After flying to Vancouver, Canada, Murphy and the crew continued to participate in various activities to increase the exposure of the film to attract more audiences to the theater, such as TV interviews and media interviews, as well as interacting with fans on the Internet and live events, which are some of the common methods of promotion.

"Dark City" also began its third week of release in North America, and in the previous ten days, the film has taken $466.84 million from North America, which means that more than 50 million North American viewers have seen the film in this era of only $8.3 average ticket price.

Although there is still a considerable gap between the potential 150 million movie consumers in North America, it is impossible for a film to be liked by everyone, and after this period of screening, "Dark City" cannot get rid of the inherent market rules, and the popularity and momentum gradually slowed down.

This new Monday, the single-day box office of "Dark City" dropped to $11 million; On Tuesday, Murphy's arrival in Vancouver, the box office increased slightly due to traditional theatrical discount days, earning $12.6 million; By Wednesday, the film's single-day box office had slipped again, to $10.3 million; By Thursday, "Dark City" had fallen below $10 million for the first time at the single-day box office, closing at $9.8 million.

Before the third weekend, after 15 days of screenings, "The Dark City" grossed $510.54 million in North America, breaking the original North American box office record of $500 million in 23 days for "The Avengers" with a score of $500 million in 14 days.

Despite the incredible box office speed of "Dark City", it will face a series of competitors next.

On May 16, Paramount Pictures' "Star Trek 2: Darkness Unbounded" was released; On May 23, Summit Entertainment's "Shocking Demon Thieves" will join the summer team; On May 31, Sony Columbia Pictures' super-masterpiece "Shocking Crisis" grabbed the Memorial Day slot......

"The film 'Shocking,'" Kara Firth said, retracting her gaze from the window, looking at Murphy, "Sony Columbia Pictures invested $150 million in production costs, plus a whopping $80 million in publicity and distribution costs......"

This is the voyage back to Los Angeles, the last stop of the crew's promotion in North America, Carla Firth flew to Seattle to hold a small $500 million celebration on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox, and the box office results of $500 million are enough to make "Dark City" among the top five at the North American box office!

In fact, in front of "Dark City", there are only three films left: "The Avengers", "Titanic" and "Avatar".

However, the North American box office of the three films is high enough, and it is not easy to surpass them, "The Avengers" is $623.35 million, "Titanic" is $658.67 million, and "Avatar" is $760.5 million!

Hearing Carla Fez's words, Murphy came back to his senses and said, "Sony Columbia Pictures is really big." ”

"Sony Columbia Pictures is trying to save itself." Carla Firth is very knowledgeable about the situation in the industry, "Although "The Amazing Spider-Man" has recouped its costs and has some profits, it is far from meeting the expectations of Sony Columbia Pictures, and they can only find a way to create a brand for other series, otherwise it will ......"

Carla Firth shrugged and shook her head again, "This time they brought in Roland Emmerich, as well as Channing Tatum and Jamie Fox co-starring, plus the topical theme of the capture of the White House, there is still some hope of success." ”

Murphy doesn't want to see Sony Columbia Pictures succeed, but the other party is also one of the six major Hollywood companies, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, "They had better lose money and jump off the building." ”

"It's not easy to win Sony Columbia Pictures." Carla Firth had long known Murphy's thoughts, and lowered her voice and said, "Sony Entertainment will not be easily divested and sold. ”

"I know." How could Murphy not be aware of this, asking, "Is The Amazing Spider-Man in the making of a second part?" ”

"Hmm." Carla Firth nodded, "It is said that filming is already underway, and it is estimated that it will be released in the summer next year." ”

Murphy frowned slightly, "Next year's summer file, ......"

If it goes according to normal conditions, Sony Columbia Pictures killed Gervin Stacy of Sister Stone in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", and the series will die, and Spider-Man will suffer the lowest point since its birth......

And then what? Then Sony Columbia Pictures found Marvel Studios, and the little spider was rescued by Marvel Dafa and appeared in "Captain America 3" with an unusually stunning attitude.

Sony Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios immediately launched a new "Spider-Man" series, and also deliberately branded the name "The Return", and brought in Iron Man Tony Stark to help......

