Hollywood Hunter

The stock price miracle of Daenerys Entertainment Group's first day of listing attracted too much media and public attention. As a result, some things that should have been very high-profile, did not immediately become the focus of media discussion.

For example, a new Daenerys entertainment movie released on July 1.

Because of the Day of Independence Day, the box office week opened on July 1 and the weekend is calculated based on four days, so it is also the most important period for the North American summer season.

On the day of Daenerys Entertainment's launch, the North American theater launched three new films at the same time. In addition to "Forrest Gump", the other two are "The Life of Wolf and Death" starring Jack Nicholson, produced by Columbia, and Paramount. The film industry produced "Phantom Man" starring Alec Baldwin.

In the past history, because of the clown character in Tim Bolton's version of "Batman" and the subsequent "few good people", the box office broke 100 million, making Jack Nicholson the Hollywood veteran of the four major actor at the box office in the 1990s The one with the highest appeal.

This time, because the big butterfly Simon caused a change in the history of Hollywood, since the box office "East Town Witch" in 1987, the new version of the "Batman" series has no chance of Jack Nicholson, and later the "few good people" "Simon also changed the lead from Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson to Tom Hanks and Robert De Niro. Jack Nicholson hasn’t seen a blockbuster film for seven years. .

The gangster film "Hoffa" starring Jack Nicholson two years ago has a total box office in North America of only $27.24 million. So far, Fox has not recovered all the production cost of $35 million.

As a result, Jack Nicholson, the wolf life and death love, and friend and film writer Wesley Stryker prepared a 12-year film, and the production cost was reduced from the huge budget of up to $70 million in the original time and space. To 50 million US dollars, which is largely due to the shrinking of Jack Nicholson's personal pay. Jack Nicholson only got 5 million US dollars in this film, barely maintaining his worth.

In the original space and time, Jack Nicholson, who was in the limelight during this period, should be paid at the level of 15 million US dollars.

Speaking of that, Robert De Niro, who was supposed to be at the lowest point during this period, because of the continuous selling of films such as "Sixth Sense of Soul" and "Death Poetry Society", it is now the most popular, which is equivalent to taking away The luck that should belong to Jack Nicholson.

In any case, the production cost of "Wolf Life and Death" is still a very important bombshell in this period. The opening screen of the film is also 2,617 pieces. Can Jack Nicholson turn over? Just in one fell swoop.

Another "Phantom Man" was adapted from the comic of the same name published in the United States in the 1920s.

Superheroes similar to DC and Marvel are not easy to find in Hollywood. Several other Hollywood movie companies have watched the success of the DC movie universe. Of course, they are not willing to be involved in the field of manga reform. "Phantom Man" came into being.

Because of Paramount’s attention, the production cost of this overhaul movie has reached 40 million bombshell level, and it has also spared no effort in publicity. Paramount has not only invested a budget of nearly $30 million, but also prepared for the film. A total of 2738 pieces were opened to screen.

It's just a single day holiday period, three blockbusters, and fierce competition can be imagined.

Moreover, compared with "Wolf Life and Death" and "Phantom Man" that are obviously commercial in nature, "Forrest Gump" was promoted by many media as a partial literary art that may be similar to "Rainman" at the production stage. drama.

The original "Rainman" was naturally very successful, but in recent years, the follow-up project "Rainman" has not been able to splash any splashes.

Not only that, after the premiere of "Forrest Gump", it was obviously not as good as the "mediocre" reputation of several other movies in the summer season, such as Daenerys Entertainment, but it also greatly reduced the audience’s desire to watch movies.

Box office bullets with a total investment of up to 70 million US dollars, for Daenerys Entertainment, which happened to be listed in the same period, the negative impact can be imagined.

However, since the box office was released on the first day of the film's opening, although most people's attention is still attracted by the aftermath caused by the listing of Daenerys, many people have noticed that "Forrest Gump" seems to be an unusual box office. data.

On July 1, the first day of large-scale painting, "Forrest Gump" received a box office receipt of 7.69 million US dollars.

