292-100 million in one week
Wayne did not have any abnormal emotions except holding the remaining golden retriever and giving it hair.
He didn't wait for Hela to greet him during dinner, but he went downstairs to have a meal and returned to the bedroom. Now he has been in Hollywood for several years, and has accumulated a lot of his own status, power and money. Even if he is willful occasionally, it is not a big deal.
Compared with the weird things done by the strange stars in the circle, he is definitely not out of line, he is just preparing to miss the remaining publicity activities.
After a brief afternoon observation, Wayne found several deep claws and tooth marks on the recliner. He speculated that this was Fendy's last effort to awaken Patton.
This feeling was very strange. His mind was very clear, but his heart became empty. He didn't want to think about the slightest work, but just looked at the prosperous Beverly, the city that never sleeps.
Before dinner, Nina notified Warner Bros. Then Warner Bros. reacted quickly. They did not ask Wayne about his specific thoughts. They immediately apologized to the reporter who was pushed down through their media and contacted the other party.
Warner Bros.'s public relations department has very simple and direct methods to deal with this matter. While using its huge media resources to try to suppress its influence, it hopes to give the young reporter some compensation.
Now the screening of "Batman: The Moment of War" is at its hottest time. The box office numbers are increasing sharply every day, and sales around the movie are creating miracles. They do not want such trivial things to be used by those who are interested, which will affect the fans' subsequent choices.
Although Warner Bros. was quick and the bigger authoritative media were greeted by them, negative news inevitably appeared in the newspaper the next day.
"Wayne Greenberg's airport hits people. Is it important to be a dog or a human? Is this a free America?"
Since the morning of work, Townsend Rossman fell silent when he looked at the title. He did not rush to read it down. At most, this matter was gossip tabloids and second-stream media's eye-catching hype. Except for these newspapers, those authoritative media did not mention this matter.
What he has been thinking now is whether to launch the media and TV stations of Twentieth Century Fox to follow up on the hype and increase the box office of some movies by smearing Wayne.
Even his thoughts were instantly in mind that he had the idea of using his parent company News Corp. Through News Corp's huge media channels, he completely hyped up this matter, giving Wayne the hat of disrespectful human rights.
But he sighed softly and gave up on the idea.
His relationship with Greenberg Sr. Even if he ignores this, and the box office of Die Hard 3 is almost impossible to overwhelm Batman, and there is no hope for him to see.
The film now has only more than 22 million US dollars on the first weekend, which is in an awkward position. According to the analysis given by the marketing department, if there is no greater squeeze later, "Die Hard 3" may still recover the cost through box office after a long period of screening and overseas box office revenue.
The reason why summer vacation is the best time is because the base of fans is too large. Some people always like the taste of this film and are willing to spend money to buy tickets to watch the movie.
"Then I can only change the plan..."
Townsend Rossman threw the newspaper on the desk, got up and walked to the window, holding his shoulders and looking out the window.
If this happens before the film is released, it goes without saying that he will definitely mobilize all resources to discredit Wayne by reason, even if it can affect the choices of some movie fans, it will be worth it.
But now the first weekend has passed and everything has almost been settled. The follow-up trends of these two films are almost impossible to change too much. It is a bit unworthy to fight Warner Bros.
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked back to his desk, finally glanced at the several gossip tabloids on the table, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of Jeff Robinoff's office.
That's right, since the competition with "Batman: The Moment of War" can't be changed, he is now preparing to maintain the current screening scale and join forces with Warner Bros. to squeeze the upcoming "Brave Heart".
After he hung up the phone, he showed an ugly smile. As agreed, he called AMC, Imperial Cinema and North American Artist Cinema chain and other companies one by one.
Wayne suddenly disappeared from the propaganda team, although it attracted many speculations from movie fans, as the film's screening became longer and longer, everyone naturally focused on the male lead Christian Bale.
The first thing movie fans pay attention to is always glamorous big stars. Even if some gossip tabloids reported the news that Wayne beats people, they did not reduce their enthusiasm for watching movies. In addition to white-collar workers who have resumed work on weekdays, teenagers on summer vacations are still pouring into the theaters.
Feelings are very useful at all times. Even if these teenagers may not understand it, they hope from the bottom of their hearts that they can see comic characters who have been with them since childhood appear on the big screen.
