The impact of Carl Icahn, the drag of MGM's restructuring, Sony's military morale, which had been stabilized by the management, fell again, the market collapsed, and the situation was in danger. Moreover, Carl Icahn also encouraged the media to trumpet that Sony would go bankrupt. In addition, Sony's business has been in a slump in recent years, and all aspects of its business have been surpassed by its competitors. Sony finally couldn't hold on. Nakaba Ryozhi came to San Francisco again, spent an entire night, and met Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu. He no longer had the calmness and calmness of the last time, his eyes were bloodshot and looked a bit ferocious. After meeting, Nakabachi Ryoji went straight to the point: "What conditions are required to agree to Sony's divestment of MGM?" Li Xiuxiu did not try to be mysterious and said directly: "We don't want Sony to divest. We don't want to reorganize MGM. If you give up on MGM, you may not have such a good opportunity in the future. "I know that I have always believed that MGM can do something, but Director Shao has no plans to follow up." "Mr. Li, please make a price." "Okay, Sony will transfer its MGM shares to Summit Entertainment at a low price, and at the same time transfer all MGM film copyrights, as well as the copyright of Spider-Man, to make up for Summit Entertainment's loss in MGM. We will agree to Sony¡¯s withdrawal from MGM!¡± Zhongbo Liangji closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said: ¡°We will transfer the copyright and shares to Summit Entertainment as soon as possible.¡± Ryoji is gone. Li Xiuxiu immediately contacted Carl Icahn: "Mr. Icahn, Sony is ready to withdraw its investment from MGM." After you get the things, you can take the film library resources and return the shares to me!¡± ¡°Of course.¡± The battle is over, and the only thing left is the distribution of benefits. Time has arrived on June 3rd, and "Magic Mike" will be released at the same time as "X-Men: First Class" produced by 20th Century Fox. In the end, "X-Men: First Class" took the top spot with US$56 million. Compared with the X-Men series of movies, this movie has a high reputation and can be regarded as a model. However, the opening results are too low, only lower than The first installment in the series was a bit higher, well below 20th Century Fox's expectations. "We will also make a sequel. We believe that with the high reputation of the movie, the sequel will be even better." A spokesman for 20th Century Fox said forcefully. "Compared with the box office failure of "First Class", "Magic Mike" is simply blinding. It cost 7 million US dollars and achieved a first-week performance of 40 million US dollars, making a lot of money. In particular, a large group of macho men selling their muscles are deeply loved by female and gay audiences. They all left messages on Twitter of the lead actor and producer Channing Tatum, asking for a sequel. Summit Entertainment immediately held a press conference with Qian Ning. Qian Ning excitedly confirmed the sequel plan and said: "Yes, yes! We are conceiving it. We hope to write the script as soon as possible and shoot on a larger scale. "Now, we are also preparing to bring "Magic Mike" to the stage. ""Magic Mike" performed well, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" also performed well, taking in US$24.3 million this week, and its performance in overseas markets was amazing. , earned US$126 million, and the global box office has reached US$363 million. From June 10th to 12th, "Kung Fu Panda 2" earned US$16.64 million in North America, and "Magic Mike" earned US$14.95 million. "Weakness" has also officially been released, with US$256 million in North America and US$311 million worldwide, making a huge profit. At this time, Summit Entertainment and Sony Corporation reached an agreement on the film copyright and MGM shares and signed a contract to transfer them. Marvel Comics immediately announced on its official website: "Good news. After friendly negotiations with Sony, the copyright of Spider-Man has returned to Marvel Comics. We are already working on writing a script for Spider-Man, and it is very likely that he will join Marvel Comics." Spider-Man fans can look forward to the second installment of the movie universe. Comic fans clapped their hands and applauded. Bugs is the most popular character in Marvel comics and has many interactions with superheroes, even gay ones! friend. If Xiaochong joins the Women's Federation, it will definitely increase the Women's Federation's influence to a shocking level. Of course, most of the scenes for "Avengers" have been filmed, and it is impossible for the bug to appear in the first part. After launching the news of the return of Spider-Man, Summit Entertainment also announced another news. After negotiations, all MGM film distribution rights and copyrights obtained by Sony will be transferred to Summit Entertainment. As an independent economic entity, MGM's film copyright is its largest capital and cannot be easily sold. This so-called copyright is actually the distribution rights of the film and half of the ownership of the film series. For example, the copyright of the 007 series must be in the hands of MGM.?It is simply impossible to want the 007 series without acquiring MGM. MGM's equity is very complicated. Everyone knows that film rights are important and cannot be sold at will. Even if Carl Icahn now occupies the majority of MGM's shares, he cannot make any decision at will. The half of the copyright owned by Summit Entertainment is only for new movies. Based on the 007 series, new movies that are extended will be produced by Summit Entertainment and enjoy half of the copyright and income. However, MGM will retain the sole rights to the 007 series. They can re-shoot the 007 series, or transfer the copyright of a certain 007 film. However, MGM