If "Thor" fails completely, Kevin Feige, as the CEO of Marvel Studios and the filmmaker, will definitely be the first to be responsible, this kind of thing is very clear to everyone, but no one says it casually, after all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Marvel superhero movie and "Iron Man" can have today's glory, Kevin Feige is indispensable.

Stan Lee didn't finish speaking, and pointed to Kevin Feige and said, "When Murphy Stanton wanted to cooperate with Marvel, you rejected him because of some personal grudges, if he can join Marvel ......"

"What if he joins Marvel?" Kevin Firth directly interrupted him, "Are Marvel superhero movies going to go the dark route and become as bitter as Superman or Chris Dane?" ”

"That's good, too! Very marketable! "Stan Lee is old, but his heart is not old," our Marvel heroes are not without depth! ”

Everyone here knows that what Stan Lee said is not unreasonable, many of Marvel's superheroes have a black style in the comics, especially the Civil War released a few years ago, if the movie version takes the route of black and deep, it will definitely be charming.

"Enough!"

Avi Arad, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but interrupt the argument between Stan Lee and Kevin Feige, "We're going to solve the problem now, not create it!" ”

He, the CEO of Marvel's comics, certainly won't watch Marvel's top brass fall apart because of Murphy Stanton's infighting.

Avi Arad still has some prestige, temporarily suppressing the feud between Kevin Feige and Stan Lee.

Then, Avi Arad changed the subject, "Let's not just focus on North America, "Thor" is still performing very well in overseas markets. ”

Due to the good foundation laid in front, "Thor" is not temporarily released in North America like "Chaos City", but landed in a number of overseas markets last week, and beat "Fast and Furious 5" to win the box office championship in overseas markets except North America.

Avi Arad's words temporarily diverted the attention of most people, and many people turned over the information in front of them to pay attention to the overseas box office situation of "Thor".

In the British Isles, "Thor" grossed nearly $9 million after five days of screening; Among the 579 theaters in France, it received $6.1 million at the box office; South Korea's 513 theaters earned $4.7 million; 455 cinemas in Italy earned $3.5 million; 377 theaters in Spain grossed $4 million.

In addition to important markets such as Europe and the Far East, "Thor" also refreshed the top box office in some smaller markets, such as Singapore, the Philippines, etc., such as "Thor" in Taiwan, which earned $2.1 million; In Vietnam, 19 theaters earned $308,000, setting a box office record for a Marvel superhero movie to be released in Vietnam in three days.

In addition, in Australia, where "Thor" was first released, the screening has entered its second week, and it still received $2.3 million at the box office in 226 theaters, reaching 42% of the previous week, and the cumulative box office has approached the $10 million mark.

So far, "Thor" has won $63 million at the box office in overseas markets, and the global box office has successfully exceeded $100 million.

Such a global box office result also made many people in the conference room think that the overall market response of "Thor" is still very good.

However, Kevin Feige doesn't think so, now "Chaos City" has not been released overseas, according to the news from Twentieth Century Fox, this film will land in overseas markets on a large scale this weekend, and then "Thor" will definitely be impacted, how much can the overseas box office accumulate in the future?

He knows very well that in the current situation, the film "Thor" will definitely not be able to recover its costs.

It's just that, it doesn't matter, after all, this is a film that paved the way for "The Avengers", and Marvel Studios has made enough money on the two "Iron Man", Kevin Feige's biggest worry is that the reputation and box office of "Thor" are too poor, which will inevitably drag down "The Avengers" released next year.

If "The Avengers" does not live up to expectations, he, the CEO of Marvel Studios, has only one way to go.

Now we can only hope that "Captain America: Avengers", which will be released at the end of the year, can save the reputation of some Marvel superheroes.

Although it was only a weekend, he had to admit that under the backdrop of Murphy Stanton's "City of Chaos", "Thor" was not only not a success, but could even be said to be a failure.

Also on Monday, the mood inside Twentieth Century Fox was very different.

"It was a smart choice to put Murphy's film at the beginning of the summer."

Although there is no good start in North America, the first film released in the summer season won the top spot at the box office with more than expected results, and the executives of Twentieth Century Fox still rejoiced, "Kara, this time is doing a good job." ”

The person who spoke was James Murdoch, the new co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

Carla Firth smiled but didn't say much, the two used to be classmates in high school.

