Chapter 649

In the twinkling of an eye, a few days later

January 9.

The low-cost movie "love for New Jersey", produced and released by Wald pictures, has been shown in more than 920 cinemas in the United States.

Compared with more than 2000 cinemas and 3000 cinemas, this time, Wald pictures is really low-key.

After all, the cost of making a movie is only $2.5 million;

Even if the publicity and distribution funds have increased a lot, they only look at more than 4 million US dollars;

Compared with the large budget of Wald pictures in the past, this time it was low-key enough that even the film premiere was not held.

"Is Wald worried about losing money?"

"As far as I know, since September 2001, Wald pictures has withdrawn a number of self-made and produced films and instead released the works of other film companies, a total of seven films," said a spokesman for ximanke, one of the three major cinemas in North America. Although the box office revenue of these seven films produced by other film companies is not high, or they lose money, Wald pictures, as the distributor, should make a lot of money. "

Film companies are losing money. It's about the distributor Wald pictures!

you 're right!

Since September 2001, none of the films produced by Wald pictures has been released. All the films released are the works of other film companies.

However, in terms of distribution expenses, Wald pictures can earn less.

In the fourth quarter, the distribution revenue of Wald pictures alone was as high as US $57 million. Excluding various expenses and costs, the net profit still exceeded US $20 million.

This profit figure is also second only to Hollywood's top six; Higher than DreamWorks, Shimen film and other second tier film companies.

The film "love for New Jersey" is the first film produced by Wald pictures since September 2001 and will be released soon. It will naturally attract the attention of all media and peers.

New line pictures.

"Jonathan Wald's new year's film" love for New Jersey "costs only $2.5 million. Are you sure?"

Shea looks at her vice president in disbelief.

"Yes," said Jonathan, the vice president

"Wow, this is incredible ~"

Sheyton laughed and said, "what's he thinking about this time? If it's a horror movie, the production cost of 2.5 million dollars is not low, but can it make money for such a niche Wenqing movie? "

"Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut

In his words, Shea was full of pride.

Since the release of "Lord of the rings" in December, the box office has been booming. In recent days, Shea has been walking with wind.

Even though he was respectful and gentle when he faced Zhuke. He even took the initiative to seek cooperation from Zhuke, who seemed to be good friends.

But... Shea was jealous of Zucker from the bottom of her heart.

He wants to surpass Zucker all the time. Well, even if he knew it was almost impossible.

This time, he was very willing to sneer behind his back.

"Boss, you also said that the movie" love for New Jersey "is just a small cost movie with a production cost of only 2.5 million dollars, and the distribution fee is not high. Even if the movie fails, Wald pictures will not lose much money."

Vice President Jonathan reminds us.

"I still have a high heart."

Shay waved his hand and said, "no matter how much money you lose, as long as Wald pictures loses money, I'll be happy to see it."

......

Touchstone Pictures.

It is a second tier Hollywood film company with distribution channels in North America. It is also a subsidiary of Disney, one of the six largest Hollywood companies.

At the moment, CEO Olmedo looked at the report in his hand and said with a big laugh, "is Wald pictures funny this time?"

Smell speech, a few executives around also can't help but happy voice.

"Since its establishment at the end of 1995, Wald film has developed into a second tier top-notch film giant, second only to Hollywood's six major existing companies in just a few years."

"Its films, such as Sparta 300, Spiderman, Harry Potter and so on, have broken the box office records again and again, and have been amazing again and again."

"But... They're scared to death now!"

"The new year's blockbuster of 2002 was just a small popular Wenqing movie with a production cost of only 2.5 million US dollars. Ha ha, this is really funny and ridiculous!"

CEO almedo's sneer is constantly echoing in the huge office.

"Love for New Jersey" was released on January 9;

Touchstone Pictures is also a film called "returning to Alabama", which was released on January 9;

The production cost of the film is as high as 28 million US dollars;

Actress: Reese Witherspoon.

In the past 2001, the movie "legal beauty" starred in it was even more known as a blockbuster. The box office revenue in the United States alone exceeded 140 million US dollars;

The film also saved MGM pictures, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Actress Reese Witherspoon has become one of the hottest female stars in Hollywood.

Actor: Josh Lucas.

Although his popularity and popularity is far less than that of popular male stars such as Xiao Li Zi and Tom Cruise, his strength is not bad.

In 2001, he took part in the film beautiful heart, which also became a big hit.

"From the cost of production to the cost of distribution, to the cast of the cast, our love for Alabama is a new work of Wald pictures."

"The most important thing is that it's just a popular film, and our film" love for Alabama "is a love and comedy film, which is most suitable for healing the wounds after 9 / 11."

"The same time?"

"What do they compare with us?"

CEO Olmedo's words were filled with disdain.

He is sure that they will win this time!

"Mr. Olmedo is absolutely right," one executive said. If Wald pictures takes out Spiderman and Harry Potter films, we won't win; Similarly, compared with "love for New Jersey" and "love for Alabama", we definitely win. There is no second result. "

The voice fell.

Executives around nodded in agreement.

Since 1990, the minority Wenqing film has become the synonym of "making money at a loss" in Hollywood. It is almost impossible to succeed at the box office.

There are so many cases of failure!

.......

Wald's new film "love for New Jersey" and touchstone's new film "love for Alabama" were released on January 9 at the same time.

The film "love for New Jersey" has 920 cinemas;

There is no difference in the number of cinemas.

Touchstone film's new work thinks that it will win, and is sure to completely crush Wald's new work this time. The vast majority of other Hollywood film companies, including the media, also hold a positive attitude.

"The first watch" is presented.
