For a movie, whenever it is released, there will always be various evaluations, and when evaluating it, sometimes people pay more attention to word-of-mouth, and sometimes they pay more attention to the box office. For a commercial film, people naturally value the box office more than word of mouth.

After the release of the Three-Body Problem, people put more energy into staring closely at the box office figures of this movie, and in the end, it depends on its box office figures.

And this movie did not disappoint, on the first day of his release, he got a total of 32 million at the North American box office.

This figure also amazed Hollywood, although its box office figures are still slightly inferior to box office overlords such as Spider-Man, but even in the North American market where blockbusters have continued in recent years, the first day box office of this movie is extremely eye-catching.

After all, except for Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Spider-Man, there is no other movie that can compare with it, and such box office figures, but not a popular novel, are enough to be remembered.

It's always not easy to make a series of movies on your own. From this point on, Levy is definitely a success.

And among science fiction movies, the box office figures of this movie can be said to be unique - even the Star Wars prequel 1, released in 1999, only has a box office figure of 28 million.

Of course, the prices in '99 were different from '03, and the Star Wars premiere was on Wednesday instead of Friday, and these differences also contributed to the difference in revenue between the two films. But these small differences can't change people's good impression of the three-body problem: in people's memory, the status of Star Wars prequel 1 among fans can be said to be unique, and a movie can surpass it in a certain box office statistics, which can also be said to be beyond people's thinking.

There are a lot of science fiction movies. But there are really not many that can be compared with Star Wars.

And with this, people naturally pay more attention to his box office trend.

Therefore, three days later, when its box office figures came out this weekend, many people were eyeing the box office of this movie for the first time, and this movie cut down the box office figure of more than 90 million in three days, which also made the media all marvel at the success of this movie.

This box office figure can be said to be staggering: this number has even surpassed the 88 million of Harry Potter 2, which was released last year, and is only behind Spider-Man's first-week box office figure of 110 million.

Even The Lord of the Rings 1 was released two years ago. There is no such high box office figure, and the box office of this movie can be so high, it can definitely be said to be one of the best movies this summer.

In fact, people have already understood this situation when they saw the movie: over the years, the bigger the scene and the bigger the production, the higher the box office figures, and people are not satisfied with going to see the flying car. The explosion scene, looking forward to more novel scenes, has become the only way to win at the box office.

However, guessing and seeing are two different things. Even if people had long expected that the box office of this movie would be very high, but when they really saw his box office figures. People still praise the film.

Being able to 'go on schedule' is definitely a commendable thing in Hollywood. I don't know how many movies there are, but they are all planted on the can't be on schedule.

Just three days. The North American box office is 90 million, such a figure is in line with the income of a blockbuster.

The first weekend can be said to have proved the popularity of this movie, and whether the box office of this movie can continue to rise depends on how the subsequent box office of this movie is. And the next thing is naturally the statistics of the box office for a week.

This time, the box office figure of 152 million also amazed people: in the past few days of the weekend, it is still able to get a box office of 60 million, which is not easy.

And this also makes people begin to sigh one thing: the box office of this movie, I'm afraid that it is not a problem to exceed 700 million, and it is even possible to be higher.

And how many movies have exceeded 700 million box office in the entire film history?

In the past few years, Levy has always played more literary films than commercial films, and although his films are good, they are still not good at the box office. The worst is Lost in Tokyo, with only two or thirty million box office, and the sum of the five movies is less than a billion figures, and now, the box office of this movie is almost the sum of the past three movies, how can such a number not make people sigh, Levy, this guy, has made a breakthrough at the box office?

People also have to admire Levy's choice: it took five years to hone his shooting skills, and at the same time to accumulate word-of-mouth, it took five years to shoot a TV series and accumulate funds, and after five years, after having enough word-of-mouth and material conditions, it was a matter of course to shoot such a blockbuster.

Compared with spending a lot of money every year to shoot some commercial films with a box office of two or three hundred million, this time he directly chose to shoot a blockbuster and won a huge box office in one go, Levy's choice is obviously smarter. Although he didn't make much money in the film industry during the five years he took, he still paid off for his accumulation.

