With a drop of 35 percent and a weekend box office of 55.9 million, "Fury Road" has set a new North American box office record for three consecutive weeks, repelling "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and defeating "Banshee in the Water" with a crushing attitude, and the pace of making history cannot be stopped.

What's even more incredible is that thanks to the boiling controversy, the mid-week box office of "Fury Road" also achieved another good result, with the single-day box office from Monday to Thursday all above 10 million, which also pushed the cumulative box office of the movie in three weeks past the threshold of 400 million in one fell swoop, temporarily reaching 419 million.

Sixteen days, "Fury Road" only took 16 days to create a box office myth of 400 million in North America, shortening the 43 days of the original record holder "Shrek 2", the ferocity of the momentum is comparable to riding a rocket, just three weeks later, "Fury Road" has reached a height that countless film works can never touch, ranking among the top ten box office in North American film history, surpassing "Spider-Man" in one breath, temporarily ranking sixth, and the 431 million of "Star Wars Prequel 1" is already within range, To be more precise, the record of 600 million on the "Titanic" seems to be no longer far away.

Now, "Fury Road" has officially replaced "The Passion of the Christ" and crowned the box office champion of North American R-rated films, but people have gradually forgotten the R-rated attributes of this movie, because every footprint of "Fury Road" will now be the progress of the entire North American film market, an R-rated movie, a cult movie, and an independent film that has gone off the rails, but it has been so fiercely sought after in the mainstream market, which is bound to completely change the pattern of the film market; More recently, at the moment when computer special effects are popular, "Fury Road" abandons computer special effects, but pursues on-site shooting and on-site special effects, all of which are in real battle, and the immersive effect presented is beyond the reach of computer special effects; In addition, "Fury Road" restores the most rustic and primitive way of action movies, the fierce confrontation of the body, the effect of guns and technology is seriously weakened, but it injects a stronger adrenaline into action movies, which is the opposite of this contemporary trend, and joins forces with the "Spy" series to awaken people's craze for retro action movies.

Therefore, "Fury Road" is now not just a simple commercial film, but an extremely special author's film, it seems that every detail can feel Lance's skills and characteristics as a director, the rise of this film is like the birth of "Titanic", which is bound to subvert the entire film industry. Now the focus is on where the final height of "Fury Road" will fall, which will also determine how influential the film will be, and can it exceed 500 million? Will it be able to surpass the "Titanic"? What will happen to the overseas box office, will it be in full bloom like "Titanic", or will it be as fanatical in North America and mediocre overseas as "Star Wars"?

The sweep of "Fury Road" is a national carnival for North America, but it is a complete disaster for other movies.

There are three films premiering this week: the Warner Bros. animated film "Don't Mess with the Ants", the school comedy "John Tucker Must Die" produced by Twentieth Century Fox, and the ambitious "Miami Vice" produced by Universal Pictures.

Among them, "Miami Vice" is undoubtedly the focus of attention, this 135 million investment work, avoiding the most dense firefight area in the summer file, chose to be released in the last week of July, in the hope of catching the tail of summer and achieving box office success - although August is still a summer file, but after the previous three months of bombardment, the box office explosiveness is bound to decline. Universal Pictures invited Michael Mann to take the helm, Colin Farrell, Jamie Fox, Gong/Li and others to join, known as the international version of "Murder with a Knife", and is also considered to have a similar effect to Martin Scorsese's upcoming "Infernal Affairs" at the end of the year.

However, "Miami Vice" was a disaster, Hurricane Katrina was encountered during the filming, which caused the film to drag on for ten months, Jamie Fox also had a war of words with Michael Mann, and Colin Farrell was unable to extricate himself from drugs/addiction, which delayed the filming schedule, and later the crew accidentally encountered a shooting incident during filming...... What's worse is that in the wave of the summer file war, the promotion of "Miami Vice" has been blocked again and again, and the effect is far from meeting expectations, "Fury Road" has entered the third week of release, but "Miami Vice" is still powerless to fight.

Under the tremendous pressure of "Fury Road", "Miami Once" only handed over 25 million at the premiere box office, compared to the expensive investment costs, it is really too hard to look at directly, and what is even more terrifying is that the film critics have no mercy on this work, and the storm of criticism is overwhelming. This work also became a turning point in the careers of many casts.

