Hollywood Starts with Animation

In a blink of an eye, a few days later...

January 9.

The low-cost film "Love Returning to New Jersey" produced and distributed by Wald Pictures was shown in more than 920 theaters across the United States in a low-key manner.

Compared with the previous openings of more than 2,000 and more than 3,000 movie theaters, this time, Wald Pictures is indeed very low-key.

After all, the production cost of the movie is only 2.5 million US dollars;

Even if the funding for publicity has increased a lot, it will only look at more than 4 million US dollars;

Compared with Wald Pictures’ past large-scale funding, this time it is low-key enough that even the premiere of the film has not been held.

"Is Wald Pictures also worried about losing money?"

The spokesperson of Ximanke, one of the three major theaters in North America, said: "As far as I know, since September 2001, Wald Pictures has withdrawn many self-produced and produced movies and released them on their behalf. The works of other film companies, a total of 7 films. Although these 7 films produced by other film companies are not profitable or loss-making in terms of box office, Wald Pictures, as the distributor, should make a lot of money."

The film company's loss of money has something to do with the distributor Wald Pictures!

That's right!

Since September 2001, Wald Pictures’ own films have not been released, and the films released are all works by other film companies.

However, Wald Pictures can make less money in terms of distribution costs.

In the fourth quarter of Wald Pictures, the distribution revenue alone was as high as 57 million U.S. dollars. Excluding various expenses and costs, the net profit still exceeded 20 million U.S. dollars.

This profit figure is also second only to the six largest Hollywood; higher than the second-tier film companies such as DreamWorks and Shimen Pictures.

The film "Love Return to New Jersey" is the first film produced by Wald Pictures since September 2001 and will be released. It will naturally attract the attention of various media and colleagues.

New Line Pictures.

"Jonathan, Wald Pictures' new year-end work "Love Returns to New Jersey", its production cost is only 2.5 million US dollars, are you sure?"

Xie Yi looked at his vice president with a puzzled look.

Vice President Jonathan nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

"Wow, this is incredible~"

Xie Yi suddenly laughed and said: "What is he thinking of Zucker Wald this time? If it is a horror/thriller movie, the production cost of this 2.5 million US dollars is not low, but such a niche cultured movie , Can it make money?"

"Tsk tusk tusk~ This time Wald Pictures is destined to lose money."

In the words, Shay was full of pride.

Since the release of "Lord of the Rings" in December, the box office has exploded. In recent days, Shay walks with wind.

Don't look at him being respectful and gentle when facing Zhuke. He even took the initiative to seek cooperation from Zhu Ke, and the two seemed to be good friends.

But... Shay was jealous of Zhuke in his heart.

He doesn't want to surpass Zhuke all the time. Well, even if he knew it was almost impossible.

When he caught the opportunity this time, he was very willing to ridicule him behind his back.

"Boss, you also said that the movie "Love Return to New Jersey" is just a small-cost film with a production cost of only 2.5 million US dollars. The distribution fee is not high. Even if the film fails, Wald Pictures will not lose much. ."

Vice President Jonathan reminded him.

"I'm still very happy."

Shay waved his hand and said: "No matter how much it loses, as long as Wald Pictures has a loss, I'd love to see it."

......

Touchstone Pictures.

It is a second-tier Hollywood film company with distribution channels in North America. It is also a subsidiary of Disney, one of the six largest Hollywood studios.

At this moment, CEO Olmedo looked at the report in his hand and laughed loudly: "Wald Pictures is funny this time?!"

Hearing this, several senior executives around could not help but uttered aloud.

"Since its establishment at the end of 1995, Wald Pictures has developed into a top-tier second-tier film company second only to the six major existing film companies in Hollywood in just a few years."

"It produced "300 Spartan", "Spiderman", "Harry Potter" and other movies, which broke the box office record time and time again, and made people stunned again and again."

"But... they are scared now!"

"The 2002 first-year blockbuster turned out to be just a niche literary movie with a production cost of only 2.5 million US dollars. Haha, this is really funny and ridiculous!"

CEO Olmedo’s sneer continued to echo in the huge office.

"Love Return to New Jersey" movie, released on January 9;

And Touchstone Pictures is also a movie called "My Love to Alabama", which was released at the same time on January 9th;

The production cost of the film is as high as 28 million US dollars;

The heroine played by: Reese Witherspoon.

In the past 2001, the movie "The Lawful Beauty", which he starred in, was even more known as a hit movie. The box office revenue in the United States alone exceeded 140 million U.S. dollars;

This film also rescued MGM Pictures, which was about to fail.

Actress Reese Witherspoon has also become one of the hottest female stars in Hollywood.

The leading actor: Josh Lucas.

Although his popularity and popularity is far less than that of popular male stars such as Xiao Lizi and Tom Cruise, he is also quite strong.

In 2001, the movie "Beautiful Mind" in which he participated was also a big hit.

"From production costs to distribution costs, to the cast of the crew, our "Return to Alabama" is simply a new work by Wald Pictures."

"The most important thing is that it is only a niche literary and youth movie, and our "Love in Alabama" movie, but a love, comedy movie, is most suitable for self-healing trauma after 9/11.

"Released at the same time?"

"What are they comparing to us?!"

CEO Olmedo’s words are full of disdain.

He is sure that they will win this time!

An executive followed up and touted: "Mr. Olmedo was right. If Wald Pictures produced the "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" movies, we would definitely not win; the same , Comparing "Love to New Jersey" and "Love to Alabama", we definitely won, and there is no second result."

The voice fell.

The executives around nodded ~www.novelmtl.com~ in agreement.

The niche literary and youth movies have become synonymous with "losing money and earning praise" in Hollywood since 1990. It is almost impossible to succeed at the box office.

There are too many failed cases!

.......

Both Wald Pictures’ new film "Love Return to New Jersey" and Touchstone Pictures’ new film "Love Return to Alabama" were released on January 9 at the same time.

The film "Love Return to New Jersey", opened up to 920 cinemas;

The film "Return to Alabama", the number of movie theaters opened up to 1010;

The number of movie theaters opened is almost the same.

Touchstone Films’ new work thinks it will win, and it is certain that this time it will be able to completely crush Wald’s new work. The vast majority of other Hollywood film companies, including the media, also hold a positive attitude.
