Chapter 1094: 1100

Simon returned to Los Angeles and got back to work. During this period, one of the most eye-catching things in Hollywood is undoubtedly the re screening of the Star Wars series.

In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Star Wars series and warm up the upcoming Star Wars prequel series, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace reopened in North America on January 30 with 2104 screens. The status of Star Wars Series in the United States is just like that of China's journey to the West. This replay can be described as "echoing".

From January 31 to February 6, seven days after the first week of re screening, "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" easily won US $45.49 million at the box office. The box office momentum of the unpopular end of January is no less than that of a blockbuster in the popular schedule, which shows the strong appeal of Star Wars IP.

Under the impact of the re screening of Star Wars series, a series of old films scheduled at the end of last year, except for "the catcher of the soul", "the British patient" and a few other award season films with spare power, entered the closing stage.

In the same week's list, following Star Wars, the box office of "baby thunderbolt", which ranked second at the box office, dropped from $12.49 million last week to within the range of $10 million in the seventh week, earning $7.11 million. In seven weeks, the total box office was 232.81 million.

The third place is mind catcher.

In the ninth week of the show, psychic catcher continued to earn US $6.69 million with a 25% weekly drop, with a total box office of US $133.78 million.

It seems that the box office of "baby thunderbolt" is still higher than that of "mind catcher" in a single week, but it is not difficult to notice the decline. Under the impact of "Star Wars: the threat of the phantom", the box office of "baby thunderbolt" dropped by 43% in the seventh week, while the box office of "mind catcher" dropped by only 25%, which is much more stable than "baby thunderbolt", and it is no problem for Oscar.

The game of the brave, which came in fourth and fifth, was almost tied with the British patient, earning $5.03 million and $5.01 million respectively. However, the state of the two films is similar to that of "Thunderbolt baby" and "mind catcher".

The game of the brave, which was released in the eighth week, took a 39% weekly drop and grossed $194.09 million.

In the same eighth week, the British patient earned $5.01 million with a 19% decline over the same period, with a cumulative box office of $36.37 million.

In addition to the top five, last year's "wonder woman 2", which was released on the Thanksgiving show, was a complete ending.

In the 11th week of its release, "wonder woman 2" gradually reduced to 565 screens, earning another $1.63 million and grossing $415.09 million. With Denise entertainment further reducing the canvas of "wonder woman 2" in order to launch a new film on February 7, the follow-up box office of the film will shrink sharply again? It is expected that the follow-up revenue will be up to $2 million? The total domestic box office will stay at around $417 million.

After the first week of star wars, Denise entertainment also started its 1996 film business.

February 7, a new box office week? In January, two big smokes and follow, which were popular at the Sundance Film Festival, were released at the same time.

Britain and the United States started painting at the same time.

Simon initially hoped that "two big smokers" and another more phenomenal "six heroes of the light pig" which once made far more achievements in the UK box office than in North America would first start painting in the UK and accumulate popularity before moving to North America. However, after seeing the package marketing plan for British films in February proposed by the company's publicity team, Simon resolutely approved the new strategy.

The main reason is that this strategy does not include the phenomenal film "the six heroes of the pig". As for "two big smokers", the box office in the UK in my memory is 28 million pounds. There is no doubt about its success, but it is far less than the 160 million pounds of "the six heroes of the pig", which broke the historical box office record in the UK. Therefore, even if there are some deviations, it does not matter the overall situation.

In addition, the packaging strategy of this release is not only "two big smokes" and "follow", but also "BJ's single diary", which is scheduled to open on Valentine's day on February 14, is the top priority.

Although the heroine of the new version of BJ's single diary is Julia Roberts, a typical American girl, the film is from Britain from behind the scenes to the content of the story. It's not too unreasonable to say that it's a British film.

Let's talk about two big guns and follow.

The first two low-cost feature films are widely recognized in the mass media of Britain and the United States. Moreover, according to Simon's proposal, not only Nolan's "follow" and Guy Ritchie's "two big smokes" are also labeled as "brain burning". After all, the narrative technique of this film is far more complicated than other similar projects in recent years, and it can be called brain burning.

