"Soul Shifting Girl" is a literary film in the pure sense, which is completely different from the healing film "A Beautiful Mind", which is dressed as a literary film and pursues mainstream values.

It is full of oppressive atmosphere and profound connotation, and if you are not a heavy movie lover, it is difficult to have the spirit to watch it.

Even with the Palme d'Or, it is difficult to attract widespread attention from fans.

So the film had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival as early as May, but the official release time in North America was in mid-August, and the global release will be after September.

is to avoid the hot summer, delay the schedule, and take advantage of the spring breeze of the awards season to attract some fans to buy tickets and enter.

Unexpectedly, this summer, Don's name is in full swing!

The cross-hype between the pros and cons has made Don En the master of the summer file, especially with the violent trend of "Spider-Man", which makes him seem to have a personal brand effect!

Produced by Tangen, it must be a high-quality product!

With the blessing of this powerful aura, the literary film "Soul Shifting Girl", of which Tang En served as the producer, has also achieved a lot of success at the box office.

Although it can't compete with the most mainstream commercial blockbusters, for some messy little shrimps, "Soul Shifting Girl" has the strength to crush everything.

The first-week box office was $15.8 million, second only to New Line Pictures' "Brain Cell Invasion".

Entering the second week of release, there will be three competitive new films released by Universal's "Cheerleader", Warner's "The Art of War" and Disney's "Fox and Dog Party".

The box office trends of "Cheerleader Sailor" and "The Art of War" have nothing to do with Donn.

He's only keeping an eye on one movie – Disney's Fox Dogs!

At this critical moment when Down Pictures and Disney are in a hurry, the weak Down Pictures must seize every opportunity to boost morale, start from little by little, accumulate little by little, and finally complete a big turnaround against Disney.

"Soul Shifting Girl" naturally bears a very difficult task, that is, to crush "Fox Dog Party" in the box office market!

"Fox Pack Dog Party" is a big bad movie, there is no doubt about it. Don't look at "Soul Shifting Girl" is a literary film, but according to the normal box office trend, winning the battle is not a problem at all.

What Don is most worried about is that at this critical moment when the two sides are fighting, will Disney make a black hand?

Disney's movies have been crushed by Donn Pictures for a summer.

Since June, Disney films have been living in the shadow of Down Pictures.

It didn't attract Michael Eisner's attention before, which is nothing, but now that Michael Eisner has made a move, he personally wrestled with Donn, and the fierceness and ruthlessness of the means must be extraordinary!

What if Michael Eisner "buys the box office" in theaters through relationships?

At this time, the two sides are fighting for a breath!

Michael Eisner can even do the "ban order", so what is impossible about "buying the box office"?

Don specifically consulted Michael Ovitz.

Michael Ovitz was in Manhattan, New York at this time, taking Don's $100 million investment to negotiate with Merrill Lynch, fooling Wall Street capital into investing in the operation of the project.

After hearing Donn's confusion, Michael Ovitz laughed, "Donn, that's Eisner, the big boss of Disney, you can't help but underestimate him!"

Tang En's eyebrows were slightly raised, a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with Xiaoxiao?"

Michael Ovitz said: "Donn, Eisner is the chairman of the board of directors of Disney, but that doesn't mean he's Disney! ”

Don's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart beat violently.

Michael Ovitz said slowly: "Some time ago, Tom Cruise bought the box office of "Mission Impossible 2" for $5 million, and the result was known to everyone and became a laughing stock. With such a lesson from the past, Michael Eisner would not have made such a choice even if his head was in water, don't ignore the power of the media!"

The reason why he dared to break the rules of the industry and issue a ban on Tangen Pictures was because he only promoted it in a small part and cleverly and reasonably avoided the media, which is equivalent to him obviously doing bad things, but he couldn't hold his handle. If he really dares to suppress his competitors by buying box office, then his personal image will be completely ruined. ”

"Tom Cruise is anxious now, and you should know it, because the bad impact of the 'box office' incident has affected the entire series of "Mission Impossible". Don't look at "Mission Impossible 2" is the only blockbuster in "Spider-Man" this year, but if this series wants to be restarted, it will need to wait at least another 5 years!"

Donn didn't listen carefully to Michael Ovitz's words, he was still thinking about the thought that had just skipped a beat.

Michael Eisner...... It's true that he is the chairman and CEO of Disney, but behind him there is also Disney's shareholders' meeting!

