"Then it's going to be 2012." Hearing Robin's question, He Mu said without thinking.

Now "2012" has been released in the mainland for five weeks, and it can still rank in the top ten of the box office list in the strong Chinese New Year, and the total box office has reached 460 million, which has surpassed "Transformers 2" (450 million) to become the new box office champion in mainland film history.

He Mu has never watched "2012", but he can see the excitement of this film on the Internet, and he still thinks about whether he will go to see it after coming to the United States, so he asked, "This film can still be seen in the United States now, right?" ”

Jeff replied, "Yes, you can see it, but there are very few theaters showing this film anymore, and although "2012" has been very successful in overseas markets, especially in China, it is not even in the top 10 at the box office in the United States this year. Jeff's implication is that "2012" doesn't seem to be worth mentioning.

"Oh, so what's the hottest movie in the United States right now?" He Mu asked curiously, now is one of the hottest schedules in the United States, the Christmas schedule, it is not easy to dominate the box office at this time.

At this time, Robin, who was busy dealing with food, interjected, "Have you ever heard of "The Gods Descend to Earth"? ”

“A… vatar？ He Mu was not very familiar with this word, and it was a little strange, he looked at Song Xuan, and his cousin helped him explain, "Avatar means incarnation, the god descends to earth, this is James. A new work directed by Cameron. ”

"Oh, "The Heavens Come Down to Earth". I've heard of it," He Mu said he understood, "Has this movie been released yet?" ”

He Mu once saw a message in the magazine "Watching Movies" that James had been silent for a long time. Director Cameron has been brewing a stunning work. It is said to be a super sci-fi blockbuster that cost more than $500 million and took nearly ten years to plan, and the name seems to be "God Descent" or "Incarnation" or something.

There are not many movies directed by Cameron, but a "Titanic" has occupied many box office records such as the world's highest box office, the highest box office in North America, and the highest box office in Chinese mainland since its inception (the highest box office in the mainland has only recently been broken), and Cameron alone deserves the title of "Card God", and his "God Under the Mortal" who has sharpened his sword for ten years is naturally highly anticipated and quite sold.

Jeff smiled. "It seems that you have really lived in a remote area for a long time, and the news is too slow, and "Descending from the Heavens" has been in theaters in the United States for two weeks. And as far as I know, Twentieth Century Fox has finalized the introduction plan with your China Film, and the Chinese audience should be able to see it soon.

"Oh, how's the box office word-of-mouth?" He Mu asked again.

"The reputation is not bad, the box office. Average performance at first. However, there should be a lot of stamina. Jeff explained that he is very sensitive to the box office when he is engaged in distribution, and he likes to study the box office the most, so he explained He Mu in great detail.

"Avatar" ("Avatar") was released last Friday, and the box office in the first three days of the opening weekend was 73 million US dollars, if converted to RMB, this figure could directly replace "2012" as the new box office champion in mainland film history, but this opening figure did not reach the expectations of all walks of life. After all, there is only one card god, and people have placed too much hope on him.

He Mu felt that people were demanding too much from Cameron. But judging from the data given by Jeff, this result is really not good, because only in 09, this opening weekend box office can only rank sixth, lower than "Twilight 2: New Moon", "Transformers 2: The Comeback", "X-Men Story: Wolverine", "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Star Trek" and other five films, even if the global box office is counted, the global box office of "Avatar" of $232 million in the first week can only just squeeze into the top ten in film history, ranking ninth.

This result is indeed not so satisfactory, it is not worthy of the momentum of the "King of the World" Cameron, and I am even more sorry for the legendary ultra-high production cost of up to 500 million US dollars, according to the previous market experience, more than 70 million in the first week of North America, which may end in a low-key manner of $150 million in North America like "Wolverine", or nearly $300 million at the box office like "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", in short, it is impossible to be higher, and "Transformers 2" with 390 million in North America The box office in the first weekend was a vigorous 110 million US dollars, so the box office of "Avatar" was indeed uneventful, and the media used "subtlety" to describe Cameron's appearance after ten years, but Kashen's box office masterpiece "Titanic" is also a fighting power, maybe "Avatar" is also this way.

Not to mention, it's really like this, in the second week, "Avatar" grossed $75.6 million in three days over the weekend, a reverse decline of 2%! The media collectively exclaimed, and this time the media used the words "shocking Lianzhuang".

In the United States, the first weekend box office of a movie is very important, and it often accounts for a very high proportion of the total box office of a movie, such as "Wolverine", the first weekend box office of this movie in North America is 85 million US dollars, the total box office in North America is 150 million, and the total box office is less than twice that of the first week, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is 79 million in the first week, with a total box office of 290 million, and the ratio of the total box office to the first weekend box office is nearly 4:1. The ratio of 3:1 total box office to the first weekend box office is more in line with the law of the market.

So normally, after Hollywood movies achieve a high box office in the first week, there will be a large decline in the second week, and then fall in the third week, and "Avatar" actually reversed the decline, and the next week's score of 75.6 million was second only to Nolan's "Batman Prequel 2: The Night Knight", ranking second in the second weekend box office in film history, and the final North American box office of the hero blockbuster "Night Knight" was 530 million US dollars. It's just that it's still very stressful to break the North American box office of "Titanic" of 650 million.

Now that "Avatar" has been released for ten days, the North American box office has accumulated 210 million US dollars, the global box office has exceeded 400 million, and larger markets such as Chinese mainland and Japan have not yet been released, so there is great potential, and now people have begun to discuss whether "Avatar" can kill the global $1.12 billion of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", rushing to the second place in film history. Although "Avatar" is very optimistic, no one thinks that this sci-fi giant can surpass the box office miracle of "Titanic" of 1.9 billion US dollars, and people's predictions for him are limited to the second place in film history.
