Even if Ryan is the largest shareholder, it is not easy to eat DreamWorks Animation Studios, which involves an acquisition of more than a billion dollars, unlike the previous small holdings, Disney will definitely carefully evaluate and demonstrate, and in addition to preparing the necessary funds, if the resistance is too great, it is even necessary to be prepared for stock exchanges.

Behind every quick-track acquisition, there is a lot of preparatory work.

Naturally, there will be a more professional team to follow up, and specific matters will be discussed in the board meeting at the moment.

As the clock approached July, a month after Sandy's birth, Walt Disney's other blockbuster film, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World, officially landed in theaters worldwide, earning more than $131 million in North America in its first weekend.

Although Roger? Comments such as 'A 168-minute, tedious pirate adventure story in which fans of Pirates of the Caribbean enjoy a seafood feast and wait for half an hour before entering the theater – and even then you won't miss a thing' couldn't stop pirates from looting from the wallets of audiences around the world.

In just seven days of release, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" snatched a full $418.57 million from 102 countries and regions around the world, including North America, setting a new record for the fastest global box office to break $400 million.

Of course, this record doesn't have much practical significance, after all, most films can't achieve such a large-scale simultaneous global release

It's clear that the film's global box office is heading straight for the billion-dollar mark.

The most important thing is that because of the simultaneous shooting of the trilogy, the average cost of a single film is less than $150 million, which is much less than the production cost of $300 million for the third part alone in the previous life, even if "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" has just been released, Disney has made a net profit of nearly $250 million from the box office of this series alone.

Box office receipts are only part of the profits that Pirates of the Caribbean brings. Even before the release of the third part, various peripheral rights and derivatives brought Disney more than $600 million in net revenue, including the addition of the Bay Area to Shanghai Disneyland, which is a follow-up spin-off project of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The series generates a lot of profits for Walt Disney every year, and Disney is not going to end there, and plans for a fourth part are already on the agenda.

However, director Gore? Verbinski and the two lead actors Kayla? Knightley and Orlando? Bloom is sure that he will not appear in the next film, both because of the reason they want to transform and because the price offered is too high and Disney vetoes.

Is it Jack that Walt Disney is currently trying to keep with all its might? Captain Sparrow. But Johnny? Depp's offer is also expensive, and this negotiation is bound to drag on for a long time.

But Ryan is not in a hurry, after the trilogy, the fourth part will be released in a few years, which is undoubtedly the wisest choice, otherwise the continuous bombardment is very likely to lead to aesthetic fatigue.

Besides, Jack? Captain Sparrow can't live without Johnny now? Depp, what about Johnny? Will Depp be able to leave Jack? The role of Sparrow?

Maybe Johnny? Depp believes he has a super appeal. But with relevant memories of his past life, Ryan knows very well that after leaving the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, the audience also does not buy Johnny? Depp's account. Except for the supporting role in "Alice in Wonderland" where you can barely see your face, Johnny? Depp's other films are simply money-losers, and a few of them even incurred huge losses.

Ryan will certainly not forget "Alice in Wonderland", the peak of the transformation of his previous life into a 3D film. Disney Studios has already begun preliminary demonstrations.

Of course, if the film officially starts to be made, it will definitely not be a pseudo-3D film from the previous life.

Speaking of 3D. Although there are very few films that actually use 3D technology to make zuò, many films will use guò post-production technology to release the corresponding 3D version in theaters, even if there is a quality gap between these pseudo-3D and real 3D films, but quite a lot of viewers still buy it.

At the beginning of the new century, Ryan and James? A time-saving and labor-saving 3D film production method developed and promoted by IMAX controlled by Cameron has played a huge role, that is, the ordinary 2D version of the film is directly converted into 3D movies, IMAX's DMR - digital re-recording - technology can even convert ordinary 35mm film into 70mm IMAX3D format, the cost of converting a standard-length film is only about 6 million US dollars, and it only takes about 6 weeks.

This move greatly expands the content source of 3D movies, and Hollywood can "make zuò" a 3D movie in more than a month, but the flaws are also obvious, and the three-dimensional effect of the 3D movie produced in this way is much inferior to that of the 3D movie specially made zuò.

