Chapter 1090： Warner Bros. fooled!

"The Story of Xiao Ba" is very popular. It reached a box office of 225 million yuan in the first three days of the show, which is higher than "The Gift of Room No. 7".

The reason is not that "The Story of Xiao Ba" is better than "The Gift of Room Seven".

There are two main reasons.

First of all, "The Gift of Room No. 7" was only shown on 3,500 screens, while "The Story of Xiao Ba" was 6,000 screens.

The number of screens almost doubled, and as a result, "The Story of Xiao Ba" only led the box office by 20 million.

This shows the number of diehard fans, "The Story of Xiao Ba" is not as good as "The Gift of Room No. 7".

Then "The Gift in Room No. 7" was released in October 2015, and now "The Story of Xiao Ba" was released in March 2017, and a year and a half have passed.

In this year and a half, people's consumption habits have grown enough again, consumption on entertainment has become higher and higher, and the number of people watching movies has also increased.

Therefore, "The Story of Xiao Ba" is watched by more people, which is reasonable.

But Shen Huan can tell from this that, at least in China, the stamina of "Little Eight Things" is not as good as "The Gift of Room No. 7".

The extended version of the director’s edit DVD of "The Gift of Room No. 7" can be sold in China more than 3 million copies. What an honor is this?

According to the situation of Baidu cloud disk and Thunder BT downloading everywhere in China, it is the first time that genuine DVDs can sell so many.

This shows the importance of diehard fans.

Among the fans who watched "The Story of Xiao Ba" this time, there must be quite a few fans of "The Gift of Room No. 7"!

Let's talk about the foreign box office.

"The Story of Xiao Ba" has a very strong box office trend in Japan and South Korea, directly occupying the first place in the box office of the week, and the advantage is unshakable.

is also a Confucian cultural circle, and it is also a topic that everyone likes to talk about "loyalty". Of course, Japanese and Korean audiences also like it.

Moreover, there are a lot of pet owners in these two countries. Aiwu and Wuxia, "The Story of Xiao Ba" is naturally popular.

This time I talked to Guo Hang and Yang Shu about advertising endorsements. There are Japan's largest pet food company and pet supplies company. They have already signed contracts quickly and are eagerly preparing to start advertising.

In Europe and America, "Little Eight Story" is also trending well, and the box office has exceeded 10 million US dollars.

A film without any European and American actors participating in it, and it is a literary film. It is commendable to have such a result in the first weekend.

But the most popular is not "The Story of Xiao Ba", but "Joker".

Yes.

The film that Shen Huan fully invested in was also released in the aftermath of the Berlin Film Festival.

Warner Bros. gave them 2,000 screens. As a result, they blasted out 53 million box office in the first weekend, directly topping the box office champion, and became the single-week box office champion in March since North American film history!

The average daily income of a single library is close to 10,000 U.S. dollars. With only 2,000 screens, it won a box office of 53 million U.S. dollars. This is amazing!

is not only the box office performance, the evaluation of "Joker" is also particularly high, the freshness of rotten tomatoes reached 98%, and the score was as high as 9.5 points.

This is the highest rated movie in the past two years!

"Too real, so sad! The director and protagonist are amazing! I just watched it three times!"

"I used to hate this neurotic idiot, but now I know that the clown had such an unbearable past!"

"Is it the clown's fault? In the beginning, he loved acting, loved this society, took care of his mother, and was willing to help others to make the children in the orphanage happy! What's wrong with this? It's all in this cruel society. He has reached this point step by step!"

"When I see the clown, I seem to see myself, but I can hold on, so I am not as desperate as the clown!"

"Jacques Phoenix's acting skills are definitely at the level of an Oscar actor, and I look forward to him winning the next Oscar actor!"

"It is a kind of enjoyment to be able to see such a movie! Great support!!"

"……"

After seeing these comments, Warner Bros. was overjoyed and immediately arranged an expanded screening for the second week, preparing to keep it on 3,000 screens even during the working day.

But when they were happy, they started to furious again.

the reason is simple.

Because they were deceived when talking to Todd Phillips!

Todd Phillips, representing Shen Huan’s Fengxiang Film and Television, bought the remake of the role of Joker for US$20 million, plus abandoning the box office share of "Joker".

10 million US dollars to buy the copyright of the remake, there is no problem, the normal price.

But the following operations made the people of Warner Bros. heartbroken!

Because they were not optimistic about the prospects of "Joker", their vice president in charge of negotiations, under the coax of Todd Phillips, took the price of 10 million US dollars and gave up the box office profit sharing of "Joker".

This is the specific use of 20 million US dollars.

According to normal circumstances, "Joker" has to get 200 million US dollars in the box office, and Warner Bros. can get 10 million US dollars in share.

This is actually no problem.

Even if the box office of "Joker" is determined to exceed 200 million, it may reach four or five billion dollars, which is not a big mistake.

After all, Warner Bros. still has a 12% distribution share. This is a guarantee that the higher the box office, the greater their profits.

What makes Warner Bros. even more distressed is that Fengxiang Films used 30 million US dollars to take away 30% of the peripheral copyright share that should belong to Warner!

This peripheral copyright includes TV broadcast copyright, network broadcast copyright, UU reading www.uukanshu. com also has more important DVD copyrights and copyrights for the development of various peripheral products!

If the clown continues to develop like this and won a box office of three to five billion dollars, according to normal estimates, its income from peripheral rights should also be this amount.

Then Warner Bros.’s will be at least $100 million!

Sold this right for a mere US$30 million, which is simply a shame to the company!

No matter how big your Warner Bros. brand is, the contract you signed is a contract, and you are not allowed to shame.

Warner Bros. can also play tricks on the release, such as reducing the scale of the release.

But this is also destroying the influence and value of the "Joker" brand owned by Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. couldn't bear to think of making big profits from "Joker" in the future.

In desperation, they can only pinch their noses and continue their previous decision-3000 screens on weekdays, and wait until the weekend to increase to 5000, and strive to get "Joker" more box office!

Anyway, the honor of "Joker" always belongs to Warner Bros.!

This is the only place where they can comfort themselves!
