Chapter 244 Batman, are you interested?

Fans' enthusiasm for "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has not dissipated. Last weekend, it sat firmly at No.80 on the North American box office rankings with a score of 1 million US dollars, successfully achieving the three consecutive championships on the list.

从2003年12月17日上映至今，《魔戒3》的北美票房累积收入已经高达两亿9000两百万美元，三亿美元的票房大关近在咫尺。

Relying on its high reputation and New Year's Day holiday, "District 2254" retained its runner-up position with a three-day weekend box office of US$3 million.

The total box office of the film in the 7 days of the next week was 3079 million U.S. dollars, and the cumulative box office has successfully broken through 6000 million U.S. dollars, reaching 6061 million U.S. dollars.

Without the impact of heavyweight new films, "A Basket of Children", "Love is a Compromise" and "Cold Mountain" also maintained their rankings last week.

At the same time, after 10 weeks of release, "Chain Saw 2" was officially released last week.

The final North American box office of "Chain Saw 2" was fixed at US$8703 million, which was about US$2200 million higher than the first box office of "Chain Saw".

It's just that the media and film critics didn't think very highly of the film, but fans liked it more, so the third part of the film will definitely meet with global audiences on time on Halloween in 2004.

According to the previous distribution agreement, Liangtianchi will receive 55% of the box office share, and after deducting taxes, it can get 4100 million US dollars, which is 33907 million yuan.

In addition, "Chain Saw 2" is about to be released in places outside North America, and has accumulated a box office of 6000 million U.S. dollars. The global box office of "Chain Saw 2" is about 1.47 million U.S. dollars!

The share of the overseas box office is generally 35%, and after deducting the tax, Li Tianchi can get about 1780 million U.S. dollars, or 14761 million yuan!

The box office share of "Saw 2" brought Chen Hao nearly 5 small goals!

Now that the time has come to 2004, Sony Columbia has also given the proceeds of "Chain Saw 1" and "Taken" DVD rentals, paid channel license fees, ordinary channel license fees, fixed-location broadcasts, etc. to Liang Tianchi Films Industry.

These peripheral incomes of the two films directly stunned Chen Hao. "Saw 1" was released earlier, almost for the whole year of 2003, and all the peripheral incomes were only allocated to the amount of 1250 million US dollars.

It must be known that the producer's share generally only accounts for about 30% of the total peripheral revenue. It can be seen that Sony Columbia is definitely making a lot of money, and the Hollywood giants are indeed not talking about it.

In addition to the box office income, movies also have additional peripheral income, and can last for decades, although Chen Hao has long known the distribution profitability of Hollywood giants.

But after seeing the 1250 million US dollars in hand, the feelings in my heart are still very complicated.

Another movie "Taken" has been released for about half a year, and it has also brought about 800 million US dollars in revenue for Tianchi.

The peripheral income of the two movies in the first year is about 2050 million US dollars!
Now Chen Hao felt more and more that it was really right to come to North America.

……

Both Chen Hao and Davis were very satisfied with the box office of "The Ninth District" in the second week. According to the characteristics of long-term sales in the holiday season, both of them felt that the final box office of the film should be able to exceed the 1.21 million of "Taken".

At this time, Chen Hao was already preparing to leave the United States, but he had to postpone it because many Hollywood giants approached him.

Chen Hao thought about it and did not refuse. Because of Davis, Chen Hao and Sony Columbia are indeed closer, but there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

In order to protect his own interests, Chen Hao must let himself have multiple choices, and he cannot put all his eggs in one basket.

"Chen, congratulations on your movie box office hit!" Greg Silverman of Warner Bros. said with a smile.

"Thank you, it's far worse than "Lord of the Rings 3"!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Wow, that's true, after all, it's "Lord of the Rings 3"!" Greg Silverman nodded, "That kind of movie is hard to come by."

"Yeah, being able to shoot the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is enough for Peter Jackson to be famous in film history!" Chen Hao sighed.

"Actually, Chen, you also have such an opportunity." Greg Silverman said mysteriously.

Chen Hao frowned when he heard this, "Oh? How do you say that?"

"I heard, Chen, you like Marvel superheroes?" Greg Silverman asked.

Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "That's right!"

"Chen, you know that Marvel is not the only superhero in America." Greg Silverman said.

Chen Hao's heart moved when he heard the words, but he didn't speak, but continued to wait for Greg Silverman's next words.

"I believe you should have heard of DC!" Greg Silverman said, "And our Warner Bros. has two of DC's most famous superheroes, Batman and Superman!"

After hearing this, Chen Hao's premonition became stronger, but he still said patiently, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

"That's right, we at Warner Bros. are preparing to restart the Batman series recently. I wonder if you are interested in directing?" Greg Silverman asked.

Fuck, it really is Batman!
In the previous life, most of the Batman in everyone's memory should be the "Batman" series trilogy directed by Nolan.

It's a franchise unlike any other, or any other superhero movie, and it's arguably the greatest, perhaps the greatest, superhero movie franchise.

Nolan became a world-renowned director with this series, and many fans even made it a myth!

However, "Batman", as one of the most famous superheroes in the United States, has long been put on the screen.

But compared to Nolan's Super God trilogy, you are watching the previous 4 movies in the "Batman" series, and you will definitely say who am I?where am iWhat am I going to do?Three questions in life!
Really, the previous 4 "Batman" films are nothing compared to Nolan's trilogy. After watching Nolan's trilogy and watching the previous "Batman", it is really equivalent to being fed shit!
The most recent one is "Batman 1997: Batman and Robin" in 4. This movie was named No.50 of the 1 worst movies of the era, and it is known as the worst movie ever put on the screen. One, and the film's championship is well-received!
For this reason, after the release of "Batman 4", Warner directly blocked this superhero for 6 years!

However, it may be that in the past two years, seeing "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" have exploded at the box office, Warner Bros. can't help it.

Although there is no Marvel, they have DC, and as the two most famous DC superheroes in the United States, Batman and Superman are undoubtedly the best choices!
