Chapter 295 Jinshuguang Entertainment Group Inventory in the First Half of the Year

August 1.

On this day, Zucker managed to give himself a day off.

But even so, Zucker couldn't stay idle.

"Boss, this is the business report of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group for the first half of the year, um, and there are a number of documents that you need to sign and implement."

Alexander, director of the President's Office and chief assistant to the chairman of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, came to Zhu Ke's villa early in the morning.

"Oh! NO~!"

Zucker slapped his forehead in despair, and immediately collapsed on the sofa.

"My rare vacation was ruined by you like this, Alexander." Zuke resented.

Alexander sneered: "Boss, you should understand that entrepreneurs don't have real vacations!"

What can Zucker do?

He is desperate!

The development of the business has grown to the height it is today. This giant ship is no longer something that Zhu Ke can stop if he wants to. Thousands of employees of the entire Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group are eating with Zu Ke, and it is impossible for them to make the company stagnate. former. Even if Zucker didn't want to move, others would push Zucker forward.

"Come on, come on, my mother-in-law is fighting too~!"

Zucker reluctantly took over the thick stack of documents and flipped through them.

The first thing that catches the eye is the business statements of various subsidiaries of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group in the first half of the year.

Wald Pictures:

As an important part of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, it occupies a crucial position in the group.

From the beginning of January this year to the end of July this year, it lasted nearly 8 months.

Wald Pictures has successively produced and distributed three films, "My Great Greek Wedding", "Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Blair Witch"; of course, it also undertakes and distributes films from other film and television companies. This part Up to 7 movies.

"My Big Grecian Wedding": made $259 million at the North American box office and $138 million in overseas markets,

The cumulative global box office is as high as 397 million US dollars;

Moreover, the film broke the box office record for a romantic film in North America in one fell swoop.

"Spartan 300 Warriors": It has achieved a box office of 210 million US dollars; the overseas market box office is even more expensive, and has already achieved a box office of 207 million US dollars.

Global box office total: $417 million.

At present, there are still a small number of long-term screenings in North American theaters, and it is expected to fetch several million dollars at the box office.

"Boss, just relying on the box office revenue of these two films, our performance in the first half of the year was higher than the top second-tier DreamWorks."

Alexander said with a smile: "Of course, if you add the benefits of "Blair Witch", even if you compare it with the Big Six, it's not too much."

Zucker nodded.

Immediately, he opened the income statement of "Blair Witch".

As of June 30, "Blair Witch" has already earned $140 million at the box office in North America and $56 million overseas, with a global total of nearly $200 million.

The lowest-budget movie ever made at $60,000 really shocked many people.

"The domestic and overseas box office of the three films alone is as high as 430 million US dollars."

As for the other 7 films, they were produced by other films and distributed by Wald Pictures, taking 9% to 15% of the North American box office revenue.

Overall a lot of profit.

A full profit of millions of dollars.

Although this profit amount is inconspicuous compared to the profits of the six major distributions, it has increased by 42% compared with the distribution profit of Wald Pictures in the same period last year.

This is progress.

The revenue of the offline market, the revenue of Wald Pictures, has also increased a lot compared to the same period last year.

DVD, video tape market, peripheral games, clothing, portrait rights, dolls, books, etc., are all profitable.

In the box office market, excluding various movie costs, publicity expenses, cinema chain sharing, copying and other material expenses, taxes, etc., the cumulative net profit of Wald Pictures in the first half of this year was 240 million US dollars.

Of course, if peripheral profits, copyright operations and other profits are added, then the overall net profit will exceed 320 million US dollars.

"Boss, this $320 million is the result of pure profit. Compared with the second half of this year, the company will no longer be troubled by the lack of cash." Alexander said with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Ke pouted and said, "It's too early to mention these. You don't know the urination of the theater party. If we don't delay it for a few months, can we expect all the profits to be accounted for? Can we make a first move? The second batch and the second batch of box office are divided, that would be good.”

Alexander: "......"

Well, Zucker is squeamish now, it's just because he got cheap and behaved well.

It is true that the film and television market is making money, but as Zucker said, film is an investment with high risk and high returns, but with a long payback period.

If it wasn't for Zucker, Wald Pictures would not have made such a high profit in the first half of today.

In the first half of this year, Wald Pictures was indeed a majestic one.

"Where did this go?"

"I am now waiting for the release of Finding Nemo. Once it is released, even if it can't break the monopoly of Pixar and DreamWorks on 3D computer animation, it is bound to allow Waterworld Animation to occupy a place in the animation field."

In addition to the strong performance of Wald Pictures, the remaining subsidiaries of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group also performed outstandingly.

TV Group, Jin Shuguang Music, Water World Animation, SpongeBob SquarePants House, Jin Shuguang Publishing, Under Armour Sporting Goods Company, and Manchester City Club also saw a corresponding increase in their overall revenue compared to the same period last year.

Especially the TV group, the performance is even more amazing!

It administers the UPN television network, which ranks third in the limited pay area of ​​the United States, and the WB television network, which ranks eighth in the public television field in the United States.

In the hit TV series such as "Prison Break", "The Walking Dead", "The Big Bang Theory", "Broken Sisters";

Popular variety shows such as "The Talent Show", "Millionaire", "WWE Reality Wrestling Entertainment", "I'm a Celebrity";

In addition, it has received strong support from nearly 3,000 films in the Wald Films library, attracting a large audience.

With many halos, Jinshuguang TV Group's turnover in the first half of this year exceeded 3.2 billion US dollars in one fell swoop, and its profit was as high as 510 million US dollars.

This performance ranks 7th in the American TV field, second only to ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, Paramount Online, and Comcast 6 TV groups.

This achievement is really awesome. After all, which of the other six TV groups has decades of history, has worked hard for a long time, and has a very wide coverage.

The size of Jin Shuguang TV Group is still not small compared with that.

But even so, Zhu Ke's name of "Little TV Emperor" was completely recognized!
