Movie Master
Chapter 570 Another 200 Million
After entering the fourth week of April, no one has compared Sin City with Sahara Cavalry. These are not two works that can be compared on the same level. City, people are discussing the possibility of this work hit 200 million box office.
In the fourth week of April, the release scale of the two premiere works is relatively limited. Translation Storm is undoubtedly a strong candidate for this week's champion, and the facts have proved this point. Translation Disturbance was easily crowned this week's North American champion, but compared to the 80 million investment, this achievement can only be said to be quite satisfactory and without merit.
Another work that has its premiere is Meeting and Hate Early. This youth romantic comedy cost 30 million to create. It's a big disappointment. The weekend box office is only 7.5 million, which already indicates that it is almost impossible to recover the cost. Even if the North American box office wants to cross the book cost line, it is very difficult.
Meet and Hate failed to show any competitiveness, ranking only fourth in the weekend list, behind last week's premiere of Ghost Cries and Gods Howl.
The box office of Ghost Crying and God Howling fell by 41% this week. For a horror movie, it can be regarded as a drop against the sky. It earned 13 million box office over the weekend, occupying the third place on the list. The cumulative box office in the two weeks also reached 43 million, which was a surprise. Especially considering that its investment cost is only 19 million, which also means that it will enter the profit stage next week, which is a good sign for Sony, which has just acquired MGM.
Of course, the biggest highlight of this week is still Sin City, the unique Sin City.
After entering the fourth week of screening, this R-rated crime movie with a sharp edge still maintained its high performance. It maintained an excellent drop of 33% for the second consecutive week. Doing my part to occupy the runner-up position in this week's list, and successfully achieved a counterattack against Ghost Cries and Gods Howl-considering the excellent decline of this work, Sin City can still achieve a lead four weeks after its release. It is becoming more and more commendable, and more importantly, the cumulative box office of the movie has reached 158 million.
Such a box office trend curve has made the media completely lost their language. Everyone just quietly observed the progress of the film's cumulative box office approaching 200 million, and then exclaimed again.
At this time, the controversy about the movie in the media has gradually calmed down, but the controversy on the Internet has become more and more lively with the passage of time. Quietly, Sin City is following the track of Pulp Fiction, It penetrates into people's lives from all aspects, breaks away from the field of film, and affects more fields with a cultural attitude.
Perhaps in ten years, Sin City will become the benchmark for many independent cult films, just as people compare Sin City to Pulp Fiction.
In the first week of May, when the two premieres of this week lacked impact, Sin City achieved a weekend box office of tens of millions for the fifth consecutive week with a 25% drop, setting a new record again. People's perception of the work's box office pull. After handing over the weekend data of 11 million US dollars, the cumulative box office reached 174 million US dollars, occupying a favorable position before the arrival of the summer holiday.
200 million, this is no longer a legendary height. After five weeks of hard work in Sin City, such a height is already within reach.
Although the summer vacation is coming next week, the impact will be extremely strong, and the box office stamina of Sin City will be severely tested; It has taken the lead, especially considering that the word-of-mouth and controversy of the current movie are flying together, and people's enthusiasm for watching movies has not been weakened. After the summer file starts, with the pressure of blockbuster movies, there is also a torrent of audiences who have opened the gates.
Opportunities and challenges are always two sides of the same coin. If nothing else, the 200 million box office of Sin City has already been guaranteed.
Facts have also verified this point.
In the second week of May, Dynasty of Heaven debuted in 3,500 theaters, kicking off the 2005 summer season with great vigor, but the result surprised everyone. The box office of the premiere was only 1,000. Nine million, the terrible performance poured a bucket of ice water in the summer heat wave, which made the news media, film companies, and audiences who were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the summer file come back disappointed.
This epic blockbuster created by Ridley Scott attracted Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Edward Norton and other actors to join. Among them, Eva, who is the least famous, became famous all over the world by relying on Sin City, which was released six weeks ago, which further increased the thickness of the cast of Dynasty of Heaven.
