The first week of August!
For the summer file, it has entered the second half. This year’s summer file has too many surprises, the first phase of "Tornado" and "Mission Impossible"; the second phase of "Brave to Death Island" and "Mission Impossible". "Independence Day" swept the entire North American film market from the silence and gloom of last year, and once again made people feel the glory of Hollywood at its peak.
However, in the first week of August, there was a lack of confidence. Only two new movies were released this week.
One is "Matilda (. As a children's family fantasy movie, this movie has an investment of 36 million yuan. In the case of lack of big names in the cast, it once played the villain in "Batman Returns" The famous Penguin comedian Danny DeVito (danny.) became the only thing to watch. He not only played an important role in the movie, but also the director of the movie. This work has been screened in two thousand theaters. Obviously, Sony Columbia Pictures is still quite confident.
Another "chain reaction (. is coming raging, investing 60 million US dollars, but also found Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman partner, the heroine chose the new actress Rachel -Vichy (.), it can be seen that the ambition is not small. This was released by Twentieth Century Fox and screened in 2,300 theaters. Obviously, the original idea was to take the "Independence Day" class and continue to hit the summer file in August-but I didn't think of "Independence Day". The strength actually lasted until August!
Originally, in the media’s opinion, the “chain reaction” was undoubtedly a strong candidate for this week’s box office championship, but after the fourth week of Independence Day, there was still a weekend box office capacity of 25 million US dollars, which also made August. The box office trend of the first week is unpredictable, and no one can assert what will happen.
Sure enough, an accident occurred.
A series of real box office data clearly shows the popularity of "Independence Day" in the United Kingdom and Germany. It has set off a wave of movie watching around the world, which also makes those viewers who are always not interested in "Independence Day" can not help but Curiosity arose—not only in the United States, but also in foreign countries. Is this movie really worth going into a movie theater? As a result, in the fifth week of the "Independence Day" screening, there was a surge of moviegoers unexpectedly, which made people stunned.
The “Independence Day”, which had already started to reduce the number of theaters in theaters last week, seems to have quietly increased the number of theaters in theaters this week. This is definitely one of the few in the history of distribution strategy. This shows the enthusiasm of the crowd of moviegoers, and the strong confidence of the major theaters in "Independence Day" and Hugo.
In the end, "Independence Day" returned the trust of the major theaters, and unexpectedly handed over a drop of only 10%, allowing the media that originally thought that they would never be surprised to break their own fixed ideas and chin again. dislocation. Last week’s 25 million U.S. dollar decline was actually only a 10% decline this week, which means that the weekend box office of the fifth week of the "Independence Day" screening reached 22.5 million!
Weekend of the fifth week! Two thousand and five million!
"Independence Day" easily broke the record held by the "speed of life and death"-16 million US dollars on the fifth week of the weekend, which not only created a new history, but also became the only movie in the history of film history at the box office for five consecutive weeks Film works that have exceeded 20 million, which has left all North American media completely speechless. Even the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" have been unable to find any words to express their inner emotions. .
Carrying the strong momentum of the weekend box office, "Independence Day" brought its cumulative box office to 379 million US dollars in one fell swoop, leaving only 20 million and a little more blank from the 400 million moat. This means What are you doing? It means that if "Independence Day" can still maintain the strength of the fourth and fifth weeks, maybe history will be officially born next week! Even if the "Independence Day" fell slightly in the sixth week, as long as it does not completely collapse by more than 50%, it will only be a matter of time before it breaks through 400 million.
"Boom!" This whole North America is lively, everyone is so excited, because they are going to witness the birth of history, they are going to witness the first film history, in the first round of screenings, really broke through the box office of 400 million US dollars. The work is born! The benchmark that was once considered impossible to achieve is now within reach, which is enough to make everyone enthusiastic about it.
But this is not a good thing for the "New York Post", "USA Today" and other media. Hugo won again. With the victory of "Independence Day", it is conceivable that the entire Hollywood debate will happen. A decisive tilt, and Hugo, as the first person in the 20 million club today, is even more worthy of the throne as the world's first person, and no one can shake it.
Perhaps, the only thing to be thankful for is that this time the "New York Post" and "USA Today" did not go to their heads, knowing that this is a historical process, so they did not arrogantly directly provoke Hugo, otherwise they would be like " Just like "Moment of Killing", the sound disappeared before it could be heard.
