After the full first week, "fight club" finally opened for seven days, with a box office of $23.45 million. Although it still failed to pose a threat to the matrix in its third week, it became the most watched film in early August.
Then, enter the next week that determines the total box office volume of the film.
With more and more attention and discussion, even if the number of screening screens remained at 1263, the box office performance of the film in the next week was still bright from August 13 to August 19, with a single week decline of only 17% and another $19.46 million.
In two weeks, the cumulative box office of fight club has reached $42.91 million.
When the box office came out the next week, the new world film team had to adjust its initial box office expectation of $60 million to $80 million, because in the third week, the number of screens of fight club will double to 2537.
At the same time, "matrix" is still the most powerful film in the near future.
In the third and fourth weeks of its release at the same time as fight club, the matrix received $47.96 million and $30.69 million respectively. About a month after its opening, the cumulative box office of this sci-fi blockbuster with a reputation of classic level has exceeded 200 million, reaching $223.41 million.
Fairly stable progress towards the $300 million target.
On the other hand, after Simon's 15th child was born, Nancy continued to cultivate on the east coast. The two Jenny and a group of children quickly returned to the west coast to end the summer vacation, and the young people at their age began to study in the second half of the year.
Los Angeles.
Time comes to late August, which is August 23.
Monday.
In the new week, Simon first went to Fox Studios in Century City, Beverly Hills.
The merger of the three companies has been basically completed. Shirley Lansing has taken over most of the business of the new company. Today we will discuss some subsequent development matters of the new company.
Simon arrived at the cinema, and Rupert Murdoch came at about the same time. Obviously, it is still to strive for more initiative.
Simon has no problem.
After all, initiative depends on both strength and ability. It happens that Murdoch is worse than Simon in both.
Therefore, Simon doesn't need to be too strong at all.
Simon is better at sneaking into the night with the wind. He has unconsciously completed the expansion of Westeros system, but people around him noticed that there are already unshakable giants here.
Like the development of daenerys.
This time, we mainly discuss the development of a series of major film projects after the merger of the three companies.
The first is the Star Wars series.
However, although Lucas screwed up the first part of the Star Wars prequel, Simon did not interfere with the prequel trilogy because of everyone's previous agreement, and Lucas continued to play the latter two parts.
Of course, after the prequel trilogy, there will be no more Lucas.
Simon is not in a hurry.
Even at the end of the trilogy, the Star Wars series will be refrigerated for some years and then taken out. After all, feelings are still brewing for a long time.
The second is MGM, 007 series, and even Simon's early secret agent film universe. However, the progress of this plan is quite slow. Three years ago, Simon deliberately suppressed the "ghost Party of 007" and "Thunderbolt Doll" in 1996. The new 007 will not be released until the end of this year, and the schedule of "Thunderbolt doll 2" is next summer, four years different from the first one.
After all, it's too crowded.
Moreover, Simon doesn't like to see Hollywood full of sequels. With such a good momentum, it's the right way to develop some originality as much as possible.
However, since the three merged, at this meeting, all parties took the initiative to speed up the planned spy film universe plan.
Simon had no objection.
In addition to the new 007 at the end of the year and the thunderbolt doll 2 next summer, this agreement is to open up a new agent series. Yes, there are many spies.
The main creators have been determined in advance. Paul Greengrass, who has quickly become a first-line director through two consecutive films "witch Blair" and "public enemy", and Mada's classmate as the hero. But the latter premise is that we must agree to sign a long-term agreement, otherwise Simon can only change people.
In fact, Simon prefers to bring in the mission impossible series. Unfortunately, part of the copyright of this series belongs to paramount. Therefore, Simon once again adopted the suppression strategy. After mission impossible 2, even though paramount repeatedly urged, he still pressed the development of Mission Impossible 3, so that after mission impossible 2 in the summer of 1996, The third film was originally expected to be released as early as the end of 1998, but until now, there is no shadow.
In addition, the general direction is to suppress sequels.
The immediate result is that paramount has been almost ground. Simon probably won't object to it, and cage, as the hero, won't have much opinion. Because Simon is also quietly suppressing cage to avoid the actor's other brilliant works outside the mission impossible series.
Therefore, except for mission impossible, cage's development in the 1990s is much worse than that in the original time and space. Without mission impossible, it is only a matter of time before he falls into the second and third tier.
Finally, after star wars and the spy movie universe, it's fox.
The past accumulation of the series that fox can get hold of is probably a few such as tiger courage and dragon power and alien. However, the two series have completed the initial trilogy, and the follow-up belongs to the kind of tasteless food and pitiful abandonment.
In addition to the fully held series, there are two cooperation projects, the terminator series and the Mummy series.