With the general praise of the media and the curiosity of the audience aroused by the brain burning label, the two films have successfully captured considerable public attention in front of the emotional remake of Star Wars.

From February 7 to February 13, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace premiered again. The next week, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was still as high as $26.35 million. Two big smokes and follow, which started with 763 and 712 of the same scale, respectively, won $5.41 million and $4.65 million at the box office.It seems that the box office data of the two paintings are not much, but only in one week, the box office revenue of the two paintings directly exceeds their production costs.

Not only that, the average price of "two big smokes" and "follow" reached $7092 and $6530, respectively. In February, there were less than 1000 screening screens in the cool and cool period, so they were basically big sellers. At the same time, the two films also followed Star Wars: the threat of the phantom, the catcher of the soul and the baby of thunderbolt into the top five of the box office list, ranking fourth and fifth respectively.

Then, during the premiere of BJ's diary at the China Grand Theater in Hollywood on February 12, the creators of two big smokers and follow attended together. With the help of danielis entertainment, the three films were formally tied up, making the popularity of the two films rise again after the opening ceremony.

With the popularity at this time and the lack of strong rivals in the market recently, it is expected that the two films can easily be shown to Easter at the end of March, and the box office in North America can easily reach the $20 million to $30 million range expected by Denise entertainment, or even break through $30 million.

Considering that the two films are only two or three million dollars of low investment, only the North American domestic box office returns of ten times the level, plus the income from Shanghai, the profit level of the two projects is no less than some blockbusters with mediocre market performance.

February 14, Valentine's day.

As the first major film of danielis entertainment in 1996, BJ's single diary was painted on a large scale with 2513 screens in North America.

The same praise.

After the word-of-mouth ban was lifted on the second day of the premiere ceremony, the comprehensive media score of the film quickly reached an excellent score of 8.3.

BJ's single diary, commented by variety magazine, is another smart, unusual and delicate love movie after when Harry meets Sally and four weddings and a funeral.

Julia Roberts gained 30 pounds on her own initiative, and her performance, which can be called "self destructing image", was also recognized by the media.

The New York Times commented that Julia's weight gain not only did not hide her charm, but also made her more attractive. The famous film critic Roger Albert also praised Julia's breakthrough in image and acting in the Chicago Sun.

Although there are Warner's old comedian Chevy Chase's "Vegas Vacation" and Paramount's "friends" actor Matthew Perry and Mexican actress Salma Hayek's "silly love comes true" on Valentine's day schedule, they will even be re released under the bombardment of the bundling distribution strategy pushed together by Denise Entertainment's three films "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" has been covered up, and the other two new films are even more concerned.

On the other hand, after the re launch of star wars and Denise Entertainment's packaging marketing strategy to stimulate the market again, the industry generally predicts that, just in the Valentine's Day box office week that starts on February 14, the total box office in North America will reach 100 million yuan once again, most of which will be divided up by the most popular films.

The subsequent facts also proved this.

In recent years, Julia Roberts has not lost much of her box office appeal even though she has been captured by the rapid rise of blockbuster movies. With an excellent story, the market potential of this Hollywood actress, who is not an American sweetheart but an American sweetheart, has been stimulated again.

Just in the first weekend, BJ's single diary successfully won the box office of 26.29 million US dollars, and easily reached the sales level of more than 10000 in three days.

Then, from February 14 to February 20, the first week box office of BJ's single diary finally reached US $37.62 million, and the seven day pavilion was close to US $15000. For this film, which also takes the initiative to walk out of a stable long-term line before the Easter schedule, this is a very outstanding opening performance.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, which ranked second, was expected to even have a reverse decline this week. Impacted by several new films such as BJ's single diary, the reverse decline did not materialize. Instead, the box office fell by 22% in a single week, earning $20.61 million.

Warner Bros.'s Vegas Holiday 'came in third, but the box office of its first week was just $11.76 million. 2054 open screen, equivalent to the museum barely broke through $5000, you can imagine, after Valentine's Day box office week, the film will be quickly eliminated.

