Chapter 304 Because of the Shares, some People Are Happy and Others Are Sad

August 15.

The animated film "Finding Nemo" has been released in North America for a full 10 days.

As of yesterday, the film has achieved a box office of 128 million US dollars in North America, and the daily box office is still very impressive, winning 10 consecutive daily box office champions.

A decent hit movie.

It will all the movies released at the same time, all pressed under the body and breathless.

In the film market of overseas countries, "Finding Nemo" will soon land in Mexico, Chile, Brazil and other Central and South American countries;

The film markets in Europe, Asia, Australia and other countries and regions are also negotiating intensively with Wald Films as the distributor, and it is not expected to waste too much time. After all, Finding Nemo was too hot.

A number of box office data analysis companies in the United States have made a series of analysis and reports on the final box office of "Finding Nemo".

$300 million!

"Only in North America, the final box office of Finding Nemo will never be less than $300 million."

This is a professional evaluation made by many analysis companies based on market supply and demand, film reputation and other aspects.

Well-known Hollywood film analyst - Cord Howell.

In the new issue of "Hollywood Weekly", he wrote: "Finding Nemo is an extremely rare and high-quality movie among animated films, and it will surely earn more than 300 million US dollars at the North American box office. In 1999, the North American annual box office list, It's going to be in the top three."

The annual box office must be in the top three?

I have to say, this is a very high compliment.

But... Hollywood's major film companies expressed dissatisfaction.

"Why is the "Finding Nemo" movie firmly in the top three of the box office charts?"

"It's only August, and there are still a few months before the end of the year. Who will win and who will lose, can you be sure?"

"When we were film companies, didn't it exist?"

"Furthermore,

The Big Six in Hollywood are not vegetarians. "

Artisan Entertainment, DreamWorks Pictures, New Line Cinema, Miramax Pictures...

The bosses and executives of Hollywood's top second-tier film companies were a little furious. Jealousy, unwillingness, resentment and other emotions pervade their hearts.

But.

Cod Howell wrote in Hollywood Weekly, citing a handful of rare examples of studios stumbling over the list of movies to release in the coming months.

Disagree... no.

Cord Howell is able to break into such a big name in Hollywood, that is definitely something special.

"This year's box office champion is definitely "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace"!"

"Since it was released in May, the film has achieved a box office of 392 million US dollars in North America. Its final North American box office landing point is steadily entering 400 million US dollars; so far, the film's global box office data has been Over $800 million, and eventually $900 million, it's inevitable!"

Who can beat the $900 million global box office?

In the years without "Titanic", "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" is a giant-like existence.

Even though the film "Finding Nemo" has not yet been released in overseas countries and regions, according to the popularity of animated films, its overseas box office is predictable and can be expected.

Cord Howell also pointed out in the article "Hollywood Weekly": "As for the next few months, Hollywood's major, medium and small film companies will produce very few movies that can The existence of "Star Wars Episode 1" and "Finding Nemo"."

Columbia Pictures' "Little Mouse"?

"It's not as good as "Finding Nemo," and it's only $200 million at the North American box office;

Warner Bros. Pictures' "Miracle in the Green Mile"?

“NO~NO~NO~”

"I don't deny that Tom Hanks, who played the leading role in the "Miracle in the Green Mile" movie, is an excellent actor, but the box office has nothing to do with acting."

"The Green Mile is going to be a good box office hit, but it's definitely not going to make more than $300 million in North America."

In the next article, Cod Howell made professional estimates for other Hollywood studios and their upcoming films.

American Beauty by DreamWorks Pictures;

007: Black Sun by MGM;

"Double Crisis" by Paramount Pictures;

Miramax's "The Genius Ripley";

Universal Pictures' "Apocalypse";

......

Although these films have not yet been released in North America, many people are convinced by Cod Howell's considerations based on factors such as production costs, market analysis, supply and demand, film types, and film ratings.

Miramax Films.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

President Harvey Weinstein put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed: "First it was "My Grand Greek Wedding", then "300 Spartans", and now "Finding Nemo", tsk tsk tsk! This year's Wall De Films has become so strong~!"

......

Paramount Pictures.

"Promise him, agree to their participation!"

As the boss, Summer Redstone stared at Shirley Lansing and Jordan in front of him, and said solemnly: "He, Zucker Wald, didn't want to develop Tomb Raider together with us. A series? I can nod yes, but... Jordan, you told Zucker that he had to be the producer of Tomb Raider himself."

"Yes, boss." Jordan agreed.

"Boss, this..."

President Shirley Lansing wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Redstone.

"Shirley, I know what you want to say, but we Paramount should not be silent again, we and Zucker will cooperate again, and we are the ones who will benefit." Redstone said loudly.

"Yes, boss."

Shirley Lansing was a little unwilling.

Inviting Zucker to serve as the first producer of "Tomb Raider", then where will she save Shirley Lansing as the president of Paramount Pictures?

How the situation is stronger than the people!

In recent years, all the films in which Zucker served as a producer have achieved very significant box office!

......

at the same time.

Based on the news that Water World Animation is allotted shares and is about to go public, the entire Jin Shuguang Group can be said to be happy and sad.

Hundreds of Waterworld Animation's employees, including the duo of Stephen Solenberg and David Messer, will share a 12 percent stake in the rights issue.

The other 3% of the shares will be given as an option reward to the executives of Jin Shuguang Group outside the Water World Animation Company.

So who can share it?

Group CEO Victor;

Ms. Donna, Senior Vice President of the Group;

Ms. Martha, Chief Financial Officer of the Group;

and several other executives. That's right, only a few people can share the 3% option reward.

Old Bill, president of Wald Pictures: "I don't care. If I work for another year or two, I will retire. It's useless to ask for options."

Kevin Feige, vice president of Wald Pictures: "Waterworld Animation is from Wald Pictures, yes, but it is now an independent subsidiary. If I want option rewards, I will only want Wald Pictures. Not to mention I’m still young, I’m not in a hurry.”

Domino of Jin Shuguang Records: "Hehe, I'm not in a hurry. I have singers such as Eminem, Beyonce, Britney, Linkin Park, etc., are you afraid that there will be no option rewards in the future?"

People in charge of the uterus such as Jin Shuguang Publishing, Manchester City Club, and Under Armour Sporting Goods Company are naturally envious. But the listing of Water World Animation has little to do with them, and the options naturally don't have their share.

But... there is one person, and he has tasted it.

It can even be said that there are some complaints against Zucker.

SpongeBob SquarePants President - Hashimoto Taro!

"This time without my options!"

"Unwilling~"

There was a taste in his heart, a little unbalanced. He believes that just discovering Bez dolls by himself and contributing to the company is enough to get the option reward of Water World Animation, but... not.

" "The second is sent. please support~
