2011 Continued to go strong
The North American market is the most mature and perfect commercial film territory in the world, due to various historical backgrounds and social reasons, the two sets of tights effect is bringing more constraints to the market, but breeding uncertainty, which is also the inevitable price of being at the forefront of pioneering and enterprising.
Relatively speaking, on the contrary, it is a relatively stable and relatively mature overseas market such as Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Australia, etc., which are in the most stable state of the system at this stage, and the superstar effect and word-of-mouth effect can still play the greatest role, and the box office of excellent works will always not disappoint, and the rules and context of the market are still the most familiar, so that film companies can rest assured.
This also means that works with outstanding reputation will not be disappointed in overseas markets, such as "Captain America 2" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past", and the box office results are more stable than those in the North American market, which is why major film companies are paying more and more attention to overseas markets. Now, it's the turn of Interstellar.
This has been proven by the facts.
In June, "Interstellar" began to land in overseas markets one after another, and finally in October, the film landed in Japan, the last major market in the world, announcing the completion of the release of "Interstellar" in 64 countries and regions around the world: although the overall number of regions is not the largest, inferior to "Captain America 2", "Transformers 4" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" and other works, the excellent box office figures easily surpassed many competitors, and handed over a perfect answer.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the South Korean market erupted with incredible energy, and even surpassed Lan Li's hometown of the United Kingdom in one fell swoop, becoming the second largest box office in the global overseas market after Huaxia, with a single market box office of 100 million US dollars, which also became the third market of "Interstellar" in the world with a box office exceeding 100 million.
Accidental?
The sense of existence has never been able to match Huaxia, Japan's comparable South Korean film market,Compared with a number of mature markets in Europe, it is not too recognizable,Although it has been able to explode feverishly when superhero movies are released, this is also the reason why Disney's Marvel movies always like to go to South Korea to promote,Excellent market return is undoubtedly the biggest reason;But purely in terms of box office figures,It still lacks explosive power,The small population is a big reason,And the total population is low,There is no way to give more support to movies and music like Japan is another big reason,In the final analysis,It is the inherent shortcomings of the market that limit South Korea's influence。
But this time, the Korean market has exploded with such a terrifying and terrifying energy, which is really eye-catching.
Not unexpected?
In fact, it can be regarded as expected. "Interstellar" The core of the theme is father-daughter affection, which is too sensational for North America and Europe, but has become a lot of slots, but for South Korea, it is just right, and it can even be said to be the appetite, such emotionally resonant works can always find a place in this market, and even cause a frenzy of movie-watching.
And so, the result is there!
"Interstellar" has made history in the Korean market! It has become the third overseas imported work in the history of Korean cinema to exceed 10 million viewers, and it is also the 14th work in the history of Korean cinema to exceed 10 million viewers, and finally it is the second overseas imported work in the history of Korean cinema with a box office data exceeding 100 million US dollars!
Because South Korea has a total population of about 50 million, the standard for measuring a movie is not the box office number, but the number of moviegoers. Generally speaking, the revenue benchmark point is 5 million people, which means that one in 10 people has seen this work, and all the works that can exceed 10 million viewers are works that go down in history, and an average of one in five people has seen this work, which is undoubtedly very appalling.
In 2003, "Sebi Island" became the first work in the history of Korean cinema to exceed 10 million viewers, and since then, more excellent works have appeared one after another, and before you know it, the works that can create such a feat have also reached double digits, but on the whole, they have begun to focus on Korean domestic films, and as for overseas films, only two works have reached such a feat, and there is no "Avengers" among them.
In 2009, "Avatar" achieved such a feat in the Korean market for the first time, which was also the overall box office champion in South Korea as of June 2014, then "Frozen" released in late 2013, and now "Interstellar".
In the end, the number of moviegoers of "Interstellar" in South Korea reached 12.27 million, ranking among the top 10 moviegoers in Korean film history, temporarily behind "Avatar", "Han River Monster", "League of Thieves", "Gift of Room 7", "Two-faced King" and "The King's Man", etc., ranking seventh!
