On the day of the premiere, there were as many as 620 cinemas opened.
"sure!"
"Unexpectedly, Wald Pictures now has such a strong distribution capability in the British film market."
"The number of cinemas opened is as high as 620 cinemas. Although this cannot be compared with the American film market, in the UK, it already accounted for more than 35% of the day's film schedule."
Many filmmakers were amazed!
No way, the UK is an island country after all, and its movie market is just this size.
Paramount Pictures.
President Shirley Lansing again gave Vice President Jordan an order.
"Be sure to pay close attention to the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the UK!"
She is well aware that once the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" film has achieved excellent box office results in the British film market, it will inevitably affect the American film market in the near future, and greatly affect the American film market. Arrangement situation.
"They are betting!"
President Shirley Lansing said with a solemn expression: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone" film in the British film market, once the box office results fail to meet expectations, or even lose the box office, then Wald Pictures will finalize the 1920s The number of cinemas in North America is bound to be reduced."
"But, once it succeeds..."
"Then our interests will be greatly harmed."
At this moment, Shirley Lansing deliberately spoiled her, and even wanted to make a trick.
But she can't!
First, the British film market is not a domestic American market after all. Paramount, as one of the six major Hollywood players, will weaken its strength and influence a lot when fighting overseas;
Second, Zhu Ke is not easy to mess with either!
.......
Paramount is watching the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the UK. Similarly, Universal Pictures, Sony Columbus, Warner, 20th Century Fox, Disney and other film companies are also watching Its box office situation.
Touchstone Pictures, DreamWorks Movies, Emperor Gate Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment...
These film companies are also watching.
"Man, the Christmas season has been the top six private places in Hollywood!"
"So far, the rising stars who want to challenge the hegemony of the Big Six in this period are endless, but...all are falling into the sand. Can he Zhuke Wald succeed?"
Many people can't help but raise this question in their hearts.
Someone is looking forward to it.
Similarly, some people are waiting to see the jokes.
There is never a shortage of people with "bad hearts" and "bad hearts" in the world. Such people will never see that others are better than him.
"Wait for death!"
"The Big Six of Hollywood are like emperors, dominating the entire movie market."
"Yes, even this time during the Christmas season, Warner Inc. killed itself due to internal struggles and was the first to get out. But the other six major Hollywood companies are not good bullies."
"Hehe, Wald Pictures wants to make a big deal, and it's impossible to say that this time it will be smashed!"
Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Pictures, was behind the scenes more than once, mocking Zhuke himself and Wald Pictures.
"Look, take a good look!"
Shay said: "This time around Christmas is the beginning of the decline of Wald Pictures."
As for the previous brilliant achievements of Wald Pictures, he has consciously ignored them.
Especially the "Spider-Man" movie released not long ago.
So far, the "Spider-Man" movie, which has been released for more than 3 months, has earned more than 320 million US dollars in the box office in North America ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ the global cumulative box office is as high as 810 million. Even if the final box office does not exceed 900 million US dollars, this result is excellent enough to make many filmmakers crazy.
Of course Shay was very upset.
"Humph!"
Xie Yi coldly snorted: "Next year! Wait until tomorrow, when my "Lord of the Rings" movie comes out, who will say I am inferior to that **** Zhuke."
To be honest, there is no conflict between Zhu Ke and Shay. When the two talked face to face, they talked and laughed, but... Shay just couldn't understand Zhu Ke's high spirits.
The next day.
