王健林不差钱：万达下个收购目标是好莱坞巨头，预算无上限 - 王健林,万达,好莱坞 - IT资讯
大连万达集团董事长王健林周二接受路透社采访时称，该集团预计今年将收购美国的两家非制片类电影公司，两笔交易价值都将在10亿美元以上，从而进一步扩大万达电影王国的版图。
在完成这两起收购之后，万达的下一个目标将是好莱坞“六大”电影公司之一。王健林表示：“我的目标是收购好莱坞的公司，并将他们的技术和能力引入中国。”
今年1月，万达斥资35亿美元收购了美国传奇影业公司的控股权，从而成为首个拥有好莱坞大型电影公司的中国企业。该集团的目标到2020年将其文化产业的营收提高两倍，至1500亿元。
路透社上月报道称，万达正在与维亚康姆集团（Viacom）谈判，计划收购后者持有的派拉蒙影业公司股份。派拉蒙是好莱坞“六大”电影公司之一，另外五家是二十世纪福克斯、华纳兄弟、迪士尼、环球影业和哥伦比亚电影公司。
王健林表示：“我们感兴趣的不只是派拉蒙，如果‘六大’当中的任何一家愿意出售，我们都有兴趣。”
他表示，在完成对欧洲最大连锁影院Odeon & UCI和美国第四大院线Carmike Cinemas的收购后，万达集团将控制全球电影票房的15%，并可能比原计划的2020年更早达到控制全球20%电影票房的目标。
王健林表示，他主要对收购美国和欧洲的娱乐和体育公司感兴趣，“只要目标公司适合我们的胃口，那么在预算方面没有上限。”
