June 13th-15th new week weekend box office rankings have been released, this second weekend of June, the opening weekend with $32.07 million won "Infernal Affairs" continued to "surprise" the media industry, continue to surprise the matrix film studio, but its first week continued to progress steadily under the word-of-mouth, the weekend decline was only an astonishing 17.5%, sweeping $26.45 million at the box office, a week of $38.59 million!

This allowed it to defend its title on the weekend charts, and the total North American box office also reached $70.66 million, breaking the foreign language film record of "Life is Beautiful" in just 8 days!

The 17.5% drop is staggering, not only does "Infernal Affairs" beat all other rivals, but it is also possible that this decline appeared on "Big Boat" in 1998, and now it appears in a foreign language film. You know, even the critically acclaimed epic blockbuster "Gladiator" fell below 30% the following week.

Yahoo's weekly box office review put it this way: "It's not a surprise that this movie won the title; On the contrary, Chen Tiandu's film suffered a box office waterloo, and I suspect that someone is joking. ”

After evaluating the movie itself, the editor wrote: "The most incredible thing about Chen Tiandu is that whatever type of movie he makes, it will be a big success, and this young man will never stick to his existing achievements." ”

The results of this second week of release are really important for matrix films.

It's a bit of an oasis in the middle of a hill in the desert, which proves that "Infernal Affairs", which has been labeled as a "Chinese-language movie", has further broken through the resistance in the United States, and it still relied on Chen Tiandu's personal box office appeal and a powerful offensive of online viral propaganda when it premiered in the first week. The next week was all about word-of-mouth. It is also this double undercover story that is gradually blooming with charm......

For this kind of word-of-mouth movie. The most effective screening strategy is, of course, a long-term screening. They have been signing a long-term screening agreement since the beginning, and it can be said that they are planning ahead. At the moment, this result is still under control.

Movie reviews and public word-of-mouth people who have watched it have to give two thumbs up and let the audience who waited too much in the first week make a decision? None of the new films in the same schedule in the summer of June are competitive enough? "60 Seconds of Rush" only won $25.48 million, regrettably relegated to the top of the list.

So another round of media rendering blows are indispensable, "Chen Tiandu VS Cage + Jolie, knock-down!" ”

This is a dazzling achievement. Compared with domestic films that are already in a state of dry wells, it is like suddenly injecting a big river, and the surprise, excitement, excitement, and pride are too stingy to express in words.

Chen Tiandu is also pleased, but what he is most looking forward to is the Asian box office returns.

The always reserved news network also rarely reported the news of the literary circle, "China's famous director Chen Tiandu's new film "Infernal Affairs" won the crown again this week after being released in North America last weekend with a box office of 32.07 million US dollars and winning the weekend box office championship...... The cumulative box office in North America in 10 days has reached $70.66 million, making it the highest-grossing foreign Chinese film in the history of the United States. The success surpassed Bellini's "Life is Beautiful", which won the Oscar for Best Actor in 1999. ”

In addition, Oscar winner Lee Case's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will also land in the United States in December. Famous Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" will also be fully released in New York on February 2 next year. When the film was released in Paris, it was hugely well received by fans. and Yang Dechang's thought-provoking "Yiyi" is also about to be released, and Chen Long's exaggerated kung fu action movie opens up a sky in North America. ”

"Hollywood has given the highest praise to Chinese-language films that shine in the American film market. Renowned director Wu Yusen said that many films made by Chinese people have broken away from the confines of the 80s and show a refreshing style......

Ho Ho Ho Ho ......

News Network In Chinese families, one of the programs that fathers love is that they don't know what to do for their children. But today's news broadcast suddenly made many young people excited, "That's right, "Infernal Affairs" is on the news broadcast. Is that smiling uncle Wu Yusen, who is actually on the news. "Seeing the picture of "Infernal Affairs" flashing on TV, it really stimulated many young people, and they instantly became taller.

Many viewers who didn't know the news of this movie before also began to be curious, the news network actually broadcast news from the entertainment industry? It's weird.

In this country, there is never a shortage of people who take off their pants and fart. The next day, some experts and scholars began to openly question whether the news broadcast broadcast entertainment news was appropriate. The news broadcast column team publicly responded, "The news broadcast is to broadcast the news that the general public is most interested in, and "Infernal Affairs" has become a major event that affects people's lives and can naturally be reported. ”

This questioning and counter-questioning naturally cheapened the "Infernal Affairs" that was being released.

