Chapter 696 Shot
Approaching Christmas and New Year, the audience gave Hollywood a big gift, and in 2009, the total box office of North Mi movies exceeded 10 billion US dollars again!
As of last Sunday, the box office in North America this year is only 36 million US dollars away from the 10 billion mark, and on Monday, driven by the strong drive of "Avatar", the gap has narrowed by another 29 million, and the total box office in North America in 09 has officially exceeded the 10 billion mark on Tuesday night.
"We hope to have good box office numbers in the last 10 days of this year, the box office on Christmas Day last year was 76 million, this Christmas has "Sherlock Holmes", "Rat Noble 2", "It's Complicated" three new films released, and last week's "Avatar" sequel, we expect the final North American box office this year to reach 10.4 billion." ”
In the history of North Rice films, there has never been a year when the box office has reached such a height, with the previous record for the total annual box office being $10.05 billion in 2007 and $9.63 billion last year.
As of December 23, 2009, there were 27 films in North America with a box office of over 100 million, of which 6 films had a box office of more than 200 million, the highest box office was "Transformers 2", followed by "Harry Potter 6", the box office of the two was 460 million and 300 million US dollars respectively, the company, MM with "Transformers 2", "Iron Man 2", "2012", "Flying House Travel" 's excellent performance became the highest grossing company in North America in 09, earning a total of 2.3 billion US dollars, accounting for 22% of the total box office of Beimi Film Market, Warners has "Ha 6", ranking second, so there is a saying that Mark dominates Beimi.
Outside of North Rice, the box office is also hot. As of Sunday, the box office in North Miwai had reached $15 billion this year, up 5 percent from 14.3 billion in 2008.
Avatar, known as the most expensive 3D movie of all time, has been unabated for two weeks since its release, and continued to dominate the North North box office charts with $72 million in revenue this past Christmas weekend.
According to figures released by the North Mi box office statistics agency, "Avatar" grossed $73 million in the first week of its release, and the box office revenue in the second week fell by only 3%.
Normally, a film that was a huge box office success in its first week would generally drop by 30 to 50 percent in its second week, but his decline was so low that it was negligible.
So far, the total box office revenue of the film in the United States has reached 212 million US dollars, and it is expected that the total box office revenue worldwide may exceed 1 billion US dollars.
"Avatar" was followed by British director Guy Ritchie's new film "Sherlock Holmes", which grossed $65.4 million at the weekend box office, and the film earned $24.9 million on the day of its Christmas release, breaking the North North Christmas box office record. MGM Pictures, which distributed the film, called the result exciting and did not rule out the possibility of a sequel.
This is the project introduced by Robert Downey Jr.'s wife, MGM Vice President Susan Downey, and the box office harvester Downey proved that even if he leaves "Iron Man", he can also have fun, he said on social networking sites: "Finally have the money to buy a big house and be a neighbor with Mark." ”
The live-action animated film "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Star Club" ranked third at the box office with $50.2 million, and the total revenue of the film has reached $77.1 million in the five days since its release. Industry insiders predict that the film is likely to surpass "Alvin and the Chipmunk," which was released in 2007, when it grossed $217 million.
At the top of the list is the romantic comedy "Love is Complicated" starring famous Hollywood stars Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, which grossed $22.1 million.
It is understood that 72% of the movie's audience is female. In addition, two films that industry insiders predicted to be popular with the Oscars, George Clooney's "Unresolved" and the star-studded musical "Nine", have also begun to be widely released throughout North China, and both of them have made it into the top 10 box office charts.
Notably, this year's Christmas weekend grossed $278 million, breaking the previous record of $253 million set for Christmas weekend in 2007. Although there are still a few days to go before the end of 2009, the box office revenue of the United States this year has exceeded 10.4 billion US dollars, setting another historical record.
Analysts believe that due to the impact of the financial crisis, people are more willing to put entertainment activities in movie theaters with less cost, which objectively leads to an increase in movie audiences. But there's no denying that there's no shortage of great films coming out this Christmas, with sci-fi, comedy, action, family-themed films and serious competition for awards coming together to give audiences a feast of cinematic treats.
The box office sales of the movie are just a publicity window, and the big sales around the movie are the main profit points.
