Chapter 486: 488

Back home, because of the worries about wonder woman and the development trend of the whole Hollywood film industry, it happened that the two Michaels in the neighborhood had been discussing coping strategies, and almost stayed up all night.

While Hollywood is paying close attention to wonder woman, the Simon people have already gone to Australia.

"Superman" recently officially began shooting, the location of the superhero film, still choose in Australia.

The difference is that Sydney is the main city of view this time.

Because of Denise Entertainment's connections in Australia, "Wonder Woman" has also been released simultaneously in Australia and North America. During this period, the film circle in Australia was quite lively.

After the premiere of wonder woman, I left on Friday, June 5 and arrived in Melbourne on Saturday afternoon, local time.

In order to take care of her children, Veronica no longer lives in a high-rise apartment in Melbourne city after quitting her job. Instead, she also bought a villa on the Yarra River, not far from Johnston's mansion and Simon's little nest in the suburbs.

Raymond Johnston loved this grandson very much, and specially arranged a room for the little guy in the mansion.

When Simon and his wife arrived, they saw a little guy in the baby room of the mansion for the first time.

Half year old Melbourne westrow is now able to do and climb. Compared with his ugly appearance when he was just born, his white and tender appearance makes people can't help hugging and kissing.

Janet picked up the baby at the first sight when she saw the "little annoying" she used to talk about. She was very affectionate. After Easter last time, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and the little guy doesn't recognize the birth at all. He cooperates with his mother very well, and has a tacit understanding.

After a moment of "interaction" between the mother and the son, Janet gives the baby to Simon.

The little guy inherited his mother's beautiful eyes and looked at the man in front of him. Maybe he thought he had seen him somewhere and didn't resist. He also raised his tender hand to Simon's collar. Hearing Simon's words like "do you want to miss Dad" and so on, naturally he would not answer them, but he also skillfully responded in two tones.

Veronica, whose temperament is much softer than before, is standing next to a family of three, watching Simon talking to the little guy. What he wants to say is still silent. She just looks at the situation with satisfaction in her eyes.

Play for a while, the little guy soon tired to sleep in the past.

The baby is still on the crib, guarded by the nanny, and the three leave the room together.

Some time before dinner, besides Raymond Johnston and his wife, Anthony Johnston also came with his family. They gathered in the living room of the mansion to discuss some recent events.

After the deregulation of foreign investment in the telecommunications industry in Australia last year, after more than a year's layout, the Internet access service of westrow system and the igritte portal have initially established themselves in this country.

Affected by Japan's economic recession, Australia's economy has entered a period of recession.

The rise of the emerging Internet industry has made the Australian government pay more attention to this field. Of course, there is also the result of the secret lobbying of the Westeros system and the Johnston family.

Just last month, the Australian Federal Parliament passed a bill to promote the development of the Internet industry. The Australian government plans to invest a $10 billion in infrastructure construction related to the Internet industry in the next five years. At the same time, the bill also formulated supporting measures in many aspects, such as talent, tax and so on.

Under Simon's covert operation, the information highway act of the United States has been put on the agenda of Congress ahead of time. However, it is at least next year to pass and implement it.

Europe, which has not yet put an end to the turmoil, has no mind to take care of this emerging field.

Therefore, Australia's bill on promoting the development of the Internet industry has become the first national policy document in related fields.

Due to the size of its own market, the scale of Australia's Internet industry is unlikely to be too large after all.

However, taking this step ahead of time and taking the lead in the Internet field can definitely bring unexpected benefits to this country.

In addition to the Internet field, Verizon's Australian branch has successfully started its mobile communication business in Australia. Although Nokia is temporarily unable to enter North America, it takes this opportunity to cooperate with Verizon's Australian branch to lay a technical foundation for entering the North American market in advance.

Finally, it's the film industry.

In the 1980s, Australia strongly supported the film industry, and George Miller's MAD MAX series came into being in this context.

However, this kind of policy support is far less than the promotion brought by a series of blockbuster movies shooting in Australia.

In the original time and space, just because of the Lord of the rings series, not only New Zealand has become the Middle Earth world that movie fans all over the world yearn for, but this small southern hemisphere country has also become one of the most famous film production bases in the world.

The situation in Australia is almost the same as that in New Zealand.In addition to "Wonder Woman" which can't be shot in Australia because of shooting, a series of projects of DC movie universe, "Batman: the moment of war", "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "lightning man" are all shot in Australia, including a lot of post work which is also directly completed here.

Driven by the DC movie universe series, Australia has rapidly formed a film industry chain base with Melbourne as the core. Coupled with Australia's generous tax rebate measures, other Hollywood studios are increasingly inclined to make films here.

Australia's Internet industry, mobile communication industry and film industry are booming, and a series of westrow companies have just occupied a pivotal position in these fields.

This is actually a kind of penetration.

The next goal of the westrow system is to catch up with the Johnston family and set foot in Australia's core mining resources.

Complete this layout, Simon will have a decisive influence on the country.

June is winter in the southern hemisphere, and cities such as Melbourne are not too cold.

The couple spent a weekend in Melbourne and went skiing in the nearby mountains on Sunday. On Monday, Simon went to Sydney's Superman crew to follow up the filming of the film.

The straight-line distance between Sydney and Melbourne is about 700 km. It's just a take-off and landing of private aircraft. Therefore, working in Sydney during the day, Simon will basically fly back to Melbourne at night.

