America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 363, Section 361: Time Flies, the Harem Takes Shape

Bohemian Rhapsody continues its rampage on the big screen, becoming another box office champion in its second week.

They dropped to second place in the third week, but remained in fifth place in the fourth week.

In just one month, the film grossed $2.88 million at the North American box office.

Queen's rock music not only took flight in North America, but also resonated throughout the world.

United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Russia, Brazil, Chile, Australia, Japan.

Even after it landed in China, it sparked a wave of nostalgia for youth among middle-aged and elderly people.

Chinese music has seen rock crazes before, with artists like Cui Jian, Black Panther, and Tang Dynasty all having popular representative songs.

Although rock and roll did decline around the turn of the millennium, the spirit of rock and roll lives on.

After a month of campaigning, outside of North America, "Bohemian Rhapsody" has also triumphed over Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten.

There's no way to describe it with this adjective; none of its competitors were any match, and it managed to secure at least one weekly box office champion position in almost every country.

With $1.91 million overseas, $2.88 million in North America, and a global box office of $4.79 million, it has already caught up with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

If this continues, it's already a shoo-in for the top ten of the year, and maybe even has a chance to break into the top five at the annual box office.

Joaquin Phoenix and Cate Blanchett were all smiles.

As everyone knows, Joaquin Phoenix is ​​very reluctant to attend interviews, talk shows, and red carpet events, and when he does appear on variety shows, he often sits there blankly.

In short, he has no sense of humor and doesn't even like to laugh.

This time it was much better, he said, because he was very satisfied with the film's reception.

Word-of-mouth is more important than box office success; this has always been his standard.

She even collaborated with Cate Blanchett, reenacting being hammered several more times.

Eric also promised to help him win the Best Actor Oscar next year, so Phoenix naturally promoted the film even more enthusiastically.

Eric drove into a villa in Santa Monica, and Elizabeth sat in the passenger seat.

If there are other people in the car, they will inevitably be followed and photographed if the paparazzi discover them.

Nobody pays much attention to what Elizabeth says; everyone's used to it. Anyway, the two of them often go out to the movies and eat together.

"Eric, it seems I've become a shield."

"That's great, honey. You've made our lives more free and easy."

"Then you should thank me."

Eric pinched her cheek: "No problem, you'll receive a special gift soon."

"This villa?"

"You could say that. This will be your new home from now on, but don't tell your sisters yet."

Olsen sniffed: "If you also offer confidentiality services, then my price will be even higher."

Judy recently bought this house, and someone was in a hurry to sell it, so it was sold for only $1500 million, far below the market price.

After the purchase, it was naturally prepared as Eric's second residence.

Upon entering, I saw Daddario holding a bowl of vegetable salad, eating while watching TV.

Judy and Avril were standing on the dance mat, swaying from side to side to the music.

Xiao Liu stood in front of the mirror, comparing two pieces of clothing, while many others lay scattered on the floor.

Look, raising these guys is not only energy-consuming, but also very expensive.

When they're bored, you always have to find something for them to do.

Upon seeing Eric, Daddario beckoned him over to watch TV, while Xiao Liu pulled Elizabeth over to try on clothes.

Although the two are a few years apart, the difference in their races means that they have already reached a similar height.

In terms of body shape, upon closer comparison, it seems that Elizabeth Olsen's breasts are slightly larger.

Perhaps it was because she had more frequent contact with Eric that she was better developed.

"Honey, I've been playing Fallout games lately. When will the TV series start filming?" The husky girl rubbed against Eric's arm.

"Preparations should be almost complete. You're quite free?"

"Dragon Ball has been finished filming for so long, and I've only taken on some magazine shoots and gigs."

"The scripts my agent gave me were all garbage. They were either horror movies with big breasts and naive girls or teen spoof comedies, all low-budget films with an investment of less than ten million."

"I did get a cameo in 'Two and a Half Men,' but didn't you say Charlie Sheen is a jinx and a drug addict? I wouldn't dare go near him."

Daddario patted the other's head and deliberately barked a few times.

The nickname "dog-eyed husky" has spread, but dogs are the most popular pets in the United States, so it's not exactly a derogatory term.

"You have a very discerning eye. Many actors spend their entire lives as extras and never even have a five-minute line."

"Hehe. This is all thanks to you."

"I'll check on the situation on Monday and let you know, but you must pay me in advance."

D'Addario smiled charmingly: "No problem, you can do whatever you want."

Eric looked at Avril, who had taken off her clothes because she was hot from dancing and was now only wearing shorts and a bra.

Can dogs understand their owners' thoughts?

"Woof woof! Of course, you perverted owner!"

Soon, a fight broke out inside the villa.

The clothes were all torn to shreds, and the scene was too gruesome to be shown publicly.

After entering November, neither MGM nor Warner Bros. released any new blockbusters, but each released a few low-budget films to give their smaller counterparts a chance.

Eric is kind-hearted and never advocates eating alone.

Bohemian Rhapsody is only showing in a few countries, and the approximate box office figures have already been released.

It grossed $7.34 million globally, falling short of the original's nearly $10 billion.

Given the limitations of the era, this is understandable.

It's possible that Eric changed the script, which weakened the dramatic conflict, but it's still excellent enough.

Family relationships also became more harmonious, thanks to Judy's strong and controlling approach.

The Santa Monica Quartet was officially formed, waiting only for the right moment to launch an attack on the Beverly Hills Five.

As for Elizabeth, she doesn't stick to either side and will always loyally follow Eric.

The harem has expanded to 10 members.

Outside, Liu Xiaoli, Zhou Wenqiong, and Elena were also watching intently, ready to pounce and take a bite at any moment.

Eric doesn't plan to hire any more people for the time being; he really can't handle it all.

Jesus and his thirteen disciples, very good!

Another month has passed, and December has arrived.

The merger of DoubleStar Entertainment and Hasbro has been completed, and now it can be said that they are intertwined.

Interests are intertwined and completely entangled.

DoubleStar Entertainment is almost ready to go public, and then it will fully integrate with Hasbro to complete resource integration.

Meanwhile, amidst the anticipation of countless fans, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," which had been delayed for half a year, finally hit theaters.

It's the Christmas season now, and Christmas is just around the corner.

We must bring children back in and dispel the gloom of "The Prisoner of Azkaban".
