"Titanic" was released for one week, with a total box office of $31 million, and an average of less than $5 million a day, making it one of the worst performing movies during the Christmas period.

Due to poor box office performance, the release scale has shrunk from Wanjia Cinema to 3,000 cinemas, and the attendance rate is still in a tightening trend.

Faced with such achievements, the media that had been sarcastic before became more and more proud, and continued to publish articles and sang the box office of "Titanic".

Some people even don’t want to drink wine, and use the poor box office performance of "Titanic" to attack Xiatian, question his investment vision, and then suppress his prestige in the business world.

Because the box office performance of "Titanic" was indeed unsatisfactory, coupled with the incitement of public opinion, it did cause some trouble to Xia Tian, ​​which made his halo a little dim.

But that's all. After all, "Titanic" has a poor box office performance, but it's just an example. She performed very well before the summer, and it's not a big deal to fail occasionally.

What's more, even if Titanic performs poorly, the loss for him is only 100 million or 200 million US dollars, a drop in the bucket. At the same time, Xia Tian's Lightning Email, Kuaike Chat, Lexiang Reading, Yueyin Online Media, etc., all developed in full swing, and had already made up for the losses of Titanic.

Like Lightning Mailbox, the number of users is now nearly 100 million. Many companies have purchased value-added services provided by Lightning Mailbox, which greatly increased the revenue of Lightning Mailbox. If Lightning Mailbox had not been actively upgrading hardware facilities and investing hugely, the revenue and expenditure would have been able to be balanced long ago.

Kuaike Chat now has more than 100 million users, and the number of online users exceeds one million. The number of information transmitted per second is as high as 200 g, making it one of the most widely used software in the world.

In addition, like Lexiang Reading, Yueyin Online Media, the number of visits has also hit new highs, and the external valuations are also rising steadily. For example, the valuation of Lightning Email has been nearly 8 billion US dollars, exceeding 10 billion in minutes.

Therefore, with such achievements, even if "Titanic" really suffers losses, it will not have much impact in the investment community.

...

Xia Tian felt that it was very nonsense about someone hyping this.

Not to mention that "Titanic" has not been released yet, no one is sure whether the box office will make a comeback in the future. Just say that this movie is just one of the many films that Tianxia Production invests in this year. Even if it really loses, other movies make money. Overall, Tianxia Production is still profitable.

World Production is just one of his many businesses, and he is not at the forefront of so many businesses. Even if the company collapses, it will not affect his overall business situation.

How did those people have the confidence that with the failure of such a movie, they were sure that they would be ruined?! Who gave them the courage, Liang Jingru?!

From this we can see that these people are really out of neglect, so they are so hungry that they can actually use this matter to criticize him.

And summer was not disappointed with the box office performance of "Titanic". The movie "Titanic" itself is a slow-heating type.

In his previous life, its box office performance was not good in the first week, only about 24 million US dollars. Now it can rise to 31 million US dollars, which is a blessing for Xia Tian to personally promote it.

Although its box office was not outstanding at the beginning, the box office became stronger the later it went on. Even after half a year, its attendance rate could still be maintained at more than 30%, which is quite amazing.

When the painting finally came to the scene, it had been released for nine months, winning 1.8 billion US dollars worldwide, setting an all-time box office record.

So summer is not disappointed with the box office performance of "Titanic" and I believe it will definitely create a box office miracle.

...

But not everyone is as confident as him.

Facing such a bleak box office in the movie, James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", found Summer and announced that he would give up his director, screenwriter pay, and the movie box office share.

As the director and screenwriter of "Titanic", James Cameron can also receive a certain proportion of box office dividends according to the contract, in addition to getting a paycheck. It is roughly 8 million US dollars.

Although James Cameron has made several blockbuster movies, it has to be said that eight million dollars is a big sum of money for him.

This is mainly related to his lack of filming. Although he has made several blockbuster movies, such as the "Terminator" series, "The True Lies", "Alien 2", etc., because his production volume is relatively low, it takes several years to produce a work. Although the pay is high, the output is too small, so overall, his net worth is not very high.

Giving up eight million dollars in revenue now is definitely a major loss for him.

And he was willing to give up such a large amount of money because he wanted to be loyal. In fact, Americans are not loyal at all.

He gave up such a large amount of money mainly because he hoped to restore his business value.

Judging from the current box office performance of "Titanic", it is likely to have a crushing box office defeat, causing Tianxia Production to lose more than 100 million US dollars.

If a director causes such a huge loss to a film company, usually he will use up his business credit, and no company dares to ask him to film.

Just like Celjo Leone, who once filmed the Detachment Trilogy, lost a lot of money because of "The Past of America", he was abandoned by Hollywood since then and never made a movie again and ended up in depression.

Hong Kong director Wu Yusen lost a lot of money because of "The Wind Words", and was immediately abandoned by Hollywood and had to return to the Chinese-language film industry to develop.

Although James Cameron has made many blockbuster movies before, "Titanic" has lost too much money. This can easily ruin his directorial path.

So in order to save his career and restore his business value, he could only give up the profits he got so as to improve Xia Tian's perception of him and not beat him to death.

Of course, Xia Tian would not agree to James Cameron's request.

Not to mention that "Titanic" is still being released, the box office has not been finalized yet. Even if history changes and "Titanic" has suffered a serious box office loss, he will not give up on James Cameron.

A failure does not mean anything. No matter how powerful a director is, there are times when box office failures are lost.

Just like Stephen Spielberg, the box office failure of "The Dream of the Giant" made people feel that this old commercial director is old and has no longer suitable for young people's tastes.
