Chapter 329 Blockbuster goes public(2/2)
Because of the debt crisis in the second half of last year, even most listed financial companies on Wall Street have a recent price-to-earnings ratio of only more than ten times. Blackstone Group’s US$200 million offer for Blackstone Financial Management is equivalent to a price-to-earnings ratio of nearly 30 times. Cersei Capital
Of course it is impossible to accept it.
After finishing the Blockbuster matter, Janet stayed in New York to continue negotiating acquisitions with Blackstone Group and preparations for other departments of Cersei Capital, while Simon returned to Los Angeles with Amy and others over the weekend.
On the Daenerys Entertainment side, from January 12 to January 18, the box office of "Batman Begins" still dropped 31%, collecting another US$41.06 million. However, within four weeks of its release, the film's cumulative box office has also increased rapidly.
It surged to US$271.75 million.
At the same time, on January 19, Daenerys Entertainment's first new film of 1990 was officially released, called "I Want to Go Home."
This is a film that Ira Deutschman bought from the Venice Film Festival last year. At that time, a total of three films were selected, and this was the only one that was finally settled.
"I Want to Go Home" stars the famous French actor Gerard Depardieu, who has more than 10 César Award nominations and awards. It tells the story of an eccentric American cartoonist who took his wife to travel to Paris and all kinds of interesting things that happened.
Just like "A Fish Named Wanda", which poked fun at the cultural differences between Britain and the United States, "I Want to Go Home" pokes fun at the cultural differences between Britain and France.
However, since it has been placed in January, Gaomen Pictures obviously does not have high expectations for the film's box office. The number of opening screens is only 523, so it can be regarded as a work that fills up the release schedule.
Daenerys Entertainment’s recent announcement focus is on February’s “Pretty Woman.”
The film's confirmed release date is February 9, the week of Valentine's Day.
The management was not very optimistic about this project, which was adapted from a black drama about the love story of a call girl and a financier. However, the final effect of the film was very good. If it were not for Daenerys Entertainment, the whole
The movie release plan for the year has been determined, and even consideration will be given to changing the schedule to a more popular schedule.
Speaking of which, Daenerys Entertainment has confirmed 12 movie releases for the whole year of 1990. According to the release time, they are "I Want to Go Home", "Pretty Woman", "Crazy Fat Baby Variety Show",
"Children in the Cornfield 2", "The Love Between Ghosts", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Ghostbusters", "Family Journey", "Angels at My Table", "Dances with Wolves", "
Crossroads of Life" and "Home Alone."
In addition to the films released by the company itself, there are also four works in the 10-film plan last year, namely "Sleeping with the Enemy" in cooperation with Fox, "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" in cooperation with Disney, and "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" in cooperation with Universal Pictures
’s “Dangerous Days” and “Pink” in partnership with Columbia Pictures.
There are 16 films in total, which is similar to last year’s release scale.
When Simon returned to Los Angeles this time, his main job was to sort out these sixteen films in various stages of production and distribution, and to confirm some projects for 1991 in advance.
According to the plan, Pixar will launch its first 3D animated film "Toy Story" at the end of 1991, and the last part of the "Scream" series "Scream 3" is also scheduled for next year. In addition, there will be Madonna
Music documentaries and external cooperation films such as "The Fugitive" and "Terminator 2".
These are obviously not enough.
Fortunately, with the continuous expansion of Daenerys Entertainment, the company, like other Hollywood studios, has a number of projects in development that can be launched at any time. A large number of independent producers in Hollywood are also very much looking forward to working with Daenerys.
