The big sale of two movies in June is undoubtedly good news for Relativity Entertainment, especially "Teddy Bear", which is an unexpected surprise in the eyes of many people.

The male protagonist James Franco, who is determined to go on the line of shit and peeing, has worked with Seth Logan several times with Shahai Entertainment, launched a new project, hoping to adapt the famous TV series "The Dragon and Tiger Team" of the 1980s and make it a comedy movie.

The two of them are directed by Seth Logan and then co-starred by Seth Logan and James Franco.

"The Dragon and Tiger Team" was quite famous back then and was also a famous work by Johnny Depp.

The project plan was quickly transferred to Ronan's office, who was optimistic about Seth Logan and James Franco.

Not to mention the memories of the past, Seth Logan and James Franco have worked with Shahai Entertainment in recent years and have achieved remarkable commercial results in comedy movies.

But this project has the biggest problem. As an old work, "Dragon and Tiger Young Team" must involve copyright issues.

Ronan asked Connie to check it out. The copyright of "Dragon and Tiger Team" is currently in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures. If this project is to be established, the first thing to do is to solve the copyright issue.

Sony Columbia Pictures is a relatively good relationship among the six major Hollywood entertainment companies, and there is some hope of getting the copyright.

Ronan called Robert Lee and asked him to discuss with James Franco and Seth Logan to try to buy the adaptation rights from Sony Columbia Pictures.

If it really doesn't work, just recreate the script, but this is the option to go back.

If you have copyright, it is "The Dragon and Tiger Young Team", which is an adaptation of the popular drama of that year, and naturally has an audience base.

If there is no copyright, it is an original work.

Like the Batman movie series, it is also acceptable to invest in filming with Sony Columbia Pictures.

At the beginning of this month, Relativity Entertainment reached an agreement with Warner Bros., and obtained the copyright of the remake of "The Joker" and "The Birth of a Star", as well as the copyright of the film and television adaptation of "Suicide Squad".

Since the copyright is obtained, it must not be wasted.

There is no need to worry about "Suicide Squad" and "The Birth of a Star", it is not too late to prepare for it in a few years.

As a typical horror film, "The Joker's Shock", you can start planning now.

The original work of the movie is Stephen King, which was bought out by Warner Bros. as early as the late 1980s. It was directed by Tommy Lee Wallace in 1991 and became a movie.

It is basically the same as the main line of the movie. It tells the story of a strange person who looks like a clown inexplicably appeared in a small American town. His appearance did not bring joy to people, but instead intimidated children everywhere, even brought terrifying bad luck or caused death to them. The protagonists defeated the clown, but many years later, the evil clown reappeared in the town to harm the world. The grown-up friends need to work together to fight against evil.

This movie is different from the one Ronan has seen in his memory, telling the story of the protagonists fighting the horror clown from teenagers to adulthood.

The one that Ronan has watched ended when his friends defeated the Joker when they were young, and the content of the subsequent growth and adulthood was divided into a sequel.

This may make the content of the two videos more fulfilling.

The key point is that if both movies can be successful, the commercial benefits will be far more than one movie.

Therefore, Ronan did not hesitate at all and quickly settled the plan, then moved to the screenwriters of Shahai Entertainment, who would further create scripts and improve the plan.

At least two movies will be filmed in "The Joker" and if it succeeds one after another and the market responds well, it is not impossible to have a trilogy.

Of course, if this video wants to succeed, the card of sentiment must also be played well.

The first movie that was so popular was largely due to the fact that it was so delicious for a considerable number of viewers.

Ronan originally planned to find Wan Ziren to serve as the producer. After all, he is the director and producer of the horror films in Relativity Entertainment, but Wan Ziren is preparing to film "Soul Conjuring" and has to take into account the "Saw" series, which is too late to deal with in terms of time and energy.

At present, the "horror movie universe" under the charge of Wan Ziren is advancing step by step. "Luxury" will be released and released by Embassy Pictures in the second half of the year, and "Summoning the Soul" has also determined the schedule for next year.

In addition, the "Annabelle" project has also been confirmed, and the script is completed by Wan Ziren.

But Wan Ziren cannot serve as the director of all the films of the "Horror Cinema Universe". He will serve as a producer on the project "Annabelle" and then recruit suitable horror directors.

Wan Ziren and Ronan communicated with each other. After watching the completed preview of "Zombie Paradise", he intended that the director of the zombie film, Drew Gundam, would direct "Annabelle".

