As Richard · Lovett expected, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's stock price fell by 6.8% throughout the day on Tuesday due to the news of the replacement of Brosnan. Since Metro Goldwyn Mayer has not taken any remedial measures, the market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer has dropped from the peak of 12.3 billion USD to 11.5 billion USD at the close of the day.
While early in the morning on Wednesday, when North America ’s major newspapers discussed whether Metro Goldwyn Mayer ’s share price would plunge again today, reporters who had been guarding Century City Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters suddenly heard heavy news, around 9:20 AM Western Time , James · Bond player Pierce Brosnan suddenly appeared, and hurriedly entered the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters building under the guard of assistants and bodyguards. Related photos appeared on the Yahoo portal homepage almost simultaneously.
In this case, even a fool can guess that there has been a major turnaround in the event that Brosnan was replaced.
Although Metro Goldwyn Mayer still did not announce any news, the stock price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which fell again from the opening of the day on the East Coast New York stock exchange, suddenly rose sharply. In just half an hour, the market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer returned to 12billion USD high.
Then, at ten o'clock, Metro Goldwyn Mayer finally released another announcement through the Yahoo portal, but the content was not related to the special agent movie universe closely watched by the media and fans.
The announcement stated that in order to alleviate the tightness of cash flow and avoid investment risks to the greatest extent, Metro Goldwyn Mayer decided to transfer the production rights of the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy to Firefly Pictures, and the company only reserves the right to issue the global theater of the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
As soon as the news came out, the stock price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer rose rapidly, and the stock price suddenly stagnate, and even appeared a short-term falling arc.
The rumors that Metro Goldwyn Mayer is about to produce the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy at one time have not been broken in the past two years. In the recent period, the industry has frequently reported that this project has entered a substantial preliminary stage.
Rookie Director, 300 million budget, unnamed card division, and huge risks are all very unfavorable terms for the entire project. They often appear in the analysis articles of major media. Many media also speculate that if the Eric Williams that controls the Metro Goldwyn Mayer behind the scenes is really optimistic about this project, it will definitely let Firefly Pictures participate in the investment. But if Firefly does not participate at all, then this project is likely to be a big bet that even Eric dare not be sure of.
Therefore, the sudden announcement made everyone caught off guard.
Firefly did not choose to participate in the production of the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but almost took the entire project. The so-called global theater distribution rights reserved by Metro Goldwyn Mayer can only be divided into global Box Office in the future about 15% to 20% of the "The Lord of the Rings" series. The profitable video tape / DVD distribution, TV broadcasting rights revenue and peripheral product revenue in the later period obviously have nothing to do with Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
Until the final dust is settled, even a well-informed media cannot straighten out the various power games that have occurred in and out of Metro Goldwyn Mayer in recent days. But this does not prevent them from speculating on the meaning of this announcement.
Soon, the boldest and most serious guesses came out, and quickly landed on the Yahoo hot topic list: Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Williams parted ways!
After Metro Goldwyn Mayer released the announcement of the replacement of Brosnan yesterday, the relevant insider was quickly revealed. It was Eric Williams who made this decision. Subsequently, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's stock price fell 6.8% throughout the day, and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Europe shareholder spokesperson Pierre · Truck came from New York to rush to Los Angeles to contact Metro Goldwyn Mayer executives.
So, following this line of thinking, the Europe shareholders of Metro Goldwyn Mayer certainly cannot tolerate the impact of the replacement of Brosnan on the stock price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Although the outside world speculates that Drew · Barrymore, which holds the largest proportion of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, is a puppet of Eric Williams, there is no Signs indicate these. Eric Williams and Metro Goldwyn Mayer's shareholdings are only indirectly through the 8.4% shares of Metro Goldwyn Mayer controlled by the LTD group. If Drew · Barrymore and Metro Goldwyn Mayer executives are dissatisfied with the decision of Eric Williams, plus the support of Europe shareholders represented by Pierre · Truck. It is not impossible for several major shareholders to unite with Williams and completely shake off each other's control.
Next, this morning Brosnan re-entered Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters, Metro Goldwyn Mayer gave up the risky "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, all these signs are contrary to the will of Eric Williams.
After guessing this way, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Eric Williams completely broke away, and the two sides parted ways, so it seems completely reasonable.
