Legendary Hollywood Director

Then let's make a buyout contract first.

Oh, yes, but Untouchable still has some trivial matters that have not been resolved, in terms of publicity... - This is also a troublesome matter. If you don't get it done first, you won't rush to sign. Not a thing.

We also know about the project Untouchable. So, no matter what, at least keep the screening scale not lower than that of No Country for Old Men, how about it?

Pumping ingredients to moisturise...

The three of them looked at each other, and Luc Besson said decisively: It's still 18%, but the copyright is still bought out. Can you do it? - Given so many discounts and promises, don't delay any more.

Therefore, when Laiman left and returned home, the verbal aspect had been confirmed, and the next day, an employee of the legal department of Blue Butterfly Pictures personally drafted the contract and handed it over to a few people for verification, and then the parties officially signed it.

In this transaction, Lehmann paid a part of the project profits in exchange for a certain range of resource tilt and promotion from several studios.

Among them, the DVD market of No Country for Old Men was finally won by EMI, with a buyout price of 12 million US dollars.

If the theaters of Untouchable start showing in the future, then the offline buyout of this film will be discussed.

Is it released? Under the negotiation rules, what cannot be concealed is the bloody and cruel law of the law of the jungle.

......

Entering June, several new films have joined the battlefield.

However, with the exception of Break Up Men and Women produced by Universal, the other films will not pose any threat to No Country for Old Men.

But Break Up Men and Women...

In the original time and space, this film has won a global box office of 210 million US dollars, and it has also exceeded 100 million in North America.

In terms of starring, a combination like Jennifer Aniston Gavins Vaughn has a very good audience, perhaps this is one of the reasons why a romantic light comedy with an old-fashioned theme can achieve such results.

Or because after Brad Pitt divorced her, he showed off his love with Angelina Jolie every day, which made the audience generally feel a little more sympathy and comfort for her.

Moreover, Universal is obviously prepared, and the focus of publicity is almost all on Jennifer Aniston. The huge fan base accumulated by Friends is also the best way to monetize. Therefore, the latest weekly North American box office list has ushered in again. One shuffle.

The first place is the airborne new film Break Up Men and Women, 38.05 million;

The second place is X-Men 3: The Last Stronghold, 34.35 million (a drop of more than 50%, but this is the case for most of the series, and the box office potential of most fans is almost consumed in the first week);

No. 3 No Country for Old Men, 23.15 million;

Fourth place Beyond the Fence 20.65 million;

The fifth place, The Da Vinci Code, is 19.3 million (after entering the third week, the market potential is obviously insufficient);

The sixth Mission Impossible 3 4.68 million...

If you carefully analyze the box office data of the above-mentioned works, you will obviously find that the schedule is so competitive that almost no film can consistently hold the top spot.

certainly,

With such fierce competition, No Country For Old Men barely maintained a normal decline, but it still quickly consumed the film's screening potential.

However, this is basically the case for the North American cinema chain. It can exceed 100 million but not 200 million. The approximate landing point is estimated to be around 140 million. However, the film has performed well in overseas markets, and the market in various places is highly rated.

Of course, overseas distribution is more profitable than domestic distribution. In fact, it may not be as much as what North America earns. This time, aside from the French market, the overseas business will continue to cooperate with Fox and borrow their overseas business. Web Promotion.

Firefly pays roughly 30% of its overseas profits.

Such conditions are not harsh.

After all, most of the studios are so blood drawn by the Big Six, and I am a bit more favorable.

......

Just as Lehman continues to work on the preparations for Untouchable, Hollywood has not been calm recently.

Of course, it's not some bloody scandal or a celebrity's daily derailment, but the bad debt between Paramount and Tom Cruise has escalated.

In a chat on the phone, even Joseph talked about it.

The cause of the incident was that the screening of Mission Impossible 3 was not smooth.

Speaking of which, the birth of this show was full of twists and turns.

Because Tom Cruise holds the rights to the Mission Impossible series, he has always been strong in the production and shooting of this project.

At the beginning, Paramount took the initiative to find Tom Tom to discuss the start of the project, Tom Tom agreed after thinking about it, and then invited David Finch to direct, but then David Finch quit halfway and ran to tinker with Dog Town Congressman, the directorship was taken over by Joe Cana, but the director Tom was very dissatisfied, and the adapted script was also rejected, and Joe Cana naturally couldn't stay...

Anyway, the script changed a few versions, and finally gave in to each other and found J-J-Abrams, a TV director who had never made a movie.

As a result, when it was released on May 5, the first weekend box office of Mission: Impossible 3 was only 48 million US dollars, which was much lower than the 78.8 million US dollars of Mission: Impossible 2 in the first weekend. Not only did it fail to achieve the expected growth, Also a big step back.

You must know that the production cost of this film alone is 150 million. The first weekend box office of similar high-cost movies is so unsatisfactory. It is estimated that it can be traced back to the Kingdom of Heaven the year before - note, it is not ideal, not a big loss.

And then, a production executive at Paramount in the middle couldn't help but gossip in front of the media, saying that Tom Cruise and his current girlfriend were cheating every day, causing the public impression to be too bad and dragging down the Disc Spy 3.

Of course, Tommy is also a temperamental person.

It said that when you came to me to discuss it before, this was not the attitude. Now that the box office is not ideal, you can talk about my private life and bully others, right?

As a result, before the film was drawn, the two sides began to turn against each other and pinch each other.

In fact, the reason why Paramount is so angry is that the film revenue of the Mission Impossible series is too much, and the box office is not ideal, Paramount's profit is even more. No, my mind is out of balance.

But unbalanced is unbalanced. Paramount, you have not lost any money. Tom is not used to it, and he has made a big move. Come on, let's stop playing, and the sequel of the project will be stranded indefinitely.

As a result, Paramount's head is about to explode.

It can be said that the Mission Impossible series is the history of the grudge between Tom and Paramount.

Since the second part, there has been no trouble.

In the end, either Tommy was soft, or Paramount gave in first.

In short, in the eyes of other studio executives, it is regarded as a joke.

Don't tell me, it's not a bad joke.

Brother Tom, who made his idol debut, was miserable by the studio in his early years. He couldn't do this for the sake of his image, and he couldn't do that, which made him very uncomfortable.

Later, when his career developed to a certain point, and there was capital competition, this made him very contradictory when facing the studio. He was very arrogant and liked to point fingers at project shooting, in order to satisfy his desire for control, but also in his heart. I don't want to have bad relations with the studio, and I yearn to be a member of the production and distribution team myself.

To this end, he also founded a production studio with his agent, and spends a lot of time every year looking for project investment.

Therefore, every time Paramount released goodwill, he happily nodded and agreed to cooperate.

But after all, his background is too poor. As an actor, of course he does a good job, but when it comes to producers, even if he has tried to rely on and learn in this area, he is half a bucket of water. And so on without a very clear understanding.

Under his intervention, Mission Impossible 3 swayed left and right, withdrew from the two directors in the middle, but it was not very good in the end.

After more than a month of screening, the North American box office is less than 125 million, and the global box office is only 337 million. It is estimated that the box office alone will not be able to make a return. After all, Paramount has invested enough in the promotion of this film.

In other words, if nothing else, the failure of Mission Impossible 3 will not make any money from this project in the past two years.

This is also the reason for Paramount's complaint - labor and capital have paid so much, but they have not made enough profits, and the schedule resources are wasted.

Of course, Brother Tom is also very upset, the box office is not ideal, why am I the only one to blame?

In this regard, Abrams is also troubled.

This black pot was tossed around, and part of it was still thrown on him.
