With the full release of the film, ema Score also released the relevant data of "Shrek 2", with the audience scoring "A", and the North American box office is expected to fall around $400 million.

This prediction did not attract any refutation, but was unanimously recognized by the industry, and everyone knew very well that the explosion of "Shrek 2" was unstoppable, and DreamWorks Animation Studio reached its highest peak since its inception after ten years of grinding.

Jareven Katzenberg, who was once swept away by Walt Disney and Michael Eisner, can finally straighten his back and tell the world that losing Jarif Katzenberg is a loss for Walt Disney.

Disney Animation Studios has been in turmoil, and has not released an influential animated feature film since "Tarzan", Disney can only rely on the work of Pixar Studios to support the façade of the animation kingdom, and is far behind by the industry.

DreamWorks Animation Studios seems to have reached the pinnacle, in stark contrast to Disney Animation Studios.

"Congratulations, Jerryfer. ”

At the reception party between DreamWorks Animation Studios and Embassy Pictures after the promotional meeting, Ronan approached Jerry Katzenberg and said, "You and DreamWorks Animation Studios have brought a commercial masterpiece. ”

Jereif Katzenberg was unequivocal: "I've waited too long for this day. ”

Breaking the all-time record for an animated feature film at the opening weekend box office in North America and trampling all Disney cartoons, including "The Lion King," Jared Katzenberg finally fulfilled the promise he made when he left Disney.

Ronan could roughly guess what Jareven Katzenberg was thinking, saying, "Disney Animation Studios today are far inferior to DreamWorks Animation Studios. ”

Jared Katzenberg smiled confidently: "If Disney Animation Studios doesn't make disruptive changes, it will inevitably be eliminated from the market." ”

Disney Animation Studio's hand-drawn animation art is very powerful, but in the era of computer animation, it is destined to be eliminated by the mainstream market, and the larger the conservative forces, the more difficult it is to change.

Why was the former Disney animation studio reborn after ten years of decline? On the one hand, the profound heritage and huge investment are the most important ones are Pixar Studios.

Walt Disney annexed Pixar Studios, and Pixar's coercs fully entered Disney Animation Studios, and even controlled key departments and positions, and then a group of coercion drove the traditional bigwigs to become coercs again.

But for Jared Katzenberg, a sinking Disney animation studio is a good animation studio.

In Ronan's eyes, the same is true.

As long as Walt Disney can't swallow Pixar Studios, it can't be said that Disney Animation Studios can't reproduce its glory, but it will definitely be pushed back many years.

After chatting about Disney and DreamWorks, Jared Katzenberg suddenly said: "Ronan, according to the agreement between Embassy Pictures and DreamWorks Animation Studio, I have roughly estimated that Embassy Pictures can take about 35% of the revenue of "Shrek 2" based on the proportion of online and offline distributions......"

Ronan knew what he wanted to say, and directly interjected: "In Hollywood, of all the companies with global distribution capabilities, Embassy Pictures has the lowest distribution percentage signed with DreamWorks Animation Studios. Jerryfer, Embassy Pictures is willing to put its posture so low, also for the sake of your friendship with me. ”

These words choked the rest of Jared Katzenberg's words in his throat and put them on the Big Six, and at least forty percent of the film's revenue would go to the distribution companies.

Still, Jared Katzenberg said, "Let's let the people down there talk." ”

Ronan smiled: "It's okay to talk." ”

He also didn't want the distributor and the producer to get into too much trouble, and he had some friendship with Jared Katzenberg, so as long as DreamWorks Animation Studios didn't ask too much, Embassy Pictures could make some concessions.

Jared Katzenberg nodded: "Ronan, working with your company is really reassuring. ”

"It's over. Ronan took the opportunity to change the subject: "I heard that Michael Eisner and Roy Disney have been falling out at Disney's board of directors recently?"

"Nothing is clear to anyone other than the people on the board, but the two are said to have dropped their glasses in the conference room," Jereven Katzenberg said. ”

Ronan thought of Mel Gibson, who worked with Disney, and asked, "Jerryvor, aren't you looking for a chance to meet Michael Eisner?"

"I want to, too. "The feud between Jarev Katzenberg and Michael Eisner can make a movie: "But there is no particularly suitable opportunity. ”

Ronan said: "I remember calling me when the time came, and I really didn't like Michael Eisner very much. ”

There is no personal vendetta between the two, but Michael Eisner is the head of Walt Disney, and Ronan needs to dig into the corner of the future Disney, and it is inevitable that he will stand on the opposite side of Michael Eisner.

