Chapter 424 was unexpected
In the first week of 2007, MM's family adventure comedies "Night at the Museum" and "When Happiness Knocks" continued to hold the top two spots in the North North box office charts.
This is the third consecutive week that the two films have topped and runners-up at the box office, with "Night at the Museum" earning $24 million last weekend and "When Happiness Knocks" earning $13 million.
To date, comedy star Ben Stiller's PG-rated film "Night at the Museum" has grossed $164 million in North America, while Will Smith's "When Happiness Knocks" has grossed $124 million, having topped the box office a month ago.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, MM held the first and second positions, which is great news for them, and for other companies, it is a lot of pressure.
For other films, Universal's radical dystopian sci-fi film "Children of Men" continued to receive a good response after expanded screenings, and after two weeks of partial screenings and excellent results, "Children of Men" expanded to 1,209 theaters and grossed $12 million last week, "Children of Men" averaged $8,500 per room, the highest among the top 10 films at the box office, and in second place was Paramount and DreamWorks' musical "Dream Girl."
"Children of Men" director Alfonso Cuarón's last English-language film was 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which grossed $250 million in North America.
Among the new films released last week, Paramount's PG-13 film "Freelance Writer" earned $9.7 million in "manuscript fees" in the first week, ranking fourth on the box office list, the film starring Hilary Swank, tells the story of a female teacher who guides and educates a group of young high school students, the film was released in 1,360 theaters last week, with an average box office of $71 million per theater, and the film will be released next week with another 700 screens, and "Liberty Writer" produced by MTV Studios, which is 62% MTV Studios' last film for Paramount was the low-brow comedy "Idiot Funny Show 2," which grossed $29 million in its first week of release last year.
With most of the home audience still in the hands of "Night at the Museum," Lionsgate's CG animation "Wicked New World" came in sixth place in its first week of release, earning $6.8 million in 2,381 theaters and $2,850 in a single theater, making it appear that the independent production company was only launching the film to close a deal.
New Line's new film, Codename: The Hitman, was a poor performer, and the action-comedy starring "Entertainer" Cedric was squeezed out of the top 10 box office in its first week of release, earning only $4.6 million in 1,736 theaters and $2,640 in a single theater.
"Dream Girl," which still has 852 theaters, has maintained a steady trend before expanding its release, with a single-hall performance of $1400 last week, and the total revenue of the film so far is $55 million, but it is down 37% from the previous week's box office.
Other solid hits include Paramount's G-rated "Charlotte's Web," which has been hovering in the middle of the top 10 box office charts for the past month, earning a solid $6.6 million last week, and a total of $67 million.
Universal's political film "The Secret Service" fell by as much as 41% in its third week of release. Directed by Robert De Niro and starring Matt Dimon, the film grossed $6.5 million in 3,018 theaters last week and currently grosses $48 million.
MGM's "Rocky 6" grossed 6.3 million last week and continued to rank in the top 10 of the box office list, but like "Shepherd," the film also fell 41% last week. In the three weeks since its release, the boxing movie starring Stallone has earned $60 million.
Stallone proved that his sword is not old, won Mark's appreciation, won a big contract, and obtained the right to make the movie he wanted.
Warner Bros.'s football film "The Successor" ranked 10th on the box office list, earning $5 million in 2,052 theaters last week and grossing $35.4 million in three weeks of theater.
Next week's box office charts are likely to be dominated by "Night at the Museum" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", as the appeal of other new releases to the family audience is really limited, and the box office prospects of MM's new film "Hip-hop Boy" are not optimistic.
"Night at the Museum" and "When Happiness Knocks" dominated the North Mi box office last week, and neither film fell by more than 30% at the box office, and the total box office of the top 10 films on the box office list was the same as the same period last year, when the North American box office belonged to "King Kong" and "The Chronicles of Narnia", both of which were blockbusters with huge investments, and this year, these two can only be said to be medium investment.
