Even the seasoned Jon Fairheimer (CEO of Fire Lion Pictures) didn't expect "Hot Moms and Girls" to gain so much momentum.

The next day, Saturday, saw a slight increase in results, reaching $13 million.

On the third day, Sunday, it will fall to $9 million.

"Hot Moms and Hot Girls" ended its opening weekend with a successful $34 million!

This not only greatly surprised everyone's expectations, but also made this film the runner-up of the North American box office list, second only to "Spider-Man", which is still a big hit.

After that, although the box office performance of "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" declined slightly, it also managed to break the $100 million box office mark in six weeks.

For a medium-budget film with a production cost of only $20 million, it can be compared to "Legally Blonde", which made Rishi Witherspoon an overnight hit.

"Hot Mom Hot Girl" is a remake of Disney's old comedy, and the old version was starring legendary actress Jodie Foster as a child.

Although it is a remake this time, the fantasy setting and dramatic conflict make this film quite interesting.

However, what surprised the audience and film critics even more was that after Lindsay and Queen Kate, the "mother and daughter", changed their bodies, their wonderful acting skills were dizzying and exciting, and they completely stole the limelight from others.

Cate Blanchett's interpretation of the "daughter" after the soul exchange is amazing!

Whether it is the shocking transformation of cutting long hair short, or the facial expression of instant embarrassment and resistance in the face of the "fiancé", the performance is very good.

If this kind of character transformation is inherently easier for adults to perform, then the great demon Cate Blanchett has pushed this difficulty to a height that is difficult for others to achieve!

But！

Lindsay's performance is completely capable of matching one of the long and short.

In the film, Lindsay seems to be possessed by a soul, as a fifteen-year-old girl, without disobedience, as if she were the mother of a middle-aged woman.

Every gesture carries the marks and habits of middle-aged people, such as the small action of chopping feet and shaking shoulders after quitting smoking, the unhesitating slap of the head and reprimand in the face of "daughter" Kate, the change in walking pace, and so on.

Although Sid did not direct this film, at the script stage, he had an in-depth discussion with Lindsay about the difficulties of the anti-transformation scene, and the mentality and motivation of the mother after the transformation, and then to the small actions and micro-expressions, it can be said that Sid and Lindsay have done enough homework and effort for this role.

It is precisely because of this serious ingenuity that Lindsay and Kate's surprising performances have successfully attracted a wave of audiences to the cinema to watch, and the excellent reputation of "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" has also spread.

The Los Angeles Times said, "This is the best performance and collaboration between the two heroines in a commercial film!" Cate Blanchett's 'naïve daughter' is hilarious, convincing, and convincing. And Lindsay Lohan performed the image of an 'old-fashioned but warm mother' more accurately, as if it were a natural performance, which was unforgettable. ”

The New York Times even said that "Cate Blanchett and Lindsay Lohan's excellent acting skills make it hard to believe that this is just a commercial comedy." ”

The Chicago Tribune said, "The collision of Lindsay and Kate, two talented actresses, is indeed full of surprises and highlights." ”

"Variety Weekly" even said - "The wonderful performances of Lindsay Lohan and Cate Blanchett, and even make people feel that such performances only appear in a commercial comedy, which is a pity." ”

's excellent acting skills, performances full of highlights, and humorous but warm family concepts make "Hot Mom and Hot Girl" the most suitable family movie for family and friends to watch together this summer.

To the north of Los Angeles is Burbank, a satellite city of big-name companies, where not only Disney is headquartered, but also the Hollywood Big Seven and mainstream media companies have important branches here.

And Warner Bros. Pictures is no exception, as the CEO of Warner Pictures, Barry Meyer has had a lot of ups and downs recently, like a roller coaster.

First, DC Comics was forcibly split and sold by the New York headquarters, and then the Washington Post broke the shocking news that AOL was suspected of financial fraud and deceived the Securities and Futures Commission and public shareholders.

It's a felony comparable to a murderer in North America, and once it's implemented, Steve Case, the founder of AOL USA, will likely run out of food and walk around.

The revelation of this news alone has caused the market value of AOL Time Warner's stock price to evaporate by nearly $300 billion, and even the New York headquarters has been investigated by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Futures Commission.

However, on the other hand, the "Four-Point Plan", which was originally strongly promoted by the AOL series, also made AOL much less powerful than before because of this blow, and the board of directors finally urgently stopped the "Four-Point Plan".

This couldn't help but make Barry Meyer, who was far away in Los Angeles, breathe a sigh of relief, and after temporarily eliminating these external troubles, he was finally able to concentrate his energy on the inside.

"Oh, Robert, you're finally here. A somewhat emaciated figure appeared at the door of the coffee shop, and Barry Meyer beckoned to him, then said to the approaching middle-aged man.

Robert Shea, the founder of New Line Pictures, is currently in the limelight with "The Lord of the Rings", which can be described as a unique existence in solo and semi-independent studios.

"Oh, hello, Barry. Robert Shea shook Barry Meyer's hand lukewarmly, and then sat down.

Seeing the other party's cold attitude, Barry Meyer couldn't help frowning slightly, but immediately covered up the past with a smile.

Although New Line Pictures is a subsidiary of Warner Pictures, because its founder Robert Shea has a larger share of equity, not only New Line Pictures' movie-related revenue, Robert Shea can get more, but New Line Pictures also has the right to operate independently.

Coupled with the great success of "The Lord of the Rings" from last year to this year, New Line Pictures has made New Line Pictures even more proud and extraordinary at a time when the overall development of Warner Pictures is not going well.

Even in front of Barry Meyer, the top boss of Warner Pictures, Robert Shea is completely unworthy.

Of course, this makes Barry Meyer very unhappy, but as a sane manager, he knows what he should really focus on.

In fact, looking at the ups and downs of the new line film industry over the years, it is easy to see the coexistence of high risk and high return in the film industry.

Since the beginning of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the early 90s, the new line has been bumping and turning between big profits and big losses.
