Chapter 1131 Beginning

The plan to acquire Twentieth Century Fox has not yet officially surfaced and is still within the scope of a very small community of interests. Apart from quietly preparing for this work, the company's normal business operations have not been affected in any way.

Especially in terms of film, shooting, production and promotional distribution are all carried out according to the plan.

In late January, Uvi Ball's masterpiece was released as a first-year film for Relativity Entertainment.

"The Witcher Washington" premiered in Richmond, the capital of Virginia. It is said that Washington achieved the feat of cutting down the cherry tree demon, thus embarking on the road to saving America with other founding fathers.

This movie is not only a adventure by Washington alone, but also leads like-minded Franklin and Jefferson and others.

The saying "Humanity will never be a slave" was also shouted fiercely.

Last year's "Lincoln, the Vampire Hunter" caused a great market response and also made enough preheat for "The Warrior Washington". With the attractiveness of Uvy Ball's internet celebrity director, many viewers are willing to pay for this film.

"The Warrior Washington" was released in North America for the first week. Although it lost to the "Department Store Men" produced and released by Sony Columbia Pictures at the same time, it ranked second in the box office list, it still received $22.66 million in 3,750 theaters.

This result is almost at the cost of three films with a production cost of $8 million.

Although the film's reputation is still a mess, it does not prevent Uvi Ball from achieving commercial success as a director.

Brother Bao’s directorial journey is far from over.

Perhaps after filming so many invincible video game adaptations and being a dog-licking for Blizzard and Warcraft for several years, but licking it until it ended up leaving nothing, Uvi Ball had some experience and found his own way to film.

In the past, Uvi Ball's films were so bad. In addition to his own problems, the source of the film's funds cannot be ignored.

Germany's movie tax refund policy has led to too many people operating movies instead of shooting and producing movies well.

Just like super-modal horror movies like "The Death is Coming" and "Saw", Uvey Ball also has a group of audiences that belong to him.

In the movie, "The Witcher Washington" took only ten days and the box office in North America exceeded 40 million US dollars, easily bringing huge profits to Relativity Entertainment.

The previous movie "Lincoln, the Vampire Slayer", won $152.68 million worldwide, but the box office share was the number, which brought tens of millions of dollars in profits to Relativity Entertainment.

The film will then begin to be screened on a large scale in the global market.

The first weekend in February is rugby, which is the largest sport in the United States. The influence of NFL is estimated to be comparable to the last three sports leagues.

The Super Bowl is basically on the first weekend of February every year.

As the American Spring Festival Gala, its influence and ratings can only be described as amazing, and even movies released on the Super Bowl weekend will be greatly affected.

Movies with slightly larger investment in Hollywood will basically focus on the next weekend to start painting. This is also the weekend before Valentine's Day. Many movies are preparing to squeeze out Valentine's Day schedule to get satisfactory income.

Among them, there are two most eye-catching movies: one is the third "Luminous Eclipse" in the "Twilight" series under Relativity Entertainment, and the other is the science fiction blockbuster "Terminator 2018" released by 20th Century Fox.

Both films are sequels to popular movies. The former once created a series of magical records last year, which can be regarded as a miracle of fan movies.

The latter's production cost is as high as US$200 million, and 20th Century Fox has invested US$150 million in global publicity and distribution.

Twentieth Century Fox has high hopes for this super blockbuster.

Similarly, Relativity Entertainment also hopes that "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse" can earn revenue and profits that match "New Moon".

One year after the release of "Crescent Moon", the data on the one-year settlement report of this film has been counted and passed to Ronan's office.

"Crescent Moon" finally had a box office of US$315.04 million in North America, an overseas box office of more than US$413.06 million, and a global box office of US$728.1 million.

At present, all the global box office share has been received, and Relativity Entertainment has earned a total of US$276.5 million.

In terms of DVD-led family entertainment, "New Moon" has a total global revenue of US$185.69 million.

On global TV copyright and online on demand, the video earned $151.25 million.

Due to the separate accounting of peripheral products and copyrights, the total revenue of the film is only calculated in these three major projects, totaling US$613.44 million.

In terms of cost, the production cost of "Crescent Moon" is $45 million, the global publicity and distribution cost is $84.5 million, the total cost of home entertainment and TV copyright is $26.5 million, the crew involved Lindsay Bill, director Katherine Hardwick and other creative staff unions stipulate a total of $16.2 million in the later share, the investment interest of the Pacific Foundation is $15.7 million, and the daily management expenses and other expenses of Relativity Entertainment are $32.1 million.

