Friday, October 29.

Wald Pictures' long-planned new work "The God of Death" will be officially released in major theaters in North America from now on.

Once released, it swallowed up a lot of screenings from dozens of film companies, accounting for the screenings of major theaters in North America that day, exceeding 25%.

The people in charge of many small and medium-sized film companies were so angry that they stamped their feet, but they were helpless.

"Damn Juke Wald, there's such a high scheduling~"

Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate Films, gritted his teeth alone in the office.

"Hmph~"

"These theaters are not good at all, and they are all the ones who are complimenting high and low. Isn't it just that the establishment of Lions Gate Pictures has not been long and the scale is smaller. Well, in the future, Lions Gate Pictures will inevitably grow and grow to the point where major theaters dare not ignore it."

I have to say that Gusta is indeed quite ambitious.

In the original trajectory of time and space, Gusta's Lionsgate Films has indeed grown rapidly, and has successively acquired some assets of Dingfeng Entertainment, MGM Pictures, etc., becoming the top ten film companies in North America. After ten years of planning, it has established an overseas distribution channel second only to the six major distribution forces.

You know, this is something that DreamWorks has not accomplished!

Moreover, in addition to the lack of media power, Lionsgate Pictures founded by Gusta is quite strong in the production field, almost no less than the six majors.

However...

Now he is still weak and can only break his teeth and swallow blood.

Depressed ~

Of course, the theater chains in North America are not easy to meet!

"It's not something that Gusta can take revenge in the future if he says revenge!"

In the late 1990s, although the North American theater market was full of mountains and independent theaters, the theater chain was somewhat weaker than production companies, but with the emergence of the three theater giants, Amc, Diwang Entertainment, Ximanke, the trend of big fish eating small fish is already unstoppable.

The three major theater giants have completely integrated the North American theater market in just a few years, occupying 92% of the theaters in North America. Since then, they have ended the disputes between various forces that are like the "Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period" and entered the situation of the three strong forces.

The theater company has begun to become extremely strong!

By then, the three theater giants will have great confidence in facing many Hollywood studios.

The Sixth National Congress dare not hide its sharpness!

Even the three major theaters, amc, emperor entertainment and Ximanke, have won more profits from the production company and increased the profits of theaters.

The theater chain is not easy to mess with now, and it will be even more powerful in the future~

......

"The God of Death is Coming" is released!

Warner Bros. Pictures' new work "Hazed House" was also released at the same time today, accounting for more than 24% of the screening volume.

"Everyone, we need to clarify a fact!"

Barry Mayer, the new president of Warner Bros. Pictures, faced a group of executives, said loudly: "No matter how we fight with Wald Pictures or fight, that's the next thing. Our first thing is to join forces with Wald Pictures first, suppress a number of small and medium-sized film companies, and divide the entire Halloween schedule!"

United Wald, divide the period?

Hearing this, everyone was happy.

An executive laughed and said, "Although I am a little unhappy and unwilling to join forces with Wald Pictures, I am a little unhappy and unwilling to fight against the snipe and clam, but it is definitely a delusion to have small companies want to seize the market."

Benefit!

Everything is for the benefit!

As one of the top six Warner Bros. Pictures, with the world's largest media Times Warner Group, is certainly not afraid of Wald Pictures, but it is unwise to fight Wald in an endless battle with Wald at the moment~

What can Warner Bros. Pictures get if you defeat Wald Pictures?

It's just a false reputation!

Large companies like Warner always prioritize interests. Even if they defeat Wald Pictures, their efforts will be quite huge. Instead, they will benefit a group of small and medium-sized film companies. This is not in Warner's interests.

"Well, there is something called tacit understanding!"

......

at the same time.

Wald Pictures.

"At this critical moment, of course, we cannot criticize Warner and Warner's new work "Hazed House"!"

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "I'm not stupid, so I will naturally kick out some movies first, get more screening volume, and get the most profit. As for the conflict with Warner... In a few days, even if we don't take action, Warner will take action."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and said yes.

Old Bill smiled: "In Hollywood, the boundaries between friends and enemies are blurred, or they can be said to be non-existent."

All conflicts and conflicts will always be a struggle for interests!

.........

With the tacit action of Wald Pictures and Warner, well, it is the plan of "first join forces to eliminate a number of small and medium-sized film companies, and then fight."

As soon as the tacit understanding action was launched, the power of the two major media groups was unfolding. The overwhelming publicity power was not something that a number of small and medium-sized film companies could withstand. It could be called the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves!

The box office of the videos released in the previous few days has plummeted!

The heads of major companies complained!

"Damn Wald Pictures, the trash Warner Bros. Pictures~"

Xinyi Film boss Xie Yi cursed: "Their two shameless companies have already occupied more than 50% of the screening volume, but they are not satisfied and are pointing the finger at us poor people?!"

He had a premonition... After tomorrow, the screening volume of new works by Wald and Warner may exceed 60%, 70%, or even more!

really!

When the next day came, the volume of screenings of two film companies, Warner and Wald Pictures, increased significantly.

The screening volume of "The God of Death" reached 31%;

The volume of screenings of "The Haunted House" has increased dramatically, surpassing Wald Pictures in one fell swoop, reaching 33.7%.

Even Zhu Ke was shocked.

"Wow~"

Looking at the report, Zhuke had to sigh: "The six majors are just six majors, and this method is indeed not comparable to us now. Look at it. In the North American market on the 29th, our movie "The God of Death" was obviously more than 3 million US dollars higher than Warner's "Hazy House", which was the first box office of the box office yesterday. However, our screening volume is still not as good as Warner!"

Logically speaking, "The God of Death is Coming" was the first box office yesterday, and the screening improvement should be the biggest;

However, reality is that Warner's "Hazed House" movie is the biggest beneficiary.

"Boss, relax."

Old Bill smiled and said, "If Warner didn't have any of these methods, then it would be considered one of the six majors!"

Zucker nodded.

Wald Pictures is currently able to compete with Warner for a while, but it can only be a short-term battle. For a long-term battle, Wald Pictures will undoubtedly lose.

Talent reserves, funds, heritage, historical factors, and the political power behind them...

The lack of these factors is a fact that Wald is less than the six major ones.

Old Bill smiled again: "Boss, even if Warner is the biggest beneficiary of this time, we are not bad, and we can even surpass it later. However, the other small and medium-sized film companies are miserable~"

Small and medium-sized film companies, are they miserable?

miserable!

Very miserable!

Many film company bosses were so angry that they cursed~

"Shameless!"

"The eating habits of the two film companies are really ugly!"

"Yes, they joined forces to divide the market and divide the period, which is completely not a way out!"

"Look, take a look. In just one day, the revenue of our major film companies has either dropped by 30% or reduced by half. Some film companies' movies have been directly withdrawn by theaters. Damn~"

Wald Pictures and Warner Company are joining forces to divide the market and suppress a number of film companies. Is it despicable?

yes!

It's very despicable!

But, this is reality!

This is true between countries and between people!

Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate Pictures, is undoubtedly a very wise person. While a number of film companies are struggling, he did not give up resistance and surrender, but chose to increase his investment in funds.

"Hand up with this wave of offensive~"

"Don't think that Warner and Wald are now in a tacit understanding and are in a joint market segmentation. However, there are many distractions between them. Look, I'm sure that in a few days, the two companies will start fighting, and then we won't have to worry about not having a chance to rise again."
Chapter completed!
