"The results are out, the results are out~" Jonathan shouted with the latest box office report. 【】

"Who won?" Nolan, who was looking at the computer screen and concentrating on the final check, immediately jumped up when he heard the news.

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but scold in his heart, you are still pretending to be calm, more excited than me

"Do you need to ask?" Jonathan made a very helpless expression.

"How much did the premiere gross?" Nolan couldn't help but ask.

"27 million." Jonathan had a smiling expression.

"What? Only 27 million? Nolan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and when he said the word "cai", his tone was very pleasantly surprised.

Jonathan nodded: ""Sherlock Holmes" is a 25 million premiere box office, it can be said that the two are comparable, it seems that we are too high on James Cameron." With that, Jonathan continued to read the n press release with that:

Oscar-winning director James Cameron, known as the king of the world, honed his sword 12 years after "Titanic", the romantic sci-fi epic "Avatar" unveiled in 3,452 theaters in North America this weekend, with an average of about $21,150 per theater, and the $27 million on the day of the premiere only ranked 33rd in film history.

It is the ninth of the previous holiday season opening works, second only to the two "Twilight Zone", the three "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", "I Am Legend" and "007 Breaking Quantum of Solace".

At the same time, it is the third in the history of the works that opened in December, second only to "I Am Legend" and "The Lord of the Rings 3".

Obviously, this is a grinning and unsatisfying start. According to the analysis of our reporter, there are the following four points to explain the downturn in the premiere of this $500 million investment masterpiece.

The length of one 3 hours leads to a much lower number of films scheduled per day than other films in the same schedule;

Second, there are too many viewers who want to watch the 3D version, and there are too few 3D halls in North America, and the attitude of some die-hard fans is that they would rather wait than watch the 2D version first;

Christmas and New Year are approaching, and there will be plenty of time to watch movies in the next three weeks.

Fourth, the cold snap has hit North America recently, and the theater business and audience travel in the wind and snow area have been greatly reduced......"

After Jonathan finished reading this long paragraph, he smiled and said, "Look, this manuscript is really professionally written, this time James Cameron has planted it." ”

Nolan shook his head not so optimistically: "I don't think "Avatar" is as unbearable as we thought, at least it can get 200 million box office in North America and about 500 million in the world......"

Jonathan smiled: "Nolan~ This is not like you, how can you increase the morale of others~"

"I think it's far more than that......" Gu Xiaofan commented while looking at his phone at this time:

"The media score of this movie is very good, and the evaluation does not match the box office, I am afraid it will be the same as "Titanic", full of stamina......"

Jonathan frowned slightly: "Why are you two so afraid of James Cameron, I don't believe that this heroine is a blue-skinned alien film, which can live over 200 million ...... in North America."

Gu Xiaofan didn't speak, although the specific box office information of "Avatar" was erased in his mental system, countless news reviews have made this movie an "insurmountable box office miracle" and an epoch-making masterpiece that surpasses "Titanic". ”

This also means that the final box office of "Avatar" should surpass "Titanic" in history......

And the North American box office of "Titanic" is a record 600 million......

"What are you thinking?" Nolan asked when he saw that he looked different.

Gu Xiaofan smiled bitterly: "I'm thinking, we have to prepare for the North American box office of "Avatar" to exceed 600 million......"

"This can't be~" Before Nolan could speak, Jonathan smiled and waved his hand.

Nolan also felt that Gu Xiaofan was too worried, how could a movie that only ranked 33rd in film history on its premiere date counterattack the movie that topped the total box office list?

Gu Xiaofan didn't explain anything, he also hoped that he was wrong and that history had changed, so that they wouldn't have to face the strongest box office king in history...... he had already watched "Avatar" countless times in his mind...... It is indeed a great movie.

The next day, when Warner's executives got the box office report, they were all overjoyed, no one expected James Cameron's new work to be so unpopular with fans.

Allen, one of the producers of "Sherlock Holmes", is also infinitely beautiful, waving his fists at the meeting and proudly declaring:

"We want to use "Sherlock Holmes" to defeat "Avatar" and regain this year's box office title"

Abel Warner is also greatly relieved, if "Sherlock Holmes" can defeat "Avatar", then there will be nothing to do with "The Dark Knight", neither Fox nor the Chinese forces can shake their father and son's dominance in Warner.

But when Warner was jubilant and Fox was down, no one expected that things would gradually change.

"Avatar" won $27 million, $25.65 million, and $20.35 million respectively in three days of release, with a total box office score of about $73 million.

And the film premiered in three days around the world, plus the overseas box office has been as high as 2. $3.2 billion, second only to the latest two "Harry Potter", "Spider-Man 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: World's End", "Star Wars Prequel 3: Heath's Revenge", "Twilight 2: New Moon", "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", ranking ninth in film history.

In other words, "Avatar" has just set the record for the highest world premiere in film history for a "non-sequel film", narrowly beating "The Da Vinci Code" and "2012".

In the next few days, the film will be staged in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and other Hollywood overseas cities......

In contrast, "Sherlock Holmes" closely followed "Avatar" in North America for $65.38 million in 3 days, ranking among the top five films in film history that premiered in December, but it is far inferior to "Avatar" in terms of word-of-mouth.

What's more, its media rating is only 57 points of C, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes website is 69:94 votes in favor and 43 votes against.

This is far lower than the 83 points of Avatar Media Rating of "Avatar", Yahoo is A, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes website is 83: 165 votes for: 35 votes against.

As more and more people go to 3D theaters to see this great work, "Avatar", which was released for three days, gradually began to receive the final praise of the year, and countless film critics and media began to fall for this movie