Mr. Bruce Wayne has enough fame, and the super powers he has are closest to ordinary people. Batman is not like Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and other characters. His super powers are very simple, straightforward and rough. To sum up, that is, "rich!" "very rich!"
This is also one of the characteristics that attract young people. After all, who has never imagined becoming a rich man like Mr. Bruce Wayne?
Monday just passed, and early on Tuesday morning, Mel Gibson hurried into Paramount, almost entering the office with Shirley Lansing.
"Brave Heart" is about to premiere on Thursday, but at this critical moment, a lot of bad news suddenly appeared, which made the Australian superstar very annoyed.
"Sherley, have you read the newspaper this morning?"
After taking the coffee brought by her secretary, Mel Gibson couldn't wait to say: "I don't know what happened, but there are negative news about "Brave Heart" in many media, which is almost a tone of public opinion, guiding movie fans to refuse to choose this movie. Frequently naming this is not a story of North Americans, nor does it happen on this land. What does this mean?"
As an insider who has been in Hollywood for many years, Mel Gibson knows the other party's sinister intentions too well.
Perhaps those who are a little more sober understand that although this is the world's number one movie market and the world's number one movie ticket store, the xenophobic level of movie fans here is definitely ranked first in the world.
If the media had not deliberately hyped this topic, the special feelings for the British Empire in this land should not have affected the choice of movie fans, and everyone would have ignored this point.
But what he didn't want to see suddenly happened. "It's Warner Bros. media, I suspect that 20th Century Fox also took action! Townsend Rossman, the old fox, saw that the momentum was not good, immediately changed his attitude, shit!"
Shirley Lansing frowned. As a female executive, she really disliked the Australian savage in front of her. The other party's media and video image was just two people compared to privately.
"We are not without movement, Mel." Her fingers lightly lit the table. "We will follow up on Wayne Greenberg's beating incident, and "Batman: The Moment of War" and "Die Hard 3" are both the second week of release. Even if the film's stamina is sufficient, "Brave Heart" still has an advantage..."
"Dinglinglinglinglinglinglinglinglingling."
Before she could continue talking, the phone on her desk rang. "Sorry, I'll answer the phone."
As she said that, she looked at the other party apologetically and picked up the phone on the table. "Hello, this is Shirley Lansing."
The call was not too long, but Paramount Ceo's face became increasingly ugly. She just agreed a few words in the middle, listening to the other party almost the whole time.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Mel Gibson deeply and said, "The call from the theater alliance, the scale of the screening of "Brave Heart" on the first weekend remains unchanged. 2,432 theaters in North America open paintings, and the number of screens that can be screened has been lowered to the minimum standard in the contract."
“mother f**ker!?”
Before the other party could continue to swear words, Shirley Lansing frowned and continued, "I seriously suspect now that even the lowest number of screens in the contract, we are at a loss in the time of schedule. This is the unanimous opinion of all chain theater chains. There is no way. "Batman: The Moment of War" received another $9.08 million yesterday! The theater companies now only recognize customer traffic."
"They will regret it." Mel Gibson understood that this was not only because the other party's films were good, but also because of the two giants that created negative news, and put pressure on the theater alliance.
"I have enough confidence in the film. When "Brave Heart" wins the box office championship, I want those theaters to take the initiative to increase the scale of the screening for us!"
Perhaps Twentieth Century Fox has no advantage in competing against Warner Bros., but he teamed up with Warner Bros. to hype the negative news about "Brave Heart" while squeezing the other party's screening scale. Townsend Rossman is familiar with it.
The effect of doing this is very obvious. Although the large piece of cake was taken away by Warner Bros., they also saved their screening scale, adding infinite possibilities to the subsequent long-term screening of the film.
As Warner Bros. expected, "Batman: The War Moment" easily won $9.08 million, $8.65 million, $6.62 million and $5.51 million in the four working days Monday to Thursday.
The film was officially released for a week, and before the next weekend, it successfully exceeded the 100 million US dollars mark, with a box office of up to 13.64 million US dollars.
Faced with the aggressive "Brave Heart", "Batman: War Time" will also be launched on overseas theater markets this weekend. Areas with relatively close ties to North America will be released simultaneously on Friday.
