The first ray of sunshine in the morning spread into the manor, and Wayne ran out of the garden with two dogs and sweat.

Since the two golden retrievers arrived at their new home, he has not been with these two goods for much time. Now that he has finished most of his work, he finally has time to get up early to exercise and walk the dog.

After returning to the living room, Wayne went to the third floor to take a shower, then leisurely went downstairs to sit in the living room and picked up the newspaper.

"Escape from the Deadly Town" is about to be screened in the third week, but you can feel the popularity is slowly declining. Now most of the entertainment pages in the newspaper are occupied by Warner Bros.'s new blockbuster "Batman-Return" and Paramount's big production "Skynet Chase".

"Escape from the Blind Town" in the past four working days has shown a significant downward trend in the box office.

Such an R-level film with a thriller nature has driven most of the target group into the theater through large-scale publicity in the early stage. Of course, it is impossible to avoid a decline in attendance.

The film won 4.56 million, 4.67 million, 4.42 million and 4.11 million in four working days, respectively, with a total of 17.76 million US dollars.

This weekend is the final large-scale screening time for the film, and it will definitely make way for other summer productions.

Starting this week, there will be at least two large-scale films almost every weekend. This is the time for fans to revel in, and it is also the time when major production companies work together and the most fierce competition.

"Boss, where is Ms. Harry Berry..."

Hela saw that he put down the newspaper in his hand and asked softly about the follow-up arrangements.

"She will move out soon, and I will go back to the farm to rest in a few days. If she moves out, you can call her for a taxi."

Haila nodded, and seeing that he picked up another newspaper, she walked out softly.

After the third week of screening in North America, "Escape from the Deadly Town" also landed in the overseas market. Films that can achieve great success in North America usually have no bad box office overseas, especially the five English friends.

The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and other countries are basically the back gardens of Hollywood movies.

He is not worried or concerned about overseas box office at all. He has the confidence in the film, and the overseas box office does not involve his interests.

It is only the early 1990s, and the speed of information dissemination is not as good as decades later. Large-scale overseas releases cannot be released simultaneously.

The poor information has caused trouble in the overseas box office sharing. Some videos have been off the market for half a year in North America, and many overseas countries are still being screened.

Wayne has all his thoughts on North America. He only hopes that North America's box office will be higher, the higher the better. This is the basic basis for him to make stable profits.

According to the contract signed at the time, all his box office percentage income was settled according to the total box office in North America, which fundamentally eliminated the hidden danger of Warner making trouble in the accounts.

He never looks up to the credibility of these big companies. Not to mention the box office share, they even have various overseas investment funds and Wall Street funds.

As time goes by June, Wayne takes two dogs back to the farm after attending the premiere of "Batman-Return". He plans to spend a few days off at home.

After Batman was released, all the films were affected. Although Paramount's "Skynet Chase" caused some trouble for Batman, it was still suppressed in the competition.

The number of screenings of "Escape from the Deadly Town" also shrank to 1,728, with only $14.32 million that week. In addition, $17.36 million in the previous four working days, the total box office in North America finally exceeded 150 million, up to $159.44 million.

In this fierce summer season, the box office potential has basically been exhausted.

"Congratulations, Hani."

Anna Greenberg put down the newspaper in his hand and hugged her son. Now Wayne has achieved box office success far exceeding her expectations.

"Mom, I said that I will be your pride!"

Wayne gently patted Anna on the back and said in her ear.

"Boss, Jimmy's call!" Nina waited until the mother and son had finished communicating before handing him the phone.

"Wayne, have you seen the box office statistics?" As soon as he put the phone in his ear, he heard Jimmy's impatient voice.

"certainly."

"That's right. I communicated with Warner Bros. today. They will try their best to keep the screening scale, but there is little hope. Now "Escape from the Dead" is ranked second in the annual box office rankings, don't you want to pull "Home Im" down?"

I recalled the box office rankings, and that's right, his video is not much different from the $170 million he has in Disney's "Home Imperial".

The gap between the two is only over 10 million, but it is difficult to surpass this film. The innate audience of films like Jueming Town is too much worse than each other. And Disney has a super box office bomb, bug-level Aladdin.

"Jimmy, I think it's unlikely. This is an R-rated film. It's difficult to get millions of box office revenue in the future. Even with Warner Bros., it's basically unlikely."