Jereif Katzenberg said: "No problem. ”

The small party ended quickly, and Ronan spent most of his time talking to Jared Katzenberg, knowing full well that Jared Katzenberg wanted to punch Michael Eisner in the face.

In the 90s of the last century, Frank Wells, then the president of Walt Disney, died in a helicopter crash, and many people within Disney were eyeing this position, including Jared Katzenberg, who was then the director of Disney's animation studio, when Jared Katzenberg brought the threat of "The Lion King" to the Disney board of directors, and was also the most popular candidate.

Michael Eisner, who is the chairman of Disney, knows that Jared Katzenberg is ambitious and will not be controlled by him.

Eventually his good friend Michael Ovitz became the president and CEO of Disney, driven by Michael Eisner.

Jarev Katzenberg was not angry and once approached Michael Eisner alone, and no one knew exactly what happened, but then it was rumored that Michael Eisner had humiliated Javilv Katzenberg, causing the latter to leave Disney Animation Studios directly.

It was one of the most significant events that happened at Walt Disney in the nineties, and there were no winners for the several parties involved.

Michael Oweis, chosen by Michael Eisner, is not a moderate like Frank Wells at all, and a pair of good friends completely turned their faces.

Michael Ovitz was also in front of the whole of Hollywood, proving that he was seriously incapable of leading large Hollywood companies, and was dismissed by Disney, and his career went downhill.

The CAA, which lost Michael Ovitz, fell into a chaotic struggle for power, and even had a scandal in which the head of the company committed suicide by jumping off a building, and it was not until 2000 that it gradually regained stability.

Disney Animation Studios lost its most suitable leader, going downhill after the peak of The Lion King, until it sank in the era of computer animation.

Jareif Katzenberg left Disney and had to sit down to build a DreamWorks animation studio.

Walt Disney paid more than $200 million in liquidated damages to remove Michael Owitz from office, during which there were procedural problems, which also became Michael Eisner's lifeline, and Disney shareholders ousted Michael Eisner from office, which was one of the biggest charges.

Ronan knew very well that Jared Katzenberg wouldn't just let Michael Eisner go so lightly.

Will Walt Disney, which is already full of internal contradictions, and a former Disney heavyweight Jared Katzenberg, become even more chaotic?

The chaotic Disney is in Ronan's interests.

Also this weekend, "Shrek 2" was released overseas simultaneously, and the overseas box office can only be described as amazing.

In Australia, the opening weekend box office was $11.23 million, France earned $15.2 million in three days, and Germany opened with $13.24 million.

All of these broke the local record for the opening of animated feature films.

This monster called Shrek is amazingly powerful, and it grossed a staggering $32.01 million in its first weekend in the UK!

"Shrek 2" overseas box office reached $89.27 million in its first weekend.

Movies with spoofs as the main content have never exploded with such a powerful power.

In the film, the spoof is mainly American culture, especially Hollywood culture.

From the environment of the Hollywood area to the characters, the whole film subverts existing values everywhere, creating a fairy tale world that feels both familiar and strange.

The other point is also very good, full of inspiration for the subversive spoof of American or Hollywood culture.

Far Away's parody of Hollywood's Beverly Hills, describing Beverly Hills as a very distant place, exudes a kind of irony, while the shops lining the streets of Far Away are reimagined by directors from the brands that Americans are most familiar with in everyday life, and the effect is witty.

"Shrek 2" proved to the world that there is also a big market for spoof movies.

Well, the Frog Prince, Prince Charming, and the Fairy Godmother are all about to be spoiled by this film.

The subversive freshness that this film brings to the audience is the most important, and it is also the guarantee to keep the film running at a high level.

In its second weekend of release, "Shrek 2" fell only 33 percent at the box office, closing $72.3 million.

Ten days after its release, the North American box office totaled $241.02 million!

All the market records for animated feature films in North America have also become the bag of "Shrek 2".

DreamWorks Animation Studios is the one to profit from this spoof feast, and Embassy Pictures is also a big winner.

Because of the sequel movie, "Shrek 2" has a strong audience base, and the total budget of Embassy Pictures for publicity and distribution is only $50 million.

This is also a typical example of small input and large output.
