The premiere of "Inception" is far less attention than "The Dark Knight", which is normal, because "The Dark Knight" is a comic hero movie first, and a sequel second. People's habitual thinking is very natural. the result of.レm♠思♥Road♣客レ
The limitations of 3,800 theater screenings, the esoteric level of high-IQ movies, the lack of publicity in the early stage, and the original movies that are not comics, non-fiction, and non-sequels... These are all the successes of the "Inception" premiere at the box office. Obstacles, but even so, "Inception" still under many unfavorable conditions, with the box office trajectory of Friday equal to Saturday approximately equal to week rì, created a brand new history.
"Inception" finally broke the single-house record for works released in more than 3,000 theaters with a single-house box office score of 47,000 US dollars. Previously, this figure was maintained by "The Dark Knight" with 44,000 US dollars. Relying on such a strong single-house performance, the box office data of the opening weekend soared to the position of 179 million US dollars.
With its $179 million premiere, "Inception" easily surpassed "The Dark Knight"'s $176 million premiere record in 2008, becoming the premiere in film history. The new champion of the weekend box office! ..
At the same time, "Inception" also naturally refreshed a series of records, including the premiere box office records of two genres of hard science fiction and epic crime. You know, these two genres are not so good at the box office. The pulling force, the hard science fiction's previous box-office record was held by Evan Bell's "Enemy Robot" at $76 million; the epic crime land was even lower. At present, the highest North American box office record is only 130 million of "Infernal Affairs". And now, "Inception" sturdily broke the shackles of genre films, greatly improving this historical record with incredible data. And it's a record that is likely to be unsurpassed.
Obviously, everyone underestimated the $160 million sci-fi epic co-created by Christopher Nolan and Evan Bell. Professionals predicted that the $45 million opening box office would be a no-brainer for "Pirates of Dreams." Space" is an insult, even the premiere prediction of "Entertainment Weekly", which is the most confident in this film, is only 75 million, which is the same level as "Mechanical Enemy", but the film is released Afterwards, he dedicated a feast of sight, hearing and thought with the performance of blinding everyone's eyes.
The biggest opening weekend in film history of $179 million. It left the entire North American market stunned and speechless. Not to mention the three consecutive extremely close box office numbers on Friday, Saturday and week, which is a new phenomenon unprecedented in film history. This reminds people of the "Avatar" that made its grand debut at the end of last year.
At that time, before the release of "Avatar", the media was also mourning, lamenting that James Cameron's work of sharpening his sword in ten years was ruined, thinking that this film is likely to become a major failure in film history. Going down on history in such a humiliating way. And "Avatar" after the premiere. As expected by experts, the $77 million opening box office is really not good, especially "Avatar" also set a record investment of $500 million, which made the entire North America a condemnation.
However, everyone knows the story behind, "Avatar" handed over a 2% drop in the next week, and dominated the North American box office chart for seven consecutive weeks, and finally the North American box office reached 760 million US dollars. The global box office is a terrible figure of 2.78 billion US dollars, which makes North American film critics collectively slap themselves in the face. Changed the previous accusation, and personally sent "Avatar" to the throne of the best in history.
And now, "Inception" has such signs again. In the face of the professional box office prediction of 45 million US dollars, this film actually handed over 179 million of the history of the premiere. Good results, it is really speechless, should "Pirates of Dreams" also follow the pace of "Avatar" to create history?
This is not impossible, but a great possibility, because please don't forget that this movie is marked with the label of Evan Bell, and he can be seen in many positions such as the actor, screenwriter, director, soundtrack, etc. . What does "Evan Bell" mean in North America? Miracle! myth!
No one can underestimate the ability of Evan Bell, not even the uncrowned king. What's more, the quality of "Inception" has been recognized by the entire market, and the tsunami-like praise is the best proof, and this is also the best magic weapon for the movie to create a good box office.
In the face of the almost terrifying dominance of "Inception", there is no suspense in the North American box office rankings in the second week of July. "Inception" leads the pack, and this week, whether it is a new release or a previous release, None of them were able to put forward an effective resistance, and there was a sound of mourning.
