~： 544-200 million

The beginning of this year’s summer vacation is definitely the most uncompetitive year since the 1990s, and the main reason for the current situation is that in the golden period of May, the first “Dark Knight” announced its decision. It directly made most of the films choose to avoid it, and then the sudden release of "Jurassic Park 2" completely dispelled all the ambitions of other production companies for May.

In recent years, Wayne and Steven Spielberg are definitely one of the highest-grossing directors in Hollywood. In particular, although their films are of different genres, they have one thing in common, that is, as long as The box office will explode, and then the hot situation will completely violate the laws of the market. Like a wild horse, no one knows how far it can run.

You can't expect to use external force to intercept the wild horse, you can only wait for it to run tired, and after it has no physical strength at all, stop slowly, just like the current "Dark Knight", it is the time when the physical strength is the most abundant, so inside the circle Most of the production companies are watching the excitement, and everyone is waiting for "Jurassic Park 2" to stop these wild horses.

Wayne and George Lucas were interviewed by reporters on "SomethingJustLikeThis" on Sunday night, especially when they both faced the camera and said that they would not take a penny from the song and make all the money. All of them will be used for public welfare, which has won the favor of countless North American people.

Countless people are gearing up, wanting to wait until the next morning to snap up a single, and Warner Bros.'s purpose is quite simple, they are not ready to make much money with this song now, what they want is to come on the working day Afterwards, it can also ensure the popularity of "The Dark Knight" and attract more passers-by to enter the theater to contribute to the box office.

The sky gradually darkened, but the lights in the study kept on, and the clock struck midnight, which also meant that the weekend was over, and a new working day had come again after the hustle and bustle. Steven Spielberg leaned on the chair in front of the study desk, with a mess of newspapers and magazines in front of him.

The smoke of the cigar continued to rise, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, but the good old Jewish man did not feel sleepy at all, turned his head again, and turned his eyes to the movie magazine that was opened in front of him.

"Clang, clang, clang."

There were several knocks on the door, neither light nor heavy, and a middle-aged blond woman in pajamas pushed open the study door and walked in with a cup of steaming coffee in her hand. "Honey, don't be too busy."

The woman put the coffee on the desk and took away another cup that was already cold. She originally wanted to leave the study and go to sleep after telling her, but when her eyes swept over the newspapers and magazines, her footsteps stopped involuntarily.

"Kate, go to sleep first, don't mind me." Steven Spielberg took a sip of coffee, crossed his hands on his chest, leaned back on the chair and resumed silent waiting.

"Okay." The woman nodded, and before leaving, she took a deep look at the magazine that was opened on the table. There was only one photo on it. bat shadow.

Of course she knew Wayne Greenberg, but what surprised her was that her husband also behaved abnormally because of pressure. You must know that over the years, as long as the new film is released, this Jewish old man has never had such a solemn face no matter what opponent he has encountered in the same period. Obviously, he feels tremendous pressure.

The media that have almost appeared in people's sight these days are all tirelessly singing praises to "The Dark Knight". The promotion of the movie is overwhelming. In this regard, it is obvious that Warner Bros. is better than Universal Pictures. many.

The result is also quite obvious. It took only two days for "The Dark Knight" to successfully take in 150 million US dollars from the North American theater market. When the box office figures were continuously reported by the media, the sensation became more and more intensified. Up, all of this shows that this time Steven Spielberg is very likely to fall into a big trouble.

Looking at the silent old man in the study again, the woman sighed slightly, preparing to close the door and go to rest first.

At this moment, the fax machine in the study rang, and the movement of the fax machine attracted the attention of two people at the same time. She knew that the other party had waited a whole night for the simple set of numbers on it.

"Huh, interesting..."

Different from the scene imagined by the woman, when Steven Spielberg picked up the fax and scanned it carefully, he smiled abnormally.

