The box office of a film not only depends on film factors such as quality and publicity, but other off-site factors will also have a profound impact, the most typical is the source of the film, such as films from Europe and Asia, even if the quality and publicity are passed, but 99% of the time, North American audiences will still not buy it.

After reading the information of competitors in the same period, Wang Jie found that most of the films screened during this time period are family carnival films produced by some second- and third-tier small film companies, and there is no competitiveness at all.

Although there are some of the old labels in history, neither the ability nor the publicity and distribution channels can be compared with the eight major labels, and the distribution is by no means the ability to have the distribution authority and distribution ability to win the same scale of cinemas in North America with the same production of films, especially in the extremely competitive Christmas file!

One thing that no one can deny is that Hollywood is a circle of giants who can cooperate and compete with each other, but never allow new entrants to rush to the same level.

DreamWorks Pictures in the original time and space is the focus of the restriction, and this Christmas file, Fox Films has won a total of 2,512 theaters for "Brave Island".

The gap in the number of theaters brings about the gap in the box office!

The giants have a variety of methods to encircle and suppress the newly rising companies, and the distribution channel can be said to be one of the simplest, most brutal, most direct and most effective ways, just like the original time and space against DreamWorks, there are not enough distribution channels, and no matter how strong as Spielberg and Jereif Katzenberg can produce high-quality content, they can't save the fate of DreamWorks.

Not to mention that it is a pipe dream to acquire a distribution company and distribute a film on a large scale in North America and around the world!

Katzenberg and Spielberg have been deeply rooted in Hollywood for more than 20 years, and their own abilities and capital are strong enough, but they still can't do this, can those who have been in Hollywood for a few years do it?

"Brave Death Island", like all successful films, easily stood out from the not-so-intense Christmas schedule, and continued to hit the new box office, although with the growth of the showtime, the box office figures have risen, and the film critics who never belong to the market and the public have become more and more aggressive in attacking the film, and the professional score has even been reduced to about 7 points, but it has been maintained at more than 80% of the audience's A-level praise rate, which is enough to ensure that the film continues to harvest every dollar from the theater.

While Nicolas Cage and other cast and crew made their way through cities such as Philadelphia, Atlanta and Nashville and finally stopped in Miami to end their entire North American journey, "Death Island" also spent its third weekend in North American theaters and earned $14.39 million at the weekend box office.

Although it unsurprisingly slipped to the second place in the box office list, with the cumulative of $11.22 million in the first four working days, the total box office in North America reached $104.5 million!

The North American box office of the film successfully exceeded 100 million!

"Brave Island" also landed in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia in the third weekend of its release in North America, three English-speaking countries, which are all one of the five English-speaking friend areas, and the market response of films that are generally sold in North America will not be bad.

The weekend box office figures of $6.2 million in the United Kingdom, $3.5 million in Australia, and $780,000 in New Zealand have successfully occupied the top spot in the local box office charts.

This 10 million dollars does not seem like too much, but now that Eastern Europe has undergone drastic changes and the collapse of the Soviet Union, most countries and regions in the world have opened their doors to Hollywood, except for romance films and poop comedies with distinctive North American characteristics, and super-selling movies such as action movies and science fiction films, the final overseas box office can completely crush the North American box office, and some can reach 1.5 times or even two times.

However, in this era, the exchange of information is not smooth, few films can be released globally simultaneously, and most overseas regions often have to end the screening three months to half a year or even a year after North America is down, and the overseas box office is very troublesome, and it is normal to not get a box office account for a long time.

Because of Wang Jie's casual habits, he always stayed in Los Angeles during the film screening, and this Christmas, he felt that the City of Angels was exceptionally beautiful.

This Christmas, in addition to Wang Jie and his family, a truck driver broke into William's Manor.

"William, I've done all the expeditions about the Titanic, this movie should be on the project, right?" Cameron asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.

"Absolutely. Wang Jie looked at the tyrant on the set with amusement and said: "I will allocate 200 million US dollars in advance to rebuild the Titanic, and you will have to supervise the whole process of this matter, and at the same time start to order all the relevant tableware, tables, chairs and other items on the Titanic." ”

The original version of "Titanic" only spent tens of millions of dollars to build half of the big ship model, and later it was synthesized using computer technology, but Wang Jie was not ready to do so, since he knew that the profit brought by the big ship was so huge, he was a super rich man at home, why couldn't he make things more perfect? And the big ship can make a lot of money after turning 3D, just as a mobile sightseeing water park cruising the world, you can earn back half of the cost of shipbuilding.

The truck driver was already numb to Wang Jie's magnanimity, "How much will the shooting cost?" asked James Cameron nervously.

"I expect about $300 million. Wang Jie said lightly, in fact, Wang Jie estimated that the cost of shipbuilding would be 350 million US dollars, and it was estimated that it would cost more than 400 million US dollars to complete the filming and production, but he did not dare to expose the bottom line of the cost, because the director in front of him was the director with the most bottomless money in the entire Hollywood.

In the previous life, "Jurassic Park" changed the pattern of the entire world film industry, European films further slipped into the abyss, and another world-class film factory, Xiangjiang Films, began to collapse, and when the Titanic sailed out of the port of Southampton, Xiangjiang Films could only decline.

Of course, even without "Jurassic Park", under the continuous impact of Hollywood blockbusters, Xiangjiang films will still decline, in the context of large investment, large production and rapid changes in film technology, the existence of geographical restrictions, too narrow audiences and many other factors make the collapse of Xiangjiang films inevitable.

If they want to change this situation, they can only open up the market in the north, but unfortunately, the Xiangjiang movies in this era, like Hollywood movies, are restricted foreign products for the north.

In the previous life, if it weren't for Hong Kong films going north, Xiangjiang films would have become even more declining. The funny thing is that Xiangjiang filmmakers are also famous for their various discrimination against the Chinese mainland, this time and space, because under the influence of Wang Jie, the cooperation between Xiangjiang DreamWorks and various film studios in China is very close and diverse, plus Wang Jie has the largest cinema chain in Huaxia, and the insiders of Xiangjiang DreamWorks are very close to the Chinese mainland, such as Cheng Long, Zhou Yanfa, Zhou Xingchi, etc. have all studied in Nortel and Chinese opera, and Zhang Guorong and Mui Yanfang are relevant students who graduated from Huaxia.

"What about the actors?" Cameron asked excitedly.

"You'll know when the time comes, and you won't be disappointed. Wang Jie said mysteriously.
