"Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" is menacing and powerful.

Following the incomparably ferocious "Titanic" in 1998, which directly smashed the doors of countless markets around the world, "Jurassic Park" in 2002 once again directly crushed from the world with a realistic dinosaur image.

The film has achieved an astonishing box office in more than 150 countries and regions around the world, and in the end, although it is still a big cut compared to the global box office of "Titanic" of 1.92 billion US dollars, the box office of 1.23 billion US dollars is more than 200 million more than the global box office of "Star Wars Episode 4: A New Order" released in 1999 of 1.02 billion US dollars!

As a result, it was able to sit on the second place in the global box office charts!

Last year's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Invincible King" was once considered a promising prospect to surpass it, but in the end, even if that movie was an extreme success, harvesting the box office frantically around the world, and even the Chinese film market contributed more than 270 million Chinese yuan to it, but in the end, it only got $1.12 billion at the global box office, and failed to squeeze out "Jurassic Park".

To some extent, there is a consensus in the Hollywood industry that a billion dollars at the global box office is close to the limit of a blockbuster movie - the overall size of the market determines this limit.

Of course, there will be very few movies that break this limit, and there are even unreasonable giants like "Titanic", which directly swiped the global box office to nearly 2 billion US dollars, but the level of a pioneer and a masterpiece is really an unearthly level, not something you can make if you want to.

Therefore, the other three movies that currently exceed one billion dollars in the global box office list are recognized as phenomenal - 1.23 billion for "Jurassic Park", 1.12 billion for "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Invincible", and 1.02 billion for "Star Wars 4: A New Order"!

As long as they appear, it will be a miracle!

"The Lord of the Rings" is definitely over and there will be no sequel, but "Jurassic Park 2" and "Star Wars 5" are almost absolutely there!

As a result, as early as "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" had just been reported on various news reports such as the establishment of the project and the start of filming, almost all Hollywood studios and distribution companies were extremely consistent in labeling this movie: A+++ grade!

Meaning, definitely to avoid!

Although its second part has changed directors, and some people questioned the film's extremely thin plot at the pre-release theater preview meeting, it is still recognized as the level that any movie will be squeezed to death - as long as the dinosaurs are scary enough, it is enough!

Before its release, a number of professional box office evaluation agencies in North America had already given box office estimates of $350 million in North America and $850 million worldwide.

In fact, as soon as it was released, the film did quickly set off a worldwide movie-watching boom - the North American market sold more than $7 million in advance alone!

After the first part, it has been two years, and moviegoers around the world are eager to see dinosaurs.

So, in the first week of release, the movie quickly began to explode with the greatest box office bombing ability!

On Monday alone, it grossed a whopping $31.62 million in North America, including advance screenings — note that this is Monday, weekday box office.

However, it is quite surprising that "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", which has earned more than $30 million at the box office on weekdays, has not become the monopoly and dominance of the entire film market as everyone speculated in the past few weeks.

Because with the sudden popularity of "The Matrix" in the two days last weekend, even if the movie faced the impact of a blockbuster like "Jurassic Park", and even in order to welcome the release of "Jurassic Park", many theaters had to temporarily cut the schedule for "The Matrix", and instead gave "Jurassic Park" more canvas, but on this Monday, "The Matrix" actually bucked the trend and cut a whopping $17.33 million in the North American single-day box office in the third week of its release!

Mind you, this is of course the weekday box office too!

And the subsequent box office development trend also proves that although "Jurassic Park" is extremely powerful, so powerful that almost no movie is willing to meet it, but under its strong pressure, "The Matrix" is still extremely tenacious and always rushes against the trend even if the film schedule has been squeezed to a considerable extent!

On Tuesday, the single-day box office of "Jurassic Park 2" was 25.48 million, and "The Matrix" was 16.51 million!

On Wednesday, "Jurassic Park 2" 24.37 million, "The Matrix" 15.82 million!

Just these three days, that's enough!

Film production companies and distribution companies may still have times when they are dizzy, and they may not be able to resist the insistence of a certain director and invest in the production of a literary film that is likely to lose money, but the theater chain is a 100% commercial retail organization!

What can make money is a good movie!

Because of the release of "Jurassic Park 2", because of its highly anticipated expected box office, and its own identity as a giant, so, although at that time, the attendance rate of "The Matrix" was still quite high, the major theaters still adjusted the film schedule in unison, and took out a considerable number of films that originally belonged to "The Matrix" and gave "Jurassic Park 2" - as for other movies that originally had limited attendance, it is needless to say that they can get the treatment at this time.

However, "Jurassic Park 2" is indeed fierce enough, but it doesn't seem to be as fierce as expected - it was released in the first week, and it got a whopping 3756 opening results in North America, and in the first three days, it got a whopping 43.5% of the film schedule in the entire North American region!

In North America, where the movie theater chain and the commercial box office system of movies are relatively perfect, this has almost reached the pinnacle of the film scheduling level! No matter how high it is, it will violate many agreements in the industry.

Compared with "Jurassic Park 2", "The Matrix", which is also in theaters, only got a 17% film scheduling rate - there is no doubt that the reason why the theater chain and screening system in North America are considered relatively perfect is precisely because here, even the most popular movies cannot get more than half of the film scheduling rate, even if it is a literary film with an average box office, they will have multiple professional art theaters to broadcast.

In fact, in the first three days of this week, the two films teamed up to get more than 60% of the total number of films in the entire North American region, and more than 80% of the box office, which is already a relatively rare situation!

