If it fails completely, Kevin Feige, the CEO and film producer of Marvel Studios, must be the first to take responsibility. Everyone knows this kind of thing, but no one speaks it casually. We know that Kevin Fitch has contributed a lot to the Marvel superhero movies and the brilliance they have today.

Before Stan Lee finished speaking, he pointed to Kevin Fitch and said, "Murphy Stanton wanted to cooperate with Marvel, but you rejected him because of some personal grievances. If he can join Marvel..."

"What can he do if he joins Marvel?" Kevin Firth interrupted him directly, "Is the Marvel superhero movie going to take a dark route and become like Superman or Chris Dane? "

"That's good too! It's very marketable!" Stan Lee is getting old, but his heart is not convinced, "Our Marvel heroes are not without depth!"

Everyone here knows that what Stan Lee said is not unreasonable. Many superheroes in Marvel have a black style in the comics, especially the Civil War released a few years ago. If the movie version takes a dark and deep route, It will definitely be charming.

"enough!"

Avi Allard, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but interrupted the dispute between Stan Lee and Kevin Fitch, "We are going to solve the problem now, not create it!"

He, the CEO of Marvel comics, of course will not watch Marvel's top management fall apart because of Murphy-Stanton's infighting.

Avi Allard still has some prestige, temporarily suppressing the dispute between Kevin Fitch and Stan Lee.

Then, Avi Arad changed the subject, "Let's not just focus on North America, the performance in overseas markets is still very good."

Due to the good foundation laid in the past, unlike that, it was only released in North America for the time being. Instead, it landed in many overseas markets last week, and won the box office champion in overseas markets except North America.

Avi Arad's words temporarily diverted most people's attention. Many people turned to the information in front of them and paid attention to the overseas box office situation.

In the British Isles, after five days of screenings, it earned nearly $9 million at the box office; in 579 theaters in France, it earned $6.1 million in box office; in South Korea, it won $4.7 million in 513 theaters; in Italy, it earned $3.5 million in 455 theaters. ; $4 million box office in 377 theaters in Spain.

In addition to important markets such as Europe and the Far East, it has also refreshed the number one box office in some smaller markets, such as Singapore and the Philippines. For example, in Taiwan, it earned 2.1 million US dollars at the box office; in Vietnam, 19 theaters earned 308,000 US dollars, setting a new record. A Marvel superhero movie opened in Vietnam on the third day at the box office.

In addition, Australia, where it was first released, has entered its second week of screenings, and still has a box office of 2.3 million US dollars in 226 theaters, reaching 42% of the previous week, and the cumulative box office is close to the 10 million US dollar mark.

So far, it has won a box office of 63 million US dollars in overseas markets, and the combined global box office has successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Such a global box office performance also made many people in the conference room think that the overall market response is still very good.

However, Kevin Fitch doesn't think so, and it hasn't been released overseas yet. According to the news from 20th Century Fox, this film will be launched in overseas markets on a large scale this weekend, and it will definitely be hit by then. How much will the overseas box office accumulate in the future?

He is very clear that judging from the current situation, the film will definitely not be able to recover the cost.

If that's the case, it doesn't matter, after all, this is a film that paves the way, and Marvel Studios has made enough money on two films,

Kevin Fitch's biggest worry is that the film's reputation and box office are too poor, which will inevitably drag down its release next year.

If expectations are not met, he, the CEO of Marvel Pictures, has no choice but to take the blame and resign.

Now I can only hope that the release at the end of the year can restore the reputation of some Marvel superheroes.

Although only one weekend has passed, he has to admit that, against the backdrop of Murphy Stanton, not only is it not a success, it can even be said to be a failure.

Also on Monday, the atmosphere at 20th Century Fox was very different.

"It was a smart choice to put Murphy's film at the beginning of the summer file."

Although there was no talk of a good start in North America, the first film released in the summer season surpassed expectations and won the box office championship. The executives of 20th Century Fox were still rejoicing, "Kara, you did a good job this time."

The speaker was James Murdoch, the new co-chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

Kara Firth smiled, but didn't say much. The two were once classmates in high school.

