North America is the most mature commercial film market in the world. Since the 1990s, the population of North America has not increased significantly, which means that the audience will not increase significantly. There are many viewers of a certain movie on the weekend, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the number of viewers in other films.

"Godzilla" has increased its publicity efforts, and Warner Bros. Of course, it cannot sit idly by.

However, compared to the various publicity strategies used by Sony Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., referring to Duke's suggestions, always uses the simplest and most direct way to deal with it.

"Godzilla" has a huge reputation, the audience exclaimed thrilling, and the monster fever continues to heat up."

This is the news hype created by Sony Columbia Pictures, and Warner Bros.’s response is that Godzilla is a native Japanese monster!

"Godzilla" has a box office of nearly 10 million US dollars on the first day, leading the summer season!"

"Godzilla is a native Japanese monster!"

The fastest update.uus. "When the male and female protagonists were frightened by Godzilla when they were filming a video."

"Godzilla is a native Japanese monster!"

"Monsters invaded Manhattan, and various landmark buildings were destroyed in front of Godzilla."

"Godzilla is a native Japanese monster!"

Cultural differences are objective facts, especially in North America, where isolationism is still very important. Although the Internet is rising now, it is far from the level of connecting the world. Foreign cultures are rejected on the big screen of North America. Not to mention Godzilla, the Japanese monster, the Western-style commercial film "Taxi Express" produced by Luc Besson, which is known as France's Hollywood director Luc Besson, is only a three-day tour of North American theaters.

As for the actual trends of Godzilla and the Matrix, the box office weekly published in the Los Angeles Times entertainment edition on Monday is clear at a glance.

"On the third weekend of May, the box office market in North America was still very hot. Although it did not achieve the feat of $20 million in the first three weekends. However, the market was able to continue to run at a high level under the two films of "The Matrix" and "Godzilla", which was almost the same as the same period last year when "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World". As of this weekend, the annual box office in North America has increased by 7% compared with the same period last year, and the situation is very good."

"Last weekend, Sony Columbia Pictures spent $140 million to create a heavyweight monster movie "Godzilla" came strongly. Faced with the previous box office and reputation "The Matrix", which had a bumper harvest of box office and reputation, the film closed at $8.42 million, $10.12 million and $8.25 million on Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively, and won $26.79 million in the first weekend!"

"However, this result is not enough to win the box office championship next week. This week's box office championship still belongs to the Matrix!"

"The sci-fi action film "The Matrix" jointly created by Warner Bros. and directed by the famous director Duke Rosenberg, the Nuggets are still strong the next weekend. Although facing the strong attack and competitive challenges of "Godzilla", the second weekend still scored $39.89 million, winning the weekend championship without any pressure. The box office in North America broke through the $150 million mark in one fell swoop, reaching $150.86 million!"

"The small-cost film "The Horse Whisperer" released by Bowei Pictures is the biggest surprise of this week. It beat the third weekend of "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" that came to the third weekend, and ranked third in the box office list with a box office of $13.68 million. DreamWorks' "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" continued to have a disappointing performance. It only earned 5.61 million US dollars in the third weekend, and the North American box office was 56.22 million US dollars. It is nowhere to be achieved when the cost is recovered."

"The same surprise comes from the Titanic, which has been released for more than half a year. This big ship seems to have no end. Last weekend, it collected another $3.56 million in 521 theaters, and the box office in North America has reached $632.55 million. Every step forward of this film is setting a new film history record!"

"It is not difficult to tell from the box office data that this weekend, "Godzilla" and "The Matrix" have joined forces to dominate the market. However, the responses of the two films in the audience have completely different directions."

"Since its release, "The Matrix" has led a craze of cyberpunk culture in North America and has been praised since its preview. Director Duke Rosenberg successfully combined philosophical thinking with science fiction elements, creating a new era of science fiction films. Even George Lucas believes that "The Matrix" will become a milestone in the history of science fiction films and its status will not be lower than that of "Star Wars".

"And this film that attracted the attention of fans is still very well received two weeks after it was released. The audience praise rate has always remained above 90%. The famous film and television website IDC also has an audience score of 9.5 points! With such a strong reputation, $200 million is definitely not the North American box office end of this science fiction film!"

