No movie can stay in a hot state indefinitely, and "The Dark Knight" is no exception, after reaching $375.66 million in the second weekend of its North American release, the weekday box office unsurprisingly declined sharply as the new week began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In its third week of release, The Dark Knight fell below $20 million for the first time in North America at the single-day box office, with $12.36 million on Monday.

Although the single-day box office has declined by more than 50% compared to last Sunday, it still overtook all competitors and became the most grossing film of the day.

As a direct competitor, "I Am Legend" continued the trend since last weekend, and the market response was good, but it had to survive under the pressure of "The Dark Knight", and it grossed $7.12 million on Monday.

In the following three working days, "The Dark Knight" and "I Am Legend" carved up most of the market share, but the former always firmly suppressed the latter.

In these three days, "The Dark Knight" reported $11.85 million, $11.01 million and $10.28 million in North America respectively, which was not everyone's expectation, and the film set a new record of $400 million in North America with a score of $410.88 million in 13 days.

And "I Am Legend" is obviously more than a step behind, with $6.23 million, $5.87 million and $5.66 million respectively in three days, and the North American box office has reached $98.77 million, breaking through the $100 million mark is just around the corner.

"The Dark Knight" is basically booked as the North American box office champion this summer and even the whole year with a score of $421.16 million before the arrival of a new weekend.

And its biggest competitors are undoubtedly Sony Columbia Pictures Production and Distribution, Sam? "Spider-Man 3" directed by Remy.

"Spider-Man 3" is newly released, and "The Dark Knight" has entered its third weekend. The situation between the two sides is clear at a glance, and after three days of the weekend, "Spider-Man 3" unsurprisingly ended the situation of "The Dark Knight" winning two consecutive championships and became the second box office champion after the start of the summer season.

It is also only clear to Duke that "Spider-Man 3" has been quite influenced by "The Dark Knight" and "I Am Legend".

This superhero movie has set a record for the first week of opening in North America. Although it reached Sony Columbia's expectation of $130 million, the $138.99 million in the first week in 4,220 theaters was a cut short of the $150 million or so opening figure that Duke vaguely remembered.

The influences are mutual, "The Dark Knight" will affect the attendance of "Spider-Man 3", and "Spider-Man 3" will also affect "The Dark Knight".

This weekend, the box office of "The Dark Knight" has seen a significant decline. The drop was as high as nearly 60 percent, and it earned $36.8 million in three days, ranking second in the box office charts.

"I Am Legend" sold $30.98 million to push the film's North American box office past the $100 million mark.

And "The Dark Knight" was released three weeks ago, and it swept away $457.96 million from North American theaters, which is a unique miracle in North America and even the entire world film history.

Although in terms of overseas. "Spider-Man 3" earned more than $200 million from 106 countries and regions, ending the dominance of "The Dark Knight", but the $161.22 million earned by the latter after continuing to expand overseas screenings pushed the film's global box office to a height of $804.84 million.

All the Hollywood companies and investigative agencies related to the film industry and even the financial industry know that it is only a matter of time before "The Dark Knight" surpasses $500 million in North America and $1 billion worldwide.

As a result, the stock market just opened on Monday, and the shares of Warner Bros. and Time Warner soared at the same time, and the stock price of a single share rose by more than five percent in one day.

Also rising was Sony Columbia Pictures. It's just that the company's stock has risen far less than Warner Bros.

The biggest problem with this situation comes from the audience reputation and market response of "Spider-Man 3", compared with the first two good reputations, this one can only be described as very general.

In the survey data published by RE. The praise rate of "Spider-Man 3" is only 65% of the theater audience, and the average audience score is 'b'.

In terms of media, the treatment of "Spider-Man 3" is even more miserable, with an average score of only 57 points from 56 media outlets counted by Metacritic.

You know, this is only the data of the three days of release!

On the other hand, "The Dark Knight", even if it is the third weekend. The reputation in all aspects is still strong, not to mention ranking first in IMDB's TOP250. In RE's latest survey data, the film's theatrical audience praise rate is still more than 90%. The audience score is firmly nailed to 'A+'.

It's not just the score, as two superhero movies, or the most influential Spider-Man and Batman in the whole of North America, it is inevitable that they will be dragged out by fans and fans for comparison.

