How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 385 Warner’s stock price: plummeting
Good question.

The answer is indeed what you think. I knew this situation at the beginning, so I refused.

But how could Zhang Nan say this directly? It was too hurtful.

"That's not the case. It's really because my salary has gone up with great difficulty and it's not easy to go down. And if you think about it, I actually made a cameo in [Superman Returns], which increased the production cost by another 3000 million US dollars, reaching 3 "Superman Returns" with a production fee of 2.7 million US dollars, wouldn't it be more difficult than [-] million US dollars?" Zhang Nan explained.

Bryan Singer quite agreed with Zhang Nan's subsequent explanation, but he felt a little uncomfortable with what Zhang Nan said at the beginning that the salary had finally gone up.

If your Zhang Nan's salary can be considered as a rise with great difficulty, then what is other people's salary?
Others struggle to get a salary of 2000 million US dollars for a single film, but your salary is already in the hundreds of millions.

Zhang Nan saw the complicated look in Bryan Singer's eyes, and before he could continue chatting with him, he took the lead and said: "Bryan, the matter has reached this point, there is no use in thinking about it. If you are really caught by [Superman Returns" 】The film and results made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Then, in a few days, I will take you to the premiere of a truly exciting and blockbuster blockbuster to cleanse your eyes and soul. "

Bryan Singer: "..." Thank you so much!You can comfort people.

"No, although the quality of [Superman Returns] is not good, if it can earn more box office, my future path will be easier, so during this period, I plan to put more effort into promoting the premiere of [Pirates of the Caribbean 2] , I will not participate.”

After speaking, Bryan Singer briefly exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Nan, then ran away.

The next day.

The first day box office of [Superman Returns] is out.

300 million US dollars in box office.

This number seems low, but in fact it is not high at all.

Of course, if you really calculate it, it's not too outrageous.

Because Warner Pictures only arranged 2500 theaters for "Superman Returns" on the first day of its release, and the premiere opened very late, many theaters only had time to show it once, and it was still Tuesday. .

Under the influence of various factors, [Superman Returns] was able to achieve this result on the first day, which is already very good.

On the day after its release, Warner Pictures almost doubled the screening scale of "Superman Returns" to 3915 theaters.

And [Superman Returns] did not live up to the real money and money spent on promotion by Warner Pictures.

On Wednesday, the day after it was released, the North American box office grossed US$1803.7 million, accounting for 50.00% and [-]% of the North American single-day box office that day.

It can be said that "Superman Returns" on Wednesday beat the combined box office of all other movies in North American movie theaters.

But [Superman Returns] only became famous for one day.

On Thursday, due to poor quality, the single-day box office of "Superman Returns" dropped to US$1102.1 million, a drop of nearly 40.00% compared to Wednesday's box office.

Warner Pictures is a little restless looking at the box office trend of "Superman Returns".

After all, the first key to tricking movie fans into killing them is to stabilize the movie's box office data and maintain its popularity before tricking movie fans into entering the cinema.

The most important thing is that their current short-selling operation on their company's stocks has not been completely completed, and it will take a certain amount of time.

So Warner Pictures used its influence in theaters to once again expand the screening scale of "Superman Returns" from 3915 theaters to 4065 theaters.

With the double blessing of expanding the screening scale and moving to the weekend, the box office of "Superman Returns" has stabilized.

It closed at US$1631.8 million on Friday, US$1841.9 million on Saturday, and US$1779.7 million on Sunday.Over the three days of the weekend, "Superman Returns" grossed US$5253.4 million in North America, including the previous three-day box office from Tuesday to Thursday.

[Superman Returns] grossed an astonishing $8459.2 million at the box office in its first week.

Such results are already very good compared to other Hollywood A-level large-scale production projects.

Because based on this data, the total North American box office of "Superman Returns" will be between 2.4 million and 3.6 million, and the global box office will be between 4.8 million and 7.2 million.

Even taking the lowest global box office of US$4.8 million, it is still a huge profit for a Hollywood A-level production project with a production cost of over [-] million US dollars.

But... the production cost of [Superman Returns] was US$2.7 million, and to make it back, it would have to have a global box office of at least US$5.4 million.

What's more, the first-week box office data of "Superman Returns" was manipulated, and the quality of "Superman Returns" is also worrying, and the subsequent box office decline cannot be stabilized at all.

Therefore, this data estimated based on the first week's box office is not accurate at all.

And it is.

After the box office of "Superman Returns" was released in the second week, the box office dropped by more than 60.00%, which directly brought the box office data of "Superman Returns" to about 3800 million US dollars.

The poor box office performance of this summer exclusive masterpiece directly caused investors who bought Warner Pictures stock to panic.

Because Warner Pictures' stock has taken a small dive.

Retail investors who entered the market at a high level also published confidence-boosting remarks on the stubbornly resisting website.

For example, someone said: "It is normal for the box office to drop sharply in the next week. This is true for all commercial films. As long as the follow-up can be stable, then Warner Pictures' stock price will rise back, and maybe even rise sharply."

This kind of deceptive rhetoric may be able to fool people if it refers to other industries that ordinary people have no access to.

But when it comes to movies, individuals can vaguely judge whether they are good or bad after watching them.

Moreover, movies seem to be very convenient and not something difficult to access.

Then there were constant investors who turned into audiences and rushed into the theater to buy a movie ticket for "Superman Returns", hoping to contribute to the growth of the Warner Pictures stock in their hands.

But after the movie ended and a wave of specious shit was force-fed from their eyes, many people returned home and rationally dumped their Warner Pictures stocks at a loss and cut their losses.

As a result, Warner Pictures' stock price began a continuous decline.

But this wave of continuous decline did not last long.

It’s not that Warner Pictures’ stock price has stopped falling, but that Warner Pictures’ stock price has begun to plummet.

Without it.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 2] is coming.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Zhang Nan's reputation in Hollywood is achieved by the box office of one movie in the past ten years, with real swords and real guns. There is nothing false at all.