Disney was authorized to make a Terminator 3, which invested a lot. The result was tepid, and there was no plan to continue. The copyright was still jointly held by Fox and danilis. Then there is the mummy. At present, two have been completed. According to the curse of the Hollywood trilogy, there is only one space left. In the future, it is probably a pity to eat tasteless and abandon.
Generally speaking, fox has been heavily influenced by Simon, a big butterfly in recent years. The once popular "kid in charge" series, the "speed of life and death" series, independence day and even the super God Titanic in the 1990s originally belonged to fox, but they were taken away in advance.
If it were not for the several cooperation projects offered by Simon, fox would definitely have a harder time these years.
However, in addition to the blockbuster, the conference decided to restart two series. Simon's two famous works in his early years: death is coming and the butterfly effect.
At the beginning, because Simon did not participate much in the follow-up, with the continuous reduction of the box office and the continuous rise of the cost, both series ended after the completion of the trilogy.
This time, Simon is equal to returning again. It's time to restart the two series.
After all, after so many years, you can sell your feelings.
In general, several things that were roughly finalized in this meeting were that the prequel of Star Wars continued to be given to Lucas to speed up the construction of the spy film universe, the project of Mummy 3, the derivatives of tiger bravery 4 and alien series were considered, and the projects of death 4 and butterfly response 4 were approved.
In fact, the most direct result of this series of actions is to bring a large number of new opportunities to Hollywood.
At the end of the day's meeting, as the news spread, many people began to take action.
Rupert Murdoch now lives in New York. Since he came to the west coast, of course he will not leave immediately. In the evening, he specially held a cocktail party in the Murdoch family's mansion in the cold water Canyon of Beverly Hills.
Simon was invited to attend as promised.
In the brightly lit mountain mansion shrouded in the night, Simon rushed out of the car, and Murdoch personally welcomed him. He was followed by a blonde white woman in her 30s. Her name was Linda. This was Murdoch's new wife. Simon didn't know exactly which term.
But a woman who looks smart.
As he greeted the couple, Simon couldn't help thinking of one thing.
This time, because of the big butterfly, a strange woman couldn't come to Murdoch again.
Pity, pity!
That's a strange woman. Simon didn't mean to ridicule at all, from his heart.
What a pity.
If you can meet him, Simon must help. However, the butterfly wings have been fanned for so many years, and I don't know where to fan the strange woman. Simon won't deliberately look for it.
Speaking of it, Simon has another woman around him, who once had something to do with Murdoch.
Jerry hall.
When I first met him, I only wanted to taste the fresh, but I didn't expect to become a long-term lover after several times. Therefore, the idea of pushing each other to Murdoch gradually disappeared, and let it go. After all, Simon can't do this strange thing of actively planting grass by pushing his own woman to other men.
When you come to the reception, it will inevitably be another entertainment.
Simon has always been a very conscious guest. He knows that he can't steal the limelight of the owner's house too much. Therefore, after some entertainment, he hid in the corner of the terrace on the cliff of the mansion as usual.
There is no lack of water around the vase.
On the left is Mei Chen amik, one of the three heroines of thunderbolt baby.
Compared with Kate Beckinsale and Catherine Zeta Jones, the big vase set as the beauty of snakes and scorpions in the baby trio is the worst developed one in recent years. It is probably because I heard the news and obviously looking for opportunities to appear here tonight.
On the right is Shireen Finn, the same beautiful vase in Hollywood, the famous "boxed beauty".
When he said hello, Simon joked that if the other party had come to the audition, she would be better suited to play instinct than Linda Fiorentino.
On the scale of instinct, actresses with slightly higher pursuit will hesitate.
However, because the "instinct" has proved to be very successful, not to mention Simon westero said it. Shireen Fenton's flattered expression haunted Simon unknowingly.
Simon was sitting on a sofa for four, so Shireen Finn crowded a girl on the right, Melissa George, the former heroine of the cruise ship of terror.
Nancy Josephson, President of ICM, led several young actors to say hello to Simon. The purpose was obvious. She happened to meet an "acquaintance" like Melissa. Although it was not Simon's dish, she pointed to the empty seat next to Shireen Finn and asked the other party to sit down. Therefore, several other young men and women still lost their manners even if they tried to hide it.
Simon is only curious about Melissa George's age.
In my memory, the horror cruise was produced in 2009. I didn't expect that the girl had made her debut at the moment.
For Simon's inquiry, Melissa George, who looks like a little quail or pretends to be a little quail, has no hesitation that a woman's age is not suitable for inquiry. She says she is 23 years old.
a great man becomes famous late in life.
However, it seems that it has never been a success.
Simon only had such an idea, and then quietly labeled the horror game. Such a film can't sell well in 2009 when the film and television industry has begun to be impetuous. If it is made in advance, the market performance will be very good.
