"Invincible" only won 2.23 million box office on the first Monday, and the total box office accumulated to 16.96 million. This performance is in line with the usual trajectory. At present, it seems that 60 million should be the highest limit of the total box office. ⊙ Apex Fiction, x.

At the same time, to make matters worse, the foreign box office is also quite bleak, which is in stark contrast to "Royal **", which has been rising at the box office due to the fermentation of word of mouth.

Daniel's move on Monday morning found a new entry point for the media.

"Forever is still underperforming, seeing no sign of a turnaround, and even the most confident forecasters of Daniel have had to cut their box office estimates for the film. It seems that Forever has already There is no doubt that it has become Daniel's first 'failure'.

However, Daniel himself does not seem to admit the defeat. Daniel, who has never responded positively to the film's poor box office, seems to have responded to the remarks on mb that he had failed to promote his failure. He said that he had a dream on Sunday night, dreaming of the hero of "Invincible", the legend Country singer John Cash, John told him in a dream, "Forever" will not fail. We don't know if Daniel actually had a dream of John Cash at this extreme coincidence, and if John really meant that his legendary movie still had hope.

But at present, it seems that the excited female fans who were stimulated by his "**photos" can't change the fate of this movie.

It's safe to say, however, that "Forever" is still well-received by serious critics, whether it's Daniel's John or Witherspoon's Joan Carter. Daniel will still continue his Oscar nomination journey, which is a high probability event, so he may just lose his magic at the commercial box office. There is still unshakable competitiveness for Oscar. "

The follow-up report of the "Washington Post" can be said to be a landmark event in which the media held a "pessimistic" tone.

When Ron Mayer attended the release ceremony of the first trailer of the movie "Black Swan", he only gave a simple answer to the questions from the media.

"I've seen that movie, Daniel's performance was the best performance of the year, and I don't think there's any regrets for not saying anything to him."

However, Mayer's brief, and apparently not positive response, was also taken as a sign of loss of confidence within MGM and DD Pictures - this time, in the public opinion atmosphere created by the media. It seems that only Daniel himself is still "stubbornly" expecting a miracle to happen.

...

Berkeley campus.

Stiller Rose and Lola sit together for lunch rather surprisingly.

After Daniel left Berkeley, Lola also coincidentally reduced the number of chance encounters with Stiller to this day.

"Oh, Daniel is back to school?"

"Really?"

Lola looked natural, not ashamed of Stiller's innuendo at all, in fact, she didn't do anything bad, "I just want to chat with you, and now search for Daniel's news. It's all "Forever" failures and failures Failing, doesn't Daniel... feel bad?"

Stiller, a careless lad with a lack of interest in film itself, has been busy with his own projects all this time—sports is also a relatively unfamiliar territory to him. Although he also plays basketball, he spends most of his spare time on the former project.

"I am not very sure."

"You don't know? Have you not communicated?"

"You expect Daniel, who makes thousands of dollars a minute, to chat with me from time to time?"

Stiller looked at the Berkeley beauty with disdain. "Don't worry. Daniel will be fine. He never loses, does he?"

"Isn't it "Invincible"?"

"How much was the film invested. How much was it at the box office?"

Lola was stunned, "It was only released on the fourth day, and now it is 17 million, and the investment is said to be about 40 million."

"You understand pretty well," Stiller put the last piece of meat into his mouth, swallowed it, and let out a comfortable sigh. "Why say it's a failure since it's only on its fourth day?"

"You have absolutely no idea about the box office, and if you only get that much in the first weekend, don't expect a better box office unless a miracle happens."

"Are there any miracles that happened to Daniel? Why won't this be a new miracle?"

"..." Lola opened her mouth and couldn't refute, although in her opinion, it was ridiculous to expect a miracle to happen in "Invincible". But it's true that she couldn't speak to Stiller's question. Daniel's achievement itself is one of the greatest miracles, and in that case, nothing is impossible.

There was silence for a while, until Stiller tapped on his empty plate, signaling that he had finished eating, and Lola responded.

"But simply waiting for a miracle is not a positive approach."

Spreading his hands, Stiller said that he agreed with this sentence, but he had no positive suggestions.

...

On the fifth day of the release of "Invincible", the total box office totaled 19.5 million, and the single-day box office on Tuesday showed a 14.7% drop compared to Monday.

Daniel received a rare message from his roommate - f2f's amazing online desktop instant messaging system, this system poses a little challenge to instant systems such as msn, although it is not that significant, and the gap between the two sides is still huge.

"Hey Daniel, see that."

Stiller sent a few pictures over.

The photo is of a lawn in Berkeley, with stereos, keyboards, bass, guitars, and, of course, a mic stand—a live band performing.

But the band members are special.

The home is Lola, and the other members are all Berkeley beauties.

On the billboard next to it, it was written in highlighter.

"John Cash and Joan Carter Classic Concert!"

"Let's go and see "Invincible"!"

"Love comes first!"

It turned out to be a promotion for "Invincible", although the effect is definitely not very good, but Daniel was surprised, but still very moved.

"Help me thank Lola and them, those beautiful girls."

"no problem!"

Stiller sent an "ok" emoji, which was a gesture. It belonged to a set of emoji packages developed by the chat system. It was simple and expressive and used a lot.

"Invincible" has its first reversal~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This has caused some changes. The most direct one is the number of screens vacated by the theater line for old films, adding 150 yuan to "Invincible", from 2961 yuan It rose to 3,116 yuan—of course, there is the strength of the staff, as well as the direct communication between David and the theater owner.

But public opinion didn't change opinions easily, and the box office on Monday was lower than on Tuesday, which is nothing new.

From vacation to work, many people will lose interest in watching movies on Mondays.

Most of the industry peers think so, at least Robert Iger does.

The North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" ushered in the last account period of the release period - "Pirates", which was close to 460 million at the North American box office, earned about 220 million for the producer - this basically flattened the cost. . So dd Pictures has received the investment spent on "Pirates 2" - 75 million. The global box office and profits in other window periods will be calculated separately, but the net profit is so high that there is no need to doubt it. (To be continued.)

ps: Congratulations to everyone in advance for a happy new year, grades and wages have skyrocketed.
