Chapter 241 [Pearl Harbor] Peripherals are not easy to sell

$5907.

This is the first week of box office after [Pearl Harbor] was released in North America.

If you just look at this number, it is very bluffing.

However, the high-level executives in the conference room of the Disney headquarters couldn't laugh at all after seeing this number, and they were a little flustered.

Because according to the box office of the North American popcorn movie in the first week, it is basically one-third to one-fourth of its North American box office.

Then [Pearl Harbor]'s box office in North America will be between US$1.8 million and US$2.4 million.

According to the box office outside North America, it will basically be the same as the box office of the local film market in North America, or if it is slightly higher.

Then the global box office of [Pearl Harbor] will basically be between US$3.6 million and US$4.8 million.

But—[Pearl Harbor] spent 1.4 million on the production fee alone, and if you add more than 1 million in publicity expenses, it would take a fucking [-] million U.S. dollars to pay back.

And [Pearl Harbor] is different from those movies that can sell movie peripherals.

[Pearl Harbor] is full of planes, cannons, aircraft carriers... and so on.

The least powerful ones have to be at the level of grenades and machine guns.

Not to mention that Disney can’t sell these things. They are the jobs of North American military enterprises. Disney dared to reach out to it. It is estimated that the hand that stretched out the day before, Disneyland would have to change its style the next day, and put it in the fairy tale park to carry out live-action CS battle royale item up.

Zhang Nan can imagine that when the children enter the park and want to watch the cute animation IPs dance and interact with them.

What a blast it would be to find that Donald Duck's mouth was stuffed with a spray gun barrel, and that Mickey Mouse was missing one of his ears and had evolved towards one ear (the villain character in Black Cat Sheriff). .

And even if Disney can sell it, airplanes, cannons, aircraft carriers... Not everyone can buy it.

As for the models of airplanes, cannons, and aircraft carriers?

These peripherals have long been available, and the market has become a sea of ​​red.

Therefore, the [Pearl Harbor] movie peripherals are basically doomed to have no income, that is, in terms of copyright, and after the movie is sold at the box office, a profit can be made by stretching the company's stock price.

But whether it is film copyright or the stretching of the company's stock price, the size of its profit is closely related to the box office of [Pearl Harbor].

then……

【Pearl Harbor】The second week of release-the box office collapsed.

Basically, it can be said that it was cut in half, because [Pearl Harbor] only won a box office of 3000 million US dollars in North America the following week.

It is doomed that [Pearl Harbor]'s box office in North America will not be able to follow the natural trend of the box office.

It also means that the failure of [Pearl Harbor] is basically a certainty.

Disney headquarters.

conference room.

"Someone must be responsible for this!"

The president, Bob Brett, slapped the table angrily. He was even more angry than when he knew that his little wife had been stolen.

Because although he knew that his little wife had been stolen, he hadn't found out who stole it until now.

But for the failure of [Pearl Harbor], he was able to find someone to pay for it—Peter Schneider, the president of the production department.

Peter Schneider was sitting in the conference room at this time, and seeing Bob Brett so furious, he also knew that his career was completely over, and he slumped in his chair.

What still supports him from being completely paralyzed is the wealth he has accumulated over the years, which can allow him to live a better life after losing the power attached to his Disney executive position.

Think of it as early retirement.

Peter Schneider comforted himself in this way, and for a while, he really mustered up his energy.

however……

"The board of directors has decided to remove Peter Schneider from the position of president of the production department, and will conduct a detailed review of Peter Schneider's work over the years." Disney President Bob Brett continued.

And Peter Schneider, who had just mustered up a lot of energy, lost that energy in an instant.

Because as the president of Disney's production department, he can't help checking his work these years!
"Bob, you can't do this, it's against the rules, you haven't done this before." Peter Schneider was a little incoherent, and even wanted to get up and walk towards Bob, but his limp body made him stand for a while I can't get up.

When Bob Brett saw this, he waved his hand and told the security guards who had been prepared to come in and set him up.

After seeing Peter Schneider's end like this, the other Disney executives in the conference room were full of hurt and sad expressions.

To be honest, Bob Brett was also sad, because like other executives present, he was not clean under his buttocks, but nothing happened.

Seeing the depressed aura of the executives present, Bob Brett knew that this was not the way to go, and explained:
"What Peter said just before he left was right. It is against the rules to deal with him like this. Disney has not done this before, but this is a decision unanimously passed by the board of directors, and I have no right to interfere and change it.

What I want to remind everyone is that here—”

Bob Brett pointed to the desktop, and continued: "In the world of capital, it's okay to use your position to make money. Everyone does it, and no one will care about you, but you can't hinder the company that gave you the position." If interests are in the way, the company will take your money to fill the hole.

Well, that's all I want to say, Robert Watt and the president of the publishing department stay, and the others can leave. "

The other executives walked very neatly, but their steps were a little frivolous. They were obviously a little scared by the ending of Peter Schneider just now.

As for Robert Watt, who was left behind, although he was still sitting relatively steadily, his heart was already a little hairy.

How many days did Peter Schneider spend in a Disney studio?
It's only eighteen months, a year and a half.

How much money can that make?

It all ended so badly.

He has been struggling with Disney for almost a lifetime, and the money he made is not a small amount, and he even gave Bob Brett's little wife to whoring for nothing without a sound.

Special code!
Could it be Bob, an old gangster, who found out that he helped his little wife give birth to a child?

Just when Robert Watt could hardly bear the pressure and was about to confess to Bob Brett, Bob Brett spoke up.

"Robert, a few days ago you said that Zhang Nan wanted us to help him release the [Doomsday Survival] remake project, and he was willing to pay a price. How much is the price?"

Hearing Bob Brett's inquiry, Robert Watt breathed a sigh of relief, and understood why the president of the publishing department was left behind.

　At four o'clock in the afternoon, there is one more
