Hollywood Starts with Animation

Aug. 6.

Finding Nemo was released in 2,960 theaters across the United States.

Thanks to the recent publicity of money and the good reputation of the premiere of the power supply, the number of theaters on the premiere day of the power supply is more than 300 higher than the 2,600 theaters expected when the contract was signed.

The situation is good!

Different from the period of death in July, where countless blockbusters and hot films gathered, this period in early August is definitely a rare good period, and there are only two movies that can be worthy of a battle.

They are:

The movie "Tianluodiwang", also known as "The Game of Stealing the Sky", played by the new 007 Pierce Brosnan, produced by MGM, and was released on August 6;

The movie "The Big Cheater", starring Eddie Murphy, a famous black comedy star, is produced by Universal Pictures and will be released on August 13;

As for the other films released in August, Finding Nemo has nothing to fear.

Of course, even with the addition of the two movies "The Game of Stealing the Sky" and "The Big Cheater", Zucker and Waterworld Animation are confident and will win them head-on.

It's so tough!

Sure enough... Judging from the box office data reported at noon, Water World Animation won.

In just a few hours, the box office and attendance of "Finding Nemo" were higher than those of "Stolen Sky Game" released in the same period.

"New 007, he really can't beat Nemo the clownfish!" Many moviegoers exclaimed sincerely.

"of course!"

A person in charge of a box office investigation agency, interviewed by reporters, said: "No child will refuse "Finding Nemo", how can Pierce Brosnan's "Stolen Game" win?"

The reporters of the WB TV network, as well as reporters from dozens of media and newspapers in the United States, interviewed many fans and audiences in a targeted manner as soon as the film was released.

The answers that came out were all sorts of strange.

George: "Oh, what movie do you want me to choose? Need to say more? Of course, Finding Nemo!"

Mulito: "It has to be "Finding Nemo"! As for "Stolen Sky Game\

,"we'll talk about it then. "

Connery: "It's worth a movie ticket just for that beautiful picture."

Sean Viel: "I'm a big fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, which movie would you choose to watch?!"

Ace: "A rare holiday, of course, is to take my beloved babies to the Forest Park for a picnic. Of course, my babies also like watching movies very much, and Finding Nemo is the best choice."

Jona: "Finding Nemo! It has to be it! Since Wednesday, my two kids have been clamoring to watch it, and as a mom, of course, I won't turn down reasonable requests from kids."

Dozens of media reporters interviewed nearly a thousand moviegoers.

The number of times "Finding Nemo" is mentioned is as high as 83%, and the score is even A+;

Only 9% of the times mentioning "The Game of Stealing the Sky", the rating is only B;

As for other movies released in the same period, I can use four words to describe them - not to mention it!

"If nothing else, the premiere of "Finding Nemo" will show a sweeping trend. All competitors will be... vulnerable in front of it!"

A media reporter said solemnly.

A photographer around him nodded in agreement and said, "Unless Pierce Brosnan turns into 007 Bond, it is definitely not a match for Finding Nemo."

......

MGM Studios.

The production team of the film "Stolen Game".

A group of MGM executives gathered here, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room was slightly heavy.

"How to do?"

The project team leader and vice president of MGM Pictures, Danon Erich, asked: "You all pretend to be Hollywood elites and senior workers, why are you all dumb now? A little water The world animation company, will you crush you? Waste, a bunch of waste!"

Everyone bowed their heads, looking embarrassed and ashamed.

They don't want to either!

Naihe really can't do it!

"......"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It's not that they can't think of a way. Generally speaking, for the sake of box office, they don't mind using abnormal means to attack their opponents, but behind the animation of Water World, there is the increasingly powerful Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, the American super rich Zucker Waugh. De!

Unconventional means, do you use one to try?

"Hey~~"

Vice President Danon Erich, after barking incompetently, sighed on the spot: "Let's do our best to obey the destiny, even if we lose, we must ensure that "The Game of Stealing Heaven" will not lose money."

......

the next day.

9 am.

Yesterday's box office results are out!

"Finding Nemo" won the box office championship in North America on August 6th with a score of 27 million US dollars!

Can Waterworld Animation produce high-quality, high-grossing theatrical animated films?

At the moment when the box office results were announced, no one objected anymore!

That is to say, after Disney Animation, Pixar Animation, and DreamWorks Animation, Water World Animation has risen strongly and occupies an important place in the world animation field.

"America's 4th largest animation company - Water World Animation!"

This is the front page headlines of articles written by many American media this morning.

This title really stings the eye of some people!

Pixar boss Steve Jobs: "This guy, Zucker Wald, really made him do it."

I have to say, Mr. Jobs was a little unhappy.

Of course, he wasn't afraid either. He is a very proud person, he is not afraid of any opponent!

Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney: "It's a pity! Behind the Water World Animation Company, there is the existence of Wald Pictures that can distribute movies around the world. Otherwise, we Disney can't win one or two of the profits in overseas markets, but Now...no chance."

Jeffrey Katzenberg, head of DreamWorks Animation: "We have to work harder, or one day we will be surpassed by Waterworld Animation. I will never make it a reality!"

The most delicious person is Rupert Murdoch, the boss of News Corporation and Fox Pictures!

"Damn~!"

"Waterworld Animation...why...isn't it under my banner?"

Undoubtedly, at this moment, Murdoch thought of his own animation studio again. The animated film "Frozen Planet" produced not long ago placed his high hopes on him, costing nearly 100 million US dollars, just to create a film comparable to Pixar. The existence of animation.

But... the movie box office fiasco! ! !

In addition to the follow-up profit, peripheral profit, and box office share, the total amount is less than one-third of the production cost.

Blood loss!

A tycoon like Murdoch, can there be no resentment?

......

at the same time.

Waterworld Animation.

Zucker confronted a group of Waterworld animation executives such as Stephen Solenberg and David Messer, and issued an important decision to them.

"Give you options, give you allotment!"

"Water World Animation is about to be listed on the US stock market!"

" "The second is sent.

Thanks to Han Wang Xie Jiu for the reward of 500, and thanks to the "change" book friend for the reward.
