With the students returning to school and the beginning of the new semester, the annual summer film box office battle in Hollywood has also come to an end. Despite the economic downturn, the summer film box office in North America in 2007 still set an all-time record.

The previous summer box office record holder was in 2004, with a box office record of $4.16 billion under the bombardment of blockbusters such as Spider Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, transformers and Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix.

The leading position of Spider Man 3 has been very stable, and the following nine players have no room to catch up. After the millennium, only the summer champions in 2001 (HA 1) and 2003 (Lord of the rings 3) have failed to reach the annual champion, so if there are no strong opponents in the Christmas file, Spider Man 3 can basically determine the throne of the annual champion.

The Christmas file has always been a time of strong players. After the millennium, in addition to contributing two annual champions, there are many people who can disrupt the war situation. Needless to say, the HA series and the Lord of the rings series have also killed monster company, meet father-in-law 2, Superman special attack team, the legend of King Narnia, King Kong and museum night in the past six years And a number of powerful works, but judging from the situation in the last four months of this year, it seems that there are no films that can threaten the throne of Spider Man 3.

Dark matter: the Golden Compass seems to be the most likely, but since it is the opening work of the magic series, it is to take the Lord of the rings 1 and the legend of Narnia as a reference system. The final box office of the two are 310 million and 290 million respectively. Even if an average value is taken, the final harvest of dark matter may stop at about 300 million, which is difficult to compare with Spider Man 3 The revenue of "national treasure" is 170 million, and the fluctuation of the sequel will not be too large. Will Smith's highest achievement is 300 million of "Independence Day", but several people will believe that "I am legend" can reach that height. As for "golden age", "American Gangster", "Captain America", "hangover 2", "Charlie's war"... It is unlikely.

In this way, even if the evaluation of Spider Man 3 is far from as good as that of the second film, it is a foregone conclusion that spider man 3 has ascended the throne of this year's box office by virtue of its strategy of winning the enemy's first chance and its long suppressed viewing enthusiasm that swept the audience as soon as it opened.

The second part of the green monster Shrek series once stepped on Spider Man 2 with an overwhelming advantage, and now the third part only ranks second with a gap of 30 million. However, considering that only 60% of the cost of Spider Man 3 is used, Shrek 3 has a good record.

The competition for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Transformers" is extremely fierce, and the victory and defeat is only a millimetre. The unsatisfactory performance of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is a bit unexpected. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was too fast last year to hide their ears. The jingling trend is still in sight. This year, it is in danger of being squeezed out of the top three. Regardless of the quality of the film, many people think Disney is a little anxious. It's better to wait for a year or two, Today's schedule divides an independent film into two episodes. The lesson of hacker 23 is that in the past four years, the Pirates of the Caribbean series has fallen into this pit again.

Transformers is the darkest movie in this summer. It's much better to talk about nostalgia and special effects. It was defeated at the foot of the green monster by only 14 million. Now it has to fight with the Pirates of the Caribbean for summer flowers.

The journey of "Harry Potter 5" is still going on. It is still unknown who will win the box office PK with "Harry Potter 4", but the media think the quality of "Harry Potter 4" is better than "Harry Potter 5". As the thickest film in the original book, the order of the Phoenix, the film length is only one minute longer than the shortest ha 3. A large number of plot cuts and changes make it difficult to maximize the display of the whole picture of the original book. Some people even think that the Harry Potter series might as well learn from the brothers into a TV series, so that the plot can be more displayed, It is estimated that the effect will not be worse than now.

"Rat king" is about to pass the 200 million mark, but the 249 million Pixar average is hopeless. Unfortunately, with such high praise, can't little mouse really be a chef? The phenomenon of Simpson is difficult to understand. Technology can't decide everything. Simpson is a good example.

"Professional secret service team 3" and "bold Dragon 4" are one person's films. The difference is that the former is just popular, while Bruce is trying his best to save his past trend. It is undeniable that both films are good and are action films close to reality.

"One night's belly" is a hero who has made great contributions. A really good plot film will be truly reflected in the box office value. "Wedding pride" is a precedent. This year, it's the turn of "one night's belly". It's no problem to successfully reach the top 10.

