1005 Thrive
Compared with the North American market, the overseas market is much more complex, and each country and region has its own characteristics due to cultural, religious, regional, social, and even legal differences, which also makes the exploration of overseas markets full of many variables. Even Disney, which focuses on family fun www.biquge.info often struggles to achieve excellent results in the Japanese and Chinese/Chinese markets, and more often than not, action movies and disaster movies based on computer special effects can win more box office.
That's why overseas markets are tougher for small and medium-sized studios – the genre of their work is more restricted. However, in the past few years, Chaos Pictures has shown superior overseas market exploration capabilities, such as the "City of God" that has exploded thanks to the South American market, the "acquired day" that is very popular in China, the "Sin City" that has successfully set off a boom in Japan and Europe with its artistic image style, and the "Fruit Hard Candy" that has pushed the deterrent power of the lens to the extreme......
Among all the current works of Chaos Pictures, except for "Sin City", every other work has a higher overseas box office than the North American box office, a feat that has really caught the attention of the six major studios. Large companies like Warner Bros. and Disney have distinct styles and relatively fixed strategies, and it is difficult to conquer different markets with a variety of styles like Chaos Pictures. The same traits, sometimes they are advantages, sometimes they are disadvantages.
"Fury Road" is no exception, although the film's performance in Asia is lagging behind "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", but the dominance shown in other regions is staggering, and some people even speculated whether "Fury Road" can become the second overseas box office to exceed one billion after "Titanic". In the end, it was still subject to the shackles of R-grade classification and was unable to create such a feat, but the overseas box office of the film still delivered a perfect answer again, with a score of 679 million, surpassing the North American box office of the movie, once again continuing the unique appeal of Chaos Pictures overseas.
The global box office of 1.292 billion is only one step away from 1.3 billion, but unfortunately it has not been able to make history again, but this data is enough to give the "Road of Fury" a glimpse of the mountains.
Behind "Fury Road", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "The Da Vinci Code", "Ice Age 2", "007: Casino Royale", "Night at the Museum", "Cars", "X-Men 3", "Mission Impossible 3", "Superman Returns" and other works successfully ranked among the top 10 global box office charts at the end of 2006.
A cursory glance at the list shows an obvious fact that "Mission Impossible 3" replaced "Happy Feet" and successfully occupied a place in the top ten, which also shows the characteristics of overseas markets - sequel movies often have a greater pull effect, and at the same time, Hollywood's star effect has a fatal attraction to overseas markets, which is also a direct reflection of the influence of the United States as the most developed region in the global entertainment industry.
Not only "Mission Impossible 3", but also "The Da Vinci Code" led by Tom Hanks, the reboot of the 007 series "Casino Royale", and the stunning sequels of the previous work "Ice Age 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the performance in the overseas market is better than the North American list, and even the "X-Men 3" and "Superman Returns", two works with poor reputation, have also shown good results at the overseas box office and retained their top ten seats.
In contrast, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" as a comedy, the overseas pull momentum is obviously insufficient, although this work almost does not reflect the laughter of American culture, and is more humorous with whimsy that the public can empathize with, and its overseas box office revenue of 320 million has also exceeded that of North America, but on the whole, the explosiveness and staying power are still not as good as the famous series such as "Casino Royale".
In addition, the impact of word-of-mouth evaluations from North America on the overseas box office is also clearly visible, "Cars" has Pixar's signboard, but it has not been able to continue the magical performance, the overseas box office is lower than the North American box office, and the global box office data of 460 million is also enough behind the "Ice Age 2" 200 million US dollars, such a huge gap is not like Pixar produced at all.
The same is true of "Mission Impossible 3", although the appeal of Tom Cruise and the sequel is incomparable, and the overseas box office has doubled compared to the North American box office, but the global total box office of 397 million is not at the same level as the previous work's 540 million, and the downward trend is really too obvious.
Of course, the overseas box office of "X-Men 3" and "Superman Returns" is both lower than that of North America, and even if they retain their top 10 positions, they still inevitably lose money.
