944 Champion of Film History
For the uninitiated, how serious the constraints of R-rated movies are, this is just a vague concept, "recommended for seventeen years old and over to watch" does not seem so bad, it's just that some children can't watch it, but in fact, the most important component of the film market is the family, but when children can't watch it, it often affects parents who don't want to watch it - leaving children at home alone or asking family and friends, and then parents go to the cinema alone to watch it, it's really too troublesome, even if it's okay, They will also choose some romantic movies or comedy movies; This is just one part of the R-rated shackles, and another important point is the overseas market, many countries are reluctant to import R-rated films, especially those that do not have a film classification system or are religiously conservative.

The number of overseas countries and regions where "Titanic" was released is sixty-six, "Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens" is sixty-one, and "Avatar" is seventy-four. But for the R-rated movie "Fury Road", this set of data is forty-seven. For comparison, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is fifty-three, and "The Passion of the Christ" benefits from the controversy of religious themes, and the number of regions released is sixty-three.
To put it simply, the difference in base determines the difficulty of R-rated films to achieve good results in overseas markets.
It is precisely because of this that the performance of the overseas box office of "Fury Road" is more and more unbelievable, and the disadvantage of quantity can only be made up for by quality, which is the best expression of the overseas box office of "Fury Road".
In the British market, "Fury Road" easily made history, with a total box office of $123 million, not only becoming the third work in British history to break 100 million at the box office, but also surpassing the "Titanic" 114 million results, officially crowned the box office champion in British film history.
In the German market, "Fury Road" also hit a new high, with a cumulative box office of 100 million US dollars, although it was not able to break the record of "Titanic", but it still became the second work in German film history to break 100 million at the box office, ranking second in film history.
Not only that, "Fury Road" has achieved exceptionally good box office data in France, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, South Korea and other countries and regions, and it seems that every market is approaching the film history record of "Titanic", or "Lord of the Rings 3". In the current film history, a total of four works have exceeded one billion dollars at the global box office, and "Titanic" has achieved a unique score of 2.1 billion, followed by "Lord of the Rings 3", "Jurassic Park", and "Star Wars Prequel 1". Judging from the box office curve of "Fury Road", it seems that it has become the fifth work in film history to break one billion at the global box office, and the only suspense is: Where is the limit of this R-rated movie?
The United Kingdom and Germany are the only two overseas markets to break 100 million on the "Fury Road", in addition to France's 53 million, Italy's 67 million, Spain's 33 million, Brazil's 32 million, and Mexico's 37 million...... These achievements are eye-catching, worldwide, the box office exceeded 10 million has reached as many as 14, the excellent performance is exciting, although it can not be compared with the "Titanic" that swept thousands of troops - it is estimated that the overseas market of 1.5 billion results "Fury Road" is missing, but compared with the overseas box office of 740 million "Lord of the Rings 3", "Fury Road" is not weak, and the momentum of soaring momentum is in full bloom in various markets around the world, as if every corner can feel the power of this movie.
The biggest surprise wasn't mainland China – after all, the box office potential of this region hasn't really been tapped, and 2006 isn't 2011, it's Japan. As the world's second largest film market, Japan and the United Kingdom have been competing for this title, and at the moment in 2006, Japan's box office potential will determine the upper limit of the film's overseas market box office, "Lord of the Rings 3" Japanese box office is 94 million US dollars, and "Titanic" Japanese box office is 200 million US dollars.
Originally, professionals thought that the metal rock style of "Fury Road" and the full color close to the comics would win the love of Japanese audiences, but the ending was shocking, the final box office of "Fury Road" in Japan was only 29 million - Japan is the only region in the global box office market where "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" hangs "Fury Road", Captain Jack Sparrow has hit 84 million in this area, but "Fury Road" is only 29 million, didn't even win the box office championship for a week, and was suppressed to death, although with controversy and word of mouth, the box office performance of 20 million is still worthy of recognition, but compared with the film's sweep in other markets, the treatment of "Fury Road" in Japan is indeed cold.
