Although this decline also exceeded Warner Bros. expectations before its release, combined with the $135.42 million earned in the previous five working days, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" successfully surpassed the $400 million mark, reaching $427.37 million.

At the same time, the film has collected nearly $250 million overseas, and the global box office has been infinitely close to the $1 billion mark, and it only takes one to two days to break the $1 billion.

Various negative events did have an impact on The Dark Knight Rises, but the film's momentum is still amazing.

"If there is no negative news, how much will The Dark Knight Rise do at the box office? Could it be another Avengers? ”

Some media have raised questions that if it weren't for the Santa Monica Mall shooting, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" would indeed be stronger, but Duke does not expect a significant increase in the global box office.

The reason is simple, the North American market has been negatively affected, while overseas, "The Dark Knight Rises" has become even more famous, attracting more passers-by to enter the theater.

Despite the company's predictions that the final North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rise" will not exceed $600 million, and the global box office will remain between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, instead of the $1.5 billion expected by Warner Bros., no one can deny that the film was a huge success even so.

This fact annoys a lot of people.

David, who has been jumping up and down behind the scenes, fanning the flames? Ellison was one of them, in his office at Sky Movie Studios. When he saw the latest box office report, he couldn't help but scratch his hair, and his expression was clearly annoyed.

While everything he did clearly worked, such box office numbers simply didn't hit Duke? Rosenberg, even made his behavior seem a little ridiculous.

What if I hadn't gotten some good news at the same time today, David? Ellison really wanted to tear up this box office statistic.

Delivered with the box office statistics report. There are also several partnership agreements between Sky Studios and Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

After a long period of negotiations, coupled with the economic crisis in 2008, Hollywood has been facing a shortage of money, especially Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures' tight financial chain, Sky Films Studios finally reached an agreement with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures on many conditions and became partners.

According to the terms of the agreement, Sky Movie Studios received the investment rights for the next three installments of Paramount Pictures' "Star Trek" series. Unlike a regular investment, Sky Studios will receive half of the investment quota and enjoy all the benefits corresponding to the share of the investment.

On the other hand, Sky Movie Studios such as David? Ellison got the right to invest in the next four parts of the "Fast and Furious" series. And unlike "Fast and Furious 5", Universal Pictures, which is short of funds, basically agrees that Sky Movie Studios has the right to income from the same investment.

Other than that, David? Ellison will also invest in a new installment of "Jurassic Park" that has been rebooted by Universal Pictures, accounting for 50 percent of the investment.

He invested in a new installment of Jurassic Park. It also solves the urgent need of Universal Pictures.

All of this makes David? Ellison's mood was getting better, after years of accumulation. He thoroughly understands one thing, investing in so-called new ideas and new ideas is too risky, and the possibility of failure far outweighs success, and investing in a sequel to a successful series of films. Just like "Fast and Furious 5", the return on investment ratio is obviously higher.

David? Ellison also made up his mind that Sky Studios would not invest in so-called creative films in the short term.

Drop those thoughts for a moment, David? Ellison looked through the documents about "Alien Battlefield", this film will be released soon, and the success or failure is also related to the future development of Sky Film Studios, although he has some doubts and worries that he was cheated in the first place, but after watching the film, he still thinks that it may be a big hit.

This film is quite well-made, and it is based on a well-known novel, there is no lack of fan base, and with enough investment in publicity, it should be a success......

Just in David? While Ellison was thinking this, a hurried knock suddenly sounded, David? After Ellison spoke, his assistant pushed open the door and hurried in.

“boss！” The assistant turned on the TV in the room and switched to n, "There's a show about James?" Holmes press conference, you'd better take a look. ”

Hear the assistant say that, David? Ellison closed the file and turned to the TV, which was the Los Angeles police report on "Santa Monica Mall Shooting and James?" Holmes".

On the TV screen, hundreds of reporters focused on the Los Angeles County Police Commissioner Grace Pace, David? Ellison is also staring at him, hoping that the other party will throw more amazing content, and keep the media's attention on "The Dark Knight Rises".

