In short, it's a game.

Daenerys Entertainment is now like Disney in the strongest period in my memory.

For example, the live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast", the heroine Emma Watson's basic salary is only $3 million. As "Beauty and the Beast" global box office exceeded $1 billion, "Hermione" only received an additional $12 million, with a total salary of 15 million, which is still less than one-tenth of the profit Dibao made from the "Beauty and the Beast" project.

This is the profit distribution state that Simon tends to do.

With the clear box office trend of "Rush Hour", Chris Tucker has directly proposed the requirement to modify the contract. Of course, Daenerys Entertainment will not let go. However, based on the contract pay, Simon personally made an additional 10% of the global box office gross profit share for the two main creators, that is, the share part of the sequel's global box office attributable to Daenerys Entertainment, which is the production and promotion costs stipulated in the contract.

The first "Rush Hour" is an example.

The total cost of the project's production and promotion is US$50 million. Judging from the current situation, the global box office should be expected to hit US$300 million. It is expected that the share of about US$130 million can be recovered from local and overseas. After deducting the total cost of US$50 million in production and promotion, the remaining 80 million US dollars can be divided by the main creators.

Based on a 10% share, the two of them can each take 8 million US dollars.

Of course, there is no such thing as the first part, so it can only be calculated from the second part.

Moreover, if the cost of sequel production increases, but the global box office shrinks, resulting in a decrease in gross profit or even loss, then I'm sorry, there is no share of the sequel. If the box office of sequel is better, just like the former "Peak Hour 2", you will naturally get more. In any case, it is impossible for both creators to receive a top $20 million in basic salary like in the original time and space. Jack Cheng will have to draw an additional share.

Daenerys Entertainment didn't have such a good thing this time.

If the two protagonists stop, it is also simple. According to the limited terms in the contract, before the trilogy contract is completed, the two main creators will need to obtain the approval of Daenerys Entertainment for any other film. In other words, if Daenerys Entertainment does not agree and the two startups refuse to start filming sequels, then they will be unemployed.

Even if Jack returns to Asia, if he violates the contract, he will not be able to escape the legal pursuit of Daenerys Entertainment.

This is Daenerys Entertainment's current strong state in Hollywood.

Because you have never lacked popular development projects, no matter which star you are, you should not try to control in front of Simon.

In addition to "Rush Hour", "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which was left second in the weekly box office list, still had a very good box office.

Taking advantage of the second publicity offensive launched by the Olympic Award nomination, coupled with the gains of the Valentine's Day schedule, from February 9 to February 15, the 8th week of release, the single-week decline of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was still only 13%, and it closed at another $24.39 million, and the cumulative local box office of the film reached $556.61 million.
