I am many years in the courtyard

The summer of 1986, Hong Kong Island.

More than two months have passed since the storm that caused Mitsui and his three large chaebols to be disbanded, but the aftermath of this incident has still not been eliminated.

As the initiator of this matter, he did not pay much attention to it for many years because he had more things to be busy with.

Hong Kong Island is particularly noisy in July.

The third Jurassic Park movie has been released a few days ago and is as popular as ever.

Because the follow-up direction of this movie has become even more different, and the dinosaur series of movies is originally about special effects.

As long as the special effects shots are shocking enough and the monster dinosaurs are scary enough, it will be able to harvest the box office.

Besides, the requirement for directors for many years is: they are not afraid of burning money, but the scenes must be able to earn enough box office.

Otherwise, go back to where you came from.

With the blessing of new technologies and the dedicated performance of actors, directors and other staff, even the third film in the series has an amazing box office.

Many friends and businessmen were shocked when they saw this scene.

"Fake! How many movies is this already? Why are the dinosaur movies produced by their PolyGram Group still so strong?"

Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, one of the eight giants in Hollywood, also released a dinosaur movie this summer.

The investment in this film was as high as 90 million U.S. dollars. At this time in 1986, this investment amount was undoubtedly very terrifying.

Originally this was an ambitious project for 20th Century Fox, and they wanted to make a big splash at the box office.

But it was so stubborn that it was scheduled to be scheduled for the end of June, just half a month before the release of the third part of Jurassic Park.

Well now, it has only been released for half a month, and the box office has reached more than 30 million.

But after the release of the third part of Jurassic Park, the box office of 20th Century Fox's dinosaur movie was not cut in half, but fell completely.

Horror!

Because of this, the president of 20th Century Fox went crazy.

Similar to 20th Century Fox, there are three other companies: Warner Bros., Paramount and MGM.

Because the three companies have also prepared dinosaur movies, which will be released by Paramount next weekend, only one week apart from the PolyGram movie.

This can be said to be straightforward.

But now that Jurassic Park has exploded at the box office on the first day it was released, all Paramount executives are completely confused: Falk, how is this possible?

You know, this is the third part of the series, and it is the end of the series.

But I didn't expect it to be so powerful. How could I do it?

Anyway, Paramount's executive meeting was in chaos.

Some people want to just admit defeat and adjust the schedule!

However, there are still some executives who believe that they have already invested in the early publicity and choose to retreat at this time. Where can they put their face?

Warner Bros. and MGM are also in later schedules, almost spanning the entire summer schedule.

There's no way around it, the summer season has always been a battleground for military strategists. With so many blockbuster movies, the most enjoyable part is the movie fans.

"Intensify our publicity efforts. We cannot admit defeat. We will win back the box office championship this time no matter what."

The CEO of MGM said with very sharp eyes.

At the same time, I am very gloating about the misfortune of 20th Century Fox. After all, their box office is already broken. I guess it won't be long before they are canceled by the theaters, right?

The entire Bald Eagle Continent became extremely hot in the summer of 1986 due to the release of the third installment of Jurassic Park.

In addition to the Bald Eagle mainland, Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, Europe and other places, the third Jurassic Park movie is also conquering cities and towns, just because this time, the marketing is better.

The last one in the series!

King's return!

The most shocking prehistoric dinosaur!

A visual feast created with US$500 million!

Many marketing words have directly turned into brainwashing copywriting, and they are promoted through soft and hard advertisements such as TV, newspapers, buses and subways, etc. It can be said that it is an intensive artillery fire!

"Dad, this third dinosaur movie is really good. It's better than the previous two. It's so shocking."

Hong Kong Island, Villa No. 76, Deep Water Bay.

The little boy, who had just gone to see a movie with He Minhong, returned home and saw the man who was teaching Xu Yuanxi and his two brothers arithmetic lessons in the living room, and couldn't help but praise him.