retained the 007 series, but the complete copyright of the Hobbit series was obtained by Summit Entertainment. This is the compensation that Summit Entertainment should receive, because the copyright of this series was developed by great director Peter Jackson and MGM. The transaction is MGM's outsourcing income and can naturally be traded at will. There are also some other movies that are either traded or share the copyright. Some old movies are shared directly with Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment can use these old movies at will. Except that they cannot be traded, they can be used under its own banner. MGM is in decline now, but back then it was a giant with countless film library resources, which expanded Summit Entertainment's film library dozens of times. Content has always been king in the film industry. Only with content can Summit Entertainment be considered a complete big company. Lionsgate's film library, Summit Entertainment's own film library, Dream Harvest's film library, and MGM's film library, Summit Entertainment's content now occupies no less than any major studio. After acquiring these copyrights, MGM has no interest in Summit Entertainment at all. After all, MGM's current debt has accumulated to 4 billion US dollars. The acquisition of MGM will definitely include these debts, which is not cost-effective at all. Therefore, in mid-June, as Sony withdrew from MGM, Summit Entertainment also reluctantly announced that it would withdraw from MGM and transfer all its shares to Carl Icahn. In the eyes of the outside world, Summit Entertainment was originally ambitious to restructure MGM, but was ultimately defeated by Carl Icahn. Of course, in the eyes of the media, Carl Icahn mainly defeated Sony, while Summit Entertainment cooperated in disguise and obtained a series of copyrights, which was enough to make up for the losses. "Sony retreated with a broken arm, Summit Entertainment calmly turned around, MGM sank into the valley, and corporate predator Carl Icahn became the new Lion King. A century-old brand may no longer exist." - "Wall Street Journal". "Wall Street's first victory in Hollywood, has capital begun to penetrate Hollywood? How will Sony face it?" - "The Yomiuri Shimbun". "Summit Entertainment's plan to revitalize MGM failed, and Icahn became the ultimate profiteer. MGM currently has only two paths, merger and reorganization or bankruptcy reorganization. Either way, Icahn will be able to make huge profits from it. The only loss is Sony. And the majority of investors!" - "The Sun". "Spider-Man has returned to Marvel, half of the rights to the new 007 sequel have been acquired, The Hobbit has also invested in Summit Entertainment, and even enjoyed the sharing of MGM's film library! Did Summit Entertainment really lose in the MGM reorganization case? I'm afraid Otherwise!" - "The Observer". "Where does MGM go after a hundred years?" - "Mirror". "Hollywood compromises in the face of capital!" - "Hollywood Entertainment Report". Since his hostile takeover of TWA, Carl Icahn has once again become the most bullish investor on Wall Street, and his reputation as a corporate predator has become even more prominent. Icahn is high-spirited, Sony is suffering, and Summit Entertainment is secretly laughing. This is the magic of capital. "We have reached an agreement with MGM. The latest sequel of the 007 series has been finalized. We plan to invest US$150 million and name it "007: Skyfall."" Mitchell Bruce was asked, MGM When asked whether Summit Entertainment had any losses in the restructuring case, they smiled and changed the subject. Vice president David Joe Cole added: "We have also discussed the issue of The Hobbit with director Peter Jackson. The Hobbit will be produced back to back in the form of a trilogy next year. , we believe that this will surpass the "Lord of the Rings" series. "The Hobbit is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings, and the copyright is in the hands of director Peter Jackson. The original "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was a collaboration with New Line Films. , after the merger of New Line and Warner Bros., Peter Jackson no longer cooperated with Warner Bros., but switched to MGM, which was acquired by Sony. I thought MGM would be revitalized, but who knew it was always cheating me, so The Hobbit was delayed again and again. Now that he is in the arms of Summit Entertainment, Jackson immediately approached Mitchell to discuss the filming of The Hobbit. Mitchell asked Shao Shuaijun, and Shao Shuaijun replied at the time: "Peter Jackson can film whatever he wants!" This was how "The Hobbit" was launched. ?In this way, June ended in such a hustle and bustle. Everything is settled. On July 1st, Summit Entertainment¡¯s final installment in the ¡°Twilight¡± series, ¡°The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2),¡± was released simultaneously worldwide. "Transformers 3", which was originally scheduled to be released this week, was released a week ahead of schedule due to the power of Twilight. Although the global box office of the Transformers series is better than that of the Twilight series, the Twilight series has always been known for its incredible opening performance, so it has to avoid the edge for a while. Movies adapted from best-selling novels such as Twilight and The Hungry have huge teenage fans who will choose to support the movie as soon as possible, so the opening results are quite impressive, both of which have exceeded 100 million. This time is no exception. At the end of the three-day weekend, the statistics show that "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)" topped the list in North America with US$141.07 million. Affected by Daybreak, the runner-up "Transformers 3" earned only US$32 million in its second week. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