It can be said that the results of this first week of box office are definitely very successful. Judging from its current numbers and word-of-mouth, the box office figures of this movie will continue to increase.

And whether it can reach that number, the biggest question is whether this movie can be competitive enough.

How well a movie does at the box office, in addition to its own level, whether it can catch up with a good time is also very important. Saving Private Ryan Ryan has suffered such a big loss, because of that war, its reputation is unparalleled. For other commercial films, sufficient word-of-mouth is not something that people pay attention to, and what is more important is the competition for schedules.

The schedule of the Three-Body Problem is not particularly good, because a week after the Three-Body Problem is the release time of The Matrix 2, and the head-on confrontation between the two sci-fi movies is so close, this will definitely be a major event that affects the box office.

Compared with the Three-Body Problem, the Matrix has a better audience base, and science fiction movies are now hot, and it is also a more popular story. Whether it can get a better box office is also waiting to be seen.

And Warner can also be said to be full of confidence in this movie. Their schedule is actually better than Levy's, and the movies that will be broadcast later have the previous movies as a warm-up, which are better in terms of the wave and sensation they cause.

Although this movie and the Three-Body Problem are actually about aliens and robots, the story is still very different, but. Warners still wants its films to outperform at the box office.

And The Matrix 2 did not disappoint, three days after its release, the figure of 92 million immediately surpassed the three-body problem, setting a new weekend box office record this year.

"This summer, it's obviously a science fiction movie."

At this point, the media has already begun to make this kind of noise. Two movies with more than 90 million copies in three consecutive days, such an era would have been unimaginable a few years ago.

And for the three-body problem, this is already the second week. Their second week at the box office. has begun to decline - commercial films are different from art films, there are very few that can achieve reverse growth, and after this weekend, the box office of the three-body problem has only increased by 40 million. reached 190 million.

"Our movies will definitely surpass the three-body problem."

For the Matrix, Warner is also full of confidence. In three days, they have already set a new record at the box office this year. This made them believe that at the box office, they had already won.

But. Things didn't turn out as well as they expected.

When the weekend came, the box office figure of the Matrix only reached 153 million - this number is basically the same as the three-body problem, but their box office figures in the first three days exceeded the three-body problem, so that means that in the remaining days, his box office is not as good as the three-body problem.

At this time, the three-body problem is about 80 million this week. In the remaining days, his box office rebounded, which made their box office reach 240 million.

Such a result can be said to be quite unexpected. At this time, people also noticed that although the box office of The Matrix 2 was a big hit, after it was broadcast, its evaluation was not too good.

"The movie is too capable of rendering action scenes, and action scenes that last more than an hour can be said to be meaningless."

"The director's focus is completely wrong, and science fiction films are on par with low-level martial arts films."

"The thoughts are too obscure, the actions are too gorgeous, and the plot is too fragmented."

For the movie The Matrix 2, people's evaluation is not very good, it lacks the sci-fi atmosphere of the first episode, there are too many fights made for the sake of blockbusters, and it is completely stuck in the rhythm of commercial films, which makes people slightly disappointed with this movie. Compared to Levy, the Wachowski brothers still have too little experience, and by the second film, their lack of grasp of cinema began to be revealed.

And this disappointment was not evident in the first three days: the wonderful fights that the Wachowski brothers deliberately created still won the love of some audiences. However, compared with such a movie, the three-body problem has shortcomings after all, and as time goes by, such a gap gradually becomes prominent.

If such a situation is when there are no competitors, then it is fine. Sci-fi fans will continue to watch even if they are dissatisfied with the director's bad shooting angle. However, when there are competitors like the Three-Body Problem, their movies are naturally in danger.

After the first week, the box office figure of the film was still 158 million, which finally won the box office championship and got rid of Levy's movie. But by the second weekend, the film's box office numbers were already a bit red.

Ten days later, the box office of The Matrix 2 only reached 183 million. In the second weekend, it only got 30 million at the box office!

In terms of the decline of the box office, The Matrix 2 far surpassed the three-body problem, although it won in the short-distance sprint, but it was in danger in the long-distance run.

This competition, just in the second week, Levy's film has already won! (To be continued......)
