Chapter 1394 (1/2)
In the next few days, Hollywood has two growing indicators.
A growing number of female stars have publicly accused Harvey of sexual assault.
When the box office of zombie master broke through 100 million yuan, the number of female stars who publicly accused Harvey of real name also exceeded 10, and a total of 12 female stars stood up to denounce their injuries.
Nearly half of the 12 actresses mentioned that Harvey had secretly regulated these actresses because someone anonymously exploded Harvey's black material on the Internet, so these actresses jumped out to accuse Harvey in order to protect themselves.
Harvey has done a lot of fucking things and abused many young stars, but most of them are voluntary or half hearted. But in order to protect their reputation, they all put the responsibility on Harvey. For Harvey, now it's more debt, less pressure and lice It doesn't hurt much, but for these actresses, they don't want to lose their future because of Harvey.
Another growing figure is the total box office of zombiw master.
The first day was $18.5 million, the second day was $33 million, and the attendance rate was 100%. On the third day, the cinema was overwhelmed by the strong attraction of zombie master, and the film arrangement continued to increase by 20%. In addition, the Internet rumors about Harvey and the film continued to increase the popularity of the film, so the attendance rate on the third day remained unchanged, still an amazing 100%, while the total box office That's 41 million.
On the fourth day, the cinema continued to squeeze the number of times, which gave the film a higher film arrangement rate. The rehearsal rate increased by about 10% on the basis of the previous day. However, the attendance rate dropped slightly, maintaining at 95% on the whole. The total box office was $42 million. Four days after its release, the box office broke the $100 million mark, reaching $134 million.
There is also good news that is expected to improve the box office. Coca Cola and McDonald's have obtained the authorization to use the image of Chinese zombies in the new version of ”plant vs zombie online”, and they have started to prepare for listing. Soon, the North American market will see the image of Chinese cartoon zombies, as well as McDonald's meals and toys, which will certainly improve to a certain extent The box office of the movie!
Lucas predicted that the box office of this movie might break through the $300 million mark, which subverted his cognition of the whole movie industry, and what he couldn't imagine was the desire of the DVD industry for this movie. Now many DVD distribution enterprises have found his cooperation, hoping to get the DVD distribution right in North America from him. According to the estimation, for example If the box office can exceed 300 million dollars, the total output value of DVD should also exceed 100 million dollars in the next year.
Lucas cautiously chose the most reliable DVD distributor and signed a 5:2:3 tripartite cooperation agreement. In North America, the DVD distribution right was authorized to Lucas by Makino image. Makino image got 50% of all DVD distribution revenue, while in the remaining 50%, Lucas took 20% and DVD distributors 30%.
It seems that Lucas suffered some losses, but actually he is the most profitable one. Li Mu, as the copyright owner, paid the cost of copyright when he took the copyright. DVD distributors not only have to undertake the three links of DVD distribution production, promotion and sales, but also bear the risk of making a loss. Lucas doesn't have to pay for bullshit, just sit down in the tripartite cooperation If you sign on to it, 20% of the net profit will be made.
North American market $300 million box office space, and 100 million U. S. dollar DVD distribution space, this data has made Hollywood unable to make complaints about it, seeing a 85 year old Hongkong movie making so much money, many Hollywood publishers began to focus on Hongkong.
The success of zombie master made Hollywood realize that in fact, the film market in North America does not have obvious peak and trough periods. It seems that Christmas and summer are the peak of box office, but it does not mean that the box office market in March, April, may, September, October and November is poor. The key is to have films that can mobilize the audience to pay.
Hollywood's blockbusters are mainly for Christmas and summer vacation in order to protect their income, which causes the embarrassing situation that there are few big productions in other time periods. Although Hollywood does not want to move the big productions to these time periods, it can introduce some overseas high-quality films at low cost overseas in this time period, and then take them to excavate the non hot ones Box office potential.
After all, the cinema is not a popsicle stall. In the latter summer, the streets are full of them. After summer, they disappear without trace. However, no matter in the peak or low period, every cinema, every cinema and every seat are placed there. Even if they are empty in the low period, they cannot be dismantled or used for other purposes.
Zombie master is such a coincidence. Anyway, there is no film competition now, and there are not many people competing for cinema resources, so it gives zombie master the hardware foundation for box office explosion.
Hollywood also took a practical course full of goods from this event. In this case, I might as well introduce zombie master like Lucas and then cooperate with Makino technology to promote it, and operate some overseas ready-made film copyrights in this period.A few days ago, the Hong Kong film circle was still cursing Li Mu's low-cost sweeps. He took all the copyright of Hong Kong's zombie movies to make a lot of money. As a result, the money he gave to Hong Kong Film and television companies didn't even make one percent of his money. In this proportion alone, Li Mu is really the most treacherous profiteer in the world in their eyes.
