How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 726: $ million in the first week
The box office was RMB 42707.28 million, the box office was RMB 50750.25 million, and the box office was RMB 40474.35 million.

In its first three days, "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" took in a box office of 13.3 billion yuan in the mainland.

At the same time, the first week performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" in North America was also quite good, with a direct box office of US$8235.3 million, US$7012.4 million, and US$6012.7. The total cumulative box office also reached US$2.12 million.

As a result, just counting the first-week box office results in North America and Mainland China, the cumulative box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" in its first week has reached more than million US dollars, close to million US dollars.

What's more, the theme of "Pirates of the Caribbean" originally had a huge influence on the European, neon... and other film markets.

Generally speaking, the box office contributed by the European movie market accounts for one-half or even two-thirds of the entire movie box office.

It's just that Europe and Neon are indeed in decline today, and even the comprehensive digital theater chain has not been fully upgraded, so box office statistics will be a bit slow.

And when these places calculated the first-week box office of [Pirates of the Caribbean 6] a few days later, this was indeed the case.

In addition to the mainland and North America, other movie markets contributed nearly 6 million U.S. dollars to the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean ".

Taken together, the box office data of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" in its first week reached about million US dollars.

Some senior box office forecasters even calculated the first-week box office data and trends of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" and gave the final box office target of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", which will be between US$15 billion and US$18 billion globally.

Without it.

When Disney Pictures executives saw this data, they felt excited, but they calmed down immediately.

Of the entire box office share of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", excluding the theater chain's % and Zhang Nan's %, the only amount that can fall into the hands of the producer Disney Pictures is The remaining % of the box office is divided into dividends.

Without it.

no doubt.

Even based on the box office revenue of 18 billion US dollars, the box office revenue Disney Pictures can get from "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" is only 2.7 million US dollars.

Including the peripherals of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", it can be sold for almost one billion US dollars, but % of it is given to Zhang Nan.

So in the end it fell into the hands of Disney Pictures, which was just over 700 million US dollars.

A number of Disney executives below nodded in agreement.

It can be said that this wave of box office sales of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" only made Disney Pictures tens of millions of dollars.

"The follow-up projects of the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series must be turned into co-productions. Otherwise, the company will not be able to make money with such huge investments and low returns every year." Robert Watt said loudly at an internal meeting of Disney Pictures.

However, the production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" is already as high as 6.5 million US dollars.

[Pirates of the Caribbean 6] has become another movie that has exceeded one billion US dollars in global box office, so there is no problem.

In this wave of "Pirates of the Caribbean 6", they used Zhang Nan's salary to make million US dollars in production fees, and they were almost found out by people sent from the Disney Group headquarters to audit the accounts.

So in order to avoid this happening again, the best way is to complicate the investment share and investor composition of the project.

So with all kinds of intricate relationships, it is particularly difficult to check the accounts. After all, as a member of a large North American group company, you cannot go to another large group company in the mainland to audit the accounts without any hindrance.

You must know that the White House once sent a working group to the Empire Cemetery area to check the accounts. At that time, that area was still within the jurisdiction of North American armed forces.

But the final audit working group received a rocket of enthusiasm directly from Lao Tie, which brought the audit work to a standstill and has never been restarted.

This is the result of auditing accounts within the scope affected by North America. However, the results of auditing accounts within the scope not affected by North America are even more conceivable.

……

1.6 million RMB box office, 1.2 million RMB box office, 9357.33 million RMB box office...

"Pirates of the Caribbean 6", which was released in early May, beat "Beijing Meets Seattle 2", which was released in late April, to a pulp.

Originally this was nothing.

After all, if the one with inferior skills loses, there is nothing to say, and the opponent is a film starring Zhang Nan, so there is nothing to say.

However, as the director of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2", Xue Xiaolu still wants to try and see if he can apply for a wave of extension keys to improve the performance of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" by increasing the screening time. Box office results.

After all, "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" is a romance film, and romance films generally have a relatively long release cycle.

But the result was shocking to Xue Xiaolu, the director of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2".

Because the extension key of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" was competed by "Pirates of the Caribbean 6".

This made Xue Xiaolu explode and went straight to the Huaying headquarters building.

The first thing he said after entering the door of the president's office was to throw out the extension key for "Pirates of the Caribbean 6": "Mr. Kang, I know Director Zhang is famous and has a high status, but "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" is pure Hollywood. What a blockbuster!”

Xue Xiaolu can make a drama like "Beijing Meets Seattle 1", in which a mistress gives birth overseas and has a baby in a closet, and finally becomes the main palace, and has the movie released. The relationship must be there, and it is not low.

Kangpei didn't waste any time and directly revealed the co-production project plan of "Pirates of the Caribbean 7" and the co-production project plan of "Star Wars: A Star Wars Story".

"If you can continuously help China Film get two co-production plans for the world's top IP series, no matter how famous or high-status you are, even if the film you make is a musical about Asan from India, I can do it. I'll get you the extension key," Kang Pei said righteously.

Xue Xiaolu: "..."
-
Zhang Nan didn't know about this little turmoil that happened at Huaying.

Of course.

Even if he knew, Zhang Nan wouldn't care.

Because at this time, after a short rest, no, it was not even a break, but another level of work, he had already entered a new crew - the [Transformers 4] crew.

Fortunately, the protagonists in "Transformers 4" are the Autobots, so Zhang Nan's workload is much less than that of the previous two crews.

But for more than half a year, Zhang Nan was really tired from starring in "Jurassic World 3", "Voldemort 3" and now "Transformers 4".
