Chapter 862: Legend VS Legend
How many days will it take to break through 400 million? What kind of new record will "Night Knight" give us? Filmmakers are watching......
Well, on Monday and Tuesday, "The Dark Knight" continued to score 21.78 million and $20.97 million in North America, and the total box office directly exceeded 400 million, ending everyone's speculation. 【】
At this point, "Night Knight" has begun to reach the $500 million mark in North America, and even many people have begun to look at the "peak" of "Titanic" of $600 million.
At the same time, they are also approaching "Avatar", which has a North American box office of 4.2 billion, and have become the most favorable contenders for the hegemony of the North American box office in 2009.
On the other hand, at the global box office, "Avatar" has accumulated more than 1.3 billion US dollars, while "The Dark Knight" has an astonishing figure of 9.1 billion, but there is still a certain gap from the former, and it is closely behind.
So far, two top movies of different genres, one has been blessed by 3D, and the other has gained fan support due to the "shooting incident", and a stalemate epic box office battle has begun.
On January 17, the third week of the competition between the two movies, "Avatar" won 41.3 million/4. The $9.1 billion weekend/cumulative result is still impressive, and the global box office is striding towards $1.6 billion.
In terms of "The Dark Knight", it has exceeded 500 million in North America, officially pulling "Avatar" off the horse, and it has also exceeded 1.2 billion at the global box office, closely following "Avatar".
Counting the box office results of other overseas regions alone, the gap between "The Dark Knight" and "Avatar" is still very obvious, but in China, three weeks after its release, the film has contributed 900 million yuan to the box office of 200 million US dollars, beating the figure of 500 million yuan of "Avatar", resulting in a gradual reduction in the gap between the two.
In the next four weeks of the showdown, as of January 24, the North American box office of "Avatar" exceeded 553 million, and the global box office swept 1.85 billion US dollars...... Officially break the miracle of James Cameron's "Titanic" 13 years ago! Become the new global box office hegemon.
Now the sword edge of "Avatar" has pointed to the new threshold of the global box office of 2 billion~!
But at the same time, another record of "Titanic" has also been broken, "The Dark Knight" has accumulated whales in the North American market this week, with a total box office of 6.1 billion, and also broke the monopoly of the total box office of "Titanic" in North America for 13 years, and at the same time in the mainland market, after "The Dark Knight" won 1.2 billion yuan at the box office, the global box office also won 1.57 billion US dollars, only 300 million away from Avatar.
Filmmakers and fans all over the world have been watching in amazement as these two shocking masterpieces continue to refresh records.
Everyone watched their daily rise, and now there are hundreds of different types of movies being released at the same time around the world, but the other hundreds of movies are just a vague concept, completely ignored in the shadow of the two giants of "The Dark Knight" and "Avatar".
Even the Hollywood Big Six themselves were so scared that they hurriedly changed the schedule and postponed the strong film they were going to release in January, for fear that they would be crushed by these two supergiants as soon as it was released......
Paramount's "Lovely Bones", Warner Bros. "The Book of Ellie", Sony's "The Second Coming of Christ", Disney's "Tooth Fairy", "Rome Encounters", ...... Everyone was so frightened that they were more than a month late, and Warner Bros.'s own "Edge of Darkness" was postponed directly after the Oscars in March......
The distributors of Sony, Disney, Paramount, and Universal, all wanted to cry at the moment, so they could only slap the table at home and scold: "When are these two damn monsters going to be released!?" ”
As the two sides of the showdown, Time Warner and Fox are also extremely eager to win this final victory at this time, and Warner executives are looking forward to Gu Xiaofan every day for some critical illness notices, and even fall directly, so that they can win this box office war of the century beautifully.
However, the management of News Corp. and its Fox Company pray to God and Buddha every day, only hoping that Gu Xiaofan can miraculously wake up and make "The Dark Knight" lose the blessing of the tragic hero.
This made Gu Xiaofan, who was the center of the whirlpool, unable to be clean, because different people visited him almost every day, talking about various things in front of his bed.
UCLA Medical Center, the work of waking up Gu Xiaofan is being done from morning to night, sometimes it is Daddy Gu, Teacher Yan, sometimes it is Gao Yuanyuan, Chen Keer, Lou Yixiao, Qiao Annie, sometimes it is friends from all walks of life, and Liu Shishi has always been by his bedside......
The winter morning sun shines on people very warm and pleasant, in the spacious and elegant suite ward, Liu Shishi is helping Gu Xiaofan massage, her face is calm and firm, although the doctor told her that the longer the time Gu Xiaofan will wake up, the lower the chance of Gu Xiaofan waking up, but she always firmly believes that Gu Xiaofan will wake up.
While helping Gu Xiaofan massage, she said softly: "Gu Xiaoshu...... It's time for you to wake up, it's going to be an Oscar nomination soon, don't you want to hear in person that you were nominated for an acting award as the first Chinese actor? I don't want to be here in your place. ”
She gently squeezed his hand and whispered softly: "Yesterday, Uncle Gu asked me if we regretted coming to the United States, and I told him on your behalf; "We definitely don't regret it, even if we know what happened to you today, Gu Xiaofan will definitely come to the United States, because for him, it is better to die vigorously at the ......peak than to live a dull life."
But Liu Shishi's face darkened, and he bit his lip and said:
"But at that time, I thought in my heart, if I knew that you would be like this, I would rather not act, not be a star, and just live like this...... Look at you every day, watch you play cheap...... Look at you ordinary...... Just looking at you...... That's enough...... I don't want anything, Oscar, the number one actress in the world...... None of this matters, as long as you live and let me see you grow old......
I don't know why I had such a useless idea, but that's how I thought, how...... Gu Xiaoqing, I know you're laughing at me, you're laughing, you're laughing......"
Liu Shishi didn't say, while taking out a small bag, which was marbles, foreign paintings, toy Transformers, plastic soldiers and other gadgets, everything here was bought and played with together, she cleaned up neatly, and when she felt that time was slow, she would take it out and fiddle with it.
She didn't know if she could do this to allow herself to escape reality for a while, or if she longed for Gu Xiaofan to suddenly get up and play with her......
