Chapter 358: The premiere broke 100 million again
"Matrix Revolution" grossed $42.35 million on the first day, undoubtedly winning the new champion in film history on the opening day.
Previously, Chen Tiandu's best first-day box office was "Fast and Passionate", which won $32.5 million on Friday, but now the "Matrix Revolution" has surpassed the previous record without any suspense.
In the face of the "Star Wars Prequel 2 Clone Attack", which has a large number of Star Wars fans, the first place on the list of various summer movie expectations, and the series "Spider-Man", which is popular all over the United States, "The Matrix Revolution 3" has achieved incredible results and stood out in this fierce summer vacation.
The second place is "Spider-Man", which was released in early May, with 39.4 million, of course, "Spider-Man" was released on Thursday, which gave "hackers" some advantage. But it's just one day, there are three days in the whole weekend, and everyone is watching to see how much the premiere box office will end up in.
Today's "Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution" is really a treasure, and a new culture has been formed, not only limited to movies, but also comics, books, TV series, games, etc. It is not uncommon to have a collection of character shapes and peripheral toys, such as character models, Neo's trench coat, Trinity's leather coat, etc.
Filming began in 1998, and it has been nearly five years now. Each one is a hit, and fans can't expect more. And the more films that end the series, the more they achieve in the screening phase, the more post-production power they can provide, and the opening day of "Matrix Revolution" is satisfying.
"Christmas Chan knows what fans like to watch, and even though the film is becoming more and more commercially action-oriented, it makes it difficult for fans to speak ill of it." -- Japan's "Nikshi" reported; "Five years ago. The fledgling Chen Tiandu decided to open up a new sci-fi world, and he cleverly added action to the action. Elements such as science fiction, philosophy, and love, a year later, this "Matrix" was born with a perfect mix of various factors. And set off a global movie-watching boom. Five years later, the series has accompanied all hacker fans through three episodes. The perfect sense of rhythm and storyline, and the cool audio-visual feast, make it impossible for hacker fans to be quiet this summer. -- Xinhua News Agency.
"Christmas Chan always has a convincing charm, or a kind of courage that borders on arrogance, the "Star Wars" series has always dominated the attention of science fiction fans, but now fans want to make a place in their hearts for the "Matrix" series of movies, the only pity is that "Star Wars" is passing, and "Matrix Revolution" has also ushered in the end." - Cover of Empire magazine; "This movie is not the best in the hacker series. but successfully created a classic ending. As a hacking fan, I have no regrets. Longoria, a well-known correspondent for the Associated Press, reports;" As always, it's fantastic, with no pee spots throughout, and it's the quintessential Christmas chan style that will leave you stunned in the theater because of its world and complexity. - The Sun......
Like a reincarnation, in the summer of 1977, a sci-fi frenzy was set off from North America, and then swept the world.
That was from Star Wars. It has brought unparalleled shock to the global audience. It has made many geeks and young people boiling, and formed a warm interstellar culture around the world.
Now, starting in 1999, The Matrix has the same charm. And after the success of the two series of movies, it has become more and more dazzling. Although it can't be compared with "Star Wars", it is enough for Chen Tiandu to open up a new era for him!
On the first day, it won $42.35 million. How should the final box office of "Matrix Revolution" be predicted? Analysts are feeling a bit of a headache.
Considering that "Reloaded" has already earned $920 million at the global box office, "Matrix Revolution", which is the end of the series, deserves to get a higher box office than "Reloaded".
So...... How much? 1 billion?!
Chen Tiandu didn't think about it. Although he knew that "Matrix Revolution" was not badly reviewed and was released as the end of the movie. It's going to be a very, very special movie, and it's going to be a big hit at the box office, but it's too early to say that it's going to break the 1 billion box office worldwide.
He knows very well that although the current evaluation and opening day box office have exceeded everyone's expectations, there are still many negative factors, especially the overall sluggishness of the current theater market, plus the audience has experienced the surprise of the first part, the surprise of the second part, and the third part cannot surpass the second part. Chen Tiandu can only maintain the level of the second part, after all, they were filmed together.