"On the other hand, "Godzilla" has a pretty good box office in the first week, and it cannot ignore the reputation that has been falling all the way. On the day the film was released on a large scale, the audience's praise rate was only 63%. After the three days of the weekend, it fell to 58%. The audience scored on the film and television rating website IDCB was only a pitiful 5.6 points. Inferring that the North American box office of "Godzilla" can exceed 100 million US dollars, it is a victory!"

"The Matrix has achieved two consecutive championships in the summer box office list. North America is about to usher in Memorial Day. "The Peerless Tribulation" produced by Touchstone Pictures and released by Bowei Pictures is about to be released. We will wait and see whether this 140 million science fiction masterpiece can shake "The Matrix"."

Not only the North American market, but just this weekend, "The Matrix" began to land in overseas markets. The film's exterior scenes were all from Sydney and had a particularly strong response in Australia. It won $7.52 million in three days on the weekend, which was the first week box office result of Australian film history after "Titanic".

In the UK, the Matrix responded equally strongly, and the box office of $11.2 million in the first weekend was also good enough.

Looking around the world, the Internet is not yet prosperous. Some concepts in "The Matrix" will also cause difficulties in understanding for people who have not been exposed to the Internet. However, Duke did not discuss these two worlds in depth, but instead highlighted the strategy of playing cool and handsome, bringing advantages. Just looking at the actions and explosion scenes inside is enough to make people happy.

This weekend, "The Matrix" won $6.84 million in France, $7.85 million in Germany, $6.55 million in Spain, $5.67 million in Italy, $7.44 million in Russia, $7.11 million in Argentina, $7.26 million in Brazil, $5.66 million in Mexico...

Although "The Matrix" has not appeared in the Asian market, in one weekend, the film's overseas box office has accumulated a total of US$74.89 million, and the global box office easily exceeds US$220 million!

"Actually, the box office is nothing."

After discussing how to target Martin Bob, the topic in the office turned to The Matrix. Ino Martin said to Pat Kingsley, "The media and the public have ignored the surrounding income of The Matrix."

"Warner Bros. did not disclose the peripheral sales data from last weekend." Pat Kingsley poured herself a cup of coffee, "Ino, have you got the peripheral sales data from last weekend?"

"I got some rough peripheral statistics from The Matrix through my relationship with Warner."

After getting a piece of information, Ino Martin handed it over to Pat Kingsley, "You can take a look at it yourself. This time Warner Brothers and the Duke Studio are going to make a big profit."

"North America sold a total of about $25.6 million last weekend?"

Even Pat Kinsley was a little surprised, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, calmed down slightly, and said, "If I remember correctly, the sales of "The Matrix" in North America have exceeded 100 million."

"Yes, it's indeed over 100 million."

As if a little moved, Ino Martin rubbed his forehead and said, "I have a clear news that the Duke Studio signed an agreement with various manufacturers to take 30% of sales, which means that the $30 million commission can almost be considered profit."

"The profits of the surrounding areas of big-selling videos are becoming heavier and heavier." Jinsli sighed.

Ino Martin said again, "Don't forget, this is just North America! And the discs, videotapes and TV broadcast rights of "The Matrix" have not been sold yet. I think the peripheral profits of this film may exceed the box office profit!"

"Short-term peripherals within a year," he added.

Pat Kinsley nodded and thought for a while, "Not signing an agency contract with Duke Rosenberg back then is definitely the biggest decision-making mistake in AA's history."

"It's a pity that we didn't have the right to speak back then."

Speaking of this, Ino Martin's eyes flashed, "It's good that this is the better. The more successful Duke is, the more psychologically unbalanced the partners will feel. The more people should be responsible for the mistakes they made. The people who need to be responsible for this year's package project with Spielberg this year is not considered successful, and our opportunity is coming!"

Just not too far from the two's office, Martin Bob was frowning in the office where he was sitting alone. He worked with the most secure Spielberg, but it still couldn't get rid of the bad luck in the past few years. Success seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him. He was almost becoming a laughing stock of aa and became synonymous with failure.

With strong rivals outside and hungry wolf looking around inside, Martin Bob has already felt the crisis. Even if he is the largest shareholder among all AA partners, when the opposition is strong to a certain extent, there is only one way to step down in disgrace.

He didn't want to be kicked off as a loser like Michael Orwitz left Disney.

A small mistake a few years ago abandoned a seemingly inconspicuous little person, but now it has become the clarion call for death. Duke Rosenberg, is it really powerful enough to be invincible?

All those who can sit in the high position are those with a firm mind. Martin Bob does not intend to give up. (To be continued...)