At the same time, the box office data of wonder woman came from North America.

With the support of excellent word-of-mouth, "Wonder Woman" got $19.21 million at the box office on its first day of painting.

Then, three days after the first weekend, the box office figure of the superhero movie reached $61.39 million.

When Simon returned to North America after a week's work in Australia, the box office of "Wonder Woman" was officially released: 91.12 million US dollars!

Inspired by wonder woman, the total box office amount of North American Theaters in a single week from June 5 to June 11 reached 162.86 million US dollars.

However, more than half of the weekly box office share was cut by wonder woman. In the previous weeks, the box office of "lethal weapon 3", "nuns are crazy" and "big ambition" all fell by 30%.

Because the word-of-mouth is not as good as "lethal weapon 3" and "nuns are crazy", and the theme is not popular with the audience, Tom Cruise's "big ambition" started much lower than expected, and this week's decline was even worse, reaching 46%, compared with the first week's $15.62 million, and the next week's ticket room was only $8.39 million.

With a revenue of $24.01 million in two weeks, the box office in a single week has shrunk to more than $8 million. Even if the decline in the box office has eased, the total box office in North America of big ambition is expected to hardly exceed $50 million.

However, the total budget of Columbia Pictures for the production and publicity of this project is 90 million US dollars.

Even if the time cost is not taken into account, ambition needs to earn about $60 million at the box office in North America before it can recover all its investment through subsequent overseas distribution, video channels and TV platforms.

The box office in North America is less than US $50 million, which means that Columbia Pictures is hard to recover the total cost of US $90 million in the whole effective film distribution cycle of the film, which is as long as five to seven years.

From the lesson of great ambition, it is obvious that Hollywood will not be involved in similar subjects for a long time to come.

Tom Cruise's declining popularity has also been severely impacted by the failure of big ambition.

Next, the Hollywood actor can only return to the low budget field.

It's true that low budget movies can be big and small. However, less than one tenth of Hollywood's hundreds of low budget movies can be big and small every year.

Moreover, according to the Convention, cruise can only fail twice at most.

If the follow-up two consecutive films do not sell well, the other party's popularity will drop.

DC movie universe has released three movies, Batman: the moment of war, which grossed $82.39 million in the first week; Batman: The Dark Knight, which grossed $102.07 million in the first week; and flash, which grossed $72.86 million in the first week.

"Wonder Woman" was second only to "Batman: The Dark Knight" in the first week of the four films.

Moreover, "Batman: The Dark Knight" obviously has the popularity bonus of the sequel. If we don't consider this factor and only calculate the first song, "Wonder Woman" is undoubtedly the highest among the three films "Batman: the moment of war" and "lightning man".

As a DC movie universe project, which is not expected to be a heroine superhero movie in advance, the results of the first week of wonder woman really surprised many people.

In the original agreement, "Wonder Woman" was jointly invested by Denise and Warner Brothers, and Denise was responsible for the distribution.Even with half the investment in the film, Terry Semel complained half truely about Simon's bias in a phone call with him.

The box office of wonder woman will break through 90 million US dollars in the first week, and the total box office in North America will break through 300 million US dollars, which is almost certain.

In the first three series, although the box office of "flash" in North America has reached 250 million US dollars, it is obviously the lowest in both the opening and the expected box office.

Compared with Superman, who just started shooting and went to Australia to take charge, Simon was "indifferent" to the original flash.

Moreover, the comparison between "flash" and "Wonder Woman" is not only the box office, but also the sales of peripheral products of the two projects.

With the release of wonder woman, the original album, which was released in one week, was sold because of Diana Prince's own background music. 870000 copies were sold in seven days. It is expected that the total sales in the future will exceed 10 million.

The movie's role dolls and wonder woman's weapons and props are also sold far more than the original "flash.".

Among them, the limited edition full set of 10000 Amazon female soldiers was sold out within a week, although the price was as high as $1000. Only this one brought in $10 million.

Is Simon partial?

Of course.

At the beginning, Simon hoped to exchange half of the investment rights of Superman for half of the investment rights of flash and steel. This is actually a very cost-effective business, but Simon's proposal was eventually rejected by Warner.

In order to maintain the unity of DC movie universe, Simon still accepted the two superheroes. As a producer with a strong voice, Simon has actually invested enough energy in these two projects.

However, it is not realistic for him to treat "lightning man" and "steel bone" as attentively as "Batman", "Wonder Woman" and "Superman".

After the first week, on June 12, North American Theaters re launched two new films, namely, Warner Bros.'s "brother in need" and Columbia Pictures' Samsung's "warrior again.".

"Brother and brother" is a comedy, and "remaking the warrior" is an action movie starring two male stars, Duff longel and Shanger Winton.

However, only from the perspective of the scale of the opening painting, the two films are basically cannon fodder left behind wonder woman. The number of opening screens for brother and brother is only 1140, and the number of opening screens for warrior is only 1281. The scale of the two films is not as large as wonder woman.

Warner Bros. and Columbia probably didn't want to give up this summer program, and they didn't have confidence in these two films, so they chose this distribution strategy.

However, under the crushing popularity of wonder woman, the two films, which were used as cannon fodder, failed to splash after the release.

At the end of the second week, the box office of wonder woman fell only 25% and received another $68.39 million.

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of the superhero blockbuster has reached 159.51 million US dollars, directly surpassing all the films released in 1992 and ranking first in the annual box office list.
