Walleye | Report Broken funds, 29/08/2011: Hurricane week
Sometimes it's not about the movie, not Lfrnz'iiz, no marketing and no date. Sometimes it is simply a matter of the weather. The weather over the weekend, many parts of the US, no one knows what. Hurricane Irene paralyzed the northeastern part of the country, including urban centers of New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Boston. And even if the end result was a little Less movie of Roland Emmerich, and city was flooded and washed into the water or rose heaven in a storm, thousands of theaters were closed, and those that were open were empty while people guarding the house or watching the storm on TV. In other parts of the US and Canada, where Irene did not touch , business was as usual, but the impact on the funds was felt. Add to that the fact that the end of August and early September is already one of the weaker coffers periods a year, and you have a poor weekend even more than two weeks preceding miserable.
Three new films have achieved quite small amounts, but as in any case, no one expected much from the weekend, import export company all three films of the relatively small budgets, and no bigger disaster. Successful new movie of the week is "Colombiana" (second place), who got $ 10.4 million, and unfortunately continues the tradition that calls for action movies starring women do not make serious money. Film, produced by Luc Besson wrote, Zoe Saldana stars as Colombian girl who grew up to be destroying to avenge her parents, or as can be summarized in one shirt:
"Do not Be Afraid of the Dark" is a horror movie filmed two years ago Bmirmaks, stuck in limbo when the company folded, saved, moved company, declined, and eventually got stuck on a weekend where the weather killed him ($ 8.5 million). What a bummer. "Our Idiot Brother", a comedy with Paul Rudd, got even less - $ 7 million.
The only film that seemed Irene moves him is not "Help". Last week it was a surprise hit, reached import export company first place; This week he stayed there - not a remarkable achievement, given the poor competition: $ 14.5 million were enough import export company - but did it with a decline import export company of only 27%. Just for comparison, "Conan the Barbarian" dropped 68% this week, and even "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" popular lost 45%. So drop by about 27% of hurricanes weekend ?! This raises some question seriously import export company "Help" was going down, if at all, while the weekend was clear to partly cloudy. The film has already put $ 96 million in revenues have nearly quadrupled His budget.
If movies coming out this time fail at the box office for years, why spend movies studios during this period, as has been scientifically proven that they will be a failure? And if the answer is' they do not believe in them enough import export company to put them in the dead of winter \ Summer "- why studios are spending movies they do not believe in them?
And the other option Red Fish on 30/08/2011 00:21
High budget films, at some point in the production process it became clear that they simply poor / non-commercial / receive test scores radiation threats. Studio clear that he would not cover the investment, but instead to shelve the film altogether better import export company to release it in the weak, reduce losses (and hey, maybe then he will succeed in spite of everything. There are surprises in life).
When confirming a movie, do it often with the expectation it would be worth the investment in it, hoping it would be a hit or at least attract an audience over time. At one time, sometimes even during import export company filming, studio heads already understand a great success would not be here, but you can not stop shooting in the middle. There is a whole team to sign contracts and supported by various associations and must complete the production to the end. Moreover, that the money has been spent on the movie and the people who work on it will pay anyway (happens even receive a salary without shot one frame, just that the contract requires). At this point, even if the studio did not believe it'll box office, ticket sales will return at least part of the investment in it. So invest less in advertising and trying to push the film on weak as it is considered to be low income reasonable in relation to the marketing budget. This is only one side of the matter. There is also a situation, I do not quite know how it works, where the studio did not actually lose money on the film, because low advertising budget and various arrangements with distributors and cinemas are sufficient to recoup the investment. I'm sure there are still weak in the distribution considerations. Just as studios announce in advance who spread a film on attractive (to armor future dates before import export company even announcing what films will be distributed among them), they also keep certain films dates unpopular, because it is very expensive to issue and publish all the movies on the weekend strong.
You have to remember that if all, except one, will avoid releasing new films, that single film might become a success, since it has no real competition (assuming import export company it is a low budget film). So I would expect to find in this time of the year expensive failures and low budget films. However, I did not verify that.

And divide between them the revenues (Details import export company distribution variables Movie film and each agreement, but the standard import export company agreement is something like: the cinema is committed to screen import export company the film for at least two weeks, and during those two weeks the studio will receive 70% of revenues; if the film will continue to show the same movie even then, the studio will receive 30% of his income in the next few weeks, and the film will retain the rest. Overall, out of the studio gets usually around 60% of the money).
(All this, of course, the United States. Land distribution companies are also owns movie theaters, so they project movies in cinema "home" every division is not relevant, they get 100% of the money. How exactly are divided among them as one of the films screened in film the other - I have no idea).
To play a movie one more need to copy, production costs money (although this era of digital projection less significant), which is an additional cost to the studio, and the need to operate the cinema
