Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 61: Tsk amazing!

This is a commercial movie, a pure special effect blockbuster commercial movie. The reputation of film critics can be ignored. Of course, major box office forecasting agencies will not consider these, but audience ratings and word of mouth are decisive for subsequent box office development. Influential!

In fact, since the film was first released, the Internet has been full of various complaints about it - such as "scaring for the sake of being scary, but it is not scary at all", such as "the plot is so thin that there is almost no Any story", comments such as "The Continuation of the Dog's Tail" are all over the screen!

Under such circumstances, in such a mature North American market, those box office evaluation agencies have to evaluate the box office trend of thousands of films every year, and after evaluating the trend of the box office for more than ten years or even decades, it is unusual for them to change the trend of the box office. Sensitive!

In this regard, Universal Films and the film's directors are dismissive of this assessment. No matter what they think, at least in the face of the media, they still agree that the ultimate goal of the film is to reach and exceed the No. 1 global box office. A 1.23 billion!

Saliva is flying!

All kinds of mouth battles, you come and I go!

But even so, "The Matrix", which actually got a box office of 148.07 million US dollars in the third week of its release, and Zhou Baoshan, who is red to purple in North America, have not been ignored or forgotten by the media.

Because they have or are setting new records—

The highest-grossing third week in North American history, The Matrix!

The highest-grossing overseas film in North American box office history, "The Matrix"!

The oriental actor with the most box office appeal in North America, Zhou Baoshan!

And at the same time, there is a new record, which has been repeatedly mentioned by major media in North America and has been hyped. That is, in the past week, "Jurassic Park 2" teamed up with "The Matrix", the two blockbusters collided at the same time, bringing a new record for the weekly box office in North America!

In the past week, 57 films were screened at the same time in North America, generating a total of 458.33 million US dollars in the total box office!

Of course, the Chinese media during the same period were not idle, because the global box office battle between The Matrix and Jurassic Park 2 was also one of the main battlefields in China.

Under such a fierce collision, in the past week, Chinese movies also set a new record for their weekly box office record - in May 2002, because of the box office battle between "Life and Death" and "Once Upon a Time", This record was once thought to be unbreakable in the short term. But just over two years later, "The Matrix" and "Jurassic Park 2" successfully raised the record of more than 300 million in a single month by as much as 54 million!

…………

"The Matrix" was released for three weeks, a total of 16 days, and the total box office has reached 297.23 million US dollars!

At this time, taking into account the film's reputation among North American audiences and its unrivaled advantages in the Chinese and East Asian markets, a number of North American box office forecasting agencies have significantly adjusted their final estimates of the film. Global box office estimates -

At the box office in China, they are estimated to fall above $500 million!

North American box office, they are also estimated to exceed 400 million US dollars!

And for the global box office estimate of "The Matrix", they gave the figure - 1.3 billion US dollars!

The release of this data immediately triggered a big spontaneous discussion within the American film industry - no one would believe, or would like to believe, that a Chinese movie could actually get such a high global box office!

You know, once successful, "The Matrix" will likely become the second-highest-grossing film in global film history! Previously, on this blockbuster list, the best result of Chinese films was 27th!

In 2002, China's Qin Wei and his "The Gate of Life and Death", once with a global box office record of 354 million US dollars, stayed in this position for just 35 days, and then fell all the way. Today, it has fallen out of Top 50!

In fact, everyone is hesitant about whether the Chinese film market has enough capacity to carry a film with a domestic box office of more than 500 million US dollars, that is, 1 billion Chinese yuan!

Because even in recent years, China's film market seems to have been growing rapidly, but for a country where people do not regard watching movies as a normal consumption, the rise of the market and the ability of a single film to absorb the box office are not enough. There is a limit to the upper limit!

But the problem is that after three weeks of release, in fact, even in the past week, even in China, its home base, under the strong impact of "Jurassic Park 2", "The Matrix" lost its Weekly box office champion, but three weeks after its release, the film's total box office has reached a high of 647 million yuan - breaking 1 billion, in fact, it is really possible! Even many domestic media in China believe that this film is fully capable of hitting a higher box office!

