Chapter 360 Finalizing the release of Silence of the Lambs(2/2)
Reputation, what's wrong with it?" Ronald raised the banner of Jonathan Demme and spoke.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but now all I can mobilize is the distribution power of Samsung Pictures. Our resources are limited. If you are willing to come to Samsung Pictures to distribute this film, of course I am very willing."
"Okay, tell me a number." Ronald leaned forward slightly, waiting for Mike Medavoy to bid.
"I'll arrange it after the summer vacation next year..."
"Forget it, let's go find Mr. Eisner from Disney..." Ronald stood up and was about to leave.
After the summer vacation is over, it will be the biggest garbage period of the year. When Medavoy said this, it was completely insincere.
"I'm sincere, but the schedule of Tristar Pictures is really not good. The best schedules are all in the hands of the Columbia label. We only have one schedule after the summer and a period after the New Year holiday, with four movies.
Schedule."
Mike Medavoy also wants to rely on this movie to make a comeback and establish his own team in Colombia. But the cards in his hand are indeed limited now. Peter Guber is a person who is very good at wielding power. He has taken precautions a long time ago and will not give Samsung Pictures
any chance of two potential competitors in the industry.
What Samsung Pictures gets is only two off-season slots throughout the year. If Samsung Pictures' distribution performance is not good, it can use KPI to restrict the two of them. If the box office is good... Hey, those two broken slots can
How good is it?
But Mike McDavoy is not an ordinary person. Under such difficult circumstances, he still got several potential works. One is Jim, the soul of the band "The Doors" starring Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan.
Morrison's biopic. Another movie that is also a comic book adaptation, following the footsteps of Batman's "The Punisher".
The "Silence of the Lambs" brought by Ronald is of course of better quality than these two films. In his opinion, it still has the potential to win awards. If it is placed in the period after the New Year holiday, although the box office will be worse than the worst after the summer period
The schedule is better, but the potential for winning prizes is limited.
"How many theaters can you give me?" Ronald said that he would go to Disney's Eisner, which was also a bluff. Because Disney's internal integration is good, next year's movies have already been allocated. Ronald wants to make a cut and sell them.
His appearance is not bad. However, the number of theaters obtained and the marketing promotion will definitely not give him the best treatment.
If there are only 600 to 800 theaters showing it, then it might as well be a daydream to promote it.
"There are about 1,200 theaters..." Mike Medavoy said that this number of theaters will probably be available in the second half of the year.
"That's too bad. I'd rather choose the first half of next year." Ronald heard that TriStar Pictures was going to release four movies in the first half of the year, and he knew that most of the resources that Medavoy had in hand were in the first half of the year.
The post-New Year period of the month.
"If you are willing to come, I can gather more than 1,300 families."
Mike Medavoy gritted his teeth and decided to rush that "L.A. Story" to the second half of the year.
"One thousand five hundred, plus some theaters that I can handle myself, together we can probably do more than one thousand seven hundred..." Ronald felt that we could still squeeze out some resources, "In addition, you originally
How about the public relations resources prepared in Orion?"
"That's it..." Mike Medavoy was very tight in Orion and had no budget. Although TriStar Pictures was suppressed, the Japanese people still had enough money and accumulated resources.
After finalizing the release of "Silence of the Lambs", Daydream breathed a sigh of relief.
There is still a lot of pressure for a small company to release two medium-production films in a row. It just so happens that the second film can be done together with the professionals from Samsung Pictures, and a lot of experience can be learned.
Therefore, Daydream began to go all out to prepare for the release of "Dances with Wolves".
Chapter completed!
