1004 Brilliant Year
Compared to the past few years, Lance has significantly less action in 2006, with almost no extra activity except for one "Fury Road", but just one "Fury Road" is enough. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Throughout 2006, there is no single work that can compete with the "Fury Road", from box office data to word-of-mouth communication, from topic focus to follow-up impact, comprehensive coverage, and more importantly, the impact of this work on the film industry, the drive of social public opinion, and the subversion of pop culture are immeasurable, which has surpassed the "Titanic" and become the most sensational and shocking monument since the advent of "Star Wars"! This is true even as North America has seen the dawn of 2007.
With a box office of 613 million in North America and a box office of 1.292 billion worldwide, "Fury Road" has won the championship of the North American year-end box office list and the global year-end box office list without any suspense.
This is the second time in film history since "Shrek 2" in 2004 that the year-end box office champion in North America and the world is not controlled by the six major film companies, the last time it completed such a feat was DreamWorks, but unfortunately it ended up split less than fifteen months after "Shrek 2" made history; And what about Chaos Pictures, which has written a miracle this time? At least for now, the action-packed Chaos Pictures is still showing a thriving and thriving appearance, and the new top Hollywood player is rolling up his sleeves and ready to make a big move.
In the face of the excellent performance of "Fury Road", all competitors can only sigh, the huge gap can not be made up at all, open up their competition only for the position of the runner-up of the year, in the "runner-up battle", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" successfully laughed to the end.
Before its release, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was undoubtedly one of the most watched works in 2006, and many people were optimistic that this work would win the year-end championship, and the fact was that the movie broke the "Spider-Man" film history record on the opening weekend, showing the domineering of who else is self-serving, but unfortunately, it met the more powerful "Fury Road" and achieved the latter's miracle myth, the "runner-up" hat was so dead that it was almost out of breath. Despite this, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" still relied on Captain Jack Sparrow's super popularity and achieved extremely excellent results, and the eighth film in film history broke 400 million in North America, which is enough to make it stand above 10,000 people under one person.
400 million and 3 million, although it is only barely over the line, but the outstanding performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" still managed to make 2006 the first year in North American film history to have two 400 million works in the same year, creating history, which is a rare progress for the entire North American market.
Except for Disney's somewhat bitter smile, everyone else applauded the result, including Warner Bros., which failed miserably in the summer.
Due to the outbreak of "Fury Road" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", almost all the potential of the film market was drained, so that after that, no work was able to achieve a North American box office of 300 million, and the third place in the year-end list only achieved a box office of 250 million, and there is still a long way to go from 300 million, but the work that won the title of third place broke out a big upset, and the "Wonderful Night at the Museum" released during the Christmas schedule was widely praised after its release, replicating the miracle of "Meet Your Father-in-law" the year before last. became the biggest winner of this year's comedy film - the actor Ben Stiller also reached the peak of his career.
After that, "Cars", "X-Men 3", "The Da Vinci Code", and "Superman Returns" occupied the fourth to seventh places, respectively. With "Superman Returns" as a watershed, the North American box office of a total of seven films in 2006 reached the level of 200 million, which is lower than last year and better than the year before.
It is precisely because of this that the outbreak of "Fury Road" has caused a sensation throughout Hollywood - can R-rated movies also create such heights? Cult style can also be accepted by the mainstream market? Is the apocalyptic theme work new in filming? Will action movies that return to retro have more markets? Is the awakening of female audiences a flash in the pan or an overall trend?
And so on, it can be said that the success of "Fury Road" has made Hollywood see the possibility of further tapping the film market, which is also the fundamental reason why Chaos Pictures and Lance can quickly stand on the top - interests, in the final analysis, are interests.
There is also an interesting detail, among the top seven in the North American year-end list, the works with the highest investment are "Superman Returns" and "X-Men 3", the investment of both works has crossed the threshold of 200 million, but the two works with the highest losses are also the only two works in the top seven that are facing losses.
