"Ice Age" is still in theaters, and Ryan has no plans to return to New Zealand for the time being. Anyway, "Inception" officially started filming in early June, and the pre-production work of the crew is temporarily handed over to Emma Thomas.
Right now Orion Pictures needs him to handle a lot of things personally.
"Rush Hour", which was released in March, has already begun to reduce the scale of its releases. Next, more and more large-scale commercial films will be released in the summer file, and the North American release time of "Rush Hour" will not be too far away.
The biggest disadvantage of spring releases is that when the summer is approaching, theater companies will reduce the number of screens of films that have already been released, leaving enough screens for commercial films released in the summer.
However, after more than two months of release, "Rush Hour" has already passed its hit period. The North American box office is fixed at about 156 million U.S. dollars, and the overseas box office is fixed at about 130 million U.S. dollars.
Orion Films has received the first North American box office share from theater companies, and a lot of copyright income has also arrived, and overseas box office needs to wait for a while.
Excluding film shooting costs, publicity and distribution expenses, the box office revenue alone can bring Orion Pictures hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
There are also a lot of income from peripheral copyrights, derivative products, etc. North America alone can bring in tens of millions of dollars in revenue, and the combined income of various overseas countries can also bring in tens of millions of dollars.
The shooting cost of "Rush Hour" was only 35 million US dollars.
Orion Films, which has overseas distribution channels, has a terrifying revenue capacity.
Another film, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, is still wrangling. Twentieth Century Fox has been delaying the payment of the film's first North American box office share.
"The North American box office share of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the payment of peripheral copyright income should not be a big problem."
In the conference room of Orion Films, Nancy Utley just talked about the North American box office share of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the payment of peripheral copyright income.
"Twentieth Century Fox can at most delay for a while, otherwise we can solve the problem through legal channels."
Orion Pictures, with sufficient funds, would not mind a multi-year legal battle with 20th Century Fox.
Even, being able to go to court with 20th Century Fox may not be a good thing for Orion Pictures, and it can play a long-term promotional advertisement all over the world.
"Unless Tom Rothman can ignore the opinions of the board and shareholders, it will never cost tens of millions of dollars."
Speaking of this, Nancy Utley suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Facing Orion Pictures' terrifying revenue and sufficient funds, many of 20th Century Fox's methods were useless.
Even, in a short period of time, 20th Century Fox may not be able to mobilize more funds than Orion Pictures.
"As for the overseas box office!" She spread her hands, "I think everyone should have known about 20th Century Fox's plan."
It is almost equivalent to saying that Orion Pictures chose to give up the overseas income of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Ryan thought for a while, "Ignore the overseas income of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" for the time being, and try to get the film's North American income first."
"Another piece of news is released, saying that "Inception" will be released at the same time as "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace"."
Sofia Coppola was taken aback, and quickly said: "You don't really intend to do this, do you?"
The eyes of the rest of the people were also focused on Ryan.
"How is it possible!" Ryan naturally didn't really have such a plan, "It's just a news release."
Hearing what Ryan said, Sofia Coppola couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise she really didn't know how to face George Lucas.
"Just to create a little pressure on 20th Century Fox, Sophia explained to George for me." Ryan explained.
Several people felt relieved, as long as they didn't really intend to do so.
No one dares to underestimate the influence of Star Wars and George Lucas.
The original "Inception" had a North American box office of US$292 million, an overseas box office of US$532 million, and a global box office of US$825 million.
"Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" has a North American box office of 431 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 643 million US dollars, and a global box office of 1.074 billion US dollars.
The release of the two films at the same time is undoubtedly a lose-lose situation.
Ryan would never do that unless it was a headshot.
"By the way, how are the preparations for "Blade Warrior" going!" Ryan asked suddenly.
Compared with "Tomb Raider", "Rush Hour 2", "American Pie 2", which is also under preparation, and "Death is Coming" which is currently being filmed.
The budget of "Blade Warrior" is only 45 million US dollars, which is far lower than the investment budget of "Tomb Raider" and "Rush Hour 2".
However, the shooting of "Blade Warrior" has a different meaning, which is related to Orion Pictures' future series of film shooting plans.
Jon Felthammer was shocked, and immediately said: "The director is tentatively determined to be Stephen Norrington. The crew will officially start filming in July, and I will personally serve as the producer of the film."
"And Wesley Snipes has agreed to sign a three-film contract at one time, and he can join the crew next month."
