Section 338 The box office is hot
Three-Body Problem 2 is like a wave, sweeping the film market this summer. After the third week, the film was already destined to be a myth at the box office.
Three weeks later, the film has grossed more than $350 million at the North American box office. This number can be said to be of great significance, because compared to Spider-Man 3, which was released a month earlier, the box office of Three-Body Problem 2 has now been surpassed.
It's been more than a month since Spider-Man 3 was released, and now it's been painted on a large scale. From the opening to the next painting, the box office of this movie got a total of 330 million. Originally, this number should be said to be the champion of this summer, but no one expected that now its box office has been surpassed, and it has been surpassed by a movie that has only been released for three weeks.
Spider-Man 3 is a big-budget movie with an investment of 250 million, although the investment figure is slightly inferior to the Three-Body Problem 2, but it is definitely a well-deserved blockbuster, when he premiered, it also had a box office miracle, but I didn't expect that the Three-Body Problem 2 surpassed it, and it only took three weeks.
The reason for this is actually just because the reputation of Spider-Man 3 is really poor. The box office of Spider-Man 3 in the first week is a myth of the American box office that reached 150 million, but because this movie is only a visual blockbuster with no reputation after all, and because the production is not very good, it is even considered to be the most goofed movie, and it has also suffered a huge decline.
The decline of that movie by as much as 60% can be said to be extremely painful, which also makes the box office of that movie unable to be compared with Three-Body Problem 2. In just three weeks, Three-Body Problem 2 has surpassed it and firmly locked in this year's box office champion.
And, this week, there's another piece of good news. In the North American market, he grossed more than 350 million times worldwide. His box office figures have exceeded the billion mark.
There have been a lot of blockbusters in recent years, and a movie can get a box office of seven or eight billion, which can only be regarded as qualified and not special in this era. However, even in this era, the box office mark of one billion is still a threshold that cannot be crossed. Many movies have a good box office and are very popular, but they are also constrained by objective reality and cannot break the numbers - after all, the number of fans does not suddenly increase. Naturally, the income from watching movies will not suddenly increase.
But now, that number is staggering. In just a few weeks, Three-Body Problem 2 has rushed to the third place in film history and won a box office of one billion, which is incredible. It seems that audiences in other countries are also very enthusiastic about this film that has promoted technological innovation.
Obviously, in the next week. The total box office result that surpassed The Lord of the Rings 3 to become the second place in film history is not even in suspense in time, it is just a matter of next week.
"The only enemy of this movie now is the Titanic."
When seeing such box office results. Almost all the media have come to the same conclusion. In just four weeks, it surpassed The Lord of the Rings 3, a billion that is a figure that is hard to reach for other movies. For him, it was easy to reach, then except for the big ship. Where else can a movie match it at the box office?
And, even that big ship, maybe it will be overtaken - the more people understand the potential of this film, the more they will think so.
Before the release of this movie, some media asserted that it was in this era that it was impossible for movies to be broadcast for a long time, and that the original big ship could continue to play for six months, and it was impossible to top the box office for many consecutive weeks. However, now the three-body 2 seems to have broken this statement.
Three weeks have passed, and the box office of Three-Body Problem 2 has no downward trend. The weekly box office figure of this movie is still the highest of all the movies. There's no reason why a movie that tops the box office this week is going to be shown the following week, so it's going to continue to be shown even in the fourth week.
Compared with the premature aging phenomenon of many blockbusters now, the most terrifying thing about this movie is not its high box office, but its enduring vitality. Even in the fourth week, the box office basically didn't drop much, which is what makes people jaw-dropping.
How long the film can be screened has also become the biggest question in people's minds.
The appearance of a classic movie like Titanic, which is naturally what every filmmaker is willing to see. But if such a movie dominates the entire summer vacation, it will be a nightmare for other film companies. If a movie is released for too long, it will make other movies have no way to live, is it possible that this summer, people will all watch this movie?
Fortunately, by the fifth week, the film's enduring vitality seemed to have taken a big hit. In this week, the box office of the movie finally fell slightly.
This week, there's finally a movie to hit it. The release of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 3 can be said to be the best opponent for the box office with Three-Body Problem 2.