If Michael Eisner's image is damaged and Disney is implicated, then his almost emperor-like power at Disney will be stripped away by the shareholders' meeting!

A bold and extremely expectant thought suddenly popped up in Don's heart—

After the huge losses of the Vivendi Group, Don will definitely make a move and buy Universal Pictures, and there is not much problem in terms of funds.

With his current fame and influence, he can easily raise money from Wall Street and complete the acquisition. Even he doesn't need to raise a penny, just the funds in his hand are enough to buy Universal Pictures.

The conundrum in front of him is that Donn Pictures does not have enough influence to be qualified to buy Universal Pictures!

Now, Hollywood, and even the whole of North America, can see that the competition between Don Pictures and Disney has become open and white-hot.

If Done Pictures wins this competition, and Donn single-handedly succeeds in bringing down Michael Eisner and getting Disney's shareholder meeting to remove him from his position, who will dare to question Donn's ability?

What even the DreamWorks Big Three couldn't do, Don did it!

Once Don Pictures settles Disney, it will be a nuclear bomb explosion, and the radiation will spread throughout Hollywood, and the time will ...... Will Universal still have a reason to turn down the offer to buy Down Pictures?

I'm afraid that the executives and shareholders of Universal Pictures can't wait for Don to help Universal tide over the predicament, right?

Don took a deep breath, his eyes determined.

Prior to this, Bill McNick, West Cotton and others had successively given him ideas and proposed ways to let Down Pictures quickly increase its influence.

But Donn always felt that it was too slow, and even if he did, he didn't fully realize the recognition that I could get from the core of Hollywood.

However, the open competition with Disney is different, this is a consideration of comprehensive strength!

Michael Eisner, as a big man who has been in Hollywood for 20 years, is a legend of Hollywood.

If Donn can kill Michael Eisner in one shot, then he will not just be the role of a famous director, but a real big man!

Whether it is a director or an actor, they are all pawns on the chessboard of Hollywood.

If Donn can beat Michael Eisner, it's a transition from chess piece to chess player!

This is the portrayal of real power!

There was a light in Don's heart, and he seemed to have seen the way forward.

……

On Friday, August 25, Disney's crime comedy "Fox and Dog Party" was officially released, and the film opened in 1,510 theaters, accounting for 23.7% of the film scheduling, which was worse than "Beauty Cheerleader" and "The Art of War" released at the same time.

It can be seen that the theater side is very optimistic about this movie with a length of only 88 minutes.

On the first day of release, "Cheerleader Sailor" grossed $6.23 million, and "The Art of War" also grossed more than $4 million. "Fox Pack Dog Party" is only $1.03 million, behind "Space Cowboy", "Brain Cell Invasion", "King of Comedy", "Scream", "Soul Girl", "Ten Perfect Boys" and other old films, only ranked 9th on the list.

is only the first release day, this "Fox Dog Party", which cost $35 million in investment and $8 million in publicity, has already announced the end of losing money!

Seeing this result, Joe Ruth, the chairman of Disney's production department, touched the cold sweat on his forehead and exhaled with joy.

It's a good thing he didn't make any promises to Michael Eisner in the first place, otherwise it would have been really miserable.

It's just really weird, Donne...... Does he really have magical powers?

"Soul Shifting Girl", a literary film, can even get a lot of box office revenue?

Three days later, the week's box office results were released.

Universal's new film "Cheerleader Pretty Girl" earned $17.36 million at the box office, and it deservedly became the champion of the weekly box office list!

The runner-up was Warner's new film "The Art of War," which grossed $10.4 million.

In third place was "Soul Shifter", which grossed $9.4 million, and the total North American box office has exceeded $24 million, including the first week's box office of $15.8 million.

The goal of $50 million at the North American box office seems to be easy to achieve.

In comparison, Disney's movie "Fox and Dog Party" is a handful of snot and tears, and the box office in the first weekend was only a pitiful $4 million!

After films such as "Sixty Seconds of Speed", "Screaming Laughter" and "Girls Club" were crushed by the box office of Down Pictures, Disney's new film "Fox Dog Party" did not escape the same fate.

And it is even more miserable, if the first few movies were crushed by the commercial film giant "Spider-Man", and there is still a little thin face, then "Fox and Dog Party" was sanctioned by the box office of a literary film, which is a real slap in the face.

Disney's movies are really poignant, miserable, and related!
