"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" grossed $11.2 million in its first day of release, and it was still in the UK.

The media and Hollywood were dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the box office of the film's first day in North America that people really realized the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The first-day box office in North America was US$32.33 million, surpassing the US$22.36 million box office on the first day of the summer file "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", and broke the first-day box office record in North America set by "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

For the first time, the first-day box office in North America broke through more than 30 million US dollars, and it was the first time to break the first-day box office record during the holiday schedule.

However, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" soon broke the box office record again, earning $33.51 million in a single day on Friday.

Saturday's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" earned another $24.44 million at the box office.

In just three days after its release, the North American box office of the film reached 90.29 million US dollars.

The media has begun to exclaim that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will become the fastest film in North America to break through $100 million at the box office.

In the UK, which was released at the same time, "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" also showed an unparalleled box office. It was released for three days, and the UK box office of the film reached 23.04 million US dollars.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" set yet another box office record, becoming the fastest film to break $100 million worldwide.

So far, the film's global box office has reached 113 million US dollars.

In contrast, the production cost paid by Orion Pictures and Warner Bros. is only 130 million US dollars.

Not counting the promotional expenses of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", within three days of its release, Orion Pictures and Warner Bros. have recovered most of their investment.

Many media began to predict that based on the box office trend of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", Orion Pictures and Warner Bros. will be able to recover all investment costs before the next weekend.

Orion Pictures teamed up with Warner Bros. to create an incredible miracle.

A miracle of fortune belonging to Hollywood.

As we all know, a family movie similar to "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the original book is also a popular children's book, and the income brought by the copyright and merchandise around the film will not be lower than the global box office. income.

Even, it exceeds the revenue brought by the film's global box office.

As you can imagine, for a long time in the future, neither Orion Pictures nor Warner Bros. will have to worry about funding.

Instead, you need to worry about how to legally avoid taxes.

In fact, Orion Pictures has long been worried about legal tax avoidance.

Even after various legal means of tax avoidance, Orion Pictures will pay a large amount of taxes in April next year.

The best option, other than investing it out as soon as possible, is only a large donation.

With the box office success of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", it has also ushered in a busy schedule.

For example, continue to maintain investment in publicity, increase orders for peripheral products, and release plans for other overseas countries, etc.

There is also the reaction of Universal Pictures and Disney, as well as the adaptation rights of the remaining "Harry Potter" works.

"Sunday grossed $20.86 million at the box office!"

"In other words, the North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" exceeded $100 million."

Greg Silverman's eyes are hot, and the big sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" not only allow Warner Bros. to make up for the losses caused by the failure of the "Batman" series of films.

Even, far more than the "Batman" series of films.

"Warner Bros. chose to cooperate with Orion Films, which is definitely the most correct decision."

Greg Silverman suddenly thought of Paramount, and couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm. I'm afraid Shirley Lansing has already tasted the taste of regret.

For this reason, at the Paramount board meeting, Shirley Lansing was furious, making many directors unable to step down from the stage, and their faces were very ugly.

The partner Orion Pictures chose was not Warner Bros., but Paramount.

However, Paramount has not agreed.

As a result, Greg Silverman came to the door on behalf of Warner Bros., and personally facilitated the cooperation with Orion Pictures, and even persuaded Time Warner executives to support the operation of the "Harry Potter" project.

Today, within four days of its release, the first film "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has accumulated a box office of 110 million US dollars in North America.

It proved how correct his original decision was.

"Now is not the time to relax."

Ryan glanced at Greg Silverman who was sitting across from him, "We still have a lot to do."

"As far as I know, Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Disney, and Sony Pictures have all contacted Rowling, intending to buy the rights to adapt the remaining works in her plan."

Greg Silverman also received the news that the conditions offered by the film company were even more generous than those offered by Orion Pictures and Warner Bros., "No matter how many "Harry Potter" movies are left, they can only It belongs to us."

"I will work with Nancy as soon as possible to obtain the adaptation rights of the remaining "Harry-Potter"."

Warner Bros. puts more emphasis on the rights to the remaining "Harry Potter" adaptations than Orion Pictures.

In addition to "Harry-Potter", Orion Films also has series of films such as "The Lord of the Rings: The Knight of the Two Towers", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "Spider-Man" and so on.

Warner Bros. only has Harry Potter.

Arguably, "Harry Potter" is Warner Bros.' most important project.

Even if it needs to share the benefits of "Harry Potter" with Orion Pictures.

Not to mention the four days of its release, the North American box office earned 110 million U.S. dollars, and the sales of peripheral products alone reached more than 100 million U.S. dollars.

The final profit of this film must be amazing.

"Better hurry up."

Ryan tapped his fingers lightly, "Also, I want to talk about the release of the next Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

Hearing this, Greg Silverman frowned indiscernibly, and then said calmly, "Is there any problem?"

"Of course." Ryan didn't seem to see the change in Greg Silverman, and said lightly: "I hope that the next "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be jointly released by Orion Pictures and Warner Bros. "

There is no mention of Warner Bros. being in charge of North American distribution and Orion Films being in charge of overseas distribution, but that they are jointly responsible for the release of the next Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

This is already the greatest sincerity and concession that Ryan can express.

After all, the promotional operation of the next "Harry-Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will rely on Time Warner Group.

"I need to go back and talk to the board."

Greg Silverman breathed a sigh of relief, co-distributing "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with Orion Pictures is not unacceptable.

When "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" came out on the first day of box office in the UK, Warner Bros. had already predicted that the release of the next "Harry-Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", Orion Pictures would not agree to just continue Responsible for North American distribution.

"This matter, I don't think it should be a big problem."

Greg Silverman changed his voice and talked about another matter, "Ryan, I think we should talk about the cooperation on "Alexander the Great."

"If Orion Pictures agrees to share half of the investment, then Warner Bros. can be responsible for the remaining half of the investment."

"King Alexander"!

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone cost $130 million to make."

Ryan shook his head and said, "$155 million investment is too much."

"It's better to squeeze the movie budget under $100 million."

Greg Silverman nodded. His opinion was similar to that of Ryan. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also hoped that the film budget could be reduced.

Even if Warner Bros. takes out a one-time investment of 155 million U.S. dollars, it must be carefully considered.

In case the film's box office fails to meet expectations, Warner Bros. will have to pay for vomiting blood.

Otherwise, Warner Bros. would not choose to cooperate with Orion Pictures.

One is to share risks together, and the other is to believe in Ryan Gosling's vision.

As long as Orion Pictures agrees to share half of the investment, Warner Bros. will definitely not hesitate to take out the remaining half of the investment.

Otherwise, Warner Bros. needs to think about it.

There was a knock on the door, and Greg Silverman's office secretary walked in with Moritz Berman and Oliver Stone.

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but glance at Greg Silverman, no wonder he suddenly mentioned "Alexander the Great". .
