Chapter 852 "Inception" Global Box Office

"Even if you take over MGM, how are you going to revive this sleeping lion?" Smart frowned.

It would be great to become the most powerful man in Hollywood, but it would be bad if the ruler was dragged into the whirlpool by MGM. After all, few people in the entire United States and Hollywood were willing to take over this huge bad asset.

"Of course it is to create the two series of "The Hobbit" and "007." Chen Hao said, "MGM has the best chance of winning with these two trump cards."

Smart nodded when he heard the words. MGM owns many classic film copyrights, such as "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider", "RoboCop", "Terminator", "Rocky" and so on.

But the series with the highest development value are undoubtedly the "Hobbit" and "007" series.

However, MGM actually only owns half of the copyright of "The Hobbit", and the other half is in the hands of Warner Bros.

In the previous life, MGM successfully got rid of the debt crisis with the "Hobbit" trilogy and "10: Skyfall" with an average global box office of more than 007 billion.

It was later acquired by Amazon for US$84.5 billion, and MGM, who had been "sold out" for a long time, finally found its own taker.

The "Hobbit" trilogy and "007" are sure to be A-level big productions, requiring a lot of money, but box office expectations should be good.

Especially the "Hobbit" trilogy, with the solid foundation laid by the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, as long as the "Hobbit" trilogy is not too bad, it should be able to sell well at the box office.

Undoubtedly, Smart was moved. After all, the prospect Chen Hao described was too attractive, and it would not hurt Liang Tianru Pictures.

Either way, this is a worthwhile investment.

Chen Hao smiled when he saw this, "You can keep an eye on this matter, but you need to find a professional team to operate it, and I will also find someone from China to help."

Smart finally nodded in agreement.

After discussing with Smart about the acquisition of MGM, Chen Hao informed Hu Jin to let him fly over from China, and then look for an American company to form a professional acquisition team to start the operation.

After all, Chen Hao and Smart are not particularly professional personnel, so it is better to leave it to professional people to do the acquisition negotiation.

Chen Hao then left Liangtianchi Films and returned to the crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2".

After Chen Hao came back, he looked at the part shot by Wen Muye and Guo Fan, and found that there was no big problem, so he kept it.

Then Chen Hao resumed his daily filming life.

Soon another week passed, and after a day of filming, Chen Hao took a shower and was watching the filming content, and then the doorbell rang as usual.

Chen Hao went to open the door to see Sister Shi, and said with a smile, "Is this beauty okay? Is it a long night..."

Without waiting for Chen Hao to finish speaking, Sister Shi squeezed Chen Hao away and walked into the room.

Seeing this, Chen Hao smiled, then closed the door and sat down directly beside Sister Shi, leaned over to kiss, but was blocked by Sister Shi's jade finger, "I have something to tell you."

Chen Hao directly pushed away Sister Shi's jade finger, and kissed her red lips somewhat rudely.

Three minutes later, the panting Shi Jie pushed Chen Hao away from her body, "No, let's talk about things first."

"Then continue after finishing talking!" Chen Hao laughed.

Sister Shi gave Chen Hao a blank look when she heard the words, then picked up the document on the table and said, "Last week, "Inception" was screened in North America, and now except for the mainland, the screenings of the whole world have also ended one after another. .”

Chen Hao played with Sister Shi's sky-defying long legs, and said, "Well, let's talk about it in detail."

《盗梦空间》7月1日在亚洲同步上映，7月2日在欧美同步首映, 9月19日下画, 除了内地还在上映之外, 一共整整上映了81天。

Of course, not all countries and regions have been screened for 81 days. In North America, because of the long-term tradition of being a blockbuster, all the screens have been shown for a long time. In fact, some countries and regions have ended their screenings at the end of August.

As for the mainland, there should be a period of time before the painting will be completed until the ultimate goal is completed.

Anyway, Chen Hao has his own Sihaihaotian theater chain in his hand, so he doesn't worry about being directly taken down.

It's really cool to master the cinema!

Sister Shi looked down at the document and said, "The final box office of "Inception" in North America was 2.925 million US dollars. It's a pity that it failed to break the 3 million US dollars, but it raised the original North American foreign language film box office record by a full 1.7 million US dollars.

This box office result is temporarily ranked fifth in North America's 2010 annual box office list.

