box office and word-of-mouth dark horse " Removes Three Evils in One Week " was released for 12 days, and the box office passed the 400 million mark. For this movie with long-term potential, the total box office forecast in the mainland given by professional platforms reached 561 million.
Movies in Taiwan, China, do not have the same high pay and high production costs as those in mainland China. The cost of "Chou Chu Removes Three Evils" should not be high, but it is actually difficult to make back the money in Taiwan alone. Data shows that "Chou Chu Removes Three Evils" is in It was released in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China. The box office in Taiwan was 1.48 million US dollars, NT$46 million, and just over 10 million yuan. Anyone who has watched the movie knows very well that such box office results will never be able to recover the money. But coupled with the current box office of 400 million in the mainland, it should be a huge profit! Is this really the case with
? With a box office of 400 million in the Mainland, how much can the film studio get? The answer may disappoint you.
Currently, the movies regularly released in domestic theaters can be roughly divided into three types in terms of distribution methods: domestic films (including co-produced films), imported films and approved films.
Needless to say, for domestic films, the split ratio is roughly fixed. The producers and distributors share 37%-39.5% of the box office split, and the rest goes to theaters and theaters, as well as to pay special film funds. Some of them will have agency fees from China Film. The 37%-39.5% box office split is divided between the producer and the distributor. Generally speaking, the producer gets 28% and the distributor gets 15%, but in fact it is not that high. It depends on both parties. Agreement.
For some movies that sell well and are obviously profitable, because the market is so huge, in the process of competition among multiple distributors, the concept of guaranteed distribution will be proposed. For example, Stephen Chow's New Year's film is operated in this way. Guaranteed distribution will first ensure that the producer will not lose money. On top of the guaranteed box office, the split ratio between the two parties may be further adjusted, so that the distributor can get more.
Let’s talk about "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils". This film was funded by a production company in Taiwan, China, and the actors are all local actors. In addition, the mainland and Taiwan have not launched a co-production mechanism (unlike the mainland and Hong Kong). So strictly speaking, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is not a domestic film, but a Chinese-language film, so the distribution is not the distribution mechanism of domestic films (little pinks, don't argue, the argument is yours).
Since this movie was released in Taiwan very early, and it was launched on Netflix on the first day of its release, it is unlikely that it will be introduced in the form of imported movies. It will be more in the form of batch films, which is used by the distributor Alibaba. A relatively small amount of money bought the copyright for the mainland release from the film studio. The box office sales in the mainland are divided between the distributor and the cinema, and have nothing to do with the film company. If this is the case, the nine Taiwanese producers of "Zhou Chu Destroy Three Evils", It is estimated that watching the box office of more than 400 million in the mainland will shed tears and regret all day long.
, but it is not ruled out that it will be introduced in the form of imported films, which is another algorithm.
First of all, whether it is an imported accounted film or a batch film, only China Film and Huaxia Film have relevant qualifications. Therefore, although "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is distributed by Alibaba, the distribution company in the information introduction is still China Film, and other imported films They're all pretty much the same.
Importing an account-sharing film is equivalent to the producer entrusting a domestic distributor to distribute it as an agent in the mainland, and enjoy a proportional share of the box office share of the film's release in the mainland. The clear rules are 25-35% for the producer and 17% for the distribution agent. But as mentioned before, no matter what form it is released in, theaters and theaters currently take the lion's share, while the film studio and distributor take the small part, with the highest being 39.5%. According to the data, the film studio's share of "The Three Evils" is only 33% %. Generally speaking, if you get the top ratio, the film producer can get about 22.9%, and the distribution agent can get about 17%, but after "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils", it is 33%. Both parties will deduct a few points, so "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" The nine production companies of "Exterminate Three Evils" can only get less than 20% of the box office share. Even if it goes too far and can be divided into 20%, it will only be 80 million.
However, with 80 million yuan, plus Taiwan’s box office equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" should not be a big problem, but this figure is not as much as Jia Ling alone.