After the release of Sin City, the army of beauties led by Eva and Jessica completely ignited the enthusiasm of male audiences. They were overwhelmed by the photo invitations of major magazines, and the popularity was close to the current topic. The strongest Angelina - Jolie, staggering.
But even so, Dynasty of Heaven still failed to turn the tide. The huge investment cost of 130 million, but only 19 million in the box office at the premiere, can be called a huge failure, which also makes After the Sahara Cavalry, the film became the second dud of this year; at the same time, it also continued the frenzy of failure of epic films such as Troy and Alexander the Great last year, and once again proved to major film companies , this type of work no longer has market appeal.
Objectively speaking, although the media word-of-mouth of Kingdom of Heaven did not arouse fanaticism, it still reached the pass line, with a comprehensive media rating of 63 points, surpassing Alexander the Great and Troy, and compared with the defeat of the army not long ago, The Saharan Cavalry like a mountain is even better.
Even so, it still hasn't been able to save the decline of epic movies.
The summer season is coming, but it doesn’t bring enough crushing pressure. The same is true for the third week of May. The three works premiered at the same time, but none of them showed enough appeal. Jennifer Lopez The romantic comedy Monster Mother starring Will Ferrell and the sports comedy Football Daddy starring Will Ferrell both achieved a box office of 20 million, but neither of them was able to break out a greater box office potential. In this tearing battle, both losers.
For two consecutive weeks, the summer file has not been able to exert its corresponding power, especially under the weak performance of the premiere works, those old works that have accumulated, precipitated and fermented won a lot of room for development. Looking back on the past month , the most outstanding word-of-mouth audience is undoubtedly Sin City, and only Sin City.
Cranes and clams compete, and the fisherman benefits.
Relying on its own excellent quality, Sin City is still full of vitality after the arrival of the summer file. First, it grabbed the weekend box office of 6.1 million with a 45% drop, and then it was unbelievable. With a 13% increase, it took 6.8 million in the three days of the weekend.
The astonishing drop, the sky-high increase, after entering the summer season, the torrent of audiences pouring into the market, after they couldn't find any outstanding movie works, contributed to the box office of Sin City, which really brought controversy and word-of-mouth together. Take advantage of it.
Immediately afterwards, the highlight of this year's summer file Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith made its debut. This work lived up to expectations. After Hero, it is the second work in film history with a box office of more than 100 million in its premiere weekend, plus the 50 million earned from the early screening on Thursday, when the film ended the first week of screening, the accumulated box office reached 100 million within four days. 158 million, truly bringing the summer craze to the North American continent.
Sin City suffered a heavy blow. This week's box office plummeted by 60%. It only harvested 2.8 million weekend box office, and the pace of hitting 200 million has slowed down significantly. Up to this moment, the advantages and disadvantages brought by the schedule have completely exploded. Obviously, it is impossible for Sin City to reach the height of killing with a knife. In the competition, it did not have the slightest advantage. After the leading advantage of the box office in the same period was gradually eroded, it fell behind Killing with a Borrowing Knife.
Moreover, this is just the beginning. After that, works such as War of the Worlds, Spider-Man Begins: Mystery of the Shadow, Fantastic Four, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and other works will appear one after another. The market space of the city will be further compressed, and the room for rebound will become smaller and smaller.
Despite this, relying on the huge advantages accumulated before, Sin City successfully broke through the 200 million threshold in the third week of June, and the cumulative box office reached 201.3 million.
It happened, it just happened! Before the release of The Day After Tomorrow, people did not expect the ending of 200 million; within the scope. However, this is the reality, the reality really happened, and the outstanding performance of 200 million in North America was once again created.
This not only made Sin City the eighth R-rated movie in film history with a box office of over 200 million, leaving his name in the annals of history; it also made Lance truly Mr. The North American box office of this work broke through 200 million feats, which is truly unprecedented.
Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, George Lucas... and Lancelot Strelow. This is a brand new situation, Hollywood is ushering in a genius, a wizard, a ghost, a future movie master.
