As the only survivor of Hollywood's beimi film market this weekend, 2012 not only dominates the weekend box office, but also grossed $225 million at the opening box office around the world.

The production cost of the disaster film 2012, which advocates the end of the world, is as high as US $200 million, which is comparable to this year's summer blockbuster Transformers 2. According to the estimation of the box office statistics agency, the cumulative harvest in the three days of the premiere was 65 million US dollars, dominating the box office of beimi weekend. However, compared with the appalling achievement of 200 million in the first week of Transformers 2, it is really not enough.

This achievement ranks second in the disaster films directed by Emmerich, second only to the day after tomorrow, another apocalyptic film five years ago. The latter opened with a box office of $69 million, but the day after tomorrow happens to be on Memorial Day holiday.

The greater success of "2012" comes from overseas. The total box office of the global Premiere is as high as US $225 million! The total box office of the film at the first weekend has exceeded the total investment. No wonder Leighton, chairman of Columbia film, shouted that this was "a very huge victory".

The success of 2012 in overseas markets is no accident. Emmerich's films have always been box office favorites in overseas markets. In 1996, his classic disaster film Independence Day made more than $900 million at the box office worldwide, becoming Emmerich's most successful film so far. More than 500 million of the box office of the film came from overseas; The day after tomorrow, which was released five years ago, grossed 540 million US dollars worldwide, accounting for two-thirds of the overseas market; The overseas income of ten thousand years ago is also twice that of the North rice market. Emmerich has a gold lettered signboard overseas.

In order to cater to the huge overseas market, 2012 has a large number of international elements: the ark to save human survivors is made in China; Indian scientists took the lead in discovering earth anomalies; Russian billionaires flee gambling cities; The statue of Jesus collapsed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; The queen of England hobbled to the ark; Copies of the Mona Lisa are hung in the Louvre in France. The "BRICs" and Europe are the largest overseas market for Hollywood films.

However, in the film, the important task of saving the world has to be borne by American scientists, American officials and American citizens. "2012" is a film that makes film critics love and hate. On the one hand, the shocking effect created by the film relying on special effects is amazing: Los Angeles fell to the Pacific Ocean in the earthquake; Yellowstone Park was swallowed by volcanic lava; The White House was destroyed by an aircraft carrier overturned by the tsunami; On the other hand, the film has also been criticized for its simple plot and deja vu, but the story is not what the audience expected of Emmerich's works.

In front of 2012, other films in beimi market seem to have entered the end of the world. Apart from the slightly better performance of last weekend's champion "Christmas Carol", none of the other films grossed more than $7 million. Christmas Carol ranked second with $22 million, and George Clooney's thriller comedy "killing with eyes" ranked third; Treasure, a popular film in the Olympic bid, jumped to No. 4 at the box office; Michael Jackson's documentary "that's it" ranks fifth, and the last nine are not as good as it.

According to MM's prediction, the global box office of 2012 will exceed 800 million. In this way, mm has three blockbusters exceeding 800 million this year, which makes them firmly ranked as the global champion. This year, mm alone won $4 billion at the global box office, ranking first in the global film company. The film and its surrounding business make mm group earn $11 billion a year, ranking first for three consecutive years.

A series of positive results made MM's share price rise all the way, which made shareholders smile.

After attending the company's annual financial meeting, Mark's assistant reported, "Homeland Security Secretary Jerry Williams asked for an interview."

Jerry led dozens of his agents to come and talk about the attack with mark in an open name. He was the only one who really entered Mark's office. Mark didn't have an administrative position, but his status would never be lower than Jerry, so Jerry was the only one who could enter the office and talk, while others waited in the reception room and the door, Of course, Mark's office provided them with food and drinks, and took some interested people to visit the MM honor room.

Mark and Jerry shook hands politely.

Jerry sighed, "you are much more powerful than my cabinet member, the Secretary of homeland security."

Mark said, "what would you like to drink?"

Jerry said, "coffee!"

Mark made two cups of coffee and said, "it's so urgent!"

Jerry said, "I'm on pins and needles now. You have a good relationship with the president. I hope you can speak for us and ease our relationship."

Mark said: "how to ease? What Ao Guanhai wants to hold more is Morgan's thigh. They are the big owner of the Democratic Party, and we are the spokesman of Martin. It's normal for him to cross the river and tear down the bridge. It's difficult for anyone to lose face when it involves a dispute over positions."