The sound on the phone suddenly became quiet, and Jimmy should have returned to the office.

"Wayne, we can buy some of it ourselves. By communicating with the theater through Warner Bros., this is not difficult to do!"

The agent's idea was good. Many Hollywood companies have done this, but Wayne shook his head after thinking about it.

"Forget it, let it go Jimmy, this is my second film, and we still have opportunities in the future. Let's just do this, is there anything else?"

"Of course, Twentieth Century Fox contacted me this morning and they wanted to meet you and talk to you very much. Unfortunately, I told them that you went back to the farm two days ago.

It should be about the director of the second part of "Happy Death Day". To be on the safe side, Townsend Rossman hopes you can continue to direct. How about it, are you interested?"

"Reject them, I have my own plan." After that, Wayne hung up the phone.

As long as a big-selling film is possible to continue to make a profit, according to the Hollywood style, whether it is a production company or a distribution company, even the actors involved in the film will try their best to promote the production of the sequel.

Compared with the high risk of producing original videos, the sequel that has been successfully completed once has a higher chance of success and the chance of profitability will be several times higher than that of original videos.

The pay of actors in sequels will be higher than their average value, and it is possible to even double the price several times, so the actors and their agency will do their best to promote it.

There are countless examples in this regard, and the most successful ones have become Hollywood's special A-listers with their series of films.

For example, Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp, these two are typical A-Ki, and if they were asked to act in another film, no producer would give a sky-high pay.

In addition to the low pay for participating in "Iron Man 1", Robert Downey Jr. received all the following "Iron Man" and "Avengers" paid a sky-high pay of 20+20 or more. It can be said that he took away a large piece of cake by himself.

Johnny Depp's pay was even more terrifying in the later stages of "Pirates of the Caribbean". There was news that the Soul-Gathering Coffin paid him more than $35 million!

Whether it is a giant or a small and medium-sized company, the only purpose of making videos is for profit, which can never be changed.

Now that "Happy Death Day" has been out, it has been a year since it was released, and it is very normal for Twentieth Century Fox to put the sequel on the agenda.

"What's wrong, Hani?"

After Anna saw her son hung up the phone, she was stunned.

"Twentieth Century Fox wants me to go back and continue to direct the sequel to "Happy Death Day", and I let my agent refuse." He explained to his mother, then signaled Nina with his eyes, and the two left the living room together.

"Harry Berry moved out?" When he came outside the villa, Wayne looked at the cattle and sheep in the distance and asked the assistant.

This matter has always been Nina communicating with Harry Berry, and he has not taken the other party's call in the past two days. Now that the matter is over, he hopes to avoid the media and end it quietly.

"I have moved out this morning, and Hela has called the car for her." Nina looked at her boss with contempt. This is a pure scumbag.

In the eyes of assistants, his boss is definitely not a good man, especially he is very disrespectful to women.

"Get time to call Harry Berry and tell her that I will contact her once the new project begins!"

In Wayne's opinion, this is just a deal. Harry Berry cooperated with the publicity plan and Warner Brothers gave her the rewards she deserved. And her efforts to herself will also get the role he promised.

Apart from that, there was no relationship between them. Wayne was indeed very obsessed with the body of the Black Pearl, but this was just part of the transaction.

Wayne lived in peace on the farm. During this period, he spent the rest of his time with his parents except for occasionally thinking about new projects.

The fight in the summer season in North America continues. Due to the type of film and grading of the film, the subsequent box office growth was slow.

The number of theaters that screened this film has shrunk to 650. After the film achieved a box office of $160 million, the growth rate has become hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and it is still declining.

"Batman Return", which was highly anticipated by Warner Bros., also opened high and closed low, but did not meet expectations. Although it defeated "Chasing the Line" released at the same time, Paramount's film won more than $80 million in box office.

In the third week after Batman's release, Paramount's film made a comeback. The large-scale painting of "Yihai Xiongfeng" directly overturned Batman with insufficient momentum and successfully won the weekend championship.

Tim Burton's "Batman Return" achieved a total box office of $120 million. Judging from this figure, the film does not lose money except for not meeting Warner Bros.'s highest expectations.

But the broken reputation of the movie fans cast a shadow on the subsequent box office and production of this superhero.
