After "Transformers 2" won $60.63 million at the box office on the first day of its premiere in beimi, that is, Wednesday, June 24, transformers 2 regained a staggering $28.62 million on Thursday, which is $3 million more than the distribution company mm expected.

Transformers 2 has hit the best Wednesday box office in history, and $28.62 million is the fourth highest Thursday box office. It should be pointed out that the three films ahead of it, namely Star Wars prequel 3 in 2005, matrix 2 in 2003 and Star Wars prequel 2 in 2002, premiered on Thursday, which itself is a misplaced match, From this point of view, "Transformers 2" at least in the box office appeal will not lose to the top three.

In just two days, "Transformers 2" was in 4234 cinemas in North America, including 300 IMAX theaters. On Thursday alone, these theaters contributed $3.3 million - earning a box office of 89.25 million, exceeding everyone's prediction.

There is no doubt that Transformers 2 has been the second highest box office in the five days of its premiere. By Sunday, the box office of the film will reach at least $185 million, second only to Batman: The Dark Knight's $203 million. The question now is whether it is possible for Transformers 2 to challenge Batman: The Dark Knight's position as the boss. In view of the fact that Transformers 2 has been breaking all kinds of records and constantly forgetting all kinds of forecast figures for two days, can people see the emergence of a new box office king.

When it comes to the weekend, all this is no problem. The performance of 220 million Xiuyi makes it a well deserved new box office king.

Even Mark said that without James Cameron's Avatar, it would be well deserved. There is no doubt that it will be the global box office champion of beimi. His tone is so big that he doesn't pay attention to Harry Potter 6 and ice age 3.

However, mark also admitted that there will be a fierce battle between transformers 2 and ice age 3 in the second week.

Who will the box office champion spend next week? The two most promising summer blockbusters, "ice age 3" and "Transformers 2" are estimated to have a box office of $62.5 million at the weekend.

As the top producer in Hollywood, mark is famous for his sharp eyes, good at film selection and scheduling. His films are all popular, with awards and no awards at the box office. Jerry Bruckheimer, the king of producers, is convinced of the power of the hand of God.

Mark also has the quality of a boss and is good at employing people. The rich second generation, such as David Ellison, used to be a frustrated man, but now under Mark's guidance, several films have achieved success, and the transformers series has achieved great success. The transformers series was dug from the mouth of DreamWorks.

At that time, many people ridiculed little David and were sold by the old fox David Gefen. Now people laugh at David Gefen. The old fox capsized in the gutter and made a scene of shame in his career when he was about to retire. He sold the most valuable gold mine to mm at a low price, which has become a classic failure case like a textbook.

Now mm will build transformers into a transformer universe. How ambitious is this? This will also be one of the three universes of mm. Each universe will drive sales fees of more than 10 billion US dollars, even the gold mine. The loss of transformers makes the life of DreamWorks more sad and has become a laughing stock of others.

Whether Transformers 2 can break through depends on the next week, they will face off with ice age 3.

For the battle between transformers and ice age, the box office statistics organization guesses that ice age 3 will be a little higher. Because Sunday will be the world for the family to enjoy the audience, the box office statistics organization also temporarily lists ice age 3 as the box office champion of this week. Under the great pressure of Transformers 2, ice age 3 received $62.5 million in five days, even lower than the box office figure of the first two episodes. "Public enemy number one" had a flat start, which also reduced beimi's box office this week by 26% compared with the peak of "national Superman Hancock" last year.

July 4th, the independence day with many celebrations, happens to be Saturday this year, and Saturday is often the day with the highest box office at the weekend. I believe it has a certain negative impact on the weekend box office.

When Pixar and DreamWorks Animation, the two major animation giants in the United States, were fighting at the box office, they didn't notice that other new forces were gradually emerging, such as blue sky animation under Flowserve in the 20th century, ice age series, robot adventure and elephant Horton adventure produced by this animation company, which started with computer special effects Both have achieved good box office results, and the 3D version of ice age 3 only cost FOSS $90 million, compared with $175 million in Pixar's flying house and DreamWorks Animation monsters vs. aliens, which makes people feel quite value for money.

