When the time comes to December, Hollywood's Christmas schedule is coming as scheduled, and unlike the summer season when there are many blockbusters, when Christmas is approaching, major film companies are accustomed to launching warm feature films, as well as animated films suitable for all ages. 【】

On the weekend of December 11, Disney's animated masterpiece "The Princess and the Frog" finally landed in more than 3,200 theaters in North America.

Although the results of the opening three days of the opening were only 25 million US dollars, Disney's 2D animation resentment won the box office championship.

Another new film produced by Warner, "Unconquerable", is also in 2,125 theaters, earning about $9.09 million, and entered the list as a tanhua.

In fact, the performance of these two new films this week was not satisfactory, and they were both about $5 million less than the expected figures.

Led by the "box office queen" Sandra Bullock, Warner's warm masterpiece "Weakness", after winning 150 million yuan, also began to weaken, and only got 15 million in three days.

In addition, on the three-day list over the weekend, the king of the Christmas schedule "Twilight 2", although it won an amazing box office result of nearly 300 million US dollars, but it lacked stamina, and only won 8 million US dollars on the third day, which obviously has not much potential to be tapped.

Until Sunday, the sum of the top 12 in the single-day box office list fell by more than 2 percentage points for four consecutive weeks, and the market totaled more than $89 million for the whole day.

The situation in the broader market is not the same as that of 2007 or 2005 when "I Am a Legend" or "The Legend of Narnia" was in power......

The overall box office downturn has made Hollywood's theaters feel that they can't lift their spirits.

Of course, these movies are just appetizers for this year's Christmas file, you know, there are still several trump cards in the year-long war between Warner and Fox.

Next week, the box office monster "Avatar," which scares all competitors, will hit theaters, and Warner will send popular actor Robert Downey Jr.'s "Sherlock Holmes" to face it head-on.

A week later, on Christmas Eve weekend, Twentieth Century Fox is also playing their last animated film card of the year, "Alvin and the Chipmunk 2", and the next week, "The Dark Knight" produced by Black Feather Studios will debut on December 31, the finale of Chinese New Year's Eve.

At that time, it is likely that the top five box office will be occupied by these two major film groups, and the competition between the two parties will also become white-hot.

And the people of the United States suddenly found that in the two weeks before Christmas, advertisements for several movies appeared everywhere, turning on the TV, and between football games, chipmunks were singing and dancing, promoting "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2".

And on the highway from Illinois to Maryland, you can see huge billboards along the way, and the original NBA star James endorsement Nike sneaker ad on the billboard has been replaced with the handsome face of the new movie version of Sherlock Holmes Robert Downey Jr.

In the urban areas of Los Angeles, New York and other major cities, on the platform of any bus station, there is a poster of a blue-skinned avatar running through the woods, and these advertisements are reminding people of the news that James Cameron's ten-year masterpiece "Avatar" is about to be released.

A few days later, people all over the United States began to prepare for Christmas supplies, buy Christmas trees, and start thinking about what kind of Christmas gifts to buy for their children.

In the squares in front of various large shopping malls in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas, actors wearing Batman armor suddenly appeared, performing various action performances, and everyone was surprised to see Batman's new chariot galloping through the streets, both children and adults were shocked to see it.

The all-black, transformer-like, gothic and sci-fi style combination of the Batchariot amazed everyone who saw it.

It's an outdoor campaign produced by Black Feather Studios in collaboration with DC Comics, and they have the street actors put together a small stage show to remind everyone of the new Batman equipment from The Dark Knight.

And the new version of the Batman chariot that can be transformed is also from the hands of Gu Xiaofan, a genius filmmaker.

At the beginning, Nolan and the designers of the props team were extremely surprised when they saw the new Batman chariot and folding motorcycle designed by Gu Xiaofan, because no one in China knew how to make these sci-fi props, but Gu Xiaofan made amazing works of art.

The science fiction products in these movies appear in the realization, and of course, it also makes fans and the public crazy.

After these large-scale publicity in the early stage, coupled with the huge controversy caused by Gu Xiaofan's clown, although the "Dark Knight" movie has not yet been released, it has gained unprecedented momentum, and it is the only movie that can compete with the momentum of "Avatar".

The new Batman armor developed by Black Feather Studios and DC Comics was the first to be available for pre-order, and a one-to-one luxury toy priced at $2,980 received orders from 51,890 Batman fans in just five days.

In this atmosphere, many Americans are vaguely feeling a lot of unusual atmosphere on this Christmas Eve, this yellow-skinned "Joker", a controversial villain who issued an Oscar acting declaration, what kind of movie will "The Dark Knight" bring?

After the little devil in "Game of Thrones", Gu Xiaofan has gradually been recognized as an actor, but he is still far from being as good as those superstars who appeared in the Christmas schedule.

There are a lot of people who like him, but there are even more people who hate him, but whether it is scolding or boasting, you can't ignore this young man who has the courage to challenge the rules of the entire Hollywood, even if you don't care about the movie at all, "Villain Gu Xiaofan" is also a hot topic that you can't avoid.

In such a highly anticipated atmosphere, on December 18th, the box office battle between Fox and Warner both presented their own Christmas trump card movies, "Avatar" and "Sherlock Holmes" were released on the same day, and a head-to-head showdown began.

The matchup between the two on this day made the fans' blood boil, and at the same time, the executives of News Corp. and Warner both felt breathless, and the pressure on their chests was so huge that it was suffocating.

For both Fox and Warners, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Gu Xiaofan, who had finished the filming task, was in the editing room, watching Nolan do the final editing of "The Dark Knight", while waiting for the results to come out.

The results of the competitor's "Avatar" directly determine the fate of their "Dark Knight".

"Why don't you go to the cinema?" Nolan didn't understand his behavior very much, and he couldn't sleep with concern, why didn't he go to the theater to watch it himself?

"There are too many people......" Gu Xiaofan thought for a long time, and held back a reason, he really didn't know how to explain it, there was a giant screen in his mind that was bigger than the world's largest IMAX, and it was high-definition......

And they waited until 2 a.m. for Jonathan to rush over with a long report
