Chapter 551 (1/2)
In the second week of its release, the lost lover won the box office championship in North America, and did not meet any competitors at all. None of the films released in the same period can play.
When other films are all bad films, as long as the audience enters the cinema, 80% will choose the only one with good reputation.
The box office of the film fell by only 20%, firmly occupying the weekend champion. At the weekend alone, they made 26.8 million box office, with a cumulative box office of 78 million.
This achievement is almost the same as that of the parallel world, when David finch's film was released in October 2014.
There was competition for good films when the original was released. ”Annabel”, ”the first year of Dracula” and ”father the judge” have also achieved good box office results in North America. Now this film is a unique one, and the box office of the second film is less than ten million.
The timing of Spielberg and paramount executives is crucial. As long as the competition is small, the results achieved in October may be higher than those in Christmas and summer. It will happen this year.
Although those two schedules are good, the competition is extremely fierce. Even if the film is of high quality, the competitors will take some box office. Usually there are all kinds of films at that time.
Nowadays, the lost lover is unique, and its quality is better than that of a large part of the films in the same period. Moreover, this is not a pure commercial film. The suspense and thriller content is deeply loved by film critics. With the help of film critics, more people will be attracted to the cinema.
Los Angeles media said: ”it is not difficult for the lost lover to break the box office of 100 million in North America. Liang Kun's prediction before the release will become a reality. His goal is to break the box office of 100 million in North America. According to the current trend, the film can even become the top ten at the box office of the year.”
North American netizens commented on the film. Some people think that Liang Kun's cooperation with Spielberg and paramount is the key to success. His road is so smooth because the backstage is hard.
The netizen was ridiculed by a group of netizens. In fact, except for Liang Kun's films, DreamWorks has not been successful at the box office since ”escape from clone island”.
In September last year, DreamWorks made a film ”heartbroken boy”. This year, the film was released in September. It was very miserable. The film is adapted from the classic comedy of the same name in 1972. The director is the Ferrari brothers who made Ben Stiller popular, and the star is Ben Stiller who reunited with the director brother nine years later.
These gimmicks, coupled with the brilliant record of the comedy ”wonderful night at the museum” which sold more than 200 million in the United States, no one expected that the box office of ”heartbroken boy” would break the hearts of film makers. People didn't compare that film with Liang Kun's new work because it was so bad that people couldn't remember it.
Among the films released at the same time, fox's ”dark rise” is also a dud. Liang Kun stepped on the big company's competitors and looked stronger. The film received only 3.72 million yuan from 3141 cinemas in its first three days, and disappeared in the second week. The investment of the two films was almost the same, and paramount won.
”Fatal bend 2” ranks second in the box office list, which is not a threat to the lost lover. The film is a bloody route, and the audience who like to watch this kind of film is a fixed group.
It is worth mentioning that the duel Juma town starring Christian bell, Ben Foster and Russell Crowe was also released recently. The box office of the painting opened in September was 14 million, and the box office fell sharply this week, ranking only eighth.
Liang Kun, as a leading actor, has won the best evaluation in terms of acting skills, beating bell and Russell Crowe, who won an Oscar for Gladiator. Bell's fans are now sweating for Batman.
Fans all over the world are talking about Liang Kun. This month, he has become one of the most topical stars in the world.
People in Liang Kun's circle called him to congratulate him. He was even more beautiful than Michael Bay. ”Transformers” is more successful at the box office, but it is a pure popcorn film. The best sound effect and visual effect awards hit the Oscar at most.
”The lost lover” is favored by many people. It is competing for performance award and director award.
In the third week, the box office of the lost lover remained strong, breaking 100 million in North America.
With its high reputation, the North American box office of the lost lover can hit $150 million at the next screening. This week Liang Kun became the most watched young director in Hollywood, stronger than Christopher Nolan's rise.
Liang Kun attended two more parties in Los Angeles. Many people want to know him. Spielberg finished filming ”Indiana Jones 4” in the middle of the month and contacted him as soon as he returned to Los Angeles. Congratulations on his good results.
Spielberg asked Liang Kun about his next plan. He said that there is no new script and shooting plan for the time being. He wants to prepare for next year's Yanjing Olympic Games and win glory for the country.
This is what he said in his heart, quite a reasonable reason.
By the way, he can wait for the release of the Dark Knight next year. When the ”clown” gets high praise, his value will be higher. It's no harm for him to slow down. Recently, he will write a script and shoot it. The time will be very urgent.
Having become famous in Hollywood, he doesn't have to work so hard.
