On December 18, when the first week of Christmas opened, the box office of the past week was officially released.

From December 11 to December 17, the box office champion of one week was still won by "kid in charge 2", which continued to earn $12.39 million in the fourth week.

The sequel to the phenomenal children's comedy has grossed $121.76 million in the past month.

Considering that the box office base in a single week is still more than US $10 million, "home 2" will at least earn no less than US $5000 in the future, and the total box office in North America is expected to be between us $170 million and US $200 million.

Without Jurassic Park, kid at home 2 would have been the hottest movie across Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

However, this can only be if.

When the potential dispute between Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group over the DC movie universe was rapidly fermenting in the media, the box office data of Jurassic Park also began to attract attention.

On December 18, in addition to Jurassic Park, there was another North American fantasy comedy toy starring Robin Williams, with a screen size of 1272. The film tells the story of two heirs of a toy factory who use toys to compete for control.

Compared with the 9.3 comprehensive media score of Jurassic Park after the premiere, Robin Williams's new film's reputation can only be described as appalling, with a poor 3.2 comprehensive media score.

In a high-end apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan.

Since his speech at the meeting on Wednesday was exposed, Gerald Levin has been in a certain state of anxiety. The grand viewing of Jurassic Park since its opening yesterday has added a bit of anxiety to Levin's mind.

It's no surprise that Steve Ross will not survive this Christmas. If he had known that, he would not have been eager to seize power.

It's a pity that things have happened and it's too late to regret.

Now we can only hope that there will be no accident in the power transfer process of Time Warner.

Moreover, the biggest variable is a young man.

Gerald Levin, of course, knows the importance of DC movie universe to Time Warner. The speech at the last meeting is just a kind of language strategy to crush Ross' influence. At least, he doesn't really have the heart to renegotiate with Denise entertainment. Once DC movie universe plan is destroyed, even if he has successfully become the CEO of Time Warner, he will be very happy He could be ousted.

I just didn't expect that someone would directly expose it.

Gerald Levin was almost certain that Terry Semel had done it.

However, it is impossible for him to attack the other party.

First of all, he really said what was exposed in the media. Even if he was misinterpreted to some extent, most of the facts could not be refuted.

Second, there is no evidence. Even if the other party breaks the rules and lacks evidence, he can't do anything with Terry Semel.

Denise entertainment didn't seem to react so strongly to the incident, but Gerald Levin was still upset.

The key is the silence of the young man.

Even though Simon westrow was called a kid at the meeting on Wednesday, he knew what it meant to be a kid with a fortune of 65 billion dollars.

Gerald Levin even remembers the original "bodyguard" original record event, so he understands that the young man who always seems to give people a lack of aggressive feeling, often once launched, will leave no room.

It's hard to say what will happen if the other side gets involved in the power dispute within Time Warner because of his speech at the meeting on Wednesday.

Steve Roth's long-term position as the leader of Time Warner depends largely on the support of a large number of Hollywood's top filmmakers. In the most difficult years of Warner Bros. in the 1980s, the board of directors also launched an action to oust him. The result is Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Barbara Streisand so on A large number of Hollywood bigwigs voiced their support for rose in the media, which eventually led to the dismissal action.

Simon westero's influence in Hollywood at this time is far more than Spielberg and others.

Moreover, Denise entertainment has a close relationship with Time Warner Group because of the cooperation in DC movie universe and other projects.

Even though Levin has been recognized by most people as the successor of Time Warner's chairman, the company is not without competitors. Although Terry Semel and Robert Daley are slightly less qualified than him, if someone supports them, they will pass the Time Warner's chairman position.

Over the past few days, Levin wants to take the initiative to find out each other's thoughts, but he can't let go of his reserve and pride as a senior executive of a media group.

Unconsciously, it was a sleepless night.

Around four o'clock in the morning, the phone rings and Levin sits up on the big bed and picks up the phone.Ignoring his wife's dissatisfied murmur, Levin said a few words to the opposite side, got out of bed, went to the study, turned on the computer, and logged into the igritte portal.

The bold headlines on the website are very eye-catching, even dazzling.

"Jurassic Park broke Spielberg's box office record with $21.76 million on its first day."

Instead of clicking on the detailed news page, Gerald Levin felt bitter.

The first day is $21.76 million, so the box office of the first weekend should be about $60 million in three days, and $90 million in seven days of the first week.

Ninety million dollars.

Three years ago, Spielberg's "Raiders 3" grossed just over $46 million in its first week.

Jurassic Park's box office in the first week reached 90 million US dollars, which has fully reached the sales level of DC movie universe project.

At the meeting on Wednesday, Levin proposed to renegotiate with Denise entertainment because Denise entertainment is also very dependent on the DC movie universe and can't easily turn over.

Now, a Jurassic Park has directly overturned his argument.

What's more, unlike the DC movie universe shared by both sides, "Jurassic Park" is completely a project owned by danielis entertainment, and the profits belong to each other. In other words, a box office volume of Jurassic Park, which is equivalent to the DC movie universe, actually brings the same revenue to Denise entertainment as two DC movie universe projects.

Gerald Levin also knows that from the beginning, danielis Entertainment's plan for Jurassic Park was a trilogy.