According to Hollywood's usual calculation method, the total expenditure cost of this film is as high as US$220 million, while the net profit is an exaggerated US$393.44 million.

Of course, some of the calculation methods have Hollywood tricks, such as the daily management expenses of film companies and other expenses.

This is the income from the three major movies in the past year. Including other peripheral incomes, the net profit of "Cremlin" to Relativity Entertainment exceeded US$450 million.

The film will continue to shine and heat, and will bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year in the past three years.

According to the expectation of Relativity Entertainment, the profit of "The Lunar Eclipse" in one year will not be lower than that of "New Moon", even if there are behemoths like "Terminator 2018" in the movies released at the same time.

Twentieth Century Fox encountered financial difficulties and was eager to recover funds. "Terminator 2018" also specially chose the release period where the audience was most enthusiastic between the New Year and the summer season, such as the Valentine's Day schedule in February.

Even Rupert Murdoch personally invited James Cameron to attend the premiere of "Terminator 2018" from the South Pacific to create momentum for the film promotion.

Compared with the big investment of 20th Century Fox, Embassy Films still focuses on the promotion of "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse", and the publicity center mainly revolves around the couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

The promotional plot of this film has been pushed into the stage when Robert Pattinson proposed to Christine Stewart by Embassy Films.

The two attended the Super Bowl last weekend together. The diamond ring on Kristen Stewart's finger was particularly dazzling. Under the driving force of the Relativity Entertainment, they even stole a lot of the limelight from the Super Bowl winner Pittsburgh Steelers.

In the next two years, you can break up, open proposals or even engage in engagements, and there are many eye-catching articles to do.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have long signed an agreement under the promotion of the agency and Embassy Pictures. Regardless of the true or false relationship between the two, they must not cheat or break up until the end of the "Twilight" series.

As for whether Robert Pattinson broke up or cheated on Christine Stewart after the entire series of "Twilight" was completed, it had nothing to do with Relativity Entertainment.

This pair of true and false couples played an extremely important role in the promotion of the "Twilight" series. Whether it was once in the hands of Lionsgate Pictures or now under the contract of Relativity Entertainment, they are all considered a model of successful Hollywood couple marketing. They can be used in film marketing textbooks and used as classic cases.

As a movie that completely uses female audiences as its audience, "The Lunar Eclipse" successfully continued the success of "New Moon". It broke the series record on the first day of its release in North America and received US$66.83 million, easily surpassing the super blockbuster "Terminator 2018" in the same period. On the day of its release, it stood first on the North American box office rankings!

"Terminator 2018" finally collected the seventh Dragon Ball for 20th Century Fox!

This super masterpiece earned $11.4 million on the first day of its release, and the audience's response was extremely average.

The series of negative effects brought by the third part ultimately took effect on the fourth part. It seems that the film also proves that without the governor as the main character, the audience is unwilling to pay for the film.

In fact, even if the governor returns, the audience will not pay for the film anymore.

Is the Judgment Day over? In the future, robots will return to the past? The constant time travels through may be boring.

The Terminator series originally originated from a great idea, but now it has evolved into a terrible mistake.

In the next three days, although "Lunar Eclipse" and "Terminator 2018" showed a trend of sharp decline in box office, and the latter even fell even smaller, the overall audience of "Terminator 2018" was too low.

The three-day weekend of painting in North America, and this science fiction production only received $26.62 million. Compared with the huge investment, it can only be described as the super tragic swing.

Although "Luminous Eclipse" has attracted a lot of criticism and its overall reputation hit a new low in the series, it is still the treasure of young women. It has earned $157.77 million in three days. Not only did it win the box office championship, but it also easily achieved large profits on the weekend of painting!

All the films of the latter two series have been completed and will continue to be released during the Valentine's Day schedule in the next two years.

Twentieth Century Fox originally planned to develop "Terminator 5", but the sequel plan was cancelled on the first day of the release of "Terminator 2018".

Seven shining dragon balls were finally collected by the 20th Century Fox, and the dragon was successfully summoned!

The disastrous defeat of "Terminator 2018" was first reflected in the stock market. The stock price of 20th Century Fox plummeted, and the market value evaporated by more than one billion US dollars in the first trading day after the box office of North America was released.
