Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 344: Three Powers Strive for Hegemony

Warner and Wald Pictures have frequently resorted to small methods. Even though Paramount Pictures, one of the six largest companies, has rich experience in problem solving, the short-term box office gains have been greatly affected. Impact.

November 9th:

Paramount’s new work "Dropped End" received a single daily box office of $15.6 million, ranking first in the North American box office rankings of that day;

Second place, "Reaper is Coming" by Wald Pictures, 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’ Haunted Mansion, received a box office of 3.07 million U.S. dollars, and a cumulative box office of 33.9 million U.S. dollars in North America;

As for the movies in other rankings, most of them are horror movies with small costs.

The prelude of "Driftwood Valley" dominates the rivers and lakes begins~

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, send a moth to Paramount.

No way, all have to eat!

Everything is for profit.

In the coming days...

Although the movie "Guillotine Valley" is excellent, it is also very restrictive.

After all, the Halloween schedule is a schedule for lovers of horror and thriller themes. Compared with family carnival, sci-fi, and action films, its overall audience is still much smaller.

In a word, the box office performance of "Dropped Head" is lower than Paramount's expectations!

"Tsk tut~"

"The horror movie with a cost of 60 million US dollars is indeed a big deal. The movie is made quite well. However, the audience of horror and thriller themes is always those people. There are also movies such as "Reaper Is Here" and "Hunter House". It’s also difficult to fully display "Decapitation Valley"!"

"Paramount's "Guillotine Valley" this year will not make money even if the box office in North America reaches 100 million."

"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 Lei Shidong is about to explode!"

.......

Wald Pictures.

"Boss, it's really not easy~ In order to cope with this Halloween schedule, we, Wald Pictures, and our parent company, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, have made a lot of effort!" 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 for "Guillotine Valley" is not an ordinary type. The film is comparable."

"Haha. Boss, anyway, this Halloween schedule, our "Reaper is coming" is the top spot. It is already an established fact and worth celebrating." Kevin Fitch was a little excited.

The opponent is the Big Six!

Being able to surpass the top six box offices in a single period is definitely a remarkable achievement.

Throughout the establishment of Wald Films, there have been countless wars, but it is not uncommon to see a time like this Halloween schedule.

Zhuke is still a little proud of being able to suppress Paramount and Warner movies in one fell swoop.

The same is true for Kevin Fitch.

Where is there no passion for young people?Where is the fear of fighting?

however......

At this moment, Bill McNick, the president of Wald Pictures, poured cold water on Zhuke and Kevin rather ruthlessly.

"A Halloween schedule, what do we have to be proud of?"

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, just ask us Wald Since the establishment of the film industry, has it made any achievements in this period?"

The beginning of the summer holiday is bound to be full of large and powerful movies.

Apart from the two major A-line productions of "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man" currently being filmed by Wald Pictures, they are basically produced at a low cost. How can they make a difference in the summer?

Destiny must be reduced to cannon fodder!

Suddenly, Zhuke and Kevin were speechless.

Old Bill continued: "Look at the Thanksgiving holiday schedule again, can our company make a difference?"

Fart~

Since the end of the 1980s, the Thanksgiving holiday schedule has been the six major private places in Hollywood. Even DreamWorks can't get in. The rest of the movies that are released will all fall victim to it.

Sad~sigh~

"Speaking of the last Christmas period, we have nothing to do."

Old Bill Lingran said: "The three best schedules for Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas at the end of May have always been the six best timetables and the means. We at Wald Pictures have not been able to get involved."

"Huh~"

Zhuke snorted coldly, and said, "What are you afraid of? The "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" movies will be released on the schedule you call them. 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 win."

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 the Halloween time. 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 to make a fortune is a good strategy.

However, now that the Wald Film Industry has grown to a certain size, it is already impossible for it to continue its wretched development and make a fortune.

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 fists.

Furthermore, Zhu Ke has an urgent desire to acquire large companies.

As long as it can acquire any one of the big six film companies, then Wald Pictures has truly stabilized the basics since then, and there is no longer any fear of strangulation by other forces.

Small means are always small means, even if they can play a certain role, they have little effect on the overall situation.

Horizontal push is king!

Strength is the hard power!

This time for Halloween, the reason why Zhuke's Wald Pictures 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~"

Zhu Ke 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?