"Duke's Batman series is the epitome of getting better and better, Sam? Raimi's Spider-Man series is a model of getting worse and worse with each other. ”

"In The Dark Knight, Duke combines art and commerce to create a classic in film history. Sam, on the other hand? Raimi's "Spider-Man 3", saying that it is a qualified commercial film is a bit too much praise. ”

"There is no doubt that Duke's "The Dark Knight" has set a new benchmark for superhero films, in which the analysis of human nature, the game between good and evil, has long surpassed the worldview setting of the superhero itself. And what about Spider-Man 3? There are too many hard injuries in the plot, and there are ...... logical loopholes everywhere"

"It's not so much that there's a huge gap between Spider-Man 3 and The Dark Knight, but Sam? Remy's level with Duke? Rosenberg is not on one level at all. ”

Dragged down by the very average audience word-of-mouth, after draining the enthusiasm of fans and viewers on the first weekend, "Spider-Man 3" plummeted 75 percent at the box office on Monday from last Sunday, earning only $9.82 million.

The box office of "The Dark Knight" is also declining, with a decline of only 40 percent, earning $7.66 million in a single day, and the North American box office continues to steadily move towards the $500 million mark.

By now, it is clear to everyone that "Spider-Man 3" cannot pose a real threat to "The Dark Knight", either in word-of-mouth or at the box office.

"It seems that all the popular characters or films have been ...... after being acquired by Sony Columbia Pictures."

The seaside side of the garden, Scarlett? Johnson sat on a white wicker chair and sat opposite Nancy? Josephson said, "Eventually, it's going to rot, and that's the case with the 007 series, and it's the same with Spider-Man, so does Sony Entertainment have the magic to make all the movies rot?" ”

"Honey, you've been influenced by Duke's prejudice."

Pick up the white porcelain pot, Nancy? Josephson refilled Scarlett's and his teacups with black tea, saying, "Last year's 'Casino Royale' box office was still okay. ”

"Casino Royale?" Scarlett pursed her lips and said, "That new James?" Bond isn't likable at all, with Pierce? Brosnan looked like a thug out of the slums. ”

With that, she turned to Duke who was trimming the branches, "Honey, am I right?" ”

"Kind of makes sense." Duke slipped the scissors into the back pocket of his jeans, bent over to pick up the broken branches on the ground, and said, "I don't really like Daniel either?" Craig's acting style. ”

Seeing Duke busy, Scarlett said, "Just leave this to the gardeners." ”

"I've got nothing to do now, and I'm on vacation," Duke said, putting the broken branches in the garbage basket next to him, "and it's just a workout." ”

Of course, the garden is taken care of, and Duke only makes a cameo when he is interested.

Scarlett retracted her gaze, shrugged her shoulders at Nancy, and said helplessly, "I should inform Emma in the evening to prepare some new plants to replace these that Duke has trimmed." ”

Nancy laughed, picked up her cup and drank the tea, turned to Duke's side, and said, "Has the script for the new project been submitted?" ”

"It's been sent to Warner Bros.' review committee." Duke said without looking up.

"Can you do me a little favor?" Nancy asked tentatively.

Duke placed the garbage basket in a clearing and patted the dirt off his hands, "Say it, honey." ”

"One of my singers is very good...... "Nancy? Josephson was not polite either, and said directly, "How about letting her sing the theme song of your new composition?" She's going to release her first album next year, and I think she has the potential to be a big hit, and she needs some way to gather popularity and attract the attention of the market. ”

It's not a difficult thing to do, Duke didn't think about it, and said, "As long as the singing level is enough and the style is appropriate." ”

"Singing skills must be fine......"

Thinking of Duke's robot-filled masterpieces, Nancy? Josephson couldn't help but scratch his head a little, "But in terms of style, she is taking the country route for the time being......"

"Country?" Duke turned around, looked at Nancy, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay, but you're going to have to find a song for her that matches the whole film." ”

For pop songs, Duke is a complete layman.

"When the script is reviewed, give me a copy of the script." Nancy? Josephson added, "She can compose the lyrics and music herself, and she may be able to write a suitable song herself." ”

Duke didn't refuse, just told Scarlett? Johnson made a note of it.

After finishing the business at hand, Duke went to the side to wash his hands, and also sat at this table, and several people chatted about some things in the circle, and the topic gradually turned to Duke's upcoming long vacation.

"Where are you and Scarlett going on vacation?" Nancy? Josephson asked with concern.

"Planning to go to Australia and leave for Wellington the day after tomorrow, James? Cameron's new film has already been officially launched, and most of the scenes will be shot in Studio Weta Studios. (To be continued)
