Hollywood What If Chapter 243

  Days go by and seven days have passed sihe premiere of Wahe movie performed a miracle at the box office, grossing 196.01 million in seven days.

  It was one of the fastest 100 million dolr movies of all time, along with Star Wars and other blockbusters.

  Only seven days passed and everyone khat the movie would tio make money after money. Produ costs broke even in just two days, as the budget was 75 million.

  While this was happening, Angelina Jolie had a dilemma about her situation.

  You see, Angelina Jolie had two big projects that she was involved in that were going to be released this year.

  First was Wanted, she had a lot of fun w with the crew... Especially Kazir, her heart was alounding when the guy was around. She loved teasing him, even though Kazir was stoic most of the time. And now Wanted robably the biggest winner of the year. The response was tremendous and she didn't regret signing the tract. Even her agent told her to keep a healthy retionship with Kazir.

  Her sed project was Gone In 60 Seds, with Nichos Cage as the lead actor and her in a supp role. When Angelina Jolie read the script, she felt that the plot was typical, but it seemed promising. In addition, Nichos Cage had already indicated that he would be the protagonist, so Angelina and her agent accepted the role. The sary was not bad.

  It was crazy that the produ cost of Gone In 60 Seds was 103 million, perhaps casting a superstar like Nichos Cage increased the budget a lot. It is estimated that Nichos Cage's sary was over 20 million. Maybe he also had a share of the box offibsp;

  Unfortunately, Dishe distributor and ior of Gone in 60 Seds, would probably suffer a serious situation.

  Even though there were seven days between the premiere of Wanted and the premiere of Gone in 60 Seds, the two movies would directly fight for a better position at the box offibsp;

  It was very bad felina Jolie because two of her movies were released within a week and both movies would ively affect each other.

  "Angelina, we heard that you and Kazir are together. Tell us about your love life."

  The reporter added something to spice up the red carpet interview. Tonight was the premiere of Gone in 60 Seds.

  "Kazir is such a nice guy, I love him very much. He said he wao go to the premiere of Gone In 60 Seds with me, but he is very busy promoting Wanted. In fact, I just got back from Texas to go to the premiere as well.

  "Being famous is super hard, right?" The reporter asked back.

  "Promoting a big movie is super hard."

  In fact, Kazir wao be with Angelina, but he was io be on The Oprah Winfrey Show and couldn't make it. Also, his retionship with Disney was not so good after he kept denying their iion to buy his script. On top of that, Wanted and Gone in 60 Seds had a rivalry based on their release dates.

  In fact, even Angelina Jolie felt the scrutiny of her co-stars. Her roles in both movies were important and she clearly had a side she supported the most... She felt unwele at this premiere. But she had to walk the red carpet because she had signed a tract to do so.

  Life was hard... But not for Wanted.

  The first day (Friday, June 9) of Gone in 60 Seds grossed 8.40 million.

  Wanted grossed 18.54 million on the same day.

  The sed day (June 10, Saturday) of Gone in 60 Seds grossed 9.47 million.

  Wanted grossed 24.84 million on the same day.

  The third day (Sunday, June 11) of Gone in 60 Seds grossed 7.45 million. The first week of the movie had a total of 25.33 million at the box offibsp;

  As for Wahe film grossed 18.95 million on Sunday. The sed weekend of Wanted grossed 62.33 million.

  The total ten-day sing of Wanted was 258.36 million.

  There was o pare the two movies. Based on the numbers alone, Gone in 60 Seds faced a strong oppo and easily lost the battle.

  The studio panies felt that the movies ing out in June would be heavily influenced by Wanted. Wanted would dominate Juhat was for sure.

  .........

  ......

  ...

  "After Taken, I never uimate Kazir, I know he is a director worthy of our attention. I even tried to invite him to work with us. But things just didn't work out."

  Michael Eisner muttered to himself. His position was being dangerous. The board of directors and the shareholders didn't like the fact that he now had all the power over Walt Dishey wao expel him, which he didn't want to happen.

  He was actually against releasing Gone in 60 Seds the week after Wanted because he knew Wanted had the upper hand. But the schedule acked and most of the weekends were already taken by the other studio panies.

  "Those bunch of ingrates sabotaged me and voted for the schedule of Gone in 60 Seds. They want to bme me when the movie fails. I have to do something about it..."

  Suddenly, his vision caught a script that was in the process of being approved by ma. It was the Barsoom series.

  "No, this project is for a ematiiverse..."

  He recalled a rumor that Kazir was looking to take a break from the tial ematiiverse. Rumors that Kazir wao direct a Warner Brothers or 20th tury Fox projebsp;

  "It should be Harry Potter or Star Wars... We 't let that happen, Kazir should work for Dishis time."

  The old Michael stood up and got motivated. He had to make sure that Kazir would work for Disney.

  "For someone like him, a 20+20 tract is a no-brainer."

  What he didn't know was that all the Big Six had the same iion. They all wao work with Kazir Grey.
