Chapter 339: 3 strong fights for hegemony, no victory!
Warner and Wald Pictures’ small methods are frequently used. Even though Paramount Pictures, one of the six largest, has a wealth of experience in problem-solving, it still suffers from the short-term box office gains. Impact.
November 9th:
Paramount’s new work "Dropped Head" received a single daily box office of $15.6 million, ranking first in the North American box office rankings of that day;
The second place, Wald Pictures’ "Reaper is Coming", received a box office of 5.2 million U.S. dollars on that day, and a cumulative box office of 62.1 million U.S. dollars in North America;
No. 3, Warner Bros. Pictures’ "Hunter Mansion", which received a box office of 3.07 million U.S. dollars, and a cumulative North American box office of 33.9 million U.S. dollars;
As for the movies in other rankings, most of them are horror movies with a small cost.
The prelude to "Drop Head Valley" dominates the rivers and lakes has begun~
However, as the previous two strong presences, Warner and Wald Pictures naturally do not want the strong rise of "Guillotine Valley". In addition to causing trouble for Paramount in terms of media promotion, they are also in theaters and offline markets. Field, give Paramount a moth.
There is no way, I have to eat!
Everything is for profit.
In the following days...
Although the movie "Driftwood Valley" is excellent, it is also very restrictive.
Halloween schedule is a schedule for horror/thriller lovers after all. Compared with family carnival, sci-fi, and action movies, its overall audience is still much smaller.
In a word, the box office performance of "Drop Head" is lower than Paramount's expectations!
"啧啧啧~"
"The horror film with a cost of 60 million US dollars is indeed a big deal. The film is made quite well. However, the audience for horror/thriller themes is always just those people. There are also films such as "Reaper Is Coming" and "Haunted Mansion". "Dropped Head" is also difficult to fully perform!"
"Paramount's "Guillotine Valley" this year will not make money even if the box office in North America reaches 100 million yuan."
"That is, the peripheral products of horror-themed movies have always been inferior to other types of movies."
"The little tricks of Warner and Wald Pictures, haha, caused Paramount to lose at least $15 million in box office results."
"I heard that Redstone is almost exploding!"
...
Wald Pictures.
"Boss, it's really not easy~ In order to cope with this Halloween schedule, our company, Wald Pictures, and the parent company, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, have put a lot of effort into it!" Kevin Fitch exclaimed.
"Ok!"
Zhu Ke nodded heavily and said: "This time, Warner is here, otherwise, but with the strength of our family, it is really difficult to shake Paramount! After all, the volume of the production cost of 60 million U.S. dollars in "Guillotine Valley" is not an ordinary type. The film is comparable."
"Hehe. Boss, anyway, this Halloween schedule, our "Reaper is coming" is the top spot. It is already an established fact and it is worth celebrating." Kevin Fitch was a little excited.
The opponent is the top six!
Being able to surpass the top six box offices in a single period is definitely a remarkable achievement.
Throughout the establishment of Wald Pictures, there have been countless small battles, but it is not uncommon to have a time like this Halloween schedule.
can suppress Paramount and Warner movies in one fell swoop, and Zhuke is still a little proud.
Kevin Fitch is the same.
Where is there no blood for young people? Where is the fear of fighting?
However...
At this moment, as the president of Wald Pictures, Bill McNick poured cold water on Zhuke and Kevin rather ruthlessly.
"It's just a Halloween time, what do we have to be proud of and book a book?"
Old Bill said solemnly: "Memorial Day at the end of May every year, as the beginning of the summer vacation, it has always been a battleground for major companies, and it is one of the best schedules for reaping the box office. But, let us ask Wald. Since the establishment of the film industry, has it made any achievements in this period?"
The beginning of the summer file is bound to be crowded with large and powerful films.
Wald Pictures, except for the two major A-line productions of "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man" currently being filmed, are basically made at a low cost. How can they make a difference in the summer?
must be reduced to the fate of cannon fodder!
Suddenly, Zhuke and Kevin were speechless.
Old Bill continued: "Look at the Thanksgiving holiday schedule again, can our company have a good time?"
fart~
The Thanksgiving holiday schedule has been the six largest private places in Hollywood since the late 1980s. Even DreamWorks can't get involved, and the rest of the movies that are released have all fallen victim to it.
sad~sigh~
"Speaking of the last Christmas time, we have nothing to do."
Old Bill Lingran said: "The three best timetables for Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas at the end of May have always been the six best timetables and means. We at Wald Pictures have not been able to get involved."
"Huh~"
Zhu Ke snorted coldly, and said, "What are you afraid of? The "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" movies will be released on the schedule you say. They are the Charge, and I won't always pick up those off-season rags! "
Kevin Fitch also firmly said: "Next year, it will not necessarily win or lose."
Happiness!
Old Bill applauded and said with satisfaction: "It's right now. If you want to do it, do it head on. There is nothing to say if you win a Halloween schedule. It can be on Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas at the end of May. During this period, by winning the Big Six, Wald Pictures will not be underestimated by anyone."
Borrowing and making a fortune is a good countermeasure.
But, now that Wald Pictures has grown to a certain size, it is impossible for them to continue to grow awkwardly and make a fortune in a muffled voice.
The Big Six are not fools.
On the contrary, they are all cunning hunters!
"If you don't catch up and strive hard, Wald Pictures will never really rise." Zhu Ke secretly clenched his fist.
Even, Zhu Ke has an urgent desire to acquire large companies.
As long as it can acquire any one of the six film companies ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, then Wald Pictures has truly stabilized the basics, and there is no need to be afraid of other forces' strangulation.
Small means are always small means. Even if they can play a certain role, they have little effect on the overall situation.
Push horizontally, is the kingly way!
Strong strength is hard power!
This Halloween schedule, the reason why Zhu Ke's Wald Films can get the highest box office is nothing more than occupying a great advantage. It is the result that the six majors did not pay too much attention to. After all, the six eyes are always on those popular schedules.
To be honest, Wald Pictures is a little unsuccessful this time!
"Wald Pictures has a long way to go!"
...
On this day, Zhuke stopped working and drove to the hotel to attend the wedding of the 82-year-old "gambling king" Kirk Kecorian.
Kirk Kecorian is not only one of the founders of the Las Vegas gaming industry, but also the owner of the Hollywood movie giant MGM, with a net worth of billions of dollars.
"MGM~"
Zhuke smiled and said, "I really want to buy it!"
Although MGM Films is getting worse and worse than the six giants of Disney, Paramount, Columbia, Universal, Warner, and Fox in the same period, it has a seat in the review and rating committees of the American Film Association. of.
7 seats, representing the supreme giant status!
How can Zhuke not be greedy?
