"As a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan Anderson's assembly line is produced, another commercial film with serious modeling!"

With the full release of "Hurricane Rescue 2" in North America, various film reviews have been released one after another, but among the critics, this film is quite unpopular.

On the first day of release, the professional reputation of "Hurricane Rescue 2" was over. The Rotten Tomato Index, which collected more than 50 comments from the critics, completely rotted, only 32%.

Fortunately, the cinema audience of the ema score scored it as "a-", which is not very outstanding, but it is not bad for commercial movies.

The reputation of the media is actually quite good.

The Hollywood Reporter review is quite representative: this sequel to Relativity Entertainment, like a textbook, demonstrates how to shoot a wonderful, successful and satisfying fast food movie.

Among ordinary viewers, the most liked comment about "Hurricane Rescue 2" shared by Netflix also represents the views of most viewers: viewers who like the first part and expect to see more similar content will get what they expect.

Therefore, the film's box office performance was quite good on the first day of its release in North America, and it closed at $21.28 million in 3,980 theaters.

On the second day, the professional reputation of "Hurricane Rescue 2" continued to decline, and the Rotten Tomatoes index fell to 24%, but the single-day box office of the film rose by nearly 10%.

After 2000, films with the Rotten Tomatoes Index hit the box office failed, and countless films with Rotten Tomatoes were successful in commercial success.

Film critics and the first-tier film market are further separated.

Hollywood commercial films are also breaking away from the traditional Hollywood model.

Shahai Entertainment officially announced on Saturday that the project was confirmed for "Hurricane Rescue 3". The main creators including director Jereff Abrams and two protagonists Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried will all return.

At the same time, "Hurricane Rescue 3" will also be the end of the series.

But the collaboration between Relativity Entertainment and Liam Neeson is far from over. After the third part is over, a new rescue movie will be released.

A script about a terrorist attack on planes has been sent to Liam Neeson by Shahai Entertainment.

This old and strong actor is also very optimistic about the "money prospect" of cooperating with Relativity Entertainment.

Liam Neeson is old. He won the Oscar for Best Actor nomination in "Schindler's List" back then, but did not bring much help to his acting career. In recent years, even the second-tier Hollywood can hardly be regarded as worthy of his reputation.

On the contrary, after cooperating with Relativity Entertainment, fame, status and status soared at the same time, and it was even praised as a late bloomer.

It is obvious that Schindler and Oscar nominations for Best Actor are not very present.

This man, who has been sharpened by time, has completed his transformation to an action star after several action movies.

Facts have proved repeatedly that his action-type characters are also very popular.

After the weekend, the first week of "Hurricane Rescue 3" was released. Despite facing competition from 20th Century Fox's "Forward" and Paramount Pictures' "New Joyful Hall" on the same weekend, it still earned $61.68 million, firmly sitting on the throne of the North American box office rankings.

The commercial appeal of the sequel movie is undoubtedly revealed.

In several overseas markets that were released on the same weekend, "Hurricane Rescue 2" also showed strong box office appeal.

The film's first weekend in the UK was as high as $13.91 million; Australia also earned $8.79 million; France's first weekend's box office was infinitely close to $10 million...

On the first weekend, the video received $41.2 million overseas.

Based on the market discovery and a series of data collected, Embassy Pictures predicts that the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" will be around $270 million, and there is no pressure to exceed $500 million global box office.

The serialized film strategy has made today's relativity entertainment. At this stage and even in the next decade, Ronan's focus is still on serialized films.

Sequel movies can make it easier for film companies to make a fortune, develop a fan economy, and can be widely circulated.

I believe that for a film company, the fundamental meaning of making a movie is to create commercial value.

Therefore, ensuring long-term and stable returns is the key point. Investing in a brand new movie is much more risky than investing in a sequel to a classic movie.

Looking at the film lists of Relativity Entertainment every year, the sequels of successful movies account for far more than half.

This can not only reduce investment in publicity and distribution, but also effectively reduce risks.

With the full release of "Hurricane Rescue 2", only one film left for Relativity Entertainment in 2005, "Brokeback Mountain" has not yet been officially released.

The release strategy of this film directed by Ang Lee is completely different from the previous ones. It is aimed at awards season, with the ultimate goal being Oscars.

The two major goals that Ronan has identified are always very clear—Best Director and Best Picture.