However, the one who does not believe is the one who does not believe!

It has to be something that really happened, you put the data in front of him, and he has to shut up!

In some cases, even if things have already happened, some people will continue to clamor, saying that this is impossible, that this is fake, that someone cheated... Wait a minute!

Of course, such people are rare after all.

And in fact, by the middle of the next week, many people have to shut up after seeing the weekday box office hits "The Matrix" earned in its fourth week of release.

When this week's box office was released, something that shocked the entire Hollywood, and even the entire world film industry, appeared unbelievably—

The box office of "Jurassic Park 2" shows a surprising drop in the second week!

This movie doesn't seem to take a step, it will do something scary!

More than 210 million in the first week, although it is a bit scary, considering its huge backing, it can be reluctantly accepted, but the box office plunged directly to only 65.22 million in the next week, what the **** is this?

The word diving is no longer enough to describe the rapid decline of its box office, and it is not even enough to cut in half - it simply has less than one-third of last week's remaining!

In the North American film market, because the market is developed and the market mechanism is perfect, new films are released almost every day of the year, and in the peak season of the film market, new commercial blockbusters are released almost every week. Compared with China, their choices are extremely rich.

Therefore, for a normal commercial blockbuster, if the word of mouth is not particularly good, the box office will plummet in the next week, or even be cut in half. !

However, there are other cases of course.

For example, there are many movies with huge investment, famous directors, big names, and bright stars. When they were released, they were also very popular, but their reputation was too bad, and there was almost nothing to watch. Such movies don’t have to wait a full week, they are often released. On the second day, there were already overwhelming negative reviews, so it couldn't even break out at the box office in the first week, and naturally it didn't matter whether it was diving or not diving in the next week.

Some of them are also bad, but they are obvious!

Under the circumstance that its ability to attract money has special blessings, although the word of mouth is bad, there are still many people who think: anyway, we have to look at it and then come to a conclusion? It's worth it even for XX!

The most typical example, such as "Star Wars"!

Although the fourth film of this series was shot and the box office was a big hit, the word-of-mouth was bad both in the United States and around the world, but there is no doubt that after a few years, as long as the producers continue to make the fifth film, After the release, there will still be countless fans buying tickets to enter the venue!

It's too obvious to watch: the Star Wars series!

However, the United States already has the so-called Star Wars culture that is unique in the world!

This is almost incomprehensible.

Now, Jurassic Park 2 seems to be the same.

Dinosaurs are there. For many viewers, this point of view cannot be ignored~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even after reading a lot of bad reviews in advance, for the sake of dinosaurs, he finally bought a ticket and went in to see it. , After reading it, I came out, despite all kinds of scolding and all kinds of dissatisfaction, but the ticket money is still impossible to get back!

As for people who are willing to pay for a second ticket to the cinema just for the sake of dinosaurs... It's impossible not to have them all, but there are too few.

As a result, the box office of "Jurassic Park 2" exploded in the first week! But in the second week, when the group of moviegoers who were so fond of dinosaurs that they would go to see them even for the sake of dinosaurs were consumed, its box office quickly withered!

But you must know that since the release of "The Matrix", its reputation has always been so good!

And Zhou Baoshan has recently participated in various activities frequently in North America, which has attracted the attention of countless people. Recently, it has become so popular that it has become purple, and even with it, many people who didn't watch movies at all have even begun to move their minds. If I want to go to the cinema specially, I have to watch "The Matrix".

Not to mention, because of the inherent philosophical thinking, this film has aroused the desire of many in-depth movie fans to explore. Therefore, there is even a small group of viewers in North America. Off to see this movie!

And when the heroine He Yingyu, who was originally promoting in Southeast Asia and China, came to the United States and officially joined Zhou Baoshan, it immediately attracted quite a number of fans who were quite interested in the heroine's **** body.

In short, the combination of various punches continues. Although the box office decline is a trend, no one can change it, but "The Matrix" has to carry the fact that it has come to the fourth week of its release, and it has been cut again this week. Weekly box office of $83.27 million!

It actually returned to the top of the box office charts!

Everyone was amazed by it. nt
