Chapter 344

Warner and Wald films frequently use their small means. Even though Paramount Pictures, one of the top six, has rich experience in problem-solving, its box office revenue in a short period of time has been greatly affected.

November 9:

Paramount's new work guillotine closed at the box office of US $15.6 million a day, ranking first in the North American box office on that day;

In the second place, Wald film's "death is coming", which received US $5.2 million at the box office on the same day, accumulating US $62.1 million in North America;

In the third place, Warner Bros.'s "ghost house" reported $3.07 million at the box office that day, with a total of $33.9 million in North America;

As for other ranking films, most of them are horror films with low cost.

The prelude of guillotine dominating the world~

However, Warner and Wald, as the previous two strong companies, naturally do not want to see the strong rise of guillotine. Apart from making trouble for paramount in terms of media publicity, they are also making trouble for paramount in many fields such as theaters and offline markets.

No way, we have to eat!

It's all for profit.

In the days to come

"Guillotine" film is excellent, but also very limited.

After all, the Halloween schedule is a schedule for horror and thriller lovers. Compared with the movies of happy family, science fiction and action movies, its overall audience is still much smaller.

In a word, the box office performance of guillotine is lower than Paramount's expectation!

"Tut tut ~"

"The $60 million horror movie is really a big one. It's a pretty good movie. But the audience of horror and horror is always those people. There are also movies like" death is coming "," haunted house "and so on to share the box office. It's hard for guillotine to do its best."

"Paramount's this year's" guillotine "won't make money even if the box office in North America is more than 100 million."

"That is, the peripheral products of horror movies are always inferior to other types of movies."

"Warner and Wald's small means, hehe, let paramount lose at least $15 million at the box office."

"It's said that leishidong is about to explode!"

.......

Wald pictures.

"Boss, it's really not easy. In order to cope with this Halloween schedule, we, Wald pictures, and the head office of Golden Dawn entertainment group, have all made great efforts." Kevin Fitch sighs.

"Well!"

Zhuke said heavily: "this time, Warner is the winner and loser, otherwise, with the strength of our family, it's really hard to shake paramount! After all, the $60 million production cost of guillotine is not comparable to that of ordinary movies. "

"Ha ha. Boss, anyway, it's an established fact that our "death is coming" is the best one in this Halloween schedule, and it's worth celebrating. " Kevin Fitch is a little emotional.

It's a big six!

It's a great achievement to be able to surpass the box office of the top six in a single period.

Since the founding of Wald pictures, there have been countless wars, but it is not rare to be able to have such a beautiful moment as this Halloween festival.

To suppress paramount and Warner's films in one fell swoop during the Halloween season, Zhuke is still a little proud.

So is Kevin Fitch.

Where are young people without passion? Where are you afraid to fight?

However

At this time, bill mcnick, as the president of Wald pictures, mercilessly poured a big basin of cold water on Zhuke and Kevin.

"It's just a Halloween time. What do we have to be proud of and write about?"

Old Bill said in a deep voice: "memorial day at the end of May every year, as the beginning of the summer season, has always been a competitive place for major companies and one of the best time to harvest the box office. However, since its establishment, has Wald film made any achievements in this period?"

At the beginning of the summer holiday, there will be a lot of films.

In addition to the "Harry Potter" and "Spiderman" which are being shot by Wald pictures, they are basically low-cost productions. How can they make a start in the summer?

Must be reduced to the fate of cannon fodder!

Suddenly, Zhuke and Kevin are silent.

Old Bill continued: "look at the Thanksgiving schedule, can our company have a good time?"

Fart~

Since the late 1980s, Thanksgiving has been one of Hollywood's six largest private plots, and even DreamWorks can't get involved. The rest of the movies on show have fallen victim.

Sad ~ lamentable~

"Besides the last Christmas schedule, we have nothing to achieve."

Old Bill lingran said: "the three best schedules of memorial day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas at the end of May are always the six best schedules, when every minute counts. We, Wald film, have not been able to get involved so far. "

"Hum ~"

Zhuke snorted coldly and said, "what are you afraid of《 Spiderman and Harry Potter movies will be shown in your schedule. They are charge. I won't pick up those off-season rags forever

Kevin Fitch is also adamant: "next year, it doesn't have to be a winner or loser."

make love!

Old Bill applauded and said happily, "it's right to be here. If you want to do it, you can do it head-on. It's just a Halloween schedule. There's nothing to say if you win. If we can win the top six in memorial day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas at the end of May, we will not be underestimated by anyone. "

It's a good strategy to make a fortune.

However, now that Wald film has developed to a certain size, it is impossible for it to continue to grow obscene and make a fortune.

The big six are not fools.

On the contrary, they are all crafty hunters!

"If we don't catch up and work hard, Wald film will never really rise." Zucker clenched his fist.

Even, Zhuke has an urgent idea to buy a big company.

As long as it can acquire any of the six major film companies, then Wald pictures will be able to really stabilize its basic business, and no longer have to be afraid of the strangulation of other forces.

Small means are always small means. Even if they can play a certain role, they have little impact on the overall situation.

Horizontal push, is the king!

Strength is hard power!

This time, vold pictures, a subsidiary of Zucker, was able to get the highest box office in the Halloween festival. It was only when the big six didn't pay too much attention to it that they got the highest box office. After all, the big six are always on those hot schedules.

To tell you the truth, Wald pictures won't win this time!

"Wald pictures has a long way to go."

.......

On this day, Zhuke stopped working and drove to the hotel to attend the wedding of 82 year old "gambling king" Kirk Kerian.

Kirk Kerian is not only one of the founders of Las Vegas gambling industry, but also the boss of MGM, a Hollywood film giant, with billions of dollars.

"MGM ~"

"I really want to buy it," Chuck said with a smile

Although MGM film company is on the decline, far less than the six giants of the same period, such as Disney, paramount, Columbia, universal, Warner and fox, it has seats in the film review and rating committee of the American Film Association.

Seven seats, representing the supremacy of the giant!

How can Zhuke not be greedy?

"The first watch" is presented.
