June arrived.
This year, only a few movies perford well in June despite the sumr schedule. The Big Six released their movies this month, but only a few received a great reception from the audience... It also didn't help that Kazir affected the tiline, hence the changes.
In the first week, Don't ss With The Zohan was released. Starring Adam Sandler and distributed by Sony-Columbia, Don't ss With The Zohan grossed over $38 million in its first three-day release. The movie had a budget of $90 million.
In the second week, The Happening and The Incredible Hulk were released.
The Happening was a thriller/suspense/horror movie starring Mark Wahlberg. The story was about a toxin that killed people. The toxins ca from plants... The writers were probably on so kind of psychedelic when they ca up with this plot. Anyway, the movie had a budget of $48 million and it grossed over $30 million after three days of screening.
As for The Incredible Hulk, this was the second movie that Marvel Studios released for its ambitious crossover called the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The premiere and red carpet were so star-studded that many famous celebrities showed up, including Kazir, who had a complicated relationship with Marvel Studios...
There were so newspapers that talked about Kazir's relationship with DC and Marvel and his hypocrisy. He gained another bad reputation, but Kazir was already used to this kind of treatnt, so he didn't care at all. People were allowed to have their opinions.
However, this ambiguous relationship between DC and Marvel made the people related to Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox respect him less.
The Incredible Hulk had a budget of $150 million. The movie was heavily reliant on special effects, so it was not surprising that the budget surpassed $100 million.
If The Incredible Hulk failed at the box office, Marvel Studios would have to think twice about continuing the MCU.
Fortunately, the movie grossed over $55 million after three days of screening. This boosted the confidence of Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox.
On top of that, Iron Man also grossed $297 million at the North Arican box office after 45 days of screening. Also, the international box office grossed over $125 million after three weeks of screening, giving a worldwide box office total of $422 million. A massive win for Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox.
Warner Brothers and DC felt threatened when they saw the results. They hoped that The Dark Knight would give them great numbers.
They believed in Kazir's capabilities. However, they were also afraid that Kazir would sabotage them. A lot of them were against Kazir's script, especially the part where Batman lost against The Joker. It didn't sit well with the managent. This version of Batman was quite dark for the fans to accept.
The only reason they agreed was because of Kazir's strong box office appeal and the contract they signed. They were also afraid that if they forced Kazir against his will, he might never work with Warner Brothers again. Kazir could breach the contract and pay the damages if he wanted to, but that would be the last ti Kazir worked with them. Warner Brothers didn't want that, so they gritted their teeth and accepted his decision.
In the third week, Get Smart was released starring Steve Carell. The movie was distributed by Warner Brothers and had a budget of $80 million. This movie was actually funny, so it was not surprising that it grossed $38 million after three days of screening.
As for the fourth week, nothing big happened, which was a bit surprising.
June, which was a famous sumr schedule, only had four movies that perford well.
Why did that happen?
Kazir changed the tiline, so so huge movies were not released this ti.
Kung Fu Panda — this animated movie was released three years earlier because it was now owned by Blue Sky Studio instead of DreamWorks Animation.
Wall-E — the script for this animated movie was now registered to Kazir's na instead of being owned by Pixar. Blue Sky Studio had a plan to produce this movie in two years, but the plan was still not approved by 20th Century Fox. It was ironic because Pixar actually contacted Kazir regarding buying the script for Wall-E. Kazir still owned the script, so the future was still unclear.
Anyway, Wall-E was not animated this ti because Kazir owned the script.
Wanted was ant to be released in 2008, but Kazir produced it in 2000 instead and added it to the Continental Cinematic Universe.
These three movies, Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E, and Wanted, were ant to be released in 2008, but Kazir changed the tiline.

"Batman--! Please, forgive ! It's not a big cri. It's just jaywalking. Don't break my legs!"
"What you did is a cri!"
"No, it's just a small cri! Please--!"
"Justice for Gotham!!"
"Cut!"
Kazir stopped the filming.
The Batman in question stopped acting and took off his mask. It was Justin Timberlake behind the mask.
"Director, are you sure this is how you portray Batman?" Justin asked.
"Justin, Justin, Justin. I'm the director. You shouldn't ask why. Just trust ," Kazir replied, and then yelled, "Where the fuck is my bowl of grapes! You! Woman! Feed grapes!"
The crew mbers scattered in fright. Scarlett Johansson showed up with a bowl of grapes and fed Kazir.
Munch munch munch...
"Justin, let's retake this scene. Also, make your voice growlier, like you're smoking ten cigarettes underwater."
"But that doesn't make sense."
"Shut the fuck up. Anyway, Batman is a hero who never kills."
"That's right," Justin nodded.
"Instead of killing the criminals, Batman makes sure that they wake up in the hospital in a near-death state."
"Err…"
"It doesn't matter what your cri is, Batman will send you to the hospital. Okay, let's reshoot this scene. Justin, don't forget to scream 'Justice for Gotham.'"
Kazir was in SNL (Saturday Night Live) to promote The Dark Knight. For this segnt, he was making fun of Batman... He actually had no idea why Warner Brothers agreed to this kind of promotion.
'Don't bla . The writers of SNL want to make fun of Batman and I'm just an actor this ti.'
This was so kind of breaking the fourth wall or sothing.
[Tomorrow, I will post a poll about potential cody sitcoms that Grey Pictures might make.]
[Edit: The poll ended and there's a result.]
