Chapter 325 (1/2)
After successive holidays, the working life of the public in North America is gradually back on track.
For Hollywood, the first full box office week of 1990 passed quietly. This week, ”Batman: the moment of war” is still the focus of everyone's attention.
From January 5 to January 11, in the third week of release, ”Batman: time for war” showed a significant drop in the box office, with a drop of 33% compared with last week.
However, because of the box office base of more than $80 million in the previous week, ”Batman: the moment of war” fell 33% this week, and the box office revenue was still as high as $59.51 million.
In three weeks, the box office of this pioneering superhero movie quickly broke through the $200 million mark, reaching $230.69 million.
In the light of Batman: the moment of war, all the other movies in the same period are not worth mentioning.
Because the film and the box office are equally hot media attention, during this period, a lot of news related to the film has become the focus of the media.
First of all, naturally, there is the DC superhero universe project that was born with Batman: the moment of war.
According to various sources, Denise entertainment and Warner Bros. will jointly develop a number of superhero film projects of DC in the next few years, including Superman, Batman and wonder woman, and connect all the films through a complete story line to form a large-scale superhero film universe film series of DC.
After the news was officially released, not only the fans and fans were boiling, but also a large number of media began to find out more information about the DC movie universe plan. Time Warner and Denise's high-level officials have become the target of reporters these days.
Pay close attention to the progress of negotiations between the two companies on the implementation details of DC movie universe plan. Meanwhile, after the victory party of Batman: time for war last Saturday, another piece of gossip spread quickly.
At the beginning of the Batman: the moment of war project, Adam Baldwin, Valerie Gallino and other leading actors all signed a long-term film contract with Denise entertainment. This is no secret to the outside world. At the beginning, many people questioned whether Denise entertainment was necessary to do so.
With the box office explosion of the film, it is said that some of the creators who signed the long-term contract began to be dissatisfied with their pay, hoping to renegotiate the agreement.
In order to express dissatisfaction with this kind of behavior, danilisi entertainment directly cancelled the original plan to give ”Batman: the moment of war” all crew members a total of tens of millions of dollars in additional cash reward plan.
This rumor is too topical, involving a huge amount of money, but also enough to attract public attention, so it was quickly hyped.
The first thing the media talked about was how much Denise entertainment and Time Warner could benefit from the release of Batman: the moment of war.
In three weeks, the box office of Batman: time for war in North America reached $400 million. There was no problem. The next step was overseas.
Batman can be said to be one of the cultural symbols of Americans. Although Batman is widely known all over the world, overseas audiences will not have the deep feelings accumulated by Americans in half a century. Before the release of the film, some media in the industry decided that the overseas box office of the film could not exceed the domestic box office.
However, things went beyond everyone's expectation.
Simon westero's phenomenal superhero movie is full of too much creativity. With a series of amazing film techniques and action design applications, even if Batman is replaced with other characters, it can be described as ”amazing”, which is enough to ensure that overseas audiences will not have cultural barriers.
As a result, the media are generally optimistic about Batman's overseas box office scale, which is at least equal to that of domestic box office.
According to the global box office of US $800 million, the producer and distributor can probably recover US $350 million of the box office share. According to the leaked distribution agreement information, the share belonging to danielis entertainment should be about US $250 million.
According to the release progress of a film in recent years, the money will probably be recovered in the next year.
According to the media's forecast of $2 billion in derivatives sales in the next year, daenerys entertainment should be able to earn about $300 million. Besides paying 10% of DC Comics, there is still $270 million left.
Combined with the above two, danielis entertainment will be able to recover $500 million in the next year with Batman: the moment of war.
Even if the film's production budget and promotion costs are directly counted as $100 million, Denise entertainment will make a net profit of $400 million from the project in the next year.
Next, one year later, in the revenue period of five years, the revenue from the follow-up derivative sales, video distribution and TV broadcasting of Batman: the moment of war will certainly be only higher than that of the first two items. You know, according to the latest statistics, with the further expansion of the video market, the average proportion of global video revenue of Hollywood movies in the total revenue has exceeded 45%, while the proportion of box office revenue in the total revenue has dropped to less than 30%.As a result, Batman: the moment of war's revenue in follow-up channels can at least equal that of Denise Entertainment's first year.
All in all, Denise entertainment will be able to earn at least $800 million from the distribution of Batman: the moment of war in the next five years. As the distributor, Time Warner's revenue will not be less than $200 million.
One billion dollars, which happens to be the total profit scale of Batman: the moment of war generally recognized by most media.
Danielis and time warner can make a billion dollars with Batman: the moment of war. What's the salary of the leading actor and heroine?
The media came out immediately.
Adam Baldwin, Batman, 300000 dollars. Valerie Gallino, the cat girl, 200000 dollars.
The two add up to only half a million dollars.
Compared with other supporting actors in the film, the pay is lower.
Adam Baldwin and Valerie Gallino have quickly amassed fans with the release of Batman: the moment of war.
Under the reports of the media, who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, seeing that the idol can only get such a small amount of film payment, danielis and time warner can make a huge profit of $1 billion. Naturally, fans begin to be dissatisfied. Many fans begin to ask danielis entertainment and Time Warner to renegotiate the contract to raise their idol's salary by writing and calling.
The relevant news was originally released by danielis entertainment, and it was natural to quickly respond to this situation.
Although it has not been acquired by Time Warner, CNN channel of Turner Broadcasting Company, which has always maintained a close relationship with the company, made a special issue soon after the news broke out, visiting the status quo of the last few Hollywood actors who were shortlisted for Batman last year.
