In the six major Hollywood film companies, "Spy Shadows" is an ordinary medium-scale production, but for relativity entertainment, this is the top super A project.

The resources in publicity and distribution are naturally approaching "Spy Shadows".

In an exclusive interview with Jason Bourne as the cover character in Vanity Fair, a passage from Ronan, who is the producer, was also published.

"Matt Damon and Jason Bourne are integrated. His excitement, that calmness, that helplessness, that firmness and persistence, and that will not stop until the goal is achieved, are moving."

Ronan also praised the role of Bourne and the starring Matt Damon: "Borne never waits passively, but takes the initiative to attack and control the chess game firmly in his own hands; he uses his power to fight against a huge group and an unshakable system. Even if his power is weak, he can play this system in his palm, which makes people applaud him. This is the charm of "Spy Shadows", and this is the charm of Matt Damon!"

The producer cannot brag about himself, and even if he brags, there are few people paying attention to him. He still has to brag about the stars and movies in front of the screen.

There is no doubt that once "The Spy Shadow" was released, it stood out from a series of bizarre, equipment competition, and extreme wonder spy films.

Another very important point is that "Pearl Harbor", which has a huge publicity and screening scale before, has suffered from reputation in all aspects and has dropped rapidly. Now, the only one that can really compete with "Spy" in the theater is actually the only film "Tomb Raider".

After the workday began, the box office of "Spy Shadows" began to decline normally, but the trend was relatively steady. From Monday to Thursday, it won $19.93 million in four working days.

Then, the film ushered in its second weekend in North America.

This weekend, the largest film with the largest painting was "The Strange Doctor Doride 2" released by 20th Century Fox.

This is a typical black comedy starring Eddie Murphy.

Films similar to "The Strange Doctor Dolittle 2" have always had a relatively market in North America, and black comedy is also a relatively large category among commercial films.

To be strict, Jack Chen's "Peak Moment" has also been classified as black comedy.

After the release of the film, it quickly seized the market and earned $25.03 million in North American theaters in three days over the weekend, winning the North American box office champion.

"Spy Shadows" only stayed at the North American box office championship for one weekend and then fell to second place. However, the box office of 23.56 million US dollars also made Ronan quite satisfied.

Ten days after its release, the box office of "Spy Shadows" in North America has accumulated 93.34 million US dollars, exceeding 100 million US dollars is a breeze.

The weekend box office of Tomb Raider, ranked third, has dropped to $10 million.

The popularity of "Pearl Harbor" is not proportional to the film's investment. After only five weekends of release, the box office in North America plummeted to about $6 million on weekends.

Of course, Disney's ambitious epic war masterpiece cannot be said to be a failure, but it is far from meeting expectations.

In the past two years, Ronan has conducted in-depth analysis and comprehensive analysis based on the top 20 movies in North America and the world's box office lists, and combined the production cost and promotional and distribution investment of each film to compare the actual box office revenue at home and abroad, and basically came to a conclusion.

Films with good box office and relatively high investments must be at least three times the production cost in the world to ensure that the film company may recover the cost through the box office.

Of course, this is just a case of average calculation, and there must be different cases.

If nothing unexpected happens, the final box office figure of Pearl Harbor is estimated to be more than 100 million US dollars away from Disney's psychological expectations.

But this did not affect Disney's cooperation with Jerry Brookheimer, and it is said that Disney is preparing to collaborate with Jerry Brookheimer on a new film project.

Ronan was very curious, what would these two cooperate?

Although Jerever Carsonberg left Disney, the relevant news channels have been smooth. He soon told Ronan that Brookheimer Pictures is preparing to cooperate with Disney on a movie about treasure hunt.

A treasure hunt movie? Ronan is a little confused because strictly speaking, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also a treasure hunting theme.

If you can't find out more precisely, Ronan is also cautious. Perhaps "Pirates of the Caribbean" should be put into daily life.

Although the copyrights of related stories and characters were registered in the Copyright Office, and even specially prepared a case at the Screenwriter's Union. Di Baby and Brookheimer Pictures will shoot according to the stories of their previous lives, which will infringe the copyright 100%, but it is not surprising that Hollywood's plausible stories are really filmed.

Of course, under normal circumstances, genuine film companies will not intentionally infringe on copyright. Not to mention reputation issues, the subsequent troubles alone will be countless, which will not be worth the cost.

However, Ronan, with the idea of ​​being defensive, felt that in the second half of this year, to be precise, it would be after September 11 that it would officially put "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the agenda.

