Disaster Artist

Like Lion Pictures, the theater alliance is also standing at the crossroads of history. Facing the menacing Blue Whale Pictures, they need to make a decision.

There's no need to wait for John Wick 2, Starfall, or The Purge 2, theater alliances hold hostages now:

"Deadpool".

As long as the theater alliance reaches a consensus and join forces to exert pressure, they can give Blue Whale Films a warning. At the same time, they will warn Lion Films and Damen Films not to have other ideas. They are partners on the same front. count.

However, this method is not perfect, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred—

The theater alliance must also bear some box office losses.

Judging by the opening weekend box office figures for "Deadpool," the losses may not be small.

It's just that everything needs to be looked at in the long run. From the perspective of the overall plan, some sacrifices are very necessary.

There are some differences within the theater alliance. They have no way to unify their opinions, but the problem is that if the theater alliance cannot unite in this matter, the lack of overall deterrence is second. It is fatal to expose that the theater alliance is not of one mind.

Isn't this equivalent to handing the knife directly to Blue Whale Films?

The debate within the theater alliance has continued.

Then…

Then, "Deadpool" exploded.

It detonates in a manner that is earth-shattering, devastating, and sweeping away thousands of troops. It is mighty and vigorous, and completely subverts the laws of the market.

For the theaters, what they care about is not the restricted-rated attribute of "Deadpool", but the schedule chosen by Blue Whale Films:

Autumn file.

Every autumn, the theaters are cold and empty, which also means that liquidity and daily income have entered a dry season.

To be honest, compared with film companies, theater chains are more concerned about the development of schedules. How to attract audiences to movie theaters in winter and autumn has always been a difficult problem for major theater chains.

It is precisely because of this that major theater chains often continue to awaken the enthusiasm of the audience through member discounts, promotional activities, classic screenings, etc.

At the beginning of the year, "Raid 2" broke the shackles and rewrote a series of box office records in the spring file. The theater alliance was absolutely happy for Blue Whale Films and Lu Qian, and they almost sent a pennant to express their gratitude.

"Deadpool" is scheduled to be released in the fall. The theater alliance didn't say it directly, but internally it received rave reviews, and they were willing to increase the proportion of films scheduled. They needed a film company like Blue Whale Films that focused on developing unpopular schedules.

All the way to "The Woman Who Left", completely changing the position of their interests.

but!

However!

Actually!

The next week's box office of "Deadpool" completely rewrote history with an unreasonable attitude.

Then, there is no more then.

The theater alliances have fallen silent. Although there is no exchange of opinions, it can be seen from the number of film schedules that one or two are increasing the number of screens and the proportion of film schedules—

It is a fool to have money and not make money.

As for sanctions?

You can wait a little longer.

"Anyway, 'The Woman Who Left' hasn't been released yet, so there's still some time left."

"We are all legal businessmen, and we have fulfilled our contractual obligations after signing the contract. We are not the kind of villains who stab a knife in the back."

"We can't hurt our friendship with Lion Films for many years because of Blue Whale Films, can't we? Gu Qingyuan and I are friends."

"Everything is in accordance with the contract, in black and white, I am a good citizen who abides by the law. For other things, you can wait. Waiting is fine."

blah blah blah.

There is no need to say anything at all, one or two are righteous and passionate, scrambling to show their innocence and draw a line from conspiracy.

Businessmen chasing profit is sometimes a bad thing, but sometimes it is also a good thing.

Perhaps, some people will wonder, how could the theater alliance be so stupid, giving up its overall plan for a little bit of petty profit?

How can it be!

Actually, it's not that complicated.

In the final analysis, the theater alliance does not take streaming media seriously. Although they feel threatened, they do not believe that Echo can subvert the industry structure; For Whale Films, things are still under their control.

This self-confidence, which can also be called "arrogance", caused their crisis to never be tightened. They took it for granted that they needed to sanction Blue Whale Films, but there was no need to rush at this moment, even if they missed the "death". Waiter", there are countless opportunities in the future, there is really no need to be so anxious.

In essence, the position of the cinema alliance is the same as that of Ning Ye, Gu Qingyuan, and other film companies. Prejudice and narrowness doom them not to see the truth.

Just look at the major film companies. It has been more than two years since Zhai Zhai has been on the rise, and Echo has been out for half a year, but they still haven’t made any moves. They don’t regard streaming media as a threat at all. Despite the heavy weight, Lan Chuan is estimated to be peaceful.

As a result, the theater chain alliance failed to reach a consensus, and all the flags and drums died down. Although the problem was still not resolved, it was only slightly postponed, but it is undeniable that Blue Whale Pictures has gained some time.

and-

The theater alliance is also happy to hear it, because the follow-up box office of "Deadpool" still can't stop, proving their wisdom with a series of gratifying figures.

In autumn, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has always been deserted and lacks strong competitors.

Although there are new works released every week, these works lack a systematic plan, and the major film companies still lack substantive actions to care about the spring and autumn files. After all, the summer file is the focus of the annual plan. Of course, it lacks the overall layout of Blue Whale Films.

Therefore, the final works released on the market have a variety of genres, styles, and themes, which are messy and chaotic, just like the chemical reaction of the experimental class——

Don't know what it is, but just mess around and see what happens.

It is conceivable that these works cannot pose a threat to "Deadpool" at all.

It can be seen from the global weekend box office rankings at a glance:

First week of October.

"Deadpool" is on the mend, writing history with a box office of 1.33 billion in its opening weekend. Even in the summer file, there is no doubt that it can easily reach the top of the championship. In the autumn file without competitors, it is even more outstanding.

Seven Seas Media's low-budget thriller and suspense movie "The Girl on the Train" relied on an excellent marketing strategy to set off a viral video frenzy on social networks. At first, it thought it could bring a threat, but it encountered the outbreak of "Deadpool", and the movie finally died. Was completely submerged in the frenzy.

To be precise, the word-of-mouth and box office performances were mediocre, not bad but also lackluster. Finally, the opening weekend handed over 100 million box office figures—

Nobody cares.

In front of such a phenomenal performance as "Deadpool", there is really nothing worth talking about.

Of course, what the theater alliance and the major film companies really care about is the follow-up performance of "Deadpool". What does this mean for the restricted genre and the autumn file? To what extent can "Deadpool" raise this ceiling, and what does it mean for the entire film market?
