When Warner Bros. scheduled "Catwoman" to be released in early August, it was not without the intention of using "War Moment". After all, Ronan's film as producer was too successful, and taking advantage of the situation and popularity was also Hollywood's usual behavior.

Selena Kyle is very famous and has a great influence on his grudges and entanglement with Batman.

But no one knows what Warner Bros. and the people in the DC comic production department think. Just like many people in the future, why Warner Bros. plays the DC good cards so chaotic, this movie under the banner of "Catwoman", the heroine is not Selena Kyle!

The Catwoman in this movie is not only a black man, but also a nearly original character, Phipps.

In today's era, black movies are not popular.

Even the black version of Selena Kyle is better than now.

The actress who plays the heroine is Halle Berry, who just won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Just as Warner Bros. and DC Comics once joined together and often created some inexplicable movie projects, this "Catwoman" is simply a collection of failed elements for many commercial movies.

In fact, before borrowing the east wind of "The Moment of War", "Catwoman" exposed many problems.

Due to poor trial responses, Warner Bros. and DC Comics reshooted some scenes, which was only one month before the release date.

But this is far from enough.

As expected, "Catwoman" received a very poor response after its release.

If the "Spider-Man" series brings the excitement of the comic adaptation movie to the extreme, then "Catwoman" is just the opposite. Although Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry's hard performance in the film is commendable, and her figure is also pleasing to the eye after wearing the "Catwoman" costume, she can't save the film's crushing defeat alone. "Catwoman" is one of the worst superhero movies.

On the weekend of painting, "Catwoman" not only failed to top the North American box office rankings, but also had a tragic box office.

The production cost of this film is as high as US$100 million, and the box office in North America was only US$16.72 million in the first weekend. According to the overall audience evaluation of D, cinema score, the final box office in North America is about US$40 million.

Huge losses are inevitable.

The losers are not just Warner Bros. and DC Comics, but also Halle Berry himself.

Not long after she won the Oscar for Best Actress, her acting career was originally at the peak of her life, but at the moment when "Catwoman" failed, Halle Berry fell rapidly from the peak.

From then on, Halle Berry, who was originally expected to enter the ranks of super actresses, had to retreat to the second line and never survived any medium-scale film alone.

No production company would ask her to carry it again.

"Catwoman" failed and huge losses have occurred. Warner Bros. must have someone responsible for this, and a deputy director of the production department left sadly.

If a big-scale movie fails, someone will always be responsible. It is not the Warner Bros.

Also this week, Walt Disney officially announced that Disney Pictures head Tony Close resigned due to the blame.

Everyone knows that Tony Close is responsible for the failure of the two major productions "Eighty Days Traveling the World" and "King Arthur".

"King Arthur" started painting last weekend. The producer was Jerry Brookheimer. The cast brought together Cliff Irving and Kayla Knightley and other famous people, and the production cost was as high as 120 million US dollars.

It's such a film that should be very safe no matter how you look at it. North America only got a pitiful $15.1 million on the weekend, which was even worse than "Catwoman".

The undefeated myth of gold medal producer Jerry Brookheimer's beginnings since the Jedi Men was shattered.

In fact, many people don’t understand why "King Arthur" failed at the box office? The quality of the film is not very poor.

Many of the big-selling commercial movies produced by Jerry Brookheimer are definitely much worse than "King Arthur".

Ronan is not very clear, but based on his previous related memories, he concluded that since "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", large-scale magical or historical epic war movies have been floodgates for Hollywood investment and can't be filled in any way.

Just to say that he has memories, Warner Brothers has a movie called "Alexander the Great" this year, and next year, "Dynasty of Heaven" directed by Ridley Scott, followed by "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistoric", filming one after another "Robin Hood", "Pharaoh and the King", "The End of Pompeii", the magical "King Arthur", etc.

There are very few successful people in the later production of epic films.

It seems that there is only one movie "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", but this is a comic adaptation movie. Strictly speaking, it can be classified as a superhero movie.

Relativity Entertainment has also received many epic war movie projects, but without exception, they are stuck here in Ronan.

Since epic war movies are not popular in the market, of course they will not throw money away.

Regarding the failure of "King Arthur", Ronan Tongshahai Entertainment analyzed the failure and combined with the conclusions drawn by memory, he believed that there was only one possibility, just like the pirate movies in the past, epic war films with great production and investment are no longer in line with this era.

