Hollywood What If Chapter 546

Billy and Wallace cheered as they witnessed how Wesley Gibson found his peace.

Billy and Wallace had been a fan of Kazir since the release of Napoleon Dynamite. Since then, they have watched every movie that Kazir released. They also watched every CCU movie. In fact, they even built a fan base.

Naturally, Billy and Wallace witnessed how much suffering Wesley experienced in the trilogy. They were happy because Wesley found his peace at last. They also understand that this would probably be the last time they watch the Wanted franchise because Ben Affleck's contract ended.

However, they might see him once in a while in other CCU movies in a cameo appearance.

Still, the fans were a bit melancholic. Bryan Mills, Jason Bourne, and Wesley Gibson were the first three protagonists of CCU and now only Jason Bourne was active. Bryan Mills died while Wesley Gibson retired.

As the credits rolled, Billy and Wallace remained seated, having an afterglow in the final moments of Wanted 3. The theater was filled with excitement, with fans discussing their favorite scenes and speculating on the future of the CCU.

The theater was rented by the Grey Fans to watch Wanted 3. The fact that everyone was wearing a suit made it look like they were in a business meeting in a movie theater, out of this place.

“I can’t believe it’s over,” Wallace muttered. He was a bit sad. Wanted was a huge franchise and gathered so many fans all over the world.

“At least Wesley got a happy ending. He deserved it.” Billy nodded.

They didn't leave right away. They waited for a few minutes for the post-credit scene. The scene was about The Equalizer 2, the movie set to be released in September.

Wanted grossed over $1.11 billion all over the world in 2000. This was the updated box office after every country sent the complete information.

Wanted 2 grossed $821 million and was considered a success despite a lower box office performance compared to the first movie.

And now, people were wondering at what number the box office of Wanted 3 would stop. Would it reach $700 million? Perhaps only $600 million.

August 29, 2008. Friday. Wanted 3 grossed $39 million.

August 30, 2008. Saturday. Wanted 3 grossed $86 million.

August 31, 2008. Sunday, also the last day of the month. Wanted 3 grossed $122 million.

In three days of screening, Wanted 3 grossed $122 million.

Everyone would agree that Wanted 3 was a success. This kind of performance was expected from a CCU movie. Nothing to be shocked at.

By the way, as of August 31, The Dark Knight grossed $889 million worldwide. The movie had been screening for 45 days and the movie was still going strong.

September 1, 2008. Monday. The industry was already having discussions about Wanted 3’s strong opening weekend. Analysts predicted it would easily cross $600 million worldwide, solidifying its place as another Continental Cinematic Universe success.

Kazir Grey, however, was more focused on the future. He sat in his office, going through final preparations for The Equalizer 2. He was looking at the documents related to the movie.

Wanted 3's post-credit scene had created excitement among fans, and expectations were high.

Meanwhile, Warner Brothers was celebrating The Dark Knight's unstoppable momentum. Executives were confident it would surpass $1 billion, making it the highest-grossing film of the year... Unless a new opponent joins the battle. The battle for box office supremacy continued.

After doing his job, Kazir decided to read the newspaper and found an article about Wanted 3

-- Wanted 3 delivered a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to the action-packed trilogy. Ben Affleck shines once again as Wesley Gibson. He brought depth to a character who has endured loss, betrayal, and redemption. The film masterfully balanced intense action sequences with emotional storytelling. It gave fans a fitting farewell to one of Continental Cinematic Universe's original protagonists.

-- The intense fights, stunning cinematography, and well-crafted plot kept the audiences engaged until the very end. While it may not surpass the original, Wanted 3 provided closure. It left fans both satisfied and nostalgic. A must-watch for action lovers and longtime CCU fans.

Kazir looked at the writer who wrote the article.

"Bribe Miner? Isn't that the movie critic that we paid to write positive reviews on our movies? No wonder this article seemed paid."

Well, the article seemed on point though... The article didn't tackle much in the movie since the content of the movie was nonexistent. The author didn't know what to write or add to the plot of Wanted 3.

Kazir then tackled the next topic that the company had to face.

Grey Pictures ventured into TV shows around 2003 to 2004 by making Game Of Thrones. Now, Game Of Thrones was in its third season and it was still going strong. It gained so many fans. It was popular and Fox TV also profited from the show.

Because of this success, Grey Pictures was interested in starting another show. This time, they asked Kazir if he had a Comedy TV show in his arsenal.

Well, actually, they were right, Kazir had a few in his list. He wrote some Comedy Sitcoms. However, he was actually confused as he realized that something big happened without his knowing.

"The fact that some of these shows did not exist in the current timeline is shocking."

The list was:

Modern Family

Parks and Creation

Brooklyn 99

The Big Bang Theory

How I Met Your Mother

Looking at the list, Kazir was shocked that The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother did not exist in this timeline. Meaning, Kazir could make them if he wanted to.
