The gold medal count has reached a total of 7.

The gold medal count has reached a total of 9.

In the American media, in addition to the medal tally of various countries, TV networks like ABC and CBS also dedicated a special leaderboard for Link, detailing each of his races and the cumulative number of gold medals won.

Multiple international media have described Link as the equivalent of a sports superpower on his own.

On August 12, in the 10-kilometer open water race, Link set a new world record with a time of 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 21.20 seconds, earning another gold medal.

On August 13 and 14, in the finals of the 4x100m, 4x200m freestyle relays, and the 4x100m medley relay, Link and teammates from the USA Swimming Team including Phelps, Josh Prenot, and Chase Kalisz, overcame the formidable Australian Team, claiming three world championship titles.

By now, Link had won a total of 13 event championships at this Olympic Games, breaking 11 world records, including 10 individual swimming events and 1 relay event.

And Link, over three consecutive Olympic Games, has amassed a total of 26 gold medals, in addition to 3 silvers and 1 bronze, raising the record for the most individual gold medals at the Olympics to an unprecedented high.

He has been acclaimed by the media from various countries as 'the real Superman,' 'an extraterrestrial.'

At the closing ceremony, Link also represented all the athletes in delivering a speech, calling for world peace and attention to the refugee crisis; he also took part in the extinguishing of the Olympic flame ceremony.

After the Olympics ended, Link spent half a month touring various places in Brazil with his family before returning to the United States.

At the end of August, as the summer season closed, the box office results for several movies released by Lionsgate Films surfaced.

The most successful was "Jumanji," with a North American box office of 406 million US Dollars and a global box office of 968 million US Dollars, ranking third among all films released during the summer season, only behind "Finding Dory" and "Captain America 3."

Coming in second was "Suicide Squad," with a North American box office of 350 million US Dollars, an overseas box office of 424 million, and a total box office of 749 million.

In third place, "Bad Moms" tells the story of a mother who seems to have a glamorous life, but endures indignity and suffers in silence to maintain her glitzy existence, until one day she reaches her breaking point. The protagonist decides to let loose completely with two other mothers, embarking on a journey of joy.

This is a low-budget comedy film, produced with a budget of only 20 million US Dollars.

After being in theaters for more than a month, it achieved a North American box office of 113 million US Dollars and a global box office of 187 million.

It is also the seventh movie from Lionsgate this year to break the 100 million mark in the North American box office.

Fourth is "Sausage Party," a low-budget animated comedy film that tells the story of naive food items that, upon being purchased and brought home, face the terrifying prospect of being devoured, skinned, and chopped up, and the sausage that decides to reveal the grim secret to everyone.

The production cost was 19 million US Dollars, and after nearly two months in theaters, the North American box office was 97.68 million US Dollars, with a global box office of 145 million US Dollars.

The fifth is the war movie "Hacksaw Ridge," adapted from the true story of World War II Army medic Desmond Doss, who refused to bear arms in battle and heroically saved 75 comrades unarmed during the Battle of Okinawa.

The movie was directed by Mel Gibson and starred Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, among others.

With a production budget of 40 million US Dollars, after three weeks in theaters, it has a North American box office of 54.84 million US Dollars and an overseas box office over 100 million, with an estimated total box office around 180 million.

Although the box office returns are not particularly eye-catching, the film has received critical acclaim with an IMDb score of 87 points, a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of 85%, and the "New York Times" has listed it as one of the top ten films of the year.

The sixth place is "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising," with the original cast returning, but the box office results were disappointing.

The production cost was 35 million US dollars, and after more than two months of release, the North American box office just passed 50 million, and the global box office just surpassed 100 million.

That's a far cry from the first installment's global box office of 270 million.

The six movies have brought in 1.106 billion US dollars in box office revenue for Lionsgate Films during the summer season.

Adding the box office revenue of the nine movies released before May, by September, the 15 films distributed by Lionsgate Films had a total box office of about 1.95 billion US dollars, ranking second only to Disney, which currently has a North American box office of 2.26 billion US dollars.

Although Disney's total box office performance is good, it also encountered three box office flops, leading to serious losses.

The first was the disaster movie "The Finest Hours" released in January, with a production cost of 80 million US dollars and a global box office of only 52 million US dollars.

Disney Chairman Alan Horn publicly announced that the film caused a loss of 75 million US dollars.

This also proved that Disney Pictures' attempts outside of family-friendly movies met with failure.

The second was "Alice Through the Looking Glass" released in May, with a production cost of 170 million US dollars, a North American box office of only 77 million, and a global box office of 290 million, which is much lower than the first installment's global total box office of 1 billion.

The film caused Disney a loss of about 70 million US dollars.

Star Johnny Depp unfortunately became box office poison and may for the third consecutive year be rated as the least cost-effective actor by Forbes magazine.

The third was "The BFG," released in July, which tells the story of an orphan girl Sophie who meets a small-statured giant.

The film was directed by Steven Spielberg, with a production cost of 140 million US dollars, and after more than two months, it garnered only 55.48 million US dollars at the North American box office, and a global box office of 195 million.

Counting production and marketing expenses, the film caused nearly 100 million US dollars in losses to Disney Pictures and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.

By comparison, Lionsgate Films had only one slightly unprofitable film this year, which was "Joy's Struggle" released at the beginning of the year, with a production cost of 60 million and a global box office of 101 million, with losses under 20 million.

From the ledger perspective, Lionsgate Films looks a bit better, with a higher profit margin. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

And Lionsgate Films' summer blockbusters contributed to a total North American box office nearing 2 billion, with a global box office surpassing 4.2 billion US dollars.

The market, as good as last year's, also gave Wall Street investors more confidence in Lionsgate Films.

In August and September, Lionsgate Films' stock price peaked at 115 US dollars, and after several fluctuations, stabilized at 108 US dollars per share, with the market value of Lionsgate Films climbing to around 21 billion.

Link once again sold off some of his shares at a high price, using them to acquire Amazon and Alphabet shares, increasing his holdings to 3.4% and 2.02% respectively, with 38.5% of Lionsgate shares remaining under his name.

As for owning too few shares to lose control of Lionsgate, he is not worried about that; in three years, a global disaster will strike, severely impacting the film industry, with all movie companies' market values plummeting, not sparing even Netflix.

By then, he just needs to take advantage of the falling Lionsgate share price to buy back all the shares for a small amount of money, but if things get too busy, he might consider selling Lionsgate Films and focus on other endeavors.

By September, the Democratic Party and Republican Party's campaigns began, and Link and Ivanka put down their work, actively supporting their father-in-law.