Until the first two years, most of the 3D films on the market were converted through the transcription technology of guò, and even so, 3D and IMAX theaters have made great progress, especially the number of 3D screens in North America, which has increased rapidly from a few hundred at the beginning of the century to more than 2,400.

Among them, a film by IMAX and Warner Bros. played a huge role.

In 2004, the Thanksgiving Christmas file, Warner Bros.'s animated blockbuster "The Polar Express" was officially released. Zemeckis used a lot of IMAX3D technology to shoot the film, its visual effects conversion is absolutely incomparable, the film has achieved a total of nearly 60 million US dollars in more than 80 IMAX theaters around the world, setting a record for IMAX commercial screening, more than 30% of its North American box office revenue comes from IMAX3D, and even caused a hard-to-find grand scene, the charm of 3D movies can be seen.

After "Polar Express", North American theaters have completely seen new revenue growth points, and more than half of the newly added screens in North America in the past two years are 3D screens, including nearly 100 IMAX theaters.

In recent years, Ryan has never relaxed the promotion of 3D and IMAX, and now in North America alone, the number of 3D screens is close to 3,500, and the number of IMAX theaters is close to 170.

Hollywood's producers and distributors need more exciting ways to attract audiences, and cinema operators also need new movie-watching technology as a revenue growth point, which is already a major stake, and has a huge common interest in this regard.

As early as last year's Western Expo, many film companies and theater operators shouted for 3D and IMAX technology, saying that it is the third film technology revolution after sound films and color films, and they optimistically predict that digital 3D movies will be the mainstream of the film industry in the future.

Similarly, how many of Hollywood's biggest directors are James? Cameron, Stephen? Spielberg, Robert? Zemeckis and Michael? Beidu is a fan of digital 3D movies, and the latter three have become the pioneers of physical travel.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" has been raging for two weeks, and at a time when the global box office of the film exceeded $650 million and the growth momentum slowed significantly, "Jurassic Park 3", jointly invested by Disney Pictures and Universal Pictures, and produced at a cost of up to $150 million, officially landed in major theaters in North America.

This is a true 3D movie, and the total length of the footage shot with the IMAX3D camera alone is 30 minutes, which is an absolute visual killer in this day and age.

The film opened in 3,845 theaters in North America, including 2,750 3D screens and 158 IMAX theaters.

The three days of this weekend are completely dinosaur days, and tickets for IMAX theaters are hard to find, even if you retreat to watching the 3D version, movie tickets are also a surging commodity.

Compared to the popularity of 3D and IMAX, the regular 2D version of the table can only be said to be very average, and the first-week attendance rate of most 2D theaters does not even exceed 30%.

"Jurassic Park 3" did not disappoint Disney Studios and Universal Pictures at the box office in its first week, earning $150.12 million at the North American box office in three days, and 3D and IMAX screens contributed nearly 65% of it!

Over the past few years, IMAX has promoted IMAX3D theaters not only in North America, but also in major box office markets around the world, and today there are more than 280 IMAX theaters used for commercial operations worldwide, 90% of which have joined the ranks of screening "Jurassic Park 3".

In addition, more than 4,400 3D screens around the world, including North America, have signed contracts to screen Jurassic Park 3.

Perhaps the situation varies from place to place due to regional differences, but in general, the ticket price of a regular 3D version is twice the price of a regular movie, while the price of IMAX is generally about three times.

Although the number of 3D and IMAX theaters is not as large as it was a few years ago, and there is also a lack of strong 3D films as competitors in this era, "Jurassic Park 3" even if the plot is a little thin, and the structure is like all the films produced by Spielberg in recent years, with the defects of rigid patterns, but for the vast majority of audiences, the dinosaurs that seem to jump off the screen and swallow them at any time are completely worth the ticket price.

In the same seven days, relying on the strong performance in 3D and IMAX, "Jurassic Park 3" received a whopping $445.85 million at the box office from the film market in 93 countries and regions around the world, refreshing the record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" just set by the fastest global box office to break $400 million.

Three days later, ten days after the film's simultaneous global release, the global box office of "Jurassic Park 3" exceeded $500 million, which is also the fastest global box office ever to break the record of $500 million.

Among them, 3D and IMAX contributed a total of more than 365 million US dollars, and the visual effects of the film even sparked a huge wave of discussion around the world. (To be continued......)
