Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2684: Great news!

A good movie plus a good reputation made "Avatar" a great success from the moment it was released.

Originally, someone was laughing at Cameron. Cameron had no confidence. He didn't follow the rules of the blockbuster. It premiered at 12 o'clock in the evening on Friday, but at 12 o'clock in the evening on Monday.

As a result, the dazzling results of "Avatar" directly swollen their faces.

On the first day, the global box office reached 170 million U.S. dollars. The next day, the global box office exceeded 180 million U.S. dollars. By Thursday, it dropped to 120 million U.S. dollars. However, the total box office directly exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars in the following three days on the weekend.

The first week of its official release, "Avatar", with a global box office of 970 million U.S. dollars, shocked the film industry, fans and unrelated people all over the world.

At this time, no one doubted that "Avatar" could break the record of "Titanic". What they cared about was how much Cameron could raise this record!

This is a carnival for movie fans, a harvest feast for investors and theaters.

Movie fans call Peng Huanyou to watch it over and over again, and to discuss it on the Internet, it is almost a posture of crushing all the news.

The investors and the theaters of the screenings are naturally making a lot of money because of this.

In the first week of the box office of 970 million U.S. dollars, excluding box office shares, taxes, etc., 20th Century Fox was able to get at least 300 million U.S. dollars, and their production cost was only 230 million U.S. dollars.

This means that they not only paid back their money in the first week, but also made a net profit of 70 million US dollars!

Don't watch a movie, don't watch it at all. It is two to three hundred million, three to five hundred million dollars at the box office. In fact, a blockbuster movie can have a box office profit of 7000 dollars, which is pretty good! More blockbusters will lose money even when they are shown, and in the end, they will be counted as earning by relying on DVDs and other peripheral rights to make money.

Now only in the first week, 20th Century Fox has made 70 million, and every day after that is a net profit. Why don't you say they are not happy?

The most conservative estimate today is that the global box office of "Avatar" will exceed 2 billion U.S. dollars. Calculating the 20th century Fox's profit is definitely more than 300 million U.S. dollars! Plus peripheral rights and so on. At least the profit should be calculated between 600-800 million US dollars.

So, after the first week's box office results came out. In the 20th century, Fox directly issued Cameron a cash check of 50 million US dollars as a reward for his hard work.

This is just a reward. Cameron’s director and producer’s share will have to be settled slowly.

Of course, there are also reasons for Fox's repair relationship in the 20th century.

After all, when Cameron ran for the number of screens on "Avatar" before, 20th Century Fox didn't help much and generally didn't like "Avatar" very much.

The result now proves that "Avatar" is a super gold weapon, and Cameron is still the "king of the movie world". For the future "Avatar" trilogy, in order to be able to have the title of the world's No. 1 box office record, 20th Century Fox will of course pay a lot of money to express his apology.

Cameron naturally likes money. He also knows what Fox means in the 20th century, so he naturally laughs at it.

But at the same time, he also sighed, Xiao Qi, not only has unparalleled financial talents, but also has an outstanding vision in the film industry.

Just by looking at how he bought out the copyright of Kiwi Huaguo Cinema Line with US$10 million, he knew what a bargain business this was.

According to the information gathered. The kiwi movie theater line directly exceeded 40 million U.S. dollars in box office within a week, accounting for 70% of the box office of "Avatar" in Huaguo Cinema during the same period.

The main reason is of course the 3D and imax screens in Huaguo Cinema. 80% are in the kiwi movie theater line, of course, the most part of the income goes to their pockets.

Imagine that they bought out the copyright with 10 million U.S. dollars. The profit in the first week was doubled, which is really exaggerated than 20th Century Fox.

Similarly, their future reports can last for two or three months, and this profit may exceed 200 million U.S. dollars!

Before the release of "Avatar", who would have expected that the kiwi cinema line could have so much income in China? At the beginning, 20th Century Fox thought that the copyright fee of 10 million US dollars was selling well!

This is only the movie theater line of Kiwi China, because of the full support of "Avatar", Kiwi North America and European theaters. In this week, the attendance rate is also terribly high.

According to the survey company's statistics, if the box office of "Avatar" can exceed 2 billion US dollars. This time, the global theater chain's revenue on "Avatar" is as high as more than 1.2 billion US dollars, and at least one third of it belongs to the kiwi theater chain.