Warner and Matrix didn't bet only on North America, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of record-breaking global releases? Chen Tiandu and Kate also began a promotional tour, the first day passed and the second day arrived, and due to the time difference, premieres around the world began one after another. The entire crew will go through 12 international publicity stations in the next month, all of which are important ticket offices.
Now it seems that it is really unlucky to be released on the same schedule as "Matrix Revolution", since the beginning of May, "Spider-Man" has been dominant, and then it is the turn of "Star Wars" to reach the top without suspense in the middle of May. Entering June, Ben Affleck, who had expected a good result, starred in the spy thriller "The Sum of Fear" and became cannon fodder very sadly. With an investment of $90 million, it is expected that the box office of the opening weekend will be the most box office result of the "Matrix Revolution" day.
This summer battlefield is so cruel that it makes people desperate!
Time flies, when May 29th ~ June 1st becomes a thing of the past, Chen Tiandu received the box office report, and the whole mood was happy!
All the participants in the production of "Matrix Revolution" are in a happy mood, and the box office of the first weekend is fresh today, with the headline of Yahoo Entertainment's report read: "'The Matrix Revolution 3' won the championship without suspense, breaking the box office record of $114 million for the premiere of 'Spider-Man' this summer, and the third film in film history to break the box office of 100 million yuan is still a Christmas ......"
After grossing $42.35 million at the box office on the opening day, "Matrix Revolution" continued to stage the unbelievable on Saturday the 31st of the next day, making all authoritative or non-authoritative analysts open their mouths, which is really special!
It set a new record in film history, but its box office trend only showed a very slight drop of 10.2%, and the next day it swept away a crazy $38.03 million! The best is yet to come, and although it is down 10% at the box office on the third day, it still has a $35.75 million heroic!
With the three-day box office and Thursday's midnight box office, the opening weekend box office just exceeded 100 million, and with a box office of $115.13 million in the United States and Canada, there was no suspense to win the best premiere of the year.
IMDB's headline reads: "Congratulations to 'Matrix Revolutions' on its $115 million debut!" ”
"Following "Fast and Passionate", Christmas Chan has created another premiere frenzy. The era of hundreds of millions has actually arrived, and so far there have been three movies that have exceeded 100 million at the box office in their premiere weekends, two of which are produced in Christmas Chen. I'm curious to know who will be next, and who can curb Christmas Chan's crazy money-grabbing rhythm! ……”
"With this achievement, even if the next movie of Christmas Chen is a bad movie, the box office will not be bad!"
Media critics, filmmakers, and movie fans are speechless when they see this latest North American box office list. There was no happiest person than Warner, whose share price was spurred on by the good box office and rose 5% on the day, which is rare for Warner stock to continue to fall today.
Disney now regrets it, and some of them have begun to wake up to the fact that maybe they shouldn't give up on "Pirates of the Caribbean", even if it's an R-rated movie, maybe it can go down in history as Disney's only R-rated movie. With Christmas Chen's appeal, even a fool can see that he will make a fortune in his next movie.
3,845 theaters received 112.13 million on three days of the weekend plus midnight on Thursday, with an average of nearly $40,000 per theater, which is really rare in film history when there is nearly $40,000 per theater on a weekend.
It can be said that from day to night to day, almost every house was full throughout the weekend. If it weren't for the limited number of theaters, the super "hackers" would definitely create a greater miracle, but now this opening result has already shocked the eyeballs!
This weekend's second-ranked "Sum of Fears" grossed $31.2 million in three days, less than the one-day performance of "Matrix Revolution." It was followed by Star Wars Prequel II: The Clone Attack in its third week of release, which earned $20.7 million and has accumulated more than $232 million in North America, and Spider-Man, which came in fourth with $14.5 million in three days.
In Hiroma's overseas market, "Matrix Revolution" has also been a success, becoming the weekend box office champion in all countries and regions without any resistance, earning $183.5 million in its first weekend in more than 18,000 cinemas in more than 100 countries around the world.
In its first week of release, it grossed $298.63 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of all time.
When this result was announced, there was a lot of attention for a while.
