Chapter 254

After entering the working day, the box office of "House of Death" began to decline sharply. The trend of bad movies cannot be as strong as films with good reputations. On the first working day of the release, the box office on Monday plummeted by nearly 75% compared with Sunday, earning $1.38 million.

After the first weekend of promotion and marketing, as many viewers as possible were brought into the theater, the side effects of a very bad reputation began to appear.

Moreover, Ronan and the theater distribution department of Embassy Film also had some expectations for this situation, so naturally they would not invest money to do useless work in publicity.

Another news that may become a hot spot for publicity is that Eric, one of the parties involved, has temporarily hidden himself and not shown up, and the so-called foot washing water heater is also decreasing.

Such things can never be slapped, and there are tit-for-tat conversations. Only by confronting each other can we continue to create hot topics.

The film critic's professional ethics is really low, so he dares not do it.

There is no way, not everyone has the courage to drink foot washing water, even the white and rich and beautiful foot washing water is the same.

Eric just wanted to take this opportunity to make a lot of money, not yet crazy.

Films like "House of Death" are destined to have a burst and fall quickly.

Time is getting closer to the traditional summer season, and more blockbusters are ready to go. On the last weekend of April, "The Speed ​​Race" released by Warner Bros. and starring Sylvester Stallone started painting in North America. Although the first week of $12.17 million was a very failed for the production cost of $72 million, it easily snatched the throne of the North American box office champion from "House of Death".

On the second weekend of its release, "House of Death" plummeted 70% compared with its first week, with only $5.67 million being recorded, directly falling out of the top five in the box office list.

These ups and downs are like the lives of some people.

Although the decline is terrible, compared to the investment in this film, Ronan and Relativity Entertainment still make a lot of money.

The total investment of this film is only $9 million in production and promotional distribution. It only took ten days to release the film and earned $28.55 million in North America.

Even if the subsequent plunge continues to plummet, the North American box office of "House of Death" can easily exceed the $30 million mark.

At the same time, Embassy Pictures also pushed the film into many overseas markets on the last weekend in April. The North American box office that was hit hard in the first week somewhat affected the movie choices of overseas audiences.

In Europe, in addition to the selling point of Paris Hilton, the promotional aspect has also been promoted as the German genius director Uvi Ball.

As for publicity and hype, of course you have to blow hard.

If it weren't for the serious lack of qualifications in Uvi Ball, Ronan would have dared to let Uvi Ball kill Roland Emmeric in the publicity and become the number one commercial director in Germany.

"House of Death" was released overseas for the first week. Although the box office performance was far inferior to North America, it also satisfies Ronan.

In 15 countries and regions including Latin America, Europe and Australia, House of Death earned $5.58 million in the first week of overseas box office.

Embassy Pictures made an estimate based on the situation after its overseas release, predicting that the final overseas box office of the film should be around 10 million US dollars.

The production cost is 1.2 million US dollars and the global box office is 40 million US dollars. This result is quite good even in the entire Hollywood.

Especially the terrifying input-output ratio.

In fact, some comments from overseas media can also reflect the true situation of this video.

For example, German Biography said: "House of Death" is indeed very bad, but it is not useless, and there are still highlights.

Perhaps this is also why Uvi Ball's German compatriots are more tolerant of him.

While Ronan received overseas box office data, he also received news that Uvi Ball went to Irvine City and contacted people from Blizzard headquarters, hoping to win the copyright of the movie "Warcraft".

It is said that Uvi Ball was rejected by Blizzard one after another, but he did not give up and stayed at Blizzard headquarters and refused to leave.

Wu Bao is quite persistent and has the attitude of not returning to Los Angeles without getting the copyright.

Ronan specifically checked online. "Warcraft 3" has not been released yet, and "World of Warcraft" is probably still early.

If Wu Bao made a movie adapted by Warcraft now, will he be beaten to death by crazy Warcraft fans in the future?

Especially for fans of the East, maybe the tribe and the alliance will unite and treat Wu Bao as a big villain.

If Wu Bao really wants to make an adapted movie about Warcraft, or a bad movie, if "World of Warcraft" is released in Blizzard's style, Wu Bao will definitely be included in the book and will be taken countless times by men.

Ronan has never played World of Warcraft, but he has seen many related memes online, such as Tyrande's Banana, Three War Hunter, My name is Weapon War, and Orcs never wash their hair.

It is said that there is also a socialite selling luxury goods in the game, also known as Paris Hilton.

What impressed him the most was a news release in the form of news that was not sure whether it was true or false.

