"Unsinkable" earned $62.67 million in its fourth week, and the North American box office did not break the $300 million mark smoothly, stopping at $276 million.

Mainly because this weekend, Paramount's commercial blockbuster "Tomb Raider" was released.

The film grossed $47.86 million over the three days of the weekend, second only to "Unsinkable" and second on the weekly box office list.

According to this momentum, by the next week, "Tomb Raider" is likely to surpass "Unsinkable" in weekly box office revenue.

Angelina Jolie's performance in "Tomb Raider" is so sexy, so enchanting, and so attractive!

Charlize Theron's performance in "Unsinkable" is outstanding, but it completely hides the feminine features of her body, showing acting skills and feelings.

A new generation of sexy goddesses like Angelina Jolie has quickly become popular in the market!

Even...... Some people have already named her the second "Marilyn Monroe".

The box office of "Unsinkable" did not exceed $300 million as expected, which made many industry insiders shake their heads again and again.

Everyone originally thought that this movie would likely make James Cameron the second director to exceed $1 billion at the global box office of a single film after Donne.

But now it seems that it is difficult!

"Unsinkable" has already begun to be released overseas, and the box office reached more than $86 million in the first week, which is a very good number. But compared to the ambitious goal of $1 billion, this is a big gap.

Even "Pearl Harbor" has exceeded $60 million at the overseas box office.

The lag and difference in the overseas market made Disney not play the banner of the second "Titanic" like it did with the North American market, and now it seems that it has received good results.

"Unsinkable" is a typical American heroism movie, which plays a real person and a real event that takes place in the United States, which is a big difficulty for overseas markets.

Even with Mel Gibson in charge and the promotion of universal values, it will be difficult for "Unsinkable" to reach the overseas box office revenue of "Star Wars Prequel 1" and "Spider-Man".

There is little hope at the overseas box office, and the North American box office is lower than expected, and although "Unsinkable" beat its rival "Pearl Harbor" all over the ground after its fourth week of release, it is impossible to get $1 billion at the box office.

Moreover, there will be another round of new films next week.

The most powerful are three films - Done Films' "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Disney's "Atlantis: The Lost Empire", and Twentieth Century Fox's "Doctor Doolittle 2".

……

For Nicolas Cage's performance, Donn was satisfied.

He sent a vintage collector's edition convertible Rolls-Royce, said to be worth more than $1.5 million!

This kind of convertible, Don could not ride.

His usual cars are a total of five, namely Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Cadillac, Lincoln and Audi, each of which is specially customized bulletproof.

More than 30 top-of-the-line luxury cars of various brands are parked in the garage of Mid-Levels Manor, mainly for the transportation of female companions, and some are also given to them as gifts.

Of course, Don doesn't care about the value of this third-generation Les-Royce Silver Cloud, but the attitude shown by Nicolas Cage.

Enough sincerity!

In this way, after the filming of "Minority Report", Donn can prepare to start the series of projects "National Treasure", and the protagonist is Nicolas Cage!

Anyway, Jerry Bruckheimer's "Pirate Series" has been snatched, and then the "Treasure Series" has been snatched, so that the Hollywood gold medal producer will completely stop cooking!

As for the box office trend of "Unsinkable", Don is not concerned.

With the preparation, project establishment, shooting, and release of a series of commercial blockbusters, Tangen Pictures' films will be like cutting leeks, round after round of bloodbathing at the box office.

As for art films, at the behest of Donn, Katherine Kennedy united Focus Pictures and Rose Pictures to launch two films at the same time.

One is a feature film with an investment of $30 million, bringing together three top actresses, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julian Moore, and is preparing the film adaptation of the same name "Moment by Moment", which is expected to start filming in August.

One is the $45 million song and dance film "Chicago", and the current director has been determined, Rob Marshall, who is proficient in dance design and has served as Sam Mendes' assistant. Don himself served as the producer, but the lead actor has not yet been decided.

In the past few years, Don has had new movies shot every year, but this year, Don Pictures' business is too busy, and he has no skills. Only part of the time will be spared, and the focus will be on the production of the film "Chicago".

Of course, Donn can't put his energy into "Chicago" right now, he wants to make sure that the STA network is worry-free!

Now "Six Feet Under" has been screened on Starz TV, and the ratings have climbed one after another, and this weekend, the premiere viewers exceeded 800,000!

It doesn't seem like much, but it's a lot!

Because playing TV series and movies, it's not the same.

There is a strict limit on the number of times the movie can be played, so when "Spider-Man" and "Saw Horror" were broadcast, the viewers exceeded 10 million, which was very relaxing.

The copyright of TV dramas is usually a buyout agreement or a tenure agreement, which can be replayed for multiple rounds, so many viewers will not wait for a fixed time to wait in front of the TV.

Even when HBO has more than 45 million members, the average viewership of the premiere of the fantasy drama "Game of Thrones" is about 5 million, and "Westworld" is less than 3 million.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that in that era, there were too many prime-time hit dramas on weekend nights.

Now it's different, "Six Feet Under" is almost the only hit drama in the entire United States during this time period!

Starz TV, which has less than 3.3 million members, premiered the second episode of "Six Feet Under", and more than 800,000 paying family subscribers watched it in front of the TV, which is definitely a surprise!

With the popularity of "Six Feet Below", there are more and more subscribers to the STA TV network, although the growth is not fast, but the upward curve has a good momentum.

Of course, misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.

With such good momentum on the STA television network, Don had to be cautious about Viacom's attitude.

"It's time for a bribe!"

Since Donn entered Hollywood, he has rarely pleased others, even in the face of Disney's big boss Michael Eisner, he has done it hard!

But in the face of Viacom's old man, Somer Leishidon, Don must bow his head and pretend to be his grandson.

"Michael, what's the plan for the platter investment?"

Don called Michael Ovitz, the head of Legendary Pictures.

Legendary Pictures has secured $500 million in funding from Wall Street and can once again call for wind and rain in Hollywood.

Michael Ovitz said: "We're in talks with Warners and we're planning to do a second round of collaboration. ”

Don knows about this.

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. had a platter investment cooperation, when Legendary Pictures' shares were about 15%-18%, and now for the second cooperation, Legendary Pictures will increase the proportion of platter investment projects to 30%.

There is no way, at present, in addition to Towne Pictures, the film company with the highest profit return is Warner Bros. If nothing else is taken into account, Michael Ovitz would definitely prefer Warners.

"On my side, I need help. ”

"Oh, you say?"

Don wasn't polite, and blurted out, "Paramount!"

"Paramount?" Michael Ovitz frowned, "this company...... Hands and feet are not clean. ”

Since Paramount was acquired by Viacom, upstream funding has almost been cut off, and in order for the company to survive, it can only kill investors from all walks of life.

It is a well-known black hole in the industry, only in and out!

Tang En said: "I know, so everything must be reflected in the contract, and every project invested in by Legendary Pictures must send someone to supervise it to prevent Paramount from doing the accounting." ”

"This is important to you?"

"It's important!"

Donn's reply was resounding.

Michael Ovitz pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in acquiescence, "Yes, how do I cooperate here, you just say it." ”

Tang En smiled, "Wait for my news, I'll go to meet Lei Shidong first!"

"Lei Shidong?"

Michael Ovitz was stunned.

This Don, the network circle is really getting taller and bigger!

It's simply jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements.

Hollywood circles are running out of him!

He thought that Tang En had insider trading with Paramount's chairman, Shirley Lansing, but he didn't expect that he was looking for the big boss of Paramount's parent company, Viacom's Lei Shidong!()
