After spending its first weekend in North America, "Raging Road" ushered in its first working day. The box office on Monday fell by 53% compared to yesterday, winning 11.34 million US dollars. "The Adventures of Tintin", a pg-rated film, fell by a lower rate, but the box office of the film was not high, and it only earned $2.65 million on Monday.√∟,

Both sides are not of the same magnitude.

Even the most optimistic market forecasting agency would not think that the North American box office of "The Adventures of Tintin" can exceed $100 million.

"Stop talking about $100 million."

On the plane, Tina Fey said to Scarlett Johnson, "It's very, very difficult to over 50 million dollars."

Scarlett rubbed his chin and muttered, "I don't know where to see David Ellison, the person I want to see the most now is him."

Duke looked at the two women, but said nothing.

For films like "The Adventures of Tintin", the production cost is definitely more than 100 million US dollars, and the promotional cost is almost the same as the production cost. In addition to the poor box office in North America, perhaps the inadequacy of foreign cultural products in North America is also one of the reasons. Perhaps the overseas box office of the film will be slightly better, but it is very difficult for David Ellison to recover the cost.

David Ellison doesn't like him, and he doesn't like David Ellison, this is something that Hollywood people know.

After the economic crisis, David Ellison won favor with companies such as Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks with his huge liquidity, but in Hollywood, he was destined to be an outsider who would be excluded by traditional forces.

In fact, what Duke wants is very simple, and it is enough to kick David Ellison out of this circle.

The Ellison family has strong funds, and Larry Ellison has a net worth no less than his. This does not mean that David Ellison can mobilize these resources. And as long as he fails, Larry Ellison will lose patience. If he messes up some big investments one after another, it will be very difficult to get the support of the family and external financing.

Losing Larry Ellison's support, David Ellison is just a hairless vulture.

Each of the four projects that David Ellison took over must invest huge amounts of money. Even if he does not have to pay too much money to raise funds to invest, the consequences will still be quite serious if he fails.

The far-reaching ones are still unaware. The situation in recent "The Adventures of Tintin" is very unhappy. In the four working days including Monday, the whole family movie only won a little more than $9 million, although it pushed the North American box office by $20 million. However, in the extremely fierce summer season, there is basically no competitiveness.

In the same four working days, "Rampant Road" won $42.68 million, and the North American box office easily crossed the threshold of $100 million, reaching as much as $117.51 ​​million.

At the same time, overseas revenues of nearly $70 million, and the global box office exceeded $300 million.

A new weekend is here, and North America ushered in an important Memorial Day schedule. "Alvin and the Chipmunk" has also been launched in North American theaters.

This is a pg-level animated film with a completely different audience from "Rampage Road". Otherwise, the publisher, 20th Century Fox, would not have been released on the next weekend of "Rampage Road".

"The Road of Furious" will not be affected much, but "The Adventures of Tintin" is different. The same type of film made it plummet the box office the following weekend, and it only earned $4.52 million in three days.

Without any surprises, "Alvin and the Chipmunk" took away the North American box office champion this weekend, and the box office number was $48.8 million. The animated film is "Rampage Road". As expected by the outside world, the good audience reputation made the R-rated film extremely stable. The box office in North America fell by only 42% the next weekend. It closed at $43.4 million.

Ten days after the release, "The Road of Furious"'s North American box office accumulated 160.91 million US dollars, and the global box office earned 412.06 million US dollars.

The excellent promotion and popularity of the audience, coupled with the huge appeal of Duke, Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise, they jointly created the r-level film's big sale.

Since the crew's promotional journey was divided into three parts, when Duke arrived in New York, he happened to meet Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise here, and the three of them also accepted an exclusive interview with NB TV.

There is nothing special about this interview, it is just a part of the entire promotional plan. The only special thing is that Duke revealed that "The Road of Furious" will be serialized, and there may be separate movies about Ferosa later. He will cooperate with D Comics to launch a series of comics "The Road of Furious", especially the highly-anticipated rock warriors, who will introduce his origin in detail.

Of course, there are plans for new works.

“I already have ideas about new works.”

Facing the camera lens, Duke said calmly, "This will still be a science fiction film, the theme is about dreams and how to use dreams!"

