Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

There is also the problem of scheduling.

However, the reaction of black viewers gave them a basic impression that the film could be a big hit.

As a film with an investment of three million US dollars, the box office can return as long as it reaches 10 million, of course, if you count the cost of publicity and marketing, the box office will not lose money if it is 20 million.

Subsequent DVD and other licensing can also make money.

Judging from the quality of the film they have experienced, as long as this film achieves a good schedule and the number of big screens, it will not lose money 100%.

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

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

Shay also came over and said:

"Director Kevin, the total box office of Chainsaw has come out, just take this opportunity to settle for you today?"

The quality of Kevin's new films has been recognized in their internal review, and since this is the case, Kevin, who can continuously produce high-quality movies, naturally has a different status in their eyes.

Normally, the box office share of a movie can be settled within a year after the movie is released, and the film company has no intention of pitting them.

In the face of Kevin, only three months after the release, New Line Film Company took the initiative to hand over the box office share to him.

I have to say that this represents the importance that New Line Film Company attaches to him.

At the same time, it also represents the importance that New Line Film Company attaches to his cooperation.

In the face of the kindness of the new line, Kevin naturally will not refuse.

Three months after the North American release, it also means that the global box office has come out, and the total global box office result of 166 million US dollars is the total result achieved by Chainsaw.

A five-percent box office share means a share of about $8 million, which is also a lot of money, of course, this amount is far from enough for New Line Films to turn his face with him.

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

So not only did I not do anything, but I also arrived at the account quickly.

Otherwise, if this amount is held for a year or two, 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 following days, and the schedule chose to be released on May Day under Kevin's insistence.

After investigation, no blockbusters were released at this point in time.

Or there is, but they are nearing the end, and the theaters are gradually reducing the number of their films.

In North America, there are probably less than 2,000 movie theaters, and the number of big screens is more than 20,000.

At the beginning of its release, Chainsaw Horror directly obtained the qualification for 800 cinemas, which is actually very large.

The subsequent arrangement of films is that the cinema adjusts itself according to the chainsaw.

It was natural to be able to get such a large release scale because of the large investment at that time and the sequel movies had already been released.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the chainsaw horror of this monkey himself is king.

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

Releasing in so many cinemas at the same time is not done by any single film company, and having this channel means that the size of the company is at least medium to large in Hollywood.

As for the big five in Hollywood, the biggest difference with other film companies is actually in overseas distribution, of course, their own theaters are also their advantages.

The Big Five have complete distribution capabilities overseas, and a movie that is a big hit in North America wants to earn profits overseas, and must cooperate with them.

Otherwise, you can only make North American money at most.

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

"Three days later, hold a screening party to escape from Desperate Town?"

Harvey Weinstein, who received the news, turned dark, and he still remembered what happened to him at the Beverly Hills party.

Since founding Miramax Company, Steve Kevin is the first person who makes him feel so uncomfortable.

Rubbing his chin, he stood on the company's tall building and looked out through the glass.

Harvey Weinstein pondered to trip Steve Kevin.

At least he can't be so proud that the person who dares to reject him Harvey Weinstein so much without paying any price does not exist.

But specifically, it is still necessary to wait for the screening to find specific problems according to his films.

Harvey Weinstein is very relieved at this point, he still knows many film critics.

Three days after -------------------------------------

, Warner Bros. headquarters.

Some middle-aged white people who were dressed very formally and looked like elites walked into the building.

These people are the entire United States, famous film critics with a certain reputation, each of whom has a certain influence on the choice of movies by fans.

Forty or fifty film critics, a total of millions of public relations costs.

From this investment, it is enough to know Warner Bros.'s confidence in escaping from Desperate Town, of course, this publicity cost is also shared by Kevin and New Line Film Company.

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

The normal film screening process is generally a preview screening, that is, an internal viewing meeting.

It is used to make a preliminary quality assessment of the film.

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

After the end of the point screening, it initially creates a good reputation for the film.

Then came the premiere and the official screening.

The screening did not require Kevin's participation, and when the critics participated in the film's screening, they received a box office share of eight million and twenty million US dollars from New Line Films.

Kevin arrives at the headquarters of a comic book publisher.

...

Perelman, the owner of Marvel, heard that a well-known director came to his door to ask for a meeting, and he agreed curiously.

Inside the boss's office at Marvel Comics.

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

In fact, too.

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

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

Marvel Comics, which he only acquired two years ago, and after two years of operation, he finally took the successful operation of Marvel Comics to the public.
