I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 340 - 339: Over 15 Million in the First Week!

"What? Made over 3 million USD on the first day?"

"The midnight showing actually surpassed 500,000?"

"The reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are so good?"

Robin was somewhat in disbelief at the report in his hand.

The box office of "Infiltration" has far exceeded expectations.

Although it's only the first day, generally speaking, the first day is mostly just a preliminary look.

Also, reports like this are usually not very accurate; some of the first-day numbers are estimated, some can't be statistically measured.

Just like the employment data released by the United States Department of Labor.

That is quite an official figure, sounding very reliable.

But in reality, it is often revised shortly thereafter.

Honestly speaking, the mode of this data release leaves ample room for data forgery.

Let's say, the Americans who designed this were really quite aware of human nature.

But even with that, this report in hand might not be very truthful.

Yet, it's enough to see the enormous potential of "Infiltration"!

This is the Halloween release slot.

First-day earnings over 3 million, with just over a thousand screens.

This performance is truly impressive.

Also, there's a comparison.

That is, the originally highly anticipated movie is a horror film produced by MGM Company.

"Ghostly Wail"!

Why is this movie highly anticipated?

On one hand, it's because of MGM Company.

Do not underestimate this company; the original eight major movie companies in Hollywood combined couldn't surpass this company.

And now, the name of this company frequently appears in a sport.

Boxing.

That is, a crucial boxing match takes place at the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas.

This is true, since MGM originally started in the hotel business.

Alright, hotel plus Las Vegas, does this need asking?

They deal in casinos.

This company makes money too easily, back in Hollywood was extremely powerful.

The key is, this company originally did movie production, distribution, and also ran theaters!

Yes, it's a complete supply chain.

Moreover, the most popular movie IP is the famous "007."

However, the company was later split.

In the United States, there once was an era hostile to monopolistic enterprises, like the oil company of the Rockefeller family was broken up.

MGM was similarly dealt with, albeit a bit later.

Interestingly, it wasn't forcibly split, but legislated. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It mandated that movie production companies in the United States couldn't own theater chains.

MGM's integrated supply chain model was rendered impermissible.

Since it couldn't enter theater chains, MGM's movie company went downhill.

But, a dead camel is larger than a horse.

Just like the "007" series, regardless of the box office or reviews.

Whenever the project is initiated, it generates endless buzz.

Just the casting process captures much attention.

So, the company's strength is undeniable.

And "Ghostly Wail" is also very much worth expecting.

No need to look at the script yet; this cast is quite promising.

Ryan Reynolds, a rising star highly regarded in Hollywood.

The female lead is Melissa George; her fame might not be great, but she acts well.

But really, if Zhou Mo Sen saw this actress, he would definitely think of a movie.

"Horror Cruise."

Additionally, there's a young girl, named Chloe Moretz.

Although this might be the young girl's first movie role, you can tell.

At least in terms of casting, this film shows a lot of sincerity.

Besides, the plot is actually quite good.

It is said to start with a family massacre.

Then a few youngsters are toyed with by evil spirits.

Moreover, Chloe Moretz is still so young now.

This means, there's also a child element.

Seeing this, parts of it actually overlap with "Infiltration"!

MGM Company has high hopes for this movie.

But, how have the results turned out?

Although they weren't released on the same day, according to currently obtained data.

The first day of "Ghostly Wail" is comparable to the first day of "Infiltration."

It's the same level.

The key is, their screening times are considerably higher!

Thus, it can be concluded, "Infiltration" definitely has more potential.

Robin was getting excited.

Honestly, despite the Halloween release slot, American horror movies typically don't perform strongly at the box office.

The biggest advantage of horror movies is actually low cost.

As for the box office, currently, very few horror movies achieve high ticket sales.

Simply put, breaking one hundred million.

A horror movie with a 100 million USD box office would likely be ridiculed.

Pipe dreams!

But even if it doesn't achieve such phenomenal ticket sales of 100 million USD.

Right now, "Infiltration" offers Robin immense hope.

Previously, he seriously underestimated this film!

Actually, this underestimation stems from the status of American-Chinese people.

Really looked down upon.

Although in the United States, Chinese do have an advantage in intelligence, particularly in the fields of science and culture.

Chinese people are quite strong.

Take the aeronautical and aerospace sciences in the United States.

Many people probably don't know that Mr. Qian Xuesen is one of NASA's founders.

In fact, among the five founders, there is another Chinese individual.

Moreover, there are even more in other scientific fields, especially in medicine.

But those familiar with American medicine know very clearly that the top doctors and medical experts are actually Chinese.

However, in American TV dramas, they automatically ignore this fact—but even ignoring, they assign Asian faces.

In medical dramas, there must be Asian faces; some are heartless enough to depict them as Korean or Vietnamese, etc.

In other words, in American reality, Chinese are indeed strong.

But in certain situations, like Hollywood, like those TV dramas.

Chinese are directly categorized as Asians and then Asians continue to be ignored.

And the most helpless thing is: Chinese in the United States seldom fight for these things.

Yes, just like that, most Chinese in the United States only focus on one thing.

Making money.

Once they've made the money, they don't care about anything else.

In such a realistic situation, Robin and similar big companies like Warner show this time's performance.

It's not surprising at all.

Robin now only regrets.

He regrets that when signing the contract, he set the "standard" too low.

According to Robin's contract with Zhou Mo Sen.

"Infiltration" just needs to exceed 50 million USD, then Warner would essentially not earn any additional profits.

This means those earnings would all be considered rewards for the production company.

Such contracts are actually very common, because the "standard" set is essentially based on the profitability point of the distributor.

That is, they have definitely made enough money.

But what to do now?

Robin inexplicably feels like he could do a little more work.

What does this mean?

It means, could he become the foresighted discoverer of James Wan?

Indeed, James Wan wasn't particularly appreciated over at Lion Gate.

The reasons are just as above... actually Robin is similar to Lion Gate.

But if he seizes this opportunity?

Robin intends to make a change.

Of course, he set a short-term target for "Infiltration," that is, as long as the first-week box office exceeded 10 million.

Then he would take action.

This target isn't high, is it?

But the shocking situation happened very soon!

...

Later, Zhou Mo Sen and Jennifer Connelly stopped seeking thrills altogether.

Instead, the two spent an entire weekend at his mansion.

Interestingly, Jennifer Connelly displayed her virtues as a wife and mother.

Doing her cooking duties when needed.

However, she was interrupted by Zhou Mo Sen.

So, this weekend was naturally a very enjoyable one.

And as Monday arrived, the box office report came on schedule.

15.22 million!

"Infiltration" secured a box office of over ten million for the first weekend!

It has now been confirmed, Zhou Mo Sen has already recouped his costs and even made a small profit!

But there are still several weeks ahead.

Let's say this is fantastic!

Yet, an unexpected event happened to Zhou Mo Sen.

Along with the report came a letter, surprisingly it was a subpoena.

Was Zhou Mo Sen sued?

And the reason is:

Inciting others to wear masks?

WTF!
