How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 620: First three days in North America - box office of US$2.8 million

Why do projects in the film and television industry always follow trends?

the reason is simple.

Following the trend is really useful!

As for [Voldemort 2], this wave can be regarded as using hard power to forcefully follow the trend of [Avengers 1] in the Marvel Studios movie universe plan.

Of course, this kind of following the trend is not plagiarism.

Without it.

The core selling point of [Avengers 1]’s box office success is that it brings together various IPs and aggregates multiple fan groups to create a scale effect.

And [Voldemort 2] has now forcibly achieved this.

Although Robert Downey Jr.'s character in "Voldemort 2" is not called Iron Man Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man image has been deeply bound to Iron Man Tony Stark.

It can be said that at least 1-% of the success of "Avengers " is attributed to the popularity of the character "Iron Man".

Finally, there is the cheating player Zhang Nan.

And these are reflected in the box office of [Voldemort 2].

And [Voldemort 2], but it also inherits the fan base of the eight main series of [Harry Potter] for many years.

Even when Marvel Studios first started planning their movie universe, they bet on "The Hulk" instead of "Iron Man" and only turned around after failure.

Therefore, whether it is in terms of the quality of the IP characters or the number of fans of the movie itself, [Voldemort 2] beats [Avengers 1].

The IPs worth mentioning in "Avengers 1" include Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.

Then Robert Downey Jr. relied on the strong box office power of "Iron Man 1.2" to pull "Iron Man" into the core of Marvel's characters, and got the position of the core character in "Avengers 1".

You must know that Iron Man's popularity in Marvel comics is not top-notch.

The box office of "Voldemort 2" has declined somewhat, falling below the threshold of breaking 8955 million U.S. dollars in a single day, but it still reported a single-day box office of million U.S. dollars.

Then comes the day after the screening.

First day of release.

Marvel sold the rights to [X-Men] and [Fantastic Four] to 20th Century Fox, and sold the rights to [Spider-Man] to Sony Columbia.

Then [Voldemort 2] now stars Robert Downey Jr., who is deeply bound to the image of Iron Man, and the popularity of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack IP can basically dwarf the popularity of the remaining characters in [Avengers 1] .

The box office revenue of 200 million US dollars in two days was still at the end of the Christmas season.

Except for Iron Man, the popularity of other character IPs is basically based on the popularity of the characters.

If [Iron Man] is really popular, 20th Century Fox and Sony Columbia will definitely buy it.

Then Johnny Depp is in a similar situation and has been deeply bound to Captain Jack Sparrow.

This is reflected when Marvel Studios sells the rights to a number of superheroes.

Either the character's standalone series failed at the box office (The Incredible Hulk), the character's standalone series had a mediocre box office (Captain America and Thor 1 were average), or there were no character standalone series at all (Black Widow and Hawkeye) .

[Voldemort 2] directly hit the box office of US$1.01 million in a single day in North America, which was a quarter lower than the US$1 million box office of [Avengers 8081.3] on its first day.

The power of [Voldemort 2] directly shocked a group of Hollywood practitioners.

But soon a group of Hollywood employees came to their senses. Because this happened in a movie starring Zhang Nan, they were used to being shocked and had a threshold.

Then comes the third day of release, which is also the last day of the first week of [Voldemort 2].

[Voldemort 2] once again reported a box office of 8065 million US dollars in a single day, completing the feat of 2.8 million US dollars in the first three days. At this point, no one has any doubts about whether [Voldemort 2] can recreate the glory of [Voldemort 1], which exceeded one billion US dollars at the box office.

Because [Voldemort 2] has a box office of US$2.8 million in its first three days in North America, its total box office in North America will not be less than US$7 million.

As long as [Voldemort 2] collects US$2 million in other movie theaters around the world, it will be enough for [Voldemort ] to break through the global box office threshold of US$ billion.

Even a box office of only 300 million US dollars is almost enough in the mainland movie market alone.

Therefore, the current discussion in major media on the future box office of [Voldemort 2] is focused on the point where the final box office of [Voldemort 2] will be more than one billion US dollars.

As for the box office prediction of "Voldemort 2", the only one with the most accuracy is the producer Warner Pictures.

Such as now.

When the outside world is still unsure about the final box office hit of "Voldemort 2", Jack Emmerich, the new president of Warner Pictures, has already estimated the final box office hit of "Voldemort 2" by summarizing data from all parties. There is a more accurate prediction.

"It was released at the end of the Christmas period and barely enjoyed the market growth of the popular period. It was able to win a global box office of 1.5 to 6 billion US dollars by relying on hard power alone.

In the global box office of 1.5 to 6 billion US dollars, if Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp are combined, and fans of the [Harry Potter] series are included, the box office will be almost 400 to 500 million US dollars.

In other words, Zhang Nan alone has almost a billion-dollar box office appeal around the world.

How terrifying! "

Jack Emmerich looked at the results obtained by the company's data analysts and clicked his tongue.

Then he turned down another page, and the next page happened to be the prediction of the distribution of the income of all parties under the global box office of "Voldemort 2" of 16 billion US dollars, sorted from high to low.

Zhang Nan: 26.72 billion US dollars [9.28 (box office) + 11.84 (peripheral) + 5.6 (remuneration)]

Warner Pictures: US$13.04 billion [2.88 (box office) + 4.16 (peripheral) + 6 (financial)]

Theatrical: $4.8 million (box office)

Old CEO: US$0.4 million (kickback)

Seeing that Zhang Nan is firmly in the first place, and is several positions ahead of the second place, and is still second to fourth place, the combined income is even higher.

The veins in Jack Emmerich's hand holding the document were somewhat exposed.

Without it.

Of the US$13.04 billion in revenue from Warner Pictures, there is still US$7 million in production expenses!

If you really count it, even if [Voldemort 2] had a global box office of US$16 billion, Warner Pictures would only get a profit of US$5.04 million.

It’s only a little higher than the theater side.

Just by looking at the data, you can tell Zhang Nan's status in the project, and his tone can be said to be too deceptive.

"I'll wait a little longer and see how Disney Pictures' [Pirates of the Caribbean 5] does at the box office next year. If it succeeds, my first big move after taking over is to make the [Voldemort] series completely belong to Warner Bros. Pictures." Karma." Jack Emmerich secretly made up his mind.

As for Disney Pictures' "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" next year, what if it fails?

What else can I do?

Just serve it cold as usual.

After all, earning less is better than earning nothing at all.

And the net profit of a project is more than 500 million US dollars, which is already very good.

If this wave of [Voldemort 2] had not been for an old CEO who was about to retire and wanted to make some extra money before leaving, Warner Pictures' net income would have been raised by at least another two to three hundred million US dollars.

As for why the old president only took 0.4 million U.S. dollars in kickbacks, but destroyed Warner Pictures' - million U.S. dollars in revenue?

The operating loss rate of rebates is like this!