Despite the defeat of "cooking rat king", mm is still the biggest winner. Two beimi broke 300 million works. This year, beimi appeared for the first time. Four beimi broke 300 million works, which is the best in film history. During the summer, MM's six works hit the box office of $1.1 billion, accounting for a quarter of the share, and reached the billion club ahead of schedule. The championship of this year is stable.

This is 400 million away from the second place Disney. The new mm has always demonstrated the strength of haoxiong and competed for the box office champion of global film companies. Mm has become the company with the most film and television assets on the planet because of the integration of MGM and Columbia film. At the beginning, sonny worked hard for this goal, but choked himself in the process of annexing MGM.

At the beginning, the competition for Martin's film and television assets was to compete for the largest film library and its related copyright.

If Mark hadn't colluded with Martin, its real value would be between 15 billion and 17 billion. It is possible to quote repeatedly for such a huge transaction in a few days and months, but Martin is selling at a fast price. There is no ghost among them. No one believes it.

However, even the Morgan consortium, Martin's old owner, could not find out what benefits Martin had received from the competition. Instead, Martin did not receive any benefits. On the contrary, Martin gave away yachts and luxury houses when Mark got married, and even lovers. The benefit was that mark did not give any substantive feedback to Martin.

Morgan concluded that Martin Davis was really paying for his help.

In this operation, they made a profit of more than 5 billion, which was in line with expectations. Even if they sold at a low price, they did not lose money, but made less money. Morgan was embarrassed to blame a person who wanted to repay his kindness. Moreover, Martin succeeded in a series of subsequent investments, and everyone made a lot of money. This little thing is not listed.

But what annoyed Morgan recently was that a subprime mortgage crisis was imminent, and Davis fund made a lot of money. When many financial companies, consortia and banks on wall street lined up to fail, he struggled with Davis fund day by day and mastered a large number of futures contracts.

Martin soundless and stirless in the subprime mortgage market, but he did not know his parent company. The subprime market was so hot that Morgan's group had always been the biggest promoter.

Now that the market collapse is imminent, they are facing huge losses. Coupled with these futures index contracts, the Morgan consortium will face huge losses and lose its position.

Morgan pleaded guilty and called Martin: "I need an explanation."

Martin's voice came from one end of the phone: "the return is 400% and the rate of return is the first in the world. I don't think there is anything to explain."

Morgan said angrily, "you actually short the subprime mortgage market?"

Martin said, "the last straw to crush the camel, but can a single straw crush the camel?"

Morgan said: "as the top management of the company, how can you be so ignorant of the overall situation? In such a major investment, bypass the company and do things by yourself."

Martin said: "looking at the data model and memo I handed in in February this year, you will find that this is a script, and everything happens irresistibly like fate."

In fact, the company's subordinates upload a large number of data models every day every year, and there are a variety of investment plans. An excellent investment plan is inconspicuous.

Morgan said, "we should talk face to face and meet in the company in the afternoon."

Martin said: "I have no interest in these mundane things. As for the loss of the company, it's not my fault. The root cause is greedy human nature. The only way is to break my arm and stop the loss."

Morgan said, "you have been absent from the company's senior joint meetings many times."

Martin said, "so? No one will believe the truth. Only when bad luck comes will they look for a straw."

"So it's very necessary for us to talk face to face to solve the gap between us," Morgan said

Martin said, "I handed over the perfect report card. In view of the difficulties of the company, I didn't ask for the company's reward."

"We want to hear your views on the current economy," Morgan said

"I'm sorry, the financial crisis is inevitable. There's nothing I can do about it," Martin said, and hung up.

Morgan looked gloomy. He called his assistant and said, "send someone to invite Mr. Davis. Don't be rude, let alone hurt our guests."

"Yes, sir," said Schmidt, an assistant with a cold face

If Martin is not allowed to hand over his money and futures contracts, the Morgan consortium will not escape the difficulties. I'm afraid it will end in bankruptcy. The financial system built by the Morgan consortium will collapse. This is unacceptable. It's time to shear the wool and give up.

Schmidt immediately made a phone call, a military transport plane was dispatched urgently, and a team of heavily armed and tough soldiers were ready.

Military aircraft flew over Martin's house. Several soldiers jumped out in a glider and went straight to Martin's house.
