886 is invincible

Recommended song: Ed. Shoot Eran - Sunburn

As mentioned earlier, when "Inception" was released, it was the third week of the release of "Lunar Eclipse", and "Inception" had to face the follow-up pressure of movies such as "Toy Story", "Lunar Eclipse", and "Despicable Me", which were enthusiastically sought after in the early stage, and at the same time faced competition from "The Wizard's Apprentice", which was released on the same day, and then had to meet the challenges of "Agent Sauter", "Cats and Dogs 2", and "Dance My Life 3D". The summer file is really a group of champions, and the competition is fierce.

Among the opponents, there are big names such as Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie, as well as sequels and remakes of "Cats and Dogs 2" and "Dance My Life 3D", which have received numerous acclaims. First, it is not a remake, and second, it is not a sequel, "Inception" Yali is very large. And Warner Bros.'s investment of 160 million is approaching 30 million in publicity expenses, which makes the investment of "Inception" close to 200 million US dollars, so the box office of the movie has also become the focus of media attention.

On Friday, July 16, at 12 o'clock in the morning, "Inception" premiered simultaneously around the world. A total of 3,800 theaters in North America broadcast "Inception", although compared to the previous "Lunar Eclipse", which set a record for the number of theaters that premiered, the gap is still quite large, but in terms of box office results, "Inception" is not inferior at all.

At midnight when it premiered at 0:00, "Inception" swept $25 million, which is far from the midnight record of "Lunar Eclipse", but it also ranks third in the box office history of Midnight in North America after "Lunar Eclipse" and "New Moon", and the results are gratifying. On the day of its premiere, "Inception" swept $72 million at the box office, trailing only "Toy Story 3", "Shrek 4" and "Lunar Eclipse" in 2010.

This premiere result is undoubtedly the first in the history of the two categories of works with the theme of "mental manipulation" and "epic crime", and it is only a matter of time before the current champions of the two categories, "Vanilla Sky", which is 100 million US dollars, and "Infernal Affairs", which are currently champions in both categories, at the box office. The same "difficult sci-fi", many people think of another blockbuster released in July, "I, Robot", which was led by Will Smith, the "Emperor" of the game, and did not make too much success at the box office. This time, "Inception" is on the same science fiction theme, completely suppressing Will Smith's classic released in 2004, and Lee Joon-yi's ability to defeat Will Smith, who has always been praised for his box office appeal in Hollywood, is enough to make people amazing.

Everyone knows that science fiction movies are difficult at the box office, so in the previous box office predictions, professional film critics, including Warner Bros. itself, have predicted that the box office for the North American premiere of "Inception" is around $30 million, which is gratifying if it is higher than this. In fact, the explosion of $72 million in energy from "Inception" was much higher than predicted, which caused an uproar in the media, and everyone thought that the impatient fans gathered on Friday's opening day, coupled with Lee Joon-yi's extremely strong fan team, created this incredible achievement. Then, Saturday and Sunday's results are bound to drop sharply.

Then, as it turned out, all the professionals were blindsided, and it should be said that they had misestimated the appeal of Christopher Nolan and Lee Joon-yi.

Saturday's box office was basically the same as the premiere day, and the decline on Sunday was less than 20%, and the cumulative box office in the first week actually exceeded 190 million US dollars, although this result was the same as the box office of the first week of "Lunar Eclipse", but the first week of "Lunar Eclipse" had five days, and "Inception" created this result in the first three days, surpassing "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" and becoming the most outstanding first-week box office movie in North American film history.

With $190 million, it's hard to imagine that Warner Bros. recouped its investment in the first week. This is not a movie with an investment of only tens of millions in the "Twilight" series, a large-scale production with an investment of nearly 200 million, and it is not easy to recoup the investment in the first week. When "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" set a first-week box office record of 164 million, it amazed many people. And today, "Inception" not only broke this record, but also broke this record with an absolute advantage, and even approached the box office of 200 million.

There is no doubt that "Inception" will become the fastest record writer in the history of the North American box office to break through the box office of 100 million and 200 million. With this historic result, "Inception" undoubtedly won the top spot at the North American box office this week. It is worth mentioning that "Inception" was the simultaneous world premiere, and at the same time achieved the top box office chart of the week in 128 countries, which can be regarded as a record. Among them, China, Japan, South Korea, as well as Italy, Britain and France, have achieved very good results at the box office, allowing Warner Bros. to recover its costs and make a profit in the first week, and the celebration banquet was held on Sunday night.

