Chapter 437: Sweeping the world, 500 million box office
"My dear, I'm already in Japan, do you want any gifts, I'll buy you back." As soon as the tour propaganda arrived in Japan, Chen Tiandu called Kate on time. This is also the result of the recent warming of the relationship between the two, and most of them will not fight before.
Compared to the courtesy that the film received in Japan, it is a world of difference from the previous World War I in France.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not very good in France, this country's artistic taste is very unique, if Chen Tiandu is willing to add a vigorous desert island love scene to the movie, it is guaranteed that the evaluation will soar immediately.
Japan is different, several successive blockbuster productions have made Chen Tiandu brand effect in this country. In addition, he comes to Japan almost every year, and he has cultivated a large number of fans. At the same time, there are also wonderful movies such as "Legal Heroes" and "**" launched by Matrix Japan Company one after another, and the live-action version of "Rogue Kenshin" that is being filmed is also highly anticipated. For a variety of reasons, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become popular in Japan.
Everywhere he goes, surrounded by crowds of people, Chen Tiandu is now accustomed to it. He's on his way to Haruka Ayase's little nest right now, making a phone call in the car.
Kate was pleased, "Let me think about it, then buy me a few kimonos and come back, I haven't worn this strange dress yet." ”
"Kimono? Do you wear? Chen Tiandu didn't know how to admonish, "Don't be kidding, you have a big belly in front and a big backpack in the back, can you stand it?" Except for Japanese women, I don't think European and American women wear kimonos in any way. ”
Kate was immediately discouraged, she was probably wearing this at home, and who was she going to admire. I had to say, "Then I want wooden slippers." The rest or something. Forget it. My dear. Don't work too hard. ”
“ok。” Chen Tiandu smiled, "Let me talk to the children and hear if they can snore." ”
Kate looked embarrassed, "Don't make a fuss, my belly has just bulged a little, it's only the size of a volleyball, it's still early." After a while of coaxing the child's father, the call ended.
……
"Just got back from the Osaka Cinema. Captain Jack is so handsome, the special effects of the movie have met or even exceeded my expectations, and the story is even more incredible, worthy of a movie that Oda greatly participated in the screenplay. I feel like it's the best movie I've ever seen, and it's worth a big buck to see it. ”
"Not to be missed by all fans who love One Piece. Although the plot of 'Castle in the Sky' may not be seen until the next installment, Captain Jack is not Luffy's type, but he is just as attractive. The biggest difference between live-action movies and animated films is that they are more shocking. Captain Jack didn't eat the Devil Fruit, and he had the ability to communicate with dolphins, turtles, and even bewitched the dragon Gregory in the end. At the end of the film, a giant dragon is ridden against the British army. Absolutely blind your eyeballs. What are you waiting for, hurry up and buy tickets. ”
Slightly later than in North America. Pirates of the Caribbean is now expanding around the world.
It has landed on the big screen of most theaters around the world, and it is being screened one after another every day, so it is natural that more and more global movie fans and audiences are sharing their viewing experiences on the Internet.
Another card that is the main card of Japanese propaganda is Eiichiro Oda, the original creator of "One Piece".
Today's One Piece has been serialized in Japan for seven years, and the fans it has cultivated are almost all over the country. During the same period, only Naruto fans could match. But they can only make a 2D animated theatrical movie, and the live-action version of "One Piece" is difficult to achieve, and they are not confident that the live-action version can still be liked by fans. In this case, Hollywood blockbusters with the same pirate theme hit hard, and Oda himself participated in the screenwriting, which just met the urgent needs of fans.
The consequence of this popularity is that "Pirates of the Caribbean" mobilized 1.58 million people in 686 theaters in Japan in three days in the first weekend of its release in Japan, and the box office revenue was 2,428,563,560 yen, setting a new record for the highest opening of the year in Japan, and also setting a record for the highest box office in Japanese history for three days after deducting the first release in Japan. It surpassed the previous record for the highest box office premiere in Japan (the first day and the next day, 2 days, including the first release box office) of "The Matrix 3", which held 22,854,550 yen.
In other words, Chen Tiandu not only broke his own record in the United States, but also broke the historical record twice in Japan in a row.
A few days ago, the Japanese were still "elated" and "gloating" about Chen Tiandu's two Hollywood opening records, but they didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, this honor came to them again. As for Japanese filmmakers, I don't know whether to cry or laugh. Fortunately, their receptivity is stronger than that of the Americans, "Anyway, it is not once or twice that the record is broken, I have long been used to it." ”
All the "Pirates of the Caribbean" promotional lineup is very pleasant, there is no box office pressure, and the right to travel along the way, enjoy the food, the beautiful scenery along the way, not to mention how comfortable it is.
