the success of "Midnight Bell" is, in the final analysis, a new style of horror films, a horror movie model that is very different from the traditional Western screaming plasma murderer.

This model is based on oriental spirits, but it doesn't have to be based on oriental horror stories.

Haunting events in the West are actually very rich.

As a result, while other studios are trying to follow the trend of "Midnight Bell", Simon is asking New World Pictures President Danny Morris to find relevant materials that will take place in North America.

As of the release of "Midnight Bell", the cumulative box office of "Crying Game", which opened on September 25, reached $20.54 million.

In the two weeks from October 30 to November 12, "Crying Game" continued to earn $7.22 million and $5.37 million respectively with more than 500 screens, and the cumulative box office also continued to climb to $33.13 million.

The arrival of the Thanksgiving schedule will also slow down the downward curve of "Crying Games".

Gaomen Pictures predicts that the final North American box office of "Crying Game" is expected to be between $60 million and $70 million.

Moreover, this low-cost literary film with excellent box office and word-of-mouth will also become the focus of Gaomen Pictures in the next awards season together with "Smelling a Woman".

In Simon's memory, both films were nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture that year.

This time, as long as the box office performance of "Smell a Woman" in the next few weeks meets expectations, next year's awards season, in order to avoid diluting the votes, Gaomen Pictures will focus more on "Smell a Woman".

Of course, in order to stimulate the follow-up box office potential as much as possible, "Crying Game" will also not lack nominations.

Speaking of which, because there are so many excellent movies produced by itself, Daenerys Entertainment has been giving up in recent years.

Take this year as an example, Daenerys Entertainment's films produced in 1992, "Howard Manor", which participated in the Cannes Film Festival in May this year and was released in August, "The Crying Game", which was released in September, and "Smell the Woman", which opened on Thanksgiving, are all nominated for next year's Oscar for Best Picture in Simon's memory.

However, there is only one best picture.

In order to avoid the votes being apportioned, Daenerys Entertainment can only apply for nominations for one film, which will inevitably lead to other films being left out in the cold.

After the release of "Howard Manor" adapted by British home Foster, it stayed in North American theaters for a total of 9 weeks, and the total domestic box office reached $26.12 million.

For an art film with a production cost of only $6 million, this is already a very impressive achievement. If it is released by other studios, it will definitely be the focus of next year's awards season. However, under Daenerys Entertainment, even without "Smell a Woman", "Howard Manor" will fall behind "The Crying Game", which is expected to grossed more than $60 million in North America.

Many filmmakers in Hollywood are already aware of this.

For example, last year's "The Silence of the Lambs" director Jonathan Demmy.

Compared with the big victory of "The Silence of the Lambs" at the 64th Oscars in 1992 in the original time and space, this time and space, under the impact of Daenerys Entertainment's other two films "Piano Farewell" and "Crazy Flowers of the End", this phenomenal horror movie only won a few corner nominations.

Daenerys Entertainment has completely given up the 64th Oscars due to the long-term strategy of rushing for the awards.

Hollywood filmmakers tend to pay more attention to their own performance at the box office, but they don't ignore honor.

Because of the encounter of "The Silence of the Lambs", Jonathan Demmy's "Philadelphia Story" prepared this year did not continue to cooperate with Daenerys Entertainment in the end, but chose to be invested by MGM under Simon's personal lead.

"The Philadelphia Story", a film about the experience of defending the rights of an AIDS patient played by Tom Hanks, just looks at the genre, and those who are familiar with the rules of Hollywood can find that the film is obviously going for awards.

In the original timeline, Tom Hank won his first Oscar for Best Actor with "The Philadelphia Story", and the following year he became the first Oscar winner to win the Golden Man in a row with the phenomenal "Forrest Gump".

Not only that, but "The Philadelphia Story" also did a great job at the box office.

After Simon postponed the production plan of "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks, who was originally on a tight schedule, was able to rejoin "The Philadelphia Story", and the film will start shooting in January next year, and is expected to be released at the end of 1993, impacting the 1994 awards season.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Tom Hanks may create another miracle, Jonathan Demmi is also destined to miss the Oscar this time.

Because, at the end of 1993, there was Spielberg's "Schindler's List".

Simon chose to postpone "Forrest Gump", in addition to the overcrowded schedule at the end of 1993, but also took into account the factors of "Schindler's List".

It would be a shame if the two films, both of which are expected to reach the Oscars, meet.

Staggered by a year, Daenerys Entertainment can also rightfully be the biggest winner of the Oscars for two consecutive years.

With the status of the two films in Hollywood film history in the original timeline, who dares to say that "Schindler's List" is not eligible for the Oscars? Who can question the strength of "Forrest Gump"?

After the Victoria's Secret TV broadcast was completed, the Simons rushed to Melbourne the following weekend to attend the wedding of David Johnston and Leslie Whirkett on November 21, and planned to stay in Australia until after the New Year.

The top priority of Daenerys Entertainment's year-end schedule, "Home Alone 2" released on November 20 and "Jurassic Park" released on December 18, will also be operated by the company's team.

Melbourne, Australia.

The Johnston Mansion on the Yarra River in the northern suburbs of the city is getting more and more lively as David Johnston's wedding approaches.

Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston both moved in,

Simon and his wife originally wanted to live in their nearby villa, but because of the old man's compulsion, they had to move in together.

Veronica also took the little one to live in the mansion at the same time.

Finally, with the addition of David Johnston and Patrick Johnston, the whole family gathered.