Under the sweeping trend of "Inception", whether it is last week's champion "Despicable Me", or "The Wizard's Apprentice" released this week, as well as "Lunar Eclipse" and "Toy Story 3", which were previously dominant at the box office, they cannot pose any threat to "Inception".

In the following second week, "Inception" faced no challenges, once again topping the North American box office charts with $80 million, and in the third week, it continued to win three consecutive titles. Three weeks later, Inception's cumulative box office had surpassed $300 million to $320 million. After only three weeks of release, "Inception" managed to take the fourth place, behind "Toy Story 3", "Lunar Eclipse", and "Alice in Wonderland". Of course, it has only been released for three weeks, and the word of mouth is still hot, and the box office certainly has a great future for development.

"Inception" stayed at the top of the North American box office charts for a total of four weeks, and the box office performance soared, and by the time Warner Bros. held its fourth celebration banquet, "Inception" had already exceeded $450 million, undoubtedly beating "Toy Story 3" and "Alice in Wonderland" to become the box office champion so far in 2010.

It can be said that the box office performance of "Inception" in North America is completely unbeatable and invincible. In the end, the box office performance of "Inception" was fixed at $510 million, making it Lee Joon-yi's best grossing film in North America. What's more, this box office result occupies the third place in the North American all-time box office list, with the champions and runners-up being "Avatar" and "Titanic" respectively, and the long list after "Inception" does not need to be counted. The third place in the North American all-time box office charts, this result is really too strong and shocking.

Of course, 2010 is only halfway through now, and there are still movies such as "Harry Potter and the Holy Grail of Death" to be released in the second half of the year. But there's no doubt that Warner Bros. can already celebrate ahead of time as they win the summer slot for the fourth year in a row. And a series of records in "Inception" are enough to make them ecstatic.

Looking at the world, the premiere of "Inception" in the world has won countless praises, and it has also continued to be invincible in North America in terms of box office results, setting off an invincible "Inception" trend around the world. I have to admit that the effect of the "Inception flash mob campaign" before NO.1 was amazing, which made Warner Bros. save a lot of effort on the promotion of the movie around the world.

"Inception" not only won the box office chart for a week in more than 130 countries, but also won the box office chart for three consecutive weeks in more than 35 countries in Asia, Europe, South America, etc., which shows the strength of the movie.

So far this year, although there has not been a box office giant like "Avatar", "Toy Story 3" and "Alice in Wonderland" have exceeded $1 billion at the global box office, ranking fifth and sixth respectively in the global box office history list. In this trend of breaking one billion box office, "Inception" can continue the strength of North America and become the third film to exceed one billion dollars at the box office this year, and it is also the focus of media attention.

"Inception" did not disappoint Warner Bros. and the media, it should be said that the fans did not disappoint Lee Joon-yi and Christopher Nolan. Excluding North America, "Inception" swept $660 million worldwide, which was not as good as the overseas results of "Toy Story 3" and "Alice in Wonderland", but the cumulative box office worldwide, "Inception" However, with $1.17 billion, it became the third film to break one billion at the global box office, and it also surpassed two films to become the champion of the global box office list in 2010 so far, and occupied the fifth place in the global box office history list.

This is Lee Joon-yi's first film to grossing more than $1 billion, and it also broke the box office record set for Lee Joon-yi by "Lunar Eclipse" a few weeks ago. At present, it seems that Lee Joon-yi is almost competing with himself, constantly refreshing his new records at the box office and word of mouth, as if he has a tendency to become the first actor in the world.

In terms of the calculation of the revenue ratio, "Inception" has invested 190 million US dollars, which is the highest investment among Lee Joon-yi's current works, and the global box office is 1.17 billion US dollars, with an income ratio of 620%, which is also more than six times the profit, which still makes all film companies red. This Li Zhunyi is completely a moving cash cow!

Regardless of the box office rankings for the whole of 2010, Lee Joon-yi proved that his sweep in 2009 was not accidental after entering July, with the two films "Lunar Eclipse" and "Inception", and this year, he Lee Joon-yi is bound to occupy a place on the year-end list.