After three years of silence, Michael Mann launched "The Enemy of the Public", hit the streets again, and then retired from the ranks of first-line directors; Jamie Fox was silent for six years before relying on "Django Unchained" to regain the rhythm of his performance; Colin Farrell has set off a magical record of 17 consecutive films hitting the streets since "Alexander the Great" - and even more amazingly, he still finds a job every time.

The other two new releases were also mediocre, with "John Tucker Must Die" taking home 14 million, but relative to its ultra-low cost of 18 million, the school comedy has clearly triumphed; Although the investment cost of "Don't Mess with Ants" is only 50 million, the box office of 8 million in the opening weekend is still miserable, and this work also invited Paul Giamati and Meryl Streep to dub it, but it was ignored in the publicity stage, and Warner Bros. almost tilted all its resources towards the Three Musketeers in the summer file, and it is not surprising that it ushered in the fourth failure of the year.

It is worth noting that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" handed over a 40% decline this week, and the downward curve finally stabilized, which made Disney breathe a sigh of relief, and the box office of 18 million over the weekend brought the cumulative box office of the movie to 333 million, still retaining the hope of hitting 400 million. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has obviously completely lost the showdown with "Fury Road" - this is also the most exciting result of this year's summer file, the gap between the two is comparable to the moat, and now 400 million in North America is Disney's only lifeline, at least don't let this showdown lose too ugly, they still have "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" waiting to be released!

"Banshee in the Water" performed badly in the premiere, the box office plummeted by 60% the next week, the weekend box office has slipped to 7 million, and the cumulative box office barely exceeded 30 million. If you add the "Superman Returns", which has been below 4 million at the box office this weekend, Warner Bros. is really choked enough, the latter now has a cumulative box office of only 185 million, and the bubble of 200 million dreams has finally been punctured, considering that the current overseas box office of the film is not even as good as the catastrophic performance of North America, it is certain that this 300 million work will bring at least 130 million losses to Warner Bros.

The big war in this year's summer file, it seems that at this moment, it has completely lost its meaning, even "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is out of reach, watching the "Fury Road" become more and more courageous, honestly reining in all the edges, focusing on their goals, not to mention "Superman Returns" and "Banshee in the Water". The only gain of this showdown is that it has drawn an end to the momentum showdown, power struggle, and active control of the past year, as strong as Warner Bros., as strong as Sony Pictures, and as huge as Disney, in the face of the rising momentum of Chaos Pictures, it has also been defeated, and the whole of Hollywood has been shaken.

At the beginning, the rise of DreamWorks relied on the transcendent status of Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg in the industry, and DreamWorks maintained a good cooperative relationship with other major film companies, and successfully became one of the top ranks in just two years, and five years of brewing made them become members of Hollywood's "Big Eight" as independent film companies.

But unlike DreamWorks, Chaos Pictures started completely from scratch and had almost no network support, so it was suppressed and blocked by Hollywood forces, and the competition for interests was without any mercy and softness, and it was completely a close hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. No one is optimistic about Chaos Pictures, because they are facing the blockade of the entire film industry and even the entire Wall Street forces, but who would have thought that Chaos Pictures would tear out a hole and fight a bloody road, and the ferocious posture of the bloody battle is staggering, from the Jedi counterattack of "Sin City", to the survival of "Fruit Hard Candy", and then to the destruction of "Fury Road", every step is so thrilling, as if dancing on a rope in the sky, but Chaos Pictures, under the leadership of Lance, has dedicated a thrilling, The majestic and beautiful dance strongly declares its existence.

After this year's summer season, "Rage Road" has really won a place for Chaos Pictures, and then, the attitude of major film companies towards Chaos Pictures is intriguing. It is estimated that every company needs to reposition, although they will not be timid, but compared to closing the country, the pursuit of common interests is their core goal, since Chaos Pictures can make money, they naturally do not mind choosing to cooperate.

The box office performance of North America in three weeks and four hundred million is enough to make "Fury Road" occupy a place in the long history of film, but what really defines the influence of this work is not only the final height of the North American box office, but also the performance of overseas markets.

In the fourth week of July, "Fury Road" officially landed in the British market, starting its overseas journey, and the next week, the film will also land in various markets on the European continent. (To be continued.) )
