Chapter 191

Entering the second week, Spider-Man is still the only focus on the market.

Although the screening rate has declined, on average, it is still as high as 67%. The number of theaters released in "Spider-Man" has increased by 139 more than 3,549.

What is this concept?

American theaters have a complete genre partition. Movies like "Spider-Man" that have already ignited enthusiasm across the United States before it was released will definitely be all commercial theaters, and all of them will be released.

However, in the second week, there were still 139 theaters released, which only explains one truth - cinemas that usually only release some horror films, art films, cartoons, and classic old films also joined in.

In the current market, "Spider-Man" represents the market and means money!

No one will be unable to get over money!

Although it has entered the workday, fans' enthusiasm for "Spider-Man" has not diminished.

Monday, the box office was $19.78 million; Tuesday, the box office was $13.89 million; Wednesday, the box office was $12.91 million; Thursday, the box office was $1042; Friday, the box office was $28.7 million...

In 5 working days, "Spider-Man" won $85.7 million in the North American market!

Once such data appears, the whole Hollywood can see it clearly. After "Titanic" and "Star Wars Prequel 1", the third movie with a box office of over 100 million in the week is about to be born - "Spider-Man"!

The Hollywood Reader reported the shining glory of Don En: "When other Hollywood directors were still crazily pursuing the insurmountable mountain of box office over 100 million in the first week, the young director Don Walker had surpassed all his peers and embarked on his own path. The first week exceeded 100 million, and it seemed that there was no difficulty for him. He was exploring towards higher goals, such as... the box office over 100 million in the next week! This is by no means a big deal. The weekend is here, let's wait and see!"

Sure enough, on Saturday, the entire Hollywood and even North America were shocked.

"Spider-Man" set a single-day box office record of 37.98 million last week, reaching $38.06 million!

The box office growth may be very common for art films, but it is almost impossible for commercial films.

The last time this situation happened... it was the Titanic from 3 years ago.

The box office of the next weekend was even higher than the box office of the first weekend. The movie of Donn Walker once again refreshed the new cognition of Hollywood filmmakers!

There is no way, with the fermentation of Forbes' rich list, Don Walker, as the richest man, has gathered greater popularity and attraction.

On Sunday, Spider-Man still had a box office of more than $30 million, reaching $31.24 million.

At this point, the box office of "Spider-Man" was released in the next week, reaching $155 million!

Including the $117 million in the first three days of the first weekend, 10 days after its release in North America, Spider-Man had a box office of as much as $272 million, locking in the North American box office championship this year!

Before this, the popular Mission: Impossible 2 was still struggling to get closer to the $200 million mark, but under the squeezing of "Spider-Man", the screening rate of "Mission: Impossible 2" has dropped to about 1%. It would be very difficult for North American box office to exceed $200 million.

Don N has heard some rumors, it is said... In order to win better cooperation with Paramount in Mission Impossible 3, Tom Cruise, the producer of "Mission Impossible 2", is likely to pay out of his own pocket to make the North American box office of "Mission Impossible 2" successfully exceed 200 million US dollars.

However, this achievement is very fortunate for Paramount. Don even received a private email from Paramount Chairman Shirley Lansing, inviting Don to attend the celebration party of Mission Impossible 2.

"Mission: Impossible 2" chose the end of May period, and it was a great luck not to encounter "Spider-Man".

Looking at the miserable appearance of Disney and Fox now makes people laugh and sigh.

Disney's "Sixty Seconds" is better, with a box office of $16.8 million the following week, and the total box office in North America successfully exceeded $30 million. According to the current situation, the box office in North America can exceed $50 million.

Although it is far from the cost of $90 million and the promotional support of $60 million, at least... it means that they still have a little room for resistance under the competition of "Spider-Man", which is not too embarrassing.

In contrast, the box office results of Twentieth Century Fox’s "Titans A.E." are terrible and unbearable!

The first week of "Titan A.E." had a box office of 3.5 million US dollars, and the second week of the box office was only 2.9 million US dollars. The number of theaters released has dropped from 2,734 to 1,543. According to the current trend, by the third week, the number of theaters released by "Titan A.E." will definitely not exceed 500!

According to authoritative media organizations, "Titan A.E." will be forced to be removed from the theater on the fifth weekend, and the final North American box office is estimated to be around 10 million US dollars.

Compared with the $75 million investment in this movie and the $20 million promotion and distribution expenses, it was simply a loss to my grandma's house!

