After "Gravity" created a historic box office miracle during the premiere weekend, the wave of discussions spread out on the social network platform. The full-blown and overwhelming scene is really shocking, and the autumn file is calm. He Sumu has been completely gone, and the holiday season has not yet started, and the enthusiasm of the audience has been mobilized early.

Not only ordinary viewers, but even professional media are not far behind to join in.

Regarding the ending and theme of the movie, the "Hollywood Reporter" wrote a special topic and launched a detailed and in-depth analysis, not analyzing the excellence and greatness of the movie, but analyzing the composition and depth of the movie screen, as well as the dialogue between the two actors. The meaning and extension of the details will eventually lead to the powerful core of the film, which proves the classic and uniqueness of this work!

Wrapped in a seemingly simple and seemingly weak story shell, it is a magnificent and profound subject of philosophical reflection, and all the information and thoughts are integrated into the lens and performance without moving. Sensually placed the audience at the position expected by the director, "Alfonso Cuarón has initially revealed his master style!"

The “Hollywood Reporter” is not the only news media that joins in the fun. In fact, the “New Yorker”, “New York Times”, “San Francisco Chronicle” and “Chicago Tribune” have all published relevant film reviews in order to be more professional and more professional. Analysis from a more in-depth perspective:

Why can the work "Gravity" trigger a collective **** among professional film critics? Also, why do the major media refer to this work as "the perfect balance between business and art"?

From senior movie fans to general audiences, from professional media to social media, all are actively discussing the work of "Gravity".

Now, the disadvantage of the autumn gear has become an advantage, because there is no other competitor in the same period, and the nearest "Thor 2" will be released in three weeks, which also makes the entire market become "gravitational." One family! No one competitor can form a confrontation.

But this is not all, the content of the discussion frenzy is still going on further——

What are the loopholes in the plot of the movie? Doesn't conform to the laws of physics? Or is it not in line with the reality theorem? How many dramatic exaggerations are beyond the scope of reality and common sense?

Do the Soyuz, Tiangong-1, Shenzhou and other space stations conform to reality? Are all the difficulties and troubles Ryan Stone encountered real?

Do the Chinese and Russian languages ​​that appear in the movie respect reality? When Ryan Stone connected to the ground station, those Chinese lines were not translated. Do they have profound meaning?

The introduction of the background story between Ryan and Alex. Will there be further introductions when the Blu-ray Disc is released later? How did Lan Li and Rooney complete their performance?

Etc., etc.

It is precisely because the sense of reality brought by "gravity" is so shocking that the sound of discussion and discussion can't stop at all. Every detail and every link has become the focus of people's hot discussion; the most important What's more, these discussions and arguments are not about the degree of difficulty of the plot and the degree of brain-burning, but the sequelae caused by the detailed and realistic viewing effect.

This is definitely good news for the general audience.

From before the premiere to after the premiere weekend, the discussion between "gravity" and "Avatar" has never been calm. Many film critics also believe that the feeling of watching movies brought by "gravity" is More than "Avatar", "This is a movie that belongs to a movie theater", this sentence can be seen in almost every corner, and now ordinary audiences can finally understand the meaning of it, but if you want to go further Experience, walking into the cinema is obviously the best choice.

This is the box office.

Standing at this moment, looking back at the emergence of "Avatar" at the end of 2009, all aspects are reminiscent of the "Titanic" in 1997.

The two works were not favored before they were released. Both works were considered to be at a loss. The mainstream professional media thought that James Cameron was playing with fire, super high investment, repeated delays in the production cycle, The choice of incomprehensible subject matter, the use of technology beyond the scope of the times...All of them are foreshadowing that the arrogant James will shoot himself in the foot.

"Avatar" premiere weekend box office is indeed not satisfactory, only 77 million US dollars.

You know, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", which premiered only four weeks ago, swept over 140 million box office data during its premiere weekend, almost twice that of "Avatar". It's such a huge difference. , It's really cruel; what's more deadly is that the production cost of "Crescent Moon" is only 50 million, while the cost of "Avatar" is 250 million.

With such data, even Fox in the 20th century has been half cold, not to mention the major news media. Everyone thinks that James has really kicked the iron this time, and it is very likely that he will encounter the most cruel and most cruel in history. In a bad time in Waterloo, many media reporters seemed a little gloating.

