$66.81 million, this is the box office of "Raider" overseas first weekend.\(23)(wx)

$66.79 million, this is the three-day box office in North America on the weekend of "Raider", and the box office in North America and overseas is almost the same.

The global box office was 133.6 million in a single week and weekend, becoming the first film in director Chen Tian’s career to have a global box office of over 100 million US dollars on a single week and weekend.

"Buried Alive", which ranked second in person, was behind, and this is also the first film in director Chen Tian's career to win the global weekend box office championship.

The second place in the global weekend box office list is not the newly released film in North America, but the two-month-old "Spider-Man 2".

"Spider-Man 2", which only earned less than 1 million US dollars in the North American weekend, achieved a record of 22.71 million US dollars through overseas markets such as Japan.

"Rail" threw "Spider-Man" away from 100 million US dollars. After such a huge gap made North American audiences have a very clear understanding of Chen Tian, ​​fans around the world have a deep impression of Chen Tian.

If you count the whole week, "The Raid" released for seven days has been crazy about 189 million super data.

Even the previous "The Queen of Prada" performed well in the box office overseas, and it achieved outstanding box office results of nearly 180 million overseas.

But now "Rail" has reached 180 million in just seven days after its release. It is hard to imagine that "Rail"'s box office will surpass "The Queen of Prada" and become a new milestone in Chen Tian's directorial career.

The outstanding box office of "Rail" has brought to Chen Tian an immeasurable influence, which is far from comparable to "The Queen of Prada".

The North American film market also successfully increased the box office to the 4 billion dollar mark before the end of the summer vacation schedule with the popularity of "The Raid".

The second week of release of "Rail", slowed down the box office growth. The box office fell below the 10 million dollar mark for the first time since its release on Monday, and only received 8.34 million.

On Tuesday, "The Raid" continued to drop by nearly two million compared to Monday, staying at the 6.33 million line. On Wednesday, the number of days released on Wednesday, the box office rebounded slightly.

With a single day of 7.21 million, the box office in North America also successfully crossed the 144 million mark.

No surprises, the investment of "The Raid" is no more than three million US dollars. Except for one Leonardo DiCaprio, the actors are all acted with Chinese actors, and will reach $200 million in North America.

No one expected that "Rail" would achieve such an unexpected result, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

It seemed as if I was riding on the Rockets, and the box office rushed all the way to the sky.

The overseas box office of "Rail" has also stabilized at more than 10 million US dollars. Although the profits obtained from overseas box office are limited, it is an honor for the film and a proof of its strength.

North America and overseas have performed well without any weakness. How can such achievements not make other filmmakers envious and jealous?

"I really doubt whether I am old and should quit." Stephen Spielberg's expression was filled with a hint of loneliness.

In recent years, he has not directed many films, and the focus is mainly on investment in DreamWorks films.

Last year's "Attack on the Impossible", "The Minority Report", and this year's "The End of Happiness", all three films were big, but these three films he personally directed, which he hoped to make money for DreamWorks, all caused DreamWorks to lose a lot.

Most of the films he produced were losing money, except for the animation masterpiece "Shrek 2" that shines around the world.

"Stephen, why did you come? You are only under sixty. If you want, you can make a better video." David Geffen looked at his friend in front of him and said, "If you don't have to worry about your damn performance and devote yourself to filming the film, it will definitely be better.

I think this is recognized by the whole world. As long as you want, you can do it!"

Jeffrey Carsonberg looked at his two partners, and the three of them worked together.

David Geffen's music department has been sold out, and now the animation department he built has come to an end. DreamWorks' difficult difficulties and huge debt pressure have forced him to choose to reach an agreement with the acquirer as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the post-production and promotional expenses of "Escape from the Clones" that DreamWorks focuses on creating will be dangerous. He really wants to get shares of Tube or Face Book, even if it requires less cash.

If it really doesn't work, you can get Miramax's shares, but Miramax firmly bites the shares and does not let go, and can give cash.

Now Miramax's price quote has reached US$900 million, and all of them are directly received and will not be paid separately.

900 million cash is a huge temptation for DreamWorks.

Except for Miramax, no one who came into contact with them was willing to pay so much cash directly. They chose to help DreamWorks take on part of their debts or use shares in DreamWorks animation department to reduce cash payments.

However, the shares and debts of DreamWorks animation department are not what DreamWorks want now. What they want most is cash to solve the current dilemma.

Ninety-million cash is also a huge sum of money for Miramax, but David Ellison and Ivanka Trump have found banks that are willing to lend to Miramax.

The bank is confident about Miramax's profitability and they are happy to help.

"Stephen, I think we should adjust our development strategy after this ended. We were so smooth before that we just forgot that the most important thing was to stabilize our position a little bit.

It seems that we quickly became the fastest rising giant in Hollywood history for a century, but in fact the soil under our feet is so bad that we will fall directly into the Pacific Ocean if we are not careful.

Reduce some investment and then focus on videos that can produce results.

In two years, I think we can regain our status.” Jeffrey Carsonberg said seriously.

The three of them already had a common idea about accepting Miramax's offer, but in the end they decided, they were reluctant to leave, just like the music department they sold.

"It will definitely be!" Stephen Spielberg closed his eyes.

Chen Tian, ​​who took Scarlett from Las Vegas to Hawaii for a holiday, returned to Los Angeles two days in advance, although he didn't want to come back so early.

However, it was related to the acquisition signing ceremony of DreamWorks animation department. Chen Tian, ​​who received the call, had to end his vacation early.

On September 10, 2004, this day in the history of film was recorded in history. Chen Tian, ​​as chairman of Miramax and the one who holds the most shares, appeared in the conference room of DreamWorks Film Building.

Under the gaze of everyone on the scene, they signed their own name on the contract.

DreamWorks Animation Division, the Hollywood animation giant that gave birth to Shrek, officially became a subsidiary of Miramax Films.

“Happy cooperation!”

Chen Tian and Spielberg held their hands together, and Spielberg, as a senior and a master, was mixed feelings. (To be continued...)
