Perfect Life

"Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" is coming with a lot of momentum and momentum.

After "Titanic" in 1998 slammed into the door of countless markets around the world with great ferocity, "Jurassic Park" in 2002, with the realistic image of dinosaurs, once again directly rolled across the world.

The film was a staggering box office hit in more than 150 countries and territories around the world, and in the end, despite Titanic's $1.92 billion worldwide box office, it was still a big drop. , but the $1.23 billion box office is more than 200 million higher than the $1.02 billion global box office of "Star Wars: The New Order" released in 1999!

As a result, it was able to sit on the second place in the global movie box office chart!

Last year's "The Lord of the Rings: The Invincible" was once considered promising to surpass it, but in the end, even that film was extremely successful, reaping the box office crazily around the world, and even the Chinese film market contributed more than 270 million yuan at the box office, but in the end, it still only took in $1.12 billion at the global box office, failing to squeeze out "Jurassic Park".

To a certain extent, the current Hollywood industry has reached a consensus that one billion dollars at the global box office is close to the limit of a blockbuster movie - the overall size of the market determines this limit.

Of course, there will be very few movies that break this limit, and there are even unreasonable giants like "Titanic", which directly smashed the global box office to nearly 2 billion US dollars, but that kind of pioneer work and masterpiece The level of it is really a level that is not known in the world, not something you can do if you want to do it.

As a result, the other three movies currently on the global box office charts that exceed one billion dollars are recognized as phenomenal — Jurassic Park with 1.23 billion, The Lord of the Rings: The King of Invincible with 1.12 billion, and 1.02 billion for Star Wars: The New Order!

As long as they appear, it must be a miracle!

"The Lord of the Rings" is definitely over and there will be no sequels, but "Jurassic Park 2" and "Star Wars 5" are almost definitely coming!

So, as early as when "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" just came out with various news reports such as the project and the start of filming, almost all Hollywood film companies and distribution companies unanimously named the film as the : A+++ grade!

Meaning, definitely avoid it!

Although its second film has changed directors, and some people have raised some doubts about the film's extremely thin plot at the pre-release screening meeting, it is still recognized as a film that will be rejected by any film that encounters it. Squeeze that level - as long as the dinosaurs are scary enough, that's enough!

Before it was released, a number of professional box office evaluation agencies in North America had already given box office estimates of $350 million in North America and $850 million in the world.

In fact, as soon as it was released, this film did quickly set off a worldwide movie viewing boom - the North American market sold more than seven million US dollars in advance!

Two years after the first movie, movie audiences around the world are eager to see dinosaurs.

So, in the first week of its release, the film quickly began to explode the biggest box office bombing ability!

On Monday alone, it grossed an astounding $31.62 million in North America, including early-stage shows—note, it's Monday, and it's a weekday box office.

However, it is quite unexpected that "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", which has received more than 30 million US dollars at the box office in a single day on weekdays, is not as everyone guessed in the past few weeks. Become the monopoly and hegemonic level of the entire film market.

Because with the sudden popularity of "The Matrix" in two days last weekend, even if the movie faced the impact of a blockbuster like "Jurassic Park", even in order to meet the release of "Jurassic Park", many theaters The line had to temporarily cut the filming of "The Matrix" in favor of more canvases for "Jurassic Park", but on this Monday, "The Matrix" actually bucked the trend in its third week of release. Cut a single-day North American box office of up to 17.33 million US dollars!

Note that this is of course also a weekday box office!

And the subsequent development trend of the box office has also proved that although "Jurassic Park" is so powerful that almost no movie is willing to run into it, under its strong pressure, "The Matrix" even if it is scheduled to be hit by the film. It has been squeezed to a considerable extent, but it is still extremely tenacious and always rushing against the trend!

On Tuesday, "Jurassic Park 2" had a single-day box office of 25.48 million and "The Matrix" 16.51 million!

Wednesday, "Jurassic Park 2" 24.37 million, "The Matrix" 15.82 million!

Just three days is enough!

Film production companies and distribution companies may still feel dizzy, or they may not be able to help a certain director to go his own way and invest in a literary film that is likely to lose money, but the theater chain is 100% commercial retail establishment!

A good movie is the one that can make money!

Because of the release of "Jurassic Park 2", because of its highly anticipated expected box office, and its own status as a Big Mac, although the attendance rate of "The Matrix" was still quite high at the time, However, the major theaters still adjusted the film arrangement in a consistent manner, taking out a considerable number of films that originally belonged to "The Matrix" and gave them to "Jurassic Park 2" - as for other films that originally had limited attendance, The treatment that can be obtained at this time is not to mention.

However, "Jurassic Park 2" is indeed fierce enough, but it does not seem to be as fierce as expected - it was released in the first week, and it got as high as 3,756 opening scores in North America. In the first three days, It got as high as 43.5% of the platoons in the entire North American region!

In North America, where the cinema chain and the film commercial box office system are relatively complete, this has almost reached the highest level of film arrangement! No matter how high it is, it will violate many agreements in the industry.

Compared with "Jurassic Park 2", "The Matrix", which is also popular, only got 17% of the filming rate - no doubt, the reason why the North American theater chain and screening system are considered relatively perfect , it is precisely because here, even the most popular movies, it is impossible to get more than half of the filming rate, even if it is a literary movie with a general box office, they will have multiple professional art theaters to play.

In fact, it is a relatively rare situation that the two films have joined forces to get more than 60% of the total North American film sales and more than 80% of the box office in the first three days of this week!

And all theatrical operators can expect that by this weekend, the first weekend of "Jurassic Park 2", the box office of the movie will definitely usher in a wave of explosions.