Later, some people analyzed that the controversy of the "road of rage" has become a magic weapon to promote the box office in Western countries, but it is difficult to break through the blockade in Asia, and under the strong influence of Confucianism, the road to eliminating discrimination in Asia is still full of thorns. Not only Japan, but also the Korean box office of "Fury Road" is also decent, and the result of 19 million is not bad, but it is not excellent.
However, on the whole, the pace of "Fury Road" to create history has not stopped, Argentina, Colombia, Denmark, Norway, Venezuela, New Zealand and other small markets have achieved more than 7 million excellent box office, which makes people deeply feel the turbulent waves set off by this film around the world, including India, Indonesia, Singapore, China/China/Hong Kong, China/China/Taiwan/Bay, Egypt, South Africa and other regions have also handed over good answers.
679 million, and finally "Fury Road" in 47 countries and regions overseas, with a total box office of 679 million US dollars!
This achievement, in horizontal comparison, the overseas box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is 640 million, even in the case of Captain Jack Sparrow's strong charm, sequel bonus, and regional superiority, the overseas box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" still loses to "Fury Road", compared to North America, the disadvantage of this data makes Disney's chest feel even tighter - you know, Chaos Pictures' overseas distribution channels cannot be compared with Disney's, in terms of overseas market distribution, Disney simply crushed Chaos Pictures with ease, but the result was still another loss.
It is worth mentioning that the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" finally moved over the threshold of 400 million and settled at 400 million and 3 million. This also makes "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" the eighth North American 400 million work in film history, and the fifth global billion work in film history. However, the glory of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is still overshadowed in front of "Fury Road".
In horizontal comparison, the overseas box office of "Lord of the Rings 3" is 742 million, and "Titanic" is 1.528 billion, in other words, "Fury Road" surpassed the 626 million results of "Jurassic Park", ranking third in the overseas box office list in film history.
Although it has not been able to refresh the new record of the overseas box office like North America, "Fury Road" has written its own history, especially the overseas box office has once again surpassed the North American data, which once again proves that Lance, as a director, has established his status in the world and has truly become a palace-level figure.
As a result, the global box office of "Fury Road" finally reached 1.292 billion, which is not only Lance's fourth personal North American 200 million-level work, but also really pushed Lance's career to an incomparable peak, the sixth film in film history - after "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" - the global breakthrough of one billion works, what is even more commendable is that with the crazy performance of the North American market, "Fury Road" surpassed "Lord of the Rings 3" in one go, and ranked second on the historical list of the global box office. Just behind James Cameron's end-of-the-century box office bomb "Titanic".
After experiencing the bombardment of the entire summer file, the vicissitudes of life. The top three box office lists in North American film history are "Fury Road", "Titanic", and "Star Wars"; The top three box office lists in overseas film history are, "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings 3", and "Fury Road"; The comprehensive global box office champions, runners-up and third runners-up have been updated, "Titanic", "Fury Road", and "Lord of the Rings 3".
No. 1 in North America, third overseas, and second in the world, the box office answer of "Fury Road" is perfect, setting up an almost insurmountable peak!
If you want to count the records set by the "Fury Road", it is enough to fill two large sheets of paper, from North America to Africa, on five continents; From the opening weekend to the box office accumulation speed, explosiveness and durability prevail in an all-round way; From topicality to attention, the propaganda strategy has become a cross-era mark...... But the real magic of this movie lies in the unbelievable cult style and the groundbreaking breaking of discrimination, there is no doubt that "Fury Road" will become a unique and beautiful landscape in the long river of the movie, which has nothing to do with the record, and has nothing to do with the times.
What's even more incredible is that the investment of 150 million in exchange for the global box office of 1.29 billion, Chaos Pictures has strongly entered the six major ranks of Hollywood with just this work - although the current Chaos Pictures is still too shallow, no one can deny that this independent film company has shown a stronger competitiveness than DreamWorks, not only every work can be profitable, but every work can achieve explosive profits, and every previous work is like this, and " Fury Road" - although there are no detailed statistics - is tentatively estimated to bring more than 500 million in profits to Chaos Pictures.
Billion? Half a billion dollars in one work? This is simply too shocking, and it immediately attracted an exclamation from all the media in North America:
Hollywood's seventh-largest player has officially risen! (To be continued.) )
