Legendary Hollywood Director

A family-friendly movie suitable for all ages and a movie with a strong author's style for the adult market, who can win the audience's favor?

The answer to this question seems obvious.

Starting this Friday, Finding Nemo has shown unparalleled dominance.

On the first day of its release alone, it easily won $35.53 million.

As always, it shows the powerful gold-absorbing ability of Pixar Animation Studios.

On the other hand, the bad guys of Lehmann and Europa Pictures have absolutely no resistance to the impact of another rival in the summer vacation.

The single-day output has further shrunk to less than 10 million US dollars.

After consuming a potentially large audience of fans, this is perfectly normal.

Although the audience's reputation is still very good, the bad guy has a very obvious congenital defect compared with Finding Nemo.

That's the video audience.

After the end of the first weekend, Finding Nemo directly topped the weekly box office chart with a score of 82.58 million US dollars in 3 days, which also ended the bad guy's position on the list.

Under its strong impact, Bad Guy's second weekend box office performance was still tepid, neither dropping too much nor showing any momentum of contrarian growth.

However, what makes everyone more gratified is that, at least, it has stabilized.

On Saturday, Finding Nemo also began to consume a large number of early audiences. Compared with the previous weekend, the box office dropped slightly, and it reported $23.5 million that day. starter

Of course, the bad guys didn't get much better either. The single-day box office continued to decline, with $7.85 million from 2,200 theaters.

If there is no miracle, with such a box office situation, the difficulty for bad guys to break through the 400 million mark in North America has increased countless times.

However, the current achievement of 365.75 million US dollars can be regarded as exceeding the expected goal shared by Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures to break 300 million in North America.

A new week is here, and last weekend's box office results were released smoothly.

Finding Nemo took the top spot at the box office with $78.45 million, while Bad Guy was second for the second time, with $26.87 million.

This result continued to drop 35 percent from last week.

Under such circumstances, the number of movie theaters will inevitably be cut off a lot, plummeting to 1,800.

Just like some kind of chain reaction, the less powerful the box office is, the more the theaters will not pay attention to it, and then continue to fail, continue to shrink... until the final picture is drawn.

And it is summer vacation after all, the box office market is quite enthusiastic, and more films will join the competition in the future. The number of theaters and the number of films will only be further compressed to make room for others.

No matter how much work Paramount Pictures does, it can't change this inevitable law. If nothing else, only profit is the eternal truth. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer:

As for Europa Pictures, which is responsible for overseas distribution, it has also entered the market long ago, and has started box office harvesting in major ticket warehouse areas.

The box office in the UK in the first week was 3.87 million US dollars, and France, after all, is Lehmann's base camp, and the response from fans was also very strong, and it directly reaped 12.58 million US dollars.

In terms of market capacity, it may be even more powerful than that from the United States.

But in general,

The screening performance in so many overseas markets is not bad.

...

Paris, France, Europa Pictures headquarters.

I received invitations from several film companies today, and you can be said to have continuous film appointments...

Luc Besson threw a cigar to Lehmann, put a stack of documents in front of him, and joked: You are now attracting attention in the industry, and even the French side is uneasy. This invitation is not as good as Hollywood. Difference.

Lehmann ignored it. Europa Pictures had long known about his idea of ​​starting a new show, and also knew that he had no time for it at all.

What's more, as early as when the three idiots were making a riot at the Bollywood box office, many people kept coming and going like sharks smelling blood. How to escape this time.

It's not too late, everyone is the same.

A director like him who has already made achievements will naturally be missed.

Worship when you see high, step on when you are low.

Realistic? Hollywood has always been the most realistic.

I'm here today for something else.

Lyman said.

For what, of course, Wen Ziren's movie plan Chainsaw Horror.

Some people may wonder why Lehmann wants money and connections, and knows many senior executives of publishing companies, why did he come to discuss with Luc Besson.

In Sao Nian, who doesn't want to make independent productions, and who doesn't want to do business with steady profits and no losses.

But, is it possible.

The depth of the movie is so deep that I don't know how many ambitious people have been drowned.

Is there any risk in doing business? Investment is the same.

He is not stupid enough to be a sole proprietor of filming. Financing and borrowing chickens to lay eggs are the norm in this circle.

People who eat alone have never had a good end.

why.

Lehmann has made so many films, which are big box office hits, and there are not many people who eat meat and drink soup.

He has never had a big head. The real beneficiaries will always be the distribution companies Europa Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

If these films go out without dividing the proceeds, they will be so vigorously promoted and sold at the box office so easily.

You don't have to think about it, you have everything in your dreams, okay?

In this circle, compromise is often more needed than toughness.

Of all the resources of the film industry, Lehmann exclusively owns the word work. Where is the channel? Who to look for?

Those equally ambitious Hollywood companies?

It would be better to continue to cooperate with Europa Pictures, at least Luc Besson is a smart person.

Also know how to pay attention to proportions.

You want to sign the distribution rights of this film to Europa Pictures? That James Wyn, I think it was the assistant director of your last film.

Well, he came to me a few days ago. I talked to him and wanted to give him a hand on this project. Lehmann thought for a while and continued: The specific situation will wait for his shooting plan to be made. , let's talk in detail.

Don't worry, since you have this idea, I will definitely support it. Luc Besson also agreed.

For him, it is very good to maintain the relationship with Lehman and strengthen the cooperation between the two parties.

That's it, I'm tired too, I'll go home and rest first. Lehmann said his plans to come back to France on this trip, and he also took the initiative to leave.

Walk slowly, I'll find someone to see you off. Luc Besson smiled.

Well, just take me home.

Of course, Lehmann will not reject the kindness that Europa Pictures has unleashed on him.
