The box office of a film does not only depend on film factors such as quality and publicity, but other off-site factors will also have a profound impact. The most typical one is the source of the film, such as films from Europe and Asia. Even if the quality and publicity are passed, North American audiences will still not buy it if 99%.

After reading the information of competitors, Duke discovered that although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the producer of Carloch Films - "Terminator 2", and is now the leader of Hollywood's second-tier labels - the largest investor comes from Sylvigno Berlusconi!

That’s right, it’s the boss of AC Milan! He is also the first producer of the film!

Maybe this seems to be an irrelevant factor, but it will always have some impact on the film.

The most important point is that the publisher 20th Century Fox took away a considerable part of the profits of "Terminator 2", which led to Carlock Pictures ending its cooperation with it. It did not choose the seven most powerful distribution brands at present on "The Legend of the Sun" but used the second-tier publisher Samsung Pictures!

Although this is also one of the old brands with history, neither the ability nor the promotional distribution channels can be compared with the seven major brands. The distribution is by no means having the distribution authority and distribution capabilities, and it can win the same theater production and production of films in North America, especially in the extremely fierce summer season!

There is one thing that no one can deny. Hollywood is a circle controlled by giants. They can cooperate and compete with each other, but they will never allow new entrants to reach the same level.

Now the leader of second-tier companies, Carlock Pictures is the focus of restrictions. They have only won 2,300 theaters for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has a production cost of up to $70 million, which is far inferior to the 2,512 companies in "Brave the Deadly Island".

The gap in the number of theaters brings the gap in box office!

The methods of giants to encircle and suppress newly emerging companies are diverse, and the distribution channels can be said to be one of the simplest, most brutal, most direct and most effective ways. Just like dealing with DreamWorks in the future, there is not enough distribution channels, and even if Spielberg and Jerryfor Carsonberg can produce the best content, it will not save the fate of DreamWorks.

Not to mention that you can publish videos on a large scale in North America and even around the world by simply acquiring a distribution company, that’s a daydream!

Katsenberg and Spielberg have been deeply rooted in Hollywood for more than twenty years. Their own abilities and capital are strong enough, but they still cannot do this. Can those who have joined Hollywood for a few years do it?

If you are facing a weak opponent, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely win completely, but when the opponent is replaced by "The Legend of the Deadly Island" by Warner Bros. and Duke, its inherent weakness in production and distribution seriously affected the overall box office trend of the three-day weekend.

On Saturday, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" rose significantly in a single day, earning $5.76 million, just like most movies!

However, the weekend box office of "Brave the Deadly Island" also showed the normal rules of high audience reputation movies, slowly rising to $7.25 million, still surpassing "The Legend of the Sun" and "Night Visit to the Vampire", and is at the top of the single-day box office!

At this time, the overall box office trend of this weekend has been decided. Even if Carlock Pictures and Samsung Pictures want to do something, it will be too late.

…………

"Pate, the latest data! Tell me!"

It was a new Monday morning. After Tom Cruise arrived at the CAA building, he did not go to see other conglomerates, but went directly to the office of the female agent Jinsley who brought him up.

“Night Visit to Vampire” is pretty good!”

Pat Kinsley looked at the funder sitting opposite him, suppressing the displeasure caused by the interview incident some time ago, and said, "I got $17.43 million this weekend, and the North American box office was $60.68 million, and it should be no problem to exceed 100 million in the end."

If it were in the past, Tom Cruise would definitely laugh. A movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America will not only consolidate its current position, but also allow him to continue to climb to the highest level of Hollywood, but now his mind is not on this at all.

"Where is "Brave the Deadly Island"?" He said with anxiety in his tone, "I won the box office championship again?"

"Yes!" Jinsley found a piece of information, opened it and looked at it, ""Brave the Deadly Island" was $22.89 million, surpassing the $18.51 million in "The Legend of the Sun" and won the second box office championship, and Duke Rosenberg also won his fourth box office championship!"

"$22.89 million!" Tom Cruisemer calculated for a while and squeezed out a sentence, "The box office has accumulated a total of $78.89 million, damn it! It may be over 100 million this week!"

His face suddenly became gloomy.

"Calm down, Tom!"

Speaking of Cruise, Nicole Kidman is definitely not as good as Pat Kingsley. "Don't do stupid things or say stupid things anymore. You will only lose more than you can discredit Duke Rosenberg and "Brave the Deadly Island"!"