This is the box office number that Daenerys Entertainment proactively announced through the Igret portal on Saturday. It also includes the first day box office of "Wolf Life and Death" and "Phantom Man". "Wolf Life and Death" is $5.97 million , "Phantom Man" is 3.16 million US dollars.

The three blockbuster bombs with similar cost and volume, but the first day box office gap is very obvious.

Obviously, at least Paramount's "Phantom Man" has already fallen behind on the first day.

Jack Nicholson's "Wolf Life and Death" has a box office of $5.97 million on the first day. It is expected that this four-day first weekend box office will reach about $25 million. The box office will be around $30 million in the first week. As long as the follow-up trend is stable, it is obvious A 100 million box office club seed.

As for "Forrest Gump", the $6.99 million on the first day clearly exceeded many people's expectations.

After the word-of-mouth ban was lifted on the second day of the premiere, many disappointing media believe that the first week of "Forrest Gump" can reach US$20 million at the box office, which is already considered a success. Such a story about a fool in modern American history The rampant movie has been lucky without being spurned by the audience.

Now, the first day of 7.69 million US dollars, because it is a popular holiday alone, the first week of box office receipts is expected to reach about 35 million US dollars.

In the first week, US$35 million was entered, and the total box office in North America is more likely to exceed 100 million than "Wolf Life and Death".

Although even if North America broke through 100 million, Daenerys Entertainment had to rely on overseas and other follow-up channels to recover the high cost of a total of $70 million, but this project is at least profitable.

More importantly, at the time point when Daenerys Entertainment just went public, "Forrest Gump" did not suffer a fiasco at the box office, in fact, it was equal to success.

When many people were relieved for Daenerys Entertainment, the follow-up box office trend of "Forrest Gump" is almost dazzling.

After the first day of 7.69 million US dollars, the following Saturday, the movie credit jumped to 10.37 million US dollars.

This is actually nothing. Saturday's box office is higher than Friday, even if the increase is too much, it is normal.

However, the following Sunday, "Forrest Gump", which should have dropped slightly at the box office, once again saw a rise in box office receipts, reaching 11.76 million US dollars.

On Monday, on the day of Independence Day holiday, this film, which was initially unpopular and even thought it would drag down the stock price of Daenerys Entertainment, hit a new high at a single-day box office account, reaching 12.83 million US dollars.

Therefore, on July 5, the Day of the Independent Day passed, the public ushered in the first working day after the holiday, the latest Hollywood box office data for a four-day weekend, fell below the eye.

In the four days of painting, the well-regarded "Forrest of Forrest Gump" unexpectedly swept the box office of $42.65 million with a magical one-day trend that continued to fall.

Perhaps it was squeezed by the siphon effect of "Forrest Gump". The four-day box office of "Wolf Life and Death" finally ended at only 21.45 million US dollars, which was a full 4 million US dollars lower than the expected 25 million US dollars. Paramount The "Phantom Warrior", which was focused on building, only had 9.46 million US dollars at the box office on the first Thursday.

The opening of the painting has shown that "Forrest Gump" appeared at the box office of the elephant level, and officially squeezed "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" to the second place, which has maintained the weekly box office championship for four weeks. It is expected to exceed 5000 in the first week. With a box office score of ten thousand dollars, this summer file is second only to such super blockbuster as "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight".

On July 5, when the box office data for the first weekend of "Forrest Gump" was released, an article in the "Los Angeles Times" unreservedly praised'Daenerys Entertainment has a magical magic, a kind of inadvertently everyone The power of miracles'.

According to the first quarter financial data released during the IPO of Daenerys Entertainment, the stock price of Daenerys Entertainment Group reached US$4.775 billion on the day of the listing on July 1, with a total market value of US$112.8 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 43 times.

With a price-to-earnings ratio of over 40 times, the American story at this stage is very common.

However, most of them are high-growth small and medium-sized enterprises, such as super giants like Daenerys Entertainment. Because companies have little room to rise, the price-earnings ratio is generally low, more than 30 times. not much.

The market capitalization ranks close to General Electric of Daenerys Entertainment Group, and the price-earnings ratio is only 19 times.

