At present, the North American box office of "The Mummy" is close to 300 million U.S. dollars.

Although the box office curve has been affected to a certain extent due to the impact of "Star Wars: The Threat of Ghosts", it is easy to reach 300 million.

As for whether the North American box office can reach 400 million, it depends on luck.

——After all, even Charlotte, it is not easy to get the North American box office of the film to reach 400 million U.S. dollars.

However, even this achievement has already amazed many film critics.

——On the one hand, they were surprised at the fact that almost every Charlotte film would hit the box office, on the other hand, they used "The Mummy" as an excuse to attack "Star Wars Episode 1".

After all, for fans, passersby, or film critics, "Star Wars: The Threat of Ghosts" is a disappointment.

Many extreme fans even issued various threats to George Lucas.

——It is said that the Skywalker farm where Lucas lives has received a large number of blades and some bullets.

To this end, George Lucas quickly improved his security level.

——You know, John Lennon was killed by his fans. For the threats from enthusiastic fans, it is better to believable.

And film critics are not as irrational as fanatical fans.

In fact, they also know that even if the current reputation is very poor, as long as it bears the title of "Star Wars", this "Phantom Threat" is destined to sell well at the box office.

But there is a chance to get sick of George Lucas, why not?

When "Star Wars" was just released, the faces of all film critics including Roger Albert were swollen.

Careful film critics now have the opportunity to retaliate, how can they give up?

It just so happens that Charlotte's "The Mummy" has a good box office record, and it can be called a strong opponent of "Star Wars: Prequel 1". Film critics praised "The Mummy" and took the opportunity to belittle George Lucas.

"...We have to admit that with the passage of time, the big directors of the past have gradually become old, while the new generation of directors is rising. As in the comparison between "Star Wars Episode 1" and "The Mummy", we You will find that this is the difference between the afterglow of the setting sun and the rising sun..."

-There are many similar comments. Charlotte didn't know how George Lucas felt after watching it, but guessed it was not very good.

But Charlotte and Lucas didn't have much friendship either.

——To some extent, his Ghost Party studio and Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic Company are competitors in the field of film special effects.

So Charlotte did not plan to call Lucas to communicate.

On the other hand, Charlotte knows very clearly that even with such a big difference in word-of-mouth, "The Mummy" may not be able to surpass the North American box office results of "Star Wars Prequel 1".

——After all, the huge popularity and fan base accumulated in the "Star Wars" series over more than two decades cannot be underestimated.

However, although it may not be able to win, Charlotte did not prevent film critics from comparing "The Mummy" with "Star Wars Episode 1".

Because it is indeed profitable.

——According to a recent questionnaire survey, many viewers of "The Mummy" are fans of the "Star Wars" series.

Although they are also dissatisfied with "Star Wars: Prequel 1", after seeing film critics compare "The Mummy", they still have a mentality of "this is a bad movie, and it's our bad movie".

Disturbed "Star Wars" fans wanted to see the movie "The Mummy", picking out the faults by the way, and many people fell in love with the movie after watching it.

"Although I am a fan of "Star Wars", "The Mummy" is really good!"

Many people wrote this in the questionnaire survey.

This caused a slight rebound in the box office curve of "The Mummy".

In the same period, the box office of "Star Wars: The Threat of Ghosts" was not affected.

It can be said that in this box office battle that was provoked by film critics, "Star Wars: Prequel 1" was not damaged, and "The Mummy" received a small benefit. On the contrary, other movies released in the same period have suffered. Not as expected.

"This is simply a copy of the case where Wang Laoji and Jiaduobao are dying in a battle for market share!"

Charlotte can only give this evaluation.

He actually knows that in the current form, there should be market personnel from Universal Pictures secretly working on it, but the copyright of the movie "The Mummy" belongs to Universal after all, and he will not go too far.

At present, the corporate reorganization of the Ghost Party Studio has been fully completed.

Now, Charlotte continues to prepare for the filming of "The Detective Sherlock Holmes," while operating frequently on the stock market.

This is not because he wants to learn from Buffett or Soros.

It is purely that with the bursting of the Internet economic bubble at the end of the 20th century, more and more related companies’ stock prices have plummeted, and even financial difficulties have occurred.

This became an opportunity for Charlotte ~lightnovelpub.net~ Because he knew the future, he had already sold most of the stocks that might fall in advance and made a lot of money.

Although there is a more exciting gambling game like short selling in the U.S. stock market, Charlotte is not a financial expert after all, so he will not challenge the limit.

He is currently holding the funds in his account, buying the bottom of those stocks that will rise sharply in the future.

——Apple needless to say, Netflix is ​​also his goal, and there are other well-known companies in the future.

And the IMAX company that Charlotte has been staring at, finally, because of the decline in stock price, there is an opportunity for him to become the owner.

——Someone on the IMAX board of directors, because the company's profitability is still low, plans to sell their own stocks in order to change to a more promising company.

Charlotte took the opportunity to take over.

Combined with the scattered stocks he had previously absorbed, his shares in IMAX have exceeded 20%. Although he cannot absolutely control it, it is not a problem to win the seat of the major shareholder of the board of directors and compete for the position of chairman.

As a big director, after he proposed that he would use IMAX technology to shoot his own new film, the members of the IMAX company board of directors also welcomed him.

——No way, although IMAX's technology is good, it is not currently the mainstream of the movie market.

Now, the main use of this technology is some planetariums or something. Most of the screened science and educational films about the starry sky or the universe...

It can be said that the people of IMAX have been eyeing the big cake of the movie market for a long time. Now that a big director has become their own person and is willing to take them to play together, they naturally support it with all four limbs.