In addition, of course, there is no shortage of women more familiar with Simon at the party, such as Nicole Kidman, an Australian who happened to be in Los Angeles recently, such as Natasha henstridge, a heterogeneous girl, and Charlize Theron, a South African Diamond who missed the opportunity of being the heroine of Chicago last time because Madonna agreed to Simon's conditions.
But, well, Simon prefers freshness.
The girl who came to chat with Simon was very new, Natalie Portman.
Frankly speaking, Simon recognizes the artistic achievements of this killer is not too cold and the excellent performances of its actors, but Simon doesn't feel much about a little girl who comes out of it.
Again, despite the appearance of Simon, a little girl once again won the role in this killer is not too cold, and once again became Queen Amidala in Star Wars Prequel: the phantom threat.
The former may be historical inertia or luck, but the latter can only be said to occupy the light of ethnicity.
Natalie Portman is a Jew, which is well known.
Moreover, I don't know if anyone has found that in fact, there is a very interesting thing in Hollywood. Many famous symbolic female characters, such as Queen Amidala in Star Wars, black widow in Marvel, and magic woman in DC, are all Jews.
What a coincidence?
As for whether it is a real coincidence, different people have different opinions.
Simon personally doesn't think it's a coincidence.
Digression.
Besides the Star Wars prequel, the failure of the whole series can almost be said to start from the casting.
The performances of the original male and female protagonists, Ivan McGregor and Natalie Portman, in the series, in short, not only did they not produce any chemical reaction, but even if they were separated separately, it was really difficult to make much impression, so that the series did not provide much help for their career development in Hollywood. Even if you don't pay attention, many people have to forget who played the hero of the prequel series.
It's the same this time.
Although the hero changed into a completely new person, and the heroine remained the same, she still failed in the casting.
Then again, the failed casting of the Star Wars series seems to have become a tradition since the prequel. For example, the Star Wars 7 Series launched again later, the male and female protagonists are even more unspeakable.
Simon doesn't think this series is so famous that it doesn't matter who plays the role. After all, the success of the founding series is inseparable from the excellent performance of a series of actors in the early generation. Harrison Ford has been popular all his life because of a Han Solo.
In short, it's hard to say.
At present, since Lucas film has been included in the bag, the prequel series does not have to say that it has been like that, but Simon will not allow what once happened to restart in the future.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
After the full first week, "fight club" finally opened for seven days, with a box office of $23.45 million. Although it still failed to pose a threat to the matrix in its third week, it became the most watched film in early August.
Then, enter the next week that determines the total box office volume of the film.

Fairly stable progress towards the $300 million target.

However, the two series have completed the initial trilogy, and the follow-up belongs to the kind of tasteless food and pitiful abandonment.In addition to the fully held series, there are two cooperation projects, the terminator series and the Mummy series.Disney was authorized to make a Terminator 3, which invested a lot. The result was tepid, and there was no plan to continue. The copyright was still jointly held by Fox and danilis. Then there is the mummy. At present, two have been completed. According to the curse of the Hollywood trilogy, there is only one space left. In the future, it is probably a pity to eat tasteless and abandon.Generally speaking, fox has been heavily influenced by Simon, a big butterfly in recent years. The once popular "kid in charge" series, the "speed of life and death" series, independence day and even the super God Titanic in the 1990s originally belonged to fox, but they were taken away in advance.If it were not for the several cooperation projects offered by Simon, fox would definitely have a harder time these years.However, in addition to the blockbuster, the conference decided to restart two series. Simon's two famous works in his early years: death is coming and the butterfly effect.At the beginning, because Simon did not participate much in the follow-up, with the continuous reduction of the box office and the continuous rise of the cost, both series ended after the completion of the trilogy.This time, Simon is equal to returning again. It's time to restart the two series.After all, after so many years, you can sell your feelings.In general, several things that were roughly finalized in this meeting were that the prequel of Star Wars continued to be given to Lucas to speed up the construction of the spy film universe, the project of Mummy 3, the derivatives of tiger bravery 4 and alien series were considered, and the projects of death 4 and butterfly response 4 were approved.In fact, the most direct result of this series of actions is to bring a large number of new opportunities to Hollywood.At the end of the day's meeting, as the news spread, many people began to take action.Rupert Murdoch now lives in New York. Since he came to the west coast, of course he will not leave immediately. In the evening, he specially held a cocktail party in the Murdoch family's mansion in the cold water Canyon of Beverly Hills.Simon was invited to attend as promised.In the brightly lit mountain mansion shrouded in the night, Simon rushed out of the car, and Murdoch personally welcomed him. He was followed by a blonde white woman in her 30s. Her name was Linda. This was Murdoch's new wife. Simon didn't know exactly which term.But a woman who looks smart.As he greeted the couple, Simon couldn't help thinking of one