Paramount Pictures.

"This is really shocking!"

Paramount Pictures President Shirley Lansing put down the newspaper and said in shock: "Without the participation of American Online, the power of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group alone can actually shake Warner Group, and the box office on the first day is still better than Warner?!"

Jordan, who was standing beside him, said, "Look at what is in the newspaper?"

"The Matrix is ​​known as the best science fiction action film in Hollywood in recent years, and "The Spartan 300 Warriors" is known as the best historical epic in Hollywood in recent years. Undoubtedly, they are all very excellent movies!"

For a moment, Paramount Pictures was shocked and felt under great pressure.

Why?

Because in mid-April, less than 10, Paramount's movie "The Unveiled West Point" will be released soon.

"snort!"

At this time, Summer Redstone, chairman of Paramount Pictures' parent company Viacom Group, who was sitting on the sofa in the office, snorted coldly and looked stingy.

"Sherley Jordan, please arrange it to postpone the release date of "White Point Reveal"." Lei Shidong said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, Shirley Lansing and Jordan were both stunned.

Jordan looked at Lei Shidong with a shocked expression. After all, no one in the United States knew how dissatisfied Red Shidong was.

Delaying the release date means giving up a head-on battle with Warner and Wald Pictures;

It means it can't be beaten.

"Boss, the production cost of "West Point Reveal" movie is as high as $95 million, and the promotional expenses are currently spent millions of dollars. The release date is now delayed, which means that our millions of dollars in publicity expenses are all burned. What are you really decided?" Shirley Lansing looked at Lei Shidong with a serious expression.

So is Jordan.

"snort!"

Lei Shidong snorted coldly: "Although I don't want to admit it, our "White Point Reveal" is really not as good as "The Matrix" and "Spartan 300 Warriors". Now we don't want to stop the loss in time and become cannon fodder, can we rush forward and do it hard?"

“Yes, boss!”

Shirley Lansing and Jordan took a deep breath.

Paramount is capable and can interfere with the schedule of films on theaters and adjust the release date in a timely manner.

But!

Many Hollywood film companies are not so lucky.

“Adjust date?”

"What do we use to adjust the release date?"

"We are not Paramount, not Columbia. We are just a film company with less than a hundred people. The theater company will not compromise."

"What can I do?"

"When the gods fight, we are reduced to cannon fodder!"

"The April schedule was a off-season schedule in previous years, but this year it was so popular. But the audience's eyes were all on "The Matrix" and "The Spartan 300 Warriors". Our movies didn't have much attention at all, so that's a lot of money!"

One by one, everyone is so angry that they grit their teeth when they think of their own films released in April and their destiny to be reduced to cannon fodder.

There is nothing to do!

.........

On April 7, "Sparta" won the daily box office championship again;

On April 8, "The Matrix" relied on Warner's efforts to increase by 5 in the box office, but it still failed to beat "Sparta";

April 9th, Monday.

"Spartan 300 Warriors" had a cumulative box office of $61 million on the first weekend of Wednesday;

"The Matrix" once again earned $32 million in box office on Wednesday the following weekend, with a cumulative release of 10 years and a cumulative box office of up to $102 million.

However......

Two weeks later, the North American box office results of the two movies were less than $5 million.

The film "Spartan 300 Warriors" has a cumulative box office of US$143 million;

The film "The Matrix" has a cumulative box office of US$148 million;

"Oh, I can't suppress it~"

Time Warner Group Chairman Steve Ross sighed: "Please inform Barry Mayer and tell Barry Mayer to give up his attack on Wald Pictures."

“Yes, boss.”

Things have developed to this point, as long as you are not blind and confused, you can confirm that the trend of "Spartan 300 Warriors" has been achieved, and it is no longer something that the media can suppress. It is just useless to make a fuss when making a joke.

Giving up criticizing Wald Pictures and adjusting its publicity strategy is helpless!

After all, no one can get over money!

Not long.

Barry Meyer, vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures, received instructions from his superiors.

"never mind!"

"Wald Pictures Kingshuguang Entertainment Group, "Spartan 300 Warriors", could not have imagined that they would have grown to this point in just a few years? Spielberg's Dream Factory is just like this."

Barry Meyer, with a sigh on his face.

In April's North American schedule, "Sparta" and "The Matrix" were both R-rated films, and the production cost was quite similar. The box office data was almost the same. The popularity of the topic was also high. The two had a very high reputation. For a time, they were very popular and were in line with each other.

As for other movies released at the same time, haha~

You have become cannon fodder!

Sony Colombia, who was so stubborn, still held on to the Sixth National Congress, did not withdraw the schedule, and was brave enough to make it. As a result, they did not believe in evil, and the new film could only be hit by nothing.

Box office defeat!

"Our Best Lover's production cost is as high as $67 million, and the publicity fund is also as high as $50 million. However, in one week of release, the box office in North America was only $13 million? It's a big loss!!!"

Sony Columbia, heartache.

.........

April 20.

"Spartan 300 Warriors" was released in 12 European countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, etc.

This time, the number of countries released overseas is much more eye-catching than "My Grand Greek Wedding" a few months ago.

Wald Pictures’ overseas distribution channel has not been built, but who made the movies made by Wald Pictures so popular!

Capital is profit-seeking!

I was the grand Greek wedding in the past, I am the current Spartan 300 Warriors, and I will also be the first to be Harry Potter and Spider-Man. In this case, the film markets in overseas countries have been actively or passively opened to Wald Pictures.

To use the words of the UK's third largest theater chain, ggl theater chain: "No one will be unable to make money, not to mention that Wald Pictures has actively lowered its share of the film, and we have no reason to refuse."

In the next week, Warner's "The Matrix" Wald Film's "Spartan 300 Warriors" swept across Europe with high-quality quality. This wave of tornado appeared in Asia, Australia and other places, breaking the box office records of R-rated films in some countries.

For a moment, the limelight was in full swing!

Wald Pictures’ overseas distribution power has also been directly shown to many Hollywood film companies.
Chapter completed!
