Chapter 152: The weird box office curve! The ship burst!
The North American box office of "Titanic" exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Even though it was not seen by the media and theaters before, it has attracted everyone's attention now.
After its first day of box office results of more than 28 million US dollars, it only reported more than 10 million US dollars in the box office in the next two days. Compared with its high production cost and publicity cost, it can be said to be a miserable loss.
However, in the second week, he scored more than 35 million US dollars in the box office, winning the North American weekly box office champion!
But.
It did not attract the attention of the audience and the film company. Instead, it was all cynicism, calling out another high-cost film that lost its blood.
In the second week of "Titanic", whether it was "Beautiful Teacher" produced by Disney, "Three Children's Action" released by Sony Columbia, or Touchstone Pictures, Emperor Gate Pictures, Lions Gate Pictures The movies released are all **** on the street without exception, and they are all bad movies.
Choose the tall one among the short ones, "Titanic" naturally cannot arouse heated discussion. The media and newspapers are rushing to report on these bad movies. After all, they have to collect money and have to do things!
"Titanic" was directly forgotten!
The scariest thing in the world is being forgotten, and Cameron himself cried out in the toilet.
In the third week, "Titanic" won another $33.31 million in the box office, a drop of only 6.0%, and the weekly box office champion will start again;
Since the film was released, the cynicism in the media began, and it was forgotten by everyone. The time span is three weeks, but its box office has quietly exceeded 100 million US dollars!
"what?"
"Why does it exceed 100 million U.S. dollars at the box office?"
"Could it be that Paramount and 20th Century Fox bought the box office?"
"But it's not right, now they are all paying for the old and miserable, where is there any money to invest in "Titanic"!"
The theaters first noticed that they were unusual, because they were the first hurdles in the box office, and they naturally knew the specific box office amount.
Some media and film critics also noticed the weirdness of Da Chuan.
As the saying goes, "The person who knows you best and who cares about you the most is always your opponent." This is put on Cameron’s old enemy, old opponent, and well-known film critic Asim Albert. It couldn't be more suitable.
"God~!"
Asim frowned and said: "Why did its box office quietly exceed 100 million US dollars? Is it possible that at this point, it can not turn over?!"
As Cameron’s old opponent, Asim naturally did not want "Titanic" to succeed.
...
I have to say that Asim's worries became a reality in the fourth week!
In the fourth week, the ship again reported a box office of 28.71 million U.S. dollars. It was also the North American box office champion this week, with a drop of only 13.8%.
The decline is small, far lower than those high-cost blockbusters in the past.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" a group of media reporters shouted.
"Hahaha, we've missed it. We previously judged that "Titanic" would suffer a huge loss in the box office, but we didn't expect it to have won the North American box office championship for four consecutive weeks, with a cumulative box office of more than 135 million US dollars." The representative exclaimed.
"Who said that our movies will lose money, isn't this up!" 20th Century Fox and Paramount were surprised.
Compared with the media, theaters, and production companies, the audience’s reaction was more direct. They liked the film of Da Chuan. It’s no exaggeration to use "calling friends and calling friends", and many people even started it. The mode of two brushes and three brushes.
So I care...
In the fifth week of the release of "Titanic", the box office unexpectedly showed an inverse growth pattern, which rose 25.4% to more than 36 million U.S. dollars.
is the highest box office single week since its release.
...
Wald Pictures.
Kevin Fitch looked at Zucker and exclaimed: "Boss, it's incredible. It's been a month since Big Ship was in theaters, and there was still a reverse growth in the box office, and it was the highest box office in a single week since it was released. This is so rare, it is a miracle!"
"It's a miracle!" Zhu Ke agreed.
The highest single-week box office only appeared a month after the movie was released. Looking at Hollywood's century-old history, it has not appeared before. However, it basically happened in the 20s and 60s of the 20th century. After entering the 1980s, no film showed a box office curve like "Titanic".
Its small decline is also rare in the world!
"Boss, the box office of the ship might exceed $300 million in North America."
CEO Victor also said: "Of course, if overseas audiences also recognize it, it is estimated that the global box office will not be less than 800 million!"
800 million dollars?
Nonsense!
"Mr. Jones, you won't be kidding me. With a global box office of 800 million US dollars, there are not many in the world. Is it possible that it is another "Jurassic Park"?"
Although Kevin Fitch marveled at the big ship, it was a miracle, but if it had a box office of more than 800 million US dollars, he didn't believe it very much.
"Uh......"
Victor was dumb.
Zhuke laughed.
"Victor, trust your own judgment!"
"Kevin, I agree that "Titanic" you said will not be the next "Jurassic Park" because I firmly believe that it will surpass "Jurassic Park"!"
"You heard me right!"
"It will surpass Spielberg's highest grossing $1.02 billion in film history!"
Zhuke finished his judgment in one breath, and looked at them two triumphantly.
Victor: "......"
Kevin Fitch: "......"
In fact, it is not only Kevin Fitch who didn't believe it, but Paramount and Fox, the production company of the film, couldn't believe that it would be the next "Jurassic Park." Well, even the director Cameron himself can't believe that it will get more than 1.8 billion US dollars in the global box office.
...
As the box office rose step by step, the reputation of "Titanic" gradually spread.
The love story of Jack and Ruth, the performance of the people when the ship sank, the ending song "My Heart Is Eternal", the amazing special effects, and the restoration of the ship a hundred years ago have become the topic of truth discussion among American movie audiences.
In the sixth week, the film again reported a box office score of 25.23 million US dollars.
In the seventh week, it increased by 2.6% inversely, and once again won a box office record of $25.9 million.
The film was released for seven weeks, won the box office championship for seven consecutive weeks, and accumulated a total of 224 million US dollars in the North American box office. Moreover, there is only a difference of more than 20 million US dollars from the North American box office of "Men in Black", which had the highest annual box office in 1997 at US$250 million.
There is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before "Titanic" kicked "Men in Black" and won the highest box office title in North America in 1997.
"What the **** is this?!"
Zhuke looked at the newspaper, and the corner of his mouth raised: "What is the US$250 million in North American box office for "Men in Black"? The ship will hit the North American box office of US$600 million in the future!"
Except for "Avengers 4" and "Star Wars 9", two big IP movies that fans tend to favor, that is, another movie "Avatar" directed by Cameron, there will be none as of 2020 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The North American box office of a film exceeds 600 million U.S. dollars!
"Harry Potter" series, only North American box office, not enough to watch?
"Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Fast and Furious" series, "Twilight" series, "Hunger Games" series, only a single North American box office, and no one in North America has a box office of more than 600 million US dollars.
Just when the entire United States was chanting "Big Ship" is great, the film was also shown in Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Asia and other countries.
Facing the release of "Titanic", the local film companies in these regions and countries didn't care about it at the beginning of the period.
However!
When the film was released in just one day, it broke the highest daily box office record in the region and the country, and when it was much higher than these numbers, these local filmmakers and filmmakers were completely stunned!
"The movie can still be shot like this?!"
I have to say that many filmmakers have been shocked.
Apart from anything else, as for the Xiangjiang area, many film company owners and celebrities were shocked by the big scene of the film when they watched "Titanic".
The local "handwork workshop" style film industry;
Hollywood’s big investment in "heavy industry" movies;
The gap between the two is clearly visible to the naked eye.
Some filmmakers with a pessimistic mentality even directly called: "Our film is over, and our film market will be ruled by Hollywood movies in the future!"
The second update of "" is sent.
Due to work problems, the Minister has adjusted the update during the day to the evening several times, but the Minister has never broken his words. Isn't that right? So the Minister is okay to ask for a wave of support here. Ha ha!