Stanley Ho also agreed, saying that the third part is very enjoyable.

When Qin Huairu heard this, she immediately said with a smile:

"Does that need to be said? Your father just received a call. Guess how much the Bald Eagle movie has at the box office?"

The third part of Jurassic Park is not released simultaneously around the world, but there is a difference of one or two days.

The Bald Eagle side is the earliest, because the creative team was the first to promote it there, and it is also the largest ticket warehouse in the world. Of course, it is the first choice to promote it there.

Therefore, it happens to be the third day of Bald Eagle, and we must now know the box office results of the previous two days.

"Looking at you, Mom, you are so happy. Could it be that the number has exceeded 1.5 billion?"

When the little boy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and He Minhong guessed a similar number.

Both of them knew the data on the first day, which was just over 70 million.

Seventy million US dollars!

This data is certainly enough to drive Hollywood giants such as Warner Bros., Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and MGM crazy.

The data on the second day must be high but not low, so it should not be a problem for the little ones to guess that it will exceed 1.5 billion US dollars.

Qin Huairu did not continue to sell things, and said happily:

"It exceeded 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the box office the next day reached 89 million U.S. dollars. Added together, the two days just reached 1.6 billion U.S. dollars."

hiss!

So scary?

Xiao Bu Dian and He Minhong suddenly took a breath of cold air.

I originally thought that the data they guessed were exaggerated enough, but the actual data was even more exaggerated.

Such horrific data is indeed disappointing.

Many years added next to it:

"Now the movie from 20th Century Fox has been released, but Paramount's movies haven't announced the rescheduling yet."

"But today is Friday over there at Bald Eagle, so the box office results will definitely explode. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is Saturday again. I guess they will be even more desperate, right?"

"So our movie will definitely continue to rise, and it may even surpass the first and second movies."

"Of course, as you just said, this movie is very beautiful and shocking. That's because the investment is huge, so it's more difficult to get back the money."

The third film has a lot of special effects shots, and there are several high-investment shots. The investment for a single scene shot exceeds 10 million US dollars.

What's more, there are so many shots, so the investment in the entire third movie has exceeded 300 million US dollars.

Including global publicity funds, the total investment has reached 150 million U.S. dollars, so the total investment and publicity is said to be 500 million U.S. dollars, which is not much water.

However, for such a huge investment, it seems that there is not much pressure to repay the capital now.

After all, according to the current box office trend, as long as the total global box office exceeds 1.5 billion US dollars, it can recover its costs and start making profits. That is to say, the PolyGram Group was willing to spend money, or was willing to spend money for many years, to be able to create this popcorn movie that strives for excellence.

Only in this way will the box office results usher in a big explosion.

“No wonder”

The little one suddenly understood and immediately gave a thumbs up:

"Dad, you are really good at business."

Whether it is writing novels and drawing comics, running a business, or investing, even movies are always victorious.

To be honest, when you meet such a father, even a little kid has to admire him very much.

Hot Wheels, Brother Jing and Bai Tofu also came back one after another, and they all talked about their thoughts on the movie.

Just one word: cattle!

Movie box office has taken off, not just in Hong Kong Island, but also in other places.

Here in the capital, several leaders of Wenjin Street also had the rare opportunity of watching the third part of Jurassic Park.

They heard that the box office of this movie was very good in Europe and the United States, so they took the time to watch it.

Not to mention the results, they are quite shocking.

"No wonder that boy from the Xu family is so good at making money. He is the only one who would be willing to invest such a large amount of money in a movie like this, 500 million US dollars."

"Indeed, when I heard about 500 million US dollars, I wanted to call him for many years and want to say a few words. Now it seems that his investment may actually make a lot of money. .”

"I'm afraid it's difficult to make a lot of money. After all, it takes about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars to get back the original investment. In Europe and the United States, it's only 13.4 billion U.S. dollars."

