The profits of the three films ”Star Wars 7”, ”Star Wars 8” and ”Star Wars Gaiden: Rogue One” exceeded US$1.5 billion, which means that the company's other value is not counted, and the subsequent development of just one movie Earn 40% of the purchase price.

Then let's talk about ”Star Wars 8” in detail, the data is more intuitive to list.

The film's North American box office was 620 million, overseas box office was 710 million, and the global box office totaled $1.3325 billion.

Among them, the cinema share account is almost 600 million, and then the global home entertainment (DVD, TV broadcasting copyright, etc.) is 389 million.

After deducting production costs and publicity costs, it is 385 million.

For copy transportation and loss, more than 90 million yuan was deducted, interest and management expenses gained more than 30 million yuan, and the total expenditure was 578.3 million yuan.

The net profit of the film party is 417.5 million US dollars, and the return rate is as high as 1.72 (income and expenditure).

In other words, Disney relied on this movie and has not calculated licensing fees such as toys (this is not available, not Disney's company), it is worthy of Lehman's two years of hard work.

Of course, this is also because Lehman is an investor and did not really participate in the release. The biggest piece of fat was not eaten at all, so Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures were separated.

Think about it, he relied on 4 movies with a total global box office of close to 1 billion, and his peripheral operations can also have almost 600 million. Adding role authorization and the like, the total gain should be around 1.9 billion, even if labor costs are deducted, Production costs, losses, and the distribution of the theater chain should also be 1 billion.

However, he really got less than 300 million of this money.Profits from investing in ”Chain Saw” and ”Very Human Trafficker” are not included in this part.

In other words, after two years, the 480 million on the company's books still relies on simple financial operations (so much money is deposited in the bank, and investment that is stable and uncompensable will definitely be done, and there is a special bank actively guaranteeing it. What is the profit turnover rate, but it must be much less than making a movie), and really hold the big head of ”Chain Saw”.

If you really want to work purely, it may not have much value in a series of movies if you really work to death.

It seems that if you want to truly rise, you still have to establish your own distribution channels and eat more meat.

For example, DreamWorks, working hard enough, can produce a hit a year, there are many small-profit movies, and even domestic distribution channels have been smoothly improved by buying distribution companies, but they are still no match for the six major blockades of Hollywood , Was directly played to death, split.

Each of the six Hollywood giants is backed by a well-established media platform, and it is true that it is not possible to break through the line of defense with a little trouble.

But, still can't give up the determination to eat meat.

Even if overseas channels cannot be established, the distribution in North America will always be done.

At that time, you will be able to cut a little less meat and rush to the upstream of the industry a little bit without being exploited so much.

Film distribution is esoteric, but the most important thing is to get the film out.

Just like doing retail, stores (cinema) can be arranged one by one.

This means that every state has to have a relevant office responsible for communicating with local theaters. The recruitment and establishment of offices and personnel is difficult. As long as this is solved, it is easy to distribute movies in the United States.