Although Murphy didn't see this film, he thought with his toes and knew that as long as the quality of the film was above the passing line, the box office would definitely not be bad, and Sony Columbia Pictures would take advantage of this to temporarily get out of the predicament, at least for another five or six years or even ten years.

"How can you make Sony, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios not cooperate?"

This can be said to be the key, Murphy needs to think about it and find the right opportunity, he knows very well that "Spider-Man" is important to the whole of Marvel, once Sony Columbia Pictures proposes to let the little spider return to the Marvel family, Marvel is very unlikely to refuse.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't find any clue, and this kind of thing couldn't be solved in a while, so he simply threw it aside for the time being.

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy's publicity work came to an end for the time being, and even though Gal Gadot was still running around in the Far East and his home seemed a little deserted, he still hid in the manor, leaving the high-walled compound and tight security isolated from the media, except for caring about the box office of "Dark City", he basically ignored work matters for the time being, and entered a short vacation.

"Dark City" also spent its third weekend in the North American theatrical market, and also welcomed a very strong competitor to "Star Trek 2: Dark", one of the most famous sci-fi film and television series in the world, which has developed a history of more than 50 years and has cultivated a large number of loyal fans.

The latest release of "Dark" is the second installment of the reboot series, and in the three days of the weekend, it earned $21.62 million, $26.94 million and $21.6 million respectively, earning nearly $71 million at the North American opening weekend box office.

This box office figure can be said to be quite good, but it is powerless to stop "Dark City" from achieving three consecutive North American box office titles, "Dark City" in the past three days, respectively, slashed $22.6 million, $27.5 million and $23.1 million, and continued to lead the North American box office charts with $73.2 million.

So far, the North American box office of "Dark City" has reached $583.74 million!

$600 million in North America is just around the corner!

At the same time, the overseas box office is also growing by leaps and bounds, and the film's release has expanded to 111 regions, collecting more than $260 million in a week last week.

The global box office of "Dark City" has approached $1.5 billion, reaching $1,467.56 million, gradually approaching "The Avengers", which ranks third in the global box office, and it is inevitable to surpass the global box office of "The Avengers" of $1,518.81 billion.

On the other hand, "Dark City" has always been at the highest level of praise both in terms of audience reputation and media evaluation.

Even after three weeks of release, the film's CinemaScore has always been firmly at the A+ level, and the number of media reviews included in MetaCritic has exceeded 110, but the comprehensive score is still as high as 88 points!

The two most representative websites on the Internet, Rotten Tomatoes, have more than 100 film critics, with a freshness of 95% and an average score of 8.9!

On IMDB, fans are even more like crazy to give "Dark City" praise and high scores, although over time, the number of people who see the film has doubled, and the number of rating users on IMDB has also increased more than ten times, and the average score of "Dark City" will inevitably gradually decrease, but the average user score of IMDB is still as high as 9.5 points!

Such a super high score also makes "Dark City" unnecessarily overwhelm films such as "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption", and ranks first in the TOP250 list of the IMDB website without any suspense!

With such an excellent reputation, "Dark City" is destined to be an extremely dazzling existence, even if some people want to ignore it.

Looking at the super high rating of "Dark City" on the IMDB website, Christian Franklin frowned, the box office and reputation of this film are simply amazing, and the box office will completely surpass "The Avengers" at most next week, and then go straight to "Titanic" and "Avatar......

But the box office is not what he cares about the most, IMDB's score is, "Dark City" has a score of 9.5 points, firmly surpassing "The Shawshank Redemption" and snatching the first place in the TOP250 list!

Christian Franklin is not only a very die-hard fan of "The Shawshank Redemption", but also the discussion group leader in the IMDB section.

In the hearts of their group, "The Shawshank Redemption" is not a movie, but a faith!

The faith on the scene was challenged, how could Christian Franklin be willing, the TOP250 ranking of "The Shawshank Redemption", but at the beginning, he mobilized countless fans and gave "The Godfather" countless ultra-low scores to grab it, how can it be given to a purely commercial film like "The Dark City" in vain?

"Dark City" wants to take the first place in the TOP250, have you asked them the fans of "The Shawshank Redemption"?
