Chapter 255

February 14, in the morning.

The long publicized film "My grand Greek Wedding" was officially released in 2150 cinemas in North America, accounting for 18.9% of the North American film market on that day, ranking second.

Second only to Warner Group's film CITIC in the bottle, with a film layout rate of 19.3%.

This arrangement rate naturally caused many people's doubts.

"No way."

Jordan, the director of paramount film's Distribution Department, was shocked and said: "Warner Group has made a positive move this time. Moreover," My grand Greek Wedding "is now full of negative news. How can the cinema still have such a high film production rate of Wald film?"

Harvey Weinstein of Miramax pictures is also very puzzled.

"Something's wrong!"

"That's not right!"

"In recent years, the development of Wald pictures is really good, and some of them are rising strongly. But for the cinema, where can the weight of Wald pictures compare with Warner Group?"

"What's the problem?"

"In the past, there were negative news and slander, and then Warner Group was eyeing it. The cinema was considering profits. How could it not give Wald pictures the second highest film production on that day?"

Harvey Weinstein was not only puzzled, but also jealous!

Because Miramax, his film company, also has a movie on during Valentine's day.

Although its production cost is less than 10 million US dollars, its good reputation has raised a boom of "youth film", and the box office is not low now.

But!

Now Wald's new film layout is high, so it is bound to reduce the layout of other films.

For example: Miramax's my fair girl.

"My fair girl" had 900 cinemas and more than 1400 screens yesterday, accounting for 9% of the total film production;

Today, however, it is reduced to 720 cinemas with 930 screens, accounting for only 6% of the total film production in North America.

The amount of film layout is reduced, and the income is naturally reduced!

Can Harvey Weinstein not be angry?

"Damn Zucker Wald, damn Warner Group!" Harvey yelled.

Due to the release of new films by Wald pictures, the number of new films produced by many film companies has been reduced by the cinema today.

Which of those film companies has no complaint?

But they have nothing to do!

Even Time Warner Group did not hold down the film layout of Wald pictures. What can they do?!

At the same time.

A senior executive of Warner Group's Distribution Department took the initiative to call a senior executive of Emperor Entertainment, one of the three major theaters in North America.

"Schmidt, why did king entertainment increase the number of films produced by Wald pictures?"

Mr. loborn, a warner executive, was a bit resentful.

"I don't know."

Schmidt, from the cinema, said on the phone.

"You don't know?"

"Schmidt, it's different from what we said before," Warner executive rob Bowen frowned. You promised me that you would not give Wald more than 300 cinemas in terms of Emperor Entertainment, but now there are more than 500 goddamn cinemas. The same is true for AMC and ximanke. I've said yes, but now I've turned my back. "

Hearing this, Schmidt of the theater side can't help but get angry.

Who is he?

Mr. Schmidt is the vice president of King entertainment and the head of King entertainment in Washington. He is responsible for coordinating many theaters. He can work with Warner to adjust the layout of some films, but he is not an employee of Warner!

"Robyn, what's your tone?"

"Are you blaming me?"

"You remember, I'm not your subordinate!"

"Finally, for the sake of our long-time friends, I tell you that the reason why we Emperor Entertainment increased the film layout rate for Wald pictures came from the decision of the company's board of directors."

The decision of Emperor Entertainment board?

“.......”

For a moment, Warner executive rob Bowen was dumb.

It's true that Warner is strong, and it's OK to be known as the top six of Hollywood, but they can only exert influence on the cinema, and they have absolutely no decision-making power.

Now the board of directors of Emperor Entertainment has come forward, and Warner has no choice.

Is it difficult to become a Wald film industry and fall out with Emperor Entertainment, one of the three major cinemas in North America?

What's more, it's not only Emperor Entertainment, but also ximanke and AMC, which are the three main courtyard lines. Are we all going to fall out?

No one can afford such a loss!

"Damn it!"

All of a sudden, Robben was furious.

.......

Wald pictures.

"Hoo ~ ~"

Kevin Fitch, vice president of Waldorf, looked at the report in his hand with a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, all aspects of the cinema have stabilized, otherwise our box office results will be absolutely unimaginable." Kevin Fitch said with a lingering fear.

After all, their current rival is the giant Warner Group!

"Oh, by the way, old bill, do you know how the boss handles the cinema?" Kevin Fitch asked.

In terms of cinema influence, Wald pictures is far less powerful than Warner Group.

"I really know that."

Old bill, the president, said with a smile: "just two days ago, the boss met with the chairman of the board of directors of Emperor Entertainment, AMC and ximanke respectively, and proposed a gambling treaty《 The total box office of "My grand Greek Wedding" in North America is less than 150 million US dollars, so the boss will completely give up the revenue of "My grand Greek Wedding" and make up for the loss of less than 150 million US dollars in the box office of the three courtyard lines. "

Gambling treaty?

$150 million in North American box office?

This moment, Rao is Kevin Fitch is not surprised!

Box office gambling treaty was once popular in the American film market.

Especially in the mid-1980s.

However, with the development of time, the pattern of hundreds of cinemas competing for supremacy has changed into a film market dominated by three major cinemas and many small cinemas. The pattern was broken, and the box office gambling mode was no longer popular, even rare.

But

Today, the $150 million box office bet proposed by Zhuke still attracts the interest of the three major court lines.

Why not make money?

As for Warner's influence, ha ha, as long as Warner doesn't want to fall out with the three front-line companies, no one can stop them from making more money.

Interest is the foundation!

Other people lack confidence in my grand Greek wedding. Zhuk is a passer-by. Don't you know the potential of this film?

If Warner wants to fight, it's done!

"In that case, now it's just the media." Muttered Kevin Fitch.

The power of the media, looking at the whole world, who can compare with Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Group?

A lot of negative news will undoubtedly hurt the box office of my grand Greek wedding, which is a problem that people in Wald film have to consider.

It is an indisputable fact that the media power of Golden Dawn entertainment group, the parent company of Wald pictures, is far inferior to that of Time Warner!

"Ha ha!"

Old Bill said with a smile again: "Kevin, our boss has amazing potential in the fight. Don't you know that? You see, well, there will be a good play next. "

"Eh?"

Kevin Fitch was stunned for a moment.

"The first watch" is presented.

When I come back from my business trip, I begin to make up for the missing updates.