By the end of December, all the films that hit next year's Oscars have been released, and a total of fifty or sixty films have won this big fat, of course, this Oscar statuette is limited, and other awards are also competing for the object.
Not every movie has a sufficient budget for publicity and promotion, and not every movie is eye-catching, and awards season provides them with an opportunity to spend less money and be more in the limelight, and the profitable market will prosper, and everyone will flock here, so that the whole of Hollywood will prosper and everyone will make money.
In the top ten, MM Group occupies three parts, and it occupies one or two places, such a starting result, so that the rest of MM smiles, only Mark can't laugh, he feels that he is in greater danger, at any time the East Window incident, this child may be a fire, will Mark in a beautiful wrapper wrapped in all this burn.
When Scarlett said that he would kill the child, he breathed a sigh of relief, and now he was ashamed of what he had done, that the sin was caused by his greed, and that what had to do with the child? He was innocent, and he had to settle the matter properly, so he called Scarlett again to show his humility, and on the other hand he told Louise to go to Cartier to buy a beautiful and expensive jewel and give it to Giselle.
Egger's suggestion coincides with his thoughts, he also plans so, but in terms of specific operation, you must be cautious, today's MM has become stronger, and the opponents have become stronger, they are very unhappy that MM has such a large share, if Mark has anything wrong, they will definitely attack it en masse, which they refer to Viacom, Disney, News Corporation, such a force, the president can't handle it, and this Warner, because of "The Hangover 2" and "The Dark Knight", etc., temporarily stands on the same front.
Mark was now on the surface, dangerous on the inside, and Martin he didn't want to think about, and he didn't know how to decide on it, but it was certain that it was compatible with both friend and foe.
This is the only threat in the world, and I guess Martin thinks so too.
Recently, the two sides have rarely interacted, but it is certain that Martin is in the layout, he is laying out for the subprime mortgage crisis, this is a great opportunity to work hard, of course, it is also a great opportunity to hit the opponent, Mark has privately used hundreds of millions of funds, investment and layout, he has a lot of money in his hands, a lot of debt, he also hopes to make a profit, and then make a plan.
After Stanley went to work for a few days, he found out that he was robbing someone else's job, and several of his supervisors joined forces to set him up, and did not let him touch any specific business, which was completely a mud fetus Bodhisattva, these supervisors were staring at the manager's fat, who knew that this outsider was occupied, or an outsider with no work experience and no academic diploma, who did not match at all, and their eyes were red with anger.
But Stanley doesn't really want to make a career out of it, it's just a cover for his identity, he goes bowling or gym every day when he has nothing to do, and he leaves work on time, which is a bit like his old life, except that he doesn't have to accompany Mark to practice free play.
Mark is physically strong, has a deep attainment in martial arts, more than ten years of hard training is not in vain, he and Stanley, a retired special forces person, fight equally, Mark will fight with Stanley when he is interested.
Stanley doesn't care about the overhead of these people, he goes to and from work every day, mixes a salary, and as for what goes wrong, he pushes it out, anyway, he has the support of the disco boss, he doesn't care what these people think, he is a killer, not a professional.
Sure enough, several of his supervisors joined forces to make trouble, and the "inactive" Stanley sued the general manager, saying that he would either fire Stanley or accept their resignation, and after the general manager said that he was happy to accept their resignation, these people obediently went out to do things.
They kind of know that Stanley's strong background is not something they can regret, they are self-inflicted.
In this way, Stanley's roots were purified, and his work was more leisurely, and as long as he was commanded, none of these people dared to disobey, which was regarded as having some kind of authority.
Stanley is very fond of this kind of right to command people, it is better than a late let others command, he is a powerful person, self-evaluation is an eagle dog hawk dog, can be an eagle, do not want to be a dog, he is not a boss material, but a natural general.
Jackson asked Stanley to come to his office, and after a few warm words, he got straight to the point and said, "Boss, there's a task for you!" He pushed an envelope in front of Stanley.
Stanley took the envelope over, took out the photo inside with a blank face, his hand trembled, and he lost his voice: "Mark!"