He appropriately revealed some content. No matter how the host asked, Duke would no longer reveal more content.

"Is it the science fiction script you have registered with the Screenwriters Association?"

When he took off his makeup and left the dressing room, Tom Cruise asked Duke, "How about I play the leading role?"

Although he had mentioned this project for a long time and Li Xiao expressed his strong interest, Duke did not directly reject Tom Cruise, but asked, "Are you sure you have time?"

Tom Cruise thought about it and had to shake his head, "I want to supervise the post-production of Mission Impossible 4, and there is still a new film to be filmed, and there is really no time."

When he walked to the parking lot, he looked at his watch and said, "I'm going to catch a plane back to Los Angeles and leave first."

"Wait!" Duke shouted him, asking Tina Fei to get a big gift box from the car and hand it to Cruise, saying, "This is a gift for Suri. I will go see her when I return to Los Angeles."

"You are such a qualified godfather."

As a result, Tom Cruise approached Duke and asked, "Actually, I really want to be a godfather, too."

Duke could understand what Tom Cruise meant, shrugged and said helplessly, "This kind of thing can only be done."

He and Scarlett did not take contraceptive measures too much, but Miss Johnson never made any noise.

Moreover, Scarlett was only twenty-four years old, and Duke and her were not in a hurry.

Tom Cruise's car hurriedly left the parking lot. When Duke was about to leave, Charlize Theron walked out of the elevator with his assistant. She did not go to her car, but came to Duke.

"Is there something wrong?" Duke asked leaning against his Bentley.

"Nothing." Charlize Theron took off his sunglasses from his face, looked at Duke, and said, "Just want to tell you, don't forget to vote for me during the awards season."

Duke frowned, "That's all?"

In fact, Charlize Theron knew very well that even if she was just talking about Duke's style, she would definitely vote for her. She shrugged and said, "Didn't you tell me about your new film when you were in New Mexico? Isn't there a female character who has few appearances? Let me give it to me?"

"Leo's pay is quite good..." Duke shook his head, "I can't afford to spend another $20 million."

Although there has not been formal negotiations yet, the director and Leonardo DiCaprio must have both paid high dividends. Adding Charlize Theron, Warner Bros. will be crazy, which will also compress his production budget.

Charlize Theron now has the confidence to call out a $20 million salary and a bonus of more points.

"Don't you have very few scenes?" Charlize smiled. "Just give me a symbolic pay, just treat me as a friendly performance."

Duke glanced at her and roughly understood what Charlize meant. She was using this method to repay favors.

"Okay..." Duke did not refuse, "I will have someone talk to Nancy after the project is established."

"I will say hello to her in advance."

Charlize stared at Duke for a while, but turned around, "Goodbye, Duke."

After saying that, she no longer had any hesitation or nostalgia, and walked towards her direction with big strides.

She knew very well that Duke was a person, and some things could not be earned just by wanting to make. Instead of being entangled, it would be better to maintain a good relationship and a suitable distance and create a better future for herself.

Tina Fei has been watching Charlize Theron silently. She has been with Duke for so many years, and she has witnessed the changes in the relationship between the two people with her own eyes. Among so many women Duke has dated, she may not be the smartest, but she is the one who knows the best choice.

Correspondingly, she can also make Duke think of one care after the end.

Watching Charlize Theron's tall back disappear into the car, Duke opened the car door and got into the Bentley. After waiting for Tina Fey to get on the car from the other side, he said to the driver, "Go to Long Island."

He likes Charlize's character very much, and Duke never denies it.

Of course, now this is more like appreciation. He would not be stupid enough to think that Charlize Theron's current status will still maintain the same relationship with him.

In fact, after ending his previous chaotic life, Duke never thought of returning to the past.

As the car drove out of the parking lot, Duke turned around and asked Tina Fei next to him, "Has the script been delivered to Leo?"

Tina Fee immediately replied, "Leonardo is on vacation in Majorca, Spain. The script is handed over to his agent Ino Martin, who will fly to Spain to transfer it to Leonardo."

Duke mentioned this project a long time ago, and the other party was also very interested. The next one was not a problem, and he was not worried much. (To be continued.)