And all theater operators can expect that by this weekend, the first weekend of "Jurassic Park 2", the box office of this movie will definitely usher in a wave of explosions.

But...... Let's talk about it at that time!

And what everyone has to do now is to cut the schedule for "Jurassic Park 2"!

There is no doubt that the attendance rate of "Jurassic Park 2" is good enough to make the theater party happy, but at this time, the key is that there is still a "Matrix" to compete with!

Given you more than 43% of the film schedule, your single-day box office has dropped to more than $22 million, and the film schedule is only 17%, which is only one-third of your slightly stronger "The Matrix", although the single-day box office is also declining, until Wednesday, there are still close to 16 million!

This data is specific, according to the final statistics of major theaters, when it comes to Wednesday, the average result of tens of thousands of screenings in North America, the attendance rate of "Jurassic Park 2" is 27.4%, which is enough on weekdays, but on the contrary, the attendance rate of "The Matrix" is as high as 52.9%!

How does this compare?

Cinema operators are pure businessmen, and three days of observation are enough.

To put it bluntly, in fact, the next two days are redundant in their opinion, all because the name of "Jurassic Park" is too big, big enough to arouse the greed and expectation of all theaters with its name!

But now, on Wednesday, as soon as the statistics came out, the experienced major theaters in North America immediately made corresponding adjustments - no matter how big the face of the "Jurassic Park" series is, it will come to this point, and it will obviously delay the theater to make money, and it is impossible to continue to give face!

So, when it comes to Thursday, many viewers who don't care about which movie to watch walk into the cinema will find that it seems that when they came yesterday, the movie "The Matrix" had only three or four screenings scheduled in a small cinema in this community, but today there were actually six screenings scheduled throughout the day!

So well, there are more shows to choose from, and I originally thought it was an audience who could watch it without watching it, but now I find that the time is no problem, so as not to delay my original other arrangements, then watch it, after all, this movie seems to have a very good word-of-mouth evaluation recently, and it seems to have won the box office list for two weeks in a row, and some friends have warmly recommended it, it is estimated that it should be very good!

Thereupon...... If there are more shows, of course more tickets will be sold!

On Thursday, the schedule of "The Matrix" bucked the trend, winning a full 26% of the schedule in North America, rebounding to the almost highest peak since its release!

In contrast, the schedule of "Jurassic Park 2" fell in response to the sound, coming to 36%!

Subsequently, when the single-day box office of this day was released, the theater operators laughed.

With the increase in film scheduling, there has been a certain diversion of the audience for a single show, making the attendance rate of "The Matrix" not as fierce as the previous three days, but it still remains at a high level of 37%!

So, on Thursday, "Jurassic Park 2" reported $22.92 million, a steady decline compared to yesterday's box office, and "The Matrix" suddenly came with a small wave of growth with the increase in film schedules, and a single day revenue of $16.82 million!

Excluding other films, and counting only the revenue that these two blockbusters brought to the North American cinema chain, Thursday was just under a million dollars lower than Wednesday!

Except for Universal Pictures, the distributor of "Jurassic Park 2", this is simply a joy for everyone!

Of course, even Universal Movies can in fact announce that the North American box office of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" has exceeded 100 million after the screening of this day!

So, although after coming to Friday, some theaters have made a wave of fine-tuning of the film schedule, but basically maintain this film schedule, and everyone came to the weekend together.

And because of the advent of "Jurassic Park 2", this week, even if the film market is developed and perfected to the extent that the North American market is so developed, there are only a few small-budget literary films and independent films released on a very small scale, except for "Jurassic Park 2", there is not even a decent commercial blockbuster.

It's just that it was expected that "Jurassic Park 2" should have swept everything in the exclusive market, but now, it has encountered a hard-hitting diverter!

With the end of the working day, on Friday afternoons and evenings, the movie theater suddenly began to become lively - the reason why the summer file has become a box office heavy, the student party is of course the great contribution, but it is undeniable that even in the summer file, the box office of the three days on the weekend will still account for more than half of the box office of the whole week!

Because the economic strength of the white-collar workers is there, the box office they can contribute will always exceed that of the student party!

On Friday, "Jurassic Park 2" reported $32.46 million at the single-day box office, and "The Matrix" reported $23.2 million at the single-day box office!

On Saturday, "Jurassic Park 2" was $41.35 million in a single day, and "The Matrix" was $29.58 million!

On Sunday, "Jurassic Park 2" is $32.83 million and "The Matrix" is $28.81 million!

In the first week of its release, the box office in North America exceeded $200 million, reaching $211.03 million, and the global box office in the first week was as high as $450 million!

That's an amazing statistic!

This data far surpasses the first part of its predecessor "Jurassic Park", and it also gets rid of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Invincible King", which is only slightly weaker than the epoch-making masterpiece "Titanic" - if you only look at this first-week data and speculate its final box office according to the law, it is even enough to conclude that the final global box office of this movie will exceed 1.5 billion, or even reach 1.8 billion!

However, under such first-week box office data, many box office forecasting agencies in North America have given general box office forecasts - everyone predicts that the North American box office of this film may exceed 400 million US dollars, but it is difficult to exceed 450 million, as for the global box office, several major forecasting agencies have believed that it can be moderately adjusted from the original expectation of 850 million US dollars to 900 million US dollars.

Because of the word-of-mouth evaluation of this movie on the Internet, it is really bad!