But who could have imagined that after the premiere weekend, the praises from the audience began to spread, and the performance became more and more intense. There is no need to wait until the next Friday, Monday to Thursday for four days. Here, the "Avatar" movie-watching frenzy created the crazy scene of Christmas that year. It swept nearly 70 million in four days, and it was so amazing that all the media shattered their jaws.

The following second weekend went a step further. "Avatar" dropped by 1.8% against the sky, creating the lowest drop of more than 3,000 works in premiere venues since "Titanic". Taking the weekend box office of 7,500, the cumulative box office for two weeks after the release easily exceeded the 200 million threshold.

Everyone knows what happened later, and "Avatar" became the first film history to break 700 million at the box office in North America.

The box office curve of "Avatar" is almost the same as that of "Titanic". From the very beginning when it was not favored, it finally created a historical record and completed the counterattack. So far, James officially established his status as the king of the North American box office. When he declared himself When preparations for the "Avatar" sequel are about to begin, Twentieth Century Fox's funding will no longer be a problem.

Now, the powerful momentum of "gravity" really reminds people of the "Avatar" in 2009, and the ubiquitous discussion boom has created an illusion that the whole world has fallen into madness. Even if it is not, it is not far away.

Immediately after the second week of October, the much-anticipated moment finally arrived: How many weekly declines can "Gravity", which just created the box office record for the premiere of North American autumn film history?

This is the key factor that determines the ultimate box office height of the movie. The first week's big hit and the next week's box office avalanche are definitely countless in the movie history. The darker the performance on the premiere weekend, the more dangerous the data for the next week's decline, full of countless possibilities.

But this time, the accident came. Or in other words, the familiar scene is here again-the miraculous scene created by "Avatar".

Beginning on Monday, October 7th, the movie-watching frenzy has already invaded. Even though it is still a working day, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of people pouring into the cinema, and it is still rising bit by bit as time progresses. , The rising curve of the heat wave simply cannot stop.

Warner Bros. finally couldn't bear it, and board members of different factions complained for the first time.

At first, "Avatar" chose to be released on the Christmas schedule, and the premiere date was December 18th. Although it is still a working day and there is one week before Christmas, the students are already on vacation, and they are coming soon. Christmas and New Year holidays are also connected, all of which laid the foundation for the movie's box office miracle-even Monday to Thursday working days, because of the relationship between the holidays, this has become room for box office growth.

But "gravity" is not so convenient.

October is a normal working day. There are no statutory holidays and no special holidays. Working days are working days. You can only stand up to the obstacles of working days and win the opportunity to increase the box office. All the staff can only crowd in the night scene to watch movies. , The audience could not be divided, and there were not enough evening shows. What's worse, they only had 3,500 screening theaters—not enough! not enough! Not enough!

By the way, there are only 3,500 theaters in "Avatar", but they have holiday advantages, and the passenger flow can be fully shared.

Without such a convenient "gravity", one can only choose to add a pavilion-temporary pavilion addition means increased publicity costs ~www.novelhall.com~unexpected cost stacking.

Warner Bros’ senior board of directors expressed strong dissatisfaction: “This work had hoped to hit the 600 million to 700 million box office level in North America, but now it may be 500 million is already in danger. Business is not like this, the ratio of investment to return It's totally wrong! Whose decision-making error is this? Whose judgment is wrong?"

Complaining goes to complaining, but it is too late now, and it's done, they can only see if it is too late to fix the situation.

From Monday to Thursday, "Gravity" earned 60 million in the box office. Before the weekend of the next week, the cumulative box office easily exceeded the 200 million threshold. All of this has indicated that the film's next week's decline will not be too bad. —— Spoiler in advance; Warner Bros. reacted immediately. The 3,500 theaters expanded to 3,800, hoping to relieve the pressure of the movie watching boom in the next week as soon as possible.

For works with a box office of more than 100 million premieres, the next week’s decline can be regarded as a victory as long as the decline is controlled below 55%. This is already a common understanding in the industry, but in the end, "gravity" is being released. In the second week, it turned over a 32% box office drop, copied the miracle created by "Shrek 2" in 2004, and continued its magical performance!
