    Epix TV is a pay movie channel for North America and Canada. With its unique viewing positioning, it has achieved a good number of users.  This is mainly due to the large film resources of Lionsgate Pictures, Paramount Pictures and MGM Pictures. With this share sale, Paramount's film library contract has also been signed for another five years.  In other words, within the next five years, four film companies will provide resources for Epix, and occasionally some Chinese movies will be released for Americans to adjust their tastes.  Of course, this news did not cause a sensation. There are hundreds of TV stations in the United States, and Epix is ??just one of them that is not very outstanding.  If Summit Entertainment wants to be promoted to a major studio, its own TV station is also indispensable. The acquisition plan does not exceed everyone's expectations.  April is still the off-season for movies. "Weakness" continues to be released and has already grossed 250 million US dollars worldwide. "Red Flame Battlefield 2" has performed generally and has currently received 40 million US dollars at the box office.  The DreamWorks acquisition is still under review, and the filming of "Avengers" is in full swing.  At this time, a personnel change was also quietly happening.  Lionsgate CEO Jon Fellheimer resigned from Lionsgate to join Summit Entertainment and served as the deputy general manager of Summit Entertainment.  The outside world did not know this, but in fact, Filheimer was responsible for helping Summit Entertainment acquire Lionsgate Pictures.  May is approaching, and Carl Icahn is about to launch an attack on Sony. He has recently sold his shares to Shao Shuaijun personally.  Regardless of whether Sony can be trapped in the end, this deal is the topic that should be paid to Summit Entertainment.  Shao Shuaijun holds 29.7 shares, and Summit Entertainment holds 22.4, which adds up to 52.1 shares, as well as 3.2 shares acquired successively on the stock market. They can completely dominate the decision-making of Lionsgate Pictures.  Jon Fellheimer is the person who made the transition from Lionsgate to Summit Entertainment smooth.  At the end of April, another news was announced.  Summit Entertainment acquired Netflix for US$650 million.  Netflix is ??an online video rental provider that provides a large number of DVDs, allows customers to quickly and easily select videos, and delivers them for free.  And provides Internet on-demand streaming in the United States and Canada.  Netflix is ??not a big company and does not have much profit. Summit Entertainment acquired this company to expand its sales channels.  As we all know, box office and DVD have always been the two pillars of movie income. Summit Entertainment¡¯s box office has always been good, but DVD is lackluster.  The acquisitions of Lionsgate Pictures and Netflix were both for DVD sales channels.  At the same time, Netflix will also supplement Dingfeng Video¡¯s paid online videos and expand Dingfeng Entertainment¡¯s business scope on the Internet.  Relying on genuine channels, Netflix will surpass Apple and become the number one online movie revenue company in the United States. If Time Video is also included, it will be the number one in the world.  In the future, movie theaters and the Internet will be the two trump channels for movie broadcasts. Dream Chaser Entertainment is laying out On April 28, 2011, the fourth movie "Thor" planned by the Marvel Cinematic Universe began to be released in 56 countries outside North America.  It will be released first in 7,250 regions.  This is also an avoidance for the sake of schedule. After all, "Fast and Furious 5" will be released in North America this week. It is necessary to postpone it by a week in North America.  ¡°However, the effect of overseas early release is very good.  It was screened for 5 days in 500 theaters in the UK and Ireland and earned US$9 million at the box office; 579 theaters in France and US$8.1 million at the box office; 513 theaters in South Korea and US$5.7 million; 455 theaters in Italy and US$5.5 million; and 377 theaters in Spain.  With a box office of US$5 million, European countries got off to a good start.  At the same time, "Thor" also grabbed the top box office in some smaller markets, such as Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, etc.  By May 1st, "Thor" had already earned a perfect box office of US$83 million overseas in one weekend.  It will be released in North America from May 6th to 8th.  It was released in 3,955 theaters and grossed US$66 million over the three-day weekend, successfully becoming the box office champion.  So far, the global box office has accumulated to 220 million US dollars. Although it is not as strong as "Iron Man 2", it is still a good performance.  Under the cover of the box office, a silent battle is being waged.  The financial market capital, led by Carl Icahn¡¯s two major hedge funds, began to attack Sony and launched a crazy hostile takeover.  Sony's already poor stock market was shaken by the impact. Sony held an emergency shareholders' meeting and notified Summit Entertainment, requesting that funds be withdrawn from MGM to deal with it.  In response, Mitchell simply said: "No!" "Corporate predator Carl Icahn, the lone wolf of Wall Street, finally targeted Sony! Overseas hot money is madly attacking Sony's stock, which may trigger  The biggest stock market shock after the subprime mortgage crisis!¡± Carl Icahn, a name that scares Wall Street CEOs, became famous for his hostile takeover of TWA.What short companies are best at is acquiring listed companies, then changing the leadership, stimulating performance, and then cashing out the money.  There were rumors that Icahn had set his sights on Warner Bros., but he suddenly made a comeback and rejoined MGM.  It has to be said that predators are predators, and they will cut their throats with blood as soon as they strike.  