"Will you go to the theater to see the upcoming Infernal Affairs?" In a hot survey of the movie channel, 785 people participated, and 70% of netizens chose the must-see and expected works; 16% chose to see or not to watch; 4% of the choices are not good; 10% chose not to know. "For the 10% of people who don't know, it can only show that the people at this time don't care much about the things in the film industry, and they have to run around for life every day, rushing back and forth, and it's understandable that they don't know, and the other is also because domestic movies have been immersed for too long.

And then there is a subsidiary survey: "How much do you think "Infernal Affairs" will collect at the box office in Chinese mainland?" ”

On the list of Chinese film box office history, the first place is 1998's "Titanic", which has been at the top of the list for 2 years with a figure of 360 million, and it seems that it will be difficult to be surpassed for a while, followed by "The Matrix", which caused a blockbuster movie-watching boom last year, 178 million is currently the highest. The third is the same domestic film "Life and Death Choice" released in 2000, not to mention how much water the box office of this movie is, netizens' evaluation is 'boring and no bright spots, that bit of has to be enough for 150 minutes, and it costs people's ......lives' and then 1995 "True Lies" 100 million.

It's the turn of the domestic movies "Shaolin Temple", "Mom Loves Me Again", and "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" are all 100 million; Now it depends on whether "Infernal Affairs" can break Chen Tiandu's previous record of "The Matrix".

But challenge "Titanic"? Even the audience has no confidence, so naturally there is no need to mention it.

Taking advantage of the offensive of good results and fresh and hot overseas results in the past week, Chen Tiandu brought a group of film creators back to China to promote "Infernal Affairs", how much box office will it finally receive?

Some people shouted and screamed to beat "Titan", some people estimated that they were quite conservative, and some people expected Chen Tiandu to break his own record...... But most people think it won't break through 200 million.

The domestic box office is opaque, and the moisture is very strong. And at present, there is no more professional box office statistics agency, and the box office statistics of many Sina.com websites are all boastful. The United States counts the box office by the hour, and the ratio of men and women and age can be clearly displayed, and domestic audiences have to wait for the weekly box office of "Infernal Affairs" at this time, and they can probably only wait for the official release.

The ticket price of a movie in China was 1 cent in the 50s, 1 cent in the 60s, 2 cents in the 70s, 3 cents in the 80s, and it rose to 2 yuan in 89, and the ticket price in 96 was 15 yuan. The current fare is between 15~30 on average, but it varies depending on the city, and there are many people who exceed 80.

For this day and age, this fare is very unreasonable. The audience is living in dire straits and still doesn't know it, or even if they know it, they are still extremely tolerant and continue to support Chinese films like "moths to the fire". Fortunately, they didn't see that after a few years, it would be forty or fifty at every turn, and the fatal ones would be as high as one hundred and two, which would be even more embarrassing.

In 1998, when "Titanic" was released in Beijing, the first round of theater ticket prices was as high as 80 yuan, and the lowest ticket price after the premiere peak was not less than 40 yuan. Chen Tian doesn't have the courage to save domestic films, but he will do what he can to help.

At the beginning of the price for the movie, China Film set it at 50, Chen Tiandu shook his head, "The first round of 30 is high enough, and more will turn away more audiences, this round of 15~20 is a reasonable number, and it will take a long time." ”

If the high ticket prices in the future are true, then China Film is the real culprit who promotes the high ticket prices, and the blind pricing of the introduction of blockbusters is the consequence of making people unable to see the huge impact on the operation and development of the Chinese film industry hidden after the sharp rise in ticket prices.

But Chen Tiandu can't say anything, he is also one of the culprits of imported blockbusters, he can't look down on this domestic box office, and it is even more foolish to reverse the overall situation of domestic films, so he can only do his best to let more people know about himself.

Having said so much, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, and what the results are, it will be revealed immediately.

"The sincere work of genius director Chen Tiandu, saving the glorious moment of "Infernal Affairs"!"

"Swept North America to win the championship, the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the first week results are incredible!"

There are 500 copies in China alone, which is only a little less than "The Matrix". We will continue to keep a strict guard against piracy, set up huge bonuses for whistleblowing, and immediately make a special report if one or two are caught, so as to put psychological pressure on pirates.

At least in a week or two, it must not collapse, and how far the box office can go depends on how long the piracy can hold.

In June, there were many films released in Chinese mainland, but only one "Infernal Affairs" was released on a large scale. In the midst of the publicity storm, it has also become the first film in the theater system to schedule more than 50% of the films. said that it is 50% of the film schedule, in fact, many theaters have contributed the best screenings and the largest theaters to "Infernal Affairs", which has a super high reputation and has attracted much attention.

Since the premiere day, there has been no shortage of reports about the box office.

A week later, after the news of the North American box office winning the championship returned to China, the summary of the national box office finally came out, and a crazy number appeared. (To be continued......)
