There is no doubt that the third weekend of June is the most competitive schedule in recent years!

"Spider-Man", "Sixty Seconds", ".", "Chicken Run", ...... Four blockbusters were released at the same time, which is definitely the hottest film market in this winter of economic crisis!

"Sixty Seconds of Extreme Speed", which was released first, met the audience on June 21, with 3,089 theaters and a film scheduling rate of 55%.

But under such superior conditions that the other three blockbusters were not released, "Sixty Seconds of Extreme Speed" only won $3.12 million at the box office that day, which is a big surprise!

Because of the impact of the recent public opinion crisis, Disney and related evaluation agencies have significantly lowered the expected box office of "Sixty Seconds".

But the box office on the first day was only $3.12 million, which was enough to shock industry insiders!

Everyone seems to have seen the birth of a tragedy!

Oh no, maybe it's going to be two - "Sixty Seconds" and ".".

"Chicken Run" is an animated film, and there is not much competition with "Spider-Man" in cleaning up the crowd.

On June 22nd, "Spider-Man" officially attacked under the momentum of boom!

Prior to this, the pre-sale movie tickets of "Spider-Man" had reached 23.94 million, and the pre-sale box office was ...... $129 million!

You know, the previous advance box office record was Donn's "Star Wars Episode 1", which was only $57 million. Just one year later, this record was broken by Don again, more than tripling!

Donn's version of "Spider-Man" has a total of 128 minutes and is PG-13 rated. On the day of the premiere, there will be two simultaneous screenings in 3,239 theaters across the United States, from 7:00 to 9:10 and from 9:30 to 11:40.

The premiere will be held at the Vista Theater, the oldest theater in Los Angeles.

Although the advance box office is aimed at the whole weekend, on the day of the premiere, it is conservatively estimated that the box office will be at least 10 times that of "Sixty Seconds"!

For Donn, the premiere was just a formality, and the reason why he did it with great fanfare was to take care of the emotions of those avid fans.

Who doesn't want their idol to have strong connections and transcendent status in Hollywood?

The celebrity guests who appeared at the premiere are the biggest longing for idols.

Because, Don launched his network, and the premiere guests of the night were full of big names!

Famous directors include Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Luc Besson, Jonathan Demmy, Sam Mendes, Peter Jackson, John Wu......

Some directors can't come back because they are filming in other places. But such a list of directors is like the Oscar red carpet, which is dizzying.

As for the list of actors, it made the fans of the whole show scream and carnival!

Mel gibson!

Tom hanks!

Jim Carrey!

Throughout the 90s, 3 of Hollywood's 5 hottest superstars came!

Especially Tom Hanks, his face is obviously a little frosty, I heard that in order to participate in the premiere of "Spider-Man", he just rushed back from Europe 2 hours ago.

Subsequently, there were Leonardo Ricaprio, Keanu Reeves, Jack Chen, Kevin Spacey, Pierce Brosnan, Ed Harris, ......

Next, the female stars present are also competing for beauty, and big names gather.

Australian goddess Nicole Kidman!

French goddess Sophie Marceau!

South African diamond Charlize Theron!

British actress Kate Winslet!

Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer forever!

……

After a star-studded visual feast, several Victoria's Secret supermodels from New York, with their arrogant figures, long legs and beautiful appearance, ignited the enthusiasm of the entire red carpet and went completely crazy.

Don didn't attend the final appearance ceremony with the crew, not because he didn't want to, but because the security team asked for it.

Don is now too wealthy, and he's always in the midst of controversy, in constant danger of being shot. Although there was a period of media whitewashing, it is an indisputable fact that Donn ransacked the NASDAQ and made it to the Forbes rich list.

Ordinary people don't care about this process, but those investors who lost their money on the NASDAQ are already a group of outlaws, and they dare to commit suicide, let alone kill people?

They are Donn's biggest threat!

Don increased the number of his bodyguards and set up a security team at Don Pictures, mainly responsible for his personal safety and the safety of several female companions.

This kind of red carpet show that is too public should be attended as little as possible.

Even the president can be shot in the street, let alone him?

"Hey, Donne!"

Holding Natalie's hand, Don had just walked into the VIP area of the theater when he saw a beautiful woman twisting her bewitching waist and hips and walking over with a smile.

Natalie frowned slightly, and whispered beside Donn, "Her name is Charlize Theron." ”

Of course Donn knew her, and he stretched out his hand enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Miss Theron, it's a pleasure for you to attend the premiere of "Spider-Man". ”

"Don, you're too polite, just call me Charlie. Charlize Theron glanced at Natalie, as if she hadn't seen her, hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "I see that there are several models from New York in the guest list?"

