Even if you are mentally prepared, when the box office data for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" began to be announced, it still left many people feeling jaw-dropping.

On December 22, the first day of the large-scale opening, counting the midnight show, he earned $35.27 million.

On Saturday, December 23, $37.69 million was earned.

On Sunday, December 24, because of Christmas Eve, the box office shrank significantly, still reaching $23.91 million in a single day.

In the three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office reached $96.87 million.

Almost 100 million!

On December 25, Christmas, although it was a Monday, because of the statutory holiday, the box office rebounded sharply again, earning $31.78 million in a single day.

On Tuesday, December 26, he returned to the working day and received $16.69 million.

On Wednesday, December 27, $16.31 million was received.

On Thursday, December 28, $15.51 million was received.

According to final statistics, from December 22 to December 28, the first week of release, the cumulative box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" reached $177.16 million.

The first week of $177.16 million increased the first-week box office record of $129.13 million just set by this summer's "Jurassic Park 2" by nearly $50 million.

The average was 3,443 screens, and the average in the first week was $51,400.

Among them, the much-watched IMAX theaters, with a total of 26 screens, also contributed $5.73 million to the box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in the first seven days, which seems to be a small amount compared to the total box office of $177 million in the first week of the film, however, the average IMAX screen is as high as $220,000.

For a week, a total of 26 IMAX theaters across North America were completely full.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that if the number of IMAX screens of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" increases to an objective number, even if it is 100, just this part of the theater is expected to achieve $20 million for a movie in a single week. Many blockbuster films may not necessarily reach $20 million at the box office in the first week.

Even Daenerys and Time Warner didn't expect the box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" to be so high in the first week, and before that, the best prediction given by the publicity and distribution teams of the two companies was probably only about $150 million in the first week.

As long as this number can be reached, the total North American box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is very promising to hit the $500 million mark.

Now, with $177 million in the first week, it's hard to imagine where the total North American box office of this DC Cinematic Universe super blockbuster will eventually go, perhaps, 600 million locally is not impossible. Moreover, it is just a phased assembly of the DC superhero universe, and the box office can be so high, and what kind of grand will the future "Justice League" be?

Hit hard by "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", the rest of the films of Christmas Week can be described as mournful.

The 3D animated film "Beauty and the Beast", which has been at the weekly box office since its release on Thanksgiving Day, plummeted by 46% in the sixth week of its release, creating the largest weekly decline since its opening, and the single-week box office also halved from $21.15 million last week to $11.43 million.

In its six weeks of release, Beauty and the Beast grossed $211.97 million.

Considering that "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" exceeded expectations at the weekly box office and is likely to remain strong subsequently, it is likely that "Beauty and the Beast" will not even reach the $250 million expected by Daenerys Entertainment if the weekly box office of "Beauty and the Beast" is almost halved.

This is already the case with "Beauty and the Beast" in second place, and "Stay Until You Wake Up" directed by Forest Whitaker, which ranked third on the list, also fell by 43% at the box office the following week, earning $10.81 million.

This black-themed drama film originally had obvious dark horse potential, but unfortunately it was unlucky. With a production cost of $15 million, it was released for two weeks and grossed $29.77 million at the box office. Whether it can rush to the $50 million mark is still a lot of suspense.

After that, films such as "The New Dragon and Phoenix" starring Harrison Ford and "Vampire Crazy" starring Leslie Nelson are completely not worth mentioning.

December 29th.

A new box office week begins.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that all kinds of publicity and distribution investments have been smashed, many films would have the urge to temporarily withdraw their files.

However, a total of 9 films still started on time on December 29, of which 4 are commercial films with a scale of more than 1,000 yuan, and 5 are small-scale films in the awards season.

First up is Oliver Stone's new film "Nixon," a $44 million Disney-produced biopic that is clearly intended to open this year's awards season with 1,310 screens in an attempt to pursue a long-term distribution strategy.

After "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", Warner Bros. Pictures also released the independent comedy film "Fighting Old Naughty Boy 2" this week, which is a sequel starring Jack Lemmon, Sophia Loren and other old Hollywood movie stars, the first part of which was released two years ago, made more than $70 million at the box office, and the film opened on 1,995 screens.

After the blockbuster "Street Fighter" at the end of last year, MGM teamed up with Shange Winton again to launch another B-grade action film, "Sudden Death", with 1,681 screens.

The last commercial film to be released on a large scale was Fox's adaptation of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom", which opened 1,609 screens.

In addition to the four films with more than 1,000 screens, there are five other small-scale films.

Among them, Daenerys Entertainment accounted for two.

The first is Kathryn Bigelow's new film "Detroit," a middling film about the 1967 Detroit riots, which was completed last year and cost $30 million. Because of their personal relationship, Simon has been involved since the script stage, and has personally watched until the post-editing is completed, and put the film at the end of this year, trying to get some nominations for Catherine.

However, although the finished film of the film is good, it is undeniable that the subject matter of this movie is really not very pleasing. Every country has its own past that it doesn't like to be revealed, let alone the very sensitive black riots.

In any case, the film was released smoothly.

As a small-scale on-demand film, the number of screens is 63.

Another true story change "Death Row Walk" was completed by the tentative studio team that produced "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Romeo Stained Blood", Simon took over the film company two years ago, and the team has already produced three films, including "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Romeo Stained Blood" directed by Quentin have achieved very good box office, this "Death Row Walk" directed by Tim Robbins, starring Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon, has 27 screens.

