Chapter 1064 Haotian Entertainment in North America in 2013 and 2014
The performance of "The Hobbit 1" is within the expectations of Haotian Entertainment North America. The word-of-mouth is not as good as the "Lord of the Rings" series. After all, the "Lord of the Rings" series is too amazing.

Even if Peter Jackson directs again, it is basically impossible to surpass this series, one of the best in film history, and everyone has long agreed on this point.

Fortunately, the film's box office performance is very good, especially in terms of global box office. According to the current box office trend, the global box office of "The Hobbit 1" is likely to exceed 10 billion US dollars.

This is undoubtedly good news for Haotian Entertainment North America, especially for the reborn MGM.

After years of twists and turns, MGM was finally reborn from the ashes. Last year's "007: Skyfall" had a global box office of 11 billion US dollars.

Now that the box office of "The Hobbit 1" has exceeded 10 billion, that is, after the restart, the box office of the two films has exceeded 2 billion. This performance is definitely amazing.

Although most of the reasons are due to the fact that "007" and "The Hobbit" are super IPs, it can also be said that MGM has a deep heritage.

There is no doubt that after Haotian Entertainment North America took over MGM, MGM has embarked on the right road to revival.

While "The Hobbit" swept the global box office, the 71st American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards announced this year's nomination list.

Unlike the infinite scenery of last year's "Gravity", Chen Hao's "Interstellar" this year only received one nomination for best visual effects.

Haotian Entertainment North America was completely annihilated, but Haotian Special Effects "Crazy Primitives" and "Despicable Me 2" were nominated for the best animated film at the same time.

In this regard, Chen Hao felt nothing. After all, last year's "Gravity" helped him win the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Director.

No matter how good his films are this year, it may be difficult for him to be reelected, so Chen Hao has long been mentally prepared.

……

"Benjamin, let's talk about the situation of Future 3D last year!" Chen Hao said.

At this time, in the conference room of Haotian Entertainment North America Company, five company executives, Chen Hao, Smart, Kevin Fitch, Benjamin and Thomas Knight, were having a meeting.

The topic of course is Haotian Entertainment North America's 2013 work summary and 2014 work plan.

Hearing this, Benjamin said, "In 3, the 2013D movie projection system developed by the company sold a total of 1640 sets of projection equipment, a year-on-year increase of 1.2%.

Among them, Mainland China has grown rapidly, with a growth rate of more than 41.86%, and a total of 1220 units have been sold. This is the only region that still maintains growth.

Including all other countries and regions, a total of 420 sets were sold, a decrease of 6.6% compared with last year. The 3D trend has begun to decline after three years.

Now each set of 3D projection equipment sells for $12, and our profit per set has dropped to $5.2.

That is to say, in 2013, the company's sales of 3D projection equipment were 19680 million US dollars, and after deducting costs and taxes, the net profit was 8100 million US dollars!
In addition, the IMAX giant screen developed by the company sold a total of 220 sets worldwide last year, each priced at US$18, and our profit was US$8.1.

In terms of IMAX giant screens, the company's sales in 2013 were 3960 million US dollars, and after deducting costs and taxes, the net profit was 1600 million US dollars.

To sum up, Future 3D’s sales in 2013 were US$23640 million, and after deducting expenses such as costs, taxes and wages, the net profit was US$9400 million! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Although the global 3D craze has subsided greatly, 3D projection equipment has gradually become the daily configuration of theaters.

Especially in the mainland where the theater chain is developing rapidly, all major newly-built theaters are basically equipped with 3D projection equipment, so it will still be the largest customer of 3D in the next few years.

"OK!" Chen Hao said, "Okay, next, Kevin, let's talk about Marvel Entertainment!"

Kevin Fitch heard the words, "The majority of Marvel Entertainment's revenue still comes from copyright revenue, and the biggest revenue this year comes from "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2".

According to the previous agreement, the box office proceeds of the two films belonged to Liang Tianchi Films, and the copyright income within 5 years also belonged to Liang Tianchi Films.

