In the sixth week of its release, although "007: The Ghost Party" was squeezed into the third place on the weekly box office list, the single-week box office still reached $15.52 million, and since the opening of the film, the cumulative local box office in more than two months has been as high as 247.73 million US dollars, which is far from the 300 million threshold itself in the early 50 million, and basically locks in the 300 million box office club.

Daenerys Entertainment's only blockbuster movie "Guillotine Valley", which was produced and distributed by Daenerys Entertainment in the summer two weeks behind "007: Spectre", also ranked fourth on the list in its fourth week, earning $15.17 million. In the first month of its release, the film grossed $129.56 million.

Obviously, the box office volume of "Guillotine Valley" and "007: Ghost Party" is not in the same order of magnitude at all. However, the box office results of this fantasy horror film that can be used as a wallpaper in every frame have met Simon's expectations, and the film's expected local box office has increased from the initial 150 million to 170 million, and the local theater release alone has allowed Daenerys Entertainment to recover more than 90% of the total investment of 100 million.

After the top four, the single-week box office of "Birdcage", which ranked fifth on the list, fell directly into the range of 10 million US dollars, and the box office in the third week of release was 9.07 million US dollars.

Robin Williams starred in this alternative same-sex comedy in North and American time, space, and North America, the cumulative box office exceeded 100 million, this time, due to many reasons, the box office of the film in three weeks of release was only $47.95 million, although the box office of about $70 million is still beyond MGM's expectations, but it has not been able to replicate the outstanding results in history.

However, the box office performance of "Birdcage" is also better than Disney's "Brave Island".

Once the three main creators were only the veteran 007 actor Sean Connery's new version of "Death Island", although it still burned Disney's production budget of up to $70 million, in the same third week of release, the single-week box office was only $8.13 million, and the cumulative box office in three weeks was $46.25 million.

France's Vivendi ambitiously swallowed this old film company, which can be regarded as an American cultural icon, last year, just like Sony, which bought the "Statue of Liberty" in the first place, and poured basins of cold water one after another.

On July 26, a new box office week began.

In the last box office week, because of the opening of the Olympic Games, the box office volume in North America fell from 167 million to 111 million, a drop of 35%, and the impact was obvious.

This week's Olympics continue to be hot, and there are no commercial films with a scale of more than 1,000 in North American theaters, and there is only a new Coen Brothers film "Ice Storm" produced by Gaomen Pictures, which won the Best Director Award at the previous Cannes Film Festival, and the media reputation is very good, with 715 screens.

Entering the weekend, the Atlanta Olympics, which lasted smoothly for a week, suddenly changed.

In the early morning of July 27, an open-air concert that gathered thousands of people suddenly exploded, because the crowd at the time of the explosion was too dense, causing more than 200 people to be injured at the scene, 11 people died directly, and in the subsequent noise and chaos, there were serious injuries and deaths one after another.

Such a heinous bombing shocked the whole world.

Clinton paid attention to the bombing overnight and asked the FBI to set up a special investigation team, and countries around the world also expressed concern and sympathy for the bombing and condemned the criminals.

Speaking of which, the bombings in the United States in the 90s have simply come one after another, such as the World Trade Center bombing in 93, the Woodfield Manor bombing in 94, the Oklahoma City bombing in 95, and even the Atlanta Olympics bombing in 96 this time.

Not to mention, for the Atlanta Olympics bombing, as a later thought, Simon basically knows the ins and outs.

First of all, the casualties in this bombing were significantly more than Simon's memory, because in the past, the bomb backpack was discovered in advance by a patrolling policeman, but it did not have time to detonate, but exploded during the evacuation of the crowd, so the death toll was very small, but this time it was not detected in advance, so it caused more than 10 direct deaths.

Ironically, the policeman who once spotted the exploding backpack in advance was once slandered as a suspect and his life was almost ruined.

Moreover, Eric Rudolph, the suspect in the 1996 bombing, was not captured until 10 years later, and is still a repeat offender after interrogation, who has been responsible for multiple bombings since 1977, and the attack on the Atlanta Olympics is to protest the Clinton administration's relaxation of abortion controls.

Even if he knew the inside story, Simon just watched from the sidelines.

Two years ago, several successive operations were all for the sake of Liwei, telling some people that if they beat the Westeros family's crooked ideas, he would not hesitate to break the net. Even interfering in the midterm elections was actually very risky.

If you meddle in the Atlanta Olympics bombing this time, it will definitely end up like a certain policeman who was wronged to the point of collapse.

As a result, it was business as usual within the Westeros system.

After a chaotic and turbulent weekend, on July 29, Verizon Telecom officially announced the start of the IPO roadshow, and the listing date was set on August 15.

Because he plans to have a family vacation after Verizon is listed, he plans to stay in Australia for half a month, and Simon's recent work schedule is more full.

In the midst of the busyness, August is coming soon.

The first major event in August was the inauguration of Yeltsin's second term on August 3.

For Yeltsin's re-election, the general concern of the outside world is undoubtedly the Russian business oligarchs who have successfully penetrated the Kremlin, such as Berezovsky, who is rumored to be running for the post of prime minister, but Simon has noticed a detail. On the day of the inauguration, in a group photo released by the Yeltsin government of the core of the new Kremlin administration, a middle-aged man with a small figure and sparse hair appeared in the corner of the photo seemingly casually.

More definite news followed.

The day after Yeltsin's inauguration, the first batch of Kremlin core list adjustments was announced, and someone was prominently listed. In addition, he was promoted from the deputy director of the presidential affairs bureau who was only the chief butler of the White House to the deputy director of the general affairs bureau of the presidential office, although the names of the two departments are similar, but the powers are very different, the former is equivalent to the deputy director of Ouchi, and the latter is the deputy director of the confidential department directly responsible to the head of state, and is also responsible for the formulation of quite important foreign economic and legal policies.
