Chapter 359: Reckoning

1/16/08. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Saw 2", which was released for three weeks and two weeks in Europe, continued to cut nearly 300 million yuan in the third week after nearly 800 million yuan in the first two weeks, and its total box office reached nearly 1.1 billion.

Among them, this week, Europe has contributed the most in two weeks.

Three weeks later, China, Asia, North America and other places have passed the popular period.

However, three weeks later, in Chinese mainland, "Saw 2" broke the mainland NC record of "Saw 1" with a box office of nearly 60 million.

Drama professionals predict that "Saw 2" is expected to reach nearly 80 million box office, which will far exceed the first part.

This is the first accumulated fame, and it is also the general trend of Chinese films to continue to rise.

You don't see, it's very simple to break 100 million at the box office in a single day a few years later. Like the outrageous star master's "Mermaid", the daily box office has maintained more than 200 million yuan for two consecutive weeks and 14 days, and more than 300 million in a single day when it is high.

And now 08 years......

There is such a gap between the first half of the year and the second half of the year alone, and the rise of China's box office is already a general trend.

During this period, after the box office of nearly 9 million on the first day, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was released for four days, also scored a lot in the next three days, and won 21 million in the first four days of release.

However, it was not as beautiful as the first day. It is expected that the total box office in the inland will reach 80 million to 100 million. With the addition of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Asia, it will reach 150 million yuan.

In this way, "Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark Bear Soldier" has earned a lot, with a production cost of 20 million.

According to the box office of 150 million and the 35% share (Asian equivalent), the income will reach 53 million, and the cost of going out is 20 million, and the net income will be more than 32 million, not to mention the distribution of the periphery.

In addition, even if this part doesn't make money, Wang Meng doesn't care, it's a temptation, and it's good to make money now.

The reason why it has today's scenery is mainly due to DreamWorks' reputation in Asia, which has led to many places selling out, and being able to release and distribute in other countries, DreamWorks' reputation is also very important.

And "Crazy Racing" has officially been drawn, with a total box office of 104 million yuan in the mainland, and a total box office of 133 million yuan in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

As for Asia, Europe and the United States and other regions, it is obvious that they do not buy this kind of film with a pure Chinese taste.

And Wang Meng didn't ask for a release, it's stupid to squander his reputation excessively.

Instead of coming up with a movie that is popular all over the world, even if there are not many such movies; It's better than getting a foreign release no matter how good or bad it is.

It can take a long time for the audience to like a company or brand; And to hate a company or brand, it doesn't take long for a movie to be enough.

Instead of that, it's better to earn less and keep the popularity all the time.

……

Roughly calculated, "Saw 2", "Crazy Racing" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" are three movies.

"Saw 2" is expected to reach a global box office of 1.4 billion, and according to the 30% share ratio, it can get 420 million gross revenue for DreamWorks, that is, a box office of 55 million US dollars. Subtracting the cost of 11 million, you can still get an income of 44 million US dollars, which is equivalent to a net income of 340 million yuan, and if you add the surrounding area, you can get at least 500 million net income.

As I said before, NC-rated, especially horror films, peripheral DVD releases will be the big head, sometimes even more than the box office. What's more, some movies are just for DVD release, and they don't care about the box office.

Don't look at the peripheral income of 170 million yuan, this is still calculated according to the periphery of one year, and the peripherals of this kind of movie will continue to recover some funds every year for many years to come.

"Crazy Racing" invested 10 million and had a box office of 133 million, and because there was no foreign share to pull down, DreamWorks would get nearly 43% of the share. In this way, with a box office of 133 million, the gross income will reach a box office of 57 million, minus the cost of 10 million, minus the 5 million for copy publicity, and a net income of 42 million.

Coupled with the estimated net income of 32 million yuan from "Raiders of the Lost Ark", these three films will bring 574 million yuan to DreamWorks, and if you add the peripherals of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Crazy Racing", it will reach 600 million yuan.

600 million yuan, equivalent to 78.4 million US dollars.

And the upcoming "Butterfly Effect", which has been filmed and is about to be released, and "Step by Step", which has been filmed more than half, will also get a lot of income for DreamWorks in the next six months.

However, the receipt of more than $70 million in the next two months will make DreamWorks, which has set up three works of "Kung Fu Panda", "The Matrix" and "Twilight", breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, the reason why the capital turnover remains unchanged is that it is talking about working capital, at least its subsidiaries have a lot of foundations, take Marvel as an example, it is very rich here.

After a year and a half of investment period, Dream Chasing Video has also begun to make a profit. Dream Media, also after a long period of acquisition, also accounted for it.

As for the dream special effects, which is even more bizarre, speaking of which "Raiders of the Lost Ark" invested 20 million, and 20 million is actually the dream special effects. Excluding costs and employees' salaries, it is certain to earn in half. However, due to the recent expansion of the scale and the establishment of the "Kung Fu Panda" project, the headquarters of this money has not moved.

A little deeper? Although "Kung Fu Panda" has a lot of investment, it will also make a lot of money from the special effects of the dream.

Although the wealth of the subsidiary is supervised and approved by the headquarters, the headquarters will not withdraw it without reason.

The person in charge is independent of funds, unless the board of directors of the headquarters is transferred.

Moreover, ...... 37 million filming cost of "Twilight", the headquarters only took out a nominal investment of 17 million (1000) dollars.

The rest is $20 million (1500) at the top.

The good thing is the co-production, and the bad thing is that when the box office is shared, 45% of the share ratio in North America is shared with the theater company.

Production/production/distribution is also the peak, all in all, it is reasonable to make more money.

Therefore, DreamWorks headquarters does not invest much in "Twilight", and the majority is still "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Matrix"

But! Whether these two films will be co-produced with the summit or in order to earn more shares, the distribution in North America and Europe is the battlefield of DreamWorks Summit.

Asian Distribution is the base of DreamWorks headquarters.

In addition, because Wang Meng agreed to Huayi's investment, Huayi invested at least $70 million in "The Matrix", and Huayi invested at least $10 million.

It is also to maximize domestic distribution, such a blockbuster, the larger the distribution scale, the better.

Even Rob of Summit Entertainment suggested that it would be better to bring in a few more top Hollywood giants to shoot in a joint venture.

However, Wang Meng refused, he was already very distressed, and it was impossible for someone to join.

Although in this way, it is possible that the box office revenue will be reduced.

But! Presumably, after passing "Twilight", the summit will enhance its distribution ability, which is barely acceptable.

Besides, you don't need to invest in top Hollywood companies, but you can pull them to publish!? It's a big deal that when the time comes, some distribution expenses will be at least much less than the money invested in the box office, and I can't feel distressed.

Wang Meng, Rob and others studied for a long time before they came up with such a plan to maximize the benefits, which can be described as painstaking.

In general, the company is still small and lacks capacity.

So there is a long way to go, and it would be good to work hard for a year or two.