Ronan did not interfere too much and agreed with Drew Gundam as the candidate.

Although "Zombie Paradise" directed by Drew Gundam has not yet been released, it has received unanimous praise at its internal preview and preview. It can be said that it has produced a masterpiece of the zombie type.

Drew Gundam himself is also happy to continue working with Relativity Entertainment.

Driven by Ronan himself, the preliminary work of "The Joker" is progressing very quickly. This kind of horror film does not require celebrity actors or large productions. Moreover, the copyright of the remake obtained from Warner Bros. also has enough adaptation power, and does not need to deal with Stephen King.

Stephen King is indeed a god in the minds of many horror movie enthusiasts, but no company likes to invite a god back to its crew.

The adaptation project team does not need to deal with Stephen King at all.

Shahai Entertainment has made preliminary plans. "The Joker's Smack" will be led by Doug Davis, deputy director of the production department, and the director needs to recruit from the outside.

The project budget is not high, and only $20 million is temporarily allocated.

Meanwhile, Jerever Abrams' new project has entered the shooting stage, and the crew officially started filming this week in New York.

As the city with the most destruction in the world, New York is once again going to be devastated in science fiction movies.

Influenced by the success of "The Ninth District", Jerever Abrams also wanted to shoot in a pseudo-documentary DV.

The difference is that Jerever Abrams intends to use the first perspective.

This film, which has been named "The Collover Archives", will be released next year.

The success of "The Ninth District" also strengthened Jerever Abrams' confidence.

From April to late June, after ten weeks of screenings, the theater life of "Zone 9" has come to an end.

This type of film attracts audiences to the theater with exaggerated publicity and marketing. The production itself is rough and it is difficult to ensure long-term screenings. It is a typical film that can run away with just one stroke.

The reputation of hype in the early stage has dropped a lot after a long period of screenings, such as imdb, which dropped below eight points.

Fortunately, the business has met the expectations of relativity entertainment. Although it is far from comparable to "The Witch Blair", which is also a model of viral marketing, the revenue of the film can still be described as amazing compared to investment.

During the ten-week screening time, "The Ninth District" won $115.66 million in North America, achieving a box office of four times the production cost of North America.

The North American box office alone was divided into one, Relativity Entertainment not only recovered all its investments in "The Ninth District", but also achieved a profit of nearly 10 million US dollars.

Overseas, the response of "The Ninth District" is much worse. It is currently entering the overseas market one after another, with a cumulative overseas box office of less than US$30 million.

Such a film with a medium-low investment is considered valuable to have such commercial achievements.

No one can compare science fiction movies of this type and investment with first-line commercial productions.

The last weekend in June is here, facing the newly released Sony Columbia Pictures animated feature "Surfing Penguin", many of the films under Relativity Entertainment still maintain a relatively stable box office trend.

"Teddy Bear" does not open high and end low like most shit and pee-shes comedy, maintaining an unusually stable box office trend. The box office fell by only a little over 40% the next weekend, and it received another $33.56 million in North America, and the cumulative box office in North America has reached $126.87 million.

This is already so good that the box office results are no longer good for the low-cost R-level comedy films.

The box office trend of "Car Story" is not as stable as the Pixar Studios animated feature films in the past, but the box office revenue in North America is also close to $200 million.

The surrounding revenue is even more amazing. With North American peripheral derivatives plus various authorizations, Relativity Entertainment's revenue has reached US$200 million.

Moreover, for a long time to come, peripherals and copyrights will bring far and continuous high returns to Relativity Entertainment.

Disney once only took a few years to earn billions of dollars in revenue through the omni-channel operation of "Car Mobilization".

Although Relativity Entertainment is still far behind Disney's animation peripheral operations, it can still achieve huge profits.

Another film released by Embassy Pictures during the summer season, "The Hulk", North America's box office is slowly moving towards $250 million, and the global box office has exceeded $400 million.

This big investment and big production is not difficult for Relativity Entertainment to recover money through online and offline operations.

Next month, Relativity Entertainment will still have two films released, namely "Transformers" on the Independence Day and the latest animated feature "Kung Fu Panda" by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio.

The latter continues the usual style of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, and the production cost is not high, only $75 million.

"Transformers" is a key first-line film project with high investment in Relativity Entertainment.

However, the various advertisements and sponsors that are flooded in the film have already brought nearly $40 million in revenue to Relativity Entertainment.

Never doubt Michael Bay's ability to implant ads.
