937 Summer Storm
With 36 million, "Fury Road" landed in the United Kingdom and won the first battle, not only easily surpassing the 25 million premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" three weeks ago, but also easily breaking the box office record for the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", making a good start.

What's even more incredible is that the ripple effect of the UK premiere of "Fury Road" across the European continent is spreading virally, and the advantages of the Internet age are being fully exploited at this moment, making people truly feel the imprint of the 21st century, and the momentum of this work can hardly find a competitor to parry, and it is easy to declare domination this summer.
Not only in North America, but also in the overseas market of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will be further encroached upon by the "Fury Road", Disney, one of the six major Hollywood studios, has been chased and beaten by the "Fury Road" of Chaos Pictures in various markets, and the scene is not embarrassing, and it is not a casual work - such as the full-scale "Superman Returns", but the box office success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which makes Disney more and more devastation.
Fortunately, the overseas distribution of "Fury Road" is not very strong, and it has not been able to be released overseas and North America simultaneously, which leaves enough time and space for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to sweep the overseas box office.
Sure enough, in the first week of August, "Fury Road" finally started the full premiere, and 18 countries and regions around the world became the first batch of full releases.
Under the watchful eye, the overseas box office market began to hand over the answer sheet one by one.
Germany, record-breaking victory! Italy, record-breaking victory! France, record-breaking victory! Brazil, record-breaking victory! Mexico, record-breaking victory! In addition to this, there are Argentina, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey...... In a total of 14 countries and regions, "Fury Road" easily broke the box office record of its own opening weekend, and the momentum of the devastation was jaw-dropping, even if you are mentally prepared, you are still frightened by this strong performance.
All 18 countries and regions won the championship, 14 of which broke the national premiere record, and coupled with the incredible 27% drop in the United Kingdom the following week, the overseas box office of "Fury Road" won 167 million US dollars in one go, leaving "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" far behind this week's 42 million, and was crowned the overseas box office champion in the first week of August with an absolute advantage.
At the same time, this box office result also officially surpassed the 155 million achieved by the overseas premiere weekend of "The Da Vinci Code", becoming the best overseas weekend box office result this year, once again taking a step forward in setting his own record. What's even more incredible is that "The Da Vinci Code" has received such a box office in 26 countries and regions, but "Fury Road" has only been released in 18 countries and regions, and has handed over such data, and it has not yet been released in important markets such as Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, and Russia.
Exclamations from all over the world were repeated, and the newspaper Bild carried the headline "Lancelot-Strello blazes a trail of rage on the German market"; "The Times" exclaimed, "The record is about to be broken: the cumulative box office in two weeks is 73 million, and the 'Fury Road' is surpassing the 'Titanic' at the speed of light"; The five exclamation marks in the title of "Le Figaro" can tell their mood at the moment, "The king is coming!" Rewriting the box office record for French premieres, 'Fury Road' dominates the film market this summer"; The Yomiuri Shimbun is desperately calling for "When will the 'Fury Road' come to our cinemas in the forgotten Asian market"; "Another 'Titanic'-style miracle?' Can the Road of Fury create the second feat of overseas box office billion in film history", "The Australian" can't wait to start looking to the future......
More than 700 newspapers and magazines around the world have reported on the overseas promotion of "Fury Road", and countless records have been set in the first week of its overseas premiere. According to Google's search engine, the search keywords related to "Fury Road" have firmly occupied the top of the search rankings in the past week, and occupied seven positions in the top ten, and the discussion has not weakened at all; Even major TV stations have begun to cast their eyes on the "Fury Road", this movie is deviating from the track of summer movies, speeding in an unknown direction, and the depth of influence is so wide that even the "Titanic" cannot be compared.
Those countries and regions that have already watched the work have expressed their opinions and opinions, and with the rise of the children of war, the momentum has not diminished but risen, and it has become more and more popular; Those countries and regions that have not been released are calling for this work, just hoping to see this work as soon as possible, but unfortunately, it is obvious that not all countries and regions can release this work, for example, China/mainland China.
"Fury Road" is constantly making history, due to its cult nature and R-rated definition, every footprint will be a feat that breaks the traditional concept of film, but it also means that the film will also be completely out of contact with many countries and regions. For example, in Iran, Pakistan and other places, their governments directly refused the permission to release the film, cutting off the possibility of screening from the source, but even so, there were still a large number of local protests and protests, lashing out at the "road of rage"; For another example, in mainland China, Chaos Pictures submitted "Fury Road" for review, but unfortunately failed to pass the review, not only because the film's cult style deviated far from normal aesthetics, but also because the film's bloody violence and personality cult elements touched the sensitive nerves of some people, this work, which was hailed as "political correctness" in North America, was defined as politically incorrect here and labeled as "misleading teenagers", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can be said to be difficult brothers and sisters- The latter also failed to pass the trial and will not have the opportunity to meet the audience in mainland China.
It is precisely because of this "ban" that the discussion of the "road of rage" has spread indiscriminately around the world, and the more you can't see it, the more curious you become. Invisibly, there are more and more children of war on the Internet, and the discussion is becoming more and more turbulent.
Needless to say, the Fury Road is taking the world by storm.
In the second week of August, "Fury Road" really ushered in a bombardment, with 39 countries and regions released worldwide, except for Japan, all major markets made their debut, and the box office performance was red across the board, and all 39 countries and regions successfully reached the top, and the previous 18 countries and regions all completed the championship, and then increased the number of countries and regions that broke the box office record of their own premiere weekend to 29, sweeping the overseas market with an undoubted strong performance.
171 million, the overseas box office of "Fury Road" did not fall but rose in the second week, not only the countries and regions where it premiered achieved good results, but also the countries and regions where it was released the next week also controlled the box office decline in a gratifying position, easily raising the best overseas box office results of the year created by "Fury Road" last week by another notch, and the strong vision of overseas box office won two consecutive championships.
You must know that the overseas box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in the first week and the next week was 46 million and 57 million respectively, and the cumulative box office in two weeks reached 124 million, this achievement was created without any competitors, considering that the release method of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was also slowly expanded locally, and the first two weeks were only released in 16 and 19 countries and regions respectively, so the follow-up box office of the movie is still worth looking forward to. But there is no gap without comparison, and under the strong performance of "Fury Road", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is really bleak.
Originally, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was a strong contender for the annual box office championship in North America this year, but it was beaten by "Fury Road", Disney could only put all its hopes in the overseas market, after all, relying on the popularity of the previous work, the energy of the sequel work can often prevail, but now it seems that they are still losing in the face of the strength of "Fury Road" - if they lose to other competitors of the six major film companies, then it is understandable that the victory or defeat between them is a common thing for soldiers, But overwhelmed by Chaos Pictures? The competition in this year's summer file really made Disney feel aggrieved.
In just two weeks, the cumulative overseas box office of "Fury Road" has reached 410 million US dollars, and such a soaring speed has even exceeded the results of the same period in North America, making people clearly see the absolute domineering of this work sweeping thousands of troops. What is certain is that "Fury Road" will usher in a new chapter in R-rated movies and cult films, and the glory of "The Passion of the Christ" is history, so how many more works will become the ghosts under the wheels of "Fury Road"?
Undertaker.
This is the nickname given by the "New York Times" to "Fury Road", not only because this work has already collected countless records, but also because this work has broken countless fixed concepts, devastated those classics of film history, and constantly pushed its historical status upward, such a feat is worthy of being called a "mourner". Now, everyone is looking forward to the next goal of the Fury Road:
"Titanic"? (To be continued.) )
