Replaced with Arabic numerals is "", this is the Friday box office data of "Fury Road", just the single-day box office on Friday, there is no need for any language at all, and no language can come out, the numbers do not lie, the numbers are the most intuitive, no need to say more, this set of numbers is enough to sweep thousands of troops, easily pinch all the voices in the throat, surprised, questioning, praised, criticized, a set of numbers, easily end all the controversy and discussion. Draw an end.
Before the film's release, when people talked about the opening box office of "Fury Road," few were optimistic about the film's prospects, and even the New York Times only gave a forecast of 65 million — a figure for three days of the opening weekend, not to mention the San Francisco Chronicle, which generally believed that the film would be a big hit at the box office when it first opened. But now, it doesn't take three days at all, just one day, just one day, and the box office of "Fury Road" has broken through the threshold of 65 million, and it has collected 67 million! Even the Chicago Tribune, which had the most daring predictions, saw that Nancy's forecast of 85 million at the box office seemed insignificant in the face of this figure.
There is no suspense that the opening weekend box office of "Fury Road" will break the 100 million threshold, becoming the sixth film in film history to achieve such an achievement, and no one can predict how high this record will be - and no one dares to make a prediction, because Friday's single-day box office is so unbelievable that even professionals who have been up and down in Hollywood for many years are completely exhausted at this moment.
How crazy is this statistic? To put it simply, it's beyond the limits of imagination.
Just a week ago, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" set a new record of 55 million single-day box office history on Friday, and it also became the first work in film history to break the threshold of 50 million in a single day. But now, just seven days later, this record has been broken, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" not only watched "Fury Road" become the first work in film history to exceed 60 million at the box office in a single day, but was left far behind; Moreover, the record has been increased by 22 percent, not 5 percent, not 10 percent, a full 22 percent, this difference in the sky and place makes people have no intention of catching up at all, and can only look up blankly.
Since 2006, the North American single-day box office record has been broken three times in three months, the first time was "X-Men 3" broke the three-year-old record of 39 million held by "Spider-Man" with a Friday box office of 45 million, but six weeks later, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" raised this record directly from 40 million to 50 million, causing a shock; Now, just seven days later, Fury Road has made its third breakthrough, raising its record to 67 million in one fell swoop, a feat that looks almost out of reach, almost doubling the record set three months ago.
What's even more exaggerated is that the improvement of "Fury Road" is even greater than that of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" when it overtakes "X-Men 3", logically speaking, the higher the record, the more difficult it is to surpass, but I didn't expect that "Fury Road" violated the laws of the market, and set an insurmountable benchmark with a devastating attitude, and in an instant all the challengers bowed down, and the unbelievable results even made the challengers unable to breed the impact of the mind, so they could only crawl to the ground, trembling.
Before the release of Fury Road, there were many predictions, but definitely not one!
Someone once boldly included "Fury Road" in the list of this year's summer premiere box office that may exceed 100 million, after all, Lance's appeal cannot be underestimated, but this statement is like a rootless duckweed, which did not get much response, and was quickly drowned out by the negative voice of doubt. But even those who think that "Fury Road" could break 100 million in its opening weekend never dreamed of the current situation - because it is beyond common sense, beyond imagination, beyond the blueprint.
67 million, even if you look at this set of data again, the shock is still overwhelming, it is impossible to imagine that just before May this year, the highest single-day box office record in film history was only 39 million, but now? Sixty-seven million! It was as if in just three months, the whole world had been turned upside down and completely different.
What's even more interesting is that the box office of "Superman Returns" on the opening weekend was 52 million, even if the movie was released on Wednesday, the data for the three days of the weekend is bound to have an impact, but in front of the 67 million data of "Fury Road" in a single day, there is still a kind of shock that the sky is falling apart, and the gap is really too exaggerated, so that there is no strength to even anger, only a burst of bitterness and absurdity.
