Hollywood What If Chapter 262

  June was tough for everyone, not just Sony-bia, but even the Big Six. Hell, even Grey Pictures was going to have trouble this month.

  And why is that? Because so many movies were ing out that month. Even if they didn't want to, those movies were going to have to fight to make mohe promotion this month was so fierce that every TV el romoting movies.

  The first weekend in June was dominated by Spider-Man. This was the only schedule Sony-bia could find for the movie. Every week acked with big movies.

  In faext week, starting June 8, a new batovies will be released. This time, Walt Disney, DreamWorks and Warner Bros. would release their movies on the same night.

  Walt Disney would release their animated movie titled Atntis: The Lost Empire. A very ued hand-drawn animated film.

  DreamWorks would release Evolution, a edy.

  While Warner Bros. released Swordfish, an aovie.

  These movies did well during the week. Unfortunately for them, it was hard to pete with a superhero movie that had great special effects. There was something about superhero movies that people loved so much at that time.

  To make matters worse, the word of mouth about Spider-Man was nothing but positive. Almost no one had anything bad to say about it. Kids, teens, and even adults praised the movie. This led to a massive increase in ticket sales.

  The fact that the director of this movie was also the director of Wanted made it eveer. Wanted was so huge st year, 1 billion at the box office. Of course it would get that much attention. So Spider-Man joihe fun.

  After 10 days iers, Spider-Man made 223.04 million! Damn, how a movie make that mu just ten days?

  Was the movie really that good? Or was director Kazir Grey just so talehat he could make any movie shine?

  Spider-Man's path was smooth sailing. Tobey Maguire and the rest of the Spider-Man cast easily became superstars because of the attention Spider-Man got.

  Even Willem Dafoe, who risked his career to py a vilin, had a good day. Now the studios realized that the guy could py many roles, from a good assassin to the vilin of a superhero movie.

  Unfortunately, while Spider-Man was at his peak, Kazir Grey could not help but be sad about some things.

  On June 15, Paramount Pictures joihe battle with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, starring Angelina Jolie... A very hard time for the couple.

  In fact, Kazir and Angelina had a little fight.

  "This is the sed time this has happened. Last time it was Gone in 60 Seds. And now it's Lara Croft."

  Angelina grumbled as she cuddled with her man. She hated that Paramount chose June as release date. They should have rescheduled it away from Spider-Man. Angelina was fident that Kazir's movie would domihe month.

  "We 't help it. We're just a worker and we 't influence ma. Besides, Paramount 't find the right week to release the movie. In July, Legally Blonde, Jurassic Park 3, P of the Apes and Cats and Dogs will be released."

  "So are you saying that I should stomach it instead?" She raised her brow.

  "Of course not, you y shoulder instead."

  He teased the woman by toug her nose.

  "Tch, I 't hate you because you're so hot."

  The woman touched the man's abs and pyfully pihem. Well, the first week of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider retty good. It made 47.73 million in its first weekend.

  But the parison with Spider-Man retty brutal. The superhero film grossed 289.88 million.

  Numbers. Looking at those numbers was numbing, but the amount it represented was eous. You could buy 170 McLaren Elva's with that amount!

  To be fair, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was only out for three days while Spider-Man was out for 18 days. However, the first three days of Spider-Man grossed 114.84 million, so... Yes, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was nothing pared to the glory of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

  "Now that I think about it, are you going to be okay? week is Fast and The Furious. Spider-Man and Fast and The Furious might collide."

  Sony-bia was responsible for distributing Fast and The Furious, and they decided to release the film on June 22, the same day 20th tury Fox would release Dr. Dolittle 2.

  "Like I said before, I 't help it. It's already fortuhat Sony-bia chose the summer schedule to release two of our movies."

  In fact, Kazir Grey fought for this oute. He didn't want to jeopardize his two movies, so it was better to release them before September.

  Fast and The Furious in June and John Wick Chapter 2 in August. This was the schedule Kazir fought for.

  Fortunately, Sony-bia didn't want to sour their retionship, so they agreed. Besides, Sony-bia had nothing big to release this year except Spider-Man.

  Kazir hoped his hard work would pay off. He remembered that in his past life, after the success of Avengers, most of the Marvel movies made good profits.

  If his calcution was correct, Fast and The Furious and John Wick Chapter 2 would receive the same treatment. He really hoped so... That would be another way to increase their worth. The mood movies, the more chips they could use.

  Just like that, June 22 came and Kazir had to attend the premiere. Even though he was not active on this project because he was w on Spider-Man, he made sure to attend the post-produ. He had to watch the footage so he knew what was going on.

  "I won't lie, the effect of the C Fast and The Furious was so serious."

  [I skipped the synopsis for Spider-Man, since all of us here have already seen it. Yes, I think we have all seen Spider-Man (2002). This movie was the biggest superhero of the early 2000s and I strongly believe that all of us watched it at least once].
