"Looking at Warner’s film list next year, it’s also coming very aggressively. At the beginning of the year, "Lego Batman", "King Kong: Skull Island" and "Wonder Woman" are all big productions, which will undoubtedly squeeze the living space of other company projects. File, "King Arthur: Legend of the Holy Sword" bounced many times and finally set the file.
Nolan’s first war-themed film "Dunkirk" has been revealed by film critics who have seen the trial screening. It is a rare masterpiece. Of course, the box office is not expected to be too high, but the profit problem is not big. At the end of the year, there will be "Justice League" and "Geomagnetic Storm". Just looking at the lineup, it doesn't seem to be much weaker than Disney, but what I want to say is that in the face of Warner, New Era Pictures has a battle! "
Yang Cheng was surprised, "So confident?"
Donna Lande looked confident, "Of course~"
Yang Cheng smiled and stretched out her hand to indicate, "You continue~"
"Fox is next. This year, because of the initial negotiations with Disney, the performance is extremely strong. It seems to be to prove his worth to Disney. To put it bluntly, it is to raise the price in disguise, so as to sell a good price.
The 15-16 years of "Wild Hunter" and the stunning performance of "Deadpool" enabled Fox to lead Hollywood at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, he encountered three Waterloo "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Independence Day 2" in the summer. , "Ice Age 5" all major productions have fallen into the water, all three have seen a sharp decline compared to the previous ones, just a few months’ time has greatly hurt Fox, and their idea of increasing the price is self-defeating. .
After the half-dead DreamWorks Animation Studio launched the unsuccessful "Kung Fu Panda 3" in the first half of the year, in the second half of the year, it finally recovered a trace of face with "Magic Hair Fairy". November's "Fantasy Castle with Miss" The stamina is amazing, and it is still in theaters. Needless to say, "Assassin's Creed" has never been popular with Hollywood, so it is booked.
As for next year, Fox's film list will be tepid and more stable. It will not have the strength to compete with Disney and Warner, but it will not be reduced to a small company.
"Wolverine 3", as Hugh Jackman's last appearance in the role of Uncle Wolf, is worth looking forward to. The hot sequels "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3" and "Ace Agent 2" will be the main force of Fox's summer file next year, and it is also the only project that can expect the box office. As for Alien’s latest sequels "Contract" and "Murder on the Orient Express", I can't make predictions, but it's hard to have a dazzling performance. "
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly, "Murder on the Orient Express? Fox remakes it?"
Donna didn't know, so, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Ryze explained with a smile, "Boss is acquiring delmond, the parent company of the Orient Express Hotel~"
Donna looked at Yang Cheng in surprise, "So, do you need me to invite Fox to cooperate, do the two parties jointly promote it?"
Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, but I made a temporary motive. The details have not been worked out yet. This matter is not in a hurry. You can contact Fox first. I think they will not let go of things that are beneficial to the announcement. ~"
"No problem, I will contact Fox when I go back~" Donna took this matter seriously in the memo. There is no way, there are too many things. If you don't write it down, you will definitely forget, and you will forget everything else. Donna herself feels too much if she forgets what the boss explained.
When she remembered, she raised her head again, and solemnly said, "Next is the point. Through our previous contact with Sony, they still don’t seem to be ready to let go of Columbia Pictures. No, no, to be precise, they want to take the last breath. Looking at the situation, I decisively chose to suspend the negotiations~"
She smiled, "Sure enough, my choice was correct. I believe that at this moment, Sony Pictures, which is also doing a year-end summary, must regret the suspension of negotiations. Now our offer is definitely not as high as before~"
Yang Cheng was also overjoyed when he heard that, "Continue to hang them, these RB people just don't see rabbits or scatter eagles, let them hold on, anyway, we are not in a hurry."
Eddie also nodded in agreement, "I think so too. If you can successfully acquire Columbia Pictures, you won't be too far away from Disney and Warner. Even if it takes two more years, it's worth it."
Donna snorted, "Yes, this year Sony’s highest-grossing project in North America turned out to be "Ghostbusters", and the second is "Angry Birds". This is also their second North American project with a box office of over 100 million. Disney and Warner are just for recharging."
Yang Cheng said in surprise, "I thought it was miserable, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable. What are the RB people doing? By the way, when I came back from the Middle East last month, I watched a movie "Shark Beach" on the plane. Sony produced it, right? I think it's okay."
Donna nodded and said, "Yes, "Shark Beach" has a very good reputation, but after all, it is an original movie, and the box office performance is very average. In addition, many projects including Tom Hanks's "Dante Code" are in a mess. By the way, Sony will launch a project called "Passenger" at Christmas. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence will carry the box office. The evaluation of internal screenings is average, and it's good if you don't lose money."
Yang Cheng sighed. These two are the most popular fried chickens in recent years, a Xingjue and a big cousin. It stands to reason that these two are famous enough to carry a medium-sized production, but what about the movie? Good is good, bad is bad, word-of-mouth collapse, even big-name celebrities have to be sprayed into dogs, there is no room for negotiation.
"As for next year, Sony has only one blockbuster project~"
Before Donna Rand finished speaking, Yang Cheng blurted out, "It must be Spiderman, right?"
Donna laughed, "Yes~"
Yang Cheng stretched out her hand, "I know that the trick used by RB people is to use spiders to scare people every time a problem occurs, not to mention that it can continue to live~"
"This time there is Disney support This breath should be able to breathe."
"Then let them survive for a year, and wait 18 years before stepping up the pace of negotiations."
Donna nodded, "Understood~"
He paused, "Continuing to talk about Universal, they won the first championship in the new millennium last year, but they may be too lucky and lack "Fast and Furious", "Minions", "Jurassic World" The three ace series, this year's global performance is as miserable as Sony."
Speaking of Universal, Donna Lande could not help but feel a sense of hatred for iron and steel. After all, it is her old club. It is inevitable to have feelings. Yang Cheng can also understand it, and he is more clear that the reason why Universal has last year’s Wonderful performance is inseparable from Donna's layout before leaving.
In the current situation, Universal can be said to be a poor hand. "Snow White and the Hunter 2" launched a sequel when the previous game was not ideal. I don't know what the successor president thinks, and there is an epic rottenness. The film "Warcraft" and "The Bournegro 5" barely returned some blood, otherwise Universal will follow in Sony's footsteps and become the laughing stock of the audience and talk about it after dinner!
