Chapter 2684 Great News!

Good movies and good reputation have made "Avatar" a huge success since it was released.

Originally, someone was laughing at Cameron, who had lost confidence, and did not follow the rules of blockbuster films, premiering at 12 o'clock on Friday night, but at 12 o'clock on Monday night.

As a result, the dazzling results of "Avatar" directly swollen their faces.

On the first day, the global box office reached 170 million US dollars, and on the second day, the global box office exceeded 180 million US dollars. By Thursday, it dropped to 120 million US dollars, but the total box office in the following three days directly exceeded 500 million US dollars.

"Avatar", which was officially released in the first week, shocked the film industry, movie fans and unrelated people all over the world with a global box office of 970 million US dollars.

At this time, no one doubts whether "Avatar" can break the record of "Titanic". What they care about is how much Cameron can raise this record!

This is a carnival for movie fans, and a feast for investors and theaters.

Fans called their friends to watch it over and over again, and discussed it on the Internet, almost crushing all the news.

Naturally, the investors and the theaters that screened the movie made a lot of money.

The first week's box office was 970 million US dollars. After deducting the box office share, taxes, etc., 20th Century Fox can get at least 300 million US dollars, and their production cost is only 230 million US dollars.

It means that not only did they get their money back in the first week, but they also made a net profit of 70 million US dollars!

Don't watch a movie, don't look at it, it's 200-300 million, 300-500 million US dollars at the box office, in fact, a blockbuster movie with a box office profit of 7000 US dollars is not bad! More blockbuster films will lose money even when they are screened, and in the end they can only be considered profitable by making money from peripheral rights such as DVDs.

Now in just the first week, 20th Century Fox has already earned 70 million, and every day after that is pure profit. Why don't you think they are happy?

Today's most conservative estimate is that the global box office of "Avatar" will exceed 2 billion US dollars, and 20th Century Fox's profit will definitely exceed 300 million US dollars! Coupled with surrounding rights and interests, etc., at least the profit should be calculated to be between 600 and 800 million US dollars.

then. After the first week's box office results came out, 20th Century Fox directly sent Cameron a cash check of 50 million US dollars as a reward for his hard work.

This is just a reward, the share of Cameron's director and producer. Then it has to be settled slowly.

Of course, there are also reasons for 20th Century Fox's mending relationship.

After all, when Cameron was running for the number of screens for "Avatar", 20th Century Fox didn't help much, and they generally didn't look very optimistic about "Avatar".

The result now proves that "Avatar" is a super money-absorbing weapon, and Cameron is still the "King of the Movie World". For the future "Avatar" trilogy, in order to have the title of the world's first box office record, 20th Century Fox will of course spend a lot of money to express its apology.

Cameron naturally likes money, and he also knows what 20th Century Fox means, so he naturally accepts it.

But at the same time, he also sighed that Xiao Qi is not only unparalleled in financial talent, but also has an outstanding vision in the film industry.

You only need to look at how he bought out the copyright of Kiwi Huaguo Cinema Line for 10 million US dollars, and you can see how cost-effective it is.

According to the gathered information. Within a week, the box office of the Kiwi movie theater line directly exceeded 40 million US dollars, accounting for 70% of the box office of "Avatar" at Huaguo Cinemas during the same period.

The main reason is, of course, that 80% of the 3D and IMAX screens in Huaguo Cinemas are in the Kiwi Cinema line, and of course the largest part of the income goes to them.

Considering that they bought out the copyright for 10 million US dollars, the profit in the first week has doubled, which is even more exaggerated than 20th Century Fox.

Similarly, their future response can last for two or three months, and the profit may exceed 200 million US dollars!

Before the release of "Avatar", who would have expected that the Kiwi movie theater chain could generate so much income in China? At the beginning, 20th Century Fox thought that the copyright fee of 10 million US dollars was a good sale!

This is just the Kiwi Huaguo Cinema Line. Because of the full support for "Avatar", Kiwi's North American and European theaters also had a frighteningly high attendance rate during this week.

According to the statistics of the research company, if the box office of "Avatar" can exceed 2 billion US dollars. This time, the global theater chains earned at least US$1.2 billion from "Avatar," and at least one-third of this amount belonged to the Kiwi theater chain.