While the leaders were discussing this matter, the Bald Eagle's box office results for the third day were also released, causing Paramount, Warner Bros., MGM and other film companies to collectively lose their voices.

A single-day box office of US$13.5 billion!

Unprecedented!

so horrible!

The box office results on the third day directly crushed the results of the previous two days, and was also the single-day highest in the box office history of Bald Eagle.

Judging from the current trend, if it doesn't happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will most likely surpass the first Jurassic Park.

Giants such as Columbia Pictures, Disney and Universal Pictures are also trembling and dare not say anything.

The media across the United States went completely crazy, and movie fans even went out with their whole families.

It's summer vacation now, and it's time for the whole family to have fun.

The third Jurassic Park movie is a movie that everyone can watch, which has a great impact on improving the box office.

The fourth day is Saturday. I'm afraid the results on this day will be even more terrifying, right?

On the European continent, Friday's results were quickly released.

The British Isles, Gallic Chicken, Italy, Iberia Peninsula, Federal West Germany, Northern Europe, Moscow, etc., the box office of all together is actually higher than that of the Bald Eagle mainland, reaching a point Four to five billion US dollars.

hiss!

In other words, the box office results in Europe and the United States on the third day together directly reached 280 million US dollars.

The box office results were immediately reported by major media and newspapers.

Suddenly, it attracted more people's attention.

Many people originally didn't want to continue watching this movie, but when they saw this result, they couldn't help but take a second look.

Then when I was discussing it with my family, friends and colleagues, I seemed to have forgotten some scenes, so I couldn’t wait to watch it again.

Some people even directly dug out the first and second movies, watched them at home, and then went to the cinema to watch the third movie.

Anyway, this week in July was really crazy.

News spread very quickly, and newspaper sales increased.

Just because the third Jurassic Park movie was released, it was not just as simple as the movie becoming a hit, it also led to the booming development of many peripheral and other industries.

Tokyo is the second-largest city in the world for single-movie box office, and its box office results on Friday were also very impressive.

Single-day box office record: $91 million!

This result is also the highest single-day box office record in Tokyo film history, a very terrifying result!

Hong Kong Island, Garden City, Medan and other places also failed to withstand the invasion of dinosaurs and still delivered very beautiful box office results.

Across Southeast Asia, the box office revenue exceeded US$5,000 in one day, reaching US$53 million.

It's really terrible.

You know, people in Southeast Asia during this period didn't actually have much money.

But I didn't expect that their love for dinosaur movies would be so passionate.

The box office performance on the mainland was not bad either, but the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar during this period was somewhat different.

Therefore, if the single-day box office is converted into US dollars, it is only 20 million.

Therefore, on the third day, the box office results of the third Jurassic Park movie directly exceeded 200 million US dollars in Asia, reaching 215 million US dollars.

Then adding South America, Australia, the Middle East and other places, the global box office on Friday reached 550 million US dollars.

Including the results of the previous two days, the total global box office has exceeded one billion US dollars at this time, reaching 113.2 billion US dollars.

After calculating this value, Hollywood giants such as Paramount, Warner Bros., and Columbia became even more silent.

Then Paramount was the first to announce a schedule change on Saturday, announcing that it would withdraw for a week before releasing the film.

Warner Bros. and MGM took a look and thought, oh, is this trying to bully the weak and fear the strong?

Forget it, just wait and see what happens!

After all, Jurassic Park Part 3 is so strong now, but it's only the first week. As long as the drop in the second week exceeds 50%, it doesn't matter.

Or even, was it cut in half?

After all, the fans' enthusiasm for watching movies will be exhausted.

On Hong Kong Island, I suddenly received a call from Wenjin Street many years ago.

He was praised by the leader.

The box office of the movie exceeded one billion US dollars in three days. Recovering the cost is no longer a problem. As for how much money it can make, it still depends on the box office results in the second week.

"Okay, leader, I understand, I will supervise and get it done." (End of Chapter)