From this development context, it is not difficult to see that the strong reputation established by Chaos Pictures comes from the solid quality of the works, in the absence of sequel bonuses, relying on the golden sign of "Lancelot-Strello", they have become a film company with overseas revenue higher than North American income for four consecutive years - just counting the box office data, Lance is not only the biggest star of Chaos Pictures, but also the core guarantee of the quality of Chaos Pictures, This feat may not be replicated by any film company, and it is no exaggeration to say that Chaos Pictures' advantage overseas is even greater than that of North America.
This time, "Fury Road" made history overseas, unbelievably defeating "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which is unbeatable in the overseas market, which also makes Chaos Pictures to a higher level, and the reputation of "producing a must-have work" is bound to become a box office guarantee similar to Pixar, and become the strongest weapon of Chaos Pictures to conquer overseas markets. Next, Chaos Pictures will launch two works, "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", both of which are works that overseas markets are willing to buy - computer special effects, superheroes, and action blockbusters.
No one can ignore such a Chaos Films, and no one will ignore such a Chaos Films.
On the whole, the global box office market in 2006 is still prosperous, "Fury Road" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" two works with a box office of more than one billion, but also the birth of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Ice Age 2" two works with a box office of more than 600 million, and even the global box office of "Casino Royale" has reached 599 million, which is only a line away from 600 million. This achievement has surpassed the global box office list of the past three years, and last year people were still exclaiming that the global box office of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Star Wars Prequel 3" both exceeded 800 million, and this year has witnessed the feat of the global box office of the two works reaching 1 billion, which really makes people feel the vigorous vitality of the film market.
It's not surprising to go back now and review the awards given to Lance by Forbes and People magazines. It can be said that as a producer and director, Lance's influence has torn down the barriers of the entertainment industry, extending to social, cultural, political, economic and other aspects, such a feat really makes people feel powerful, even more powerful than the 1977 "Star Wars". George Lucas went down in history with this work, and now Lance undoubtedly has his own place in history.
From The New Yorker to The New York Times, from Entertainment Weekly to The Los Angeles Times, from Variety to The Hollywood Reporter, and even from radio to television, the mainstream media has never been more consistent than ever, sending praise to Lance, flowers and applause are singing the praises of Lance for making such a magical and unique year, maybe thirty years from now, people will praise 2006 as they are now marveling at 1977, history always completes the cycle in a special way, Then enter a new era.
If the public opinion of the mainstream media still has a commercial flavor, then the public speech reflected by the Internet is even more approachable. In the year-end rankings of portals such as Yahoo Community and Google Search, Lance easily occupies the top spot, and some people even lamented, "It's hard to imagine how boring 2006 would be without Lance, just Captain Jack Sparrow?" That's just so tedious. But now, we have Mad Max! ”
This trend of public opinion is embodied in IMDB, "Fury Road" surpasses "The Shawshank Redemption" to occupy the championship in film history, and almost no one can shake the hegemony of "Fury Road", and the absolute advantage of scores is more like a crushing; On top of that, for the first time in the artist rankings, Lance also took the top spot, beating Johnny Depp and Ben Stiller, which is the first time in Lance's history that Lance has risen to such a position, which is all the more remarkable considering that the director's exposure is far lower than that of the actors, and that Lance is the only non-actor in the top 10 - at least not in his own job.
In other words, even in the minds of the general public, Lance's influence has reached an unprecedented peak, as the selection of "People" magazine said: he is now a unique existence, and some people are even willing to pay to watch him pass by on the road.
"2006 is equal to Reims", this seems to have become everyone's consensus, but, "can 2006 be equal to the peak", it seems that there must be a question mark, because in the ongoing awards season, the prospect of "Fury Road" is still clouded, can Lance be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director again, and can he win the award in one go? Or will the academy fail Reims once again?
Everyone knew that this was Lance's best chance, and Dorothy Wright and Cole Greid knew it all the better. Therefore, they will not give up easily, nor do they intend to disarm easily, and they will no longer sit idly by and watch this year's college PR!
