Brad Pitt's heart is broken, "Troy" has been united and watched from the preparation stage, and almost everyone believes that this work will be able to achieve explosive effect. People are expecting the North American box office of "Troy" to exceed 400 million, at least 300 million is the bottom line, while the global box office is 600 million, and 700 million is the normal goal, so in the filming stage, the movie does not hesitate to spend costs and expenses, and does its best to create a brilliant epic masterpiece!

To be honest, when everyone was hyping the box office showdown between "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", he was dismissive because the two works were not on the same level at all; When "The Day After Tomorrow" premiered well, he was confident, and he firmly believed that "Troy" could achieve even better results; When Lance appeared at the premiere of "Troy" in person, he was disdainful, especially since he quickly understood Lance's true intentions, and the contempt that followed the anger filled him with confidence.

But now, his self-confidence is falling apart little by little, like a corgi lost in a hurricane and isolated, trembling and trying to retreat step by step into his fortress of safety, but he can't find a clear path at all, and even if he runs fast, his little short legs are still far away.

With every publicity, the shame in his heart was like a loud slap, one after another, ruthlessly and loudly crushing him. The "Day After Tomorrow" crew didn't do much publicity at all, as if it had won a response from the entire market without much effort; But the "Troy" crew had to spend a lot of time and energy traveling around the world, and he had to squeeze out a sexy/sexy and attractive smile to win the hearts of more audiences, but the effect was still not satisfactory.

In the dead of night, he felt very cheap.

The global campaign of "Troy" has spread to every corner of the five continents, including Africa. Even seeing the excellent performance of "The Day After Tomorrow" in the mainland Chinese market, Warner Bros. also won the qualification for the release of the film, but unfortunately, the effect was still not satisfactory, and the total box office in the final mainland China was only 4 million US dollars, which was lower than the first week of "The Day After Tomorrow". Even the use of "standing on the street to sell/laugh" is not enough to describe Brad's inner insanity.

"Troy" was released in 51 countries around the world, and the final box office was undoubtedly the German market, where the film won $29 million at the box office, but unfortunately did not exceed 30 million. This also means that no region in the overseas market has achieved a box office of 30 million, so this is a humiliation for a giant crocodile with an investment of 175 million.

But compared to the tables in other countries and regions, the box office figures in Germany are not so bad. Except for Germany. Japan, the United Kingdom, Spain and South Korea are the best countries and regions in the overseas market, and these are only five regions where "Troy" has grossed more than $20 million overseas. This result was not only far lower than expected, unable to match the momentum of "Troy", but also hit the crew hard, and the road to recovering costs became extremely long, with no end in sight.

The only consolation for the "Troy" crew is that the film has managed to reach the top five overseas markets at the box office in Japan and South Korea, which also proves that Brad and Orlando's efforts in Asia have not been in vain, and these are only two regions where the effort is directly proportional to the gain.

It's a pity that even so. There is still no way to make the overseas box office of "Troy" break through the 300 million threshold. Following the shattering of the "300 million" dream at the North American box office, the "300 million" dream of the film's overseas box office has also been completely stranded. The overseas box office of "Troy" finally stopped at 260 million US dollars, including Australia, France and Italy, and only eight countries and regions exceeded the 10 million threshold at the overseas box office, which became the most direct response to the film's overseas box office failure.

It can be seen that not only in the United States, but in fact, "Troy" has been in the cold in all major overseas regions, including Germany and Japan, and the results are far below expectations. So. This is not just a question for North American film critics, but also needs to be answered from the works.

To make matters worse, the Chicago Tribune broke the news, said director Wolfgang Peterson. The released version was not the one he was most satisfied with, and the director's cut version should have added at least twenty-four minutes of content. These twenty-four minutes will play a crucial role in the development of the character of Achilles.

In other words, Wolfgang's remarks were a denunciation of the dereliction of duty of Warner Bros., Project B Pictures, and Diorama Pictures, and the loss of editing rights ultimately made Wolfgang lose control of his work.

Although this statement was quickly clarified by Wolfgang, he said that the release version was the result of a joint decision between him and the production company. But even so, the rumors have not been completely eliminated. This is undoubtedly worse for the box office results of "Troy".