A movie can be accounted for 400 million U.S. dollars. It really makes people feel that the movie money is too good to make!

But others also envy not coming to the kiwi cinema line.

Because it gives "Avatar" the biggest filming support, and the other is that they have the most 3D and imax screens in the world. They are the most prepared and of course earn the most.

As "Avatar" is advancing all the way, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Committee of Foreign Investment Committee and the Nasdaq Stock Exchange jointly issued a communiqué that Fairy’s acquisition of Disney’s business activities complies with U.S. laws and regulations and is privatized. The plan has been approved by 90% of the minority shareholders, so it is allowed to officially implement the privatization and delisting of Disney from now on.

This announcement has aroused strong repercussions all over the world, and Chinese people are even more like a holiday, and major newspapers have praised Xiao Qi for his greatness.

The Japanese media is a little bit sour, because from now on, among the six big Hollywood giants, not only are they an Asian company, but also a more powerful fairy company.

And Disney is much larger in terms of profitability and influence than Columbia and MGM, especially since it also owns Disneyland, one of the three largest theme parks in the world, which all children cannot resist. With this, you have a treasure that will never dry up!

Since the government announcement, Disney has officially started various privatization and delisting work.

In a legal sense, the Fairy Company is not the only owner of Disney, but in fact, Disney is already Xiao Qi's private property.

As a result, Disney's management directly gave the fans a few big gifts.

"Disney has reached an agreement with Marvel to launch at least ten heroic movies in the next five years, including Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Hawkeye, Flash, Avengers, etc. Heroes and teams will appear on the big screen!"

"Disney Pictures has reached a preliminary agreement with director James Cameron to direct a youth science fiction action movie with a trilogy, with a total preliminary budget of 500 million US dollars!"

"Disneyland has been actively negotiating with China, and plans to open four Disney theme parks in China in the next ten years, so that fans in the East can better experience Disney's animation culture!"

After such a piece of news was released, it spread all over the world immediately, second only to the recent popularity of "Avatar".

Manga fans are naturally excited and rushing to tell each other.

Seeing "Spider-Man", "Superman", "Fantastic Four", "Iron Man" and so on, these characters are put on the screen, and more and better heroes are still in the foreseeable future, which makes comic fans My heart is unspeakable anxiety.

They grew up watching these comics since they were young. Who wouldn't want their idols to appear on the big screen?

However, previously limited to various technologies, there was no way to shoot live-action movies of these comic characters, and Marvel didn't have that great strength, and it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot these movies.

It's fine now. With the investment of a super rich man like Xiao Qi, these heroes can finally meet everyone on the big screen as soon as possible. Just thinking about it makes me feel very refreshed.

If the first news is the gospel of many comics fans, then the second news will have a bigger wave among movie fans all over the world.

After "Titanic", Cameron hardly made a movie. Everyone thought he was in semi-retirement. Unexpectedly, such an "Avatar" was born suddenly, so that everyone would treat it like this. The king of movies is full of expectations again.

It's just that Cameron's efficiency is too low. It took 10 years to shoot an "Avatar", and I don't know if I will have to wait another 10 years for the next one.

Now Disney and Cameron have reached an agreement. Since it is a trilogy, one can be released in two or three years at most, and it won't be long to wait!

As for the question of whether the film is good or not ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can impress Cameron's script, is it bad? How could Cameron smash his own brand? !

The good news on Article 3 is more targeted. Of course, most of the people who are happy are only Chinese.

There were only five Disneyland before, two in the United States, one in Japan, one in Paris, and one in Hong Kong.

Leaving aside other places for the time being, if fans from China want to go to Disneyland, they have to go to Hong Kong, which consumes a lot of energy, money and time, and it feels like a waste of money.

Moreover, the reception capacity of Hong Kong Disney is too small. It has only 126 hectares, which is basically only one percent the size of Disneyland in Florida. The crowded Disneyland makes it uncomfortable for many people to play.

Now that four Disney parks are to be built in China in one go, then the Disney fans in China will be blessed, and although there are four, the population of China has 1.5 billion, which can be completely digested!

Thinking of going to Disneyland every three to five, the satisfaction in the hearts of fans in China is simply not to mention! (To be continued.)