In fact, she knew that James Murdoch chose to come to 20th Century Fox because of the troubles he encountered in the UK.

James Murdoch is ambitious and is regarded by the outside world as the most suitable successor to Rupert Murdoch. He fully supports his high school classmate Kara Firth and lays the foundation for his future at 20th Century Fox .

Although he previously served as the CEO of Sky TV, James Murdoch has been staring at 20th Century Fox. After graduating from high school, he chose journalism and business administration differently from Kara Firth. Majoring in film and literature, in order to be able to enter the Twentieth Century Fox.

For the Hollywood film industry, James - Murdoch is not a complete layman.

"Karla, you and Murphy are good friends," James Murdoch asked. "When does he plan to shoot the second part?"

Twentieth Century Fox has invested 300 million U.S. dollars in the production and publicity of the film. Unless the box office trend of a single film is extremely strong and it finally gets a big number, it may be difficult to recover the investment in a short time. As the company's CEO, James Murdoch must consider return on investment.

Kara Firth shook his head, "I don't know, he didn't say that."

James Murdoch frowned, "Didn't you ask?"

"No." Kara Firth said directly, "If Murphy wants to tell me, he will naturally say it."

"Oh?" James Franco didn't quite understand the way Kara Firth and Murphy got along.

"According to Murphy's character and way of working."

Although he is a good friend, James Murdoch is always a boss, Kara Firth explained, "After that, he will plan the next movie soon."

She looked at James Murdoch, "However, it probably won't be the next one. I heard Robert Downey Jr. mentioned that he had an agreement with a friend to shoot a biographical gangster movie. "

"A gangster-type biographical film?" James Murdoch has just taken office, but he has enough understanding, so he said directly, "Anyway, I only have one request. Twentieth Century Fox is still the producer and sponsor of this film." Issuer!"

"I don't guarantee that the next film will be this one." Kara Firth actually knows that Gal Gadot is very opposed to Murphy's shooting of the Ross biopic, and Gal Gadot can be said to be the only one in the world who can let Murphy know. Murphy is the one who changes the decision. She thought for a moment and said, "As long as our conditions are not worse than those of other companies, Murphy is definitely inclined to continue to cooperate with 20th Century Fox."

James Murdoch nodded slightly, this is not a problem, they have always attached great importance to talents who can create outstanding value.

Thinking of this, James Murdoch asked, "I haven't been here for a long time, but I also learned some things. Twentieth Century Fox and Murphy's Stanton Studio have a cooperative relationship on multiple projects. In the continuing cooperation, there are still some cooperation projects, and the copyrights are in the hands of the two companies at the same time."

Kara Feith looked sideways at James Murdoch, vaguely guessing what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, James Murdoch tentatively asked, "If 20th Century Fox acquires Stanton Studios, would Murphy be willing to sell it?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Kara Firth said honestly, "Murphy is not short of money."

She is quite familiar with this aspect, not to mention Murphy's director's remuneration and high proportion of dividends. In 2008, when Hollywood was short of money caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, he invested in several films. high returns.

If you don't count the property you will inherit in the future, if you only talk about your current personal net worth, James Murdoch may not be as good as Murphy.

James Murdoch understood that even if he wanted to buy, he couldn't rush, saying, "Let's talk about that later."

Kara Firth didn't say anything more, but she knew very well that it was unlikely that Murphy would sell Stanton Studios. This film and television production company, which is still only a shell company, is not only related to 20th Century Fox and others. The company cooperates in the production of movies and TV series, and actually undertakes multiple tasks such as Murphy's tax exemption and tax avoidance. It would be too much trouble for someone like Murphy to throw away and get another one.

After a few steps back and forth in the office, James Murdoch said again, "Give me Murphy's contact information, I will hold a party in a while, and I will invite him personally."

Now that he has come to Los Angeles, he must take good care of his interpersonal network.

Kara Firth left Murphy's personal contact information, and then left James Murdoch's office to continue the busy publicity work. The film wants to get an excellent box office on weekdays and cannot relax in the slightest.
