Nearly a hundred nominations. More than 70 grand prizes have been won. "Slumdog Millionaire" can be said to be the "millionaire" of this year's awards season. At the same time, major magazines and newspapers selected the film of the year, as well as well-known film critics selected the film of the year, "Slumdog Millionaire" also gained a lot.

"Time" Top 10 NO.7, "Rolling Stone" Top 10 NO.2, "New York Post" Top 10 NO.1, Roger Albert 08 Top 20 Films, Stephen King 08 Top 10......

On December 15, 2009, the nominations for the 67th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards were announced, and "Slumdog Millionaire" won four nominations for Best Drama Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Soundtrack. "Heartbeat" also received the first nomination for an important level to date. Best Cinematography.

Compare it with the poor. Heartbeat is the real poor.

In the harvest of the awards season, "Slumdog Millionaire" also survived its final glory, with $360 million worldwide, and word-of-mouth and box office are all grand slams. Pinnacle Entertainment as an investor. It can be described as fame and fortune. A company that can only make box office blockbusters. There is certainly no company that can win awards to enhance its reputation.

At the same time, "Sherlock Holmes", which has been painted in North America, has received a total of $240 million in North America and $260 million overseas. $500 million worldwide, and some regions are being released one after another, such as Chinese mainland, which has not yet begun to be released, and it is expected that $540 million worldwide will not be a problem.

The last film of the year, "The Hangover 2," produced by Summit Entertainment, postponed the schedule to give way to "Oldboy," and was therefore set after Christmas. A few days back, on Friday, December 11, "Oldboy" was officially released in North America on its first weekend.

With the title of the hottest movie in Asia, "Old Boy" has arranged 3,560 theaters in the United States, ranking first in the number of theaters released in this issue. After a three-day weekend from the 11th to the 13th, the box office was released.

"2012," which has passed its prime, earned only $4.4 million, ranking sixth this weekend, and grossed $150 million in North America. I have to say that disaster movies are just a lively thing to watch, and it is easy to cause visual fatigue after the freshness has passed, and the results in North America are not worth the production cost of more than 200 million US dollars, fortunately, there is overseas support, otherwise Sony will have to pay for it.

Lionsgate's small-budget "Brothers" tepidly won $5 million, ranking fifth, and Lionsgate has produced a lot of movies this year, basically not losing money, but only the "SAW" series is still making money. Under the aura of the old neighbor's peak entertainment, overshadowed.

Disney's "A Christmas Carol" is $6.87 million, Warner Bros.'s "It's Done" is $9.08 million, and Disney's "The Princess and the Frog" is $25 million, ranking fourth, third, and second respectively. I have to say that Disney's children's route is still very successful, "A Christmas Carol" has accumulated $124 million, and "The Princess and the Frog" has also achieved good results.

But this week's winner belongs to "Oldboy", $39.4 million, which is not a big hit, but it still breaks the limit of $10,000 in a single theater. As long as a single theater reaches $10,000, the movie is considered a success, and the number of theaters will not decrease much.

The rating on IMDB is not as horrible as Asia's, with only 7.6 points, and the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes is only 75%. In the words of the New York Times's film critic Ben. Taylor's 3/4 rating said: "This is an Asian definition of dreams, there are inspirational elements, but there are no elements of a commercial film script, and cultural differences make it difficult for us to understand the song at the end of the film." ”

Most of the reactions of the American audience are that they are very warm and touched after watching it, but if you want to say how deep they feel, there is really none. The ending is sentimental for the whole of Asia, and for them it is just a good melody and a good lyric content. However, the dream is all over the world, and the movie is still loved by the audience.

became the box office champion of the week.

The success of North America is almost successful around the world, and although "Oldboy" ...... Britain, France, Germany, Spain, and "Oldboy" are not very strong, nor have they set any records for Chinese films, they have all reached the throne of the weekly champion. It has received a lot of box office.

But in Asia, "Oldboy" remains strong.

South Korea has achieved two consecutive championships, with 1.6 million moviegoers this week and a cumulative total of 3.7 million moviegoers, leaving the record of 2.71 million moviegoers of "Under the Red Cliff" far behind, and according to this result, it is bound to squeeze into the ranks of the top ten grossing films of the year in South Korea.

