Chapter 572

If Raytheon fails completely, Kevin Fitch, as the CEO and producer of Marvel pictures, will be the first one to be responsible. Everyone knows this, but no one will say it casually. After all, everyone knows that Kevin Fitch is responsible for Marvel superhero movies and iron man.

Before he finished, Stan Lee pointed to Kevin Fitch and said, "when Murphy Stanton wanted to cooperate with marvel, you refused him because of some personal grudges. If he could join Marvel..."

"What if he joined marvel?" Kevin Firth interrupted him directly. "Is the marvel superhero movie going to take the dark route and become superman or Chris Dann

"That would be nice! There is a good market! " Stan Lee is old, but his heart is not old. "Our Marvel heroes are not without depth!"

Everyone here knows that what Stan Lee said is not unreasonable. Many of Marvel's superheroes have a black style in their comics, especially the civil war that was released a few years ago. If the film version takes a deep black line, it will certainly be charming.

"Enough!"

Avi Allard, who has been silent for a long time, can't help interrupting the argument between Stan Lee and Kevin Fitch. "We need to solve problems now, not create problems!"

He, the CEO of Marvel comics, certainly won't watch the top management of Marvel fall apart because of Murphy Stanton's infighting.

Avi Allard still has some prestige, temporarily suppressing the dispute between Kevin Fitch and Stan Lee.

Then, AVI Allard changed the topic, "let's not just focus on North America, Raytheon's performance in overseas markets is still very good."

As a result of the good foundation laid in front, "Thor" is not like "city of chaos" which is only released in North America for the time being. Instead, it landed in several overseas markets last week, and won the box office champion of overseas markets except North America.

Avi allad's words have temporarily diverted most people's attention. Many people turn to the information in front of them to pay attention to the overseas box office situation of Raytheon.

In the three islands of England, "Thor" won nearly $9 million in box office after five days of screening; 6.1 million in 579 cinemas in France; 4.7 million in 513 cinemas in South Korea; 3.5 million in 455 cinemas in Italy; 4 million in 377 cinemas in Spain.

In addition to important markets such as Europe and the Far East, Raytheon has also topped the box office of some smaller markets, such as Singapore and the Philippines. For example, Raytheon grossed US $2.1 million in Taiwan and US $308000 in Vietnam, setting a box office record for Marvel Super Hero films released in Vietnam on three days.

In addition, "Thor" was first released in Australia, which has entered the second week. It still has a box office of $2.3 million in 226 cinemas, up to 42% of the previous week, and the cumulative box office is close to $10 million.

So far, Raytheon has won 63 million US dollars at the box office in the overseas market, and the global box office has successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Such a global box office result also made many people in the conference room think that the overall market response of Raytheon was very good.

However, Kevin Fitch doesn't think so. Now "city of chaos" hasn't been released overseas. According to the news from 20th century fox, this film will be launched on the overseas market on a large scale this weekend. By then, "Thor" will certainly be impacted. How much will the overseas box office accumulate in the future?

He is very clear that in the current situation, "Thor" this film certainly can not recover the cost.

Just like that, it doesn't matter. After all, it's a film that paves the way for the Avengers, and marvel has made enough money on the two iron man films. Kevin Fitch's biggest worry is that the reputation and box office of Thor are too poor, which will inevitably drag down the Avengers released next year.

If Avengers fails to meet expectations, he, the CEO of Marvel pictures, will have to resign.

Now we can only hope that the release of "Captain America: the Avengers pioneer" at the end of the year can save the reputation of some Marvel superheroes.

Although it's only been a weekend, he has to admit that against the backdrop of Murphy Stanton's city of chaos, Thor is not only not a success, but also a failure.

Also on Monday, the atmosphere in 20th century fox was very different.

"It's a wise choice to put Murphy's film at the beginning of the summer season."

Although North America didn't make a good start, the first film released in the summer season won the box office with more than expected results, and the 20th Century Fox executives were still jubilant, "Carla, you did a good job this time."

The speaker was James Murdoch, the new co chairman and CEO of 20th century fox.Carla Firth smiles, but says nothing more. They used to be classmates in high school.

