On the weekend, limited by director Lucas's miserable sales in the newspaper, and then he led the crew members to George Carlin's own talk show, the group complained emotionally about their hard work in making the movie, and even cried bitterly directly on the show, bluntly saying that the film was treated unfairly.

The public's sympathy was once again redeemed, coupled with the fact that the weekend was supposed to be a rest day, the largest number of moviegoers, and Lucas's film was excellent, for various reasons, "American Painting" won 4.2 million and 4.5 million box office again in two days over the weekend, and the North American box office in the first weekend has exceeded 20 million US dollars, and even reached 27.42 million US dollars, directly becoming the top weekend box office in North America in the first week.

It can be said that it has fallen below the expectations of the outside world, and even many filmmakers exclaimed, "The wolf of the anti-Vietnam War" is coming!

On Monday, June 4th, when the box office of "American Painting" was sent to Roy's office by Mike for the first time, Roy, who grew up at Disney after graduation, was also completely stunned by the statistics in front of him.

"Two hundred and seven million dollars!" Roy muttered as he held the data on the table.

Frankly speaking, a movie with such a result is something that Roy has rarely seen in Disney, if this is the result of Disney's animated films, he can be stable, after all, there is a precedent, but if it is a live-action movie, this is simply a Disney record.

You must know that this kind of achievement is the box office data that many movies can't get after the first round of screenings, and now it is actually obtained by Walter as a producer for the first time, how can he not be shocked?

When Walter was called to the office by Roy, he obviously felt that his uncle, looking at him with a lot of joy, this look made him feel extremely uncomfortable, if it wasn't for knowing that the other party was not a gay, he would have a feeling of immediate escape.

"Walter ......"

Roy was just about to speak, and Mike, who was also in the office, had already preemptively said, "The box office of the movie in the first weekend is more than four times that of "The Godfather"!"

"The Godfather?" Walter was a little surprised, blurted out in a lost voice, and then felt inappropriate, and asked back: "Last year's "The Godfather"?"

"Yes. Mike nodded.

At this time, Roy looked at Walter and asked in surprise, "Walter, don't you know the box office of the first weekend of "The Godfather"?"

Well...... Before Walter could think of a statement, Roy had already spoken: "Five million and twenty-four thousand dollars!"

Walter stopped talking for a while, to be honest, although he knew the greatness of the "Godfather" trilogy, it was obvious that he came from later generations, and more memories were just the classic plot of the Godfather, as for its box office, it has the foil of countless box office movies of hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations, and it obviously does not have much impact on "The Godfather".

"Director Roy, if you follow this trend, at the end of the first round of releases, the final box office of the movie, if there is no accident, will be very normal......"

Mike didn't say the rest, but it was easy to predict. Come to think of it, "The Godfather" was a hit movie released last year, and its opening weekend box office only exceeded $524,000, while "American Painting" was four times as much. As for the box office of "The Godfather" in the first round of releases, it reached a staggering $81.5 million, and now compared to "American Painting", its box office is even more shocking puzzle.

"This data is not as fake as the media advertises!"

Roy suddenly felt that his mind was a little messy, and he began to wonder if it was Walter's nephew, who was fooling himself for his own results, of course, how to deal with it, he was still very clear, I saw him pick up the landline, dial a number, and say a few words, and let Walter and Mike sit down in the office.

He doesn't believe that a rookie rookie can find such a powerful box office movie!

After all, in the final analysis, Walter is just a pawn he planted in the live-action production department in order to compete with Miller for power, and now if Walter shows the ability to choose blockbusters, then he has to change his original opinion of Walter.

Knock! Knock!

"Please come in!"

After Roy greeted him, he saw a woman who looked like a female assistant come in.

"Director Roy, this is the box office stats you want, please take a look. ”

Taking the box office statistics table, Roy flipped through it carefully, Walter stared at the statistics a few times, and understood that it should be the box office statistics that Roy sent someone to recollect, and it was obvious that he was a little uneasy about himself and Mike.

"Did the box office really break 10 million on the first day?"

Roy stared at the box office statistics for a long time, then put down the paper, frowned at Walter and asked, obviously he also saw that it was boring, as for whether the movie was brushing the box office, after watching the re-collection of box office statistics, he was very sure that there was not.

"Does it matter if the box office breaks 10 million on the first day of the movie?" Watt asked rhetorically.

Roy was stunned for a moment, speechless, thinking about it, the box office is not cheating, it is just a means of publicity, this is not a matter of spending money to buy the box office, and you have to pay taxes, and the gains outweigh the losses, so there is no need to care about it.

Then Roy looked at Walter, shook his head and smiled: "You are really a shrewd propagandist, anti-Vietnam War propaganda idea...... I really don't know how you came up with it? Go back, and then this 'anti-Vietnam War wolf' will ask you to continue to promote, and I will wait for your celebration party that will break 100 million at the box office......"

"No problem, wait and see. ”

When "American Painting" was officially announced to the public, after the box office broke the $27 million mark in the first weekend, it was reported by major public relations newspapers one after another, at this time, even if there was no negative news, it could not stop the popularity of the film, it was still increasing, and the box office was also growing.

In the second week, after being stimulated by the box office of the first weekend of "American Painting", major theaters have increased the number of films in their theaters, making the second week of the movie easily win 31 million box office, which is as stable as ever, and once again topped the North American weekly box office list.

This time, not only industry insiders have called the movie "the wolf of the anti-Vietnam War", but even the media in the major entertainment sectors have also used this title, and even some media have promoted that "American Style Painting" will once again open the enthusiasm of the masses to go to the theater to watch movies, and the golden age of Hollywood movies will come again.

Of course, there is no need to debate how this report is, anyway, the reputation of the "anti-Vietnam War wolf" has already been formed, and it is constantly fermenting.