Jerry sighed, "there's no way?"

Mark said, "why should we look at his face?"

Jerry said, "it's easy for you to say. You're not his man. Of course, you're at ease. He wants to scold me. There's no need to find a reason. He has asked the chief of staff to hint and let me resign. If he doesn't resign, the result will be more ugly. This time you were attacked by a killer. They're even on my account. They're going to attack me."

Mark said, "Wow! These politicians really don't recognize people when they lift their pants. They know that our relationship is still like this and will pay a price."

Jerry said, "what do you think of the current situation?"

Mark started mm, cut through thorns and thorns, and broke into the world in the entertainment media. It is recognized that he has accurate vision and is good at grasping and making use of opportunities. No, even Jerry, an old slick, came to ask for advice.

Mark said, "it's really embarrassing for them to deceive others. However, Jerry, have you ever thought that as a powerful person, you should break into your own world and should not work for others. It is based on this idea that there will be mm. Even if it started only in the underground garage, I refused Warner's invitation for high salary."

Jerry said, "what do you mean?"

Mark said: "one is a cowboy from Texas, the other is an African American, or an illegitimate child. Such people can be president. Who else can't? If I was born in this country, I would definitely participate in the election."

This sentence is like a window opened in the dark room, especially Jerry, a person in the system, which has supreme authority and temptation. He is very surprised and excited: "can I?"

Mark said: "of course, isn't the constitution of the United States known? As long as you are born in the United States and have a registration fee of 10 yuan, you can participate in the general election. It cost more than 600 million yuan, ten times that of zipper ton and six times that of Texas cowboys. To put it bluntly, it's a game for the rich, Robert (egger) We participated in the last general election. We know how to operate. We have plenty of money and resources. We can spend one billion. Why don't we worry about big things? "

Jerry's cunning and deep city government can't help but move.

This is entering the White House and becoming the president of the United States!

This is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States, the first star in American politics and a world-class leader, with an annual salary of 280000. I don't mention it. It's not enough to include a lover.

Jerry gasped with a red face and said, "is that possible?"

Mark said, "were you born in America?"

Jerry said, "of course!"

Mark said, "do you have ten dollars?"

Jerry said, "it's just a superficial requirement?"

Mark said, "of course, you also have the determination and courage to lead the world and protect our freedom. Mr. Jerry Williams, do you have such determination and courage?"

Jerry said, "of course, if the country and people need me, I can sacrifice my life."

Mark said: "When you fought for your country, Ao Guanhai was studying. When you fought with the enemy to defend our freedom, he taught in Harvard. When you paid for your country and fought for your country on the secret front, he was just a small public servant in the community. Your resume is better than him. Your current name is far better than him before competing for the president. Why should he take that seat? It's because of our money Now, we have more money in our hands, mm and Time Warner. We have favorable times, places and people. Why don't we worry about big things? "

Jerry was said by mark with great pride. He still had some doubts and said: "with China's political ecology, it is impossible to give birth to this spy president like Russia."

Mark said: "there was no black president before, isn't there now? Hillary wants to break the precedent of no female president. I won three awards at the same time at the age of 26. This record is used to break. The key is yourself. You have the heart to break the record."

Jerry's ambition was provoked by mark. It was like a surging river, continuous, and like the flood of the Yellow River. Mark was like this. The ambitious Jerry couldn't be honest. He said, "as long as you support me, I'll let go."

Mark said: "business is business, friendship is friendship. I want to know what benefits we will get? In fact, aoguanhai is not a bridge. He paid enough price, and our investment has been rewarded as scheduled."

Jerry said, "what do you want?"

"We want to deregulate the press and market, and the government must increase its support for our overseas markets," Mark said

It seems that there are no specific requirements, but generally speaking, but the requirements are very high. This can be understood as allowing them to wantonly merge and expand, and they must also provide a platform for them to do evil.

There is no free lunch in the world. If there is, Jerry is afraid to eat. Mark puts forward a clear request. Instead, he is relieved and says, "no problem. I can fully support your cause. With our relationship, this is a natural alliance. As long as I am in the top position, you can have a party in the White House."

He's Donald's father, mark. They can have a party at the White House.
