Chapter 343: Another Dud
Back in Los Angeles, Joanna separated from Eric, and although Eric wanted the girl to move to Sharp Corner Manor for a while, Joanna was reluctant, in her words, because she didn't want to encounter some embarrassing situation again.
However, the girl accepted a small cottage that Eric bought her in Beverly Hills, which was the second house that Eric had given her, and Farmick Jensen had also chosen a villa near Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, but it was far from the mansion that Eric first bought, but it was close to West Hollywood.
A million-dollar villa is nothing for Eric's current net worth, so Eric is looking forward to the day when his golden house will be held by Howard Hughes.
The first thing I did back in Los Angeles was, of course, about the release of The Silence of the Lambs.
In the past two weeks, Hollywood has not seen any box office blockbusters, compared to the same period last year, the sequel week of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was close to $5ooo US dollars, and among the six movies released in the past two weeks, only the "Total Recall" released on June 1 was a little better at the box office, "Total Recall" is an action blockbuster starring Schwarzenegger, and it is also the first large-scale film to be made by Sony Pictures after its establishment.
Although the film got $360,000 at the box office this week, it still didn't meet Sony's expectations, because the production cost of "Total Recall" was as high as $650,000, and the publicity cost was over $3ooo, and North America had to get close to $200 million at the box office to recoup the cost.
However, judging from the film's weekly results and the response after its release, it is clear that the film does not have the potential to harvest $200 million at the box office.
And the other "Back to the Future 3", the box office fell as much as 49 in the second week, and only got a box office of 14oo million, and there is no hope of breaking 100 million at the box office.
"The Silence of the Lambs" is not a big movie, except for Eric, it is several stars of the movie, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins and others.
And, of course, there's the trio of filmmakers, Elizabeth Murdoch, Julia Roberts, and ...... Drew Barrymore.
Under Eric's 'torture', Xiao Nizi told Eric about TG Films to Eric and Pan, and Eric only then knew that the girl had a 3O stake in TG Films. He believes that Xiao Nizi will not mess around.
I didn't expect to be able to see such a surprise now.
It's just that if this movie really follows the original trajectory and wins the best picture, it will be quite hilarious, because the best picture is awarded to the three main producers of the film at most, and this "The Silence of the Lambs" has exactly three people and three women in the column.
The thing is, before waiting for the future Oscars, after the movie was released in 15oo theaters on June 8, the three female producers of "The Silence of the Lambs" became the hottest topic in Hollywood in the following days, just like the content of the film.
Because of a bloody horror film about an ogre, a skin-skinning killer, the producer turned out to be three delicate beauties, this contrast is too great, not to mention, the starring role of the movie is also the famous Hollywood actress Jodie Foster.
Under the influence of this strong topic effect and the movie itself is very exciting, "The Silence of the Lambs" got a box office of 14oo on three days, because of the film's R-rated rating and the restrictions of the theaters in which it was released.
Here I have to mention another sad movie, Disney's other 'dud' "Rocket Expert".
The film has been in preparation for 66 years before, and it is said that Disney also spent a lot of money to develop a special camera mount for some lens effects.
Under the influence of Eric's butterfly effect, "Rocket Expert" appeared a year earlier, although the actor has not changed, it is still the unknown Bill Campbell, however, the heroine has been changed from Jennifer Connelly in the previous life to Brooke Small, because of the fame brought by meeting the girl in "Dark War" last year, although Brooke Smalls played a vase, but in this movie he got three times as much as Bill Campbell.
The tragedy is that this large-scale production with a total investment of more than 4ooo million yuan and a publicity cost of more than 2ooo US dollars only got more than 9ooo US dollars at the box office on three days, and it is inevitable to hit the streets.
Although the box office of Sony and Universal's two big productions is not as good as the movies in the same period last year, but people go overseas, and it is certain that they will recover their costs and make a fortune on the later videotapes by the way.
To this end, Eric deliberately studied several other Disney films that will be released in the next 6 this summer, and now except for "Ghost Love" with Feather Worm, the other Eric has no impression, and it seems that Disney's financial statements for the next quarter will be comparable. [,!] is ugly, I don't know how Michael Eisner will react.
After "The Silence of the Lambs", the propaganda offensive of Feather Insect's next film "Sleeping with the Enemy" became even more enthusiastic, of course, this qiē is operated by Robert Shea himself, because of the resentment of Robert Shay, Eric simply didn't ask, anyway, this movie will definitely be successful, he just needs to sit and wait for the final payment.
Although he didn't have to worry about "Sleeping with the Enemy", Eric's did not have much leisure time, because he had to worry about this film when he promised Cameron's current wife Catherine Bigelow to be the producer of "Shock Point". (To be continued)
