[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

On the first day, the IMDB score of Ghost in the Shell has been refreshed.

IMDB score 9.6 points, Rotten Tomatoes freshness 100%,

What is this concept? , such as "Shawshank's Redemption" 9.5 points.A score of 9 or above can already be classified as a masterpiece.

This score will change over time. The most recent "Batman: Shadow of the Shadows" scored 9.0, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 99%.

At home, Christopher Nolan looked at the latest newspaper with a sad look on his face.

His wife came over and asked with some concern: "What's the matter, are you worried about colliding with Spider-Man's schedule?"

Nolan's commercial masterpiece "Batman Begins" this year will also be released in the summer vacation.

Due to the excellent traffic brought by the prequel of "Spider-Man 2", the second part has already taken the lead.It seems that the biggest rival of "Batman" at the box office is it.

Literary and artistic films like "The Aviator" are naturally another way of saying that the summer file is dominated by commercial films.

What Nolan watched was the Global Times' exclusive interview on Claire and Ghost in the Shell.Is it because he saw Martin Scorsese's evaluation of "Ghost in the Shell", a masterpiece?He didn't know what to say anymore, in his eyes, these masterpieces were blown out.He has always been called a "divine director" and there is no fluctuation in his heart, but this is what old Martin said.He propped his chin, still a little concerned.

Nolan pointed to the page of the newspaper to his wife: "No, look, we have another opponent."

Looking at the photo of Claire in professional attire printed under the interview with the Global Times, the wife missed the point and couldn't help but say, "She's so beautiful."

每个人都能感受到暑期档的血雨腥风。美国的电影票房黄金档期有两个：暑期档和圣诞档。暑期档是5月至9月初，圣诞档是12月初至来年1月。暑期档的票房市场更占优势，票房通常能占到全年40%。

This time, "Batman: Shadow of the Shadow", "Spiderman 2" and "Ghost in the Shell" actually collided together.A DC, a Marvel, and a Paramount are all thinking of sharing more cakes, and no one has the intention of changing gears.

It's time to fight on the field.

Everyone is staring at the box office statistics on the day of the release.

The box office of "Spider-Man" on the first day was 2500 million U.S. dollars, and as expected, it topped the North American box office list.

"Batman" grossed $1600 million on its first day.

Another insider was surprised that "Ghost in the Shell" took only $700 million in its first day at the box office.This made Paramount's executives feel a little bit like jumping off the building, after all, they had too high expectations before.

At the end of the first week, "Spider-Man" really topped the list with $1.7 million.

"Batman Begins" followed closely with $6785 million, which is not bad.

The final result of the first week was that "Ghost in the Shell" came in third with $2800 million.

The method of American theaters and film companies is very special.Generally, film companies get more than 90.00% of blockbuster films in the first week, and the decline begins in the second week.

Only got more than 2000 million in the first week, which means that Paramount can only get a little over 2000 million, and then it will get less and less, which is pitiful.But their 4000 million investment, followed by nearly [-] million US dollars of publicity, is a huge cost.

"What are you afraid of?" said the assistant to a brooding Brad.

Brad threw the things in his hands aside: "How can you not be afraid, this is my first investment as CEO, if it doesn't work well, does this mean I'm going to step down now?"

Assistant: "Wait a little longer. After all, it's the first week. The ip of Ghost in the Shell is naturally not as big as the old brands like Batman and Spiderman." Batman, Superman, Spiderman animation, animation is the childhood of every American.As an outsider in the past ten years, Ghost in the Shell cannot compete with fans of the original.

Brad said: "I hope our [-] million publicity expenses are not wasted." I also hope that Claire can be more reliable.

Brad had PR do more press releases.Paramount's local tyrant's publicity investment is very important.Whether you want to see the movie or not, you can see promotional posters for Ghost in the Shell.Subways, buses, highway billboards, interviews with TV shows, newspapers, radio stations, and finally "Ghost in the Shell" everywhere.

Now it seems that unlike people from all walks of life who are optimistic about "Ghost in the Shell", the audience seems to be a little bit unconvinced.

Some media are already ridiculing: "Its box office in the first week is so lagging behind, which makes Paramount lose confidence. What's the use of letting them talk about hype, philosophical speculation, and soul-body links? The audience won't buy it. The audience won't buy it." I like such an obscure movie. In the end, I couldn’t even get back the book, and the box office in the second week will definitely drop to the limit, and then I have to withdraw urgently!”

The forecasting department often calculates the future performance through the box office and the first week's decline in the first week, and the laws of things can often be captured through big data.This is the most authoritative and effective way in the industry.After reporting these data, the producer and the theater will arrange the schedule and prepare for the release time.If the box office in the first week, the decline will not work.The theater will immediately prepare a plan to withdraw files.

The box office of the second week, "Spider-Man" 8600 million.Compared with more than 1 million in the first week, the drop is close to 100%.

Batman's $4800 million is a small drop at 20.00%.

A decline often means word of mouth.The quality of Batman is good, and some people in the industry are already optimistic that Batman will catch up in a corner in the final total box office.

Before they finished praising Batman, they got a shocking news. "Ghost in the Shell" earned $3545 million in the second week, a 23.8% increase!

Increase!

There are no special holidays, but there is an increase!

The predictor dropped his jaw.

What is causing this situation?

The last time this huge increase was in Titanic, Titanic had such a large increase in the second week because of Christmas!

"Honey, what movie are you going to see?"

My girlfriend looked at the theater's lineup, "Ghost in the Shell is ready. I just bought an ice cream, and its promotional poster can be seen on the wrapping paper."

The first audience comes from fans of the original book and those attracted by the publicity.

The second audience came from:

"It looks good."

"God's work!"

"I recommend you go see that."

"There is no more philosophical cyberpunk than this. If there is, then only Blade Runner can surpass it."

The box office results for the third week came out, Spiderman 6900 million.Batman $3600 million.Ghost in the Shell made $2800 million.

In the fourth week, Spider-Man's box office is already weak, with 4000 million US dollars.Batman $3400.Ghost in the Shell $2600 million.

In the fifth week, Spiderman's box office has been overtaken by Batman.

In week six, Ghost in the Shell made $3000 million.Batman is $2800 and Spiderman is $2200.There was another increase, and then reached the top for the first time.

Compared with the average 50.00% decline of the other two films, many people have already seen the clues. Why is Ghost in the Shell so strong? There is no sign of weakness at all, and there is even a small increase?If it continues like this, what will be the result?

Where was the last time such a stable box office appeared?Or Titanic.To be honest, Titanic's basic box office is slightly lower than that of "Ghost in the Shell", and the decline is also larger than that of "Ghost in the Shell".

No. 15 weeks, Spider-Man fell out of the top10, has been released. In the 19th week, Batman fell out of the top 10, and DC decided to release it.

But "Ghost in the Shell" is still there!

Twenty weeks, still there!

25 weeks, still there!

Thirty weeks, still there!

《攻壳》在第五周成功登顶票房榜首。No.30一周以150万美元跌至No.10。No.30一周跌出了top10榜单后，派拉蒙最终进行了下映。这总共25周里，有十七周是票房榜首，打破了泰坦尼克十五周冠军的记录。

A new king of the world was born at this moment.