In Simon's memory, "Death Row Prisoner Walk" can be described as a double success at the box office and awards, and Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon also won her first Oscar for Best Actress for this film.

In addition to Daenerys Entertainment's two award-winning films, there are three other film films that are "Georgia", "Troubled Times" and "Richard III", except for "Troubled Times" directed by Sundance Michael Hoffman, the other two are not worth mentioning.

In the week across New Year's Day, nine new films ushered in, but they did not stop the destruction of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".

Under the attention of a large number of media and fans, on December 29, the first day of the following week, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" still earned as much as $26.86 million, a decrease of only 24% compared with the same period last week.

Then, three days after the following weekend, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" continued to earn $71.33 million, a year-on-year decline of only 26%.

New Monday, which is also January 1, 1991, New Year's Day.

A legal holiday in North America, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" once again recognises $23.17 million at the box office.

It wasn't until January 2, the working day of the new year, that the box office data of this DC Cinematic Universe super blockbuster began to drop significantly, but from January 2 to January 4, the revenue still reached $31.39 million in three days.

In the end, after the super high of $177 million in the first week, the box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" still reached a staggering $128.89 million in the second week.

In the second week of its release, unlike many media outlets' predictions of halved or even deeper drops in the second week after the super high box office in the first week, the actual box office decline in the second week of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was only 27%.

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of this DC Cinematic Universe super blockbuster also reached $300.6 million.

The cumulative box office exceeded 300 million in the first two weeks, which is unprecedented.

Since the opening has created such a box office miracle, more and more people believe that "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be very promising to directly increase the domestic box office volume of Hollywood movies from $400 million to $600 million at one time.

Not only that, but the box office performance of this superhero blockbuster assembled by the DC Big Three in overseas markets is also overwhelming.

In the case of a total of 31 countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, etc., which started simultaneously with North America, in two weeks, the overseas box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" also quickly broke through the $200 million mark.

"Jurassic Park 2", which was released in the summer of this year, has a cumulative global box office of $1.159 billion so far, including $413 million in North America and $746 million in overseas box office.

There is no doubt that the global box office cumulative of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will only be higher than that of "Jurassic Park 2".

1996 year.

Before you know it, the new year is coming in the carnival of fans around the world for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".

Australia.

Inside the territory of the Westeros family in the north-west of Tasmania.

It was Saturday, January 6, 1996.

After Christmas, Simon's family flew from Los Angeles to Melbourne to spend the New Year with the Johnston family, and two days before quietly arriving in Tasmania, where the Westeros family's private estate has been expanding.

Over the years, more than one-third of the land on this large island in southeastern Australia has been bought by Simon, and the total area of private territory has reached 23,000 square kilometers, equivalent to more than 5 million acres. In order to keep these private estates going, the Westeros family also invested heavily in the closure of many of the mining farms and lumber mills, mainly located between the grasslands, hills and mountains of western Tasmania, and gave high subsidies to relocate the entire population of the estate.

Because of Simon's continued private buying behavior, there are even various rumors and even conspiracy theories around Tasmania.

This makes this large island in the south of the globe an increasingly popular destination for travelers from all over the world.

Moreover, many people still want to break into the private territory of the Westeros family, which has caused a lot of crises, and in many cases, the Westeros family has to use the maintenance team here to search and rescue.

For Tasmania, Simon's original idea was to own a large, large private territory away from the world.

In addition to this, there are some layouts for the future.

Simon has always been a pessimist, and the higher he stands, the more pessimistic Simon is about the future of humanity. So, if a future is inevitable, Simon wants his family to have a place to escape. Tasmania is undoubtedly the most appropriate for this. This large island is not only located in the far south of the earth, but also has the entire Australian continent as a barrier.

In the event of world turmoil, this is undoubtedly the least vulnerable area.

In an estate on the border between forest and pasture.

Simon and Janet sat under the wide veranda to the north of the manor's country-style villa, enjoying the sunset on a summer evening in the southern hemisphere, while personally caring for Greenwich and Snow's two youngest children, while watching Jennifer and the other three little ones play in the wide grass around them.

Putting Little Snow back in the baby bassinet who had just woken up crying and fell asleep in his arms, Janet returned to Simon's side, looked at the thick pile of materials that the man was flipping through in his hand, and continued the topic just now: "If you enter the medical industry in the next step, it will definitely not be too easy." The healthcare industry is heavily regulated by the government, and the landscape in this area seems to have been established for a long time, and it is unlikely that there will be too large-scale changes. If we get in, there's a good chance we'll be attacked. ”

After the announcement some time ago, Westeros has completed the first reduction of Daenerys Entertainment shares, and similar operations will be carried out in the future.

Tens of billions of dollars in cash that are expected to be recovered will definitely need to be reinvested.

Entering the medical industry is a general direction that Simon is considering during this time.

Other countries aside, what is the most lucrative industry in the United States?

Many people immediately think of the military industry, or finance.

Actually, it should be medical.

The high cost of medical care in the United States is world-famous, and it is not generally high, but a deformed high, it costs eight thousand to see a cold, this line in Simon's memory seems to be a joke, but in the United States, it is true, and it is not the fee of those aristocratic clinics, that is, the cost of many ordinary people to see a cold.

At its peak, the United States spent 20% of its GPD on health care, and compared to less than 5% of GDP on defense, the benefits are huge.

If the Westeros system wants to continue to expand, and it is a big expansion, the next step, entering the medical industry, is almost inevitable.
