"King Kong" continues to be popular in North America, and the box office is also very good.

After collecting 66 million US dollars in the first weekend, the drop in 4 working days was less than 50%, and the daily box office was still around 10 million US dollars, which can be said to be quite a good result for a foreign film.

Of course, this is also due to Lin Xiao's already well-known reputation in North America, coupled with the resources of the distributor Dick Group, so that "King Kong" was once touted as the most exciting monster movie of the year.

And "King Kong" does deserve this name, and the box office is the best embodiment.

Starting the following weekend, "Infinite Reincarnation 2" landed in North American theaters.

In fact, Mina Group is not so optimistic about "Infinite Reincarnation 2", and the conditions were once quite harsh, but the box office of "Infinite Reincarnation" in China in the first week still made Mina Group want to gamble.

But the publicity and distribution costs are far less than "King Kong".

Nari?? Ken Xin, no matter how he is, can't compare to Lin Xiao, a famous director who has been successful.

As a result, "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is still unaccustomed in North America, with a first day of 8.2 million, which is already a very good result, but the reputation is a mess.

Many people said that they couldn't understand it at all, and "Infinite Reincarnation 2" directly fell at the box office on the second day in North America, only receiving 6 million!

This is obviously a big gap from the expectations of Tianmeng Film and Television.

On the third day, it continued to fall, and there were less than 5 million left!

The box office of the first weekend in three days combined, it is not as good as the one-day box office of "King Kong", less than 20 million US dollars.

This number is actually not bad, especially for Chinese-language films, but the key is that this box office trend has made the North American box office drop of "Infinite Reincarnation 2" lowered again.

In the end, the total box office in North America will not be able to exceed 50 million!

And you must know that the North American publicity and distribution cost of "Infinite Reincarnation 2" exceeded 10 million US dollars, although this number is really not high, but it is already a movie with a cast like "Infinite Reincarnation 2".

The North American publicity budget of "King Kong" is as high as 25 million US dollars!

There is no way, if you want to have a high box office, you must be willing to invest in publicity, otherwise, even Lin Xiao's movie will not be able to break out.

In comparison, King Kong and Infinite Reincarnation 2 are not at all the same level.

And the performance of "King Kong" in Southeast Asia is also very outstanding, and "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is also very good in Southeast Asia, after all, it is a pan-Chinese cultural circle.

It's just that compared with "King Kong", it is still a little worse, especially in the island country, the box office of "King Kong" can be said to be beating "Infinite Reincarnation 2".

And in fact, the biggest problem with "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is not too Chinese, but Nari?? Kensin, presumably trying to make "Infinite Reincarnation 2" more international, has resulted in a lot of things becoming a bit nondescript.

Many viewers in China said that compared with the first part, it is really not a little worse.

But in any case, "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is indeed a success.

Especially the box office record of the summer file, which can make Tianmeng Film and Television blow for a long time.

Soon, Tianmeng Film and Television announced the reboot of the "Mystery of the World" series of movies, the second "Mystery of the World: Holy Empire".

And the director is none other than Nari?? Kensing.

James?? Qin and Tianmeng Film and Television originally had a contract for one movie left, but in the end, the contract was terminated peacefully.

At the same time, with the release of the box office of "King Kong", many people in China were surprised to find that the original domestic special effects have been able to do this level.

In particular, Aurora Special Effects also directly announced that the special effects technology of "King Kong" has been very mature, and the special effects production software specially customized for "King Kong" has also officially begun to be sold to the public.

For special effects companies, in fact, many special effects are not impossible to make, but a matter of cost.

For example, on the side of the aurora special effects, the cost of making the special effects of "King Kong" is naturally very large, and it can even be said that it is basically not profitable.

But is it really not profitable?

In fact, it is negative, because the accumulation of technology itself is a big profit, and the real money of this kind of thing is still to come.

For example, several special effects production software developed for monster movies like "King Kong" are not one or two, but a complete set of special effects software solutions.

The key is that it is already very mature, and "King Kong" is its success story.

Developing new technologies, especially for a super-big production like King Kong, special effects are naturally key.

The development of this kind of technical software is naturally very expensive, and it can be said that the aurora special effects are raised by Lin Xiao's movies one after another.

And now, if other companies want to give orders for Aurora special effects, Aurora special effects can't be busy at all.

Why? Because, it takes too much manpower.

On the Aurora special effects side, their own orders have been scheduled for a year later, let alone special effects orders from other companies.

Other film companies want to produce this kind of special effects, but at present, only the aurora special effects in China can do it, and they can find foreign special effects companies to produce them, but the price is sky-high.

In fact, where is the biggest cost of special effects?

Is it technology? No, it's human and material resources.

Usually some special effects shots need to be rendered on the render farm for a long time before they can be completed.

And the computers on the rendering farm of the special effects company are not something that can be done by a low-configuration computer, but every computer is a high-end computer.

The second is that these computer hardware needs to be updated every once in a while.

This is the reason why many special effects companies can't stick to it.

Domestic labor is still much cheaper than foreign labor.

Another is the development of new special effects technology, usually not that special effects companies take the initiative to develop special effects, such as aurora special effects, most of the time, it is for example, what requirements Lin Xiao has, and then they develop software according to the effects required by Lin Xiao to achieve such effects.

Eventually, a mature technology was formed, and then it was time to sell special effects production software to the outside world.

That is, selling technology.

Therefore, the aurora special effect, the most profitable thing now is not the production of special effects for movies, but the sale of software!

Don't underestimate this kind of selling software, generally speaking, a special effects software such as natural disasters, not one or two special effects software, but a set of technical solutions.

And the price of these software is not low at all.

A set of software for a solution can sell millions of dollars in a year.

What? Think less? No, not a lot at all, this is just a kind of special effects software, a movie, it is impossible to only use these special effects, right?

Then other special effects also have software with solutions, and at the same time, Aurora special effects are sold not by one or two but by many companies.

The purchase and sale of these software alone in a year can create tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits for the Aurora special effect, and these are pure profits!
