Chapter 297: 297

Simon is in a duplex apartment on Fifth Avenue on upper east side.

Last night, Simon got up at 6 a.m. in New York and began to prepare breakfast for them.

Today is Friday, October 6th.

Simon and Janet are leaving for another day on the Ninja Turtle set. Denise entertainment has a lot to deal with recently, and Janet has to return to her headquarters in Melbourne to take charge of the operation of the US junk bond market.

Moreover, since it is confirmed that the crisis in the US junk bond market is about to break out, it is easy to be associated with staying in New York, which is not a good thing.

The next reunion is in early November, and the Boeing 767 scheduled from Boeing is just delivered. Some of the most urgent things in their hands should be finished.

After breakfast, Janet rushes to the westrow company in midtown. Simon and Jennifer meet. First, she takes the female assistant to the New York branch building of Denise entertainment in Greenwich Village to listen to some work reports. Then, she rushes to Brooklyn, east of Manhattan. Ninja turtle is selected to shoot in Brooklyn.

It's still 6 a.m. in Los Angeles, but the box office data of the previous week have been released.

From September 29 to October 5, the 14th week of its release, Denise Entertainment's "sixth sense" received another $5.09 million, and the cumulative box office has reached $275.06 million.

Uncle buck, which opened on August 11, is also in its eighth week of release, with another $3.26 million in a single week's box office, and a total of $57.02 million. With a box office potential of about US $10 million, uncle buck is expected to become John Hughes' second highest box office performance in recent years after spring is not a day to read.

Due to the recent dispute between danielis entertainment and alista records, the box office data of bodyguard, the earliest release of the Summer Edition, has begun to close. In recent weeks, there has been a small-scale rebound. Last week, the box office of bodyguard received another 510000 US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 118.31 million US dollars.

"Bodyguard" currently has 286 screens, and it is expected that the local box office will break through the $120 million mark before its next release.

In addition, in September, gaomen film launched sweet sister and woman on the roof, which were bought from Cannes Film Festival. The two films were released on September 8 and 22 respectively.

Ella doichman has found out a set of effective radial distribution mode through the first half of the year's film distribution of metropolises, sisters, Sid sisters, etc., that is, the strategy of small-scale opening in New York, Los Angeles and other central cities to test the market reaction, and then gradually spreading to other cities.

Jane Campion's "sweet sister" has been marketed in three major cities: New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. After the word-of-mouth of the audition was recognized by the media, doechman resolutely invested $300000 in the publicity and distribution of the three cities.

"Sweet sister" opened on September 8 with 26 screens. In its first week, it made more than $19000 in revenue, with a box office revenue of $510000 in seven days.

Considering the audience of the film, the distribution team of gaomen pictures predicts that the total box office of sweet sister in North America is expected to reach $5 million.

At the beginning, gaomen pictures only paid $500000 in advance for the purchase of sweet sister. After the increase, the overall publicity cost can also be controlled within $1 million. Although it will have to pay 50% of the net box office profit of the producer in the future, the later video and TV broadcast income will all belong to Danielle Reese entertainment, and this project is also a small success.

As for "woman on the roof", gaomen film did not follow the route of stele to seek the recognition of the media. Instead, it hyped the lesbian elements and beautiful scenes in the film. Doechman also arranged for the two heroines of the film to appear in a local adult oriented men's magazine in New York.

In view of the fact that the audience doesn't like watching subtitles, gaomen film has specially made a dubbing version for this Swedish film.

Gaomen pictures has invested 300000 US dollars in film purchase, dubbing and publicity. The woman on the roof opened with 11 screens in New York on September 22 and took back 230000 US dollars in seven days. According to the $100000 publicity investment in New York, the cost has been recovered, and the box office of more than $20000 in a single museum is better than sweet sister.

However, in the second week, with the same screen size, the box office of "woman on the roof" which was still limited to New York fell by 36% from September 29 to October 5, and the box office curve was not as strong as "sweet sister". It is estimated that after several months of long-term screening, the box office in North America should reach about $3 million.

In a word, these two "small businesses" of gaomen pictures are not worth mentioning in front of such blockbuster films as Denise Entertainment's sixth sense and bodyguard, but Simon does not despise them at all. He always adheres to the attitude of treating $500000 business and $50 million business as one.

After all, a big tree is doomed to wither if it only has trunk and lacks branches and leaves. These "small businesses" are actually the branches and leaves of danielis entertainment. What's more, no one is sure whether these humble branches and leaves will suddenly become another towering tree one day.In addition to the domestic box office, some overseas box office data of bodyguard appeared in this week's report.