Affected by the global box office boom of "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2", the comics and product licensing revenue of other superheroes involved have increased to a certain extent.

In 2013, after deducting the income from "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2", Marvel's total revenue was 2600 million US dollars.

After deducting expenses such as taxes and wages, Marvel Entertainment's net profit in 2013 was 2040 million US dollars! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Although all the proceeds of "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2" belonged to Liang Tianchi Pictures, there are more than 5000 superheroes under Marvel.

Even though many superheroes are not popular, under the development of the Marvel superhero movie universe, other superhero copyrights have also increased.

Only relying on the copyright authorization of other unreleased movie heroes has earned more than 2600 million, which shows that Marvel is indeed a huge gold mine.

Kevin Feige continued, "In 2014, Marvel Entertainment was preparing to shoot "Avengers 2" and "Ant-Man" according to the established plan.

The budgets of the two films are respectively 2.5 million and 1.3 million US dollars, and the total is 3.8 million US dollars. In addition, the company needs to repay the loan of 2014 million US dollars in 8000, as well as various expenses such as wages. Marvel Entertainment’s 2014 expenditure should be 4.63 million. USD or so.

At the same time, in 2014, Marvel will release two films, "Captain America 2" and "Guardians of the Galaxy". If the box office performs well, the head office should not need to invest any more money next year. "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Marvel Entertainment will spend 4.63 million US dollars next year. After deducting the 2040 million US dollars earned this year, Tianchi Pictures will spend 2.65 million US dollars in proportion.

"Except for the 8000 million debt that needs to be repaid next year, how much does Marvel still owe?" Chen Hao asked.

“去掉8000万之后，还差8000万美元，2015年需还5000万，2016年还最后的3000万。”凯文费奇道。

Chen Hao nodded after hearing this, "Thomas, tell me!"

Thomas Knight said, "MGM's business last year, including hotels, resorts, cable TV and theaters, had a total revenue of $8.9 million, mainly from resorts and hotels.

But hotels and resorts only earn a 3.5% annual profit margin, so the net profit on those revenues is only $6000 million.

Then there is the income of MGM Pictures, because "The Hobbit 1" has just been released, so there is no profit yet, and all the profits come from last year's "007: Skyfall".

The North American box office of "007: Skyfall" was 3.04 million US dollars, creating the highest North American box office of the series, and the overseas box office was 8.04 million, still the highest in the series.

The global box office of the film is 11.08 billion US dollars, and it is the only "10" film with a box office of over 007 billion.

The investment cost of "007: Skyfall" was US$1.5 million, and the company received US$1.58 million in North American box office share and US$4.02 million in overseas box office share.

After deducting costs and taxes, as well as distribution costs of $5000 million, the film's net profit was $2.84 million.

To sum up, MGM Resorts had a total revenue of 19.98 billion last year. After deducting costs, wages and taxes, the net profit was 3.44 million US dollars.

In 2014, MGM Pictures will launch "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" and produce "007: Spectre" at the same time, with an investment cost of 2 million US dollars.

Coupled with the group's $2014 million debt repayment in 2.8, MGM's known expenses next year are expected to be $5.25 million. "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. MGM's debts are indeed like a mountain, which makes people feel a little flustered.

Fortunately, "007: Skyfall" and "The Hobbit" did well at the box office, otherwise it would really be Alexander.

Even so, Tianchi Films still has to fill this big hole.

Where there is gain, there is loss. Haotian Entertainment North America has stepped into the ranks of Hollywood giants in one fell swoop by virtue of MGM, so it must bear the pain of huge debts.

"Ahem, then let me talk about the situation of Liangtianchi Pictures and Haotian Entertainment (development of copyright peripherals)!" Smart said, "Liangtianchi Pictures invested in the production of 2013 films in 6." Film.

They are "The Conjuring", "Divergent", "Superbody", "The Maze Runner", "Annabelle" and "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay"!
