Chapter 42: Surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2"

North American film studios have $20 million more on their books, and Xiaobai must invest this money before March 15th!

Otherwise, you would have to pay close to $6 million in taxes...

Most of these 20 million are the DVD share of "Truman's World" and the global box office revenue share, of course, there is also the first batch of revenue of "The Man Behind the Moon"...

Lionsgate treats its own people, or directors with useful value, and is indeed generous enough!

At least nothing can be found on the books!

This is not easy, even Peter Jackson once sued the new line for default!

At that time, Peter Jackson was already one of the top ten directors in Hollywood, and he made the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which can be relied on...

20 million US dollars, it is impossible to keep it in your hands all the time, if it is converted into RMB and flows into the country, you need to pay close to 8 million US dollars in taxes.

Lose your marbles?

Lao Tzu's hard-earned money was handed over to the United States of America for Mao?

So, you have to invest in it...

"One Flew Over the Asylum" has been approved, Lionsgate has invested $40 million, Penguin Pictures has invested $30 million, Bai Xiaofei's studio and Bai Xiaofei himself have invested $10 million, and the first batch of funds has been put in place - it is a co-production, but the filming location is Vancouver, who will let the family refund more?

starring Robert Downey Jr. is paid $12 million, and the heroine finds Gong Li, $1 million...

Don't complain about the imbalance between men and women's salaries, Gong Huang hasn't starred in Lao Mei's movies much in recent years, and the appeal of the box office is slightly equal to zero...

Robert Downey Jr. belongs to the half-sell-half-giveaway, discounted into the group - superheroes all over the world want to transform, and they all have pursuits.

"Flying Madhouse" is obviously going for the awards season, and it has great depth...

In other words, "One Flew Over the Asylum", it is impossible to inject any more funds, so what should I do?

How many more copyrights to buy?

Billy Wilder's "Prosecution Witness" and "The Jade Girl's Romance", Xiaobai wants to adapt it into a Chinese work, and he doesn't want to move...

Then "Heartbeat"!

It just so happens that a movie like "Heartbeat" that promotes early love will be criticized in China...

Of course, the investment in this film will not be very large, and 20 million dollars will almost be able to do it.

……

On January 5th, the fourth weekend of "Kung Fu", there were two opponents, "Painted Skin Prequel" and "Onmyoji"...

The male protagonist of "The Prequel to Painted Skin" is still Chen Kun, and the heroine found Yang Tianbao - it is clear that he will tell all fans directly, be cautious...

The effect is very good, the box office on the first day of release is 80 million, and the word-of-mouth is directly 3.2 points.

"Yang Tianbao's acting skills never disappoint. I beg the producers, the audience just wants to watch Yang Tianbao and Huang Sect Leader act together, okay? Come and arrange it! ”

"Tianbao goes on an expedition, and there is not an inch of land!"

"Teacher Yang, don't laugh, that grin is wider than my eyes and scared me to death..."

Bad reviews on Douban...

If the Douban score does not affect the box office, then the eye-catching score cliff science: 6.6 points...

The consensus of the film market in recent years: that is, a low Douban score (less than 6 points) is basically a bad movie, and a low aiming score (less than 8 points) is doomed to failure at the box office!

This is also the reason why "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" is struggling at the box office and unsatisfactory: "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" has an eye score of 7.4 points...

On the second day of the release of "Painted Skin Prequel", it has basically been put into the cold palace, and the number of films has dropped to 12%, "Onmyoji" still won 30% of the film schedule with the strong power of IP, as for "Kung Fu", the number of films is 22%, after all, it has been released for 24 days.

Xiaobai is still studying the problem of "Heartbeat", on January 6, "Kung Fu" was released for 25 days.

The latest box office data yields: 5.692 billion.

surpassed the No. 1 "Wolf Warrior 2", won the first place in the overall box office list, and set a new record for the box office of mainland films.

Yesterday's single-day box office grew again: a single-day revenue of 250 million...

Immediately responded to the hot discussion in the film and television circle, and Xiaobai's fans exclaimed "powerful", "Xiaobai is mighty", "I have a share of the box office contribution", and the response was very enthusiastic.

As for the industry, in addition to Daohe, they are calculating the possibility of the 'Kung Fu Universe', "Kung Fu" won the box office champion, if the box office of the second part of the series "Killer List" breaks 2 billion, it means that the "Kung Fu Universe" can be engaged!

The official Weibo of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" sent congratulations for the first time: Congratulations to "Kung Fu" on reaching the new record in Chinese film history!

This is also the meaning of relay...

Actually, if you really want to calculate it, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" should be 5.69 billion - it was re-screened once, but unfortunately the audience didn't buy it!

must be explained and loved, the re-screening of "Wolf Warrior 2" is not what Wu Jing meant, it is a screening organized by a single theater of Dadi Cinema Line, the theater chain buys the copyright, and each theater pays a one-time screening fee of 1000 yuan to the theater chain, and the screening box office belongs to the theater and does not participate in the account sharing.

I want to use my feelings to circle again, but unfortunately, the audience doesn't buy it!

Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", the audience is looking forward to "Wolf Warrior 3" more...

"Kung Fu" once again set a new record in mainland film history, attracting the attention and reports of foreign media.

After all, the box office forecast of "Kung Fu" is already as high as 6.2 billion, which is close to $920 million when converted into US dollars!

How much does it cost to make it?

Less than a hundred million dollars...

This ROI is absolutely amazing!

……

For the final box office of "Kung Fu", various experts have commented and speculated.

"General commercial films, the box office in the first week accounts for about 40% of a movie, the box office in two weeks can account for 70%, and the box office in three weeks can account for 90%, and the potential that can be tapped later is not great, but "Kung Fu" is a bit more than we expected, 24 days after its release, it can still earn 250 million, I estimate that there is at least 10% potential to be tapped, then the final box office of "Kung Fu" may be 6.25 billion... A staggering number. ”

"6.25 billion? It's not impossible, "Kung Fu" is a 3D movie, the average ticket price is 35 yuan, 6.25 billion divided by 35, it's just 178 million moviegoers into the theater to watch, last year's number of movies in China exceeded 1.8 billion! ”

"Xiaobai is mighty, finally I don't have to scare Wu Jing anymore..."

The movie broke the box office record, and Xiaobai himself was very excited, but this is North America after all, and "Star Wars 9" is too hanging.

Eight days after its release, it swiped $500 million...

Professional box office forecasting agencies estimate that "Star Wars 9" is likely to become the first film in North American film history to break one billion dollars at the local box office!

The box office of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" hit an unprecedented $930 million at the local box office, which is scary enough - the second place is "Avatar" with 760 million...

"Star Wars 9" continues to refresh again!

Disney's attitude at the press conference has once again returned to its previous arrogance...

The top ten in film history, except for "Avatar", "Titanic", "Jurassic World", and "Batman: The Dark Knight" are affiliated with other companies - no, Twentieth Century Fox, the producer of "Avatar" and "Titanic", has been packaged and sold to Disney...

Damn, in the top ten in film history, Disney occupies eight seats!

Hey, the original ambition to build Huayi and Wanda, which were Disney in the mainland, are now all deflated...
