"The Matrix" is a bigger and more ambitious sci-fi film by screenwriter and director Tan Zhang after the success of "Source Code" 4 years ago. This film, distributed by Warner Bros. and Summit Entertainment and produced by Luying, does not have a blockbuster lineup, but it has good word-of-mouth marketing.

In the past, science fiction movies often pursued too much high-tech and unknown civilizations, which led the audience to fall into a tired aesthetic, but the creativity of "The Matrix" dodged this trap, inspiring the audience's attention to the real and the virtual, and indulging in the cool visual effects.

The director unleashed an exciting ending at the end, successfully creating an epic sci-fi thriller blockbuster.

The opening of "The Matrix" this weekend became the second-highest grossing non-sequel, remake sci-fi film in film history, behind "Blue Starman" at $77 million, and the attendance rate was far higher than that of all sci-fi films in recent years.

According to Warner Bros., "The Matrix" has a 56 percent male audience and 73 percent under the age of 34, and its $740,000 opening box office includes $9.56 million at midnight.

Touch Jo gave a detailed account of the North American box office results of "The Matrix".

Thanks to the weekend box office of $106.82 million in China and $740,000 in North America, "The Matrix", which was only released in these two regions, won $179.16 million at the global box office, beating the overseas expansion of "Wild Speed" with $112 million and "Star Trek: Into the Darkness" with $94 million, topping the global weekly box office.

This is Zhang Tan's film, the first time it has won the North American weekly box office championship and the global weekly box office championship.

Next week, the release area of "The Matrix" will be expanded to 21 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, South Korea, Xiangxiang, Taiwan, Singapore, Russia, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Italy, Iran, etc.

It was also with the stunning appearance of the first weekend that the two big ticket warehouses in China and the United States broke out. The word-of-mouth exploded, and "The Matrix" quickly appeared on the covers of several magazines such as "Empire", "Sight and Sound" in the United Kingdom, "Variety" in the United States, Time Magazine, and "Widescreen" in Canada.

The movie was on the cover of the magazine, which was not new to Zhang Tan, and "Saw Horror" was on the cover of "Empire" magazine at that time.

But he himself is on the cover. I haven't been, and I've been waiting for Time Magazine to find myself on the cover.

Maybe it's hard for the director himself to be on the cover, and the actor of "The Matrix", Rondo Corsica, may not be as famous as Zhang Tan, but the movie is a hit. He immediately appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, asked Rondo to shoot the cover, and did an exclusive interview.

The heroine Kelly Netherway is also on the cover, and she is still on two copies of "Entertainment Weekly" and "Movie 55" at once.

"Uncle, I am the guarantee of the success of "The Matrix"!" Zhang Tan looked at the latest "Entertainment Weekly" and saw Kelly scratching her head on it, and she was unhappy for a while.

Susa was learning to knit sweaters on the side, and said funny: "Don't you don't like interviews and pursue low-key?" โ€

Zhang Tan said seriously: "The pursuit of low-key is indeed my personality, but at least come and ask me." Accept the cover interview or not, so that I can refuse lightly! โ€

Susa was speechless.

Well, anyway.

With this wave of momentum, you can imagine how the global box office of "The Matrix" will blow out next.

It was a perfect start.

As reported by the New York Times: "Tan Zhang's "The Matrix" has a bumper box office reputation, and the IMDB ranking has rushed to the third place on the list, which is going down in history!" โ€

Easily topped the box office in the opening weekend, and fans in North America were thrilled after watching the movie. flocked to the IMDB website to score it, making the score as high as 9.4 points, directly rushing the top-250 ranking of "The Matrix" to the third place on the list, second only to "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Godfather".

More than 20,000 people have already voted on IMDB. Among them, 74.8% of the audience gave a perfect score of 10, and more than 86% of the voting audience were men, and 76.8% of all fans were young people aged 18-29, which is the main contributor to the box office.

It is enough to prove that Zhang Tan has begun to gain his global fans.

Of course, the third place in the top-250 of "The Matrix" is temporary, and there are two lists for IMDB's ratings. One is the score of the movie, the total score of all viewers divided by the number of scorers, is the score of the movie.

The other is the top-250 list, which means the best 250 movies, which are influenced by IMDB's top-250, and many rating websites have their own top-250 lists, including Douban and Time.com.

IMDB's TOP-250 is scored using Bayesian statistics, and the formula is: TOP-250 final score = [Vรท(V+M)]XR+[Mรท(V+M)]XC.

r = the average score of the movie.

v = the number of people who voted for the film.

m = minimum number of votes to enter a top-250 film (currently fixed at 1300 votes, but this number will change over time).

c = the current average score of all films (currently fixed at 6.8, but this number also changes over time).

From the formula, we can know that in the case of V getting bigger, the impact of R on the movie will be greater and greater, that is, the score of the movie will have more and more impact on the top-250 over time.

Obviously, the 9.4 score of "The Matrix" is only temporary, and with the increasing number of viewers, it will be difficult to maintain a score of 9 in the end, and the ranking of the top-250 will also fall.

But no matter how it declines, judging from the current rating, the top-10 still has a good chance of being maintained, and the worst top-50 is definitely no problem.

In the past few years, there has been no IMDB score at the beginning of the movie that has been able to rush to a height of 9.4 points.

It is worth mentioning that this is Zhang Tan's second top-250 single film to enter IMDB, after his "Crazy Stone", although it has just been released in North America, it only got $2.6 million at the box office, and it is unknown. However, with the film style of creating a multi-line narrative, the film's word-of-mouth stamina began to ferment.

More than 63,000 people have rated "Crazy Stone" on IMDB, and the 8.4 rating puts the film in 135th place.

On the Douban movie top-250, Zhang Tan's five movies are all listed, of which "Crazy Stone" ranks 11th with a score of 9.1, and the number of ratings is as high as 549678; "Source Code" ranked 25th with a score of 8.9, and the number of ratings was as high as 624782; Although "Chainsaw" was not released in China, it still ranked 79th with a score of 8.8, with 245671 ratings.

"What Those Times Taught Me" ranked 86th with a score of 8.7, with 427512 ratings.

There is also the just-released "The Matrix", which has been rated by 112548 people, with a total score of 9.3 points, ranking fourth in the top-250, and the first three are Hollywood movies, "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump" and "Life is Beautiful".

Time.com only has a top-100 list, and "The Matrix" currently has 34,560 reviews with a score of 9.3 points, temporarily ranking first on the list, and the other four movies are all on the list.

Basically, on Douban and Time.com, Zhang Tan is a god, and his supporters blow up any director.

So.

It's a new week.

The Matrix continues to make great strides.