People don't expect that Pirates of the Caribbean will be able to successfully block the Three-Body Problem 2.After all, from the fact that it avoids the Three-Body Problem 2 when it chooses the schedule, it can be seen that it has no intention of competing with the Three-Body Problem. However, now that Three-Body Problem 2 has been released for a month, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is a new film released, so it should always be able to surpass it, right? After all, this is also a movie that is going to be the box office champion of the whole year, and in terms of production, it is not bad at all.
The box office of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 did not disappoint people at all, beating the Three-Body Problem 2 in the first week of release and winning the box office championship of the week with a box office figure of 112 million, which also made people all breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Three-Body Problem 2 is not completely invincible, and when it encounters extremely popular big-budget movies, it will still lose.
However, although this pirate ship is also very popular, it makes people see more clearly the tenacious vitality of the three-body 2. He was also not able to inflict massive damage on the three-body 2. The decline of only 9.5% in Trisomy 2 can be said to be just a small bruise.
It seems that this movie is on the way to surpassing the Titanic, and it can be said that it is going all the way to the end.
"In 97, Titanic used the concept of blockbusters to create a Hollywood miracle. And 10 years later, the new concept of 3D cinema. It's time to break its record again. Three-Body Problem 2 marks the arrival of the era of 3D movies, and this is definitely a movie to remember. ”
For such achievements, almost all the media have already made evaluations.
In fact, without their evaluation, when the Three-Body Problem 2 was a big hit, other film companies had already confirmed the significance of this to Hollywood one step earlier than them.
The success of 3D movies, of course, has a great impact on Hollywood as a whole. After proving that this kind of film can be popular, for a while. There are also a lot of movies in Hollywood, all of which are looking forward to trying to make such a movie.
The huge benefits of 3D movies are something that everyone has seen. Being able to have a box office result of more than 1 billion is also something that any film company is looking forward to. Seeing that the mystery company has made a lot of money, these companies naturally refuse to lag behind, how to make a 3D movie, has now been put on the schedule by many film companies, for them, shooting 3D movies to make money. It has become the most important part of the future work.
It's just that their ideas are not all desirable. Because I know how to make money by shooting 3D movies. At this moment, there are many film companies that are thinking about how to make money with their brains, and turn their almost existing movies into 3D movies in post-production. Compared to shooting a pure 3D movie, it is much cheaper and less troublesome, and naturally some people will want to do this.
For such a person, Levy is also quite helpless. Own movie hype up 3D playback. Naturally, these people have the opportunity to make money.
However, not all people with such weird thoughts are not all after all, and at this time, there are also people who are thinking about how to continue to carry forward 3D movies. For example, in an interview, James . Cameron said that the 3D movie Avatar he is shooting is more gorgeous and brilliant than the Three-Body Problem 2, so he also believes that the box office of his movie will be better than Levy's movie.
He has a reason for saying this: he has a longer preparation time for 3D movies than Levy, and he also has greater confidence in his film technology than the three-body problem. Now that the three-body problem 2 is hot, FOX is more optimistic about his 3D movies, and he is more willing to invest in his movies, which also makes him full of confidence.
It's just that the media is a little unimpressed by his self-confidence. The box office of Three-Body Problem 2 is very good, after all, it is stained with the light of new technology, because of the huge gimmick of technological innovation, it can attract countless audiences to watch, which is an indisputable fact. Such a benefit of eating crabs, the first person has it, but the second person does not have it, Cameron said that his movie can surpass the three-body problem 2, and naturally not many people believe it.
They don't believe it, but Levy has a lot of confidence in it: after all, in his memory, such a thing is not without precedent: in his memory, after the release of Avatar, it immediately set off a 3D craze around the world, and it was taking advantage of this craze that a later adaptation to a 3D version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland simply won a huge box office figure - the gimmick of 3D movies belongs to the entire Hollywood after it is produced.
And now, it is Levy who has taken the first step, so next, will Cameron's second step earn more? It's also something that's hard to say. After all, taking advantage of this craze, his films can definitely get the world's attention as soon as they are released, and compared to the first film to engage in technological innovation, he definitely doesn't have to worry about the poor box office in the first week. Coupled with the fact that his films themselves have excellent shooting standards, it is not impossible to get a high box office.
After all, how well a movie does at the box office, in the final analysis, depends on how well it is made. With Cameron's level of production, Levy has every reason to believe that his films will make money.
After all, leading by oneself is the right trend, and those who are really capable will not fail in this trend. (To be continued......)
