Chapter 1652

Simon stayed in South Korea for two days and didn't leave until the morning of June 15 to fly back to North America.

Arriving in Los Angeles, due to the time difference, it is still the morning of June 15.

It's Thursday.

After leaving for more than half a month, the country remains the same.

Of course, Janet can't help complaining about being too reckless. Barbara and Simon followed good advice and began working nine to five for a period of time.

In fact, Simon spent most of these years in Los Angeles, but his plain family life often seemed like water gurgling, as if it would flow quietly in the blink of an eye.

Now that I'm back, I'll first pay attention to the summer file that has already been opened.

Among the films that hit the front stop in May, it is worth mentioning that hurricane Rescue 2 Starring Jett Lee. This action film, which opened as the opening of danilis's summer file in 2000, opened on May 19 with its first accumulated popularity and good reputation as a sequel, and successfully won $45.36 million at the box office in the first week.

Then, in the critical next week, the decline of the film was controlled to a good 37%, and then closed $28.61 million, with a cumulative box office of $73.97 million, basically locking in another 100 million yuan box office Club film of danilis in 2000.

The day after Simon returned to Los Angeles, the box office data of Hurricane Rescue 2 for the fourth week of release was also announced, with another $7.98 million. Taking into account the $14.01 million in the previous third week, the cumulative box office has reached $95.96 million.

In the following five weeks from June 16 to June 23, with an income of US $5.16 million, the hurricane rescue successfully broke us $200 million, totaling US $101.12 million.

Considering the follow-up box office potential, the total box office volume of the film in North America is expected to be about US $110 million. Although it is not as big as those super heavyweights such as DC film universe projects, the achievement of breaking US $100 million in North America has successfully pushed Jett Lee to the position of a first-line male star in Hollywood.

Another Chinese superstar was born. When the news spread back to the other side of the ocean, it was inevitable that it would be lively.

Of course, as for the fact that jetty Lee has quietly become an American, no one will be disappointed to mention it. Anyway, it is the pride of Chinese people.

In June, another thing to say is the new Pixar 3D animation film Nemo, which opened on June 1.

In other words, the Friday of that week is June 2, one day ahead of schedule. Naturally, it is to catch up with children's day. After all, Pixar's animated films are more friendly to children although they are for all ages.

Then, the schedule at the beginning of June is often the heaviest project of danilis in the summer. Simon pushed an animated film of NEMO to this position this year, rather than a live action blockbuster. Although it is understandable with the historical achievements of Pixar Animation, it is always confusing.

Only Simon knows that if we only talk about the box office, Nemo can be described as the most successful animated film of Pixar in history, with a global box office of nearly $1 billion.

Of course, it is only limited to the box office.

Compared with the huge surrounding income of toy story and racing story, the former underwater story seems a little embarrassed. When this film is released, the hottest surrounding is the clownfish in the film.

Live like that.

At least it will be difficult for issuers to distribute goods globally.

This time, it's the same.

Fortunately, the box office of this film still didn't disappoint Simon. The painting opened on June 1. In the first eight days of the first week, the animated film that inherited Pixar's excellent reputation as always quickly made a box office of US $107.22 million, becoming the first film in 2000. Although it was one more day in the first week, it finally achieved a rare achievement of breaking the hundred million. After all, taking danilis's own hurricane Rescue 2 as an example, the total box office of the mainland is probably so much.

After the high opening in the first week, followed by the excellent 32% decline in the next week, the huge revenue of US $72.91 million still indicates that the film's local box office in North America will easily break through the US $300 million mark. Although 400 million depends on fate, it is not too difficult to rush to US $350 million.

When Simon saw the data, he inevitably compared it because he had just returned from South Korea.

Nemo has achieved synchronization in South Korea. They all start painting on June 1, while my savage girlfriend over there is a serious Friday file on June 2.

The total number of people watching this cartoon in South Korea is far less than 690000, but my girlfriend is expected to watch it for more than 5 million times this week

Well, it's too bullying. Forget it.

Then there is another one in the summer file '2' series, song and dance youth 2.

After the success of the first song, after two years, song and dance youth 2 returned. With the heroine Christina Aguilera becoming more and more popular in her singing career, the film has been widely expected by countless young fans in the publicity stage.

After the early premiere, the word of mouth was released, and the film critics also gave an excellent media score of up to 8.1 points.

Finally, the painting was opened on June 16 and 2763 screens were screened. In the first seven days of the first week, this youth song and dance film with a very accurate audience quickly won $5361 at the box office, an increase of 31% compared with the 41.09 million in the first seven days of painting. It is expected that the total box office will go to a higher level, conservatively estimated at $150 million. Combined with the data feedback outside Shanghai, the global volume will be locked at $300 million.

Although the budget for the sequel doubled to $30 million compared to the $15 million production cost of the first song, the global box office volume of 300 million can still bring huge profits to danilis only in the cinema stage.

Plain days always pass quickly, and in the twinkling of an eye, it comes to June 23.

Another Friday.

Simon only worked overtime for less than an hour today. He finished his week's work and came home at six o'clock in the evening.

After dinner with the family and watching TV for a while, Simon didn't leave until about 9 o'clock.

The evening is a party as usual.

The location is still in the mansion halfway up the palisade. It is officially hosted by danilis, mainly to celebrate the success of a series of recent films. The creators of a series of films such as Nemo, hurricane Rescue 2 and song and dance youth 2 were invited.

Of course, others can come if they can get the invitation.

Simon returned to Los Angeles last week and hasn't been out much. Today is his first time.

After arriving at the party, the excitement here has lasted for more than two hours. It is probably certain that Simon will appear. Many guests who often leave early after completing their communication goals at the party did not leave early tonight, and the scene is still bustling.

Simon greeted Amy Pascal, who was informed to welcome him first, and then went to the seabed mobilization crew to congratulate John Lasseter and others, and turned to the main creator of Hurricane Rescue 2.

While chatting, the little Christina Aguilera had come together and made a small tentative greeting. Seeing that the man had no objection, she boldly took the man's arm and socialized together.
