On Christmas Eve this year, Mark and his family only had a small party at home, and they will attend the big MM Night Gala at the Williams Center, hosted by Mark's friend, the well-known comedian Allen, who will host next year's 79th Oscars.

This time the party was mainly organized by Iger, mainly to show the muscles of the peers and show the company's unity, the company's four giants will participate in the company's celebrities, all of them attended, this is the largest public event that MM has held since its establishment, so Mark Iger They also invited many celebrities and dignitaries to participate.

With the participation of a large number of celebrities, this Christmas Eve MM night became the largest public party after the Golden Globe Awards dinner and Oscar night.

How much Mark wants to have a romantic and warm Christmas with his son and wife, but the company has such a large public gathering, as one of the company's giants, can he, not attend? Even Giselle has to attend, they have an appointment with Iger, he will be at the party for two hours, and then return to his office to spend Christmas Eve with his son Martin to welcome Christmas.

He spends as much time in the office as he does at home, they often live here, when it's part of the family, and after attending company meetings, they spend Christmas Eve in the office apartment, and then drive home tomorrow after Christmas.

This weekend's box office winner was "Night at the Museum," which swept the opening box office of about $30.8 million in 3,680 theaters with an average of more than $8,300 per theater.

As the countless strings of family and friends, family reunions and parties on Christmas Eve will fill the usual crowded theaters, the December 24 plunge has become a prominent feature of the Christmas week sales curve, taking this week's winner "Night at the Museum" as an example: about 12.4 million on Friday, nearly 12.8 million on Saturday, and 5.6 million on Sunday can be called bungee diving.

In this way, the total revenue of the Top 12 this weekend is 111 million US dollars, which is still prosperous, and after encountering the "cold year" that must be experienced on Christmas Eve, the market will still remain in the same state as last week, which is not easy, compared with the overall decline of 17.8% on the Christmas weekend when "King Kong" won the championship in the same period last year, "Night at the Museum" can be said to have saved the market, and in addition, this week is the thirtieth time that the total box office of the Top 12 in 2006 has exceeded the $100 million mark.

Last week's champion - "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which fully demonstrates Will Smith's terrifying box office appeal, added eleven halls this week, and the number of theaters increased to 2,863, with nearly 15 million excellent numbers retreating to the top position, down 43.5%, the average single income is still as high as about 5,200 yuan, and the cumulative harvest is more than 5,300 yuan, combined with the impact of the aforementioned "Christmas Eve cold snap" and this "biographical drama" At present, the final box office will break through the $100 million level at least 80%.

Although the film was released last Wednesday, it still earned about 12.5 million yuan in 3,017 theaters on the weekend, and the average value of about 41 million is not awe-inspiring, but it still needs to be impressive, and the group that is looking forward to the "box office poison" Stallone making a foreign appearance again can hardly hide their disappointment.

In contrast, "The Successor", which also belongs to the "Sports Inspirational Department", failed miserably for only 6.6 million yuan in 2,600 theaters, and there are two handsome strong men named Matthew, who are still no match for the "dying" old cow Stallone, Warner Bros.'s distribution strategy is simply terrible - "The Successor", which is full of "spring and autumn box office champions", how did he think of coming out in time for Christmas?

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and "Night at the Museum" have won the championships, bringing MM's weekly champions to 20, accounting for 40%, the biggest winner, and the big hit of "Night at the Museum" is expected to make MM's annual total box office exceed 1.7 billion.

The wimply man who served as the museum's night watchman, encountered various fossils, models of the "anthropomorphic rampage" fantasy comedy "Night at the Museum", the bad reviews did not affect the booming sales, from the huge Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton to Robin Williams played President Theodore Roosevelt, all kinds of gimmicks competed to be dispatched, after watching the trailer, it can be imagined that the popularity of the work is basically proportional to the unlucky index of the starring Ben Stiller in the play.

The last time "slut" Stiller swept the people into the hilarious whirlpool of the Chinese New Year, it was the Christmas comedy "Meet My Father-in-law 2" the year before last, with a basket of various "demon" behaviors, accompanied by Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand and other four acting veterans, won 280 million North Mi box office, this time teamed up with Williams, a senior comedian who had starred in the similar fantasy story "Jumanji 1", and invited Owen Wilson, a friend of "Living in a Threesome", to make a shining cameo. Levy is none other than the all-rounder of commercial comedies who successfully concocted "Newlyweds", "A Basket of Children", and "The Pink Panther".