In this era, the overseas distribution of Hollywood films is generally more than three months later than that in China. Denise entertainment is also very cautious about the overseas distribution of "the sixth sense". Therefore, for the three summer films, only "bodyguard" has entered the overseas market in September.

During this period of time, the dispute between danielis entertainment and alista records on the original album bodyguard has become a heated one. Under the unyielding strong attitude of danielis entertainment, alista records had to accept the financial audit of danielis entertainment last week, and now it is near the end.

On the other hand, the complete suspension of the original album "bodyguard" did not impact the box office as many people imagined. This storm not only stimulated the small-scale rebound of the local box office, but also aroused the strong curiosity of overseas audiences about "bodyguard" because of its strong topic.

Overseas ticket stores began to release in the UK on September 8. In the last month or so, the cumulative revenue of the film in the UK, Spain, Italy and other ticket store countries has exceeded US $86 million, which is still in the case of Japan, France and other large ticket store countries not showing.

In my memory, the box office distribution of "bodyguard" is dominated by overseas. The box office of the film in North America is only over 100 million, but the total overseas revenue is close to 300 million US dollars. Now it seems that the film will still reproduce the original box office distribution rules.

Overseas box office has not been affected, danielis entertainment in the dispute with allista records will naturally occupy more initiative.

Because of this initiative, Simon returned to Los Angeles at the weekend. After the financial audit, alista records paid a total of US $38.25 million in cash into danilisi Entertainment's account, of which US $7.53 million was the default compensation paid by alista records to danilisi entertainment.

Danielis entertainment also took the initiative to make some "compromises" and did not disclose the specific amount of money the two sides reached a settlement, which left some face for allista records.

However, everyone in the circle knows this very well. Dannilis Entertainment's strong stance through the original album bodyguard also gives a strong warning to all other studios that have cooperative projects with dannilis Entertainment: dannilis entertainment will never compromise even if it wants to swallow dannilis Entertainment's interests in cooperation.

Los Angeles.

Fox Studios in Century City.

In the two weeks since Simon left, fox pictures has quickly completed the preparation of the first film "sleeping with the enemy" in 10 projects. The film is expected to be released in the golden schedule in June next year. Therefore, all aspects of the film will give the green light, and it will be launched later this month.

In contrast, the other three films to be released next year, "hands shaking the cradle" is expected to be released at the end of July and the beginning of August next year. The competition at the end of the summer season will not be so fierce. It is just suitable for thrillers with long-term reputation. At the same time, it can avoid competition with the same thriller "sleeping with the enemy".

The schedule of "ten days of danger" is initially confirmed to be Halloween at the end of October next year. After this year's "scream 2", the third part of the series will be suspended for one year, so there will be no internal friction at that time.

"Pink League" is expected to be scheduled for Thanksgiving in November next year, so as to avoid December's "kid in charge".

The other six of the remaining 10 films will probably be released in 1991 and 1992. Simon and many people admit that the first four films are not the focus, and the real "blockbuster" must be behind.

After a morning's "sleeping with the enemy" production meeting, everyone had lunch together. Simon was about to return to Santa Monica when he was stopped by Joe Roth and returned to Joe Roth's office in the studio.

As they sat down, Joe Ross handed over a document and said, "Simon, this is the copyright transfer agreement of terminator. The original offer of helmdale company was $3 million plus 5% of the film's Omni channel net profit share. We talked with helmdale company for a month, and the $3 million copyright fee remained unchanged. The share was changed to 5% of the film's box office net profit."

Simon took Rose's copyright transfer agreement and turned it over.

The $3 million copyright transfer price, though not as high as Simon's previous purchase of Thor King Zhongtu series, is already very high. With this money, helmdale probably won't ask for too much share any more, so it will agree to change 5% of the total channel net profit into 5% of the box office net profit.

Omni channel net profit sharing and box office net profit sharing are two completely different concepts. People who know a little bit about Hollywood accounting rules understand that Hollywood movies usually do not generate profits on the books, let alone just box office profits.

Putting down the agreement, Simon asked Ross, "where's Cameron?"

Joe Ross shook his head: "Cameron insists on directing himself, Simon. I think we can do it without him."

Simon asked, "so, have you seen Cameron's sequel script?"Joe Ross nodded: "yes, it's not bad."

Simon shrugged and said, "I've seen it, too."

They look at each other for a moment and smile bitterly together.

Since I have seen Cameron's sequel script, unless I completely abandon the idea of the liquid metal robot, if I want to get rid of Cameron, I will be prosecuted in the future. Although Joe Roth's mouth is pretty good, he obviously doesn't know the finishing touch of the liquid metal robot.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to get rid of Cameron completely.
