Chapter 252 Counterattack to win the championship (third update)

"Bastard, I told you to be softer, softer, but you just didn't listen, the costume was broken, how could I return it!" Da Meiyuan complained while pinching Chen Hao.

"It can't be my fault, I can only blame you for being so beautiful!" Chen Hao said with a smile, hugging Damei Yuanxiang.

Da Meiyuan was happy when she heard the words, but she said, "Is it still my fault?"

"It's so beautiful that I can't control it." Chen Hao said, licking his face.

Da Meiyuan glanced at Chen Hao reproachfully, then touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go out and eat something!"

"No, I made some food before, just heat it up." Chen Hao immediately jumped out of bed upon hearing this.

Da Meiyuan looked at Chen Hao who was going to cook for herself, her heart moved slightly, and she thought of the intimacy between the two just now, so she covered her head with a quilt in shame.

Ten minutes later, Chen Hao heated up the previous meal and brought it directly to the bed.

Da Meiyuan, who was physically exhausted, didn't care that this was the bed, and went straight to eat.

Then I saw Chen Hao staring at him and smiling, covering his red lips and saying embarrassedly, "What do you think I am doing?"

"It's delicious, I'm already full just looking at you!" Chen Hao laughed.

When Da Meiyuan heard the words, her heart was like honey, but on her face she rolled her eyes at Chen Hao with all kinds of flair, then ignored him and continued to eat.

Seeing that Da Meiyuan was eating deliciously, Chen Hao couldn't help swallowing, and then they ate together.

After eating, Da Meiyuan got up and cleaned up, then came back and lay down in Chen Hao's arms, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"What's next?" Chen Hao asked, stroking Da Meiyuan's smooth skin.

"Huh?" Da Meiyuan hugged Chen Hao, closed her beautiful eyes, and didn't want to move in comfort.

"My company is going to make two TV series recently, are you interested?" Chen Hao asked looking at Da Meiyuan who was lazily in his arms.

Da Meiyuan opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Hao, then closed her eyes and said, "No need, I have already accepted a script!"

Chen Hao frowned slightly upon hearing this, sighed, and said no more.

Seeing that Chen Hao stopped talking, Da Meiyuan rubbed her little head again, closing her eyes and resting her mind!
However, Chen Hao was a little moved when he saw the radiant pretty face.

Da Meiyuan seemed to be aware of it, and opened her beautiful eyes to look at Chen Hao, and then saw Chen Hao's handsome face getting bigger and bigger!
……

In the next few days, Chen Hao and Zhou Zhiruo got bored with each other all the time, but not only the costume was broken, but even the Yitian sword was broken!

Chen Hao, who was blamed by Da Meiyuan to death, finally had to buy an identical costume and a big sword for Da Meiyuan to return to the crew.

Happy times always pass quickly, and a week is fleeting. Chen Hao received last week's North American weekend box office rankings from Davis!

In the North American film market last week, a counterattack event that shocked everyone happened.

The highly acclaimed "The Ninth District" in the third week of its release, with a 3% drop against the sky, won 2184 million US dollars in the three days of the weekend.

After being runner-up for two weeks in a row, it finally counterattacked and won the championship in the third week, becoming the champion of the North American weekend box office rankings last week!
"The Ninth District"'s victory undoubtedly shattered everyone's glasses, and Chen Hao never thought that "The Ninth District" would have a chance to win the box office championship!
It can only be said that the holiday season is worthy of being known for its long-term hits. The consecutive holiday weekends have allowed the movie's box office to remain at a relatively high level.

Of course, the quality and reputation of "The Ninth District" is also an important factor, and this is a critical period for all the best films to compete in the Olympics.

Affected by the upcoming announcement of Oscar nominations, movies with good reputation will naturally get more attention. The Oscar effect is already at work.

In addition to the major event of "The Ninth District"'s counterattack to win the championship, the runner-up in the box office rankings last week also caused a lot of controversy.

Director Tim Burton's family sci-fi film "Big Fish" enjoyed its wide-open opening weekend, according to evaluation data released by Columbia Pictures on Sunday.

With $1450 million in box office sales, it became the runner-up of this weekend's North American film box office chart. The film is distributed by Columbia Pictures, but this assessment has been questioned by several studios.

New Line Cinema claims that its company's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" earned more than "Big Fish" at the box office, making it a well-deserved runner-up.

According to New Line's evaluation report, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" earned a total of $3 million this weekend, while "Big Fish" earned about $1410 million.

New Line Cinema's distribution manager, David Tuckerman, commented on Columbia Pictures' estimates, saying "they're a little too high."

New Line's view was echoed by unidentified executives at the other two studios, one of whom said, "Columbia appears to be a bit too domineering."

Columbia Pictures distribution manager Roy Bruch disputed this, claiming that their estimates were reasonable.

What is right and wrong?The studios released more precise figures on Monday.

"Big Fish" had been showing only a limited number of screenings over the previous four weekends.

The film opened at No. 12 last weekend, when it opened in 125 theaters, and is now in 2405 theaters.

It achieved a weekend box office of 1450 million US dollars, surpassing the 3 million US dollars of "Lord of the Rings 1410" in one fell swoop, and became the runner-up on the list!

But the difference between the two films is really small, only $40!
To date, "Big Fish" has grossed $2410 million.

And "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has earned $3 million at the box office in the four weeks since its release.

The film officially crossed the $3 million mark on Friday, 2 days before its predecessor, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," did the same.

In addition, "A Basket of Children" starring Steve Martin ranked fourth with $1200 million in box office revenue this weekend.

The hit comedy has grossed $1 million over its three weekends.

Jack Nicholson and Diana Keaton's rom-com "Love is a Compromise" ranked fifth this weekend with $5 million in box office sales.

Since its release in five weekends, the cumulative box office revenue of the film has reached 5 million US dollars, and the film is still distributed by Columbia Pictures.