There is another work that will be released on a large scale this week, produced by 20th Century Fox and starring Adrien Brody, the youngest actor in film history. Theatrical release, it seems that 20th Century Fox has some plans to break the jar, and the result is the same. This work was crushed by "Inception" in all directions, and the box office performance of only 20 million US dollars is indeed not good, ranking third on the list, but considering its investment cost, this result is also a good performance. .
The work that is really squeezed in the second week of July should be the fan movie "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse", which set a series of new records last week. This work was released last Wednesday and won 100 million in the first five days. The box office of $60 million, and the cumulative box office of three days over the weekend is 65 million, which also proves that with the die-hard support of fans, the series can still deliver a transcript that everyone envies.
It's a pity that "Lunar Eclipse" also continued the route of the two previous works in the series with bad reputation. The huge drop in the box office in the next week has also become a symbol of fan movies. This week, under the squeeze of "Inception" , "Lunar Eclipse" exploded with a 60% cliff-dive drop, and only received $26 million at the box office in three days over the weekend. Although the cumulative box office still passed the 200 million mark, the threshold of 300 million Immediately became out of reach.
In this way, the top three North American box office charts in the second week of July have formed the pattern of "Inception", "Eclipse" and "Predator".
The debut of "Pirates of Dreams" has created countless new historical records, and has become the most favorable contender for this year's year-end box office rankings with a gesture of dominating the world. But what kind of box office results "Inception" can finally win, the drop in the box office next week determines everything. After all, word of mouth does not mean that the audience will buy it, especially this kind of high IQ movie is likely to cause a situation of high and few, even if the first This week has already achieved such outstanding box office results. Last year, "The Dark Knight" managed to control the box office drop very sharply in the next week. If "Inception" can also control the drop below 40% this year, then the North American box office of 400 million or even 500 million is still very good. possible.
But "Pirates of the Dream" has faced the most serious challenge in setting a record. "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is on the rise in the third week of July. This work full of countless topics will also determine the box office performance of "Pirates of the Dream" in the following week. .
As early as a few months ago, everyone was looking forward to the strong collision between "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and the confrontation between the two will become the final box office trend this summer. It's a matter of who is the year-end box office champion.
This duel, which can be called a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, has attracted undifferentiated attention and support from more than 60 countries and regions around the world. On July 14th, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" held simultaneous premieres in fifty-four countries and regions around the world. Such a grand and grand premiere far surpassed the premiere of "Pirates of the Dream" released a week ago. The scale, just a premiere ceremony is full of gunpowder.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is released by Disney, and the premiere is naturally Disneyland in Los Angeles. This is also the first choice for the premiere of the series. A group of creators attended the premiere ceremony in Los Angeles.
At the premiere ceremony, the showdown between "Inception" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" undoubtedly became the focus of attention. Compared with Eleven Studios, Disney's self-image maintenance is obviously more thorough. They The requirements for actors are very strict~www.mtlnovel.com~ I don't want any negative news. There were many such controversial scenes when I cooperated with Evan Bell, so this time obviously Disney is fully prepared. .
Jerry Bruckheimer and Penelope Cruz, who were the first to debut, were all skilled tai chi pushers, and there were no loopholes. So did the new director Rob Marshall, who did not give reporters more opportunities. When he came on stage, everyone turned their guns on him, hoping that this rookie actor who used to work **** Broadway would have enough courage to face the challenge head-on, but Penn Lecce still disappointed the reporters.
So, when Jacob Tebow appeared, the reporters were all boiling, and this was their last hope. If Jacob Tebow made an official answer, then today's premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is completely OK Bored to describe it.
Jacob Tibo has received unprecedented attention, such attention that he could not win even in a period of melancholy mood, which made him involuntarily indulge in it, immersed in the heat brought by the spotlight focus, this heat It made his skin slightly hot, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in the steam of the sauna. In a trance, he seemed to be lost in the continuous flash of light: this feeling is really beautiful.
