"Captain Jack Sparrow, are you ready?"

This is the battle post sent by Lance at the premiere of "Fury Road", and now it seems that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is obviously not ready, they did not expect such a strong performance of "Fury Road", they did not expect the topic of "Fury Road" to be so hot, they did not expect "Fury Road" to be so fierce, and they also did not expect that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" may become the loser of this summer file war.

Success is always relative. "Superman Returns" was released four weeks ago, and the cumulative box office in North America was 178 million, which sounds really good to laymen, not only exceeded 100 million, but also 200 million was also within the range - it is not easy for any work to achieve a box office of 200 million in North America, and it seems that Warner Bros.'s overwhelming pre-publicity has achieved a lot of results. But in the eyes of professionals, this achievement is not worth mentioning compared with the 300 million investment and 50 million publicity of the film.

The same is true of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the cumulative box office in North America has reached 235 million in just two weeks of release, and the overseas box office performance is also very good, and the movie is about to enter the profit stage after two weeks - Disney can sit and count the money with a relaxed heart, even if the "Fury Road" performance is excellent, this is a sure fact, compared to Warner Bros. three consecutive defeats, Disney should be able to secretly laugh. However, Disney's expectations for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" are not just as simple as making a profit, 400 million in North America and 1 billion in the world, which is Disney's goal.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has been subjected to strong sniping from "Fury Road" for two consecutive weeks, and these two targets are immediately full of countless uncertainties, even if they achieve 399 million in North America, this achievement is bound to make Disney smile.

In the third week of July, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" fell by 45 percent at the box office, handing over 29.7 million weekend box office, after falling below the 30 million level, North America's hope of hitting 400 million was further hit, and the cumulative box office in three weeks of release staggered over 300 million, temporarily settled in the position of 308.8 million, there is still a long way to go from the goal of 400 million, but Disney is deeply aware that the stamina of "Fury Road" must not be underestimated, If the box office is lower than expected under the pressure of opponents every week, it is very likely that the North American dream of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will be shattered.

This really hurts Disney.

In the face of the attacks of "Banshee in the Water", "Monster House" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the "Fury Road" in the midst of the dire situation once again showed its strong strength to sweep through thousands of armies, and from Monday onwards, it was far ahead, showing an incredible absolute advantage.

On Monday, 25 million broke the record of 23 million set by Shrek 2 in 2004.

On Tuesday, 16 million was announced, breaking the record of 13 million set by "Meet Your Father-in-Law" in 2004.

On Wednesday, 17 million was the 14 million non-premiere of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which was the 11th most popular film in film history, even if Wednesday's premiere was included.

On Thursday, 20 million broke the record of 15 million non-premieres collected by "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" last week, and in the single-day box office record including Thursday's premiere, this result was also easily crowned the first place, breaking the record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

In other words, from Monday to Thursday, "Fury Road" easily refreshed all the single-day box office records in film history, this dominance completely exploded "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and really exerted the devastating box office sweeping power to the extreme, even after the outbreak of negative news on Wednesday, the box office on Thursday was still not affected too much, or under the cover of word-of-mouth across the board, it hit a new high, sweeping 76 million box office in four days, just from this set of data, it can be seen that "Fury Road" The box office drop of the following weekend will not be too terrible, and it may even work a miracle.

However, there was a slight surprise in the matter, after the outbreak of the patriarchal controversy, how much influence this has on male audiences, and how many viewers will really join the ranks of boycotting movies because of this controversy, which has also become the biggest uncertainty in the box office upward curve of "Fury Road".

Sure enough, after Friday's box office statistics were released, it caused a sigh.

28 million, "Fury Road" in the whirlpool of controversy, the next Friday handed over 28 million single-day box office data, if you just look at this set of data, "Fury Road" box office pulling ability is still unmatched, "The Passion of the Christ" this set of data is 22 million, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" encountered a strong challenge from competitors after the data handed over 18 million results in the same period, in comparison, 28 million is really too good, the mighty will " The dominance of the "Road to Fury" box office giant continued, barely giving "The Banshee in the Water" and "Monster House" any chance, and directly strangled the suspense of the box office list in the third week of July on Friday.

