Chapter 304 Because of the shares, some people are happy and others are sad
August 15.
The animated film "Finding Nemo" has been released in North America for a full 10 days.
As of yesterday, the film has achieved a box office of US$128 million in North America, and its daily box office is still very impressive, winning 10 consecutive days of box office championships.
A true hit video.
It put all the movies released at the same time under my breath.
The film markets of overseas countries, "Find Nemo", were launched in Central and South American countries such as Mexico, Chile, Brazil, etc.;
Film markets in Europe, Asia, Australia and other countries and regions are also in full swing to negotiate with Wald Pictures, which is a publisher, and it is not expected that too much time will be wasted. After all, "Find Nemo" is too popular.
Several box office data analysis companies in the United States have made a series of analysis and reports on the final box office of Finding Nemo.
$300 million!
"The box office in North America alone, the final box office of Finding Nemo will definitely not be less than $300 million."
This is a professional evaluation made by many analyst companies based on market supply and demand, film reputation and other aspects.
Cod Howell, a well-known Hollywood film analyst.
In the new issue of Hollywood Weekly, he posted: "Find Nemo is an extremely rare fine movie among animated films. It will surely achieve a North American box office of more than $300 million. In the 1999 North American annual box office rankings, it will definitely make the top three."
The annual box office must be among the top three?
I have to say that this is a very high praise.
But...the major Hollywood film companies expressed dissatisfaction.
"Why can the movie "Finding Nemo" be firmly ranked among the top three in the box office?"
"It's only August now, and there are still a few months left before the end of the year. Whoever wins and who loses, can you make sure?"
“When we film company, does it not exist?”
"Besides, the six major Hollywood companies are not vegetarians."
Yijiang Entertainment, DreamWorks Film, New Line Film, Miramax Film...
The bosses and executives of a group of top Hollywood film companies were a little angry. All kinds of emotions such as jealousy, reluctance, and resentment filled their hearts.
But.
In an article written by Cod Howell, he wrote in Hollywood Weekly, after taking a few examples of the release of movies from various film companies in the next few months, they were all silent.
Not convinced...No.
It is definitely a great thing that Cod Howell can make such a big name in Hollywood.
"This year's annual box office champion is definitely "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat"!"
"Since its release in May, the film has achieved a box office of US$392 million in North America. The final box office in North America has steadily entered US$400 million; so far, the global box office data of the film has exceeded US$800 million, and finally reached US$900 million, which is inevitable!"
Who is the match for the global box office of $900 million?
In the year without Tantenic, Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat is a giant.
Even though the movie "Finding Nemo" has not been released in various overseas countries and regions, its overseas box office is foreseeable and anticipated according to the popularity of animated films.
In an article written by Hollywood Weekly, Cod Howell also pointed out: "As for the next few months, the major, medium and small film companies in Hollywood have produced almost few movies, which can match the existence of "Star Wars Prequel 1" and "Find Nemo".
Columbia Films' "Elf Mouse"?
"It's not as good as Finding Nemo, and the box office in North America will only cost $200 million if it's overwhelmed;"
Warner Bros. Pictures’ "Green Miracle"?
“no~no~no~”
"I don't deny Tom Hanks, who plays the leading role in the Green Miracle movie, is an excellent actor, but the box office has nothing to do with acting."
"The Green Ridge Miracle will achieve a good box office result, but in North America, its box office will definitely not exceed $300 million."
In the following article, Cod Howell made professional estimates for other Hollywood film companies and their upcoming films.
DreamWorks Pictures’ American Beauty;
MGM Pictures’ "007: The Black Sun Crisis";
Paramount Pictures’ Double Crisis;
Miramax’s “Genius Ripley”;
Universal Pictures’s “The End of Time”;
.........
Although these movies have not been released in North America yet, many people are convinced by Cod Howell's considerations based on production costs, market analysis, supply and demand relationships, film types, and film ratings.
Miramax Pictures.
"Serious, amazing!"
President Harvey Weinstein put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed: "First it was "My Grand Greek Wedding", then "Spartan 300 Warriors", and now it is "Finding Nemo", tsk tsk! This year's Wald Pictures has become so strong~!"
.........
Paramount Pictures.
"Promise him and agree to their participation!"
As the boss, Summer Redstone, staring at Shirley Lansing and Jordan in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't Juke Wald want to work with us to develop the Tomb Raider series of movies? I can nod my head, but... Jordan, you tell Juke that he must be the producer of Tomb Raider himself."
"Yes, boss." Jordan responded.
“Boss, this…”
President Shirley Lansing wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Lei Shidong.
"Sherley, I know what you want to say, but we Paramount shouldn't be silent again. For our cooperation with Zhuke, we are still the big head of Deli." Lei Shidong shouted.
“Yes, boss.”
Shirley Lansing was a little unwilling to accept it.
Inviting Zhuke to be the first producer of Tomb Raider, where does she, Shirley Lansing, as the president of Paramount Pictures, put her face?
But the situation is better than others!
In recent years, all movies with Zucker as producer have achieved very significant box office!
.........
At the same time.
Based on the news that Water World Animation shares and is about to go public, the entire Jinshuguang Group is full of joy and some people are worried.
Hundreds of Water World Animation’s employees, including Stephen Sorenberg and David Messel, will share a 12% stake.
The other 3% stake will be given to executives of Jin Shuguang Group outside Water World Animation Company as an option reward.
So who can share it?
Group ceo Victor;
Ms. Donna, senior vice president of the group;
Ms. Martha, head of the group finance department;
And several other executives. Yes, only a few people can share this 3% option reward.
Walder Pictures President Bill Old: "I don't care. I'll work for another one, two years, and I'll retire. It's useless to ask for options."
Kevin Feige, Vice President of Wald Pictures: "Water World Animation is right for Wald Pictures, but it is now an independent subsidiary. I want option rewards and I will only want Wald Pictures, not to mention that I am still young now, so I am not in a hurry."
Domino of Jin Shuguang Records: "Haha, I'm not in a hurry. I own singers such as Eminence, Beyoncé, Britney, Lincoln Park, etc. Are you still afraid of no option rewards in the future?"
The people in charge of the uterus such as the Manchester City Club, Under Armour Sports Products Company are naturally envious. But the listing of Water World Animation has little to do with them, so options naturally have no share.
But... there was one person who tasted good.
It can even be said that he had some complaints about Zhuke.
President of SpongeBob House - Taro Hashimoto!
"This time I don't have my options!"
"I'm not willing~"
He felt a little savory and unbalanced. He believed that just discovering the Bazert doll himself and contributing to the company would be enough to get the option reward for Water World Animation, but... it didn't.