In fact, she knew that James Murdoch had chosen to come to Twentieth Century Fox because he had been in trouble in England.

James Murdoch is ambitious and is also seen as the most suitable successor to Rupert Murdoch, and he supports his former high school classmate Carla Firth and lays the foundation for his future at Twentieth Century Fox.

Although he was previously the CEO of Sky TV, James Murdoch has been eyeing Twentieth Century Fox, and after graduating from high school, he chose journalism and business administration to study film and literature in order to be able to join Twentieth Century Fox.

When it comes to Hollywood's film industry, James Murdoch isn't exactly a layman either.

"Kara, you're friends with Murphy." James Murdoch asked, "When does he plan to shoot the second installment of 'Chaos City'?" ”

Twentieth Century Fox invested a huge amount of $300 million in the production and promotion of "City of Chaos", and unless a single film is unusually strong at the box office and finally gets a big hit, it may be difficult to recoup the investment in a short period of time, and as the company's CEO, James Murdoch must consider the issue of return on investment.

Carla Firth shook her head, "I don't know, he didn't say that." ”

James Murdoch frowned, "You didn't ask?" ”

"Nope." Carla Firth said directly, "If Murphy wants to tell me, he will naturally say it." ”

"Oh?" James Franco doesn't quite understand the way Carla Firth and Murphy get along.

"Follow Murphy's personality and way of working."

Although they are good friends, James Murdoch is the boss of all things, and Carla Firth explains, "After 'City of Chaos,' he will soon be planning the next movie." ”

She looked at James Murdoch, "Still, it shouldn't be the next part of 'City of Chaos,' and I've heard Robert Downey Jr. mention that he has an agreement with a friend to make a gangster movie in the biographical genre." ”

"A biopic of the gangster genre?" Although James Murdoch has just taken office, he also knows enough to say directly, "No matter what, I only have one request, Twentieth Century Fox is still the producer and distributor of this film!" ”

"I don't guarantee that the next film will definitely be this." Carla Firth actually knew that Gal Gadot was very opposed to Murphy making that biopic of Ross, and Gal Gadot was arguably the only person in the world who could make Murphy change what he had decided, she thought for a moment and said, "As long as our conditions are not worse than other companies, Murphy will definitely be inclined to continue working with Twentieth Century Fox." ”

James Murdoch nodded slightly, this aspect is not a problem, they have always placed a high value on people who can create outstanding value.

Thinking of this, James Murdoch asked, "I've not been here for a long time, but I have learned a little bit about it, Twentieth Century Fox and Murphy's Stanton Studios have cooperated on a number of projects, Game of Thrones continues to work together, and there are some collaborative projects, the rights are in the hands of both companies at the same time." ”

Carla Firth looked sideways at James Murdoch and vaguely guessed what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, James Murdoch tentatively asked, "If Twentieth Century Fox buys Stanton Studios, is Murphy willing to sell it?" ”

"I'm afraid it's hard." Carla Firth told the truth, "Murphy isn't short of money. ”

She knows a lot about this aspect, not to mention Murphy's director's salary and high percentage of dividends, in 2008, when Hollywood was short of money caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, he invested in several films, and now films such as "Transformers" have been released one after another, leading him to high returns.

If you don't count the property inherited in the future, in terms of your current personal net worth, James Murdoch may not be as good as Murphy.

James Murdoch understood that even if he wanted to buy, he couldn't rush and said, "Let's talk about this later." ”

Carla Firth didn't say anything more, but she knew very well that it was unlikely that Murphy would sell Stanton Studios, a film and television production company that could only be described as a shell company until now, not only cooperating with companies such as Twentieth Century Fox to produce movies and TV series, but also undertaking many jobs such as Murphy's tax exemption and tax avoidance, and if you throw away and get another one, it would be too much trouble for someone like Murphy.

After pacing back and forth in the office, James Murdoch added, "You give me Murphy's contact information, I'll have a party in a while, and I'll invite him personally." ”

Now that he's in Los Angeles, he's sure to take care of his network.

Carla Firth left Murphy's personal contact information and then left James Murdoch's office to continue her busy work on the promotion of "City of Chaos," which couldn't afford to relax if it wanted to do well at the box office on weekdays. (To be continued.) )