仅次于4.15亿的《玩具总动员3》、3.34亿的《爱丽丝梦游仙境》、3.12亿的《钢铁侠2》和3.01亿的《暮光之城3：月食》。”

Chen Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. Among the top five films in North America, two were produced by Liangtianchi Films, and one was produced by Haotian Films. Chen Hao accounted for three out of five.

It seems that Liangtianchi Films should be able to continue to be the leading independent film company this year and achieve three consecutive championships!
""Inception" won a box office of 7530191 US dollars in Xiangjiang, which is about 5837 million Hong Kong dollars and 5135 million yuan.

Temporarily ranked No. 2010 in Xiangjiang's 2 box office list, second only to "Toy Story 8917" with 3 million!
This result has refreshed your personal highest Xiangjiang box office record of 4911 million held by "Pacific Rim".

At the same time, the box office of "Inception" also ranked in the top ten box office rankings of Xiangjiang Film History, ranking 8th! "

Chen Hao laughed and said, "Then I should be the highest-grossing Chinese director in Xiangjiang?"

Sister Shi shook her head after hearing this, and said with a smile, "The highest one is Master Xing. The 6127 million in "Kung Fu" and the 6073 million in "Shaolin Soccer" are both higher than you."

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, but forgot about Master Xing.

"In the Taiwan area, "Inception" has received a total box office of 5370400 US dollars, temporarily ranking first in Taiwan's 2010 annual box office list!

This box office result is lower than that of "2012", ranking second among your personal box office results of Taiwan movies.

The box office of 5370400 US dollars is equivalent to 1.485 million Taiwan dollars, which is 3454 million yuan! "Sister Shi said.

"Then South Korea. The number of viewers of "Inception" in South Korea reached 587 million, which surpassed the 242 million viewers of "Edge of Tomorrow", breaking your personal highest box office record in South Korea. .

At the same time, the 587 million viewers of "Inception" also surpassed the 271 million of "Under the Red Cliff", becoming the box office champion of Chinese-language movies released in South Korea. "Sister Shi said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. He finally killed Wu Baige and was crowned the box office champion of Chinese-language movies in South Korea.

"With 587 million movie viewers, it temporarily ranks third in South Korea's 2010 annual box office list, second only to "Avatar" and "Uncle."

The corresponding box office is 433.95 billion South Yuan, or about 3893 million U.S. dollars, or 2.655 million yuan! "Sister Shi said.

"How many people watched "Avatar" in South Korea?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"1335 million, twice that of "Inception"." Sister Shi replied.

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, the gap is unusually large, but this time he set a new record for the highest box office of a Chinese film in South Korea, surpassing Wu Baige, which is gratifying.

"There is also the island country. In the island country, "Inception" won a total of 35 billion island dollars in the box office, temporarily ranking 2010th in the island country's 10 box office list.

This box office result surpassed last year's "Edge of Tomorrow"'s 23.5 billion island dollars, setting a new record for your box office in the island country.

At the same time, the 35 billion island dollars of "Inception" ranked fourth in the box office list of Chinese-language movies released in the island, higher than the 4 billion of Cheng Long's "Project A" in 1983, and lower than Li Lianjie's 31 The 1982 billion island dollars of "Shaolin Temple". "Sister Shi said.

Chen Hao shook his head slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect that "Inception" was not as high as "Shaolin Temple" 28 years ago. As for the first and second on the list, there must be two "Red Cliffs".

The two "Red Cliffs" together earned a total box office of 105 billion island dollars, which is about 9500 million U.S. dollars, almost breaking [-] million. It is indeed a bit scary!

It seems that it is still quite difficult to overthrow Wu Baige's two "Red Cliffs".

"35 billion island dollars, or about 4210 million U.S. dollars, or 28712 million yuan!" Sister Shi said.

"Finally, Southeast Asian countries and regions, where "Inception" earned a total of US$1661 million at the box office, slightly lower than "Edge of Tomorrow" at US$1780 million.

1661 million US dollars, or about 11328 million yuan! "Sister Shi said.

"How is the performance of "Inception" in Europe, South America and Oceania?" Chen Hao asked.

""Inception" has a very high box office in Europe, and the United Kingdom is the highest box office with 5713 million US dollars, which is the highest box office country except North America and the mainland.

此外法国4343万、德国3693万、西班牙2212万、意大利1551万、俄罗斯2190万、澳大利亚3656万以及巴西1188万美元。

The box office of these 8 countries has exceeded [-] million US dollars.

