Hollywood Starts with Animation

The next morning, the box office data came out.

The movie "Monsters, Inc." grossed $19.8 million on its first day;

The film "Flying House Globe", the first day box office of 16.5 million US dollars;

The two films occupied the first and second place in the North American box office rankings on November 3, respectively, and they could be called the best of the best, because the third-ranked comedy film "The Nick Family" only reaped $3.5 million at the box office yesterday. .

The difference is extremely obvious!

Similarly, in the films released on November 3, in addition to "Monsters Power Company" and "Flying House Globe", there are also 4 films released.

However, the result?

The best of the best, only took less than $1 million at the first-day box office yesterday.

As soon as the data came out, it caused an uproar in the market.

"Sigh~"

"Yesterday, the North American market totaled more than 50 million US dollars, and more than 15 films were shown, but the new works of Pixar and Water World directly accounted for 77."

"Many movies released at the same time yesterday became cannon fodder in front of the two movies "Monster Power Company" and "Flying House Globe"!"

"you do not say!"

"The worst is Fox Searchlight's new film "The Gunfighter". The production cost of this film alone is as high as 85 million US dollars, which is almost a category A commercial blockbuster. But now? The box office on the first day is only 920,000. Dollars, it's a blood loss~"

Just as Zucker stepped into the Wald Films building, he heard many employees discussing yesterday's box office situation.

Who made "Monsters, Inc." and "Up and Down the World" so successful?

"Boss, I was just about to call you to tell you the good news. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

Kevin Feige said.

Zucker said with a smile on his face, "You know, I'm very concerned about the box office of Flying Home."

As the publisher of "Flying House Globe", Wald Pictures has timely feedback of natural news.

The animated film "Flying House Globe", its first-day box office was 16.5 million US dollars, this result can only be said to be a fairly good or even a mediocre result in the previous Thanksgiving schedule.

However, as far as the current bleak film market is concerned, the box office of $16.5 million on the first day is definitely a smashing achievement.

The entire Wald Films and Waterworld Animation are extremely excited!

"The film's results are good, but it's only the second place, and it's still below Pixar. I'm a little unhappy." Zucker said suddenly.

Kevin Feige nodded.

Who said it wasn't?

The entire Wald Films and Waterworld Animations employees are holding their breath? With the idea of ​​surpassing Pixar? Now the first-day box office is several million dollars less than Pixar's

You say, can you be willing? !

Zucker asked again, "Has the theater chain adjusted the film arrangement?"

"some."

Kevin Feige "Actually after 8 o'clock last night? A Entertainment, Emperor Entertainment, Ximanke and other mainstream theaters have added a lot of films? Of course it is not many. However, this morning? I received it again. A lot of calls from theaters. Today's filming situation of "Flying House Globe" should be greatly improved."

really

When it is noon? The number of movie theaters in "Flying House" has increased from more than 2,300 to more than 2,800 now.

A full 500 more cinemas!

If it is subdivided into each screen, there will be at least 1,200 more screens today.

The box office has soared, and it is completely predictable that it exceeds the box office on the first day!

"Boss? From this morning until now? Our "Flying House" film has already won $8 million at the box office. It is expected that the box office results for the whole day today will likely exceed $20 million."

Kevin Feige said.

The corner of Zucker's mouth slightly raised, "Not bad, better than yesterday's results. How is Pixar's "Monsters, Inc."?"

Hearing this? Kevin Feige immediately laughed and said, "We are $300,000 more than "Monsters, Inc."

The voice fell.

Zhu Ke immediately applauded and said, "We have more than 2,800 movie theaters, and Pixar's is in the early 3,000s? But our box office today is more than it, which is definitely good news."

Less film than Pixar? A little more at the box office?

This is undoubtedly exciting news for everyone who wants to surpass Pixar.

2 hours later.

"boss? 'Flying Home' did more at the box office than 'Monsters, Inc.'? It's $900,000 more now!"

"Even if it's just today's box office? But it's enough to show that we're better."

Kevin Feige reports again.

4 hours later.

On the evening of November 4, "Flying Home" earned $1.5 million more than "Monsters, Inc." at the box office.

8pm.

"Flying Home" has already reported $17 million today, surpassing the box-office performance of yesterday's full-day premiere.

The box office is growing!

Temporarily ranked No. 1 in the North American box office rankings that day!

Pixar Animation.

"Damn~"

"Damn water world animation!"

“As of now, our Pixar animation, Monsters, Inc. has reported $14.3 million, and that guy’s water world animation by Zucker Wald has reported $17 million today, almost surpassing our $3 million mark. It's gone!"

As the boss of Pixar, Jobs was really upset at the moment, even angry.

In the eyes of Jobs, the Pixar animation under his name is the best existence, what DreamWorks Animation, what Water World understands animation, what Blue Sky Studio, is not a rival at all!

However, reality gave him a resounding slap.

"Lasseter, you immediately call Disney as the publisher and ask them how they did it? Why is our performance surpassed by Water World Animation?"

Jobs said coldly.

"Yes, boss."

John Lasseter agreed.

At this moment, classmate Zhu Ke is not here, otherwise he will be very happy, after all, he can see Jobs deflated.

in the original time and space

"Flying Home" has a global box office of 73.5 billion US dollars;

"Monsters, Inc." grossed $63.2 billion worldwide;

In the original time and space, both films were produced by Pixar animation, inheriting the consistent warm elements of Pixar animation, leaving a very deep impression on countless movie audiences.

However, in comparison, the two have their own merits.

"Both movies are equally good, so why is 'Up and Down' overtaking 'Monsters, Inc.' now?"

This question is both a doubt for Jobs and a doubt for Disney, the publisher.

Many colleagues are also paying attention to this.

bang~

Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney, stood up and said coldly, "When it comes to the distribution capabilities of the North American market, Wald Pictures is not our opponent at all, but this time their publicity channel focuses on the Internet!"

"We underestimate the power of the Internet!"

As an Internet boss, Zucker naturally has a stronger power in the Internet field. And this time, the focus of the film "Flying House Globe" in the Internet field comes from Google.

Although Google has not yet been listed on the US stock market, and its estimated market value has not exceeded 800 million US dollars, Google is already the current global search engine overlord!

The reason why the market value is relatively low is entirely because the current Internet companies attach great importance to portal websites.

Zucker, who holds a large stake in Google, is almost unmatched in terms of publicity in the Internet field.

Disney's distribution capabilities are very strong, but in terms of the Internet, it can't do Zucker at all, and even to put it bluntly, Zucker can hit Disney on the floor.

the next day.

Movie data is out again.

"Flying House Globe" reported yesterday that it received more than 24 million US dollars, and it was released for two days, with a cumulative box office of 41 million US dollars;

"Monsters, Inc." reported $20 million yesterday, and it was released for two days, with a cumulative box office of $40 million;

super~

That's right, in just two days, Zhu Ke was a little better.

" "The first more is sent.
