How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 109 The Unbelievable Box Office Trend

"It's over, okay, I see."

Zhang Nan suppressed his excited tone and hung up the phone, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Seeing this, Ye Quanzhen asked curiously, "A'nan, what makes you so happy?"

Since the last 'stealing people' incident.

It may be because they know that there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

So the eldest brother Chenglong turned a blind eye to Zhang Nanlai's obstruction of the "Rush Hour" crew.

And what Zhang Nan is good at is Rigong Yipiao.

First, I came to visit the set when the crew was not busy on weekends, and then occasionally from Monday to Friday.

Up to now, Zhang Nan has once again been stationed in the crew of "Rush Hour".

But now the ship is still in the state of 'everyone shouting and beating', so facing Ye Quan's real inquiry, Zhang Nan explained vaguely: "The negotiation has become a cooperation."

Ye Quan really was able to start in the Wanwan entertainment circle and get a movie appointment in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, he is not stupid for nothing.

Knowing that Zhang Nan's words were vague, he didn't want to talk too much about the cooperation on the phone with her, so he didn't ask.

Because she cared more about Zhang Nan than the project.

This may be a common problem of Wanwan and Xiangjiang female artists!
To put it in a good direction, they are more traditional in thinking.

But to put it in a bad direction, it is that they have low self-esteem in their character.

Because after the female artists in these two places become famous, they usually want to rely on their fame to marry into a wealthy family, rather than relying on their own efforts to become a wealthy family.

With the passage of time, the situation of the [Titanic] also began to slowly change.

The week after the release, Christmas in North America came.

[Titanic] received US$540 in a single week, a reverse increase of 20.00% and 007 compared to the box office data of the first week, and won the North American single-week box office champion list for a second time, continuing to overwhelm [[-]: Tomorrow's Empire] 】beat.

But this result did not bring much comfort to the producers, [-]th Century Fox and Paramount.

Because this kind of reverse growth in the box office of movies during the Christmas week is a very common situation.

Christmas at this time is to North America, just like the Spring Festival is to China in later generations, and it is a time when the number of moviegoers will increase dramatically.

But when "Titanic" was released for the third week, it once again won the North American weekly box office rankings.

And it received US$330 in a single week, after controlling the box office decline to [-]%.

Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount finally sensed that something was wrong.

Because of this 90.00% drop, if you think about it the other way around, it will maintain [-]% of the previous week's box office!
It's not a matter of rounding.

It can be said that there is almost no decline, and this is almost impossible for a commercial film with a large investment.

Therefore, such a box office performance has never been seen even by [-]th Century Fox and Paramount, which are Hollywood giants.

And at this time, "Titanic" began to be released in various parts of the world, and the box office response was also very good.

So this film... doesn't seem to suffer too badly?
Yes.

At this time, [-]th Century Fox and Paramount, the best hope for "Titanic" is not to lose so badly that they don't even dare to think about getting back the money.

Because of the investment of [-] million US dollars, if you want to return the capital, you need at least [-] million US dollars at the box office.

And how many movies have a global box office of [-] million US dollars every year?

Say so!

Among the top ten of the original time and space's annual box office rankings in 1996, only the top three broke [-] million.

In this time and space, counting Zhang Nan’s [Jingcheng Martial Arts] with a global box office of 4.8 million US dollars, there are only four movies.

More importantly, all of these movies with a box office of more than [-] million were released during the summer vacation around May.

It was released in the winter file, but there was not a single one.

So even in the third week of [Titanic], the box office showed a sky-high drop.

But Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount are still not very optimistic about its prospects.

However, this lack of optimism was completely broken when "Titanic" was released in its fifth week.

It received US$600 million in a single week. Compared with US$870 million in the fourth week, the box office increased by 20.00% to [-], reaching the highest single-week box office since it was released.

You know, there is no Christmas this week.

The emergence of this achievement can be described as incredible.

And this single week's results also allowed the box office of "Titanic", which has been released for five weeks, to reach a total of 1.62 million US dollars at the North American box office.

More importantly, including the box office of "Titanic" in film markets around the world, the global box office of "Titanic" has exceeded [-] million US dollars, and the production cost has basically returned.

Counting the peripheral income, maybe you can make a small profit.

This made the executives of [-]th Century Fox and Paramount, who were anxious to jump off the building, breathe a sigh of relief.

The attitude towards James Cameron has also changed from wanting to block him at the beginning to no longer cooperating.

Then the time slowly came to the tenth week.

[Titanic] won the box office championship in North America for five consecutive weeks. The North American box office has accumulated to 3.1 million US dollars, and the global box office has accumulated to 9 million US dollars.

Surpassing [Jurassic Park 1]'s global box office of 9.12 million US dollars, becoming the box office champion of film history is basically a certainty.

The executives of [-]th Century Fox and Paramount, who had breathed a sigh of relief before, could no longer hold back the smiles on their faces.

The attitude towards James Cameron also changed from the previous indifference and became enthusiastic again.

And when the time came to the No.15 week when [Titanic] was released.

When "Titanic" won the box office championship in North America for five consecutive weeks, the North American box office accumulated to 3.82 million, and the global box office accumulated to 16 billion US dollars.

The whole of Hollywood has been dumbfounded.

In other words, not only Hollywood, but practitioners in the global film industry are confused.

No one could have imagined that the box office of a movie can reach such a point of 16 billion US dollars.

And it seems that the 16 billion US dollars is not the end.

The senior executives of [-]th Century Fox and Paramount, who could no longer hold back their smiles before, now have their front teeth the most prominent on their faces.

There's nothing I can do, my face is numb from laughing.

Because even if "Titanic" is drawn now, just counting the box office revenue, their investment of [-] million U.S. dollars has earned at least [-]% of the profit.

This is a profit margin that can make people trample on all laws.

Now it is legal to get it, and there is no need to bear the risk of turning around.