If we say that danilisi entertainment, which has been occupying a large number of places on the annual box office list in recent years, has less dependence on the DC movie universe than Time Warner Group.

With Jurassic Park, the next question is whether Denise entertainment wants to renegotiate in order to share more benefits from the DC movie universe plan.

Sitting in front of the computer for a moment, Gerald Levin finally picked up the phone and asked his assistant to arrange a call with Simon westero.

Simon is in Melbourne, but he has been paying attention to the "bustling" scenes in North America in recent days.

After Gerald Levin's remarks at the internal meeting were exposed, Simon soon received a call from Terry Semel, who sincerely said that as long as he can continue to take charge of Warner Bros., DC film universe plan will never change.

Then, when the first day of Jurassic Park box office came out, Levin also called.

Simon's attitude towards this is more just a cold shoulder.

As a man of two generations, he can't see through the twists and turns.

Although it is very hopeful that Gerald Levin's plan to take over Rose's post will be scuttled if his existing influence is mobilized, Simon can't think of any reason to do so.

Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group are competitors in the same media industry after all.

As long as you have a little brain, you should understand that it is much better for a competitor to maintain an unstable state of internal fighting for a long time than an enemy with one mind.

Therefore, although Denise entertainment is very strong in the media and does not mean to give in at all, in private, Simon's instructions to Amy Pascal are very simple: just watch the fun.

On Sunday, December 20, another news came.

Steve Ross died on the night of December 20 at East Hampton estate, aged 65. The media tycoon of his time with Rupert Murdoch and Sam leishidong lost to time to a large extent.

North American media were full of news about rose's death, and a large number of Hollywood filmmakers expressed their mourning.

Simon did not return to North America to see each other for the last time before Rose died. Although the relationship between the two sides is good, it has not reached that level. However, Simon also accepted the invitation of the rose family and planned to attend their funeral on December 27 a week later.

For this reason, the time of returning to North America can only be advanced, and the new year cannot be spent in Melbourne.

Time Warner Group, while mourning the death of rose, did not immediately announce his successor.

Obviously, the internal power game is still going on.

The end of the year schedule in North America will not be greatly affected by the death of a media tycoon.

After $21.76 million on the first day, Jurassic Park continued to take off, reaching $60.31 million on the three days of the first weekend.

Finally, when the first week's screening ended, this prehistoric monster movie, which brought a strong visual shock to the audience, grossed an amazing $91.38 million in seven days.

Even though Denise entertainment has been used to the box office miracle in recent years, most of the media are still amazed at the box office of Jurassic Park in the first week.At the same time, the remarks of Gerald Levin at Warner's internal meeting were once again hyped by some media with ulterior motives.

The first week was 91.38 million US dollars, which almost ensured the domestic box office of Jurassic Park starting with 300 million US dollars in North America.

With the theme of this dinosaur movie, the overseas box office will not be too bad.

In addition, with the "Jurassic Park" box office boom, the film's surrounding sales are also booming. About the development of peripheral products of Jurassic Park, this is directly shown in the shot of peripheral stores in the film. Moreover, a large number of dinosaur characters in the film are also very suitable for the development of surrounding areas.

Although there is no official data of danielis entertainment, many media have confirmed that the project "Jurassic Park" is expected to bring benefits to danielis entertainment no less than a DC movie universe blockbuster.

To be more accurate, DC movie universe projects are often the cooperation between Denise and Time Warner, and they need to share profits. For Denise entertainment, the revenue of Jurassic Park may even be equivalent to the revenue of two DC movie universe films.

In this case, Denise entertainment seems to be more inclined to the development of Jurassic Park, even if it is worth suppressing the DC movie universe.

Not only that, when "Jurassic Park" first weekend box office, Denise entertainment executives have revealed the sequel development plan.

This phenomenal dinosaur movie is a trilogy from the beginning.

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, the film's heroine Renee Russell also proved that what she signed was a trilogy contract, and revealed some more interesting stories for fans. If DC movie universe is the same, Simon westero has planned the plot of the trilogy from the beginning.

Although Steven Spielberg later said in the media that his next work focus is to try his best to complete the "Schindler's list" project, and he doesn't seem to be so interested in directing the sequel of Jurassic Park. However, with Simon westero's own background, no one will doubt that the Jurassic Park series will be impossible without Spielberg For the future.

Even, some media criticized Jurassic Park as not so perfect. The plot of the film is too routine, and relying on a little girl's scream to promote the plot is too stiff. If Spielberg gave up directing, the sequel would have been better if Simon westero had taken the helm.

For traditional Hollywood film companies, a big selling trilogy is often enough to last ten years. Just like Paramount's "Raiders" series in the 1980s, Universal's "back to the future" series and Columbia Pictures' "ghost hunters" series.

Jurassic Park, a local box office project that started with 300 million yuan, not to mention three. Even this one, through the whole set of operations of global box office, video sales, TV broadcasting and peripheral development, is enough for a big film company to survive for five years.

Relying on such a blockbuster and the fact that Denise entertainment has occupied a large number of places on the box office list in recent years, the question now is whether Denise and Time Warner should renegotiate the distribution of interests in the DC movie universe.
