Chapter 122 Surreal Scary Box Office

<!--Chapter content start-->

Different from what I experienced in my previous life, in this time and space in the United States, there is a special film box office evaluation agency, and the box office of each film evaluated by this agency is almost the same as the actual box office revenue.

Therefore, it is very convenient to log in to such websites on the Internet and inquire about certain information you want to inquire from the websites.

For the box office revenue of "Up", Kim Hyun-tae could have asked the animation production company, but he was too lazy to make such a phone call, so he simply thought of finding a box office evaluation agency to check while he was browsing the web. All right.

Anyway, it's very convenient, isn't it?

In this way, with an uneasy mood, Kim Hyun-tae opened a website called [Warren Weifu Box Office Evaluation]. This website not only estimates the box office of every Hollywood movie, but also does movie reviews. fame and influence.

Therefore, choosing such a website, at least the data evaluated by it, is still very reliable.

It is precisely for such a reason that Kim Hyun-tae chose this website.

Entering the website page, what appeared in front of Kim Hyun-tae were stills or covers of movies. Generally speaking, the structure of the website is not too unusual.

It was easy to find the movie evaluation data column. After entering the words "Up", Kim Hyun-tae clicked to start searching.

Soon, the relevant information about "Up" was displayed one by one, including the box office revenue data of the film, as well as the film review information related to the film, which is indeed very convenient.

Kim Hyun-tae clicked on the estimated box office revenue information of the movie on one side of the website, and began to read the content inside.

The data produced by the Warren Weifu website is very detailed, allowing people to know everything they want to know at a glance.

According to the data on the website, the income of "Up" during the two-month release period should be around 600 million US dollars, and the income after the share with the theaters is excluded.

However, considering that the population base of this time and space is ten times that of the original time and space, such a box office revenue is obviously not very good.

Divide 600 million US dollars by 10, and it is only 60 million US dollars.

Grandma's. In two months, the box office revenue was only 60 million?

After Jin Xiantai saw this data, he was stunned for an instant.

"Impossible, isn't it? Wasn't the word of mouth pretty good during the film's release? It stands to reason that the box office should be very high, but why is it like this now?"

For a moment, Jin Xiantai also murmured in his heart. He thought there was something wrong.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be like this against the current word-of-mouth of "Up".

Then he continued to read, and he found something.

In the box office revenue data evaluation of the website, the reasons why the film's revenue evaluation is somewhat less optimistic are listed.

The reason is very simple. It is because such a cartoon film has never appeared in this time and space at all, so the website believes that William Cartoon Animation Production Company must have reached some agreement with some theaters behind the scenes in order to allow this cartoon film to be released smoothly.

Even make some interest concessions.

So, despite the fact that "Up" has a good reputation and many people watch it, in fact [William Cartoon Animation Company], the producer, might not be able to make much money.

After all, those theaters risked such an unprecedented cartoon film. In order to protect their own interests, they will definitely set very harsh conditions.

At the same time, [William Cartoon Animation Company], this time is not an attempt to test the waters, and it is unlikely that it is too confident in this film.

From a comprehensive perspective, the website believes that the producer can only get so much box office revenue after deducting most of the income from the theaters.

Well, don't say it, this really makes some sense.

But after reading all the data and the survey summary of the website, Jin Xiantai curled his lips.

Although the website's evaluation is very reasonable. But in fact, there are still some inside stories that they can't understand.

It's very simple. When Anne worked behind the scenes and asked Dave to lead the team to help Kim Hyun-tae settle the issue of the theaters, she signed a gambling agreement with those theaters.

this matter. The outside world is still unclear.

Therefore, the website gave such an assessment, but they can't be blamed, who made them not know the inside story.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae feels that it is obviously unrealistic to know the box office revenue of "Up" through such websites.

I didn't want to call the animation company. But now it seems that it is impossible not to make a phone call to inquire.

Well, I'd better make a phone call myself.

In the end, Kim Hyun-tae had no choice but to pick up the phone and dialed the number of Louis, the director of the cartoon animation company.

I thought I could simplify things a little bit, but I went astray instead.

For such a result, Kim Hyun-tae was a little dumbfounded.

Looking at the time on the bottom right of the computer monitor, it is now 16:24 in the afternoon. After Kim Hyun Tae thought he had finished talking with the animation company, he went to Demi's house to pick up his daughter Coco. In the evening, he planned to take Coco out for Chinese food.

"Hello, this is William Cartoon Animation, and I'm Louis."

"I'm William King. I'd like to inquire about the box office revenue statistics of "Up". Has the company got it yet?"

"Hello, my little boss, the box office statistics of the major theaters have been calculated. According to the agreement, our company can finally get a box office income of 5 billion yuan before tax...Here, I want to congratulate you. I was thinking of telling you, but I didn't expect you to call me to ask about this, little boss..."