This "Avatar" is a twentieth century Fox movie, MM can not get into the copyright and DVD, but it can get a share of the box office share, the movie is a big hit, the huge flow of people will bring various business opportunities to the theater, all kinds of snacks, snacks and peripheral products are sold out, which allows MM to take a share of the fat of the economic benefits driven by "Avatar".
As the strongest entertainment media group in the North Mi entertainment industry, MM is involved in the operation and investment of almost all kinds of entertainment projects, but it is mainly in film and television production and distribution and its surrounding industries, and the investment is concentrated in the Internet technology industry, and he rarely invests in industries such as music and sports.
News Corp., Time Warner, etc., all have their own music divisions, News Corp. owns 20% of the Los Angeles Lakers, while Time Warner owns the Atlanta Hawks in Major League Baseball, and MM does not have its own team, or invests in sports.
Brother and sister Iger and Ellison wanted to buy a bigger team, but it fell through because they didn't have experience in this area, and Mark wanted to buy the E-League, but the others objected.
MM has strong financial strength, and several major investments are also profitable, which makes them have to find new profit growth points and investment projects, and the money will only depreciate if it remains in their hands.
After a week off and spending Christmas and New Year with his family, Mark began to get back to work.
He is confirming that both MM and Warner are in normal condition, and he will start directing The Avengers.
This is what he has promised Marvel and MM a long time ago, and he will create a fist product for Marvel, as the core of Marvel's foothold in Hollywood.
In this way, only he dares to say it, and other directors will snicker if they don't pounce.
Before that, he made an appointment with Jerry in advance, and he wanted to make sure that Jerry jumped into the pit.
After half a month of careful consideration, Jerry finally decided to accept Mark's suggestion, decided to change from turbidity to clearing, and resigned from the position of secretary of homeland security.
His temples are white, not to show the elegance of his European aristocracy, but to be sad.
Mark immediately asked people to arrange for him to participate in the Pennsylvania Senate election, which Mark had already made people feel good, and all aspects recognized it, even the White House believed that letting him go to the Senate was far less threatening than his position in the Department of Homeland Security, and they also knew that he would not move the pit if he did not find a place to settle down, and in this way, with the recognition and cooperation of all parties, this guy was successfully nominated by the governor of Pennsylvania as a state senator, and he was successfully passed by the Congress.
When Jerry was the secretary of homeland security, Mark didn't dare to touch him, but after stepping down as the powerful minister, he was not so feared.
Jerry is a sinister and cunning person, but his son Donald is indeed a good person, and his ability is also very strong, he serves as the CEO of Facebook, and he runs Facebook very well.
But my space is only a subsidiary of News Corp., and the group's headquarters doesn't take it very seriously, and Donald, the president of Facebook, is one of the bosses of MM Group, and Mark ordered that all major artists under MM must register Facebook accounts and use it to promote and interact with fans.
Superstars such as David Lee, Downey, and Heath all use Facebook and endorse him, and any announcements from superstars such as Mark, David Lee, and Downey are all made through Facebook first, and all institutions and companies of MM have also registered Facebook accounts.
This huge star effect has made Facebook the hottest and most fashionable mainstream user, and the number of users quickly surpassed its rivals and expanded its lead, and my space was far behind.
In 2010, a number of Wall Street companies persuaded Facebook to IPO, but Donald rejected them.
"We show up when Wall Street needs us, pleads with us," Donald claimed. ”
Donald has seen the value and potential of Facebook, and it is entirely possible that he will become another Microsoft or Google, and he will build another media empire with it, and Donald, who is only 25 years old, has become a rising star in the Internet technology industry.
Silicon Valley said he would be the next Bill Gaitz, which is a boast of costs, but it also shows that the industry is optimistic about him.
Mark also discovers that Jerry and Donald are father and son, but their correspondence and interaction are not close, except for some necessary ceremonial interactions, there is no intimate connection.
Jerry didn't remarry, but he had several lovers and had children, and Donald wasn't stupid enough to contact these people, he just knew that the other party existed, and there was no connection, and Mark interacted more with Jerry.
Donald understands that David, Sophia, Mark, Kayla, Giselle, etc. are his relatives, and they are the ones to rely on and interact with.
It was also because of this that Mark was sure that Donald had no intention of harming him, and he would focus on Jerry.
