Hollywood starts with animation

February 14, at 1 o'clock in the morning.

The long-advertised movie "My Grand Greek Wedding" was officially released in 2150 theaters in North America, occupying 18.9% of the North American film market that day, ranking second.

It is second only to Warner Group's movie "Trust in a Bottle" with a 19.3% film placement rate.

Such a filming rate naturally aroused many people's doubts in the outside world.

"That's not right."

Jordan, head of the distribution department of Paramount Pictures, was shocked: "Warner Group made a positive shot this time, and "My Grand Greek Wedding" is now full of negative news. It is reasonable and reasonable. The film industry has such a high filming rate?"

Harvey Weinstein, Miramax Pictures, is also very puzzled.

"Something's wrong!"

"This is so wrong!"

"Wold Pictures has indeed developed well in recent years, and some have risen strongly, but for the theaters, how can it compare to Warner Group in the weight of Wald Pictures?"

"So what's the problem?"

"In the past, there was negative news and slander. Afterwards, Warner Group looked at it. The theaters are considering profit. How can it be impossible to give Wald Pictures the second highest film output that day?"

Harvey Weinstein was a little bit jealous when he was puzzled!

Because of his film company Miramax, there is also a movie released during Valentine's Day.

Although the production cost of the film "Slim Girl" is less than 10 million US dollars, it has a good reputation, but it has set off a wave of "youth film" craze, and the box office is not low today.

but!

Now that Wald Pictures has a high volume of new films, it is bound to reduce the volume of other films.

For example: Miramax's "Slim Girl".

"Slim Girl" also had 900 theaters and more than 1,400 screens yesterday, accounting for 9% of the total film output;

Today, however, it has been reduced to 720 cinemas and 930 screens, accounting for only 6% of the total number of movies in North America that day.

As the number of films discharged decreases, the income will naturally decrease!

You say, can Harvey Weinstein not be angry?

"Damn Zhuke Wald, damn Warner Group!" Harvey cursed.

Due to the release of Wald Pictures’ new films, many new films from film companies have all been reduced by theaters today.

Of those film companies, which one has no grievances?

However, they have no way!

Even Time Warner Group has not suppressed Wald Pictures' film output. What can they do?!

at the same time.

An executive from the distribution department of Warner Group took the initiative to call a senior executive of Emperor Entertainment, one of the three major theaters in North America.

"Schmidt, why did your Emperor Entertainment increase the output of Wald Pictures?"

Warner Group executive Robyn has some grievances.

"I do not know."

Schmidt of the theater said on the phone.

"You don't even know?"

Warner executive Robon frowned and said: "Schmidt, this is different from what we said before. You promised me that your Emperor Entertainment will not give Wald Pictures more than 300 theaters, but now There are more than 500 his mothers. There are also AMC Cinemas, Ximanke Cinemas, and the same. I clearly said that I was okay, but now I have turned my face and denied it."

Hearing this, Schmidt of the theater side could not help but feel a little annoyed.

Who is he?

He Schmidt is the vice president of Emperor Entertainment and the head of Emperor Entertainment in the Washington area of ​​the United States. He is responsible for coordinating many theaters.He can cooperate with Warner and adjust the schedule for certain movies, but he is not an employee of Warner!

"Roborn, what is your tone?"

"Are you accusing me?!"

"You remember, I am not your subordinate!"

"Finally, since we have been friends for many years, I tell you that the reason why our Emperor Entertainment has increased the filming rate for Wald Pictures is the decision of the company's board of directors."

The decision of Emperor Entertainment's board of directors?

"......"

For a while, Warner executive Robon was dumbfounded.

It is true that Warner is strong, and it is perfectly okay to claim to be the top six in Hollywood, but they can only exert influence on the theaters and absolutely have no right to decide.

Now that the board of directors of Emperor Entertainment has come forward, they have nothing to do with Warner.

Is it possible to become a Wald Films and fail to break out with Emperor Entertainment, one of the three major theaters in North America?

Moreover, now it is not only Emperor Entertainment, but also Ximanke and AMC, both of the three major theaters.Is it still impossible to fall out?

No one can bear such a loss!

"Damn~!"

Suddenly, Robone was furious.

.......

Wald Pictures.

"Huh~~"

Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Waldkuye, looked at the report in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the theaters have stabilized, otherwise our box office results would be absolutely unimaginable." Kevin Fitch said with lingering fear.

After all, their current opponent is the behemoth Warner Group!

"Oh, yes, old Bill, do you know how the boss manages the theater?" Kevin Fitch asked.

In terms of influence in theaters, Wald Pictures is far less powerful than Warner Group.

"I really know this."

President Bill old smiled and said: "Just two days ago, the boss met with the chairman of the three major theaters of Emperor Entertainment, AMC, and Ximanke respectively, and proposed a gambling agreement. "My Grand Greek Wedding" North American total box office If it is less than US$150 million, then the BOSS will completely abandon the revenue of "My Grand Greek Wedding" and make up for the box office loss of the three major theaters of less than 150 million."

Gambling treaty?

A $150 million North American box office?

At this moment, Kevin Fitch could not help being surprised!

Box office gambling treaties were once popular in the American film market.

Especially in the mid-1980s.

However, with the development of time, the pattern of competition for hegemony between hundreds of theaters has transformed into a movie market led by the three major theaters and many small theaters.The pattern is broken, and the box office gambling model is no longer popular, and it is even rare.

but.......

Today, Zhu Ke's $150 million box office gambling still attracts the interest of the three major theaters.

Why don't you make money if you have money?

As for Warner's influence, hehe, as long as Warner doesn't want to fall out with the three major theaters, then no one can stop them from making more money.

Benefits are fundamental!

Others lack confidence in "My Grand Greek Wedding." Zhu Ke is a traverser. Don't you know the potential of this film?

Warner wants to frustrate, and it's done!

"That said, now only media considerations are left." Kevin Fitch murmured.

The power of the media, looking at the whole world, who can compare to Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Group?

A lot of negative news will undoubtedly hurt the box office of "My Grand Greek Wedding" greatly. This is a problem that everyone in Wald Pictures has to consider.

It is an indisputable fact that Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, the parent company of Wald Pictures, is far inferior to Time Warner in its media power!

"Ha ha!"

Old Bill smiled again: "Kevin, our boss has amazing potential in terms of chattering, don't you know that? You look okay, there is a good show next."

"Uh?"

Kevin Fitch was taken aback for a moment.

"" The first update is sent.

When I came back from a business trip, I started to make up the owed updates.