It is said that because of the serious losses of Titan A.E., the board of directors of Twentieth Century Fox, has raised serious questions about the new chairman and CEO Tom Rossman.

Fortunately, Tom Rossman had been prepared for a long time, and the explanation he gave was very good - "Titan A.E." was a project determined by Bill McNick during his tenure and had nothing to do with him.

As for the release errors that were in the same series as Spider-Man... the distribution department must be held accountable directly.

...

Don Eun has not yet obtained the overseas box office data for the second week, but judging from the current situation, everything goes very smoothly, and it is even very likely that just after the second week, the global box office of "Spider-Man" can exceed 500 million US dollars!

As July begins, "Spider-Man" will be released in more countries and regions around the world, including box office Okura Asia.

Tang En got a poster from the other side in his hand, which was so funny.

Although the other side has joined the WTO, due to special reasons such as national conditions and policies, Hollywood can only get a box office share of 25%, rather than 41% in international practice. Moreover, the distribution work must be handed over to China Film Group, and they are naturally responsible for the design of the poster.

In addition to the close-up of Spider-Man leaping between buildings in New York, this poster is the most attractive number on the top row - 50 billion!

The following line of small words introduces the introduction - the new masterpiece "Spider-Man" of director Donne Walker, who has a net worth of 50 billion yuan!

Tang En put down the poster, thought for a moment, and shook his head secretly.

In this era, if the net worth of RMB 50 billion is placed on the other side, it is considered the richest man, right? Such a publicity stunt is indeed very attractive.

But...will this be too philosophical?

Although this gimmick is indispensable in North America and Europe, it is still a bit impetuous to write such a publicity note on the poster.

In any case, the essence of movies is art.

Of course, movies are also Tang En's secret method!

Now, the final review of "Mr. Smiths" has been passed, and the construction of the crew has been basically completed. As long as negotiations are completed with several sponsors, they will go to France to film.

Cameron's new movie "Never Sinks", the main actors have also been confirmed, including the male lead Matthew McConaughey, the second male lead Mel Gibson, the second female lead Charlize Theron, the first female lead... and also Donn's "old friend" - Liv Taylor.

The producers are co-sponsored by Don Walker, James Cameron, Grant Hill, Mel Gibson, and Cameron's partner Lei Sancheney. They are also selected as deputy director... There are as many as 12 people, and the main creative team alone is a large crew.

The word-of-mouth marketing of "Spider-Man" was basically completed. Tang En finally took the time to prepare for the next big task - to take action against Disney!

Disney is the sixth largest media group in the world today, second only to Time Warner, Viacom, Viwandi, News Corp and Comcast.

Although Tang En Pictures achieved a complete victory in the box office battle this summer, this is just a single aspect of the film industry. If you want to truly compete with Disney in all aspects, there is still a big gap.

In the past two months, Don has tried to launch an attack on Disney from three channels, but all of them have failed.

First, Don En wants to invest in Nick Rodian Children's Channel and join forces with Viacom. Don En Pictures provides content and Viacom provides channels to compete with the upcoming Disney Channel. However, because Viacom's short-sightedness, arrogantness and scruples, he lost the possibility of cooperation.

Second, Don En wanted to vigorously develop the animation industry and fight against Disney Animation Headquarters. However, the animation master Chris Mellerdandley failed to dig out, the acquisition of DreamWorks animation failed, Pixar has not yet come into contact with, Siliwu Animation... The future is even more slim and the future is unknown.

Third, Don En wanted to obtain the copyright of the movie "Barbie Doll" to fight against the "Disney Princess" series. As a result, after two months of negotiations, Don En Pictures got nothing, but Mattel and Disney reached a cooperation.

The failure of exploration in three directions also made Tang En understand a truth: a veteran giant company like Disney has extensive relationships, broad channels, and many strategies. It is impossible to kill it with one stick.

Donne needs to look at the battle with Disney from a higher dimension and three-dimensional perspective.

Although Tang En Film has been at a disadvantage in the competition between TV channels, animation industry and IP property rights, Tang En was not discouraged.

Because, he has a real killer weapon!

If you want to break through a strong city wall with strong defense and exert force from all angles at the same time, the final result is likely to be a failure, especially when there is a small fight against more.

Concentrate superior forces and attack one place, and lead the surface with the point, perhaps... can achieve a miraculous effect!

In fact, Tang En laid the foreshadowing very early on.

This time, Tang En Pictures cannot fail and will never fail!

Because this is a slashing the firewood from the bottom of the pot, it is really true... Absolute, household plan!
Chapter completed!