Such a top-notch production, just preparation and shooting, it takes about a year and a half to reserve.

The only thing that is thankful is that because of the extremely deep impression of this series, Ronan not only knows who the three protagonists are, but also has a vague impression of the director.

In the office, Ronan wrote three lines of words: director, starring and funding in his notebook.

If the director is the director, you can find it. He is not an unknown person and should be easily found.

In terms of starring, the first part is undoubtedly the structure of the Iron Triangle. Needless to say, Johnny Depp is not a captain without Depp.

Johnny Depp is still a weird actor, far from being on the front line of Hollywood, nor is it the so-called four Hollywood kings in the future. It is estimated that the maximum salary of 10 million US dollars can be handled.

The other two actors do not have to invite stars. It seems that Miss A was just a little famous actor before filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", and was not much better than Kate Beckinsale in "Pearl Harbor".

If you want to choose a elvess prince? It seems that finding a strong man is more suitable for a blacksmith? Of course, the elves prince is also good. In the Hollywood aesthetic, even a handsome man has a good figure, rather than really looking like a woman...

These can be carefully considered after the crew is established.

The most important thing is the funding issue.

Ronan has participated in and produced multiple film projects in succession and knew that Hollywood is actually spending money on movies. If a fantasy blockbuster like "Pirates of the Caribbean" wants to produce ideal effects, the cost of special effects alone may be around 40 million US dollars, or even more.

There is basically no place to take advantage of the special effects, and the amount of money invested is the most direct display on the screen.

According to Ronan's estimate, the production cost of this film cannot be less than US$120 million.

Although this money can be paid in succession without a one-time investment, relying solely on internal financing, the capital chain of Relativity Entertainment may be broken.

Once the company's working capital is tight, it will definitely affect Ronan's subsequent series of plans.

It often takes more than two years for a movie to invest and truly gain profits.

External financing is still the best choice.

I don’t know if the German Koch Films and the Indian Mountain Foundation can raise such a huge amount of funds.

Ronan thought of the foundation being planned and established again, which should also play a role by then.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and "Spy Shadows" series have been successful. Relativity Entertainment will gain a foothold in the commercial film market and can launch more first-line productions at that time.

The premise is that there will be no inexplicable suppression.

In addition to movies, you should be appropriately low-key. Anyway, DreamWorks is now in front and acts as the best shield.

It is not difficult for Ronan to find that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the future, the Relativity Entertainment will probably not find a more suitable development opportunity than it is now.

DreamWorks now seems to be very powerful, taking away the Oscars and Best Picture for two consecutive years. It looks like it may become the seventh largest in Hollywood at any time, attracting the attention of six major companies, and instead provides a rare development space for companies hiding behind DreamWorks.

In his previous life, Lionsgate Pictures and Tempest Entertainment developed rapidly at the beginning of the century, which is not unrelated to this.

From the beginning to the present, DreamWorks has always been posing as if I want to be on the top every day. It would be strange if the six major companies do not give priority to the crackdown on DreamWorks.

According to Ronan's memory, DreamWorks can live another two years, and they can fully play the role of MT in these two years.

So, Steven Spielberg is actually a good person and a kind-hearted old Jewish man.

Sacrifice me, there are a lot of people in the circle of happiness...

The old man forced himself to support DreamWorks until it completely disintegrated. He probably had a heart to do it.

"My name is mt, the body of a bronze wall, I will parry, I dodge, I will guard you with my body..."

Infected by this kind of good man spirit, Ronan also decided to be a good man and would not incite Jerefer Carsonberg's DreamWorks Animation Studio to split up with Spielberg for the time being.

A dream factory that looks strong enough from the outside meets the development needs of relativity entertainment.

Now Lionsgate Pictures is unknown, and Tsukuba Entertainment has developed vulgarity. Once the Dream Factory falls, Relativity Entertainment will soon become a very eye-catching existence among Hollywood second- and third-tier film companies.

At that time, Relativity Entertainment will inevitably usher in acquisitions or other commercial benefits.

Before one's own strength is not strong enough, this will cause many variables to come out of thin air in future development.

Soon, the first round of overseas release of "Spy Shadows" also reached Los Angeles. The film won US$45.6 million in more than 30 countries and regions on its first weekend.

In the next few weeks, the film's release scope will rapidly expand to all parts of the world, including the Eastern Market across the Pacific.
