In Charlotte's original time and space, the last straw that overwhelmed MGM was John Wu's "The Wind Whisperer"-

MGM will invest in this war blockbuster, which costs more than $100 million, and it has the meaning of a big gamble on the verge of death.

But if the movie can be profitable, even if it is not much, MGM will survive for a while, or even come back to life, there is no problem.

However, in the 21st century, since "The True Color of Heroes", which made "Little Pony" famous all over the world, John Wu's film aesthetics, which has always relied on white doves and infinite bullets to make the world, have gradually fallen behind.

This is true on both sides of the Pacific.

It's just that in the American film market, this manifested itself earlier and more obviously......

In short, the same as Charlotte's original time and space, this "Wind Whisperer", which was released in the summer of 2002, is the same loss.

MGM originally gambled to continue his life, and John Wu was blacklisted by major Hollywood studios.

However, the complete collapse of MGM was somewhat unexpected by the other Hollywood Big Six.

- For a large company of MGM's size, people thought it would only die a slow death.

This sudden death disrupted the original plans of many companies-

You must know that because of the previous annexation of United Pictures founded by Chaplin and others, MGM used to be the largest film and television company in Hollywood, with an unusually large film library, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

As soon as it falls now, the exaggerated massive film library and various resource reserves have become a huge cake with infinite temptation.

From the Big Six Hollywood to second- and third-tier film and television companies such as New Line and Lionsgate, they all want to take a bite.

- In this case, everyone involuntarily competed, and some other things that were originally concerned were relatively relaxed.

Of course, this period of time is very short.

- After all, "The Wind Whisperer" was released in early September.

From its poor market feedback, to MGM's admission of the failure of the project, to the news that MGM was going to fail, it was not long ago.

Most of the other film and television companies are also in a state of surprise, and it is difficult to respond in time.

However, Charlotte, as a time-traveler, knows this.

He had long planned to take advantage of MGM's fall, the temporary disorder within Hollywood that was affected by a chain reaction, and fished in troubled waters-

The acquisition of other small companies and the formation of a North American distribution network are the most critical steps in this.

- Now he has succeeded.

It's just that it's hard to say whether this kind of creation out of nothing and the formation of an overly rapid distribution network is really possible.

Therefore, as the first film released by the Ghost Party Studio, the movie "Death is Coming" will attract the attention of major film companies.

David Heyman, as the producer in charge of the "Harry Potter" series on the Warner side, will come to the premiere of this horror film, and also has the meaning of taking the opportunity to observe -

If the release of "The Grim Reaper" fails, it is fine, if it succeeds, it means that the Ghost Party studio has become one of the best in Hollywood's second-tier film and television companies.

- After all, being able to release money-making films, coupled with a perverted director like Charlotte who never misses, is nothing more than DreamWorks, which is regarded as the enemy of the Big Six in Hollywood.

Of course, this is not to say that once "The Grim Reaper" is successfully released, the Hollywood Big Six will suppress the Ghost Party studio as a mortal enemy.

This largely depends on the business policy of the Ghost Party Studio after that-

If Charlotte, a super director, is still willing to cooperate with the six Hollywood companies in the future, hello, hello, everyone, the six don't mind that Hollywood has another second-tier film and television company;

But if the Ghost Party Studio is as aggressive as DreamWorks, looking like it is ready to replace the Big Six, then the Six Nature is not so easy to talk about.

However, the premise of all this is that the release of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" can be successful......

"So far, it seems that Charlotte Booth has picked another good movie!"

Looking at the movie being screened, Philip Bierman muttered to himself.

- Since Warner Bros., who has worked with Charlotte many times, can shoot David to see the situation, Disney, which is also working with Ghost Party Studios on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, naturally cannot be left behind.

No, Philip Bierman is here too.

However, because of the box office explosion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the relationship between Disney and Spectre Studios is currently in the honeymoon period, and they don't have any other ideas.

- It can be said that Philip Bierman's mentality at this time is closer to that of the melon-eating masses.

He is more concerned about some technical issues -

"This "Death is Coming" is indeed a bit interesting, but in terms of publicity, it is not high-profile!"

Philip Bierman, based on his own experience in distributing films at Disney, felt that there was something wrong with the distribution method of Ghost Party Studios.

"If the film can be publicized in the newspapers and television before it is released – such as the strange cases of people who escaped a catastrophe and then died for other reasons – it will definitely make the audience feel more curious and pay more attention to the film......

Philip Bierman feels that as a small-budget horror movie, it may not be difficult for "The Grim Reaper to Come" to be successful at the box office, but the current distribution plan of Ghost Party Studios has not tapped its potential.

And yet—

"$11 million in the first week!?"

A few days later, seeing the box office report of "The Grim Reaper", Philip Bierman felt that he had miscalculated-

$21 million, if it is the first-week box office of a commercial blockbuster, it is not an exaggeration to say that it hit the streets;

However, as far as Philip knows, the production cost of the movie "Death is Coming" should be more than 10 million US dollars.

Even if the Ghost Party Studio invests a lot in publicity and distribution, it is estimated that the total cost will hardly exceed 30 million.

What does this mean?

It means that "The Grim Reaper" may be released for two to three weeks, or at most about a month, and it will be able to recoup its cost through the North American box office.

You know, these R-rated small and medium-budget horror films don't need to be very high at the box office in many cases - they make money from offline DVDs and videos.

And now that "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has done quite well at the box office, the Ghost Party Studios will definitely make money producing and distributing this movie.

And the profit ratio will be very good!

"Why is this happening?"

Philip Bierman was puzzled.

However, he quickly reacted that studying this kind of distribution technology problem was not the most important thing he should do at this time-

"Although the Ghost Party Studios has a distribution channel in North America, they still can't do anything about the overseas market - I have to hurry up and grab the overseas distribution rights of the movie "The Grim Reaper"!"