On the other hand, news has been heard from Maple Leaf Pictures. After a brief consideration, Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison personally called Ronan and clearly stated that they would be Disney's largest shareholder!

For Maple Leaf Pictures, for these two ambitious people who want to make a career in Hollywood, there may never be any chances if they missed them.

On Monday morning, Ronan met the two again at the Relativity Building.

Robert Eiger also came. The first thing he did after he came was to show Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison the equity authorization letter other than Relativity Entertainment.

"There are a few points that I need to declare in advance." Robert Eiger was a rare villain: "Our negotiations must be carried out in secret, and in addition to the necessary legal and accounting professionals, we hope that the two can participate in the negotiations in person."

Ryan Kavanaugh said: "No problem, too, we need relativistic entertainment to keep it confidential."

He infers others from himself, and thinks that there are definitely people who are interested in Disney equity. If there is a big negotiation and competitors appear, it may cost a greater price.

Robert Eiger said: "Yes." He said the second point: "This transaction needs to be completed in cash, and the two need to raise funds by mid-December."

For others, it is very tense and difficult to do in just over twenty days, but Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison are not ordinary people.

Ryan Kavanaugh is confident that he can lobby the investors on Wall Street to continue investing. After all, they have already boarded Maple Leaf Pictures' ship, and the possibility of additional investment is infinite.

David Ellison has communicated with his father, and Larry Ellison will give him full support from attitude to funding.

"No problem," Ryan Kavanaugh said: "You don't have to worry about the funds. Since David and I are going to do this transaction, funds are not a problem."

He added: "I hope to start negotiations on the deal as soon as possible."

Ronan said: "Bob will personally host the negotiations in the entertainment industry, and it will start within this week."

David Ellison responded: "Okay!"

The deal reached a preliminary intention, which also means that Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison accepted the acquisition at a premium, and the premium would not be less than 10%.

As for the specific transaction price, it depends on the subsequent negotiations.

Ronan said: "I always believe that Relativity Entertainment and Maple Leaf Pictures can reach a consensus and carry out more cooperation. Now it seems that we are always allies of the same front."

Ryan Kavanaugh smiled and said, "I hope we will be allies in the future."

"Yes." Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment values ​​every friend and every friendship."

How great would it be if there were novices like Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison everywhere in the Hollywood circle? I guess Relativity Entertainment doesn’t have to work hard to shoot and make movies, and rely on friends to make money.

The two sides talked for a while, clarified some terms in the direction, and basically determined the tone of the negotiation.

Ryan Kavanaugh and David Ellison did not stay too much and said goodbye at the same time.

They have to raise funds next.

In the reception room, Ronan reminded Robert Eiger: "Bob, control the pace of negotiations, it is best to implement them according to the established plan, so that you can flexibly grasp the specifics."

Robert Eiger said: "I understand that since they have boarded our ship, they can't go down."

Ronan said: "Maple Leaf Pictures, and Pixar Studios, this is the end of the Disney project. After completion, we can also relax for a while."

Robert Eiger said again: "What is the matter of seeking a seat in MPAA?"

Ronan sighed: "Even with Disney, it is very difficult for us to reach an agreement with Warner Bros. After all, as long as one of the six companies opposes, it will not be possible to succeed. The so-called support for relativity entertainment to enter mpaa is more of a condition I deliberately thrown out, which can act as a bait."

Robert Iger said: "This needs to be done slowly." He asked with concern: "Is there any news from Warner Brothers?"

Ronan shook his head: "The last time Charles Rowan talked to me, there was no such thing as the following. I guess there were different opinions within Warner Bros., maybe they thought my conditions were too much."

"Warner Bros.'s management sometimes makes people unable to understand." Robert Iger also felt this way: "I don't think it's strange if Kevin Teshura finally makes any decision."

Ronan said: "I hope one day, Warner Bros. is willing to sell us the Righteous League copyright."

Robert Eiger shook his head: "There is basically no such possibility."

Ronan stopped mentioning these things and instead reminded: "Okay, the big aspects are basically certain. The remaining negotiations with Maple Leaf Pictures and Pixar Studios will be left to you."

Robert Eiger is responsible for these tasks, and Ronan is also at ease enough that with Robert Eiger's ability, there will be no mistakes.

The development route of relativity entertainment has always been very clear. Taking Disney's path will eventually leave Disney with no way out.

Marvel Studios and Pixar Studios have obtained the copyright of the live-action filming of classic animated feature films. What should be next?
