As the days passed, Inception began in Greater China and quickly spread throughout Asia. continues to be a hot release, and the places where the crew goes have always become the focus of media attention. And the next release area, Japan and South Korea, at this time, many fans are already a little impatient.

It was a big hit in North America and a big hit in Europe, and when the film team came to Asia, the news of "Inception" was a big hit and a big hit in the neighboring China region again, coupled with the overwhelming coverage of publicity, Japanese and Korean fans were even more hungry.

After the film was officially released in Japan and South Korea, it only took half a day, and all the tickets in South Korea were still sold out on the first day, and 30% were sold on the second day. In Japan, it only took 15 hours to sell out tickets on the first day, and the enthusiasm of fans was very hot.

Sure enough, as soon as the movie began, there were exclamations in the theater, and they were endless. Later, as the movie continued to play, the theater burst into laughter from time to time and exclaimed from time to time.

"This effect is awesome, Smecta!!"

"It's so thrilling! It's so exciting!! ”

Many of the audience's bodies are constantly shaking irregularly, looking frightened, some people's eyes are like bull's eyes, some people's mouths are big, and some people's bodies are stiff and straight.

The Dream Thief team traveled all the way to Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.

Hu Yifei's popularity has also been accompanied by this wave of publicity, and it has almost reached its peak. The name of Asia's popular king has been further confirmed.

Especially in the Japanese market, since the 90s, Hong Kong's urban area has become attractive here, and few Chinese films have been able to break into this aesthetically curious island country, but Hu Yifei has done it. It started with "The Hangover" and finally soared to the sky when it came to "Inception". In the future, as long as his movies are not too bad, these two regions will have no hindrance to him.

"Inception" swept all the way through the film market in Southeast Asia, and countless fans shouted incredible, and after watching it for the first time, they wanted to watch it a second time. At the box office, "Inception" is even more dominant, what Hollywood blockbusters, local boutique films, all movies are just mud puppets in front of "Inception", not worth mentioning.

In the entire Chinese, Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian film markets, "Inception" is like a war monster, directly crushing all movies, and the box office is far ahead. And in Hollywood, another war that has not seen the smoke of gunpowder is also being sparked.

……

Today, when the North American film market is booming, with new films released every week, it is basically difficult for a dominant film to dominate the film schedule for a long time, especially such an important summer slot.

It's hard to reconcile.

Not everyone likes the same film, and in order to attract fans and even ordinary audiences to the cinema to watch the movie, the pre- and post-screening publicity work is very important.

To a certain extent, publicity is to stimulate the curiosity and interest of the audience, and attract the audience to enter the theater and contribute to the box office.

"Inception" performed strongly at the box office, and the family pictures and Warner also had the capital to ask the theater side for additional screenings, while AMG, Emperor Entertainment and the three major theaters of the United States Artists were the three major theaters. also promised that some of the screens vacated this week would block "Inception".

The theater side is not stupid, "Inception" has reappeared as a box office dark horse in recent times, and the topic has been hyped to the extreme, and film critics and fans have praised the movie to the altar. If such a popular film does not continue to expand its screening and increase revenue, it would be stupid.

Nearly 300 new theaters expanded the scale of "Inception" to 4,100 theaters this week, which was enough to make the family film industry laugh. Other films, especially the new film "The Da Vinci Code", which was released this weekend, have inevitably been affected. At the beginning of the movie's release, it encountered a word-of-mouth crisis, fans of the novel frantically criticized the film adaptation for being super bad, and film critics did not miss the opportunity to fall into the ground.

What's more, there are two major companies that have joined forces behind the scenes to suppress it.

It's just that when Fox suppressed "The Da Vinci Code", it also suppressed "Inception". Of course, Warner is also cracking down on the other two at the same time.

In such an atmosphere, the weekend of May 19th ~ 21st hurried past in a lively manner, "Inception" ended the second weekend of the campaign, when the latest issue of the North American weekend, the global weekend box office list was released, "wow" resounded throughout the earth, this world, it is really lawless!

Directed by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard and starring Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks, "The Da Vinci Code" made a strong debut this weekend, withstanding the pressure of poor word-of-mouth along the way, and managed to win $72 million in its opening weekend. If there is no previous record of "Inception", this result may set the best start of this year's summer file.

If is if, reality is not if. "The Da Vinci Code" earned $72 million at the weekend box office, but it could only rank second?

$78.18 million, a drop of only 33%!

"Inception" staged another miracle in 4,100 North American theaters!

Although it only narrowly won the North American box office championship, it still shocked people to pull down the unbeatable box office performance of "The Da Vinci Code".

This god-level blockbuster, which appeared four years in advance, can be called the top work of this era before the super special effects of "Avatar" came out, whether it is plot, science fiction, or special effects. After a string of box office dark horse performances in its first week, its second weekend continued to be scary and expected, with the trend of a single theater average of $19,000 declining, and the North American box office soared to $238 million in 10 days of release!

"Wow, oh my God!" "Dear God! ”、“What-the-hell！ "Is this an April Fool's joke?! "It's another dark horse work, and I'm starting to like director Galen. His directing talent is even better than his financial talent! ”…… Only these exclamations can make people express their current feelings, this is the craziest movie since the opening of this year's summer file!

And it also set a crazy box office record:

The second-week performance of 78.18 million US dollars defeated the 72.17 million of the original champion "Shrek", the 71.41 million of the original runner-up "Spider-Man", and the 57.48 million of the original third runner-up "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

There is no doubt that "Inception" has become one of the most commercially successful films in North America since the change in the way film is shown.

In addition to the impressive performance in North America, the film's overseas release was the first week, and it still grossed $156 million in 36 countries and regions.

Especially in China, the box office exceeded 100 million in the first weekend, and once again staged the miracle of breaking 100 million yuan the fastest, and the Hong Kong box office broke 26.8 million Hong Kong dollars in the first weekend. Taiwan is also breaking 100 million, creating a record for the fastest Chinese film to break 100 million in Taiwan.

So far, "Inception" has been released worldwide for ten days, and the cumulative global box office has reached $394 million.

The situation is very good! (To be continued.) )