Of course, compared with the "Troy" North American box office, the overseas box office of the movie is undoubtedly a shot in the arm, which also makes "Troy" avoid becoming another shipwreck tragedy after the "Future Water World", at least the box office is also a "300 million" level seed player, compared to the book cost of 175 million, "Troy" has also achieved profitability!

However, this is just to fool the layman, and the results that seem to be "making a lot of money" in terms of jù will not at least not make Brad lose face; But real insiders clearly know that Warner Bros. can already calculate losses, after deducting theatrical dividends, deducting crew costs, deducting publicity expenses, etc., the high risk brought by such a high investment as "Troy" is already crumbling at this time, and the only thing they can pray for is not to make a profit, but to lose as little as possible.

In stark contrast to the weakness of the "Trojan" overseas market, it is the "day after tomorrow" that is becoming more and more courageous.

After carefully analyzing the box office statistics in overseas markets, it is not difficult to find an answer: "the day after tomorrow" has completed the comprehensive suppression of "Troy" in the main market, especially the excellent performance of the box office market in mainland China, which has made everyone's eyes shine.

"The Day After Tomorrow" won $30 million at the box office in mainland China, which also made "The Day After Tomorrow" surpass the 160 million people/people/currency of "Kung Fu", becoming the first work in the history of Chinese/Chinese film with a box office exceeding 200 million people/people/currency, proudly writing an eye-catching historical record. No one expected that the Chinese mainland market would burst out with such a powerful energy, and it would become one of the four regions in the "day after tomorrow" overseas market that achieved a box office of 30 million US dollars, which ignited the enthusiasm of the eight major Hollywood film companies almost overnight.

This land full of countless possibilities has once again entered the sight of Hollywood and Wall Street!

In addition to mainland China, "The Day After Tomorrow" also achieved more than 30 million box office in Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany, of which Japan has become the largest box office in overseas regions, although the crew did not personally arrive in Japan to promote, but the Japanese market's pursuit of disaster movies continued, and finally "The Day After Tomorrow" swept the box office of 49 million US dollars here, smiling proudly.

The stark difference between the two works "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy" in the Japanese market is not only shocking, but also leaves Warner Bros. speechless - even complaining, even jealousy, even resentment, it is difficult to find the right words to express it.

Not only Japan, but also the "day after tomorrow" also recovered $47 million in the United Kingdom, while the German box office was as high as $36 million, easily surpassing the corresponding number of "Troy". In these four countries alone, "The Day After Tomorrow" won more than $160 million at the box office, more than half of the total overseas box office of "Troy".

Crushing momentum!

In addition, the box office of "The Day After Tomorrow" in nine countries and regions, including Australia, Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and Russia, has also crossed the 10 million threshold, of which Mexico, France, Spain, and South Korea have all exceeded $20 million.

In particular, Mexico erupted with a $25 million box office figure of the year, sparking a lot of discussion.

The numbers never lie, and the "day after tomorrow" has achieved a comprehensive suppression of "Troy" in various countries and regions around the world, from Britain to Mexico, from Germany to South Korea, from France to Japan, from Spain, Italy to Australia, and even Russia has completed a strong suppression, and even Egypt and South Africa have taken the lead at the box office.

People no longer discuss how strong the dark horse of the "day after tomorrow" is, and people no longer discuss how exciting the box office duel between "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy" is, as if the situation of "the day after tomorrow" suppressing "Troy" has become a habit, and even a matter of course.

This is the real sign of the decline of "Troy".

In the end, "The Day After Tomorrow" was released in 64 countries and regions overseas, and achieved a box office of 430 million US dollars - not only easily defeated "Troy", but also strongly broke through the 400 million threshold, becoming the first overseas box office to exceed 400 million since 2004.

It is unimaginable that "The Day After Tomorrow", which is widely regarded as cannon fodder for the warm-up, has exploded with such amazing energy, and even showed box office pulling momentum comparable to works such as "Shrek 2" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". Such a box office table is undoubtedly a hearty victory for disaster movies that have gradually declined, and has detonated all the hot topics of discussion.

The excellent performance of the overseas market is projected to the North American market, and the duo of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy" has completely become a one-man show! (To be continued.) )
