Chapter 400: Successfully broke 100 million
Christmas is getting closer and closer, and the pre-promotion of "Juno" is no longer needed, and Chen Tiandu follows every day. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly. He simply returned to Los Angeles and began to launch overseas distribution.
"Honey, Christmas is coming. We need to cut down a few pine trees and come back to make a Christmas tree. Kate suddenly said with great interest.
Chen Tiandu said: "No, we will go to London this Christmas." ”
"London?"
Kate's face was full of confusion. "Why go to London for Christmas."
"Christmas should be spent with the family to have a festive atmosphere. Anyway, I'm alone in the United States, and it's the same for holidays. Didn't you always expect me to go to your house, I also want to know your family, I don't know what their attitude is towards me. ”
Kate was suddenly stunned, and said dryly after a while: "Maybe you are more popular than me." Chen Tiandu hugged her waist and kissed her on the forehead.
The Christmas schedule, one of the two prime dates in North America, has been the most important and tragic schedule since December, during which it is full of films that want to strive for high commercial income and word-of-mouth works that are long-term screened for next year's awards. Almost every weekend, more than five films are released, and there are bound to be more than two of them that are competitive at the box office.
During this period, there will not be too many opportunities for any film to accumulate high box office. At the beginning of the second week of December this year, four consecutive word-of-mouth works or large-scale productions with large investments were launched.
"Manhattan Maid", "Star Trek: Nemesis", "Drum Band", and "Miss is Spicy" will all be released this weekend. At the same time, there is Disney's worst lesson of the year, the second week of the release of "Treasure Island", after the bitter lesson of last week, Disney officials say that this is a more realistic number. About 70 percent of the film's audience is fans under the age of 25, and the company hopes that the school holidays in the coming weeks will boost box office sales.
They are Disney, and cartoons have never been about normalism. So the pressure on "Juno" is not weaker than last week, but stronger.
Whether a movie will be a big hit or not, the box office of the opening weekend is very important, but the box office of the following weekday is equally important. In fact, just look at the box office of the first weekend and the decline of the following weekdays. It's pretty much at a glance.
Not every movie can ignore the box office laws like "Titanic", and no movie can escape the inevitable law of the box office plummeting on weekdays the next week, and "Juno" is no exception.
The following Monday, Juno's single-day box office plummeted from $19 million on Sunday to $4.8 million. The drop is frightening. Of course, this has the impact of weekdays, but the students have just been on vacation, and they have not been able to attract many people to enter the venue, which has to be a little worrying. In the following three working days, the single-day box office basically remained at this level. They received $4.1 million, $3.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
The weekend opened, facing the rapid pursuit of four new films.
Audiences finally started to return on Friday, and the box office picked up, with "Juno" also taking home $8.2 million, Saturday $8.9 million, and Sunday $7.8 million. A total of $24.9 million was taken in the second weekend and $41.2 million for the whole week. The film was released in North America for ten days, and the cumulative box office exceeded the $100 million mark.
Most unexpectedly, the second weekend grossed $24.9 million. actually won the weekend box office champion.
can only blame the movies of the same period for being too uncompetitive, and the four promising new films were collectively released to encircle and suppress "Juno", which is so vulnerable, it is simply funny.
The rest of the box office performers best are not the big-budget classic sci-fi series "Star Trek: Nemesis", but "The Manhattan Maid" starring Jennifer Lopez. In just one day, millions of North American fans took on Jennifer Lopez-style maid services this weekend. Perhaps the audience would like to see Jennifer Lopez put on a maid costume and be busy in the villa, and then have a close relationship with the male host.
The romantic comedy "Manhattan Maid" made a $19 million debut over three days over the weekend, the best debut of Jennifer Lopez's career, according to the Sunday Distribution Division.
It's a pity that I ran into Chen Tiandu. It can only be in second place.
And in the $55 million Cinderella film, Jennifer Lopez plays a hotel maid who falls in love with a politician, and the film breaks into the top five of the week's box office list along with three other new films.
Due to the start of school holidays. The release of these new films has brought the industry back from last weekend's traditional post-Thanksgiving slump.
Last weekend's runner-up, MGM's James Bond film "007: Who's Fighting," tied for fifth place with Disney's new comedy "Spice Girls," grossing $7.5 million each.
However, the 20th official release of the "007" spy film became the highest-grossing film in the "007" series after 40 years. The film has grossed $131.6 million in its four weeks of release, surpassing the $127 million grossed by 1999's Black Sun Crisis.
Even so, it is still difficult to hide its high investment return pressure. Fortunately, "007" has never worried about the market. Their ability to perform overseas is ten times that of "Juno"!
