This is a commercial film, a pure special effects blockbuster commercial film, the reputation of film critics is negligible, and of course the major box office prediction agencies will not consider these, but the audience's score and reputation have a decisive influence on the subsequent box office development!

In fact, since the movie was first released, it has begun to be full of various complaints about it on the Internet - such as "scary for the sake of scary, in fact, it's not scary at all", such as "the plot is so thin that there is almost no story", and comments such as "the continuation of the dog's tail mink" are all over the screen!

In this case, in such a mature North American market, those box office evaluation agencies have to evaluate the box office trend of thousands of movies every year, and have evaluated for more than ten years or even decades, and they are extremely sensitive to changes in the box office trend!

In this regard, Universal Films and the film's directors are dismissive of this assessment, regardless of what they think in their hearts, at least in the face of the media, they still agree that the ultimate goal of the film is to reach and exceed the 1.23 billion of the first part of the global box office!

Saliva flies!

All kinds of mouths, you come and go!

But even so, "The Matrix", which actually got a box office of $148.07 million in the third week of its release, and Zhou Baoshan, who is becoming popular in North America, have not been ignored and forgotten by the media.

Because they have set or are in the process of setting a new record-

The highest third-week box office in North American history, "The Matrix"!

The highest-grossing overseas film in the history of the North American box office, "The Matrix"!

The most box office appeal oriental actor in North America, Zhou Baoshan!

And at the same time, there is a new record, which has been repeatedly mentioned by major media in North America and hyped up. That is, in the past week, "Jurassic Park 2" teamed up with "The Matrix", and the collision of the two blockbusters at the same time brought a new record of the weekly box office market to North America!

In the past week, 57 films were screened simultaneously in North America, generating a total of $458.33 million at the box office!

Of course, the Chinese media at the same time was not idle, because the global box office battle between "The Matrix" and "Jurassic Park 2", China is also one of the main battlefields.

Under such a fierce collision, in the past week, Chinese films also set a new historical record for the highest weekly box office - in May 2002, because of the box office war between "The Door of Life and Death" and "Once Upon a Time", this record was once considered to be estimated that no one could break it in the short term. But just over two years later, "The Matrix" vs. "Jurassic Park 2" successfully raised this record of more than 300 million in a single day to 54 million at once!

…………

"The Matrix" was released for three weeks, a total of 16 days, and the total box office has reached $297.23 million!

At this time, taking into account the film's reputation among audiences in North America and its unrivaled advantages in China and the East Asian market, a number of box office forecasting agencies in North America have greatly adjusted their final global box office estimates for this film-

The box office in China, they are expected to fall above $500 million!

North American box office, they are also expected to exceed $400 million!

As for the global box office estimate of "The Matrix", the figure they gave was - $1.3 billion!

The release of this data immediately triggered a spontaneous discussion within the American film industry - no one would believe, or be willing to believe, that a Chinese film could get such a high global box office!

You must know that once successful, "The Matrix" will likely become the second highest-grossing film in the history of global cinema! Previously, the best result of Chinese films on this high-grossing list was 27th!

In 2002, China's Qin Wei and his "The Gate of Life and Death" once stayed in this position for just 35 days with a global box office score of 354 million US dollars, and then fell all the way down, and today, it has fallen out of the top 50!

In fact, everyone is hesitant about whether China's film market is capable enough to carry a film with a domestic box office of more than 500 million US dollars, that is, 1 billion Chinese yuan!

Because even in recent years, China's film market seems to have been growing rapidly, but for such a country where the people do not regard watching movies as normal consumption, the rise of the market and the absorption capacity of a single film at the box office have a certain limit!

But the problem is that three weeks after its release, in fact, although "The Matrix" lost its weekly box office list under the strong impact of "Jurassic Park 2" in the past week, even in its home base China, but three weeks after its release, the total box office of this movie has reached a high of 647 million Chinese yuan - breaking 1 billion, in fact, it is really possible! Even many domestic media in China believe that this movie is fully capable of hitting a higher box office!

But those who don't believe just don't believe!