Faced with the new record of 67 million for "Fury Road", the North American market on Friday showed a one-sided pattern, with the two comedy films "Dwarf" and "Threesome" becoming the biggest victims, crushing the box office, with no more than 5 million in a single day, and the investment amount of 64 million and 54 million respectively in the two works, and the bleak box office on Friday seemed to have foreshadowed a tragic end - perhaps both medium-budget comedies will not be able to recoup their costs.
Sony Pictures couldn't help but let out a long breath at this time, they were originally pushed out as a pioneer to confront the "Fury Road" head-on, but after they tried their best to mediate, they successfully avoided such a tragedy. The fate of the "dwarfs" seems to be unstoppable, but this is a work that can be used as an outcast, even if it is a loss, it will not hurt, and they now have more to worry about how much the "monster house" will be affected next week.
Universal Pictures has always been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, although the box office performance of "Threesome" is lower than expected, but due to proper cost control, the hope of recovering costs is also greater than that of "Dwarf", so the worry is naturally less. What's more, Ron Meyer is now making a fortune in a muffled voice, and his letting go has recovered the effect at this time, the big explosion of "Fury Road" seems to be a certainty, and the rise of Chaos Pictures is unstoppable, and Chaos Pictures' next work is "The Incredible Hulk" in cooperation with Universal Pictures, and they are the fishermen in this summer showdown.
However, compared to Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures, the real sadness should be Disney and Warner Bros.
"Superman Returns" has entered the third week of release, and under the squeeze of "Fury Road", the single-day box office has slipped below 3 million, and all signs indicate that it is becoming more and more difficult for the North American box office of this work to break through 200 million, which also means that Warner Bros. losses continue to increase; And next week, "The Banshee in the Water" will face the strength of "Fury Road", and now Barry Meyer is not sure about the victory.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the unlucky "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", or in other words, the confident but ushered in the first "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the box office only achieved 16 million on Friday the following week, a 70% plunge over the same period, although the holiday effect on Saturday and Sunday is bound to make the box office pick up, and the final decline in the next week may be said to be slightly alleviated, but the situation is not optimistic.
As we all know, for commercial films, the box office decline in the next week is generally relatively large, especially for works that have reached more than 80 million at the box office on the opening weekend, it is not uncommon for the next week to fall by more than 50 percent, but as long as it is controlled within 60 percent, or even below 55 percent, this is a result worth celebrating. "X-Men 3" fell by as much as 67% in the second week, so in the end, the box office of the movie did not exceed 300 million.
For the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which regards 400 million in North America as a bag, it is now facing a severe test, and the super explosive power of the "Fury Road" almost accounts for more than half of the North American market, so once the decline of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" cannot be controlled below 60 percent, 400 million will really hang.
In just one Friday, the "Fury Road" set off a storm in a record-setting way, and the whole of Hollywood was plunged into chaos, and a thousand waves with one stone were not enough to express the exaggerated chain reaction within the industry, some people were happy and some were worried, and the success or failure of a work has now become the reins of the film industry, before the release of "Fury Road", who could have predicted the current situation?
Although this is what Lance has been striving for and carefully built, even Lance, when the results come out, he is not sure that all this will happen. But now, everything has become a reality!
Now, whether it's Disney or Warner Bros., the cards in their hands have been played, and the room for adjustment is really limited, and before falling into deeper passivity, they can only silently pray that the decline of "Fury Road" on Saturday and Sunday is far greater than expected, just like "X-Men 3", in the case of Friday's box office record, the opening weekend box office still failed to surpass "Spider-Man".
But, is this really possible? In the case of a comprehensive media review, Rotten Tomatoes, popcorn index, and theater ratings, will the "Fury Road" really be held back?
This deep sense of powerlessness is often seen in small and medium-sized film companies, but now Disney and Warner Bros. are tasting all sorts of things.
Under the situation that all public opinion and all voices are not optimistic, the "Furious Road" has opened a counterattack mode, not only showing a strong market dominance, but also the market appeal is far beyond imagination. (To be continued.) )
