Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 131 The Terminator's Benefit
Just ten days ago, when Qiao Feng was about to finish filming on the mainland and returning to Hong Kong, the Terminator was released from theaters for three months, and the North American box office received more than 47 million US dollars.
Compared with the original box office released in 1984, the North American box office has increased by nearly 10 million US dollars. This is somewhat beyond Qiao Feng’s expectations, but it is actually normal. The original time of 1984 was released on October 26.
This release time can be quite embarrassing. First of all, the first two weeks of its release were basically the coldest box office time of the year.
Labor Day in the United States is on the Monday of the first week of September, which is the time when September has just entered. Almost three months before Labor Day is the hottest summer holiday of the year.
After Labor Day and before the first weekend of November, it is the coldest autumn stall of the year at the box office.
The summer file has exhausted the market development. The autumn file is the time period with the least number of movie viewers in the whole year, and October 26 is the most embarrassing time period, because it is just the last one in the autumn file. Two weekends.
It was supposed to be the first two weeks of the box office war, but it encountered the coldest time period of the year at the box office. It is conceivable that the box office of the Terminator is much worse than other schedules.
After these two weeks have passed, the time has come to the Christmas stall or the holiday stall to be more precise, because during this period of time, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day will gather together and naturally begin to gather again.
This is the awkward situation when the original Space-Time Terminator was released. The first two weeks were the coldest, and the next two months when the blockbuster was crowded with intense competition.
It is not easy to get a box office of more than 38 million yuan without big-name actors and directors, compared to an R-rated movie with an investment of more than 6 million yuan.
What is the concept of R-level, that is, restricted level, that is, audiences aged 13-17 years old must be accompanied by parents or adults to watch.
First of all, the audience under the age of 13 is excluded. If the audience of 13-17 does not have their parents, they can't be accompanied by adults, which will reduce a large part of the audience.
Therefore, it is really not easy for the original space-time terminator to get more than 38 million box office.
Qiao Feng advanced the filming of Terminator to 1982 and the release to February 14, 1983. This time period is not good to be honest, but it is much better than the original October 26.
It will be released on February 14th, not to mention Valentine’s Day. The key point is that this time is the end of the winter time. Most of the movies released in the winter time are literary and artistic films. Generally speaking, there are no works that can win both art and box office How many.
At such a time, a purely commercial film like Terminator is naturally at an absolute box office advantage.
When the Terminator was released for three weeks, it entered the spring time. This time is still quite cold, but it is much better than the autumn time.
The key is that there is no competition for blockbuster movies in winter or spring. The Terminator released during this period as a commercial movie not only has enough commercial elements to attract not so many viewers to buy tickets, but the time is stable enough.
The three-month period is basically a battle between the Terminator and some other small production films, and the Terminator has always been in the leading position.
When the Terminator was about to draw, the time had just entered May, and it was the beginning of the summer file.
It can be said that the release time of the Terminator is really quite good. It was not sooner or later that I avoided the time when the two large films gathered, and also avoided the coldest period of time.
Therefore, there was a box office that was nearly 10 million dollars more than the original time and space.
The 47 million box office in North America eliminates 60% of theater chains and issuers, and the remaining 40% is about 19 million U.S. dollars. Here, the Anne Hurd Company has to pay 2 million U.S. dollars, and finally Qiao Feng has 17 million dollars in his hands.
But this is only gross profit, and it looks like only 13 million yuan is left after the high tax.
After all, with North American box office revenue,
After the overseas screenings, looking at the box office results, it is estimated that there will still be seven million to ten million dollars in the account, but this is not tax deductible.
But these are not big heads. For the films released in North America, the box office revenue accounts for at most 40% to 50% of the total revenue, and the other 50% to 60% are related income such as video tapes and TV broadcast authorization.
These are all small amounts of income, and roughly at least 20 million U.S. dollars can be received.
Unlike in Hong Kong, in Southeast Asia, Qiao Feng wrote so many high-grossing movies, and he has the copyright, but in the end, the peripheral income he got was less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Therefore, making movies is still making money in North America.
However, the peripheral and overseas box offices are a bit far away, and those still have months, a year, or even longer to get them.
The current account is part of the North American box office revenue, but not all of it. It will take some time to get all of it.
However, the funds currently in the account are sufficient to start the film that Qiao Feng had promised to prepare for Guan Zhilin, and another film he planned to perform in person.

"You didn't take advantage of those guys when you filmed the five lucky stars?"
After a fierce battle, Qiao Feng leaned on the bed and smoked afterwards, Zhong Chuhong nestled in his arms like a kitten, enjoying the caress of his man.
Hearing Qiao Feng's concern, Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said with a little nasal sound: "No, I told Brother Sanmao before the filming, not making intimate scenes."
"What do you think of your film?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.
"Very good, it's funny when shooting, and people often laugh. I think the box office should be very good." Zhong Chuhong thought for a while and said.
"Really? Then my film is matched, isn't it a terrible loss?" Qiao Feng made a very frightened look, but the appearance of a cigarette in his mouth showed no fright.
"No, you are the best. If you lose, it is our film." Zhong Chuhong said without thinking.
"Do you say that the film you are acting in is really good?" Qiao Feng joked with a chuckle.
"What's wrong, I got all the pay I should get. Besides, you are on one side and outsiders on the other. Of course, I am facing you and hope your film will win." Zhong Chuhong said of course. Of course there is something she didn't Say, that is Qiao Feng's film has never lost, how can it be an exception this time?
Blind trust, this is all that a woman can give to a man. No matter what you say or do, even if you are against Golden Harvest, who dominates the Hong Kong film scene, even if there is a big brother Hong Jinbao in the film industry, and the most popular The most inspiring Cheng Long, I still believe in you, without any reason, just because it is you.
