Chapter 131 The Terminator's Income

Just ten days ago, when Qiao Feng was about to finish filming in mainland China and returned to Hong Kong, the Terminator was released for three months and was painting offline from theaters, and the box office in North America received more than 47 million US dollars.

Compared with the North American box office released in 1984, the original Time and Space released in 1984 was nearly 10 million US dollars, which was somewhat beyond Qiao Feng's expectations, but it was actually normal. The original Time and Space released in 1984 was October 26th.

This release time can be quite embarrassing. First of all, the first two weeks of its release were basically the coldest box office period of the year.

Labor Day is on Monday of the first week of September, which is just the time when September is just around three months ahead of Labor Day, which is the hottest summer season of the year.

After Labor Day and before the first weekend of November, the coldest fall season in the year.

The summer season has been completely developed. The autumn season is the time period with the lowest number of moviegoers throughout the year. October 26th is the most embarrassing time period, because it was just the last two weekends in the autumn season.

It was originally the first two weeks when the box office war was in the coldest time period for the whole year. It is conceivable how much worse the box office of the Terminator is than other schedules.

After these two weeks, it is more accurate to be Christmas or holidays again, because during this period, Christmas, gratitude, and New Year's Day are all gathered together, and naturally they start to gather in large numbers.

This is the embarrassing situation when the Original Time and Space Terminator was released. The first was the coldest two weeks, and then the second was the fierce competition for more than two months.

It is not easy to get more than 38 million box office without big-name actors and big-name directors than a R-rated movie with more than 6 million investments.

What is the concept of R-level? It means that audiences aged 13-17 require parents or adults to accompany them to watch.

First of all, audiences under the age of 13 were excluded. If the audiences in 13-17 were not allowed to watch them without their parents, they would not be able to watch them with adults, which would reduce a large part of the audience.

Therefore, it is really not easy for the original time and space Terminator to get more than 38 million box office.

Qiao Feng advanced the filming of Terminator to 1982 and the release to 1983 February 14th. To be honest, this period is not good, but it is much better than the original October 26th.

It will be released on February 14th, not to mention Valentine's Day. The key is that this period is exactly the end of the winter period. Most of the works released in the winter period are artistic films, and there are not many works that can win the reputation and box office in general.

In such a period, a purely commercial film like Terminator is naturally at an absolute box office advantage.

When the Terminator was released for three weeks, it entered the spring period, which was still quite cold, but it was much better than the fall period.

The key is that there is no competition for blockbusters in both winter and spring. The Terminator released during this period not only has enough commercial elements to attract less than many viewers to buy tickets to watch movies, but also has a long and stable time.

Three months are basically the competition between Terminator and some other small production videos, and Terminator has always been in the lead.

When the Terminator is about to draw, the time has just entered May, and it is the beginning of the summer season.

It can be said that the release time of Terminator is really good. I just avoided the time when the two blockbusters gathered in the front and back, and also avoided the coldest period.

Therefore, there was a box office of nearly 10 million US dollars more than the original time and space.

Excluding the 60% of the theaters and publishers, the remaining 40% is about 19 million US dollars. Anne Hurd Company has to pay two million US dollars, and finally Qiao Feng has 17 million US dollars.

But this is just gross profit, and the high tax revenue is only 13 million.

In total, with North American box office revenue, Qiao Feng's investment of $7 million has recovered and he has made another $6 million.

After the overseas release, the box office results will probably be recorded in about 7 million to 10 million US dollars, but this is not tax-deductible.

But these are not big deals. The box office revenue of films released and released in North America accounts for at most 40% and 50% of the total revenue, and the other 50% are videotapes, TV broadcast authorization and other peripheral revenues.

These are all long-lasting income, and generally speaking, they can earn at least 20 million US dollars.

Unlike in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Qiao Feng has written so many high-box movies, and he has copyrighted them, but in the end he got the peripheral income less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

So, making money in North America is still making money.

However, the box office in the surrounding area and overseas is a bit far away. It takes several months, one year, or even longer to get it.

The current account is part of the revenue from the North American box office, not all. It has to wait for a while to get all the accounts.

However, the funds that have been received are enough to launch the movie that Qiao Feng had already agreed to prepare for Guan Zhilin, as well as another movie that he was about to act in person.

"When I was shooting the Five Fortune Stars, weren't those guys taking advantage of them?"

After a fierce battle, Qiao Feng leaned against the bed and smoked afterwards, and Zhong Chuhong nestled in his arms like a kitten and enjoyed the caress of his man.

Hearing Qiao Feng's concerning inquiry, Zhong Chuhong shook her head and said with a nasal tone: "No, I told Brother Sanmao before filming that I would not shoot intimate scenes."

"How do you think your film is filmed?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

"It's pretty good. It's very funny when filming, and people often laugh. I think the box office should be very good." Zhong Chuhong said after thinking about it.

"Is that so? Then my movie matches it, don't you lose a lot of miserable loss?" Qiao Feng looked very frightened, but he looked like he was holding a cigarette in his mouth and couldn't show any fear.

"No, you are the most powerful person. If you lose, it is our film that loses." Zhong Chuhong said without thinking.

"Is the movie you participated in really good? " Qiao Feng chuckled and quipped.

"What's wrong with it? I got all the pay for the movies I should have. Besides, on one side is you and outsiders, of course I look to you and hope your movie will win." Zhong Chuhong said for granted. Of course, there is something she didn't say, that is, Qiao Feng's movies have never lost, so how can it be an exception this time?