The first two episodes of "ice age" have been published one after another. Of course, "ice age 3" is unconditionally included in this year's must see list, but the official preview released before is chilling, because the jokes inside are old-fashioned and boring, but there are also audiences in the cinema who have a stomachache. Although the cartoon needs the support of the family audience to a large extent, the market survey conducted by Flowserve found that many children are a little cold about ice age 3. They may be worried that they will become another set of lost land with dinosaurs as the protagonist. Therefore, on the father's Day weekend before Transformers 2, priority venues will be held in hundreds of cinemas across the meter, Hope to drive the box office through word-of-mouth, and what is the result?

Ice age 3 first received $13.79 million at 4032 cinemas in quanmi on its opening day on Wednesday, temporarily surpassing the $10.93 million on the day of Transformers 2, while Thursday's $11.21 million fell behind the $11.52 million of Transformers 2.

By Friday, the release scale of ice age 3 had increased to 4099 theaters. Although the US $17.2 million on that day was still lower than the US $17.94 million of Transformers 2, it exceeded the box office performance of Transformers 2 on Saturday (US $11.25 million) and Sunday (US $14.07 million), and finally topped the list with the weekend box office performance of Transformers 2 of US $62.5 million.

There was a tie for the championship.

In fact, I'm afraid the box office champion and runner up are not only the difference in name, but also affect the publicity of the film to some extent. Most viewers are more impressed by the box office champion films than the runner up, and the box office champion will also appear in the headlines of major media reports, which will virtually increase a lot of exposure. As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the Kou. Let's see who can laugh last.

Just as the first two episodes of "ice age" performed better overseas, especially "ice age 2", although it recorded only US $195 million at the box office in beimi, it sold us $456 million in the overseas market. 20th century Flowserve also specially arranged for the simultaneous release of "ice age 3" in most countries and regions around the world, and "ice age 3" also lived up to expectations, with a crazy volume of US $148 million in 101 countries and regions. It has become the animation and 3D film with the highest box office in the world in film history, and its overseas premiere achievement ranks sixth in film history.

Among the 11652 screens in the overseas market, about 18% of them are 3D screens, bringing 34% of the box office revenue. It can be seen that global audiences still enjoy 3D films.

In addition, the cumulative amount of US $62.5 million was recorded in beimi cinema, and the global box office of ice age 3 has accumulated to US $215 million in the first week. Considering that China, Japan, South Korea, Italy and other markets have not been released yet, I believe there is still room for further growth.

Just like the first two films, "ice age 3" also takes "family" as the core theme. In the first episode of mammoth, he likes to embrace beauty, but in this episode, he encounters a problem he has never thought of - he is about to become a father. While he was worried about whether he could be a qualified elephant father, the otter had the idea of taking care of the children, so he volunteered to be the temporary father of three small dinosaurs, but the real big dinosaurs came to him.

Prehistoric squirrels born for nuts met female squirrels with both beauty and ingenuity, and one eyed weasels nicknamed dinosaur catchers, which also won a lot of laughter and applause from the audience. At present, the IMDB score reaches 7.6 and Yahoo score also has a -, but the media film review gives 46% praise rate of rotten tomatoes and 52 media score.

Roger Albert, a veteran film critic of the Chicago Sun, gave a high score of three-and-a-half stars (out of four stars) and praised "this is the best set of 3D effects I have seen in cartoons".

Variety magazine believes that ice age 3 pays more attention to action scenes than the first two episodes, and the 3D effect also serves the narrative well. This is a set of very "charming" films.

Entertainment Weekly rated ice age 3 as excellent, interesting and uncontroversial, but sometimes stupid.

Both the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter believe that the biggest problem with the film is that it can't see too much original content.

Ice age won the championship of the week, but failed to complete the task of fighting Transformers 2. After the hard work of the second week, transformers 2 sold $64 million in the second week, ranking second by a narrow margin, but its total box office in beimi rose to 284 million, which is only a step away from 300 million, maybe in a day or two, You can accomplish this task.

The media also began to think that this will be another masterpiece of beimi breaking $400 million. In view of its bad beer, beimi breaking $400 million is expected, but $450 million will be its watershed. It is basically hopeless to break $450 million, but this is enough to make it possible to break $1 billion in the world.

Even Mark said, "transformers have the hope of breaking through one billion. We will celebrate them at the MM center."

This may be MM's first blockbuster, and Mark's dark knight is Warner's and cannot be included in their company.
