Hollywood What If Chapter 315

  December was the st month of the year... Many people already khat. This month was merry because you know, Christmas. A month would be happy because, you know, New Year's... Ahem.

  While many families were preparing for Christmas, Grey Pictures had a Christmas party to celebrate their success this year. They had a party on December 21, and a lot of workers attehe party, because the pany spent a lot of money on this party... Too bad, because Kazir was never a fan of party drugs. The party was too formal.

  Some of the crew members used drugs, and Kazir couldn't stop people from doing what they wanted. As long as he didn't see them doing it, he never reprimahem.

  Of course, he didn't tolerate that kind of behavior in his crew either.

  Grey Pictures released three films this year, but their revenues exceeded 1 billion. The pany was an A-list produ studio at that point.

  The Revenant was nominated for many awards at the Golden Globes. The movie was released on October 31, 2002. Currently, the film has grossed more than 169.57 million after 52 days at the North Ameri box offibsp;

  Also, the iional box office for The Revenant roximately 173.52 million. The total worldwide gross was 343.09 million.

  Iional distribution was much faster now because of teological advances. Back then, produ studios had to move tons of film reels and distribute them across the try.

  Then, when the local run was over, the Big Six (the six studios that distribute movies iionally) would pick up all the film reels ahem to other tries. Sometimes they have to make thousands of copies and send more iionally.

  However, the iion of memory cards/SD cards and DVD discs ged the way studios distributed their movies. Film reels were thid heavy, but memory cards and DVD discs were small, thinner and lighter. This made distribution much easier and the uch lower.

  Ohe I became the norm, distributing movies worldwide would be a click away. But that was aory.

  So far, there was a rumor that 20th tury Fox inteo release X-Men 2 in 25 tries on the same day. This would ge the game even more. Releasing movies worldwide on the same day would no longer be a dream.

  The seovie released by Grey Pictures was Mr. And Mrs. Smith. It premiered on August 7, 2002.

  The movie pleted its worldwide release after five months. Mr. And Mrs. Smith grossed 487.28 million. Too bad, because the movie didn't cross the 500 million mark before it ut down by theaters. But holy, that amount was already amazing.

  Just like Mr. And Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Supremacy fis worldwide run and the movie grossed 710.68 million. An amazing performahe performance was affected positively because of the death of its creator, Robert Ludlum.

  Sequels to a successful movie usually do better at the box office because there was already a fan base for the movie.

  In the case of The Bourne Supremacy, the series art of the tial ematiiverse and the whole franchise was very hot at the moment.

  This had a positive effe the performance of The Bourne Supremacy. Some fans were even hoping that John Wick or Bryan Mills would face off in the film. That would be exg to watbsp;

  The Revenant has now grossed over 343.09 million!

  Mr. And Mrs. Smith fis run with 487.28 million at the worldwide box office!

  The Bourne Supremacy has also grossed 710.68 million worldwide!

  Together, the three movies grossed a whopping 1.54 billion. A huge amount of money...

  Unfortunately, Grey Pictures only got about 40% of that amount. While ema Alliand 20th tury Fox got 60% of that amount.

  If the calcution is correct, Grey Pictures could possibly get 616.40 million. Still a lot of money.

  Unfortunately, the IRS would definitely want at least 30% of that 616 million, because the IRS is a daylight robber, I mean, a daylight blessing.

  Furthermore, if you subtract Grey Pictures' iment ihree movies, the pany's profit would probably be around 250 million at best.

  So far, 20th tury Fox has only paid for Mr. And Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Supremabsp;

  Even though 20th tury Fox was only the distributor of their movies, it was obvious that 20th tury Fox made money as well. Their pure profit just from distributing three movies robably around 100 million.

  20th tury Fox wao show that they would be a great partner frey Pictures because they were quick to pay the money.

  Grey Pictures had a lot of mo the time. One of the reasons why the Christmas party was a bit extravagant.

  Another reason why Grey Pictures made the party high css was because CAA used their e to invite some Academy members. After all, the Academy still hasn't annouhe list of nominees for the 75th Academy Awards. Grey Pictures had to work hard to make sure their film would be nominated.

  Kazir and Angelina greeted the old men of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sces. The Academy Awards was founded in 1929 and has gathered 10 thousand members after 8 decades of tinuation.

  Many of the members were old people, over 60 years old. Another fact was that many of them were Jewish. Millions of Jewish people immigrated to the Uates when World War II happened, and some of them lived in Los Angeles, more precisely in Hollywood. These Jewish people slowly created their brand in Hollywood and reached a dominant position.

  Since Kazir was also Jewish, CAA devised a pn to ehat he would be nominated for an Academy Award by mingling with the old members. All Kazir had to do was show that he roud to be Jewish.

  CAA was founded by a Jewish man, so after so many years in the business, he had a lot of ties to Jewish members of the Academy.

  This may sound offensive, but Kazir was simply taking advantage of his race. He knew what he was doing and was not ashamed of it. Humans are selfish creatures.

  Kazir had never been close to his Jewish side, but tonight he roud to be one. He had to be. Otherwise he wouldn't win the Best Director Award.