Of course, maybe they can comfort themselves. The higher they stand and the more attention they have, the heavier the responsibility and the smaller the room for fault tolerance. Once they fail, they will fall more miserably. But... will Hugo really fail? Will such a day really come? Colin Mailer suddenly felt a little at a loss.
In the first week of August, the warming up of the crowds of moviegoers on "Independence Day" became the biggest attraction. Neither "Matilda" nor "Chain Reaction" was able to come out. It just made a bubble, and then It quickly disappeared from sight. On the road of the wheel of history, few people can really shake the heavy wheel mark.
In the end, "Matilda" had a box office of 8 million at the weekend and a "chain reaction" box office of 7.5 million at the weekend, both of which ended in a disastrous defeat. Especially compared to the "chain reaction", the investment of 60 million US dollars and the joining of a super-strong cast lineup resulted in a defeat. This is obviously a blow to the 20th Century Fox. However, such a blow is not worth mentioning in the face of the power of "Independence Day".
What really showed off this week was the "Moment of Killing." Under the strong pressure of "Independence Day," it surrendered a 15% drop and achieved a weekend box office of $12.75 million. This is also In the past three weeks, the only work that can pass the 10 million threshold at the weekend box office, especially in the face of giant crocodiles like "Independence Day," this result is even harder to come by.
However, "Moment of Killing" has accumulated $41.5 million in box office data for two weeks, but it is still bleak. There is no problem with cost recovery, but it is even more difficult to make a profit. The battle between Joe Schumacher and Hugo was only two weeks before Mingjin ended and the curtain came to an end. Even the people who watched the jokes were gone, leaving only an empty chicken feathers, deserted.
"Independence Day" domineeringly completed the five consecutive North American box office championships, which became the longest consecutive week after "Yihai Xiongfeng" in 1992, and it was created in the extremely competitive summer file, which is even more rare. . At present, the number of weeks that "Independence Day" has won the championship in the summer file is only ranked fifth after "Back to the Future", "Ghostbusters", "Alien e.t", and "Unforgivable". Bit.
"Moment of Killing", "Matilda" and "Chain Reaction" ranked second to fourth in this week's box office rankings.
Everyone has set their sights on the North American box office rankings, because any day that follows may become a day when the "Independence Day" cumulative box office exceeds 400 million, a day in history and a change in the North American film market. The day becomes a day to change the pattern of movies.
Under such circumstances, the "Jake" and "Escape from Los Angeles", which will be released in the second week of August, seem a little embarrassing. They are obviously the new works released this week. However, in media interviews, "Independence Day" has become a topic that cannot be circumvented, and they have all become a foil for "Independence Day" through and through.
In particular, "A Home Has Jack" is still starring Robin Williams. The comedian has always had a very good relationship with Hugo, but he saw it very openly and accepted it all with a smile. "I will let Hugo treat me to a meal. I have worked so hard to promote his film. Of course, I will accept it if it is a check."
Robin’s wit and humor also made the reporters laugh. In response, Hugo, who had returned to the United States, had missed the premiere of the film, but he went to the cinema to watch "Home Has Jack~www.novelhall." com~ and also brought a large group of friends. This scene was recorded by reporters and became an interesting tidbit this week.
But even so, the real focus is still on "Independence Day". From Monday to Thursday, the audience flow of the major theaters has become the focus of discussion-because the North American Theater Alliance will not participate in the exhibition. Publishing the daily box office data will only announce all the box office details of the past week at the same time as the weekend box office is announced.
Fox TV is even more exaggerated. They even set up a section in their news program. They retrieve movie theater reports from major cities in the United States every day, and then analyze when the "Independence Day" will make history. According to Fox TV reports show that this day is likely to be Friday this week, which is August 9th!
Although this section sounds very boring, it is unexpectedly supported by a large number of viewers. The number of viewers has been steadily rising. This has also made Fox TV stations excited up and down, while others are dumbfounded-"Independence" The craze of "Japan" is indeed everywhere.
Facts also proved the wisdom of Fox TV, because on August 9, the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" officially crossed the 400 million threshold, becoming the first film in North American film history to reach four in the first round of screenings. Billion box office works!