After the "Titanic", the higher the investment, the higher the return of the law is fading the magic color, the rational investment advocated by Chaos Pictures is entering people's attention, after the advent of the "Furious Road", Lance for the first time put forward the concept of "100 million to 150 million investment range", which is undoubtedly an earthquake level turmoil for Hollywood. It is no exaggeration to say that Lance is changing Hollywood bit by bit, some people are not aware of it, some people are aware of it, but even if they do, they don't seem to care, but open their arms and enthusiastically welcome this change.
After that, the remaining three seats in the top 10 of the North American year-end box office list were divided by "Happy Feet", "Ice Age 2" and "007: Casino Royale".
These three works have undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, aside from the theme highlights of the two cartoons themselves, "Happy Feet" is directed by George Miller, the director who is dedicated to the film has really been a good job this year, "Mad Max 4: Fury Road" has brought him back to the public eye, and "Happy Feet" is a testament to his excellent directing ability, this work has even surpassed Pixar's "Cars" and is considered the best animated film of the year.
The outstanding performance of "Ice Age 2" proves that Blue Sky Studios is not a fleeting meteor, and they are still capable of creating excellent sequels to further compete with Pixar and DreamWorks. Especially in the case of the split of DreamWorks and the acquisition of Pixar, the existence of Blue Sky Studios has made the battle for the North American animation market begin to heat up.
The biggest success of "007: Casino Royale" is not the 167 million North American box office, strictly speaking, although the overseas box office performance is also very gratifying, and the investment of 150 million has successfully achieved profitability, but the most important thing for Sony Pictures is the revival of the series, "Casino Royale" has almost reached its peak in a wave of praise, which is the most outstanding 007 series of works in the past 20 years, which undoubtedly gives Sony Pictures great confidence. Obviously, in the subsequent competition, Sony Pictures officially began to call out to Warner Bros.
Just from the year-end top 10 list, it can be seen that Paramount and Universal are undoubtedly the biggest losers, none of their works make it to the top 10, and they have begun to fall behind in the fierce competition; Twentieth Century Fox and Disney had the last laugh, with the former owning "Night at the Museum", "X-Men 3" and "Ice Age 2", while the latter produced "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Cars" in the top four.
Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures also grabbed two spots each in the top 10, but they were in very different situations. Sony Pictures won the future, "The Da Vinci Code" and "Casino Royale" performed well, and they also held the rights to adapt the follow-up of these two works, and the future is promising; But Warner Bros. has suffered a lot of losses, the loss of "Superman Returns", and "Happy Feet" are simply not enough to make up for it, if it weren't for the brilliant performance of the awards season, Warner Bros. would have been even more embarrassed.
Of course, Chaos Pictures is still the biggest winner.
A closer look at the list reveals more interesting things. Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures were the main forces that began to join forces to ban Chaos Pictures in the second half of last year, and the shift in focus made them gain more than they lost; Twentieth Century Fox and Disney are more on the sidelines, although the latter has also participated in some activities because of the involvement of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", but Robert Iger has just taken over the company, and has focused more on Pixar's acquisition and internal integration, and the results are obvious; Paramount and Universal are currently the closest companies to Chaos Pictures, which is developing a videotape rental channel and a DVD distribution channel, and Paramount has provided a lot of help, while Universal Pictures and Chaos Pictures are in full swing to shoot "The Incredible Hulk".
Past, present, future. The impact on each other is clearly visible; The changes in attitudes and strategies of major companies are clear at a glance. Even if you don't want to admit it, the facts are there: the entanglement between Chaos Pictures and the Big Six is already on the stage of history - although no one can predict what the future holds.
Needless to say, this was a great year for Chaos Pictures, or to put it more accurately, a great year for Lance. It's unimaginable that Lance has supported Chaos Pictures with his own strength, and has accomplished such an incredible feat by himself, stirring up the entire Hollywood bloodshed. The gears of history have clockwork, and now people will be watching this show with their eyes wide open.
Similarly, when the global year-end box office rankings are released, this vein can still be felt, and the world influence of Chaos Pictures has quietly completed the germination stage and entered the stage of thriving. In such a short period of time, Chaos Pictures has grown into a formidable force that no one can ignore.