The box office for the third weekend of release was released fresh today. This week, Pirates of the Caribbean faces competition from two new films.
In the end, Miramax's children's film "Agent Prodigy 3D: Game Over" topped the North American box office charts in a fierce derby this weekend, beating "Tomb Raider 2" and "Pentium Age", which is in high demand for the Oscar.
Since 2001, the Kortez detective family series has generated $230.8 million in revenue for Miramax's Timon Pictures in a trilogy. In the latest episode of the saga, Cortez's two Agent Boys swim in a 3D video game to capture the villain played by Sylvester Stallone who is trying to destroy the entire world.
Beginning on July 25, it quickly achieved $32.5 million in box office sales in North America in just three days, which also proved a truth, "Don't ignore the energy of children during the summer vacation." ”
Chen Tiandu also paid a lot of attention to this movie, because it was a 3D production. 3D technology is still a new thing in the current market. on this. On the one hand, parents want to see it because they haven't experienced it for a long time. On the other hand, they also want their children to experience it for themselves.
Of course. And that's just for this film.
You've launched what you've set your sights on, and the audience has had a memorable experience, then you've built your brand for yourself.
In Chen Tiandu's opinion, the 3D technology of this movie is far from mature enough. At most, it is just for children to wear glasses and live the addiction of watching movies with glasses. But he began to pay attention to 3D movies, and he knew the future well, and this was the mainstream of the future.
ranked second, and it is not the sequel to the last "Tomb Raider" that broke into the name of Nuo. It's "Pirates of the Caribbean". is only a few million less than "Agent Prodigy", and still won the box office runner-up with 28 million this weekend, a drop of 42%. $45 million a week.
The total box office in North America also accumulated to 262.52 million US dollars.
Will's Jedi Men 2 dropped to third place this week, grossing $22 million in its second week of release and accumulating $88 million.
Paramount's highly-anticipated "Tomb Raider 2" ranked only fourth in its first week of release, grossing $21.7 million, well below the $47 million that the first episode of the film made when it premiered in 2001. At the time, it was the film that gave viewers a chance to get a glimpse of the glamorous British archaeologist who was all the rage in video games.
Now, only two years have passed, and the audience's enthusiasm for women's action movies has rapidly subsided, making Paramount, which is already in a worse situation, frowning again. It also has a lot to do with the quality of the movie. With no new story content, the Tomb Raider video game is not selling well. It is very likely that it has weakened the foundation on which the film's core fans are based.
Wayne Llewellyn, Paramount's film distribution manager, said, "We didn't expect the level of competition to be the way it is," and "this is the first time we've made more than $20 million in five films over a three-day weekend."
So the outside world said that Paramount really couldn't hold on this time and really wanted to change hands began to fly in the sky again.
It is estimated that a considerable part of it was released by Paramount himself, just to catch Kaizi and take the bait.
Compared with last week and last week, the North American Northern Weekly market plummeted, and the world's attention is also paying more attention to the overseas performance of several blockbusters:
Fast & Furious 2, which was launched before the matrix, continues to be released, but the vast majority of regions have begun to disappear. Today, the global box office has accumulated $759 million, and it is even more difficult to break $800 million. The matrix seems to have given up, and some regions have begun to draw in advance and start to launch DVD products. I want to take advantage of the summer racing fever to make another profit from the video market.
The North American box office of "Captain America" is struggling to move towards 200 million, and overseas sales have not been as hot as North America, and it is estimated that it may eventually stop at the threshold of 350 million to 400 million.
There is no doubt that the most important thing in the media is still "Pirates of the Caribbean". This week, "Pirates" officially opened in the world, and the backlog of word-of-mouth fermentation for two weeks was launched.
With Chen Tiandu's box office appeal, no region can be underestimated.
Have people lost their minds? When July 20~27 was called the past, the media and the public found that there was really a movie that could make people lose their minds, and that was a phenomenal movie.
People still remember: when he was a handsome hacker savior, he swept the world, sparked a rapid hacking wave, and also drove more than $2.5 billion at the global box office. Now that "hackers" have become a thing of the past, this "savior husband" has no intention of immersing himself in past honors and sleeping soundly, he resolutely broke his handsome image and shocked the entire big screen with a sloppy, dirty, and cynical image.
He did just that, and he quickly became a cultural phenomenon called "piracy" around the world.
The overseas box office immediately broke $245 million in the first week, and the strong overseas performance also quickly pushed the film's global box office to a height of $500 million.
There is a craze for queuing to buy tickets in many places around the world, and theater companies from all over the world are also happy to rehearse "Pirates of the Caribbean" in their theaters, because as long as there are "pirates", it often means a super high attendance rate, so why not.
