Chapter 131: Terminator's Gains

Just ten days ago, when Qiao Feng was about to return to Hong Kong from filming in the mainland, Terminator was released for three months and was released from theaters, and the North American box office received more than $47 million.

Compared with the North American box office released in 84 years of the original time and space is nearly 10 million US dollars more, which is a bit beyond Qiao Feng's expectations, but it is actually normal, the time of the release of the original time and space in 84 years is on October 26.

This release time can be quite awkward, first of all, the first two weeks of its release are basically the coldest time of the year at the box office.

Labor Day in the United States is on the first Monday of the first week of September, that is, the time when it has just entered September, and almost three months before Labor Day is the hottest summer season of the year.

After Labor Day and before the first weekend of November is the coldest autumn season of the year.

The summer file has exhausted the development of the market, and the autumn file is the time period with the least number of moviegoers throughout the year, and October 26th is the most embarrassing in this time period, because it is just the last two more weekends of the autumn file.

It was supposed to be the first two weeks of the box office war, but it was the coldest time period of the year, so you can imagine how much worse the box office of the Terminator is compared to other schedules.

After these two weeks, it is more accurate to call it Christmas or holiday stalls, because during this period of time, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day are all gathered together, and naturally a large number of them begin to gather again.

This is the awkward situation of the original space-time terminator when it was released, the first two weeks were the coldest week, and then it was more than two months of fierce competition with blockbusters.

It is not easy to get more than 38 million box office without big-name actors and big-name directors, compared to an R-rated movie with an investment of more than 6 million.

What is the concept of R level, that is, the restricted level, that is, the audience aged 13-17 requires a parent or adult to accompany the viewing.

First of all, the audience under the age of 13 is excluded, and the audience of 13-17 cannot watch without parents and adults, which is a large part of the audience.

Therefore, it is really not easy for the original space-time terminator to get more than 38 million box office.

Qiao Feng advanced the filming of the Terminator to 82, and the release to February 14, 83, this time period is not good to be honest, but it is much better than the original October 26th.

Released on February 14th, not to mention Valentine's Day, the key is that this schedule is just the end of the winter file, and the vast majority of the winter files released are literary and artistic films.

In such a schedule, such a purely commercial film as Terminator is naturally in an absolute box office advantage.

When the Terminator was released for three weeks, it entered the spring file, which was still quite cold, but it was much better than the autumn file.

The key is that there is no competition for blockbusters in both winter and spring, and the Terminator released during this period, as a commercial film, not only has enough commercial elements to attract not so many audiences to buy tickets to watch the film, but also has enough lasting and stable time.

The three-month period is basically a battle between the Terminator and some other small productions, and the Terminator has been in the lead.

When the Terminator was about to paint, the time had just entered May, and it was the beginning of the summer season.

It can be said that the release time of the Terminator is really good, and the time when the two blockbusters gather before and after avoided it just now, and also avoided the coldest period.

Therefore, there is a box office of nearly 10 million US dollars more than the original time and space.

The North American box office of more than 47 million is about 19 million US dollars, and the remaining 40% is about 19 million US dollars, which is 2 million US dollars to Anne Heard Company, and finally 17 million US dollars in Qiao Feng's hands.

But that's just the gross profit, and after removing the high taxes, it's only 13 million.

All in all, with the North American box office revenue, Qiao Feng's $7 million investment has been fully repaid, and he has earned another $6 million.

After the overseas release, looking at the box office results, it is estimated that there will be 7 million to 10 million US dollars in the account, but this is not taxed.

But these are not the big heads, the box office revenue of films released in North America accounts for at most 40% or 50% of the total revenue, and the other 50% or 60% is peripheral income such as videotapes and TV broadcast licenses.

These are all long-term incomes, and in general, there will be at least 20 million dollars in income.

Unlike in Hong Kong, in Southeast Asia, Qiao Feng has written so many high-grossing movies, and he has copyrights, but in the end, the peripheral income he got was less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

So, making movies or making money in North America.

However, the periphery, as well as the overseas box office, are a bit far away, and those are still a few months, a year, or even longer to get their hands on.

At present, part of the revenue of the North American box office has arrived, not all, and it will take a while to get it all.

However, the funds currently received are enough for Qiao Feng to start the film that he had promised to prepare for Guan Zhilin a long time ago, as well as another film that he was going to act in person.

"I wasn't taken advantage of by those guys when I was filming Wufuxing, right?"

After a fierce battle, Qiao Feng leaned on the edge of the bed and smoked a cigarette afterwards, Zhong Chuhong nestled in his arms like a kitten and enjoyed the caress of his man.

Hearing Qiao Feng's concerned inquiry, Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said in a slightly nasal voice: "No, I told Brother Sanmao before filming, I don't want to shoot intimate scenes."

"What do you think of your film?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

"It's good, it's funny when it's filmed, and people often laugh, and I think the box office should be very good." Zhong Chuhong thought for a while and said.

"Really, then my film is right, isn't it going to be a miserable loss?" Qiao Feng made a very frightened look, but the cigarette in his mouth didn't show any panic at all.

"No, you're the best, and if you want to lose, it's our film that you lose." Zhong Chuhong didn't want to say it.

"You say that, are the films you participated in really good?" Qiao Feng chuckled and quipped.

"What's wrong, I've got all the remuneration I should get.Besides, it's you on one side, and outsiders on the other, of course I'm looking to you, I hope your film wins." Zhong Chuhong said as a matter of course, of course, there is something she didn't say, that is, Qiao Feng's film has never lost, how can this time be an exception?

Blind trust, this is all a woman can give a man.No matter what you say or do, even if you are facing Golden Harvest who dominates the Hong Kong film industry, even if there is the big brother in the film industry Hong Jinbao, and the most popular and appealing Cheng Long, I still believe in you, there is no reason, just because it is you.
