Chapter 451 (1/2)
This year's Thanksgiving is November 28.
With the end of ”scream 3”, in addition to the summer blockbuster ”few good people”, MGM has also reached a number of cooperation with Denise entertainment in terms of IP image authorization, classic video distribution and so on according to the original plan.
In addition, with the support of daenerys entertainment, MGM has re signed an agreement with Turner Broadcasting, which took away a large part of the company's film and television rights.
Turner Broadcasting Company originally took away MGM's TV broadcasting rights for a large number of classic films. After negotiation between the two sides, although the broadcasting rights were not recovered, it will still fulfill the original authorization period until 2003. However, Turner Broadcasting Company also increased the payment price and relaxed the terms and restrictions on MGM's selling broadcasting rights to other TV networks at the same time System.
This also means that Denise Entertainment's TV stations can also broadcast MGM films next.
In a word, it's only this year that the whole Hollywood can feel the signs of MGM's business improving.
No matter Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro's ”corner of terror”, Macaulay Calkin's ”baby lover” or 007's golden eye, which was born four years earlier, can not cover up the light of ”Toy Story”.
As the Thanksgiving calendar continues, more information is revealed.
According to the Los Angeles Times, with the release of toy story, the toys surrounding the 3D animated film were also on sale for a while.
Toy story is just the name of this 3D animated film, so we can see the value of the development around the film.
Moreover, after watching the movie, the audience found that retail stores such as Toys R US had put on shelves a lot of toys around Toy Story ahead of time. Americans have always been very willing to spend money around the movie. Similarly, they are also very willing to spend money on children.
So in just one week, according to rough statistics, toy story's toy sales reached $230 million.
The initial best expectation of retailers, which had completed the $200 million distribution ahead of schedule, also meant that the toys could be sold within a month. However, in less than a week, retailers have to start restocking.
