How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 275
mid-June.

"Spider-Man 1", which has been released for nearly a month and a half, has dropped to almost zero in North America, basically the same as the next picture.

The box office of 4 million US dollars is a bit of a nod, which makes Colombia both excited and regretful.

Excitement is because [Spider-Man 1] has a box office of just over US$4 million in North America, and there is a high probability that it will reach a total box office of US$[-] million worldwide.

It's a pity that "Spider-Man 1" only won a box office of 4 million US dollars in North America.

Because if [Spider-Man 1] can get a box office of 5 million U.S. dollars, then there is a high probability that Columbia will have a movie with a global box office of more than one billion U.S. dollars.

And it is still possible to make a sequel, which can be the killer movie of the housekeeping series.

So... Columbia's dissatisfaction with [-]th Century Fox is even stronger.

Because if it wasn't for [Star Wars Prequel 2] to be released the second week after [Spider-Man 1] was released, it would have a sniper effect on [Spider-Man 1].

Then the North American box office of "Spider-Man 1" is likely to go further.

then……

Columbia copied the operation of 1th Century Fox, and used "Spider-Man 2" to snipe "Star Wars Episode [-]" at the overseas box office except North America.

The reason why this is possible is simple.

[Spider-Man 1] did not take the path of simultaneous global release at the beginning, but only tested the waters in North America, but [Star Wars Episode 2] has the accumulation of previous works, and it took the path of global release at the beginning.

The global release plan of "Spider-Man 1" is scheduled for the end of May, which happens to be the second week after the release of "Star Wars Episode 2".

It can be said that Columbia's move, using its own way to deal with its own body, can be regarded as the numbness of [-]th Century Fox.

Because I used [Star Wars Episode 2] to snipe the box office of [Spider-Man 1] [-]th Century Fox, I also regret it.

The reason is simple, the sniper effect is a bit too bad.

Because [Spider-Man 1] was sniped, it won the North American box office with a box office of over 4 million U.S. dollars.

But [Star Wars Episode 2], as a sniper, has been released for a month before it won nearly 3 million US dollars at the box office in North America.

If nothing else, then the North American box office of [Star Wars Episode 2] will be a little over 3 million.

And such a box office result is very difficult for Twentieth Century Fox to accept.

Because the last [Star Wars Episode 1] has won more than 4 million box office in North America, which is close to [-] million US dollars.

And the box office performance of a movie in North America can basically be counted as half of the total global box office of a movie.

Then [Star Wars Episode 2] has a box office of more than 3 million US dollars in North America, which means that the global box office of [Star Wars Episode 2] will not exceed [-] million.

With such a result, who the hell is sniping whom?
amount……

[Spider-Man 1] has really begun to snipe the box office of [Star Wars Episode 2] overseas.

This wave of role swaps made Twentieth Century Fox very uncomfortable.

But what scares 1.2th Century Fox the most is the box office trend of [Star Wars Prequel 1.2], which is a bit similar to [Jurassic Park [-]].

If the "Star Wars" series is the same as Universal's "Jurassic Park" series, then [-]th Century Fox really can't accept it.

So as the time came to mid-June, during this period of time, [-]th Century Fox has been working hard to deal with Hollywood giants.

I hope that everyone can postpone their film projects released in the summer vacation a little later, and give [Star Wars Episode 2] a little more time.

But the result~
Obviously it has no effect at all.

6 month 14 day.

Universal, with a production fee of 6000 million U.S. dollars, made its grand debut with Matt Damon, the spy movie "The Bourne Shadow".

same day.

MGM also followed suit. With a production fee of 1.15 million U.S. dollars, the war blockbuster "Wind Talker" debuted together with Wu Baige and Nicolas Cage.

Both of them sent invitations to Zhang Nan for the premiere.

[The Spy Shadow] There are two reasons why Zhang Nan was invited here. One is that Matt Damon wanted to thank Zhang Nan for recommending this project to him, and the other is that his artist Zhou Jie also played a role in it. supporting role.

[Wind Talker] There are also two reasons for inviting Zhang Nan to attend here. One is that the director Wu Baige and Zhang Nan are fellow villagers, and the other is that the lead actor Nicolas Cage and Zhang Nan are old friends.

Originally, Zhang Nan was still thinking about how to avoid the premiere of "Windtalker".

After all, the box office of "Wind Talker" is a bit too hip, and Zhang Nan is afraid that if he goes there by himself, he will ruin his box office mascot and the name of the movie box office insurer.

The invitation letter and premiere ceremony of "The Bourne Shadow" can be regarded as a great help to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan directly pushed the two films to be released on the same day, and he couldn't take care of them, so he didn't want to favor one over the other, so he pushed them all away.

Inside a Hollywood villa.

In the living room, both Wu Baige and Nicolas Cage were in a state of low air pressure, but Wu Baige's air pressure was obviously lower than that of Nicolas Cage.

This is partly because Wu Baige is the director of "Wind Talker", while Nicolas Cage is only the starring role.

On the other hand, it is also because there is no powerful person behind Wu Baige, and behind Nicolas Cage is the director of the "Godfather" trilogy-Francisco Coppola.

Yes.

【Windtalker】The box office collapsed as expected.

And it's not just a normal collapse, but a big collapse.

In the first three days, the box office performance of [Windtalker] in North America was: 440 million US dollars, 560 million US dollars, and 450 million US dollars.

Together, the first week was only 1450 million US dollars.

According to the box office of a movie in the first week, it is one-third to one-fourth of its total box office.

Then the total North American box office of "Wind Talker" will be between 4500 million US dollars and 6000 million US dollars.

Judging from the current box office performance of "Wind Talker", it is estimated that its final result at the North American box office will be closer to the point of 4500 million US dollars.

And in fact it is.

The original time and space [Windtalker] only won a box office of 4091 million US dollars in North America, and it jumped out of the range of 4500 million US dollars to 6000 million US dollars.

In terms of global box office performance, "Wind Talker" continued its performance in North America, and continued to jump out of the basic formula that the global box office is about twice that of North America, and only won a global box office of 7762 million US dollars.

With a box office of 7762 million U.S. dollars and a production fee of 1.15 million U.S. dollars.

MGM's current wave can't be regarded as a loss, but a loss. The specific manifestation is that MGM really blew itself up and went bankrupt.

However, the box office of [Windtalker] has not yet reached that point, and neither has MGM.