What Li Pace said didn't make David either? Ellison was disappointed, and the leaked news was absolutely shocking, even to David? Ellison's face changed dramatically.

"According to the interrogation and verification of the police, what happened last year was Van ? Diesel's car accident was not an accident, but a deliberate murder, according to James? Holmes's confession, he was the direct perpetrator of that incident, and the real culprit behind the scenes......"

More than David? Ellison, his assistant didn't expect such a press conference, and his shocked mouth couldn't help but open slightly.

"What's going on?" David? Ellison's angry eyes stared at the assistant, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I ...... I...... I don't know. The assistant gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Boss, you said that we can't come forward in person for this kind of thing, I handed it over to someone else to be responsible, it is said that he found a poor bastard who was drunk......"

In order to keep things from involving themselves, this kind of thing must have made countless turns, and in the assistant's mind, there are countless unemployed and homeless people in the United States, and some of them dare to do anything for money.

It's just that I never thought that things would involve James? Holmes.

And this James? Holmes's mouth is also too loose, isn't he imitating a clown? Such a person, can he still call himself a clown?

David? Ellison couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and walked back twice, constantly telling himself to be calm, after all, there are too many turns in this kind of thing, even if the police know about Fan? Diesel's car accident was not an accident, and it was impossible to find out what he was doing.

Also, there is room for this kind of thing to operate, as long as your side is not chaotic, you don't have to worry too much about it at all.

Take two deep breaths, David? Ellison sat back down at his desk and told the assistant, "You put aside your other work for a while and follow up on this matter." ”

The assistant nodded vigorously.

"Listen to the latest news." David? Ellison added, "I need to know where the case goes." ”

Wait for the assistant to leave, David? Ellison didn't have the heart to look at the documents anymore, sat here and thought for a while, vetoed the idea of informing his father immediately, after all, things were far from getting out of hand.

The progress of the case announced by the Los Angeles police was like a bowl of cold water thrown into the oil, causing waves all over the world, and the focus of public opinion suddenly turned to Fan? On the Diesel incident, the dead Hollywood star once again exerted his residual heat, which not only became the focus of the media, but also made "The Dark Knight Rise" gradually get out of the previous whirlpool of public opinion.

Any news or even gossip has its timeliness, and the media is always chasing the freshest news. Holmes murdering Van ? Diesel", which already has the nature of fried cold rice "The Dark Knight Rises" and the problem of movie violence, it is difficult to arouse public attention again.

"Don't relax."

In the Warner Studios office, Duke told Tina? Phi, "urge Li Pace and the police department to continue the investigation." ”

"They've tracked down a private investigator." Tina? Faye told Duke about the latest nervousness, "Although there is some pressure, the LAPD has no intention of stopping for the time being, they are looking for the private investigator, and they also think that things will not be as simple as they seem." ”

Duke thought for a moment, then said, "Fan? What about Diesel's family? ”

"No response for the time being." Tina? Fei flipped through the information and glanced at it, "Fan? Diesel did not have a good relationship with his parents, and his parents did not care much about his life or death. ”

"Paloma? And what about Gimenez? "Duke is talking about Fan? The girlfriend Diesel had abused, "had her find out and go to the police station to put pressure on her." ”

Tina? Fei nodded slightly, "This is a very greedy woman, it is not difficult to move her." ”

"From now on...... Duke curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "We and Fan?" Diesel stood together. ”

For the sake of profit, they once stood in Fan? Diesel's opposite, vigorously discrediting his reputation after his death; Also for the sake of profit, they can also stand in the van? Diesel's camp urged the police to pursue the incident.

"If things really have something to do with him," Tina? Fei asked with a little confusion, "Are we really going to send him to prison?" ”

"Sent to jail?" Duke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Why did you send him to jail?" Don't forget, with his and his father's net worth, it's enough to hire a large team of lawyers. And what good is it for us to send him to prison? ”

How could Duke waste so much effort on something that didn't have enough benefits?

A few more words, Tina? Faye left the office, and she had to keep an eye on the reaction from all sides, as Duke wanted. (To be continued~^~)