"Boring, ingenious, zero originality"; Only jokes, no stories"; You can see it without IQ"; The misuse of CG technology is far more comical than the painless joke";" Even though the cast worked extremely hard to cover up the ugliness of the crude script, they were still powerless to erase boredom and disgust...... C-'s overall media score was unrelenting, but the twelfth place at the box office for its December premiere in film history was ignored, and its domestic harvest was estimated to be at least 150 million or more, thanks to MM's strong distribution capabilities, of course.

The big hit of "Rocky 6" is a dark horse, and the news that Stallone, who is about to celebrate his 60th birthday, is standing up with a body of out of shape muscles to fight again, is really terrifying, for fear of being punched and hung B, because he directed the second, third and fourth parts of the series The painful memory of the deterioration is unbearable, therefore, the "Rocky 6" written by his old man who is the actor of the golden sour plum century is logically speculated to be "another bad movie that makes heroes cry", plus at the beginning of the year in "Instinct 2" Sharon Stone, who was criticized for showing her legs for the second time and causing disgust, was stuck in the quagmire, and there were few optimistic evaluations before the release of "Lo 6".

However, "Rocky 6", which tells the story of "after the death of his wife, Rocky reappeared in the rivers and lakes against the eyes of people with suspicion and fought against the laws of convention and nature", and which has been a big hit at the Golden Sour Plum Award from the beginning of production, ended everyone's contemptuous eyes with a high score of B in the media comprehensive evaluation this week, and won a lot of praise: "A superb inspirational drama with no redundant content"; There is a touching power that goes straight to the heart"; The character of the protagonist who never gives up is vividly portrayed";" The desolate state of mind that people experience when facing the last chapter of their lives is meticulously delineated" .......

Although it can't reach the height of "Rocky 1", but Stallone, who is also a producer, director, screenwriter, and starring in the four important positions, can still see the good results this time, perhaps because his seriously outdated survival reality is very similar to the situation of the twilight years of the "Rocky" martyr, many film critics have expressed the feeling that Stallone and "Rocky" are almost inseparable, considering the prejudice formed by countless media against Stallone due to years of blows, "Rocky 6" This result is enough to leave the nitpickers speechless, and the judges who are ready to gloat must be disappointed.

"Rocky 1" won nine Oscar nominations and three statuettes, while earning 117 million yuan at the North Mi box office, and made Stallone the most popular action hero. But since then, the plot of the "Rocky" series has become more and more cartoonish, and the theatrical revenue of the third and fourth episodes has not clearly reflected the problem, so in the case of an average box office of about 114 million yuan from "Luo 1" to "Luo 4", the backlog of various stubborn diseases finally broke out in "Luo 5", not only lost all his money, but also allowed Sylvester Stallone to take away the Golden Sour Plum Award that has been with him for more than ten years in one fell swoop.

After 16 years of reflection, the comeback "Luo 6" earned a harvest of more than 2,200 yuan that was basically the same as the production cost within five days of its debut, and won the fifth premiere in the history of boxing movies, not to mention the Oscar Best Picture "Million Baby", in the 21st century, there are still two boxing films led by tough guy stars of "Boxing King Ali" and "Iron Fist Man", with an average box office data of 60 million yuan is tantamount to a benchmark for measuring similar products, I don't know if the counterattacking "Luo 6" can snow "Luo 5" 40 million yuan of former shame, with higher box office results?

In recent years, the action movie market has not been as good as before, even if there are blockbuster action movies such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", it is still impossible to hide the fact that action movies are in decline, a large number of action stars who used to be infinitely glamorous are becoming obsolete, many people have no drama to film, like Governor Arnold, who has the best mix, and has gone to politics, while Stallone, Bruce Willis, Liang Tang, etc. are better, they have been criticized, there are still scenes to film, and they can also mix a leading role, and like Shange Winton, Stephen Seger, Duff Runger, Wesley Snipes is really out of style, and the foundation is at the point where there is no drama to film.

Now popular on the screen are superheroes, the sissy Captain Jack, the elf prince who is prettier than a woman, Spider-Man who can strangle the shape of his ass in a straitjacket, and Iron Man ...... who is dressed in steel.

Those muscular men with knotted muscles, sweating profusely, and male hormones rushing in their faces are not welcome, and they can't attract the cheers and screams of the audience.

Mark is wondering if he should let Stallone form his "The Expendables".
