Chapter 14 900 million on the first day in North America

Box office appeal: $950 million.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Nan opened his eyes after a night's rest, he opened his golden finger.
-
Host: Zhang Nan

Films involved: [Toy Story 3.5, 900 million US dollars], [Beijing Wuguan, [-] million US dollars]

Box office appeal: $450 million
-
He had already put all his box office appeal on [Jingcheng Wuguan] before, and the box office appeal has been cleared, so the accumulated box office appeal now is brought by the box office on the first day of [Jingcheng Wuguan].

Excited, Zhang Nan lifted off the quilt covering his body.

Although he had already expected this result, when the fact happened, Zhang Nan was still full of excitement and couldn't control himself.

900 million US dollars on the first day.

Among other things, just relying on the box office on the first day, he made most of the investment in [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] back to Disney.

The rest of the cost will be about the same depending on tomorrow's box office, and there is still money to be made.

And you must know that [Jingcheng Wuguan] was released on a normal schedule without publicity.

In order to still have such box office results, theaters will definitely increase the number of big screens, and Disney will definitely increase investment in film promotion.

After all, when the film has no publicity and the scale of its release is average, the box office is a big hit, so every time they add an additional screen and spend a penny on publicity, they can get more returns.

Zhang Nan is happy to see theaters and Disney doing this, after all, he now expects the box office of [Beijing Wuguan] to be as high as possible.

but……

When will theaters and Disney get into action?
He can directly know the box office data of [Jingcheng Wuguan] through Golden Finger.

But the high-level executives of the theater chain and Disney did not hang up, they could only wait for the staff to sort out and report.

There is a time difference here.

Although April is the spring file, it belongs to the off-season of the film market.

But as the last month of the spring file, it is not far from the summer file.

Some blockbuster films that are not very powerful, but feel that they are not as good as those big productions, will also choose to compete in the film market in April.

For example, two days later, that is, April 4th.

Michael Bay, who has just directed the film not long ago, the future director of "Pearl Harbor" and "Transformers Trilogy", will join hands with Nicolas Cage to land in the North American film market with his new work "Brave to the Deadly Island".

Although this film is not considered a major A-level production, the investment in a B-level production is considered to be at the top, and its strength is not weak. The original time and space global rake of 3.4 million US dollars proves everything.

Moreover, this film is also invested by Disney.

It's just that Disney feels that the style of the film is different from the overall style of Disneyland's sub-supply, so it is released under the name of Bowei Pictures, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney.

So if [Jingcheng Wuguan] can’t increase the number of publicity and big screens in these two days, after the release of [Brave to Desperate Island], it may be difficult for [Jingcheng Wuguan] to increase the number of publicity and big screens .

After all, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat.

Now Zhang Nan wants to make a phone call to the senior management of Disney and theaters, tell them the data, and let them quickly increase the number of big screens and publicity.
-
Zhang Nan is anxious here, and the news from Disney and the theaters is not much later than Zhang Nan (mainly because Zhang Nan is sleeping late).

Disney.

Vice President Robert rubbed his fist. It had been a long time since he beat his brother-in-law, but his hands still ached.

Although it will not be long afterwards, he will also suffer from domestic violence.

But Robert didn't regret it, he only regretted that the beating hadn't been put into action sooner.

His savings for most of his life were just given to him by that little brother-in-law, no, that little bastard...

"Dong dong!"

"Come in."

The secretary twisted her body and walked in enchantingly, with a document in her hand.

"What's the matter?" Robert asked with some confusion.

Disney is different from other Hollywood Eight in that its business scope is broader, such as Disneyland and other children-oriented businesses.

Therefore, for the overall brand image of the company, apart from animated films that will be produced and distributed under the name of Disney, projects such as live-action films are all produced under its wholly-owned subsidiaries - Bowei, Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures. Choose one for production and distribution.

If the name is given up, the jurisdiction will naturally disappear, and Disney's animated films are Disney's pillar industry, and there is a special department responsible for it. Therefore, as the vice president of Disney's film and television department, Robert Watt's daily work is actually relatively easy. of.

At a time when there were no movie projects to be approved and released in the Disney headquarters, no one could disturb him, not even his enchanting secretary.

He is such an old man, and he has suffered from domestic violence.

The reason why I found a beautiful secretary was not for that, but to tell others that he was okay.

"President, this is the box office data after our movie was released yesterday. The theater chain sent it through the distribution department and handed over a document." The enchanting secretary bent down and put the document on the table.

It was only when Robert heard the words that he remembered that he hadn't been fine recently. The movie in which the little bastard was the producer was released yesterday.

"Okay, I know, put it here."

When mentioning that little beast, Robert thought of his small coffers that he had reported, and then his heart felt a little uncomfortable, so he didn't really want to read this document now.

The secretary with a charming figure was a little embarrassed, then had a headache, and then bit the bullet and said: "President, the theater is very anxious about this document, I hope you will reply as soon as possible after reading it."

"Ok!"

Robert was a little impatient, but seeing the embarrassment of the enchanting secretary, and the fact that the theater is one of Disney's important partners, he picked up the document.

Then let me see this little...

Before the last two words were uttered, Robert had already seen the content of the document and the box office data, and then he was stunned.

900 million.

As the vice president of Disney's film and television management department, Robert Watt did not rely on nepotism like old Luke, but he really relied on his strength to fight one by one.

So after seeing the 900 million box office on the first day, I immediately reacted.

He is very clear about the concept of a movie that can earn nearly 900 million US dollars on the first day without any publicity.

This is definitely able to break through the box office of [-] million US dollars, and there is a high probability that it can hit the box office of [-] million US dollars, or even [-] million US dollars... Well, [-] million US dollars is a bit nonsense, but under this situation, it can get this kind of first-day box office. The movie, definitely can be booked as one of the hit movies of the year.

We must know that the situation of the North American film market at this time is actually similar to that of the mainland in about 10 years.

Converting 16 million U.S. dollars into RMB is 24 million, [-] million is [-] billion, and [-] million is [-] billion.

With a box office of one or two hundred million US dollars, the movie is definitely a big hit.

What's more, Robert Watt knows very well how much the production cost of [Jingcheng Wuguan] is.

It was a number he would never forget.

Not only because he took 50.00% of the rebates.

It was because of this movie that his brother-in-law Old Luke reported his small treasury to his wife, and the small treasury he had accumulated for most of his life disappeared, and he was also subjected to domestic violence several times.

But the first day box office of [Jingcheng Wuguan] was a success.

It made Robert Watt feel that even if the small treasury was reported, it seemed... nothing.

The success of [Jingcheng Wuguan] will allow him to achieve a great achievement within Disney.

Because the project [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] was a project he set up against the will of the public—under the threats and bribes of his brother-in-law.

The credit for the success of the project, not to mention all his, is almost the same.

With this credit, his career will not reach the peak as before, but will have greater development.

Of course, Disney is at the top here, after all, there is only one president left.

And that position is obviously not something he can covet, and Disney's president ability is quite good.

The more important thing is... he got someone else's concubine, and then he got someone else's position as the president. His eating looks a little too ugly.

And among the top eight in Hollywood, there are seven besides Disney.

It was very difficult for a few days, and there was a lack of a good performance president to resist.

His brother-in-law brought him such a big gift, but he treated his brother-in-law so violently before.

Robert Watt looked at his still throbbing fist, and hesitantly said to himself, "I... did I hit it hard?"