I don't know if it was an illusion. In her husband's whispers, not only did she not hear the pressure that should have appeared, but she felt the seemingly suppressed excitement, which was hard to understand. She also looked at the fax paper and whispered. Read:

"Thursday's advance show was 17.2 million US dollars. On the first day of the release on Friday, if the early-stage box office was not counted, the daily receipt was 67.16 million US dollars. $10,000, then The Dark Knight just ended the weekend, and the total box office has already reached…”

"$200 million! $200.81 million to be exact!" Steven Spielberg shook his head with a smile. This figure was not only higher than his own guess, but also higher than everyone in the circle. As for the predictions of professionals, I am afraid that no third-party forecasting agency would dare to give such outrageous predictions before the accurate box office release.

"$200 million at the box office in the first weekend?!"

Only then did the woman react, and she exclaimed in surprise. This number can be said to have broken all records related to the first weekend box office number. "The first day box office record in North America, the fastest box office exceeded 100 million, the fastest box office exceeded 150 million, the fastest box office exceeded 200 million, and the first weekend box office exceeded 200 million in three days! This kid is making history, Steven."

"Go to sleep."

Steven Spielberg stood up, afraid to pat his wife on the shoulder, with abnormal excitement on his face, ready to leave the study and return to the bedroom to rest. "Kate, since I started DreamWorks with David and Jeffrey, or maybe a little longer, I can't remember how long I haven't felt this pressure of anticipation, don't worry... ."

At this moment, in his heart, he is indeed dominated by excitement. Although it is not released on the same weekend, strictly speaking, the two sides are only released a week apart. He is very confident in his "Jurassic Park". Shouldn't it be exciting for two films of the same size to face each other head-on in a schedule that no one can disturb?

In recent years, although the personal relationship between the two is good, with Wayne's growing achievements, the media inevitably began to frequently compare the two together, especially when the other party won the Oscar statuette. , at least in terms of hard honors, the two sides are no different.

If time goes back 93 years, even if Wayne swept the world with "Joker" before Steven Spielberg, everyone would agree that Wayne was a movie genius, but no media would think that the two achieved the same level. status, but now the situation is markedly different.

So, although the personal relationship between the two is very good, when it comes to business, he really wants to collide with his young friend head-on.

Actually, it's no wonder that the media started to show the two of them for frequent comparisons. In fact, there are some similarities between the two. The birth of "Jurassic Park" in 1993 made fans around the world see the power of the Hollywood film industry, especially the realistic special effects, just like the Tyrannosaurus Rex was about to rush out of the big screen. The appearance of this film completely detonated the trend of Hollywood sci-fi special effects blockbusters.

The emergence of "The Clown" is another situation. A character that exists in the comics has set off a big discussion among countless people in the society. Many people have seen their own shadows in the character of the clown, and the film's The dynamism is simply unparalleled. It is precisely because of the great success of "Joker" that it completely opened the trend of Hollywood comics and superheroes.

In fact, the two can be said to be completely different in terms of their directing style and film type, but it is precisely these two people who are so different.

Meanwhile, it wasn't just Steven Spielberg who couldn't sleep waiting for the statistics. There was a burst of laughter in the brightly lit offices of the Warner Bros. Building in Burbank. Voice.

"Shit! What did Wayne do?! Ha Bruce, what did he do?!" Jeff Robinoff didn't wait for the secretary to leave, and his hands kept on Tossing a piece of printing paper, the excited expression on his face did not hide in the slightest. "200 million! Bruce, $200 million! He is creating his own history, DC's history, Warner Bros. history, the entire Hollywood history, and the entire North American film history! "

"f**k, 200 million! holys**t!"

The moment he heard this number, Bruce Rosenblum seemed to have all his strength taken away, and his upper body suddenly relaxed against the sofa. The smile at the corner of his mouth could no longer be suppressed. became invisible. "Damn, I'm going to call Wayne and tell him the news myself, **** it."

Seeing that he had picked up the mobile phone, Jeff Robinoff was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked back at the clock on the wall, yes, it was already early morning.

"Hey, Bruce, check the time." Seeing that the other party was about to make a call, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't forget, we are here in Los Angeles, and he should be sleeping right now."

"I don't believe he can sleep now."

After muttering, Bruce Rosenblum still stopped his movements and stuffed the mobile phone back into the briefcase.