A movie can earn 400 million U.S. dollars, which really makes people feel that the money for movies is so easy to make!

But others are also envious of not coming to Kiwi Cinemas.

Because firstly, it gave "Avatar" the greatest filming support, and secondly, they have the most 3D and IMAX screens in the world, and they who are the most prepared will naturally earn the most.

In "Avatar" all the way triumphantly. The U.S. Department of Commerce, the Foreign Investment Committee, and the Nasdaq Exchange jointly issued a communiqué stating that Fairy Company’s acquisition of Disney’s business activities complies with U.S. laws and regulations, and the privatization plan has been approved by 90% of minority shareholders. I agree, so I allow Fairy Company to officially privatize and delist Disney from now on.

This announcement aroused strong repercussions all over the world, and the people of Huaguo felt like they were having a festival. All the major newspapers praised Xiao Qi's greatness one after another.

The Japanese media is a bit sour, because from now on, among the six giants of Hollywood, not only is their Asian company, but also a more powerful Fairy Company.

Moreover, compared with Columbia and MGM, Disney is much larger in terms of profitability and influence, especially it also owns Disneyland, one of the three major theme parks in the world, which is irresistible to all children O paradise, with this, there is a treasure that will never run dry!

Starting from the government announcement, Disney has officially started various privatization and delisting work.

From a legal point of view, Fairy Company is not the sole owner of Disney, but in fact, Disney is already Xiao Qi's private property.

Therefore, Disney's management directly gave fans several big gifts.

"Disney has reached an agreement with Marvel to launch at least ten hero movies in the next five years, including Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Hawkeye, Flash, Avengers, etc. Heroes and teams will appear on the big screen!"

"Disney Pictures has reached a preliminary agreement with director James Cameron, and he will direct a trilogy of youth sci-fi action movies, with a total initial budget of 500 million US dollars!"

"Disneyland has already actively negotiated with Huaguo, and plans to open four Disney theme parks in Huaguo in the next ten years, so that fans in the East can better experience Disney's animation culture!"

After such a piece of news was released, it immediately spread all over the world, second only to the recent popularity of "Avatar".

Comics fans are naturally rejoicing and telling everyone.

Seeing "Spiderman", "Superman", "Fantastic Four", "Iron Man" and so on have been put on the screen, but more and better heroes are still in sight, which makes comic fans My heart is indescribably anxious.

They grew up watching these comics, who wouldn't want their idols to appear on the big screen?

However, limited to a variety of technologies, there was no way to make live-action movies of these comic characters, and Marvel did not have such great strength, and it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot these movies.

Well now, with the investment of a super rich man like Xiao Qi, these heroes can finally meet everyone on the big screen as soon as possible, just thinking about it makes me feel very happy.

If the first news is the gospel of many comic fans, then the second news has caused even greater waves among movie fans all over the world.

After "Titanic", Cameron hardly made any films. Everyone thought he had entered a semi-retirement. Unexpectedly, such an "Avatar" came out suddenly, which made everyone wonder about it. The movie king is full of expectations again.

It's just that Cameron's efficiency is too low. It took 10 years to shoot an "Avatar", and I don't know if the next one will have to wait another ten years.

Now that Disney and Cameron have reached an agreement, since it is a trilogy, one can be released in at most two or three years, so it won't be too long to wait!

As for the question of whether the film is good or not, would it be bad if Cameron's script could impress him? How could Cameron smash his own brand? !

The third piece of good news is more targeted, and of course most of the happy ones are only Chinese people.

Before Disneyland, there were only five in total, two in the United States, one in Japan, one in Paris, and one in Hong Kong.

Leaving other places aside, if fans from Huaguo want to go to Disneyland, they have to go to Hong Kong. This consumes a lot of energy, money and time, and it feels like a waste of money.

Moreover, the reception capacity of Hong Kong Disneyland is too small. It is only 126 hectares, which is basically only one percent of the size of Disneyland in Florida. The crowded Disneyland makes many people feel uncomfortable when they go to play.

Now that four Disneylands are going to be built in Huaguo in one go, then the Disney fans in Huaguo will be blessed, and although there are four, Huaguo has a population of 1.5 billion, which can be digested completely!

Thinking of going to Disneyland to play every now and then, the satisfaction in the hearts of Huaguo fans is simply not to be mentioned! (~^~)