Soon, Ronan's attention turned from "King Arthur" to Disney. Because people kept staring at Disneyland, he knew more about the departure of Disney Pictures Tony Close.

Tony Close is not only responsible for two failed projects with hundreds of millions of investments in "Eighty Days Traveling the World" and "King Arthur", but also a victim of Disney's internal power struggle.

Unlike Ronan for Relativity Entertainment, Michael Eisner, the emperor of Walt Disney, nowadays, has no absolute controlling stake, not to mention the absolute controlling stake, but does not even have relative controlling stake.

This determines that once many shareholders unite and ask Michael Eisner to be responsible for something, Michael Eisner can't suppress the objection at all.

Although some of Disney's shareholders stand with Roy Disney, more shareholders are in a neutral position.

In the eyes of these people, whoever can bring benefits to Disney and shareholders will stand with whom they can stand.

However, investments in two consecutive major productions failed. Even if Roy Disney doesn't have to do too much work, Disney will have to stand up and take responsibility. Moreover, Roy Disney took this opportunity to connect many shareholders.

Such an opportunity will not be missed by anyone with a little brain.

Michael Eisner, as the confidence, had no choice but to sacrifice Tony Close, so he allowed the latter to take the initiative to resign when he was extremely reluctant.

In the words of Robert Eiger's analysis for Ronan, Michael Eisner has lost another hardcore supporter inside Disney, and even this hardcore supporter may have had deep stereotypes about Michael Eisner.

Robert Eiger has worked at Disney for many years and has a smooth source of information, which quickly makes people quietly contact Tony Close.

If it can be used in the future, it will be a chess piece.

Robert Iger knew very well that Ronan had a great idea for Disney, and at least he was a Pixar studio.

A lot of preparations for Walt Disney are going in the direction of Pixar Studios.

Especially since this year's Oscar, Relativity Entertainment has quietly strengthened its connection with Pixar Studios, and John Lasseter of Pixar Studios has also visited the Relativity Building several times.

John Lasseter once again came to the Relativity Entertainment Building and met Ronan and Robert Iger in the reception room on the top floor.

The two sides met several times and were already very familiar with each other.

"Mr. Jobs asked me to convey my greetings to you." John Lasseter faced Ronan with an extremely sincere smile: "He went to India for a retreat this time, and after he came back, he wanted to have a good talk with you."

Ronan nodded and asked out of politeness: "Have Steve's illness cured?"

"It's much better, nothing bad," John Lasseter said.

Of course, just listen to this. If Steve Jobs had no money, the king of cancer like pancreatic cancer would soon be able to kill people.

Robert Iger said at this time: "Since that's the case, Mr. Jobs should take the time and energy into consideration to think about the future of Pixar Studios. Is Disney, especially a chaotic Disney, really suitable for Pixar Studios?"

John Lasseter is still a cliché: "But Pixar Studios has a contract with Walt Disney."

"I don't know if you've been following recently, John?" Robert Iger said directly: "Disney Pictures' Tony Close has left."

John Lasseter helped his glasses down: "I heard that Tony Close was responsible for the investment failure of "Eighty Days Traveling the Earth" and "King Arthur"?"

Luo Nan didn't interrupt and picked up the black tea and started drinking it.

Robert Eiger smiled like Mickey Mouse: "To be precise, Tony Close's resignation was the result of Disney's infighting. Originally, Michael Eisner's side was dominant, and belonged to Michael Eisner's group and the neutral shareholders, both supported Michael Eisner because of past achievements. Roy Disney could only support it with the influence of the Disney family. But Tony Close's resignation allowed Roy Disney to seize the opportunity to expand its influence and contact more shareholders to support it."

He knew Disney very well: "Now, the strength of the two sides is slowly getting closer, what does this mean? War, the real war, is about to break out in Disney."

John Lasseter did not take on this topic easily.

Robert Eiger said again: "Which side is Pixar Studio? You and Michael Eisner are in trouble. If he wins, he will only squeeze Pixar with a tougher attitude. Roy Disney is a traditional Disney power and is determined to revitalize Disney animation. If he wins, Pixar will be better? The copyright of Pixar Studio's animation feature films is in the hands of Disney. Don't you want to take it back?"

"We are very passive." John Lasseter sighed: "Not talking about the past movies, the newly produced feature films will be owned by Disney?"