But... what happened at that time, let's talk about it at that time!

And what everyone has to do now is to cut the film schedule for "Jurassic Park 2"!

There is no doubt that the attendance rate of "Jurassic Park 2" is good enough to make the theater chain feel elated, but at this time, the key is that there is another "The Matrix" there to compare!

Give you more than 43% of the film volume, your single-day box office has dropped to more than 22 million US dollars, and the film volume is only 17%, which is only a third of your slightly stronger "The Matrix", despite the single-day box office It is also falling, but until Wednesday, there are still close to 16 million!

This data is specific. According to the final statistics of major theater chains, when it comes to Wednesday, the average performance of tens of thousands of screenings in North America, the attendance rate of "Jurassic Park 2" is 27.4%. In Japanese terms, this attendance rate is already sky-high, but the attendance rate of "The Matrix" is as high as 52.9%!

How does this compare?

Cinema dealers are pure businessmen, and three days of observation is enough.

To put it bluntly, in fact, the next two days are superfluous in their opinion, all because the name of "Jurassic Park" is really too big, big enough to evoke the greed and greed of all the theater parties by the name. expect!

But now, on Wednesday, as soon as the statistics came out, the experienced theater chains in North America immediately made corresponding adjustments-no matter how good the "Jurassic Park" series is, it has come to this step, obviously It is impossible to continue to give face to things that will delay the theater chain's money!

So, when it comes to Thursday, many viewers who don't care about which movie to watch go into the movie theater, and they will find that it seems that when it came yesterday, the movie "The Matrix" was in the small movie theater in this community. Genius only has three or four film shows, but today there are six film shows in the whole day!

So, well, there are more shows to choose from. The audience who originally thought they could watch it or not watch it, but now they find that there is no problem with the time, and they will not delay their original other arrangements, so let’s watch one, after all, this movie The movie seems to have a very good reputation recently, and it seems to have won the box office championship for two weeks in a row, and some friends have enthusiastically recommended it. It is estimated that it should be pretty good!

So... if there are more shows, then of course more tickets will be sold!

On Thursday, the film schedule of "The Matrix" rose against the trend, taking a full 26% of the film schedule in North America, rebounding to a near-highest peak since its release!

In contrast, the schedule of "Jurassic Park 2" dropped to 36%!

Later, when the single-day box office of the day came out, the theater dealers laughed.

With the increase of the film schedule, the audience of a single show has a certain diversion, so that the attendance rate of "The Matrix" is not as strong as the previous three days, but it still maintains a high level of 37%! The reduction in the schedule has boosted the attendance rate of "Jurassic Park 2", so that the attendance rate of the film has suddenly increased to the level of the day it was just released on Monday - 33%!

Therefore, on Thursday, "Jurassic Park 2" reported a revenue of $22.92 million, a steady decline compared to yesterday's box office, and "The Matrix" suddenly saw a small wave of growth with the increase in the number of films. Daily received $16.82 million!

Excluding the factors of other movies, and only counting the operating income of the theater chains in North America brought by these two blockbusters, Thursday compared to Wednesday, it was only less than a million dollars!

Except for Universal Films, the publisher of Jurassic Park 2, it's pretty much everyone's delight!

Of course, even in terms of Universal Movies, in fact, after the end of the day's screening, it is possible to announce that "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" has exceeded 100 million at the North American box office!

Therefore, although some theaters made a wave of fine-tuning of the film arrangement after Friday, they basically maintained this film arrangement ratio, and everyone came to the weekend together.

And because of the advent of "Jurassic Park 2", this week, even if the film market is developed and perfected to the extent of the North American market, there are only a few low-cost literary films and independent films on a very small scale. In the release, except for "Jurassic Park 2", there is not even a decent commercial blockbuster.

It's just that it was originally expected that "Jurassic Park 2" should dominate the market, but now, it has encountered a diverter who is so tough!

With the end of the working day, on Friday afternoons and evenings, the cinema suddenly became lively - the reason why the summer season has become a major box office for a year~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The student party is of course the credit. Wei, but it is undeniable that even in the summer season, the box office of the three-day weekend will still account for more than 50% of the box office of the whole week!

Because the economic strength of the white-collar workers is there, the box office they can contribute will always exceed the student party!

On Friday, "Jurassic Park 2" reported a single-day box office receipt of $32.46 million, and "The Matrix" reported a single-day box office receipt of $23.2 million!

On Saturday, "Jurassic Park 2" made $41.35 million in a single day, "The Matrix" $29.58 million!

On Sunday, "Jurassic Park 2" $32.83 million, "The Matrix" $28.81 million!

"Jurassic Park: The Lost World" in its first week of release, the North American box office topped 200 million US dollars, reaching 211.03 million US dollars, and the global box office was as high as 450 million US dollars!

This statistic is astonishing!

This data is far more than the first part of its predecessor "Jurassic Park", and it also beats "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Invincible" by a large margin, only slightly weaker than the epoch-making masterpiece "Titanic" - if Just looking at this first week's data, to speculate its final box office according to the law, it is even enough to draw the surprising conclusion that the final global box office of this movie will exceed 1.5 billion, or even 1.8 billion!

However, under such first-week box office data, many box office forecasting agencies in North America have given bad box office predictions-everyone has predicted that the North American box office of this film may exceed 400 million. US dollars, but it will never exceed 450 million. As for the global box office, several major forecasting agencies believe that it can be moderately adjusted from the original forecast of 850 million US dollars to 900 million US dollars.

Because the word-of-mouth evaluation of this movie on the Internet is really bad!
