Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 769 - 556 Total Box Office Ranking_3
From this perspective, the Big Six Studios still display arrogance towards Lionsgate Films, not treating it as a major film company.
Lionsgate Films' box office rankings in the top three for two consecutive years can also be viewed as a form of revenge.
If the Big Six Studios want to coexist peacefully with Lionsgate, acknowledging Lionsgate Films' status and influence in Hollywood becomes particularly crucial.
In addition to the three media mentioned above, other media such as the New York Post and The Washington Post also reported on Lionsgate Films' 2013 box office achievements, praising Lionsgate Films for its rapid development, strong earning capacity, and the couple Link and Ivanka's excellent management skills.
Influenced by these figures and recent impressive developments at Netflix, with its stock soaring and market value reaching 25.6 billion US Dollars,
Lionsgate Films' market value is estimated by Wall Street investment firms to be between 7 and 7.5 billion.
Benjamin Graham, a prominent Hollywood investment guru, stated that given the current revenue situation of Lionsgate Films, a market value of under 10 billion US Dollars is worth investing in.
Although this figure has a significant bubble, it also shows Wall Street capitals' optimism about the development of Lionsgate Films.
However, after reviewing these news reports and data, Link did not appear overly excited or proud.
She also saw deficiencies in Lionsgate Films from these figures.
Firstly, in movie production, Disney owns the largest animation film production company, the most animated adaptation IP, acquiring Marvel Entertainment in '09, and obtaining all Marvel characters in '11, has inexhaustible subjects in superhero movies.
Because of this, Disney Pictures' future films almost dominate Hollywood, with eight of the top ten global box office rankings belonging to Disney.
There are also Warner Bros. Pictures and Fox, Universal, and Sony, all owning numerous popular IPs that guarantee blockbuster movies every year, such as Sony's Spider-Man, Warner's Batman, Fox's X-Men series, Paramount's Mission: Impossible, etc.
This is the heritage of the Big Six Studios.
In this regard, Lionsgate Films still cannot compare.
Lionsgate Films still relies on hit series movies to secure box office results; if the series end, Lionsgate's ranking in the 'new big seven' will be severely affected.
Furthermore, Disney also owns the most theme parks worldwide, as well as hotels, toys, books, video games, and media networks, etc., with a market value of over 130 billion US Dollars.
Every hit Disney movie generates a significant amount of peripheral income, often exceeding the box office.
Apart from Disney, Universal Group, Warner Bros, and Sony also possess robust peripheral development capabilities, which can offer substantial financial support for movie production.
In this aspect, Lionsgate Films also falls short.
Therefore, Link is not complacent about Lionsgate Films' temporary lead in total box office over other companies.
To this end, he not only reads bestselling books and actively explores popular movie IPs but also prepares to arrange his company's staff to negotiate with Warner and Disney, looking for a way to obtain adaptation rights for super hero characters like Wonder Woman, Joker, Black Panther, and Deadpool.
With these characters, the future development of Lionsgate Films will have more security.
Link knows it's difficult to obtain these characters, but Lionsgate also has properties that Disney and Warner covet, such as series like The Hunger Games, Twilight, and The Expendables.
These properties have more value than several characters.
Alternatively, Lionsgate could also agree to co-produce movies with Disney and Warner Bros Pictures, jointly developing movie peripherals.
With Lionsgate Films' movie production capabilities, such cooperation is definitely a win-win choice.freёweɓnovel.com
