Legendary Hollywood Producer

Chapter 25: Box office sales

With the blue sky, warm sunshine, and fresh air, Roman sat in a comfortable seat in a wonderful mood.

Just yesterday, the movie "Infected" officially broke 100 million at the North American box office, reaching 103 million.

The UK, France, Germany, Australia and other places have also begun screenings of the movie "Infected", and other regions will be released in a few days. Although the earlier the screening overseas is more beneficial to the producer Manhai Entertainment and the distributor Paramount Pictures, Because of the tight time constraints, Paramount Pictures has no energy to coordinate the unified time of the releases in various regions. It is the same as before. After a week after the release in North America, other surrounding areas such as Europe will be released, and other remote areas. It's even slower.

There are piracy dealers all over the world, which is why Paramount Pictures is eager to release overseas. If you don't pay attention, it is estimated that piracy has been done everywhere, and it will be passive by then. The United States can be regarded as the country that attaches the most importance to copyright protection, but it still cannot prevent the emergence of piracy. As long as there are benefits to be found, there will always be some opportunistic people to watch this kind of thing. Blocking cannot be stopped. It was the theater owner who recorded and broadcast this, which greatly prevented everyone from cracking down on piracy. Is it hard to guard against house thieves by day and night?

"Laihua, have the copies from RB and Xiangjiang sent over?" At the headquarters of Paramount Pictures, George, the head of the distribution department, was calling to inquire about the situation in East Asia.

"It has been delivered. Xiangjiang will be released on Monday this week, but the island country will not be released until early August." Laihua told his boss George the news.

"Okay, I see, you have to pay more attention to Xiangjiang's publicity." George hung up the phone after hearing the response from his subordinates.

Damn island country, **** movie native protection, ignorance.

George vented the depression in his heart. The Asian region is too ironclad, not to mention the naked regional protection policy. There is no interest in the hand. He has to wait until the publicity is gone and piracy is rampant. There is still a movie from the family that has not been released. By then, not to mention the effort of publicity, and even the schedule will pass. The main force of watching the movie is not there. Will there be any box office in the release?

This was also what George was angry about. The island country did not cooperate with Paramount at all. When "Infected" was released in August, the day lily was cold.

After cursing the island country again, George then called Twal. He was in charge of the Smecta country, Singapore, Thailand and other places.

"Teval, how's the situation on your side?"

"Boss, everything is OK, they are all ready, this Monday, it will start to show."

"Well done, Teval, leave it to you over there, call me if you have anything to do." George put down the phone, it is better for these small countries, there are not too many measures to restrict Hollywood, which makes George very satisfied.

The box office of the movie "The Infected" is very stable, and it can break out from time to time. This time Paramount Pictures took a bet. George returned to his office happily. This time he was out of the limelight and sought it out for Paramount. A very good movie.

Compared to George's pride, Roman is even more delighted.

The crew is constantly sought after by the media, and the box office of the movie "Infected" has been rising all the way. The only thing that is not so perfect is the release of Columbia's "Spider-Man 2", which snatched the top spot of the movie "Infected" on the daily chart. But this is also expected, and Roman is not too depressed.

Just the production cost and the subsequent series of spending money on publicity can show Sony's confidence. Roman also heard that when Sony was engaged in internal screening of "Spider-Man 2", many experts gave it high praise. Now it seems that Sony is not aimless, but is really strong and confident.

At the beginning of July, Sony's "Spider-Man 2" began to explode, and the box office was also rising. Although the box office of "The Infected" has been declining, it can also earn 2 to 3 million yuan every day. After all, the audience for the two films overlaps. The degree is not high. An r-level is destined for many young boys to be unable to watch in the cinema, but Sony's "Spider-Man 2" has reaped a wave of underage kids' wallets.

Time slowly came to July 10th, and the movie "Infected", which had been released for nearly a month, surpassed 200 million with difficulty. In fact, on July 5th, that is, after nearly three weeks of screening, the box office of the movie dropped. There are more, but there is still a profit every day. Although it is very small, in order to exceed 200 million, Paramount has also insisted on more than 1,000 screening theaters. After all, it is an R-rated film, and it is not easy for the box office to break through 200 million. Innately it eliminated the main body of the movie-most of the student party. But you can't make all the **** shots mosaic in order to make money for the students. That way, this movie will have a ghostly excitement, and it's not the style of director Joe de Dubar.

On July 13, the movie "The Infected" officially went offline in North American theaters, with a final box office of 202.3 million US dollars.

Although the movie "The Infected" is offline in North America, it is still in theaters in other overseas regions and is still contributing to the film's global box office. It’s common for most overseas regions to be released for a few months. After all, they don’t produce any local movies themselves, and rely heavily on various Hollywood blockbusters. Unlike Hollywood, where there is a lot of competitive pressure, as long as the box office is not ideal, they will Just withdraw it and show other movies.

At Paramount headquarters, George is drinking coffee.

The recent George is very proud. He discovered a movie like "The Infected", which can bring at least eight-figure benefits to the company. Most of these are his credit, and he has not been praised by the president recently.

George was drinking coffee beautifully, but in his heart he wondered how to work with Roman next time. He now regards Roman as his ideal partner. The two consecutive movies are both of the same genre. Who knows if there will be a third part?

Just when George was thinking of the next collaboration, Roman was considering what type of film he should shoot. The zombie movie must not be filmed. Although Roman has several ideas that have not been filmed, it is too homogenous. Seriously, it is not conducive to the company's development. As far as he knows, many production companies have already targeted the field of zombie films and plan to shoot. When a bunch of zombie films are released, the audience will be aesthetically tired. Can't go to shoot zombie movies anymore, Roman thought for a while, this is a big pit, it's not good to plant it in.