In fact, she knows that James Murdoch chose to come to fox in the 20th century because he encountered a lot of troubles in England.

James Murdoch is ambitious and regarded as the most suitable successor of Rupert Murdoch. He strongly supports his former high school classmate Carla Firth and lays the foundation for his future in 20th century fox.

Although he was the chief executive of Sky TV before, James Murdoch has been staring at 20th century fox. After graduating from high school, he chose journalism and business administration as his major, and went to film and literature as his major, in order to be in charge of 20th century fox.

For Hollywood's film industry, James Murdoch is not a complete layman.

"Kara, you and Murphy are good friends." James Murdoch asked, "when does he plan to shoot the second film of city of chaos?"

In the 20th century, fox invested 300 million US dollars in the production and publicity of "city of chaos". Unless the box office trend of a single film is extremely strong and a big bang is finally achieved, it will be difficult to recover the investment in a short time. As the chief executive officer of the company, James Murdoch must consider the issue of return on investment.

Carla Firth shook her head. "I don't know. He didn't say it."

James Murdoch frowned. "Didn't you ask?"

"No Carla Firth said directly, "if Murphy wants to tell me, he will."

"Oh?" James Franco doesn't quite understand the way Kara Firth and Murphy get along.

"According to Murphy's character and way of working."

Although he is a good friend, James Murdoch is always the boss. Kara Firth explains that "after the city of chaos, he will soon plan his next movie."

She watched James Murdoch, "but it shouldn't be the next movie in" city of chaos ". I heard Robert Downey Jr. mention that he had an appointment with a friend to make a biographical gangster movie."

"Gangster type biographical films?" Although James Murdoch has just taken office, he has enough knowledge to say directly, "anyway, I have only one request. 20th century fox is still the producer and distributor of this film!"

"I'm not sure that's the next movie." Carla Firth actually knows that Gail gado is very opposed to Murphy's shooting of Ross's biography, and Gail gado is the only person in the world who can make Murphy change what has been decided. She thinks for a moment and says, "as long as our conditions are no worse than other companies, Murphy will definitely be inclined to continue to cooperate with 20th century fox."

James Murdoch nodded slightly. This is not a problem. They have always attached great importance to talents who can create outstanding value.

Thinking of this, James Murdoch asked, "I haven't been here for a long time, but I've learned something. 20th Century Fox and Murphy's Stanton studio have a cooperative relationship on many projects. Game of Thrones is still cooperating. There are also some cooperative projects, and the copyright is in the hands of both companies."

Carla Firth looked sideways at James Murdoch and guessed what he was trying to say.

Sure enough, James Murdoch asked tentatively, "if 20th Century Fox buys Stanton studio, will Murphy sell it?"

"It's hard, I'm afraid." Carla Firth, to be honest, "Murphy is not short of money."

She is quite familiar with this aspect, not to mention Murphy's director's remuneration and high proportion of dividends. In 2008, when Hollywood was short of money due to the subprime mortgage crisis, he invested in several films. Now, films such as "Transformers" have been released one after another, giving him a high return.

If we don't count the property inherited in the future, James Murdoch may not be as good as Murphy in terms of his personal wealth.

James Murdoch understood that even if he wanted to buy, he couldn't be in a hurry. He said, "let's talk about this later."

Carla Firth didn't say anything more, but she was very clear that Murphy's sale of Stanton studio is unlikely. This film and television production company, which is still only a shell company, not only cooperates with 20th Century Fox and other companies to produce films and TV series, but also undertakes Murphy's tax-free and tax avoidance work, if you throw it away and get another one It's too much trouble for people like Murphy.

After pacing back and forth in the office, James Murdoch said, "you give me Murphy's contact information. I'll have a party later. I'll invite him personally."

Now that he's in Los Angeles, he's definitely going to take care of his network.

Kara Firth left Murphy's personal contact information, then left James Murdoch's office to continue the publicity work of "city of chaos". If the film wants to get a good box office on weekdays, it can't be relaxed. (to be continued). )
