The third week of November, with Thanksgiving\'s arrival, has also seen a large number of holiday movie releases. The most anticipated of these is "Home Alone 2", followed by Warner\'s "Lethal Weapon 2" and Universal\'s "Back to the Future 2". In addition to these highly anticipated films, there are also seven or eight other movies that are set to be released on November 17.
Among these is the usually overlooked "Steel Magnolias." Despite everyone else treating it as a mere accompaniment, Eric has great confidence in this movie.
Compared to Disney\'s emphasis on "The Island of Terror", "Steel Magnolia" had no difference in terms of adoption. After the third week of "The Island of Terror" being released, the number of screens had already increased to 2000, while "Steel Magnolia" only opened in 1000 theaters, due to Julia\'s involvement. If Julia had participated in "Steel Magnolia" according to the original timeline, the movie could have potentially achieved 500 screens.
Because of this collective negligence, Julia made a phone call to scold Eric, her tone full of complaints. Eric could only comfort her with kind words and various assurances.
Due to the shooting location in New York, Fox placed the premiere of "Home Alone 2" in a large theater on 42nd Street in Manhattan. After some negotiations between Eric and Fox, Fox agreed to broadcast the premiere of "Home Alone 2" live. Compared to "Little Island Shock", the premiere of "Home Alone 2" was even more lively, as the first movie of this series had achieved a miraculous 300 million US dollars in North America\'s box office, and only two movies had ever achieved more than 300 million US dollars in North America\'s movie history.
Fox laid a fifty-meter red carpet outside the premiere theater and invited dozens of Hollywood stars to attend the premiere.
"Eric, I\'m a bit nervous," said Aniston, still clinging to Eric\'s arm as the luxury Lincoln drove to the entrance of the red carpet.
Eric could only pat Aniston\'s head and said, "Come on, Jenny, relax. You\'re also a big star now, and you\'ll get to wait for a more grand Oscar red carpet in the future. So why are you shrinking back from such a small scene?"
"You said it would be easy," Aniston pinched Eric\'s arm and said again, "Also, Eric, I\'m cold."
"Well, I can\'t do anything about it either. Your dress is already very conservative. You can take a look later; there are lots of off-shoulder, backless, and thigh-revealing dresses that you can choose from." Aniston heard Eric say this and immediately frowned unhappily.
"I\'m not going to be like those women."
"Of course not. With me here, my baby won\'t show too much, and will still be more famous than those actresses."
"I don\'t need you either. I... I..." Aniston said quietly, not being able to finish the sentence and eventually pinching Eric\'s arm hard. "It\'s all your fault for pushing the role of Rachel to me. Don\'t think I didn\'t hear it. Once Dad said that you wanted to make this TV show for 10 seasons, so I\'ll probably be Rachel Green in the audience\'s heart forever!"
How many female stars wish to be in the same position! Eric scoffed inwardly but responded without hesitation, "Baby, anytime you don\'t want to shoot, I\'ll cut off Friends immediately." Aniston stared at Eric, "Am I such an inconsiderate person?" "No, no, no, my little baby is the most understanding. Hey, the red carpet is here, let\'s get ready to go." Aniston snorted, but quickly took out a small mirror from her bag and checked her makeup again.
Eric just got off the car, arm in arm with Aniston, walking towards the red carpet of the premiere. The crowd of fans burst into deafening shouts.
"Eric! Eric!"
"Eric, I love you!" A group of pretty girls shouted loudly while holding posters of "Back to 17".
"Rachel, Rachel, can you sign a name for me?" Apparently, Aniston has a lot of fans.
Eric glanced at the tight security measures on both sides and reassuringly pushed Aniston beside him and whispered, "Go help your fans sign a few names."
Aniston, experiencing this kind of scene for the first time, felt no cold even though the temperature in New York had dropped below 10 degrees; instead, her cheeks were slightly warm due to excitement. This was the feeling of becoming famous - no wonder so many people like it. Thinking this, Aniston skillfully leaned towards the crowd of fans and quickly scribbled her name on the notebooks or posters that were handed out, upon her boyfriend Eric\'s reminder. He also smiled, and signed a few names for some fans, and took a photo with the group of girls with the loudest cheers.
After a brief interaction, Eric gently took Aniston forward. When they arrived at the journalists\' interview area, Eric and Anniston posed for a few intimate photos and were then stopped by a reporter standing in the center of the red carpet. The reporter was from Fox TV, which had agreed to broadcast the premiere of "Home Alone 2" live. To maximize their benefit, they imitated the Oscar red carpet segment and arranged for a reporter to conduct interviews on the red carpet. With the envious gazes of the reporters who could only shout helplessly on both sides, Fox\'s female reporter invited Eric and Anniston aside for an exclusive interview.
"Hi, Mr. Williams and Miss Aniston, let\'s greet the audience."
"Hello everyone," Eric and Aniston waved at the camera with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Williams, is this the first time you and Miss Aniston have appeared publicly together?"
Under Aniston\'s slightly melancholic gaze, Eric chatted freely: "No, not at all. We were featured in the newspaper together a long time ago, at the start of the year. I was in New York and I was snapped by chance, I still have that picture now."
"Oh, that time I knew it too, you and Miss Aniston were a perfect match," Laura Pena said with a smile. As for the rumor about the playboy Eric, Laura Pena wouldn\'t be foolish enough to mention such a topic in this situation if she didn\'t want to lose her job; he was still her boss after all.
"Thank you for saying so," Eric smiled.
After a few idle conversations, the female reporter turned the topic to "Home Alone 2." However, she didn\'t ask Eric directly, but instead turned the microphone to Aniston: "Miss Aniston, how much box office do you think \'Home Alone 2\' can get?"
"Of course, the more the better," Aniston gave a versatile answer.
"Can you give a specific number?" Laura Pena inquired.
