Chapter 915: Chapter 860: When Thanos Met Jonathan_2

While “When Thanos Met Jonathan” was heating up, Zack Snyder approached DC’s co-chair, Hamada.

This petite, dark-themed director, after reading the comics, had an idea and said to Hamada, “Marvel’s riding on the ‘John Wick’ craze with good effect. ‘Batman v Superman’ is set to release next spring, should we also capitalize on this?”

As a member of the Warner Bros. Team, Hamada didn’t take it too seriously.

Zack Snyder continued, “We could take advantage of this, Martin has always been collaborating with Warner and is in charge of a DC movie project, we could coordinate with Martin to release something like ‘Wild Wolf’ or ‘Darkseid Meets Jonathan’ while it’s hot.”

Hamada’s thoughts were completely different, and with a wave of his hand, he said, “There’s no need; Batman and Superman’s drawing power is strong enough. We don’t need these underhanded tactics, and Martin… he isn’t easy to deal with.”

Zack Snyder then said, “The movie’s popularity…”

Hamada raised his hand to interrupt him, “Let’s leave it at that, Zack. Focus your energy on film production, leave the marketing and distribution to DC and Warner.”

Zack Snyder, who wasn’t Nolan and didn’t have much clout with DC, had no choice but to shut up and leave.

Although Warner and DC disdained such lowbrow promotion tactics, “When Thanos Met Jonathan” fueled the popularity further, expanding the impact of “John Wick: Chapter 3” and Marvel superhero movies.

The latter, “Captain America 2,” which had been released nearly a month earlier, showed a trend of box office rebound.

“John Wick: Chapter 3” attracted even more casual viewers.

The movie, starting Friday morning, maintained a frighteningly high attendance rate, with most of the screening halls exceeding two-thirds full.

By evening in hot spots in major cities across North America, “John Wick: Chapter 3” was sold out, with many theaters packed full.

This situation lasted the entire night until the cinemas closed.

Accordingly, after the box office data was released on Friday, “John Wick: Chapter 3” created the best single-day revenue of the year—$56.64 million!

After two consecutive movies, this series finally exploded with the third instalment in the trilogy!

Anyone could see that “John Wick: Chapter 3” might create a staggering box office record.

“While Thanos Met Jonathan” continued to ferment online, netizens spontaneously extended many new memes.

“The First Golden Finger on the Internet: Jonathan’s Dog Gets Killed!”

“If you kill his dog, this man becomes the strongest in the universe!”

Compared to these, movie fans’ various enthusiastic online reviews of the movie itself exploded.

“John Wick: Chapter 3” maintained an excellent reputation, even as nearly ten million viewers watched, and its IMDb rating did not plummet significantly, currently holding at 8.9.

Fans online wished they could hype this movie to the skies.

“If there’s such a thing as addictive action movies in this world, then the ‘John Wick’ series led by Martin Davis would definitely be on the list! It’s like a shot of high-concentration vodka, glare at it, slam it down, and feel the burning sensation hit your skull.”

“In the first two films, Martin’s action scenes, which were almost truly performed, I thought had already reached a summit in Hollywood like never before, but the third one proves again that Martin’s limits are beyond imagination, bringing another super action classic!”

“Although I’m a girl, I am a girl who likes Martin. Watching the scenes with throwing knives, pencils, stables, and riding, I got completely soaked, wishing I were that black horse!”

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, over 200 film reviews were collected for “John Wick: Chapter 3,” but its freshness still reached a solid 95%!

From media to viewers to film critics, nearly unanimous high praise was given to the film.

On Saturday, “John Wick: Chapter 3” did not see a significant drop in viewer numbers despite the high attendance on the first day, maintaining high attendance in most major city cinemas across America.

At this moment, Davis Studio and Disney Studios no longer needed to continue to push hard on mouth-based marketing; just the right guidance was enough to let the film’s high acclaim spread wildly.

Meanwhile, the end of the film featured a teaser about the new movie “The Continental New York,” which also drew widespread attention from fans.

The Winston-like Mene, second only to Martin in screen time in the trilogy, was also a highly popular character.

Now that it was set to become its own film, there was much anticipation.

In the early hours of Sunday, fresh box office statistics were sent to Martin’s email.

In the bedroom at Davis Estate, Martin patted Lily’s butt, telling her to hold Elizabeth while he sat up against the headboard, picked up his phone, and opened the email.

Lily took a bite at Elizabeth’s soft and lofty spot.

Initially exhausted and drowsy, Elizabeth was awoken by Lily’s bite, hurriedly covering Lily’s mischievous mouth, then turning over and stretching out her arms to embrace Martin.

Seeing Martin looking at his phone, she asked, “No decline today?”

Martin replied, “No, the attendance is higher than on Friday. We brought in 55.1 million US dollars.”

Lily crawled over, lying in Elizabeth’s arms, and said, “But it’s less than on Friday.”

“You’re such a scatterbrain!” Elizabeth reminded her, “Friday’s box office included the midnight showing that started on Thursday night.”

Martin scooped Lily onto Elizabeth, got up to stand behind, and said, “It’s time to celebrate properly.”

Lily, with trembling legs, glanced at Elizabeth’s face close by, and whispered in her ear, “This isn’t sustainable, should we find another sister to join us?”

Elizabeth immediately thought of that woman far away in Atlanta, insisting, “Let’s keep it this way for now.”

Lily, thinking of Love’s iron fist, shuddered all over. It was better not to have her come.

She felt that if they were to find someone, it really shouldn’t be Elena; she’d beat her to half-death every day.

“John Wick: Chapter 3” quickly passed its first weekend in North American cinemas, grossing 161 million US dollars across 4105 theaters, not only topping the North American box office charts but also achieving the highest weekend box office of the year.

The following Monday was Memorial Day, a public holiday across America, and though “John Wick: Chapter 3” saw a slight decline in attendance, it still maintained a high level, taking in another 42.01 million US dollars.

In just four days, the film’s North American box office had already broken the 200 million US dollars mark, reaching 203 million US dollars.

The authoritative market forecasting agency Cinemascore, combining several days of in-cinema audience statistics, gave it an average “A+” rating, predicting that the North American box office for “John Wick: Chapter 3” would not fall below 500 million US dollars.

The last R-rated film in North America to surpass 500 million US dollars was “The Dark Knight.”

The movie generated enough heat to cause a chain reaction in the media and on the internet; even without much input from the producers and distributors, many media outlets and fans would spontaneously spread the word.

With such heat came frenzied media coverage.

The word of mouth among fans, even till today, still held powerful sway.

When one succeeded consecutively, not only were all the people around good, but all the media would spontaneously sing praises.

Martin was enjoying such treatment.

CNN in their coverage directly stated, “Martin Davis is America’s national treasure!”

People magazine heaped praise, “Although Martin Davis is not yet 35, he has already become a legend in Hollywood, an immortal monument in world cinema history!”

“Los Angeles Times” was even more exaggerated; after the holiday, they conducted an exclusive interview with Martin, then published the interview with the headline, “This is a world that belongs to Martin Davis; we’re just living in it.”

Even on social media, a phrase began to appear and spread widely: “Chaotic America does not deserve Martin Davis.”
