799 Winged spiders
Some things are not transferred by human will at all, such as the number of screens in "Spider-Man 2", even if Marvel Studios makes a lot of efforts, it can't stop Viacom's small methods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, 3820 screens are not small. Even if you talk about this matter outside, you can't find fault with one person. After all, the response to "Fahrenheit 911" is very good now, although it is released in a low-key manner, it is inevitable to increase the number of screens this week.
But even with Viacom's block, it still didn't stop the little spider's pace. On June 30, it grossed $41 million in just one day of release, setting a new record for the highest single-day box office on Hollywood's premiere day.
With the premiere day over, it brings good word-of-mouth. It can be said that this film is what fans have been waiting for for a long time, although it was not shot in Columbia, and Marvel Studios did not disappoint everyone.
The previous rumors dissipated directly into the wind under this box office result, and it also allowed more people to go to the cinema for a sneak peek.
As of July 4, the box office exceeded $190 million. Even if you only count the weekend box office from Friday to Sunday, there is a result of 149 million. It also broke the box office record in the history of the Independence Day long weekend in the United States, the last record was $9.02 million set by "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" in 1997.
The Washington Post gave a long comment: The little spider is tired in the process of saving himself and New York, and he is a little deliberate about the "frustration of the little people" in the plot, which will inevitably give people a very old-fashioned feeling.
However, the handling of the plot is very meticulous, which can delicately show the little spider from doubting himself to affirming his own value, making the role of the little spider more vivid.
What surprised us was that a lot of comedy elements were added between the action scenes this time, which not only made us feel boring when watching, but also made us feel pleasantly surprised.
This is the fourth hero movie launched by Marvel Studios after "X-Men 2", "Hulk", "Daredevil", and they did not let us expect in vain, they gave the audience a beautiful work.
It's not easy for a film to give so many text evaluations, the normal ones are just a few sentences, mainly because the box office momentum of this film is a bit against the sky.
In the second week of its release, the number of screens screened increased to 4,288. This didn't use Marvel Studios to communicate with those theaters, they brought it up themselves.
Maybe they have some regrets now, after all, there is news that many children in big cities have gone to the suburbs to watch movies because they didn't snap up movie tickets.
The performance of Little Spider in the second release week was still outstanding, once again earning nearly $60 million at the box office. The cumulative box office of this film exceeded 250 million US dollars, and some people used "little spider with wings" to describe the film's performance at the box office.
The first "Spider-Man" grossed $400.3 million at the North American box office, and this second installment, people don't think it's very difficult to break the record of the previous one.
Even if with the extension of the release period, the weekly box office will definitely show a trend of decay in the future, but it is not very far from this goal, and it is only 150 million US dollars short. Judging from the box office trend of previous films, it is easy to break this value at the end of the screening period.
Last year, Liu Anran's "Pirates of the Caribbean" exceeded $400 million at the North American box office, and this year's "Spider-Man 2" still has a great chance of breaking through $400 million, which makes many people a little unacceptable. Even if they are issued by different companies, they have a common head office, Dream Media.
What's even more terrifying is that if this year's "Spider-Man 2" can continue to sit on the throne of the No. 1 box office in North America, shouldn't other companies reflect on it? How much box office will Dream Media's film company win this year?
"Doomsday" has now exceeded $150 million at the box office, and there is still a long time to go. "Furious Rescue", which was released earlier, also exceeded the box office of 100 million US dollars.
This year's box office war has just begun, and later Dream Media will have films such as "Spy 2", "National Treasure", "Million Dollar Baby", and a new thriller directed by James to meet you.
If you count the expected box office of these films, I am afraid that this year's box office revenue will be accounted for by Dream Media.
The popularity of the little spider has already had a certain chain reaction. If it's just a box office success of one or two films, it can be said to be luck. But in the past two years, the films promoted by Dream Media have been great, which has proved a problem from the side, and Dream Media's movies can be watched.
The most direct consequence is that in the third week, the box office results of "Doomsday Catastrophe" and "Rage Rescue", which have not yet been released, have picked up.
"Kevin, you're finally relieved this time, aren't you?" When he came to Marvel Studios, Liu Anran asked jokingly.
"I really didn't expect this film to do so well at the box office, and now I really regret it, why should I worry so much in the first place." Kevin? Feige said with a smile.
"Little spider, we don't have to worry about it, what we have to think about now is the drama "Fantastic Four". I checked some information, and the creation time of this drama is long enough, and one has already been filmed in 1994, but it has not been released. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"But now that we've taken over, we're going to have to tear it down and start over. Although I have some scripts written before, I also have to let the creative committee adapt it according to the current situation. The selection of directors should also be carefully considered. ā
"There's a really good candidate for the director, Steven? Soderbergh, who had just finished filming "Ocean's Twelve," also expressed interest in the film. The only thing to consider is that if you choose him, it may increase the production cost a little. "Kevin? Feige thought for a moment and said.
"If there's no better fit, use him." Liu Anran said after thinking about it.
"Now can be said to be a critical period for Marvel to establish its image, even if our production costs are slightly higher, as long as we can ensure the quality of the film, I think it is worth it."
"As the box office performance of "Spider-Man 2" becomes more and more prominent, the stock price of Marvel has also risen all the way, which is the influence of the brand."
"In fact, a lot of films can be watched in the cinema, or you can wait for the disc to come out and watch again, and what we have to do now is to fight for the latter. Let them get into the habit of seeing our films without having to think about anything else. ā
