"What's wrong?"

There was a lot of noise outside, and Dan Logan could faintly hear the exclamation coming in.

At this time, Greg Silverman pushed open the office door and walked in with a heavy expression, "Have you read the newspaper this morning?"

This morning's paper!

Dan-Logan froze for a moment, could it be...

He took a deep breath, and immediately asked, "Yes, the first-day box office!"

"Yes."

Greg Silverman sat down silently, and said with a tone of disbelief: "Yesterday's first-day box office was 44.08 million US dollars, with an average box office of 11,021 US dollars per theater."

"Ryan Gosling, Orion Pictures, and Marvel Pictures not only created a new North American first-day opening record, but also made superhero films a mainstream commercial film in Hollywood."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "According to news from within Orion Films, Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures are preparing to invite back a group of employees who have participated in the creation of comics."

"Amazing Comics and Marvel Studios intend to build a Hall of Fame, a Hall of Fame that belongs to Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios."

There are many comics halls of fame in North America, such as the Jack Kobe Hall of Fame, the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame, etc., most of which are named after the authors of the comics.

However, the Hall of Fame that Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures intend to establish is to include every employee who has contributed to Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures in the name of Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures inside the hall.

In the future, some personal biographies will be published.

"From the acquisition of Marvel comics, to the release of the company."

Dan Logan was silent for a long time before speaking: "In just a few years, Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures have ushered in a harvest."

"And its success will inevitably double the value of Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures."

"Whoever owns Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios is equivalent to owning half of the market share of superhero movies."

The other half of the market share is in Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

It's just that the value of Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures now faintly surpasses that of DC Comics.

Orion Pictures, how much did it cost to buy Marvel Comics?

Even if Ryan Gosling bought the copyrights of superhero characters in the past, it is still less than a fraction of the value of Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures.

No, to be prepared, the value brought by the copyright of Spider-Man alone exceeds the entire cost paid by Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures.

If it was Warner Bros. that bought Marvel, maybe it would be completely different.

Dan Rogen shook his head, entering the Marvel comics of the nineties, there was no price to pay for Warner Bros.

At that time, the board of directors would not agree to buy Marvel Comics.

"Know, do you know the next step of Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures!" He couldn't help asking.

"not sure."

Greg Silverman shook his head and said: "However, at least one thing is certain, for the time being, Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures have no signs of preparing to shoot the Avengers."

With Warner Bros.' network channels, as long as Orion Pictures and Marvel Pictures are preparing to shoot the Avengers project, it is easy to get some news.

"All right."

"I hope the project can be successful like this." Dan Logan sighed.

!

Greg Silverman frowned and said, "I'm not very optimistic about this project. Although Village Roadshow Pictures shares the investment, I still feel that the risk of letting a black female actor play Catwoman is really great." too big."

Due to the impact of the 911 incident, the status of black people in Hollywood has continued to increase, and the number of films starring black people has gradually increased.

Among them is the Warner Bros. project.

As for Village Roadshow!

This is a cooperative production company established in 1998. Its full name is: Country Roadshow Films. Its parent company is Australia Roadshow Group, which is an Australian local film company.

Village Roadshow rarely makes solo films, mostly in partnership with Warner Bros.

In the previous life, this film company also produced many films in cooperation with Paramount, MGM, Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Dimension Pictures.

At first glance, the business model is somewhat similar to Lucasfilm.

Just not as famous as Lucasfilm.

"Even the film directed by Ryan Gosling chose to reduce the role of Storm Girl."

"Some people choose to cast a black actor as Catwoman." Greg Silverman's tone seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm.

He seems to be mocking some people who are only whimsical.

"Greg, you know." Dan Logan said silently, "Many things are beyond our decision."

"What's more, once it fails, it may be a good thing for us."

"Going forward, the board can only focus on the franchise."

Greg Silverman nodded, and suddenly said: "Is it possible for us to cooperate with Orion Films!"

"Let Ryan Gosling direct!"

Warner Bros. doesn't mind teaming up with other Hollywood studios, such as Village Roadshow, on DC Comics films.

In the previous life, Warner Brothers even reached an agreement with Legendary Pictures to co-finance and produce 40 film and television works.

Among them are the dark trilogy and .

"Unless Orion Pictures can give up the film distribution rights, the board of directors will not agree to cooperate with Orion Pictures."

"Even if it's directed by Ryan Gosling." Dan Logan said a very crucial point.

These film companies that cooperate with Warner Bros. either do not have North American distribution channels or have given up the North American distribution rights of the film, and are only film investment companies and production companies.

"Then it's only released in North America!"

Greg Silverman said meaningfully: "From the global box office of the film released last year, we can see that the proportion of overseas box office of films in the future will become more and more important."

It is nothing more than letting go of North American distribution and retaining overseas distribution.

"If you want to move the project forward, even have Ryan Gosling direct."

"Better move fast."

"The first weekend's box office is likely to be a very astonishing figure, which you can use to convince the board of directors." Dan Logan's face was a little complicated.

Based on the current box office trend, no surprises, the box office will exceed 100 million US dollars in the first weekend.

During the three days of its release, North America earned $100 million at the box office.

A miracle in itself.

However, Ryan Gosling's is creating such a miracle.

In front of the amazing box office data, Greg Silverman may be able to convince the board of directors to cooperate with Orion Pictures.

Compared to the astonishment of Warner Bros. and other Hollywood film companies, Marvel Studios cheered. Almost all the staff became crazy, and there were falling ribbons everywhere.

"The box office on the first day was 44.08 million US dollars!"

"We finally did it!"

"Yes, we really did it!"

Many people couldn't help screaming excitedly, especially the first group of Marvel Studios employees. They witnessed Marvel Comics' decision to establish Marvel Studios to Orion Pictures' wholly-owned acquisition , and then to the release of , , .

It's finally harvest season for Marvel Studios.

Although the critical three-day period of the first weekend is just the beginning, the box office for the next two days on Saturday and Sunday has not yet come out.

But the first-day box office score of US$44.08 million is enough to show that it will not fail.

What's more, the director of this film is a guy named Ryan Gosling, who can create box office miracles.

Besides, on the first day of the movie, the audience’s favorable rate was 96%, and the overall evaluation was A﹢.

This is the most direct reaction of the audience, and it is also the guarantee of the box office trend.

According to the projections made by Orion Films, the research company, and the theater company, the box office of the film on Saturday will not only decline, but will also rise slightly.

In other words, in just two days of its release, the North American box office of the movie may reach more than 90 million US dollars.

Such an achievement will inevitably plunge Marvel Pictures into excitement.

Marvel Pictures, which has only produced three films, seems to have transformed overnight and become a well-known second-tier Hollywood film company.

In contrast, Orion Pictures is much calmer. After all, this is not the first time a film has sold well at the box office on the first day.

Equally calm, there is Natalie Portman, in her eyes, success is an inevitable thing.

After all, the director of this film is called Ryan Gosling.

Every film he's directed since the day she met Ryan has never failed.
