How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 361 Won the title of biggest winner again

It's a full month, starting from June 6th to July 9th.

[Jurassic World 1] grossed US$5.43 million at the box office in North America, and US$8.52 million in other movie markets around the world except North America, bringing the cumulative box office to US$13.95 billion.

The entire North American summer vacation, no, it should be June in the global movie market, is dominated by "Jurassic World 1".

With such a performance, [Jurassic World 1] can be regarded as completing Zhang Nan's arrogant declaration.

Even when the time comes to the end of July.

"Jurassic World 1", which was released for more than a month, still had a big impact on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Batman 1", which were rescheduled, making the performance of these two films weaker than the original. More than one chip.

Universal Pictures is looking at the performance of "Jurassic World 1" that far exceeds that of "Jurassic Park 1".

All the executives, including President Tosh Cramer, were excited beyond words.

I thought that with the billion-dollar global box office betting contract signed with Zhang Nan, the box office of [Jurassic World 1] would be similar to [The Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 1], or even worse.

Because the brand of the [Jurassic] series is quite old, and compared with the popular [Lord of the Rings] series, there is still a gap.

But what about now?

The total global box office in the first month was as high as 13.95 billion, which can basically be said to be 14 billion.

And in the following period, [Jurassic World 1], which had a weak follow-up, still did not fall behind in the successive battles between [Mr. and Mrs. Smith] and [Batman 1].

So far, according to statistics from Universal Pictures, the total global box office of "Jurassic World 1" has accumulated to 16.05 billion US dollars.

Of course.

Judging from the situation, the box office potential of [Jurassic World 1] is indeed about the same.

In the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult to push the box office to 17 billion US dollars, and at most it will reach 16.5 billion US dollars.

But this result is already quite good.

Judging from the contract signed with Zhang Nan.

Of the 16.5 billion U.S. dollars in box office, the theater chain took 5.775%, Zhang Nan took [-]%, and the remaining profit was as high as [-] million U.S. dollars.

Throwing away the US$4.2 million in production fees, it still made a net profit of US$1.575 million.

And this does not include the copyright and peripherals of [Jurassic World 1], although these profits are half of Zhang Nan's, and dinosaur peripherals are indeed not easy to sell.

But the box office of a movie has reached over one billion, and its influence has undergone a qualitative change. No matter how difficult it is to sell, it is not difficult to make a profit of [-] to [-] million US dollars from it. If you divide it in half, it will be a profit of [-] to [-] million US dollars.

If calculated in this way, this "Jurassic World 1" can directly bring profits of 3.5 to 4.5 million US dollars to Universal Pictures, which is basically equivalent to a project with a 100% return rate.

Of course, if we just count the profits from the project "Jurassic World 1", Universal Pictures' income is still barely comparable to Zhang Nan's.

Zhang Nan received a fixed salary of 2.2 million for this wave of movies; he received the same 5.775% box office dividend as Universal Pictures, which is 5.775 million, but Zhang Nan’s [-] million US dollars does not need to deduct the production fee, it is a net income; Peripheral income of two to three hundred million.

Zhang Nan's income from "Jurassic World 1" directly exceeded 10 billion US dollars, surpassing Universal Pictures by several positions, and became the biggest winner in "Jurassic World 1".

Universal Pictures watched it with envy.

But Universal Pictures is just coveting it.

Because in the [Jurassic World 1] project, although Universal Pictures’ income was not as good as Zhang Nan’s.

But the revenue that the entire "Jurassic World 1" brought to Universal Pictures' box office is not comparable to the revenue in Zhang Nan's hands.

After all, a single change in the stock price of a Hollywood giant like Universal Pictures would result in a profit of US$1 billion.And this wave of [Jurassic World [-]] has brought more than one or two changes to Universal Pictures’ stock price.

Of course, no one would complain that he has a lot of money. Zhang Nan has made so much profit from "Jurassic World 1", so Universal Pictures is naturally very excited.

But I was just excited and didn't dare to put it into practice.

Because from Universal Pictures' point of view, Zhang Nan is definitely an important element that cannot be separated for "Jurassic World 1" to have such a box office.

Universal Pictures is still thinking about [Jurassic World 2].

But when they thought of "Jurassic World 2", many executives at Universal Pictures, including President Tosh Kramer, suddenly woke up.

They only signed a film contract with Zhang Nan for "Jurassic World 1". They had only talked with Zhang Nan about the intention of "Jurassic World 2" before, but in the end they just stayed at the chatting stage. A contract in black and white.

When signing the contract for "Jurassic World 1", the "Jurassic" brand was no longer viable. Zhang Nan, relying on his celebrity status, dared to propose a fixed salary of 2.2 million U.S. dollars, plus a 30.00% box office dividend and Half of the peripheral income.

Now that [Jurassic World 1] has performed like this, what kind of conditions should Zhang Nan put forward.

Thinking of this, a group of Universal Pictures executives and president Tosh Kramer feel a bit toothache.

"Let's check first. If Zhang Nan's conditions are too outrageous..." At this point, Tosh Kramer stopped speaking hesitantly.

A senior executive added with a tentative tone: "If it's too outrageous, let's change...the main creative team?"

In his words, the Universal Pictures executive did not dare to use the word substitution directly, but used a more general expression.

Tosh Kramer was furious when he heard this.

"Changing the creative team, have you forgotten the lessons of [Jurassic Park 3]?"

The lessons of [Jurassic Park 3] can be said to be unforgettable for Universal Pictures to this day.

Without it.

A series that was originally the number one in the world, even if the sequel did not perform satisfactorily, it still made more than 6 million US dollars at the global box office.

As a result, when the director of the third film was changed, it was not Universal Pictures who wanted to change the director, but Spielberg himself who was unwilling to do it.

But the box office of [-] million yuan completely destroyed the brand of the [Jurassic] series, causing Universal Pictures to lose a special series, and the stock price plummeted.

Tosh Kramer was never willing to experience that kind of scene again.

"What should I do?"

Substitutions were not allowed, and the conditions were too outrageous. Some executives were puzzled and finally asked weakly.

"Then keep talking until the conditions are not outrageous. The company gives you high salaries to do things, not for you to get paid for nothing." Tosh Kramer gave an unreasonable answer.

A group of Universal Pictures executives: "..."
-
When the end of August passes, the summer vacation in North America is also over.

The biggest winners this time are naturally Zhang Nan, Spielberg and Universal Pictures. [Jurassic World 1]’s global box office performance of US$16.7 billion stood out from the crowd during the summer vacation.

Then No. 2 is War of the Worlds, a collaboration between Tom Cruise and Spielberg.

在【侏罗纪世界1】的影响下，原时空6.01亿美金票房的【世界之战】，这次只拿下了5.84亿美金的全球票房，但也甩开了后面4.74亿美金票房的【查理和巧克力工厂】、3.73亿美金票房的【蝙蝠侠1】……等等影片半个身位。

It's just that "War of the Worlds" did well at the box office, but its reputation was terrible.