Due to various speculations brought about by Metro Goldwyn Mayer ’s transfer of the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the stock price remained in a very volatile state for the next hour.
As the core of the secret film universe, Pierce Brosnan is certainly important. This can be seen from the sharp drop in the stock price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer yesterday.
However, if investors in this company are to choose between Eric Williams and Pierce Brosnan, most people will not have much hesitation.
Anyone knows that the recovery of Metro Goldwyn Mayer in recent years is entirely due to Eric Williams alone. The projects that have brought huge profits to Metro Goldwyn Mayer in recent years, including the secret film universe series, "Night at the Museum" series, "Resident Evil" series, etc., are all led by Eric.
Perhaps these projects have entered a stable profit period, but a little sensible investors will not feel that Eric Williams is irrelevant. After all, although the recovery has begun, Metro Goldwyn Mayer is still the weakest of the seven Film Studios, and the company ’s development is still limited to the traditional Film Industry business, which is far less rooted than the other big ones that have been integrated into large media groups. deep. If the support of Firefly Group is completely lost, and even after the two sides tear their faces, they will be suppressed by Firefly Group. The impact of Metro Goldwyn Mayer will definitely be countless times more severe than the loss of Pierce Brosnan.
So, when the news that Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Eric completely broke apart gradually spread and was accepted by more and more people, the situation changed suddenly.
At about 11 am Western time, the New York stock exchange on the east coast is only one and a half hours before the close of the day.
But in just one and a half hours, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price curve is like a gravitational shot. Under the spin, when the closing time comes, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer stock price finally stops at 22.82USD, which not only completely offsets Pierce Bruce South re-entered the boosting effect brought by Metro Goldwyn Mayer Headquarters, and compared with 26.45USD at the opening, the drop throughout the day reached a shocking 13.7%, and the overall market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer fell back to the 10 billion USD range, leaving only 99. 200 million USD.
Turning around all night, although occasionally thinking about it, it ’s a big deal with Metro Goldwyn Mayer. But the day lighted up, from the Beverly mid-mountain mansion that had just started overlooking the early morning Los Angeles, Pierce Brosnan finally decided to accept the remuneration conditions offered by Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Richard Lovett is actually right. He lost 007. He struggled for more than ten years. All he got in Hollywood, fame, glory, money ... all will disappear, even, because the face is completely torn, it may be possible Under the joint suppression of Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer and even Fox, he basically can no longer continue to stand on Hollywood.
However, although it was decided to compromise on film remuneration, detailed terms such as personal treatment on the set, whether to cooperate with Metro Goldwyn Mayer for advertising placement, dangerous action scales during shoots, etc., regardless of whether Mr. Brosnan himself came to negotiate Richard · Lovett, all show a must-have attitude, Metro Goldwyn Mayer here is not entangled in details such as studio treatment, but there is no concession in terms that may affect the quality of the film, the two sides are in Metro Goldwyn Mayer You came and went in the conference room for a whole day, and it wasn't until night that the contract was finally finalized.
During this period, the news of Metro Goldwyn Mayer ’s stock price plunging again naturally cannot conceal anyone present, and the company is inevitably stirred.
Understanding the detailed causes and consequences of the matter, Drew, who was sitting next to meeting table and personally participated in the negotiations, was a gesture of letting the stock price fall, and even prevented Amy from issuing some clarification proposals. This is not just because she knows better than anyone that the external rumors are completely false. As long as it is properly clarified, the share price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer will definitely rise again.
Moreover, the girl is even happy with this situation.
It is just a rumor that Eric may break with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which can cause the stock price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer to drop sharply. This can also allow many people with dissent to thoroughly see the influence and importance of Eric on Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Last night, she decided to let go of her belly, and the girl decided to let her hands and feet help Eric to hold Metro Goldwyn Mayer in her palm, but she did not intend to give the impression that Eric's influence on Metro Goldwyn Mayer would be reduced as a result.
However, the girl also knows that it is enough to let the Metro Goldwyn Mayer share price roll up and down like a rollercoaster for a whole day, so that some people are fully stimulated. That night, Metro Goldwyn Mayer began to take action to restore the decline of the stock price.
After officially signing the contract with Brosnan, Metro Goldwyn Mayer announced the news on the Yahoo portal that night.