thing.This time, because of the big butterfly, a strange woman couldn't come to Murdoch again.Pity, pity!That's a strange woman. Simon didn't mean to ridicule at all, from his heart.What a pity.If you can meet him, Simon must help. However, the butterfly wings have been fanned for so many years, and I don't know where to fan the strange woman. Simon won't deliberately look for it.Speaking of it, Simon has another woman around him, who once had something to do with Murdoch.Jerry hall.When I first met him, I only wanted to taste the fresh, but I didn't expect to become a long-term lover after several times. Therefore, the idea of pushing each other to Murdoch gradually disappeared, and let it go. After all, Simon can't do this strange thing of actively planting grass by pushing his own woman to other men.When you come to the reception, it will inevitably be another entertainment.Simon has always been a very conscious guest. He knows that he can't steal the limelight of the owner's house too much. Therefore, after some entertainment, he hid in the corner of the terrace on the cliff of the mansion as usual.There is no lack of water around the vase.On the left is Mei Chen amik, one of the three heroines of thunderbolt baby.Compared with Kate Beckinsale and Catherine Zeta Jones, the big vase set as the beauty of snakes and scorpions in the baby trio is the worst developed one in recent years. It is probably because I heard the news and obviously looking for opportunities to appear here tonight.On the right is Shireen Finn, the same beautiful vase in Hollywood, the famous "boxed beauty".When he said hello, Simon joked that if the other party had come to the audition, she would be better suited to play instinct than Linda Fiorentino.On the scale of instinct, actresses with slightly higher pursuit will hesitate.However, because the "instinct" has proved to be very successful, not to mention Simon westero said it. Shireen Fenton's flattered expression haunted Simon unknowingly.Simon was sitting on a sofa for four, so Shireen Finn crowded a girl on the right, Melissa George, the former heroine of the cruise ship of terror.Nancy Josephson, President of ICM, led several young actors to say hello to Simon. The purpose was obvious. She happened to meet an "acquaintance" like Melissa. Although it was not Simon's dish, she pointed to the empty seat next to Shireen Finn and asked the other party to sit down. Therefore, several other young men and women still lost their manners even if they tried to hide it.Simon is only curious about Melissa George's age.In my memory, the horror cruise was produced in 2009. I didn't expect that the girl had made her debut at the moment.For Simon's inquiry, Melissa George, who looks like a little quail or pretends to be a little quail, has no hesitation that a woman's age is not suitable for inquiry. She says she is 23 years old.a great man becomes famous late in life.However, it seems that it has never been a success.Simon only had such an idea, and then quietly labeled the horror game. Such a film can't sell well in 2009 when the film and television industry has begun to be impetuous. If it is made in advance, the market performance will be very good.In addition, of course, there is no shortage of women more familiar with Simon at the party, such as Nicole Kidman, an Australian who happened to be in Los Angeles recently, such as Natasha henstridge, a heterogeneous girl, and Charlize Theron, a South African Diamond who missed the opportunity of being the heroine of Chicago last time because Madonna agreed to Simon's conditions.But, well, Simon prefers freshness.The girl who came to chat with Simon was very new, Natalie Portman.Frankly speaking, Simon recognizes the artistic achievements of this killer is not too cold and the excellent performances of its actors, but Simon doesn't feel much about a little girl who comes out of it.Again, despite the appearance of Simon, a little girl once again won the role in this killer is not too cold, and once again became Queen Amidala in Star Wars Prequel: the phantom threat.The former may be historical inertia or luck, but the latter can only be said to occupy the light of ethnicity.Natalie Portman is a Jew, which is well known.Moreover, I don't know if anyone has found that in fact, there is a very interesting thing in Hollywood. Many famous symbolic female characters, such as Queen Amidala in Star Wars, black widow in Marvel, and magic woman in DC, are all Jews.What a coincidence?As for whether it is a real coincidence, different people have different opinions.Simon personally doesn't think it's a coincidence.Digression.Besides the Star Wars prequel, the failure of the whole series can almost be said to start from the casting.The performances of the original male and female protagonists, Ivan McGregor and Natalie Portman, in the series, in short, not only did they not produce any chemical reaction, but even if they were separated separately, it was really difficult to make much impression, so that the series did not provide much help for their career development in Hollywood. Even if you don't pay attention, many people have to forget who played the hero of the prequel series.It's the same this time.Although the hero changed into a completely new person, and the heroine remained the same, she still failed in the casting.Then again, the failed casting of the Star Wars series seems to have become a tradition since the prequel. For example, the Star Wars 7 Series launched again later, the male and female protagonists are even more unspeakable.Simon doesn't think this series is so famous that it doesn't matter who plays the role. After all, the success of the founding series is inseparable from the excellent performance of a series of actors in the early generation. Harrison Ford has been popular all his life because of a Han Solo.In short, it's hard to say.At present, since Lucas film has been included in the bag, the prequel series does not have to say that it has been like that, but Simon will not allow what once happened to restart in the future.
