Chapter 50 Overseas Distribution Rights

"Saw Horror won the championship again, earning $13.85 million at the box office in the last four days of the summer season, winning the first weekly box office title......

"The dark horse of the summer season continues to show its power, and the cumulative box office has exceeded $30 million, which is close to the estimated $50 million box office. ”

Yes, many media and investigative agencies believe that the box office of "Chainsaw" will be around $50 million.

is almost the same as the box office results achieved by "Saw Horror" in the previous life.

Even so, Ryan and Fox Searchlight Pictures will still usher in a feast of countless dollars.

Even with only $50 million at the box office, Ryan can still earn tens of millions of dollars.

This is not counting the distribution rights of offline videotapes, the first round of broadcast rights of TV stations, etc., and the income from peripheral copyrights is sometimes higher than the box office revenue.

However, some people rejoice, and naturally some people are sad.

As one of the managers of the distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox, Colette Singh

At this time, I can't wait to throw the newspaper on the table into the trash.

"Saw was supposed to be mine, damn Nancy Utley with Fox Searchlight Pictures. ”

When it comes to Nancy Utley and Fox Searchlight Pictures, he grits his teeth and wants to go wild.

If it weren't for Nancy Ertley's involvement, as well as the Fox Searchlight Pictures, which has not yet been officially listed, "Saw Horror" would have been in his pocket.

But he can't retaliate, or even show his dissatisfaction, Fox Searchlight Pictures is not only a wholly-owned subsidiary of Twentieth Century Fox, but also has the support of the new CEO Tom Rothman, which must not be underestimated.

What annoys him the most is that Fox Searchlight Pictures is now an empty shell, and almost all the things about the distribution and promotion of "Chainsaw" are done by the distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox.

Even, he had just finished contacting the printing company and temporarily printed another 500 copies of the film.

Let's put it this way, these few days have been the darkest moment in his life for Camelot Singh, and I can't wait to curse "Chainsaw" on the streets.

In this way, he has an excuse for Nancy Utley and Fox Searchlight Pictures to be a company on paper forever.

However, the facts in front of him tell him that the box office of "Saw Horror" may not be as good as "Blair the Witch", but it is still very dazzling, and the final box office is definitely more than $50 million.

Moreover, with what he knew about the young director, "Saw Horror" was definitely not the end, maybe just the beginning.

Next, there will be a series of "Chainsaw".

"Maybe I should meet Ryan Gosling. Camelot-Singh calmed down and couldn't help but want to meet Ryan.

Nancy Utley and Fox Searchlight Pictures only have North American distribution channels, and they also use Twentieth Century Fox channels, and there is no global distribution network at all.

In fact, Twentieth Century Fox executives never thought of having Fox Searchlight Pictures establish a global distribution division.

In other words, the overseas distribution rights of "Saw Horror" are still in Ryan's hands, which is not a small piece of cake, and Camelot Singer naturally can't be indifferent.

Such a colleague, and another person had surprise, anger, and disbelief on his face.

Michael Ovitz, the controller of CAA, had a cold face, glanced at the group of people below, and finally landed on one person.

"Since the creation of CAA, there has never been such a major mistake, first missing out on "Blair the Witch" and then missing out on the hit "Saw Horror", can any of you tell me why this happened!"

Under his stern gaze, everyone did not dare to speak at all.

"Kate, I need you to tell me why I kicked Ryan Gosling out of the company!"

"I need you to give me a reasonable explanation. ”

Michael Ovitz was angry not only at the loss of two films, but at the fact that something that was already at his fingertips was kicked out.

He had been looking for the right project to promote the package, and since then he has completely changed his identity and become a member of the upper reaches of Hollywood's links.

The most critical success or failure of a package service lies in a director who can continue to succeed.

However, such a plan, which has not yet been implemented, has been sabotaged, and it is still a member of the CAA.

Faced with the sudden anger, Kate couldn't believe her ears.

"Blair the Witch", the North American box office exceeded 100 million, and the global box office reached more than 200 million US dollars.

"Chainsaw", which was released for just over a week, has achieved tens of millions of dollars at the box office, and it is conceivable that there will be more box office in the future.

However, one of the young directors who achieved such results was Ryan Gosling, whom he kicked away a few months ago, a name he had long forgotten.

The guy who was good for nothing and could only be delusional, and even the little man who was kicked out of the crew, turned into a hot director in Hollywood.

"I don't care what you do, I have to get Ryan Gosling back, remember it's a must. ”

"Otherwise, you're going to get me out of CAA, no, it's supposed to be out of Hollywood, I don't want to see you idiot again. ”

"Just because you're an idiot, you don't know how much damage you've brought to the company!" Michael Ovitz almost vented his anger in his heart.

In fact, as soon as he got the news, he wanted to strangle Kate to death, and even had the idea of blocking "Chainsaw".

However, such an irrational idea is only a fleeting moment, "Chainsaw" is the first film released by Fox Searchlight Pictures, once it tears its face, then Twentieth Century Fox, which stands behind Fox Searchlight Pictures, has to go crazy.

For a while, he didn't even know how to get out of the conference room, and his expression was in a trance, and it wasn't until this time that he slowly reacted, and it seemed that he had already deleted Ryan Gosling's contact information.

"Michael Ovitz!"

"Damn old bastard, I'm going to have to give you a good look sooner or later. ”

"And that Ryan Gosling, who just shit luck. ”

As for how to contact Ryan Gosling, he had no clue and could only pray to God.

With the passage of time and the advent of autumn, the box office of "Saw Horror" will inevitably decline, even if the theater company repeatedly increases the number of screens released, it is still difficult to change the status quo.

If the spring file is the off-season for the North American box office, then the autumn file is a harsh winter.

It is true that the spring file is an off-season at the box office, but there are often commercial blockbusters released, and almost every few years, there will be a film that breaks 100 million in North America.

The autumn file is completely different, there has never been a commercial blockbuster, and the box office of more than 100 million is an unattainable number.
