I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 268

[Chapter 263 The biggest dark horse]

?

Although the reviews of “Home Alone 2” were polarized, it did not stop the sequel’s strong end to the wild harvest at the box office.

In the first three days of the first weekend, “Home Alone 2” received a box office of 31 million US dollars in more than 2,200 theaters in North America. After the first week of release, the film’s total box office reached more than 46 million. , far exceeding the first week’s result of more than 27 million for the first film, and other Hollywood film companies are all frightened, for fear that “Home Alone 2” will break the box office record created by the first film.

And this week’s second place is Warner’s “Lethal Weapon 2”. Although it has more than 1,900 canvases, it only got more than 25 million box office, which is comparable to “Home Alone 2” ” is a little more than half.

Paramount’s black comedy “Harlem Nightclub” came in third with $22 million.

Although “Home Alone 2” earned $46 million at the box office, it’s not too surprising. The most surprising movie in the first week of Thanksgiving is that The “Steel Magnolia” that has been neglected.

Seriously, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is ignored.

After all, this is Julia’s first film after the great success of “Pretty Woman”, so it has received considerable attention.

But compared to the vigorous promotion of New Year’s films such as “Home Alone 2”, “Lethal Weapon 2” and “Back to the Future 2”, this drama starring Julia is about the ordinary lives of several women in a southern town. The strength is too weak.

So, while Steel Magnolia only made $17 million in its first week and came in at No. 4 on the box office charts, this movie is undoubtedly the biggest one of the New Year’s calendar. black horse.

Because compared to 1,000 opening screens, “Steel Magnolia” earned an astonishing $17,000 per screen in the first week on average, and the attendance rate was terrifying.

Except that Home Alone 2’s average $20,000 is a bit higher than Steel Magnolia.

“Lethal Weapon 2” is only $13,000, and “Harlem Nightclub” is in the early $10,000s, just reaching the bar for a blockbuster movie.

Next.

Under the impact of a wave of newly released films, the box office of “Island Cry” fell by 41% this week.

It earned $14.75 million at the box office, barely making it into the top five.

Universal’s “Back to the Future 2″ only received more than 13 million US dollars at the box office. Instead of putting the film on November 17th, nor on November 24th the following week, it was put on the embarrassing November 22nd, just the day before Thanksgiving.

Speaking of Thanksgiving.

Eric’s Naoren couldn’t help but feel the pain. While receiving gratifying box office data every day, Eric’s villa in Beverly Hills was also jumping around.

As the most important holiday in the United States after Christmas, Thanksgiving is a day for family reunion.

Of course Drew couldn’t have gone back to Culver to spend Thanksgiving with her mother.

And Aniston, after her parents divorced, they reorganized the family, half-brother, half-brother, etc., that’s a mess, plus the little girl is already an adult, no matter where she goes Either side felt very uncomfortable celebrating Thanksgiving.

After complaining to Eric intentionally or unintentionally, Eric invited Xiaoyi to come to his house for Thanksgiving.

Originally thought that Aniston would not agree, but did not expect to agree this time.

As a result, Eric, who was sitting in front of the computer in the study but had no mind to work, felt very self-sufficient.

It can also neutralize something, but the two baby bumps are both fire attributes.

The only thing that made Eric happy was that the two girls stopped fighting.

Staring at the document for half an hour without typing any words, Eric turned off the computer bored, walked out of the study, and heard a voice downstairs from a distance.

Bitchi. Call me a fat girl again, and I’ll just touch it.” “…”

After a brief pause.

Aniston’s frightened and disgusting voice immediately came: “Wow, it’s so disgusting, you actually touch your saliva on the pillow.” “You can rely on it!” “Go away, stay away from me, oops, don’t change the channel, give me the remote control, I’m learning to make pumpkin pie.” “Who dares to eat it? Ah, the salmon omelette you made yesterday was unpalatable.” I had a stomach upset in the middle of the night.” “You are talking nonsense, Eric and I are fine!” Back in the study, I picked up the phone and dialed the numbers at will, calling them one by one.

Virginia is home with her parents for the holidays, and Nicole is in Chicago on a promotional tour for Sleepless in Seattle.

Even Julia was not in Los Angeles, and finally, bored, Eric dialed Jeffrey’s number.

“Hey, this is Hansen’s house.” After the call was connected, Eric was stunned, because it wasn’t Jeffrey’s voice, but a young man.

Immediately, Eric thought that the other party might be Jeffrey’s son, Chris Hansen.

“I’m Eric Williams, may I ask who you are?” Although he was 80% sure, Eric still asked.

The other end of the phone paused, then said, “I’m Chris Hansen, Mr. Williams, are you looking for my dad? I’ll call him right away.” Eric and the other party didn’t know each other and didn’t say anything. After a while, Jeffrey’s voice rang from the other end of the phone: “Eric, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so call at this time. Is there anything wrong with the phone? Let’s say it first, Chris finally came back once, and brought his girlfriend home, so I won’t take care of the big things. If there is anything in the company, you can go to Robert.” Eric was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “It’s nothing, but I’m bored at home, so I just dialed your number to chat with you.” ; Geoffrey asked strangely: “Shouldn’t that little girl Drew be at your house now? With that quirky little girl there, would you still be bored?” “How do I say it, Jenny came to my house too. So, you understand.”

Of course Jeffrey knew what Eric was talking about. He and Eric had seen the two little girls scratching each other on the hospital bed with his own eyes.

After a pause, Jeffrey immediately laughed: “Hahaha, Eric, why did you put them together again?” (To be continued)
