Planning ahead for Marvel Comics

There is also the issue of scheduling.

But the reaction of black filmmakers gave them a basic impression that the film might be a big hit.

As a movie with an investment of 3 million US dollars, as long as the box office reaches 10 million, it will be able to make a return. Of course, if the cost of publicity and marketing is included, the full 20 million box office will not lose money.

Subsequent licensing of DVDs and other channels can also make money.

And based on the quality of the film they have experienced, as long as the film gets a good schedule and the number of big screens, 100% will not lose money.

Jeff Robinoff came to Kevin's side with a smile.

"Congratulations, you have successfully produced an excellent work."

Shay also leaned over and said:

"Director Kevin, the total box office of Chainsaw has already come out. I just took this opportunity to settle it for you today?"

The quality of Kevin's new films has been recognized in their internal review. In this case, Kevin, who can continuously produce high-quality films, will naturally have a different status in their eyes.

Normally, if the box office share of a movie can be settled within a year after the movie is released, it means that the film company has no intention of cheating them.

In the face of Kevin, only three months after the release, New Line Films took the initiative to give him the box office share.

I have to say that this represents the importance that New Line Films places on him.

At the same time, it also represents the importance that New Line Films attaches to its cooperation with him.

Facing the kindness of the new line, Kevin naturally would not refuse.

The release of the film in North America for three months also means that the global box office has come out. The total global box office score of 166 million US dollars is the total score achieved by Chainsaw.

A 5% share of the box office means a share of about $8 million, which is also a large amount. Of course, this amount is far from enough for New Line Films to turn against him.

With Kevin's ability, continuing to cooperate will only help them earn an unknown number of eight million.

Therefore, not only did they not do any tricks, but the speed of the account was also fast enough.

Otherwise, this amount will be held for a year or two, and there will also be a lot of interest.

After the New Line Film Company got the share of the money, Kevin also had no free time in the next days. Under the insistence of Kevin, he chose to release it on May 1st.

After investigation, there are no blockbusters released at this time point.

Or maybe there is, but it's almost the end, and the theaters are gradually reducing the number of their films.

There are probably less than 2,000 movie theaters in North America, and more than 20,000 big screens.

At the beginning of its release, Chainsaw was directly qualified for 800 movie theaters. In fact, the scale is already very large.

The follow-up film arrangement is that the cinema has adjusted itself according to the Chainsaw Horror.

The fact that it was able to obtain such a large release scale was naturally due to the major investment and sequel films that had already been released at that time.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey of Chainsaw is the king himself.

Of course, this is inseparable from the channels of New Line Cinema in North America.

Screening in so many cinemas at the same time is not something that just any film company can do. Having this channel means that the scale of the company is at least medium and large in Hollywood.

As for the Big Five in Hollywood, the biggest difference from other film companies is the overseas distribution. Of course, their own theater chain is also their advantage.

The five have complete distribution capabilities overseas. If a movie is a big hit in North America, it must cooperate with them if they want to make profits overseas.

Otherwise, at most, you can only earn this amount of money in North America.

This is the reason why the Big Five can be called the Big Five.

...

"The screening of Escape from the Dead Town will be held in three days?"

Harvey Weinstein's face darkened when he received the news, and he still remembered what happened at the Beverly Hills party.

Steve Kevin was the first person to make him feel so unhappy since founding Miramax.

Rubbing his chin, he stood on the high-rise building of the company and looked out from the glass.

Harvey Weinstein thinks about stumbling Steve Kevin.

At least he can't be so proud, there is no one who dares to reject him like Harvey Weinstein without paying any price.

However, to be specific, we still have to wait for the screening to find out specific problems based on his movies.

In this regard, Harvey Weinstein is very reassured, and he still knows a lot of film critics.

-------------------------------------

Three days later, Warner Bros. headquarters.

Some middle-aged white people dressed very formally and looked like elites walked into the building one after another.

These people are well-known film critics with a certain reputation in the entire United States, and each of them has a certain influence on the selection of movies by fans.

A total of forty or fifty film critics will spend a total of millions of public relations costs.

From this investment, it is enough to know the confidence of Warner Bros. in escaping from the fatal town. Of course, this announcement cost is also shared by Kevin and New Line Films.

In addition to film critics, reporters from some media are also invited.

The normal movie screening process is usually a trial screening, that is, an internal screening meeting.

Used to make a preliminary quality assessment of the film.

When the quality of the film is sufficient, the second time is the screening. At this time, all professionals who are helpful to the promotion of the film are invited.

After the screening is over, it will initially create a good reputation for the film.

Then came the premiere and the official screening.

The screening did not require Kevin's participation, just after the film critics participated in the screening of the film, after taking a share of the box office of $80.2 million from New Line Cinema.

Kevin arrives at the headquarters of a comics publisher.

...

Perelman, the boss of Marvel, agreed curiously when he heard that a well-known director came to see him.

Inside the boss' office at Marvel Comics.

With a Mediterranean hairstyle, wearing a standard suit and smoking a cigar, Kevin's first impression was that the man in front of him was a very successful billionaire.

In fact it is.

Ronald Perelman, who has a net worth of more than one billion US dollars, will be ranked 83rd in the "Hurun Global Top 100 Entrepreneurs" with a fortune of 100 billion yuan on April 6, 2020.

There is no doubt that a rich man of his level is not always in a certain industry.

Marvel Comics was acquired by him only two years ago. After two years of operation, he finally listed the successful operation of Marvel Comics.