Her client is a star or an idol star, while on the other side is just a director, a behind-the-scenes profession that has never relied on fame. If both parties throw black water on each other, the most unlucky one will definitely be Tom Cruise.

As long as there is a tip from the agent, Cruise is still a clear-headed person. He dispels the unreliable thoughts that had just arisen in his heart and leans back on the back of the chair.

"Tom, this is just a normal business competition." Pat Kinsley also tentatively persuaded Cruise, "You and Duke Rosenberg have no personal grudges, so there is no need to continue confronting each other! The big sale of "Brave the Deadly Island" also proves that he is a commercial director who is in a period of rapid rise. Don't tell me that you can't see the benefits of making friends with such a director!"

"The Speed ​​of Life and Death" easily made Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman famous. After "The Brave of the Dead Island", Ed Harris, Nicholas Cage and Christopher Li, who were originally considered unknown, were so hot...

If the person who played Stanley Gusby was himself, what would happen? Tom Cruise could almost expect that everyone would completely regard him as a box office elixir, and the next film pay could even be called for $20 million plus a minimum of 10% profit share!

Taking a few deep breaths, Tom Cruise said slowly, "I know what to do!"

No matter what Tom Cruise's actual idea, "Brave the Deadly Island" is like all successful summer films, standing out from the fierce competition and strangling and constantly impacting new box office heights. Although with the increase in screening time and the increase in box office numbers, film critics who will never belong to the market and the public, their attacks on the film are getting stronger and stronger, and their professional ratings have even dropped to about 7 points at one point, but it has maintained an A-level praise rate of more than 80% of the audience, which is enough to ensure that the film continues to harvest every dollar from theaters.

When Duke and others walked through cities such as Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Nashville, and finally stayed in Miami to end their entire journey in North America, "Battle of the Deadly Island" also spent its third weekend in North American theaters and won $14.39 million in weekend box office.

Although it unexpectedly fell to the second place in the box office list, combined with the cumulative amount of US$11.22 million in the first four working days, the total box office in North America reached US$14.5 million!

The film's box office in North America successfully exceeded 100 million!

However, Duke knew very well that this should be the last single-week high box office superposition of the film, and he could only rely on screening time to accumulate in the future, because in the new weekend, there is a film that even if it is placed in twenty years, the box office is terrifying. He deliberately avoided not competing head-on with it. It will be released soon!

That's right, Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" is coming, and any film that wants to make a difference in the summer season will avoid this weekend schedule at the end of May and early June.

Yes, Duke is not afraid of competition, but not being afraid does not mean he has to use his head to hit the iron plate!

"Brave the Deadly Island" was also released on the third weekend of North America, and it landed in three English-speaking countries in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. These three places are one of the five gay friendly areas in English. Generally, the market responses of films that are popular in North America will not be bad.

The weekend box office data of the UK's $6.12 million, Australia's $3.24 million, and New Zealand's $780,000 successfully occupied the local box office championship respectively.

This ten million dollar doesn’t seem to be too much, but now there are drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Most countries and regions around the world have opened their doors to Hollywood. Apart from romance and shit and pee-shot comedy films with distinct North American characteristics, super-selling movies such as action movies and science fiction movies, the final overseas box office can completely crush North American box office, and some can reach 1.5 times or even twice.

However, in this era, information exchange is not smooth and it is impossible to achieve real global simultaneous release. Most overseas regions often have to end the screening in three months to half a year or even a year after the lower-end of North America. The overseas box office share settlement is very troublesome, and it is even more normal for a long time to lose money.

Now Duke’s thought is that the box office in North America is as high as possible, and then he can repay his mother’s $10 million loan by relying on one-fifth of the North American market, and the remaining 10% of the income and interest can be paid off after the overseas share is received.

According to the initial contract, Duke hired lawyers and PwC's accountant team participated in the preparation, shooting, promotion and post-screening of the film throughout the process.

Hiring these highly specialized and reputable companies is also expensive. In addition to a million dollars in basic remuneration, it also enjoys a share of 5% of Duke's investment income.

In this highly commercial society, there is no gain that can be obtained without efforts, especially Hollywood companies that have always had a bad reputation for supervision and hire professional teams without high prices. The final loss is likely to exceed the rewards paid!