However, given the record-breaking momentum of the "Fury Road" in the Monday through Thursday work cycle, Friday's result was far from satisfactory. The 28 million next week Friday box office is far behind "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Spider-Man 2" and "The Matrix 2", and only ranks fourth on the list of film history, narrowly beating "Shrek 2".

It is clear that the pace of the "Road to Fury" has suddenly slowed down, and it happened on the first day of the weekend, which is decisive for the box office, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow, and makes people feel the strong momentum of the men's rights controversy - you must know that this is only the third day after the protests broke out, and it has directly caused the box office data to drop a big step. If you follow the upward curve from Monday to Thursday, the Friday box office of "Fury Road" should be at least 35 million, and even if it touches 36 million, it is not surprising, but now it has fallen sharply, and the upward momentum seems to hit a glass wall, full of gold stars.

Putting aside the competition between Warner Bros. and Disney, in fact, Hollywood is happy to see the "Fury Road" make history, just like works like "Murder with a Knife" and "Vice City", their success has made people see the new vitality of crime genre films, before the North American box office of "Titanic" exceeded 600 million, no one dared to imagine that the film market could reach such heights, which is a driving force for various film companies. It's good for the film industry as a whole.

The record-breaking feat of seven consecutive days after the release of "Fury Road" made people excited, but now it came to an abrupt end, and the aggrieved regret and depression caused a sigh.

Then things got worse, and after masculinism, feminism also joined the fray, and the "berserk road" offended everyone who could offend - men and women - over and over again, and the embattled denunciations were powerless to parry, and even Lance disappeared from the limelight, didn't he? What's more, as time progresses, things only show signs of continuing to deteriorate, and there is no chance of improvement, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the box office journey of "Fury Road".

However, when Saturday's box office data came out, people were stunned.

35 million, the box office of "Fury Road" on Saturday of the following week was 35 million, an increase of 25% from the previous day! Even if this result is dropped to the single-day box office chart on Saturday in the opening weekend, it can be as high as fifth place, and the rebound momentum is really too fierce and too fast to catch people off guard.

There was no room for people to breathe, and "Fury Road" then achieved a box office figure of 23 million on Sunday, which also means that the box office of the movie reached an incredible 86 million in the second week, easily leaving behind the box office record holder "Shrek 2" in film history, and the original record of 72 million was greatly raised, and the decline in the second week was only 46.5%!

Forty-six .5 percent! While the next week's box office drop of 60 percent is considered a victory, "Fury Road" handed over a 46.5% drop, which is almost the same as the decline of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in the third week, and a reference to the record of the opening weekend of "Fury Road" shows the madness of the next week's decline data.

At this moment, people's brains have completely crashed, and the collision of masculinism and feminism has become a catalyst for igniting the box office energy of "Fury Road", and in the whirlpool of controversy, more and more people who have no interest in movies have begun to enter the cinema, which also makes "Fury Road" truly break the shackles of R-rated classification and mobilize the whole of North America. Needless to say, this controversy in full swing led to the outbreak of the "Fury Road" the following week, sweeping through thousands of armies and trampling all historical records under their feet, and once again writing a series of records with their own names.

With such a momentum, not to mention "Banshee in the Water", even "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has been unable to parry, and has begun to retreat, as if it does not even have the power of a first gear, which is really unbelievable for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which just broke the box office record for its North American premiere two weeks ago. But that's the way it is, it's hot, that's what it's really hot, and "Fury Road" has become a film that everyone wants to see, needs to see, and must see, whether it's supporters, critics, or bystanders, everyone has walked into the cinema and joined this national craze.

Charlie Sheen – or the Warner Brothers, who stood behind Charlie Sheen, would never have imagined that they would stir up a dispute and make a wedding dress for someone else. (To be continued.) )