Even though it was predicted in advance that "Interstellar" might create good results in South Korea, the final results were so good that they could even be called strong and strong, which still caused an exclamation, and also opened the prelude to the film's excellent performance in overseas markets.
The United Kingdom, France, Russia, Germany, Poland, Australia, Italy and Japan ranked third to tenth in overseas markets, respectively.
The unexpected rise of China and South Korea has overshadowed the British market, and it is almost disappearing from the global box office news reports, but in fact, the British box office of "Interstellar" is also very gratifying, and the box office data of 50 million US dollars is still particularly conspicuous, but the outbreak of competitors caught everyone off guard, and finally regrettably robbed all the light;
The outbreak of the Russian and Polish markets is also eye-catching, especially the latter, "Interstellar" won $20 million at the box office in the Polish market, which is the second Polish film in history to break the 20 million threshold at the box office, and the previous one is "Avatar", which is enough to prove the amazing extent of the box office.
Obviously, the different positioning of "Interstellar" in different markets has produced many variables and brought many surprises.
In addition to the above ten countries and regions, the total box office of Spain, China/Taiwan/Bay, Brazil, and Mexico also broke through the threshold of 10 million US dollars, and the big markets around the world have delivered an excellent answer, and the continuous strong performance has swept away the haze of worries in the early days of the premiere, which is the box office figure that really meets the expectations of "Blue Courtesy on Nolan".
After the North American market, the overseas market also outperformed the likes of "Maleficent", "Captain America 2" and "X-Men: Future Past", and "Interstellar" briefly topped the North American box office and global box office in 2014 before "Transformers 4" and many other strong competitors came on the scene.
In the end, "Interstellar" became the first overseas box office to break the $600 million threshold in 2014, reaching $672 million!
So far this year, the most outstanding overseas box office performance is "Sleeping Curse", 517 million US dollars, slightly ahead of "X-Men: Days of Future Reversal" less than 3 million US dollars, and the global box office figure of "Captain America 2", which holds the national box office and the global box office, can only rank third, and the lag behind the figure is nearly 50 million, the gap is relatively obvious;
This result easily surpassed the overseas box office results of "Inception" of $535 million and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rise" of $636 million, setting a new record for Nolan's directorial career, and also became the second-highest overseas box office work of Lan Li's personal career, surpassing "Edge of Tomorrow" and second only to "Gravity".
The global box office of "Interstellar" is hot: $1.127 billion.
"New York Times", "Blue Rite Hall Sets New Personal High, Third Global Billion!"
"Los Angeles Times", "The 20th Global Box Office Work in Film History!
"Variety", "In addition to superheroes, reality superstars are officially born: Lan Li Hall continues his brilliant career!"
"The Hollywood Reporter", "The second global billion-dollar box office work in seven months, who else but Marvel can achieve such power?"
"Chicago Tribune" Disney is creating the Marvel Universe, Warner Bros. is creating the DC Universe, Universal Pictures is creating the Dark Universe, Sony Columbia is creating the Spider-Man Universe, Twentieth Century Fox is creating the X-Men Universe, and Ranley Hall is creating the Rainy Universe. ”
"Empire", "belongs to the heyday of the Blue Rite!"
"The Times", "The Unbeatable Peak!"
"San Francisco Chronicle", "1127000000!
"US Weekly": "The Rise of Superstars! With three films with a global box office of one billion dollars in three years, Lan Li Hall has proved that he is the undoubted absolute superstar of our time! This is an era of the death of superstars, but it is also an era of the birth of superstars!"
All the media around the world exploded en masse, and all the major entertainment pages were full of reports that "Interstellar" had crossed a billion dollars at the global box office, and all of them mentioned Blue Rite, not to mention Nochrislav Lang, let alone a series of other top big names such as Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, etc., and it seemed that all the credit was given to Blue Rite
It's not fair, but it's also a reality!
But why? Why did the news media make such a blatant and biased mistake? The biggest possibility is: This is not a mistake, but a reality!