Louis on the other end of the phone was still talking non-stop, but Kim Hyun-tae on the other end of the phone was completely stunned and completely sluggish.

At this moment, he couldn't believe what he heard at all.

5 billion box office revenue! ?

Tema's, this is no joke!

Is Louis wrong? How could there be 5 billion in box office revenue?

Fuck!

What Louis said made Jin Xiantai couldn't help bursting out a few foul words in his heart.

To be honest, he couldn't believe what Louis told him about the box office revenue.

After all... this is too surreal.

"Hey, hey, little boss, are you still listening?"

Louis chatted for a while, only to find that the little boss on the other end of the phone, Kim Hyun-tae, was silent. So he asked, and his question finally brought the distracted Jin Xiantai back to reality.

cough cough!

Jin Xiantai coughed, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. In a soothing tone as much as possible, he said to Louis: "Louis, it's not yet April Fool's Day, you're making a big joke, tell me the real box office revenue."

Louis listened. I understood that my little boss didn't believe the box office revenue data I told him at all.

But think about it, the box office revenue of 5 billion is unlikely to be believed by ordinary people.

Moreover, this is a history-breaking cartoon.

Louis, who understood the current mentality of the little boss, raised the corner of his mouth while holding the phone, and then patiently explained.

"Oh, my dear, I don't joke about things like that. If you don't believe me, then I'll tell you the details. You'll see why it's so good at the box office."

Afterwards, Louis began to explain to Kim Hyun-tae in detail.

First of all, "Up" is very popular, so three days after its release, it attracted 30% of the theaters in the United States to find the company to sign the contract, which means that this cartoon movie was released in 30% of the theaters in the United States.

In Kim Hyun Tae's original time and space, the total number of screens in the United States was 39,000.

In this different time and space, due to the expansion of the population base and area, the number of screens in the United States has also increased correspondingly in this time and space, which is quite normal.

Of course, although the number of screens has not been expanded by ten times. But it also tripled accordingly, reaching as many as 110,000 screens.

So according to the calculation of this figure, 30% of the theaters are more than 30,000 screens. This is not a small number.

A screen represents a theater, each theater has about 300-400 seats, and the ticket price is 10 yuan, so according to the attendance rate, there are also ticket prices and the number of shows played in a day. It is easy to calculate the box office.

Of course, don't forget to share the accounts with the theaters.

Well, according to Lewis, "Up" was screened in more than 30,000 theaters, and basically every theater can maintain a 60% attendance rate, and if it maintains this value in the later stage, based on this data, even if A theater has 300 seats, 60% occupancy rate means 180 audiences, and the ticket price is 10 yuan, which is 1,800 yuan.

And it is impossible for each theater to play only one show every day.

Besides, "Up" is the first cartoon movie, especially after the audience has watched it, the evaluation is very good, which has given the film a good reputation, so it has attracted many moviegoers.

Therefore, the number of movies scheduled in these theaters is about three times a day.

Then, there will be 5,400 yuan box office revenue in one day.

"Up" has been released for two months. Based on 60 days, a single theater can get 324,000 yuan at the box office.

After getting this data, it is easy, directly multiply by more than 30,000 theaters, and you can roughly get the box office revenue to be around 10 billion... My darling is scary.

Although there will be some discrepancies in this calculation, it will definitely not be too different.

Of course, this is still without the data before sharing accounts with theaters and paying various high taxes and fees.

So Jin Xiantai secretly calculated in his heart, and finally couldn't help but swear again.

Fuck!

He was taken aback by the figures he had calculated.

Because this number is too big.

But this also shows that Louis told him that the box office revenue of "Up" exceeded 5 billion US dollars, it seems that he is not fooling himself, but is real.

After splitting the accounts with the theaters, it is obvious that the family can indeed get 5 billion in box office revenue.

"My god, wouldn't it be very profitable to engage in film and television entertainment in this time and space!?" Kim Hyun-tae, who was a little excited at first, suddenly had such a thought flash through his mind.

Indeed, according to this kind of data, it is indeed profitable to engage in film and television entertainment.

At this moment, Kim Hyun Tae's mind is full of the box office revenue of 5 billion US dollars, and he can no longer imagine how much 5 billion US dollars is.

Even Kim Hyun-tae had hallucinations, he felt that he was surrounded by hundred-dollar bills with green Franklin's head flying all over the sky.

It has to be said that he was still a silk more than a year ago, but now he heard that he could get 5 billion US dollars before tax with a cartoon movie. This is indeed a bit too surreal.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he will appear in such a situation.

But considering that he has encountered such things as traveling through time and space tunnels, so what is the matter now.

Cut, time travel is a wonderful thing~

But no matter what, "Up" can bring such a large amount of income, it is indeed a good thing for Kim Hyun Tae at the moment, a big good thing.

You know, he is very short of money now.

So, with this income, he doesn't even have to think about taking out a loan, does he? (To be continued.) <!--End of chapter content-->