At the same time, another fan-favorite series seems to be losing its charm.
The 10th installment of the sci-fi series "Star Trek" debuted at No. 3 at the box office with $18.8 million. Officials at Paramount, a subsidiary of Viacom, had hoped that the film would make at least $20 million at the opening box office, but now it has been up for nothing. was already under pressure to be sold, hoping to improve the status quo from the blockbuster series "Star Trek", but now it is even worse.
Wayne Llewellyn, Paramount's distribution manager, said: "As we expected, male viewers make up the majority of Star Trek's slice of the story, about 64 percent. With a production budget of more than $60 million, Paramount can only hope for a family rental market after its release, after all, North America has been cultivating interstellar fans for decades, and it will be a very lucrative market.
But these are not the point, "Juno" successfully broke 100 million at the North American box office!
Chen Tiandu, another movie that broke 100 million in North America, was born. Looking back on his past, it seems that there is no movie that has not broken 100 million.
However, Chen Tiandu knows very well that this should be the last single-week high box office superposition of the film, and he can only rely on the screen time to accumulate in the future. Because in the new weekend, the real box office heavy cannon is about to be fired, and "The Lord of the Rings 2 Two Towers" is here.
All the media is speculating about how much it will box office for its premiere, and fans are gearing up. Waiting for its release.
Anyone who has a little ability will avoid its release, which is why Chen Tiandu chose to release "Juno" when the Christmas file was not the hottest in the first two weeks.
"Ha, leave 'Gangs of New York' and 'The Lord of the Rings' to the death."
That's right, Martin Scorsese's new film "Gangs of New York" is about to be released. It's just that they were unlucky and forced to go toe-to-toe with The Lord of the Rings. Maybe the old man is so confident that he thinks that with his and Leonardo's influence, he can stand out in this schedule?!
“……”
It doesn't matter, Chen Tiandu is completely relieved and is ready to go to London to meet his future father-in-law.
As soon as a few people got off the plane, they were captured by the British paparazzi, and Chen Tiandu quickly put his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and faced the media camera with a cold face. But the reporters didn't care, they came to London with their families in tow, and it was during the Christmas period. It's so valuable.
It doesn't take long for the entire British media to report with great fanfare.
It is said that "close to home is timid", Kate is not timid at all, and looks excited. On the contrary, Chen Tiandu, who is "not afraid of heaven and earth", is a little restrained at the moment. With that hesitant look, Kate couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
"Honey, you're too grinding."
Chen Tian was speechless. He was very well prepared, bought some gifts, and brought the two little ones in the family with him, the "Megatron" dog and the "unhappy face" big cat.
After adopting them, you don't really have much time to take care of them.
The good thing is that animals have their own nature. It doesn't matter how long you haven't been home, as soon as you get home, they will still remember you as the owner. There is nothing more than a dog barking with a wagging tail as soon as I get home from a long time outing. It's more heartwarming to greet a cat with an obvious "I'm not happy with you" in person. This Christmas, just bring them together.
He was accompanied by Dracula, a housekeeper whose hometown was in England but who no longer had a family. For him, no Christmas is complete everywhere he goes. Anyway, it's a belt to bring two little guys, so why not bring the old housekeeper too.
Dracula resigned. He will not refuse the host's invitation.
"Kate, what are your family's special hobbies, I mean, are there any taboos that you can't talk about anything like that?"
Kate chuckled, "What are you worried about, they're friendly." I guess it's better for you than for me, and I think you'll be good friends. ”
In fact, under the warm invitation of their family, the restrained Chen Tiandu quickly adapted to it. Kate's father is also an actor, and her mother is a tailor, so I heard that she is slightly famous in London's Tailor Street. There is also a younger brother, Hawley, who is a doctor. Kate is often away from home and has not had a good relationship with her family, and now she has brought a male ticket home and improved her family relationship a lot.
The Beckinsale family is very interested in movies, and the two sides have a common topic, and Chen Tiandu has naturally become the most popular person in this family. Even when chatting with Kate's mother, Chen Tiandu can handle it easily. He also has a small opinion about fashion.
It's just that there is no common topic in the doctor industry, but the unhappy face has helped a lot.
Hawley talked about the unpleasant face a lot, "Does its family look like it?" ”
"No, its family is all normal cats, except for this guy. Can you tell what breed it is? ”
"Oh...... This one is more difficult. Some of Garfield's features don't quite look like them. It should belong to a mixed breed cat, so it looks weird. Hawley said.
Chen Tiandu nodded, "I think so too." It's been a good year.,Cats don't necessarily have to be cute to be cute.,Occasionally, there will be people who have a stinky face.。 (To be continued.) )xh118