Japan also achieved two consecutive championships, earning 2 billion yen this week, and the total box office accumulated 3.8 billion yen, far from the record of 5.5 billion yen for Chinese films in "Under the Red Cliff". Getting closer.

Hong Kong once again topped the weekly championship. The weekly box office was 24 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total box office was 56 million Hong Kong dollars, topping the champion of Chinese films, and the top ten of the year are imminent.

Treasure Island also topped the weekly championship. The box office for the week was NT$140 million. The total box office is NT$350 million. The top 10 of the year are locked.

Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos...... It's all coherent. According to statistics, the overseas box office of the whole of Asia once again received 28 million US dollars, about 191 million yuan.

And the mainland. After breaking 400 million in a week, the momentum finally eased up, and the box office fell very much in the second week, but it was only relative to the results of the first week, and the second week gained 190 million yuan! Refresh all the records for the second week again. New records have also been added.

The fastest to break the box office record of 600 million yuan in 14 days!

After the 510 million yuan of "Inception", there is finally a movie that broke the 500 million mark, and it broke the 600 million mark like a bamboo! The first film reached 600 million yuan in the mainland market, and it is still a Chinese-language film! After CCTV's "News Series" introduced the news for the first time, the next "Focus Interview" made a special program about "Old Boy".

Detail why this movie can be so popular.

"Before the show starts, I'm going to start by introducing you to a set of data." The opening remarks of the host of the program, Bai Yansong, are to introduce the data, "The latest film "Old Boy" by the famous director Shao Shuaijun is currently in theaters, and it has been officially released for two weeks, and the Chinese box office has reached 613.9 million yuan, with an overseas box office of 140 million US dollars, and a total box office of 230 million US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film of the year. At the same time, it also set the following new records. ”

58 million yuan was recorded on the premiere day and Monday, 43 million yuan on Tuesday, 43.5 million yuan on Wednesday, 38.6 million yuan on Thursday, 51 million yuan on Friday, 88.6 million yuan on Saturday, and 100.2 million yuan on Sunday and single day.

The record in a single week was 422.9 million yuan, and the second week was recorded in 191 million yuan.

The fastest to break the record of 100 million is 2 days, the fastest to break the record of 200 million is 5 days (the same as "Inception"), the fastest to break the record of 300 million is 6 days, the fastest to break the record of 400 million is 7 days, the fastest to break the record of 500 million is 12 days, and the fastest to break the record of 600 million is 14 days.

At the same time, it has set a new box office opening record for Chinese films in various parts of Asia, and it has been determined that the countries that have set a new total box office record for Chinese films are South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia......

"What kind of charm does "Oldboy" have to achieve such outstanding results, we interviewed the film's producer Ma Huo on this issue, and asked him to give us an analysis." Bai Yansong finished reporting the data, and the picture shifted to the Dream Chasing Film and Television Base.

Ma Hu, general manager of Dream Chasing Culture Agency, sat in the office in a straight suit, and said solemnly: "We have summarized the three elements of the success of the film, the background of the times, the theme of care, the fame effect and the scale of publicity.

In terms of the background of the times, during the current formal global subprime mortgage crisis, both the unemployment rate and the employment rate have reached the most difficult situation at present. Young students face the harsh social environment after graduation and are unable to adapt, which leads to many people's dissatisfaction with real life, so they pin their hopes on the movie "Old Boy" in an attempt to relieve pressure with the movie.

If you care about the theme, the movie has three themes, youth, dreams and struggle...... In terms of fame, director Shao Shuaijun's reputation can be said to be the most famous in the Chinese speaking circle in the world, and many movies have been sold worldwide and have gained the love of a large number of audiences. Huang Bo, Xu Yu, and Liu Shishi are all famous actors in China, and the movie has received widespread attention from the beginning, plus a very bright cameo lineup, and the impact of star effect is huge.

The success in China, coupled with the huge international attention of the film, coupled with the strong scheduling ability and public relations ability of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest in Asia, can make "Old Boy" released simultaneously and on a large scale in time to create such an incredible box office miracle.