Don smiled, "yes, I have a few modeling friends. ”

Charlize Theron laughed in her heart, friend, the gossip newspapers came out a few days ago, and you got involved with two Brazilian supermodels.

Reputedly...... When they returned to New York, they moved into a luxury townhouse in Manhattan's CBD.

With the income of two new models, they can buy a luxury villa in the center of Manhattan, where every inch of land is at a premium? It is said that the villa is worth at least $25 million! And the mansion in that location is not something that can be bought with money.

The internal causes of this can be understood when you think about it.

Charlize Theron remained silent, smiling rather than smiling, his eyes glanced at Donn, meaningful, "I used to ...... I've also worked as a model. ”

Tang En looked her delicate figure up and down, and nodded approvingly, "I can see that you have a great figure." ”

With Natalie's intelligence, she could naturally hear what the other party meant, took Donn's hand, and said casually: "Director Spielberg is over there, let's go over and visit." I'm sorry, Miss Theron, but we're busy right now. ”

Charlize Theron's face stiffened, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "It should be." ”

With a roll of his eyes, he quickly opened Kun's bag, took out a business card, and regardless of Natalie's eyes, he directly stuffed it into Don's jacket pocket, with a playful blink of his left eye, and made a gesture of making a phone call with his right hand.

Holding Donn's arm, Natalie whispered, "It's time for you to restrain yourself, at least to be concerned about the impact." The Bichi people dare to seduce you in front of me, it's too much. ”

Don chuckled, "Don't worry, when I move to the manor on the top of the hill on the south slope, I will be able to avoid the paparazzi's sight." ”

Natalie pouted, "You'll have to take care of it yourself anyway, don't affect me! I don't want to go to school and be laughed at by my classmates." ”

Tang En groaned slightly and nodded solemnly, "I know, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

At this time, Steven Spielberg was smiling and chatting with a yellow-skinned Asian director - John Wu.

Since coming to Hollywood, John Wu has struggled all the way and had a smooth ride, especially after "Broken Arrow" won the final editing rights and became famous.

With the big hit of "Changing Face", John Wu seems to have the momentum of a Hollywood first-line director, and "Mission Impossible 2", which was released a month ago, has set off a frenzy of movie-watching.

So far, "Mission Impossible 2" has achieved a box office of $190 million in North America, and it is estimated that it will be able to break the $200 million mark within this month.

What is the concept of $200 million at the North American box office?

In 1996, only two films exceeded 200 million at the North American box office, in 1997 and 1998, only 3 films reached this goal, and in 1999, there were only 4 films.

"Mission Impossible 2" has been released for more than a month, and it can have such a harvest, which is definitely a guarantee of a big hit!

Although there are still many countries around the world that will not release "Mission Impossible 2" until July, Paramount and many evaluation agencies have concluded that this movie will make a lot of money!

And film director John Wu has undoubtedly become a hot figure in the whole of Hollywood.

It is said that several film companies have sent him invitations to seek cooperation.

But......

Directors who have pursuits have ambitions.

After filming "Changing Face", John Wu intended to make a literary film, produced by Clint Eastwood, and the two sides had reached an agreement, but the film company did not agree.

John Wu...... It's better to make a blockbuster!

Later, with Donn's recommendation, John Wu accepted the invitation of "Mission Impossible 2" and invested a full $125 million.

Now, "Mission Impossible 2" is a big hit, and a large number of film companies have invited him, but after John Wu arrived in Hollywood, he has made 4 action movies in a row, and he really wants to make a movie of other styles.

Now John Wu already has the capital to refuse.

At this time, Spielberg chatted with John Wu in such a friendly manner, and he must have intentionally invited John Wu to shoot an action movie by DreamWorks.

Donn walked over, and sure enough, he heard Spielberg's earnest voice, inviting John Wu to make a film called "Confrontation Storm".

"John, at present, the script outline of this project is already available, if you are willing to be the director, you can be the main director, hire a screenwriter, and write the script. Of course, just like in the past, you have the final editing rights. ”

Listening to Spielberg's voice, Don smiled dumbly, running a film company, sometimes, you really need to put down your body.

It's hard to imagine that Spielberg, who has a straight waist in the face of Universal Pictures, will be cautious in front of John Wu.

And John Wu also refused crisply, "I'm sorry, Steven, I'm going to take a break, or...... Challenging a new genre, action movies, a little tired. ”

At this time, his eyes lit up, he saw Don En, and shook hands with him, "Take the lead in wishing your movie a big box office hit!"

Tang En glanced at John Wu deeply, "John, you want to challenge a new subject, as a director, I can understand very well. But...... IMHO, I don't think it's a good idea......"