"There is no need to save money." Ryan said very seriously: "And make a publicity plan for this film in advance, and even increase the publicity budget."
"Even if the film cannot reap the investment cost from the North American box office market, the release of "Blade Warrior" should be used to hype up the popularity of Marvel superhero movies."
Marvel Comics superhero movies are not created overnight, but a market that has been cultivated through the release of one film after another, gradually accumulating a large number of fan groups.
Only then did series of films such as "Spiderman" and "Iron Man" sell well.
"Don't worry." Jon Fertimer nodded emphatically.
"Demi!"
Ryan's eyes fell on Demi, "From the end of the year, we will gather funds, and the company will have a relatively large merger and acquisition plan."
"Sophia, remember to inform Mr. Swift that some of the funds will be withdrawn from the stock market before the end of the year."
"No problem." Demi agreed.
Sofia Coppola also agreed.
"Can you explain it?"
"Next, which company are you planning to acquire!" Nancy Utley was a little at a loss.
Such a large mobilization of funds, I am afraid that the acquisition is not a small company.
Could it be DreamWorks Animation Studios!
"Amazing Comics." Ryan didn't hide anything, "I plan to fully acquire Marvel Comics in the name of Orion Pictures."
Ryan has remained in close contact with Avi-Allard since meeting him, and has even bought some Marvel Comics shares with his help.
Marvel Comics?
"Blade Warrior"!
Nancy-Utley took a deep breath, slightly lost in thought.
This is the plan that Orion Pictures has been hiding in the dark, whether it is overseas distribution channels, or a stake in the digital field and Weta special effects studio.
Even "Blade", which is in preparation for filming, and Marvel Comics, which is preparing to be acquired, are all centered around superhero character movies.
In other words, "Blade Warrior" is just the beginning, a water test work of Orion Pictures, and the next Marvel Comics superhero movie is the core of the whole plan.
However, she only guessed part of it right.
"Are you going to direct it yourself?" she asked, staring closely at Ryan.
For such an important plan, Ryan will definitely choose to direct it himself.
"X-Men!"
"When the filming of "Inception" is over, I will personally prepare for the filming of "X-Men."
"Before that, Orion Pictures needs to successfully acquire Marvel Comics." Ryan said lightly.
If "Blade" is just testing the waters, then "X-Men" will be the beginning of Marvel's superhero movies.
As for the Marvel Comics!
As long as Avi-Allard makes progress, Orion Pictures will immediately form an acquisition team and head to Marvel Comics headquarters.
The rest of the preparatory work is proceeding step by step, and the only thing Ryan needs to focus on is raising enough funds.
Fortunately, "Ice Age" is a big hit right now, and for a long time, Orion Pictures will receive a sum of money every month.
In addition, there are revenues from "Rush Hour" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." UU reading
What's more, Blue Sky Studio is about to go public soon.
Ryan hired a professional team from Wall Street when he started working on Ice Age. A detailed listing plan was formulated for Blue Sky Studios, which is almost a replica of the listing of Pixar Animation Studios in 1995.
The film "Ice Age" was released on May 15, and it was a big hit at the North American box office on the first day.
On May 26th, Blue Sky Studio was officially listed on NASDAQ, offering shares at a price of US$23 per share.
Many people Ryan knows, including actors, producers, directors, etc. who have worked with him before, even Cindy Crawford and Charlize Theron have invested a lot of money in stocks.
Even Swift used a hidden fund account to buy a lot of shares in Blue Sky Studios.
In less than half an hour, it soared from $23 per share to $45 per share, and the market value of Blue Sky Studio directly exceeded $1.6 billion.
"Ice Age", which is currently being screened at the global box office, is expected to bring in a lot of revenue. Blue Sky Studio's revenue report can definitely exceed the expectations of most investors.
In just one day, not only Ryan's personal wealth skyrocketed, but also many friends he knew also made a fortune from it.
Cindy Crawford has considered cashing out her stock and buying a mansion in Beverly Hills.
Charlize Theron is preparing to donate medical equipment, medicines and food worth millions of dollars to South Africa in her own name.
Ryan can't cash out immediately, and he can't sell any shares during the six-month lock-up period.
Of course, after the lock-up period is over, he will let Swift gradually reduce the shares of Blue Sky Studio, and wait for the Nasdaq Internet crisis to break out, and then buy it back at a low price.
Once you come and go, you can make a fortune.
