Chapter 636 "The Lord of the Rings 1" Released
December 19.
The movie "Lord of the Rings 1" produced and released by Xinyi Films was officially released across the United States today. It received more than 3,300 cinemas on the day of its opening, and more than 7,000 screens on its opening, making it the largest movie ever released since December.
This is incomparable to the movie "Cross the World" produced by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Warner Bros. Pictures.
At this moment, Barry Mayer, as CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, was very angry: "This Shay is really ungrateful and doesn't care about the overall situation at all. I told him more than two months ago that the movie "Lord of the Rings 1" will be launched again in January. But he is better, let's leave us Warner and make our own distribution. I'm going to see what box office results can "Lord of the Rings 1" win?!"
The movie "Lord of the Rings 1" produced by Xinyi Film will be released on December 19;
The movie "Cross the World" produced by Warner Bros. Pictures will be released on December 7;
The release interval between the two is only 12 days. Even if it is not released at the same time, it will still divert some audiences.
How is this willing to endure Warner Bros. Pictures?
Don’t forget that Warner Bros. Pictures is the major shareholder of Xinyi Film and the largest shareholder in the number of shares. Compared with the founder of Xinyi Film and the chairman Xie Yi, the founder of Xinyi Film and Television, has a higher shareholding.
In Barry Meyer's view, "New Line Film is just a subsidiary of Warner, so it is not allowed to leave control."
But...Shea was thinking about leaving Warner.
Now that the two movies are in the ring, many people outside the world are laughing.
.........
New Line Film.
"Bad!"
"What is Barry Mayer?!"
"He is just a CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures. To put it bluntly, he is a working person. If Steve Rose (Chairman of Time Warner) comes forward personally, I will keep it for face. As for him, Barry Mayer, he can't care about me!"
Shay's temper is also very hot.
Although he always looked humble when he and Zhuke were together, he was definitely a madman in his bones and did not look at people directly.
“Boss, you are right!”
Vice President John Nathan echoed: "Warner sometimes doesn't care about fairness and justice at all. It's obviously our new Line Film film "Lord of the Rings 1" that was scheduled to be released on December 19, but how did Warner do it?"
"Warner's movie market has recovered, and "Seeing the World" will be released on December 7."
"Immediately, as a major shareholder, I forcibly asked us to withdraw the file "Lord of the Rings 1" and give way to "Discovering the World". I want to ask...why?!"
Warner Bros. Pictures has an objection, but Xinyi Pictures is even more complaining.
What about subsidiaries without human rights?
Do you have to follow Warner's mercy?
This time, the boss of Xinyi Film Industry, Xie Yi didn’t, so he chose to be a tough guy!
......
The Hollywood colleagues watched the fun and expressed a lot of opinions.
Spielberg of DreamWorks: "What do you think? Haha, in my opinion, it's just a devil and a demon fighting, and they're not good people!"
Gusta, owner of Lionsgate Pictures: "To put it bluntly, the dispute between Xinyi and Warner is that the parent company and its subsidiary are in conflict. Just like the relationship between a stepmother and a stepson, there are good things. Warner must be thinking about his own son at the first time. How could he think of Xinyi Pictures as a stepson?"
To the point of being sharp!
For Warner, the movie "Cross the World" produced by his own film is definitely a personal son and must be given priority;
New Line Film's movie "Lord of the Rings 1" is naturally a stepson for Warner. For the sake of his own son, he must sacrifice this stepson.
For this reason, Barry Mayer and Shea also started a verbal battle during the film promotion.
Also on this day, Zucker turned back to Los Angeles.
"Kevin, I heard that Warner and New Line Film have had a big fight recently?"
After getting off the plane, Zucker asked.
Kevin Feige said in surprise: "Boss, do you know too?"
"certainly!"
Zhuke nodded: "I am optimistic about the box office results of "Lord of the Rings", so I have always paid attention to it. And don't forget that I am the major shareholder of Vita Digital Studio. Once the box office of the movie explodes, Vita Digital will definitely make a fortune every day."
Kevin Feige raised his eyebrows slightly.
He himself is optimistic about the box office prospects of "Lord of the Rings", but he is even more optimistic about the box office potential of "Seeing the World".
Today is December 19, and the movie "Cross the World" produced by Warner has been released for 12 days.
After the release of the movie "Cross the World" the box office exceeded 38 million US dollars in the first three days. This result was only a normal result in the Christmas period in previous years. However, in the Christmas period after the 9/11 incident, the box office performance of "Cross the World" is considered extremely excellent.
So far, the film has achieved a total of US$10,300 in North America;
This data alone is enough to rank among the top 20 in the North American annual box office rankings in 2001.
Various analysis companies have pointed out: "The North American box office results of "Cross the World" are expected to exceed US$200 million by the end of December, and the total box office in North America is expected to reach US$280 million to US$300 million."
The reputation is even more good.
"Time" Entertainment Edition published an article saying: "The top cast production and the cast also have Oscar-level standards. The total number of nominations that the actors have won together reaches 15."
With the influence of "Time", the box office of "Seeing the World" has been rising steadily.
"Well?"
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "I heard what you mean, that is to say, the outside world now thinks "Lord of the Rings" is not the opponent of "Discovering the World".
Kevin Fitch nodded.
He said: "Boss, I've attended the premiere of The Lord of the Rings. I don't deny that The Lord of the Rings is a pretty good movie, even the best magical epic movie in Hollywood in the 21st century, but it was released by New Line Film itself."
"In contrast, "Cross the World" has achieved good box office results, which can be said to have taken the lead..."
"In this case, I don't think New Line Film has a win."
The words fell.
Zucker nodded frequently.
Kevin Feige's words make sense and also agree with most people's opinions.
After all, Xinyi Film, the publisher of "Lord of the Rings", is much worse than Warner, the publisher of "The Legend of the World".
But...this is "Lord of the Rings"!
In the future, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is definitely a famous existence in film history!
In contrast, what is "Concealing the World" worth?
Zhuke narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Kevin, I think you're going to miscalculate this time."
Kevin Feige: "..."
Chapter completed!
