"Martin, what do you think? Why didn't you tell me in advance?".

After Martin publicly spoke out for "Titanic" and James Cameron, his agent Jeff called him as soon as possible.

"We have evaluated this movie CAA, maybe it will be very high at the box office, and even more than 600 million at the global box office, but it is absolutely impossible to recoup the investment by the box office, Twentieth Century Fox made a wrong decision, "Titanic" is doomed to be a failed product. "

"Martin, I know you're trying to show favor to Cameron, but it's too early for you to stand up for it, really, too early. "

"You have to know that until now, even Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, the absolute stars of the movie, have not publicly spoken out for the movie!".

"You should wait until a month after the movie is released before you come forward, when the people who should be targeted have already been targeted, and the heat has passed, and at that time you won't be targeted too much if you want to say anything, oh no, predicting the box office is not good, absolutely not. You must know that even the most professional box office forecasters cannot accurately predict the box office of each movie. "

"Martin, do you know what you are doing, you are roasting yourself on the fire!".

Jeff Balabala said a lot, but Martin didn't refute it, let alone reprimand, because the other party's original intention was for his own good, but he didn't have his own "front and back eyes".

The outside world's ridicule of "Titanic" and James Cameron continues, and now Martin has been added.

Three days after the opening weekend, the box office of "Titanic" came out, with 28.62 million US dollars, beating "007 Empire of Tomorrow" and ranking second in the North American box office list, second only to "Scream 2" with 33 million.

The taunts suddenly became louder, and many of them were directed at Martin.

Martin predicts that the North American box office of "Titanic" will exceed 600 million US dollars, and if you count its decline of 30% according to the box office data of the first week (the decline is usually about 40% after the first weekend), the film will have to be released for more than 120 days to achieve this goal. Haha, that's the biggest joke of the century. "

"I think the film has failed, Martin Jr. is a genius, but after all, he is still too young, he made a joke, everyone can forgive him ......".

"Martin, a genius teenager writer, stood up for "Titanic" and James Cameron, which greatly damaged his image, and his behavior was suspected of flattering James Cameron and Twentieth Century Fox. "

"The Titanic is destined to be frozen, it will sink like that huge cruise ship, and this time there is an extra little passenger named Martin on board......".

All the ridiculers seem to ignore it, and Martin has also said that the box office of the film may not exceed 30 million in the first three days of the opening weekend.

But the slap in the face soon came.

On the first Monday after the first weekend, "Titanic" fell by a negligible amount at the box office, less than 10 percent, and won the first place at the box office of the day.

Countless film critics and critics have collectively lost their voices, they have never seen a movie fall so much after the first Wednesday, and Spielberg can't do it.

The miracle continues.

On Tuesday, the box office drop of "Titanic" was still very low compared to Monday, less than five percent.

On Wednesday, the decline was still minimal.

waited for another weekend, and the box office miraculously came up slightly, although the increase was not high, but it still shocked the jaw.

Such a box office trend is so strange that it has never been seen in the history of Hollywood films.

The theater side is happy, such a stable box office trend can bring them much better benefits than those movies that exploded in the first few days.

As we all know, the cinema chain's share is more and more in time, and more than three months after the movie is released, the theater side almost makes money for nothing, and there is no need to divide the money to the distributor.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the box office of the big ship was still extremely stable, and the ridicule and doubts became less and less until they disappeared.

Three months later, people were shocked to find that "Titanic" was still at the top of the box office that day, and its two former competitors, "007: Tomorrow's Empire" and "Scream 2", had already been released.

At this time, there were more voices that began to sing praises to "Titanic".

And Martin's prediction was once again raised, but this time not as a mockery, but as a compliment.

"This is the vision of genius, when the box office of "Titanic" came out on the first day, who would have thought that it could reach the current box office result, 470 million US dollars, although it is still some distance from the 600 million US dollars predicted by Martin, but I believe that the theater side will definitely not release "Titanic" at this time, which is still stable at the box office. "

"Titanic" broke everyone's habitual thinking about the box office, no one could have imagined that a movie could still maintain a daily box office of more than 5 million after more than 90 days of release, which is incredible. Equally incredible is our little genius, Martin Meyers, who is the only one who made a bold prediction after the box office came out on the first day, and he is even more confident in the film than James Cameron......

".

"Martin's mouth must have been opened by God, and James Cameron should be grateful to him for ......".

"The genius of genius predicted, Martin Meyers, this time he succeeded again, and perhaps his vision should be taken seriously by those big companies......".

"Martin Meyers, James Cameron, this is a 'handshake' between two geniuses who are 30 years apart, and together they shook the world ......".

Martin successfully rubbed off on the popularity of the "big ship".

On March 23, 1998, the 70th Academy Awards of the United States were announced in Los Angeles.

The super blockbuster "Titanic", which cost more than $200 million to produce, won 11 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Original Music and other awards.

When James Cameron took the stage to accept the award, he shouted the most famous phrase "I am the king of the world".

But unlike the original timeline, he also thanked Martin at the end of his speech, which made Martin's popularity go to another level.

The "big ship" continues to sail.

Martin knows that from the end of 1997 to 1998, the big ship "Titanic" sailed tirelessly in the cinema chain for 281 days, the most days in North America.

By then, the world had become numb to the skyrocketing box office figures.

In the end, the box office of Big Ship reached 600 million US dollars in North America, 1.2 billion US dollars overseas, and a total of 1.8 billion US dollars in the world, breaking the box office record in film history.

This record held until James Cameron's next epic masterpiece, Avatar.

At this time, Martin's "A Natural Pair" had already been released, winning a global box office of 157 million and a North American box office of 108 million.
