Chapter 602: Disney World (Happy Eleven)
Of course, more Sherlock Holmes players may not be able to find so many friends to play with, so their experience of the game's multiplayer mode is still carried out through the pure Internet.
- In addition, by the year 2000, the Internet in the United States had become quite ubiquitous.
In short, the game quickly gained a wide following as soon as it was released. In just a few days, it reached a million sales at the platinum level.
Although compared to the movie version of "Sherlock Holmes", these sales may be the box office level of about one day at the peak, but unlike the box office revenue, the revenue of the game, the Ghost Party Studio takes the lion's share.
So, from the standpoint of the Ghost Party studio, the game of the same name brings not a lot of revenue.
In particular, the game's sales momentum has not slowed down, and the head of the game section, Stern, even optimistically predicts that the game may reach 10 million sales.
- This is basically equivalent to the total ticket for a blockbuster commercial blockbuster in North America, and it may be more.
- Not Charlotte, of course.
And as a movie shot by Charlotte herself, the results of the movie version of "Sherlock Holmes" are naturally even more exaggerated-
At present, although its North American screening has gradually entered the late stage, it still firmly holds the top spot of the weekly box office list.
Neither Tom Cruise's action blockbuster "Mission Impossible 2" nor Ridley Scott's epic masterpiece "Gladiator" can lift "Sherlock Holmes" off the throne.
- The film dominated the North American box office charts for six weeks.
- And this is still in the summer season with the most fierce competition at the box office.
This made all the distribution companies that released the movie at the same time deeply desperate, but Warner, as the distributor of "Sherlock Holmes", was very happy.
Now, the film has topped $400 million at the North American box office and is hitting the $500 million mark.
"Although it may not reach the level of "Titanic" in previous years, the box office results of "Sherlock Holmes" are also phenomenal!"
In Disney's president's office, Disney's "tyrant" Michael Eisner looked at the box office report of "Sherlock Holmes" in his hand, and sighed with his right-hand man Robert Iger,
In particular, Charlotte Booth is much better than James Cameron, who will burn money, in terms of shooting cost control - the total box office performance of "Sherlock Holmes" may not be as good as "Titanic", but after removing the cost, its producers and distributors may get more revenue than "Big Ship". β
Speaking of this, Michael Eisner frowned,
"Because of the partnership with Spectre Studios or Charlotte Booth, Warner's profits will definitely be very high this year. What's more, at the end of the year, there will be a part of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" that also cooperates with each other will be released. β
"Although Charlotte Booth was not the director of this film, his first "Philosopher's Stone" laid a good foundation for the series, coupled with the growing popularity of the original film around the worldββ"
"Bob, we need a way!"
Eisner called Robert Egger's nickname, but his tone was not intimate at all,
"As the new president of Disney Studios, you need to figure out a way!!"
β......β
Robert Iger was silent and did not speak.
- As a senior executive who entered Disney's headquarters from the ABC television network, which was acquired by Disney, Robert Iger is not an absolute descendant of Disney.
But because Robert Iger played a great role in the process of Disney's integration of ABC, he did become Disney's "own person".
Whether it is President Michael Eisner, or the other members of Disney's board of directors, they all have a lot of trust in him.
This allowed him to successfully triple jump and become the trusted chairman of Disney Studios this year.
- Although at the group level, he is still under the authority of President Michael Eisner, but at this level, he is not without the ability to resist.
Therefore, Robert Iger is a little dissatisfied with the commanding attitude of the "tyrant" Eisner.
But on the one hand, Robert Iger is a very good person in terms of dealing with people.
- Whether facing enemies or friends, he can handle it with a smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
- Even if he will stab the other person to death with a knife in the next moment.
On the other hand, as the person who was promoted by Michael Eisner, Robert Iger did admit the other party's affection.
- At least, he can endure such an offense or two.
In particular, Robert Iger understands that Eisner is indeed right-
As chairman of Disney Studios, he is indeed in charge of the film department within the Disney Group β and he has a responsibility to deal with related issues.
And Charlotte Booth, as the hottest director and producer of commercial films in Hollywood in recent years, how to deal with him is Robert Iger's job.
"There's nothing we can do this year, we should think more about the future!"
There was silence for a long time before Robert Iger responded to Michael Eisner in a calm tone,
"Michael, you should know that just like Steven Spielberg in the late eighties, for such a great director at his peak, cooperation is the most advantageous choice. β
"Cooperation!?"
Michael Eisner shook his head,
"Charlotte Booth is having a great time working with Warners at the moment, will he work with us again?"
"Why not?"
Robert Iger asked rhetorically,
"While it's nice to have a stable partner, there's nothing wrong with having one more partner β and for Charlotte Booth, it's also good for him to fight for more with Warners. β
"And, judging from the previous situation, Charlotte Booth didn't plan to go all the way with Warner - the movie "The Mummy", didn't he choose to cooperate with Universal!"
Speaking of which, Robert Iger said his conclusion,
"So, instead of thinking about how to fight Charlotte Booth, we should think about how to pull him to our side!"
"Okay!"
Michael Eisner nodded.
He admits that Robert Iger has some truth in what he said,
"But, Bob, what about the specific method? Charlotte Booth is still working closely with Warners, especially regarding the long-term partnership agreement for the Harry Potter series......"
"That series could have belonged to Disney!"
Hearing this, Robert Iger sneered in his heart. (https:)