It is said that a son who is a fan of Warcraft's birthday, and he doesn't play games decided to celebrate his father well. He specially made a gift. On the day of his father's birthday, he gave him a handful of frost and sadness, and ended up sending himself to the hospital with a gift...

Ronan suddenly thought of something. If Wu Bao obtained the copyright of the Warcraft movie and he went to serve as the producer, would Blizzard send him into the copy too?

This is a question and needs to be considered carefully.

As long as Wu Bao can get the copyright, investment will definitely require investment. At worst, it is like "House of Death", which will hire an external producer.

Ronan checked the files on the office software and slowly hummed a song that ran out of tune to Mount Everest: Be careful, be careful, the daughter of the sea...

Humming a song and processing the documents, Ronan's thinking was particularly active. If he came to the Alps again... no, he should have been the Everest Candy, which was a specialty of his hometown, would be even better.

Most of the working documents are related to movies. Currently, Shahai Entertainment is in preparation for several movies including "Legend of the Night" and "Death Comes 2". "Spy Shadows" and "The Deadly Curve" have been filmed and will be released in the next few months. The filming of "Resident Evil" has ended. The crew is temporarily on holiday and will be transferred to post-production after May.

In addition, "Hurricane Rescue" and "Human Purge 3" have entered the script creation stage, the latter will enter the actual preparation and shooting stage in the second half of the year, and the former will have to wait until next year.

Next is "Grey's Anatomy". Ronan just contacted Shanda Remus a few days ago. The black female crawled into the hospital in Seattle and has not yet come out.

As for the script, it is quite far from completion.

As a screenwriter, I am not writing a medical drama that sells dog meat under the guise of sheep, which requires a lot of field investigation experience and professional knowledge.

According to what Shanda Remus told Ronan, she found that she had thought it was too simple before. If she wanted to complete such a script, she would have to stay in the hospital for at least a few months.

Ronan also supported this dedication and professionalism.

The project has signed a contract and is in hand, so there is no rush to start. Since you want to invest in filming, you must produce high-quality dramas.

As we all know, unlike the film industry, screenwriters and scripts in the American drama industry are quite critical, and even more important than directors.

Ronan is also asking for more information in the circle to see if there are any investment movies or TV series projects. If it hits him, it might be a good project.

Shahai Entertainment takes the finest route in production, which is also determined by Ronan's unique experience.

Most Hollywood film companies, such as the six major companies, shoot and produce about ten movies every year and release more than ten movies. Although they are the best, they also have the gambling elements. Hollywood gradually switches to financing shooting strategies, and as long as one-third or even fewer films succeed, the film companies will be enough to make a profit.

The number of productions of Shahai Entertainment is much smaller than that of the six majors, but it is a project designated by Ronan that is very likely to generate large profits.

After all, Ronan's company size and capital are far from comparable to the six major companies. In addition, last year, there were four or five projects with a cost of more than 10 million yuan, which was close to the number of producers of many medium-sized companies with weak strength.

Most of Hollywood's medium-sized companies only shoot about five films every year.

Of course, this is not considered a release of movies from other companies.

Shahai Entertainment also has a large number of adaptation rights, such as Marvel's superheroes, such as the film rights of two series of toys, and some copyrights of other works that Ronan instructed to buy,

These can ensure that Shahai Entertainment will not lack the subject matter of shooting and production.

Koch Film from Germany and mountain foundation from India can give Shahai Entertainment a relatively stable overseas financing channel.

The scale of Shahai Entertainment is also expanding slowly and gradually. As we move forward step by step, the roadbed is very strong.

Speaking of which, the biggest flaw of the entire company is that it does not have a large-scale film library.

This kind of thing is not too urgent. The film library of any medium-sized company cannot be obtained without hundreds of millions of dollars.

Luo Nan now lacks the channels to directly operate the copyright of the film library, so we cannot be anxious about this.

Entering May, the North American film market opened the hottest summer season of the year. The first big-produced commercial film released this summer season has a good start. Universal Pictures' "Mummy 2" has achieved great commercial success, and North America won nearly $70 million in the first week.

Universal Pictures monsters once again rage the screen.

Since Universal Pictures had firmly grasped the copyright many years ago, Ronan could only watch and perhaps find another way to shoot the animated version of the monsters, which was enough to bypass Universal Pictures' live-action film copyright.

But this requires an animation studio.

Ronan can only continue to look for opportunities.

Corresponding to the film market is the downturn in the stock market. From March last year to May this year, the stock markets led by Nasdaq Internet stocks were all comparing who fell more miserably.
