Chapter 879 (1/2)
Even if we are ready, when the box office data of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” are released, many people are still stunned.
On December 22, the first day of large-scale painting, the morning and night show, earned 35.27 million US dollars.
On Saturday, December 23, the company made $37.69 million.
On Sunday, December 24, because of Christmas Eve, the box office shrank sharply, still reaching $23.91 million a day.
In the three days of the first weekend, the total box office reached $96.87 million.
Almost 100 million!
December 25, Christmas, although it was Monday, but because of the legal holiday, the box office rebounded sharply again, earning $31.78 million a day.
On Tuesday, December 26, he went back to work and earned $16.69 million.
On Wednesday, December 27, 16.31 million dollars came in.
On Thursday, December 28, 15.51 million dollars came in.
According to the final statistics, ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” grossed $177.16 million from December 22 to December 28 in the first week of its release.
The first week of $177.16 million raised the box office record of $129.13 million just created by Jurassic Park 2 this summer by nearly $50 million.
The average number of screens reached 3443, and the average price of the first week reached 51400 US dollars.
Among them, IMAX cinema, with 26 screens in total, also contributed $5.73 million to the box office of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” in the first seven days of the week. Compared with the total box office of $177 million in the first week of the film, it seems not much. However, the average number of IMAX cinemas is as high as $220000.
For a week, a total of 26 IMAX cinemas across North America were in full supply.
Therefore, it is not hard to imagine that if the IMAX screen number of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” increases to an objective number, even 100, only this part of the cinema is expected to achieve $20 million box office for a film in a single week. Many blockbuster movies don't necessarily make it to $20 million in the first week.
Even Denise and Time Warner did not expect that the box office of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice” would reach this level in the first week. Before that, the best prediction given by the publicity teams of the two companies was only about $150 million in the first week.
As long as we can reach this figure, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice has a great chance of hitting the $500 million mark in North America.
Now, with $177 million in the first week, it's hard to imagine where the total box office in North America of the super blockbuster of the universe of this DC movie will eventually go. Perhaps, it's not impossible for us to reach $600 million in the mainland. What's more, just a staged assembly of the DC superhero universe, the box office can reach such a high level. What's the grand occasion of justice alliance in the future?
Under the strong impact of ”Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice”, the other films of Christmas week can be described as sad.
Since its release on Thanksgiving Day, the 3D animated film beauty and the beast, which has been at the box office every week, has fallen 46% in the sixth week of its release, creating the biggest weekly drop since the opening of the film. The box office of the film has also fallen from $21.15 million last week to $11.43 million.
Six weeks after its release, beauty and the beast grossed $211.97 million.
Considering that the box office of ”Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice” exceeded expectations and may continue to be strong, with the box office of ”beauty and the beast” nearly cut, it is likely that even the $250 million expected by danelise entertainment will not be able to reach.
This is already the case with beauty and the beast, which came in second place. Forrest Whitaker, who was in third place on the list, directed ”when you wake up”, the box office next week dropped 43% and earned $10.81 million.
This black theme drama, originally has a very obvious dark horse potential, but unfortunately, bad luck. The production cost is 15 million US dollars, and the total box office is 29.77 million US dollars in two weeks. Whether it will be able to reach the $50 million mark remains a big mystery.
In the future, films like Harrison Ford's ”the new dragon and the Phoenix” and Leslie Nelson's ”the vampire is crazy” are not worth mentioning.
December 29.
A new box office Week opens.
In other words, if not for all kinds of publicity investment, many films have the impulse to withdraw files temporarily.
However, a total of nine films were started on December 29, four of which were commercial films with a scale of more than 1000 yuan, and five were small-scale films in the award season.
First of all, Oliver Stone's new film Nixon, a Disney biographical film, costs 44 million US dollars. It is obviously intended to start this year's award season with 1310 screens, trying to take a long-term distribution strategy.Warner Bros. also released its independent comedy ”fighting old urchin 2” this week after ”Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice”. It is a sequel, starred by Jack Lemmon, Sophia Rowland and other Hollywood stars. The first song was released two years ago, with a box office of more than 70 million US dollars. The number of screens in the film was 1995.
After the blockbuster ”Street Fighter” at the end of last year, MGM collaborated with Shanger Winton again to launch another B-class action film ”sudden death”, with 1681 screens.
The last large-scale commercial film is fox's Adventures of Tom, adapted from Mark Twain's novel, with 1609 screens.
In addition to the four films with more than 1000 screens, there are five other small-scale films.
Two of them are danelis entertainment.
The first is Katherine Bigelow's new film ”Detroit”, which is about the 1967 riots in Detroit. The film was completed last year and eventually cost 30 million US dollars, with medium production level. Because of their personal relationship, Simon began to participate from the script stage, and watched the film in person until the editing was completed. He put the film at the end of this year, trying to win some nominations for Catherine.
However, although the film has a good effect, there is no denying that the theme of the film is not pleasant. Any country has its own past that it does not like to be revealed, not to mention the very sensitive black riots.
In any case, the film went on smoothly.
As a small-scale point film, the number of opening screens is 63.
Another real story change of ”walking on death row” was completed by the provisional film industry team that produced ”Four Weddings and a funeral” and ”Romeo stained with blood”. Simon incorporated the film company two years ago. The team had produced three films before, including ”Four Weddings and a funeral” and ”Romeo stained with blood” directed by Quentin The movie, directed by Tim Robbins and starring Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon, has a screen count of 27.
In Simon's memory, ”walking on death row” is a box office and award winner. Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon also won her first Best Actress Oscar for the film.