The four films are about to pack 60 million USD. When the news came out, they were shocked again. This is obviously not possible because the average pay per 15 million USD is too high, but too low.
For most of the Hollywood Star, the average pay for each 15 million USD may be unexpected. However, relative to the expected Box Office of "Casino Royale" and the huge benefits brought to Metro Goldwyn Mayer by the entire agent movie universe, as the core star, Brosnan's four 60 million USD packaging contract is simply the complete cabbage price. Prior to this, many media speculated that Pierce Brosnan and Metro Goldwyn Mayer's next film appointment, the single film will not be lower than 60 million USD.
After the shock, some people began to realize that if the contract was true, Metro Goldwyn Mayer was clearly the winner in this film dispute with Pierce Brosnan, and it was a heartbreaking victory.
So, since this is the case, will Eric Williams, which dominates the suppression of Bruce South's pay even at the expense of the other party, really break up with Metro Goldwyn Mayer as most media speculate? After all, without the strong adherence of Eric Williams, Metro Goldwyn Mayer wants to sign a four-part contract with Brosnan, not to mention 60 million USD, even 100 million 60 million USD, not necessarily able to win.
Moreover, this victory has brought a very positive impact on the overall advancement of the next stage of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent film universe. Whether it is the 《Charlie's Angels》 trio or Kevin · Costner of "Mission: Impossible", they are paying with Metro Goldwyn Mayer When negotiating, it is impossible to be confident.
In the chaotic comments and speculations, the next day, Metro Goldwyn Mayer gave the media and the public an answer in disguise in another way.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer is about to launch the cast of a brand new racing movie series "The Fast and the Furious". Eric will personally act as screenwriter and be named Producer. At the same time, if the movie gets a good market response, Metro Goldwyn Mayer will incorporate this series into the agent movie universe in the future.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer released this news through the Yahoo portal at 9:00 AM United States Eastern Time, but the market is still brewing the amount of information contained in this news, at 9:00 EST 30, the moment before the opening of the New York stock exchange , CEO Pierre · Truck of the United States branch of Vivendi's Havas Group announced that due to work reasons, he will resign from the position of Board of Directors director of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Group. The successor will be nominated by Metro Goldwyn Mayer management and major shareholders.
At this time, even people who are slow to respond, realize that Eric has not lost control of Metro Goldwyn Mayer from beginning to end. Not only did he strongly dominate the Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Brosnan's compensation negotiations, but he also mercilessly expelled Europe shareholder spokesperson Pierre · Truck, who tried to intervene in Metro Goldwyn Mayer management, from Metro Goldwyn Mayer Board of Directors.
Although it is still not clear why Eric transferred the risky "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy to Firefly Pictures, this does not prevent the capital market from reigniting confidence in Metro Goldwyn Mayer. After all, investors always value profits. Eric's recent strong moves have caused turbulence in Metro Goldwyn Mayer, but there is no doubt that these measures are undoubtedly very beneficial to the development of Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
So, on Thursday, the stock price of Metro Goldwyn Mayer rebounded strongly to the high of 27USD, and the market value reached 117.400 million USD.
Following this, entering Friday, due to a week of continuous news about the possible replacement of Pierce Brosnan, the popularity of "Casino Royale" has risen again, and a large number of fans have come to remember Pierce Brosnan, who is about to leave. Enter the cinema.
Finally, in the third week of release, the Box Office drop of "Casino Royale" narrowed again, only 32%, and then closed at 52 730,000 USD. In three weeks, the cumulative Box Office has reached 2.4 700 million USD, although it has not exceeded the fifth week of "Finding Nemo". 2.6 300 million USD. However, compared with the same period of "Finding Nemo", Box Office in the third week of "Casino Royale" was significantly higher than 8 million USD. In this way, "Casino Royale" North America Box Office will definitely exceed "Finding Nemo", some analysts even raised the North America Box Office of "Casino Royale" to 370 million, and the industry's North America Box Office for "Finding Nemo" is generally expected to be within 330 million USD.
After the release of the Box Office data, further good news and yesterday ’s various positive outcomes made Metro Goldwyn Mayer ’s share price break through the 30USD mark on Friday and eventually stay at the high of 30.37USD, according to Metro Goldwyn Mayer total 4.3.5 billion total equity It is calculated that the market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer has reached 13210 million USD at the close of the week.