Fourth place Paramount's "silly love comes true" is almost in the same situation, with 1674 open screens and only $9.13 million in the first week.

Under the impact of three new films, Guy Ritchie's "two big guns" successfully held the fifth place.

In the second week of release, due to the success of the first week, Denise entertainment increased the number of screens of "two big guns" and "follow" to more than 1000. Coupled with the hot schedule of Valentine's day, "two big guns" had a total of 1076 screens in the next week, with a negative income of $7.53 million and a negative drop of 39% at the box office.

Although Nolan's "follow" was squeezed out of the top five, with the scale of 1029 screens increased, it still managed to hold the sixth place on the list, earning US $6.21 million, also realizing a 33% reverse decline.Although this week is quite special, danielis entertainment has raised the domestic box office expectations of "two big guns" and "follow" to more than $30 million at the same time.

As for the total box office of "two big guns" is definitely higher than "follow", no one is surprised. After all, "follow" is a real brain burn. If you don't watch the movie carefully, you may not understand it. In the end, it lacks some interest. However, the story and interest of "two big smokers" are stronger. Even if the audience can't understand all the clues, just a group of geeks' wonderful performances, they can also get a rich experience of watching the movie.

After returning from China, it was Valentine's day on February 14 and Simon's 29th birthday on February 22. Simon stayed in Los Angeles for two consecutive weeks.

Until February 24.

At the end of the month.

At the same time, it was the beginning of a new week. Simon finally left Los Angeles again and set off for the east coast.

The previous Friday, the day before Simon's birthday, continued to persist for more than half a month. Facing the NASDAQ index, which rose by more than 5% in three weeks, and further rose to the high of 6700 points, the Tiger Fund, which suffered an overall loss of nearly 80%, officially declared liquidation. More than three months ago, the Tiger Fund, with a scale of 12 billion US dollars, cleared all short positions, leaving only 2.8 billion US dollars.

After issuing a letter of public apology to investors, Julian Robertson, the founder of the Tiger Fund, said that he would complete the final redemption of the remaining funds, close the Tiger Fund, disband the team, and would not set foot in the hedging field in the near future.

It can be said that he is disheartened.

As a leading hedge fund in recent years, the liquidation of Tiger Fund has shocked the whole industry.

However, in addition to a large number of investors who have suffered direct losses, capital hedging has attracted more and more attention from all parties. After all, it is a zero sum game. The other side of Tiger Fund's loss of nearly 10 billion is that in recent months, some people have made nearly 10 billion US dollars from it.

Although it is not easy to find out who made the money, it is enough to make too many people flock to it.

Simon has been reducing the size of cersei capital's direct hedging department, betting on Soros's funds, and targeting Southeast Asia. As a result, cersei capital has not made much profit in the feast of dividing up the Tiger Fund. Cersei fund management company, which has been standing on the opposite side of the Tiger Fund since the end of last year's election, has only made a cumulative profit of US $1.2 billion because of its conservative position strategy in more than three months.

As a result, most of the losses of tiger funds fall into the hands of other hedge capital.

Simon is not sorry about that.

Even Simon himself thought that the turn of the Nasdaq was likely to take place in December last year or around January this year, and the long profits he should have made were enough last year. Simon also kept in mind the business principle of not making the last cent. After all, if it continues, maybe the NASDAQ will swallow up more than half of the profits accumulated for several months just because of a one-day slump.

Falling into the bag is for safety.

No matter what areas of investment, the biggest mistake of too many people is that they can't put it down when it's time to stop, and they can't give it up when it's time to put it down. Occasionally, they have to laugh at those who have enough other choices, and as a result, they seem to miss more profits.

In the end, these people tend to pull water from the basket.

In addition to the disastrous defeat of the Tiger Fund, Richard Mellon Schiff of the Mellon family left the market when the principal of 300 million US dollars was less than 40 million. On this trip to the west coast, in addition to visiting pregnant women as usual, Simon has to make some follow-up arrangements for the Mellon family.
