I Know Everything

Xiaoba's Story is very popular. It reached a box office of 225 million yuan in the first three days of its release, which is higher than The Gift of Room No. 7.

The reason is not that Xiao Ba's Story is better than The Gift of Room No. 7.

There are two main reasons.

First of all, The Gift of Room No. 7 was only screened on 3,500 screens, while The Story of Xiaoba was screened on 6,000 screens.

The difference in the number of screens was almost doubled. As a result, The Story of Xiaoba led the box office by 20 million.

This shows the number of diehard fans, The Story of Xiao Ba is not as good as The Gift of Room No. 7.

Then The Gift of Room No. 7 was released in October 2015, and now The Story of Xiaoba was released in March 2017, and a year and a half has passed.

In the past one and a half years, people's consumption habits have improved enough, the consumption of entertainment is getting higher and higher, and the number of people watching movies is also increasing.

Therefore, it is reasonable that more people watch Xiaoba's Story.

But Shen Huan can see from this that, at least in China, the stamina of Little Eight is not as good as The Gift of Room No. 7.

The director's cut and extended DVD of The Gift of Room No. 7 has sold more than 3 million copies in China. What an honor is this?

According to the situation in China where Baidu cloud disks and Xunlei BT are downloaded everywhere, it is the first time that genuine DVDs can sell so much.

This shows the importance of diehard fans.

Among the fans who watched Xiaoba's Story this time, there must be many fans of The Gift of Room No. 7!

Let's talk about foreign box office.

The box office trend of Xiao Ba's Story in Japan and South Korea is very strong, directly occupying the first place in the box office of the week, and its advantage is unshakable.

It is also a Confucian cultural circle, and it talks about loyalty, a topic that everyone likes. Of course, Japanese and Korean audiences also like it.

Moreover, there are a lot of people who keep pets in these two countries. It is only natural that Xiao Ba's Story is popular under the love of the house.

This time, the largest pet food company in Japan and the pet product company were the ones who talked with Guo Hang and Yang Shu about the endorsement of the advertisement.

In Europe and the United States, Xiaoba's Story is also doing well, with a box office of more than 10 million US dollars.

For a film without any European and American actors, and it is a literary film, it is already commendable to have such a result in the first weekend.

But it is not Xiaoba's Story that stands out the most, but Joker.

Yes.

This movie, which Shen Huan fully invested in, also started to be screened in time for the aftermath of the Berlin Film Festival.

Warner Bros. gave them 2,000 screens, and as a result, the box office hit 53 million in the first weekend, directly topping the box office champion, and became the single-week box office champion in March since North American film history!

The average daily income of a single hall is close to 10,000 US dollars, and with only 2,000 screens, it has won a box office of 53 million US dollars, which is amazing!

Not just box office results,

The evaluation of Joker is also particularly high. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has reached 98%, and the score is as high as 9.5 points.

This is already the highest rated movie in two years!

It's so real, it's so sad! The director and the protagonist are great! I've watched it three times!

I used to hate this neurotic idiot, but now I know that the clown has such a miserable past!

Is it the clown's fault? In the beginning, he loved acting, he loved the society, he took care of his mother, he was willing to help people, and he went to make the children in the orphanage happy! What's wrong with it? It's all about this cruel society. He pushed himself to this point step by step!

Seeing the clown, I seem to see myself, but I can still persist, so I am not as desperate as the clown!

Joaquin Phoenix's acting skills are definitely at the level of an Oscar winner. I am very much looking forward to his next Oscar winner!

It is a kind of enjoyment to watch such a movie! Great support!!

...

After seeing these reviews, Warner Bros. was overjoyed, and immediately arranged an extended screening for the second week, preparing to keep around 3,000 screens even on weekdays.

However, when they were happy, they began to fly into a rage.

the reason is simple.

Because when they talked with Todd Phillips, they were deceived!

On behalf of Shen Huan's Fengxiang Film and Television, Todd Phillips bought the copyright of the remake of the Joker character for 20 million US dollars, plus giving up the box office share of Joker.

There is no problem with buying the remake copyright for 10 million US dollars, and the price is normal.

But the subsequent operation made the people of Warner Bros. feel heartbroken!

Because they were not optimistic about the prospects of Joker, their vice president in charge of negotiations, under the coaxing of Todd Phillips, took a price of 10 million US dollars and gave up the box office profit share of Joker.

This is the specific use of 20 million US dollars.

According to normal circumstances, Joker will get a box office of 200 million U.S. dollars, and Warner Bros. can only get a share of 10 million U.S. dollars.

This is actually not a problem.

Even if the box office of Joker is definitely more than 200 million, and may reach 400 to 500 million US dollars, it is not a big mistake.

After all, Warner Bros. still has a 12% distribution share, which is a guarantee that the higher the box office, the greater their profits.

What made Warner Bros. even more distressing was that Fengxiang Film and Television used 30 million US dollars to take away 30% of the peripheral copyright share that should have belonged to Warner!

This peripheral copyright includes TV broadcast copyright, Internet broadcast copyright, and more importantly, DVD copyright and copyright for various peripheral product development!

If Joker continues to develop like this, and gets a box office of three to five billion US dollars, according to normal estimates, its income from peripheral rights and interests should also be this amount.

Then Warner Bros. will be at least 100 million US dollars when it arrives!

It is a disgrace to the company to sell this interest for a mere 30 million US dollars!

But no matter how big a name Warner Bros. is, the contract you sign is a contract, and you won't be allowed to play tricks at all.

Warner Bros. can also play tricks on the distribution, such as reducing the scale of the release or something.

But this is also destroying the influence and value of the Joker brand owned by Warner Bros.

Thinking of making a lot of money from Joker in the future, Warner Bros. is simply reluctant.

In desperation, they could only pinch their noses and continue with the previous decision - 3,000 screens on weekdays, and increase to 5,000 screens on weekends, striving to make Joker get more box office!

In any case, the honor of Joker still belongs to Warner Bros.!

This is the only place where they can comfort themselves!