Sony¡¯s stock plummeted, and most of the funds immediately evaporated.  Several important leaders have appeared on TV again and again to declare that the company's financial health is healthy and that this capital will not succeed!  As a large company that has been in turmoil for decades, shareholders immediately gained confidence with this appearance.  And at this time, it¡¯s time for Summit Entertainment to appear.  After Mitchell said no, he continued to hold Sony's funds out of fear of risks, and then accelerated MGM's restructuring plan so that Sony could not keep up.  Sony President and President Ryoharu Nakaba personally flew to San Francisco, which is another filming location for "Avengers" and is also the new home of Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu.  "President Zhongbo, unfortunately, Summit Entertainment has held a board meeting. We cannot delay or retreat the plan without authorization. This is not in the interests of our shareholders. We deeply regret what happened to Sony. Carl Icahn is a danger  We don't want to offend him." Li Xiuxiu declined Nakabo Ryoji's request with an embarrassed look.  "Please help Mr. Li and Director Shao. Sony is willing to make concessions in the cooperation and let Summit Entertainment take the lead." Nakaba Ryoji said unhurriedly, very leisurely.  Li Xiuxiu still shook her head: "This is not in the interests of chasing dreams. We are an emerging company and our risk resistance is too low. The MGM plan has been aborted, which has a huge impact on us. I'm sorry." "You have already acquired Lucasfilm.  Do you think the industry and DreamWorks still care about MGM's risks?" Ryoji Nakahata was a little anxious.  No matter what he said, Li Xiuxiu just shook her head, while Shao Shuaijun sat aside and revised his storyboard script, showing no intention of getting involved.  "Carl Icahn, the most unwilling person of Dream Entertainment, is willing to offend our Sony company?" Seeing that the request had no effect, Ryoji Nakabachi's tone began to sound threatening.  Before Li Xiuxiu spoke, Shao Shuaijun suddenly raised his head: "I'm really not afraid. Dream Chasing Entertainment can earn 20 billion US dollars a year. If we raise funds, we can raise hundreds of billions of dollars at least. There is really nothing to be afraid of!" "  But you are afraid of risks to MGM's plans!" Nakabachi Ryoji knew that his tone just now was not good, so he softened his tone again.  "Because we are businessmen, we only make money and never lose money. We will not touch any business that may lose money!" We are not speculating.  In the end, Zhongbo Liangji could only stand up and say goodbye angrily: "Director Shao, Mr. Li, Sony can exist for hundreds of years and never falls, and it will be the same this time!" Looking at Zhongba Liangji's back in a hurry, Shao Shuaijun rolled his eyes: "  You will talk loudly and prop up the scene! It¡¯s none of my business, I just want MGM¡¯s film library and Spider-Man!¡±  Just watch." Li Xiuxiu said.  "Whenever he comes back from now on, he won't be allowed in! If he doesn't return Spider-Man in his arms, he'll have to scream. I hate the Japanese the most." Shao Shuaijun said in an angry tone.  Financial people are paying attention to Icahn¡¯s attack on Sony, while ordinary people are paying attention to the box office of ¡°Thor¡±, and life is going on as usual.  From May 13th to 15th, "Thor" continued to top the North American box office list with US$34.5 million. So far, it has accumulated US$120 million in North America and US$290 million in global box office.  Another film, "Red Flame Battlefield 2", has quickly concluded its release, with US$50 million in North America and US$120 million globally, which is a very poor result.  "Weakness" is still in theaters, and any literary film with such a high reputation has a particularly long release period. It currently has a global US$288 million.  From May 20th to 22nd, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" was released, taking away the title of "Thor".  From May 27th to 29th, "Kung Fu Panda 2" produced by DreamWorks Animation was handed over to Summit Entertainment for distribution.  Although the review of the DreamWorks acquisition has not yet been completed, cooperation has already begun.  "Kung Fu Panda 2" had a good opening, with 53.6 million US dollars, beating "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides" to win the weekly championship.  The overseas results are even more impressive, with US$69 million in one week and US$130 million worldwide.  As June is approaching, Summit Entertainment¡¯s ¡°Magic Mike¡±, which will succeed ¡°Teddy Bear¡± and ¡°The Hangover¡± and continue this year¡¯s comedy brand, will be released nationwide.  At this time, the review of the DreamWorks acquisition was finally passed. Summit Entertainment fully acquired DreamWorks Animation for US$2 billion. The positions of the company's original employees remained unchanged, and Jeffrey Katzenberg joined the ranks of top executives.  This well-branded animation film company that has lasted for more than ten years has finally become a part of Dream Chase Entertainment.    On the other hand, with the behind-the-scenes push of Jon Fillheimer, Summit Entertainment successively acquired the shares of several shareholders and successfully merged Lionsgate Pictures into Summit Entertainment.  Jon Fehrheimer, who promoted the acquisition, also received the shares donated by Shao Shuaijun, became a major shareholder of Lionsgate Pictures, and joined the top management of Dream Entertainment Group.  With the exception of MGM, all Summit Entertainment¡¯s territory expansion tasks this year have been completed. The remaining time can be slowly digested and these companies can be organically and harmoniously integrated into the Dream Chaser Entertainment Group.  (To be continued.
