Hollywood doesn't know how many places are saying the same thing.

"The miracle is over!"

Daniel. Sandler's miracle is over!

To those who don't know anything about the situation, everyone, including Fox's Bill, is doing something too abnormal. Even if you only get 8.95 million on the first Saturday, it doesn't seem to mean anything, and it is not impossible for the total box office to reach 70 million, for "Unstoppable", which has a total cost of less than 50 million, it may not make money, but it is very reluctant to say that it will lose money.

However, this is the case, and everyone is united in thinking that Daniel. Sandler ended his own miracle.

If everyone thinks so, then that's the result.

The so-called miracle, the so-called legend, isn't it a result recognized by everyone?

Bill's female secretary was obviously not very skilled in these jobs, so she was puzzled by Bill's statement.

"No, no, no, for Fox, Paramount, Columbia, and even Warner Bros., a movie that can hit the Oscars, with such a ticket seller, and there is a high probability that it will not lose money, is already a success. However, this is not the case for DD Pictures. Why do you think DD Pictures is enough to compete with us in just five years? "Greek Wedding"? "The Hangover"? The Social Network? Or Pirates of the Caribbean? Aren't we, don't we have a movie that makes money? Could it be that our total box office is lower than that of DD Pictures? ”

Bill's tone was a little erratic, his eyes looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the churning clouds.

"Because DD Pictures is special, it's special because Daniel. Sandler, the Hollywood genius who claims to have never failed, is a real genius. He can win several Oscars while making his own movies invincible in the box office market. This forced us to give DD Pictures a special status - a production company that never fails? While no one believes DD Pictures can survive, we have to see an example of a failure. to get this unbelievable hat off the head of DD Pictures, and then. It's a normal studio -- Fox isn't afraid of any normal competitor.

And "Unstoppable" will be an example, Daniel trained for at least 4 months in order to star in it, and devoted himself to filming for 3 months, more than half a year before and after. And its subject matter, a flattering musical biopic. Based on DD Pictures' experience, not to mention "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Social Network", it should be at least at the level of "Hotel Rwanda" and "The Pianist", which is 100 million - I mean without taking inflation into account. Now, do you think it's possible? Is it possible for "Unstoppable" to break through 100 million box office with an opening of 8.95 million? ”

……

"The world is too me."

Daniel is on video with David. DD Pictures has certainly collected a lot of public opinion, especially in the industry, around all the industries around Hollywood, as well as the media. What they said about the significance of the 8.95 million, David told Daniel "honestly", but his purpose was certainly not to comfort Daniel. Because Daniel's previous carelessness in the promotion of "Unstoppable" made David extremely angry.

Now, retribution has come!

Seriously, he wasn't worried about Daniel - for Daniel. The name of the undefeated legend no longer brings too much practical benefit.

A significant point is that in the schedule of DD and MGM films, the halo can no longer be replaced.

Now, this name is more of a stone pressed on the hearts of competitors. It's not that it makes sense to make them a little bit less smooth in the competition, but it's really unrealistic to expect this to make a big difference.

DD Pictures has long established itself in Hollywood. MGM has also regained a lot of confidence this year, although it cannot be said to be worry-free. But at least with the current management and operational thinking, there is a lot of confidence.

Daniel knew what he meant as soon as he looked at David's expression.

"Since they think it's possible to reach 60 million to 70 million box office, they won't lose money, why do they feel so unanimously that I have ushered in my first failure?"

Daniel did wonder how his opponent would define his "undefeated legend" by not knowing how he thought about him.

David, who is in the circle of CEOs of production companies, knows more about this.

The reasons are not much different from what Bill said.

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh.

"It turns out that I used to be too good."

“……”

David decided to ignore it all, "What's next?" Or does the plan for the latter not change? Will the Christmas schedule push out "Happy Feet" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" to fight against "Wonderful Night at the Museum"? ”

"It's not so exaggerated, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is at least a week earlier than "Bigfoot", as for "Wonderful Night at the Museum", it is a little more competitive with Fox's "Dragon Knight", not to mention, "Dream Girl" and "Charlotte's Web" are all competitors, this schedule is big enough, not as tight as Thanksgiving."

David nodded, in fact, he also asked a lot, it is impossible to cancel the release now, after all, the publicity has begun.

After hesitating for a moment, David asked, "Do you still think the promotional strategy for Unstoppable is the right one?" ”

Obviously, this is a serious, unironic question — in other words, David is trying to say whether Daniel still has confidence in the film's box office.

"Do you think it should get more than 100 million?"

Coughed a little embarrassed, "I talked to Mark for a while, and when it came to this movie, I was surprised by his confidence in you, so it was inevitable that there would be some extra thoughts...... Is it really only 60 million to 70 million? ”

Daniel couldn't help himself from the other side of the computer.

The group of people around him is accustomed to being superior to others, especially F2F, who worships him more than Hollywood, after all, in terms of the amount of wealth created, F2F and MB are several times more than DD Pictures, and the time is shorter.

The box office of 70 million is definitely not low for such an investment-level movie, but it seems that everyone looks down on it.

"I think it's going to make you happy."

Before leaving the video, Daniel gave David a vague but positive answer.

But he was not given any explanation.

This made the feeling of imminent movement in David's heart not only not appeased, but even more unbearable.

“FUCCCK！”

Across the Atlantic, it can't stop David's resentment. (To be continued.) )
