Disney acquired Marvel Comics in 2009 and has always wanted to acquire Fox. However, Sony and Disney are both leaders in the American film industry. Sony owns the copyrights of some characters in Marvel comics, and Fox owns the copyrights of Marvel comics "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four". Fox was recently acquired by Disney at a high price.
Although Marvel Comics is a Disney company, the film and television works of Marvel Comics are all produced by Marvel Comics' own studio. Marvel Comics was once one of the three major comic companies in the United States, but in 2009, Marvel Comics was acquired by Disney Company at a high price of 4 billion, including the copyrights of more than 5,000 comic characters. 2065438+June 2008, foreign media reported that Fox was acquired by Disney at a high price of 71300 million dollars. This acquisition is Disney's largest acquisition, involving huge amounts of money. By joining the film subsidiaries of these industry giants, we can see the strength and scale of Disney, and the acquisition of these companies has also made Disney even more powerful.
We will all marvel at Disney's achievements now, and we can acquire other excellent film companies under our banner. We have to admit that this is one of the best film industries in the world. It is said that the annual income of this industry is10 billion, and this industry has a very legendary story all the way. Its founder is Walter, a veteran who loves painting. At that time, the young man was just an ordinary employee of an advertising company (it was said that he was admitted through contacts), and later he was fired because his painting ability could not meet the requirements of the company. In this way, Walter began his legendary road. He devoted himself to studying comics all the way and experienced countless ups and downs. Finally, he created many classic animated characters, made the first sound film, became famous at one fell swoop, and made American animation and animation.
Sony bought the copyright of the Marvel comic book Spider-Man many years ago. In fact, before it was acquired by Disney, the economic operation of Marvel Comics was quite difficult. It can only make profits by selling its own cartoon characters to maintain the company's operation. After Sony acquired and filmed Spider-Man, the box office of this film exceeded 800 million dollars, which brought huge profits to Sony and directly established Sony's stable position in Hollywood. Spider-Man is regarded by many people as the pioneering work of superhero movies.
In fact, Sony has the opportunity to acquire other characters of Marvel Comics, such as Iron Man and Raytheon. But Sony insisted that no other role would be popular except Spider-Man, so it was a pity that it only bought the role of Spider-Man. After 20 12, Sony also produced "Magic Spider-Man", but after the release of this series of films, the response was flat, which made the audience doubt the saturation of the role of Spider-Man in the market.
Generally speaking, these four companies are all American companies and have made many contributions to the film industry. It is because of their appearance that the American film industry has developed so well.
