Chapter 584 (1/2)

The most popular movie in the Easter season is mission impossible.

Simon accompanied the two women on maternity leave. In the past few months, the acquisition of paramount communications by sigram group of Canada was approved by the federal government in the opposition of many media, and the two sides officially completed the transaction in October.

Therefore, mission impossible is the first blockbuster of the sigram group after it entered Hollywood.

Thanks to the accumulation of blockbuster films such as ”the Moonlight” and ”killing time”, Nicholas Cage has become a new generation of male stars with strong box office appeal, and the heroine Demi Moore is no less popular than cage.

In terms of cost, the production cost of the first ”mission impossible” finally reached 65 million US dollars. Paramount and Denise generously put forward another 35 million US dollars of publicity budget this time, making up a total investment of 100 million US dollars. It can be said that they are determined to win this Thanksgiving schedule.

I didn't expect to kill a lion king.

After the box office of $70.31 million in the first week, the Lion King continued to gain momentum in the next week. In the face of new films such as mission impossible and the perfect world, from November 26 to December 2, the box office decline in the second week was still only 26%, making another $52.06 million.

In the first two weeks, the cumulative box office of ”the lion king” quickly hit a high of $122.37 million, and even showed the potential to impact the annual champion position of summer season ”Superman”.

In the face of the strength of the lion king, mission impossible, which is well publicized both in the early stage and after the release, finally made $46.35 million at the box office in the first week, far lower than the initial $60 million expected by the distribution team.

In the first week of $46.35 million, the box office data is equivalent to the opening data of ”Raider 3” four years ago. However, with the change of Hollywood film distribution mode and the same opening scale, ”mission impossible” is hard to hit the domestic $200 million mark like ”Raider 3”.

As for how far the final box office can reach, it depends on the curve in the next few weeks.

Of course, the box office of $46.35 million in the first week is definitely not a failure. It is certain that the total box office in North America will exceed $100 million. Even if the local box office can not make the film companies recover the cost, it is not a big problem for spy in the disc to make a profit through the global cinema distribution based on the market heat shown by the film and the data feedback from the overseas ticket warehouse in the same period.

Compared with the box office performance of another large-scale commercial film ”perfect world”, mission impossible once again confirmed that blockbuster will become the mainstream development trend of Hollywood studios.

”The perfect world”, directed by Clint Eastwood and starred by Kevin Costner, has a strong lineup. The production cost of $30 million has also reached A-level. Warner Bros., the producer, has also arranged the opening scale of 1964 screens for the film.

After the release, this crime drama about a escaped robber who accidentally ”kidnaps” a little boy and wanders around the world together to get redemption is not bad.

However, compared with the $46.35 million box office in the first week of mission impossible, the box office in the first week of the perfect world was only a disappointing $10.06 million.

Old cowboy and Costner's strong creative lineup, Thanksgiving's best schedule, nearly 2000 pieces of opening screen, Warner originally expected this film to become another 100 million yuan Club blockbuster, now, the first week of $10.06 million, the film's total box office in North America is difficult to exceed 30 million, can only expect the box office performance of overseas markets.

However, in the next few months, the eyes of overseas film makers are bound to focus on such films as ”Lion King”, ”mission impossible” and ”steel bone”, the new cosmic project of DC film on Christmas schedule.

In December, the North American film market fell into a short cold period between the two major periods.

From December 3 to December 9, the Lion King's box office inevitably fell by a large margin. In the third week of its release, the box office fell by 36%, and it closed for another $33.29 million, with a total of $155.66 million in the three weeks.

Mission impossible failed to threaten the Lion King's box office champion position in the first week. In early December, the box office data failed to escape the cold period. The box office decline of the next week reached 37%, which was more serious than the lion king. The box office volume of a single week also fell to less than $30 million, only $29.34 million.

Mission impossible grossed $75.69 million in two weeks.

Such a trend of box office in the next week will certainly be no problem if it exceeds 100 million yuan. However, the total domestic box office data still depends on the box office trend during the Christmas season.

For other films released at the same time as the two giants of ”Lion King” and ”mission impossible”, the box office of ”perfect world” dropped 32% in the next week, which seems to be better than that of ”Lion King” and ”mission impossible”. However, the box office revenue in the second week was only $6.86 million, which basically dropped out of the competition at the end of the year.

On the other hand, my fair dad, which was released at the same time as the lion king, made $21.08 million in the first week. After that, the box office fell by 26% in the next week and made $15.6 million. In the third week, the box office still fell by 29% and continued to earn $11.31 million.In three weeks, my fair dad, who lives between the two giants, grossed $47.99 million.

With the family atmosphere of this film, it's not a big problem to realize the box office rebound in the Christmas season, so it's still the seed player who impacts the box office Club of members.

Moreover, the production cost of ”my fair dad” is only $25 million, and the box office revenue of $47.99 million in three weeks has basically made fox recover all the production cost, and it is easy to make considerable profits through the local box office in the future.

Fox is very satisfied with the box office performance of ”my fair father”. The media also feel that it is very good to get such a box office performance under the attack of ”Lion King” and ”mission impossible”. Only Simon knows that, affected by the two blockbusters of ”Lion King” and ”mission impossible”, the box office performance of ”my fair father” is smaller than the original domestic performance of $200 million The water is half full.

The phenomenal box office bomb like ”Lion King” has greatly increased the box office capacity at the end of the year. However, the audience base of the North American market is limited after all.

In the face of the domestic box office of ”Lion King”, even ”mission impossible” has been wrongly injured, not to mention ”my fair dad” such family comedy.

There is a flattering element in comedy movies.

When the audience has no other choice, they will be given priority only when they happen to meet the suitable holiday.

However, in the face of absolute strength, comedy movie is like a clown performing farce, facing the world-class boxing champion with one punch. ”My fair dad” is still facing two powerful ”strong men” in ”Lion King” and ”mission impossible”.

December 10, a new box office week.

Danilisi Entertainment's gaomen film company quietly launched Steven Spielberg's film ”Schindler's list” about the Holocaust in World War II. At the beginning, it was only 25 pieces of open screen scale.

Despite the tense relationship with the westero system, the major print media in North America have shown a rather respectful and cautious attitude towards the film, including the cinema where the film was shown. They have specially given notices to remind the audience that this is not a suitable movie to watch with popcorn. They hope that the audience entering the cinema will keep a certain degree of solemnity and quiet, in order to show their dissatisfaction with the previous period Looking back on the history of respect.

This is the greatest political correctness.

Of course, the objection is not without.