Everyone thought that after the new week, because of the cooling of market sentiment, the stock price of Daenerys Entertainment will be corrected. However, due to the unexpected success of "Forrest Gump", the stock market opened on July 5. Silk Entertainment's stock price began to rise again after a short period of heavy selling stock prices fell because of the rapid increase in demand.

In order to completely consolidate the phenomenon-level viewing effect that has been formed, Simon signaled Amy Pascal’s additional $10 million announced budget to start quickly on Friday, and the popularity of "Forrest Gump" was further spread in the media and public groups. On the other hand, it boosted the market's confidence in Daenerys Entertainment.

Therefore, on the Monday when many institutions took advantage of the lucrative opportunity to start slow shipments, because of the strong demand for Daenerys Entertainment stocks in the capital market, the stock market closed on that day, and the stock price of Daenerys Entertainment not only did not show the callback that many people expected. Instead, it rose again by 1.3%. The stock price closed at $48.375 that day, and the market value further reached $114.3 billion.

In the following two trading days, the stock price of Daenerys Entertainment Group also continued to rise due to the further spread of the viewing trend of "Forrest Gump".

Finally, on the close of July 8, Daenerys Entertainment Group's share price has reached 50.25 US dollars, and the price-earnings ratio has further reached 45 times. The total market value of the group is as high as 118.7 billion US dollars.

In just three days, the overall increase in Daenerys Entertainment’s stock price relative to the first day of listing was as high as 5.2%. For a corporate giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, every percentage point increase is actually very rare.

On the other hand, from July 1st to July 7th, seven days in the first week of the painting, among the three blockbuster new films last Friday, the most unpredictable "Forrest Gump", the final box office reached 5345 in the first week. Ten thousand dollars, second only to "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" in summer.

The second-ranked "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" slightly led "Wolf Life and Death" with a very weak advantage. This week's drop was 22%. The fifth week of the release was $25.14 million at the box office, and the cumulative box office reached 2009767 Ten thousand US dollars, the threshold of 300 million is close at hand.

Jack Nicholson's "Wolf Life and Death" finally ranked third, with a total of $24.91 million in seven days of the first week, which is a reduction of $5 million compared to the first week of $30 million after the first day of painting.

The opening book of the soul movie universe, "The Spirit", ranked fourth at the box office this week, with a 27% drop at the box office, and then received another 17.62 million US dollars. The cumulative box office reached 84.16 million US dollars.

Daenerys Entertainment has now recovered the total cost of producing and distributing the film up to $40 million.

The fifth place on the list is Paramount’s new movie "Phantom Man". The box office of the first week of the painting was only $14.67 million. The box office score was better than many new films in this summer. However, considering the film $40 million The production cost of the project is estimated to be US$30 million in the total box office in North America, which is still far below Paramount's expectations.

In addition to the top five, Detective Beverly 3, which got a box office of $21.96 million last week when he opened the painting, was originally a bare start. The 51% drop in the next week completely wiped out Paramount. It is expected that the film will only receive 10.72 million US dollars in the second week, with a cumulative box office of 32.72 million US dollars, and the possibility of the total box office in North America hit 50 million US dollars.

The loss of two consecutive heavyweight new films has severely defeated the confidence of the West Gram Group behind Paramount.

Taking over the family business from his father Edgar Bronfman Jr., the head of Seagram who has always been passionate about Hollywood, probably also realizes that the entertainment industry is not so fun.

In the past history, after buying Universal from Panasonic, tossing it for several years, Seagram re-sold Global and sold it to the French Prestige Group. Later, it was tossed again and again, and was taken over by General Electric and merged into NBC Universal.Now, although it will not retreat because of the failure of a summer file, in Simon's view, this time the Hollywood ambition of the Seagram Group will eventually end in failure.

Speaking of the change of hands of the Hollywood entertainment giant, during this time, it was probably stimulated by the success of the Daenerys Entertainment Group. Once again, some people became interested in Hollywood big film companies.

This company happens to be the Prestige Group in France. The acquisition target of the other party is even more interesting, Disney.

You know, in the past history, Disney was the only Hollywood film company that did not change hands after the acquisition and acquisition of Hollywood in the 1980s.
