Chapter 339

Friday, October 29.

Wald film's long planned new work "death is coming" has been officially released in North American theaters.

As soon as it was released, it swallowed up a lot of film layout from dozens of film companies, accounting for more than 25% of the film layout in North America on that day.

People in charge of many small and medium-sized film companies stamp their feet in anger, but they have nothing to do.

"Damn chuck Wald, there's such a high layout ~"

Gusta, the boss of Lion Gate, is alone in the office gnashing his teeth.

"Hum ~"

"This group of cinemas is not a thing. They are all masters of holding high and stepping low. It's just a matter of looking at the fact that lion gate has not been established for a long time and has a smaller scale. Well, in the future, our Lion Gate film industry is bound to grow to the point where all major cinema lines dare not ignore it. "

I have to say that Gustav is really ambitious.

In the track of the original time and space, Gustav's Lion Gate film industry has indeed grown rapidly. It has absorbed some assets of pinnacle entertainment and MGM pictures, and has become one of the top ten film companies in North America. After ten years of gestation, it has established an overseas distribution channel second only to the six largest circulation.

You know, this is something DreamWorks can't accomplish!

Moreover, in addition to the lack of media power, the Lion Gate film industry founded by Gustav is quite strong in the production field, almost no less than six.

However

Now his strength is still weak, can only break teeth and blood swallow.

Hold back~

Of course, the North American cinema is not a good match!

"It's not him. Gusta said that he could get revenge in the future!"

In the North American cinema market at the end of the 1990s, although there were many independent cinemas and mountains, which made the cinemas somewhat vulnerable to the production companies, with the emergence of AMC, Emperor Entertainment and ximanke, the trend of big fish eating small fish was irresistible.

In just a few years, the three major cinema giants completely integrated the North American cinema market and occupied 92% of the cinemas in North America. Since then, they have ended the disputes between various forces like the "spring and autumn and Warring States period" and entered the three strong confrontation.

The cinema began to become extremely strong!

At that time, the three major cinema giants will have a huge base in the face of many Hollywood studios.

The big six dare not cover their edge!

Even AMC, Emperor Entertainment, and ximanke, the three major cinemas, boldly swallowed more revenue from the production companies, and improved the profitability of the cinemas.

The cinema is not easy to be provoked now, and it will be even stronger in the future~

......

Here comes death!

Warner Bros.'s new movie, ghost house, was released at the same time today, accounting for more than 24% of the film production.

"Everybody, we need to be clear about a fact!"

Barry Meyer, the new president of Warner Bros., faced with a group of senior executives, said: "no matter how we fight with Wald pictures, that's the next thing. Our first priority is to unite with Wald film to crack down on a number of small and medium-sized film companies and divide up the whole Halloween schedule! "

Unite with Wald, divide up the schedule?

Hearing the speech, everyone was happy.

A senior executive said with a smile: "although I'm a little unhappy and unwilling to unite with Wald film, it's absolutely wishful thinking that small companies want to seize the market."

Benefit!

Everything is for the benefit!

As one of the top six, Warner Bros., backed by Time Warner Group, the world's largest media group, is certainly not afraid of Wald pictures. However, it is unwise to fight endlessly with Wald in the current schedule~

What can Warner Bros. get by beating Wald pictures?

It's just a false name!

Big companies like Warner always give priority to interests. Even if they beat Wald film, they will pay a lot. On the contrary, they will make a lot of small and medium-sized film companies. This is not in Warner's interests.

"Well, there's something called tacit understanding!"

......

meanwhile.

Wald pictures.

"At this juncture, of course, we can't criticize Warner and Warner's new work house of the devil!"

Zhuke said with a smile: "I'm not stupid. Naturally, I'm going to kick out a part of the movies first, get more film layout, and get the biggest profit. As for the conflict war with Warner... In a few days, even if we don't do it, Warner will do it. "

Hearing this, they all nodded.

Old Bill said with a smile: "in Hollywood, the boundary between friends and enemies is vague, or it can be said that there is no such thing."

All contradictions and conflicts, the explosive point will always be the interests of the fight!

.......

With the tacit agreement between Wald pictures and Warner, well, that is, the plan of "cleaning up a number of small and medium-sized film companies first, and then fighting".

As soon as the tacit agreement action is taken, the power of the two major media groups and the overwhelming propaganda power are not the existence that many small and medium-sized film companies can resist, which can be called the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves!

A few days before the release of the film, box office has plummeted!

The person in charge of each big company is crying bitterly!

"Damn Wald pictures, damn Warner Bros. ~"

Xie Yi, the boss of new line film, scolded: "these two shameless companies have accounted for more than 50% of the film production, but they are not satisfied. They are targeting US wretches!"

He has a hunch... After tomorrow's arrival, the new film layout of Wald and Warner will probably exceed 60%, 70% or even more!

Sure enough!

When the next day came, the production of Warner and Wald pictures increased a lot.

The number of films in death has reached 31%;

The increase in the number of films in "haunted house" is even more astonishing, surpassing Wald pictures in one fell swoop, reaching 33.7%.

Even Zucker was astonished.

"Ho ~"

Looking at the report, Zhuke had to exclaim: "six is six. This method is really not comparable to us now. You see, in the North American market on the 29th, the box office of our film "death is coming" was more than $3 million higher than that of Warner's "haunted house", ranking the first at the box office on the same day yesterday. However, the increase of our film layout is not as good as that of Warner! "

In principle, "death is coming" is the first box office of yesterday, and the improvement of film arrangement should be the biggest;

However, the reality is that Warner's "haunted house" film is the biggest beneficiary.

"Boss, relax."

Old Bill said with a smile: "if Warner doesn't have this kind of means, then it's one of the top six in vain!"

Zucker nodded.

At present, Wald pictures can compete with warner for a short time, but it can only fight in a short time. If it fights for a long time, Wald pictures will surely lose.

Talent reserve, capital, inside information, historical factors, political forces behind

The lack of these factors is the fact that Wald is less than six.

Old Bill said with a smile: "boss, even if Warner is the biggest beneficiary this time, we are not bad. Even in the future, we can surpass it. However, the rest of the small and medium-sized film companies are miserable. "

Small and medium sized film companies, are they miserable?

Miserable!

It's terrible!

A lot of film company owners, angry straight curse Niang~

"Shameless

"It's really ugly how their two film companies are eating each other!"

"Yes, they work together to carve up the market, carve up the schedule, which does not give us a way to live!"

"Take a look, take a good look. In just one day, the revenue of our major film companies has either dropped by 30% or halved. Even some films of film companies have been directly removed by the cinema. Damn it."

Is it despicable for Wald pictures and Warner to join hands to carve up the market and suppress many film companies?

Yes!

It's mean!

But that's the reality!

Between countries, between people, is not so!

Gusta, the boss of Lion Gate, is undoubtedly a very wise man. While many film companies are struggling, he does not give up resistance and surrender, but chooses to increase capital investment.

"Stand up to this attack ~"

"Although Warner and Wald have a tacit understanding, they jointly divide up the market. However, there are many conflicts between them. You see, I'm sure that in a few days, the two companies will start fighting, and we won't have a chance to rise again. "

"The first watch" is presented.