It has to be that it has to happen, and you put the data in front of him, so he has to shut up!

There are even cases where even if everything has already happened, there will be people who continue to shout, saying that this is impossible, that this is fake, that someone is cheating...... Wait a minute!

Of course, there are few such people after all.

In fact, when the time came to the middle of the next week, after seeing the box office of "The Matrix" in its fourth week of release, many people had to shut up.

When the box office came out this week, something that shocked the entire Hollywood and even the entire world film industry was unbelievably presented-

The box office of "Jurassic Park 2" in the second week showed an astonishing decline!

This movie doesn't seem to take a single step, and it will do something scary!

More than 210 million in the first week, although it is a little scary, but considering that it is so huge, it can barely accept it, but the box office directly dived to only 65.22 million the next week, what the hell is this?

The word diving is no longer enough to describe how quickly it has fallen at the box office, and it is not even enough to cut it in half - it is simply less than a third of last week's left!

In the North American film market, because of the developed market and perfect market mechanism, there are new movies released almost every day of the year, and in the peak season of the film market, there are new commercial blockbusters released almost every week, and the audience's choices are incomparably richer than in China.

Therefore, a normal commercial blockbuster, if the reputation is not particularly good, the box office dives the next week, or even halved, which is completely acceptable to everyone, if the decline can be less than 30%, it will definitely be a hit movie that will continue to sell well in the future!

But there are other things, of course.

For example, there are many movies with huge investment, famous directors, big names, and bright stars, and when they are released, they are also huge, but its reputation is too bad, and there are almost no highlights, such a movie, you don't have to wait for a week, often the second day of release, it is already overwhelming bad reviews, so it can't even burst out at the box office in the first week, and it naturally doesn't matter if you dive or not in the next week.

There are some more, but they also suck, but it's obvious!

In the case of its gold-absorbing ability with special blessings, although the reputation is very bad, there will still be many people who think: no matter what, you have to go and see before drawing conclusions, right?

The most typical example, like Star Wars!

Although this series of movies has filmed the fourth part of the series and is a big hit at the box office, whether in the United States or around the world, the reputation is so bad, but there is no doubt that after a few years, as long as the producer continues to shoot the fifth part, when it is released, there will still be countless fans who buy tickets to enter the theater!

It's all too obvious: the Star Wars series!

On the contrary, the United States already has a so-called Star Wars culture that is unique in the world!

There is almost no solution to this.

Now it seems that Jurassic Park 2 seems to be the same.

There are dinosaurs, for many viewers, this highlight is already impossible to ignore, even if he has seen a lot of bad reviews in advance, for the sake of dinosaurs, he finally bought a ticket to go to see it, and after watching it, he came out, despite all kinds of scolding and dissatisfaction, but it is still impossible to recover the ticket money!

As for those who are willing to pay for a ticket to go to the cinema for the second time just for the sake of dinosaurs...... It is impossible to have nothing at all, however, too little.

As a result, the box office of "Jurassic Park 2" exploded in the first week to be terrifying! But in the second week, when the moviegoers who loved dinosaurs so much that they would go to see them even for dinosaurs were consumed, its box office quickly withered!

But you must know that since the release of "The Matrix", its reputation has always been so good that it has exploded!

And Zhou Baoshan has recently participated in various activities in North America, which has attracted the attention of countless people.

Not to mention, this movie has aroused the desire of many deep fans to explore because of its inner philosophical thinking, so there are even a small number of viewers in North America who have even gone to watch this movie several times in the past period of time!

And when the heroine He Yingyu, who was originally promoting in Southeast Asia and China, came to the United States and officially joined Zhou Baoshan, she immediately attracted a considerable number of fans who were quite interested in the heroine's sexy figure.

In short, all kinds of combinations go down, although the box office decline is a trend, and no one is powerless to change it, but "The Matrix" just stubbornly carried the fact that it had come to the fourth week of release, and actually cut the weekly box office of up to $83.27 million again in this week!

It's back at the top of the box office charts!

Everyone was amazed.