To sum up, the global box office of "Inception" excluding the mainland is 7.6549 million US dollars, or about 52.2 billion yuan. "Sister Shi said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Then how much is the box office in China now?"

"In the past three weeks, "Inception" has won 2600 million, 1800 million and 1200 million yuan in box office respectively, for a total of 5600 million yuan in the three weeks.

Now the domestic box office of "Inception" has reached 12.98 billion yuan, and it will soon break through 13 billion, which is only 13.5 million away from "Avatar"'s 5000 billion. "Sister Shi said.

"Based on the box office of 13.6 billion yuan, calculate the global box office of "Inception"." Chen Hao said.

The box office goal of "Inception" is to surpass "Avatar", and when the box office exceeds 13.5 billion, it should be drawn immediately.

Calculated according to 13.6 billion yuan, it is quite accurate.

"If the domestic box office of "Inception" is 13.6 billion yuan, which is 1.9941 million U.S. dollars, then the final global box office of "Inception" is 9.649 million U.S. dollars!
这个票房成绩排名2010年全球票房排行榜的第3位，仅次于10.632亿的《玩具总动员3》和10.243亿美元的《爱丽丝梦游仙境》。

At the same time, this box office result can be ranked in the top ten of the global film history box office rankings, surpassing the US$3 million of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and lower than the US$9.61 million of "Harry Potter and the Wizard", ranking 9.747th bit! "Sister Shi replied.

Chen Hao was excited when he heard this. This has a global box office of 9.649 million. It must be the global box office champion of Chinese-language movies, and it should be the highest-grossing movie besides Hollywood movies.

It even entered the top ten box office movies in the history of the world, which made Chen Hao couldn't help being shocked.

It's a pity that it is still a little bit short of the global box office of 10 billion US dollars, which is a pity.

Then Chen Hao couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. He seemed a little too greedy, so he asked, "Then how much money did we make?"

"The box office of "Inception" in the mainland is calculated based on 13.6 billion yuan, and based on 42% of the box office share, the producer can get 5.712 million yuan.

"Inception" has a total investment of 1.6 million US dollars, of which Haotian Films invested 1.3 million, accounting for 81.81%, which means it can get a box office of 46729.872 million yuan.

If taxes are deducted, the money we got is 39720.3912 million yuan.

The total global box office excluding the mainland was US$7.6549 million. Based on the 35% box office share, the producers received US$2.6792 million.

Haotian Films received US$2.1918 million according to the investment ratio, and after deducting taxes, it got US$1.863 million.

That is to say, the global box office share of "Inception", Haotian Films can get a total of 2.3893 million US dollars, or about 16.295 billion yuan!

Excluding the investment cost of 9 million yuan and the publicity and distribution expenses of 1 million yuan, Haotian Films earned 6.295 million yuan at the box office! "Sister Shi replied.

"Aren't there advertising sponsorships, audio-visual and movie channels and other copyright fees!" Chen Hao said.

"Well, the advertising sponsorship is 4000 million, the audio-visual copyright is 1500 million, and the movie channel plus other copyright fees are 800 million in total, totaling 6300 million yuan. Excluding taxes, you get 5355 million!
In other words, "Inception" finally brought a total of 6.8305 million yuan in revenue to the company. "Sister Shi said.

Hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but nodded with a smile. Because of the investment of up to 1.6 million US dollars, even Chen Hao was under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, the final global box office results are strong enough. Of course, North America and the mainland are the two largest box office.

The box office in North America can be regarded as expected, but the box office in the mainland is a bit unexpected. Thanks to the great help of Han Sanpin, "Inception" can earn nearly 2 million US dollars in the box office in the mainland.

Otherwise, although "Inception" will not lose money, it is basically equivalent to a waste of work.

Now, Chen Hao feels a lot more relaxed, and Huaying, Bernard, and Guangliang, who have invested with him, can also breathe a sigh of relief.

I believe they are under a lot of pressure. After all, the cost is 1.6 million US dollars, and the pressure to pay back is too great. It is estimated that they are all prepared to lose money.

Now not only have they paid back their capital, but they can also make another fortune. Everyone is happy.

"Okay, that's it for the box office of "Inception", um..." Sister Shi closed the document in her hand and said.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was thrown down by the impatient Chen Hao.
