In the past ten years, three lovely children have also grown into young people and young girls, and the release of the final chapter also heralds the end of the decade-long magical journey that accompanies Harbin fans around the world, and the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been described as "broken love" in the hearts of Harbin fans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ending chapter was full of tears, coupled with the farewell mood, many viewers walked out of the theater with red eyes crying.

And the entire series took ten years, accumulating countless fans and extremely high popularity, and when the final chapter of the series arrived, it all exploded.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has also become a record-breaking machine, breaking a series of previous North American box office records.

These records previously belonged to the super-fan movie "Twilight: New Moon", and many people are complaining about this film, but it does not prevent it from using the power of fans to make Duke use the series of box office records set by "The Dark Knight" to make it old.

In this day and age, fan movies are becoming more and more unignotable, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is no different.

The original midnight box office record in North America was $30 million for "Twilight: New Moon," but "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" increased that record by a whopping $13.5 million with a $43.5 million midnight box office!

The North American premiere box office record also belongs to "Twilight: New Moon", which spent $72.7 million in 2009, surpassing the original record of $68.36 million for "The Dark Knight", fully demonstrating the power of fan movies, but the fans of the "Harry Potter" series are more and crazier than it, and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" easily surpassed it with $92.1 million.

The biggest problem with fan movies is that they can't last, and the box office trend of "Twilight: New Moon" is the best illustration, but the quality of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is good enough, and the box office is far more stable than "Twilight: New Moon", but compared to the box office trend of "The Dark Knight" in the first week, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" could only lose in the North American opening weekend.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" grossed $169.15 million in the first three days of North America. It was second only to "The Dark Knight" in its first week of box office in history.

It's enough to make Duke and Warner Bros. laugh and keep their mouths shut, the film's box office revenue is secondary, and the spin-off revenue is the big one, since "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has been massively promoted. All sorts of Harry Potter-related products are selling like crazy.

According to Warner Bros. estimates, the sales of Harry Potter derivatives this year will not be less than $3 billion.

For example, the "Harry Potter" series can be filmed eight times in a row, which is rare in global film history in terms of investment and influence, as the end of the series. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is the most popular in the whole series in terms of storyline and visual effects, and overseas media unanimously praised it as "the best film of the year".

There are also British media reports that Warner Bros. Pictures, as the distribution company of the "Harry Potter" series, will bring "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to the Oscars again, and strive to push this series finale to the best picture throne.

The first seven films in the "Harry Potter" series have received a total of nine Oscar nominations, including "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", which was shortlisted for Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction at the last Oscars, but so far. Didn't win any glory.

Warner Bros. did apply for various Oscar nominations for the film.

However, like Duke, they know very well that it is not difficult for this film to be nominated for Best Picture, after all, the Best Picture nomination has been expanded to nine, but if you want to win Best Picture, unless Joanna? Rowling had an accident before the final vote for the Oscars and hung up like Tolkien did, otherwise it was almost impossible.

As Duke said and Hollywood has proven it, no one can ignore the sensational effect and sympathy of death.

Warner Bros.'s purpose is actually quite simple, when the new awards season arrives. Borrowing the east wind of the Oscars, let the box office and peripheral sales of the film get higher income.

Fan movies and sequel movies are far more popular than other original genre films, which is also a big reason why Hollywood attaches great importance to adaptations and sequels, and is not interested in originals.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows also proves this pattern. With the advantage of the series finale, the film surpassed Duke's "Inception", which has been in theaters for more than half a year, at the global box office in just 24 days after its release, and by mid-December, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" had accumulated more than $1.133 billion at the global box office, while Duke's "Inception" had not yet touched the threshold of $1.1 billion. The figure of 1,076.6 million has stagnated.

In the end, it is very difficult to break $1.1 billion at the box office, because the film has been removed from North America.

The North American box office for "Inception" finally stopped at $368.97 million.

Originally, Warner Bros. planned to keep the film screened until the last time for the Oscars, but it was rejected by Duke, who believes that Warner Bros. should focus its resources on the upcoming "Gravity", which is the focus of the next operation.

These operations are not only theatrical screenings, but also Oscars.

Duke is very clear about his goal for the Oscars, but there is actually only one - Best Actress.

If you want to win the award, you must first complete the post-production of the film, and before the arrival of late December, Duke basically finished the film, and then held a small test screening inside Warner Bros., what Duke didn't expect was that James? When Cameron heard about it, he came to see the test screening.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Duke once stood for "Avatar" and worked very hard in the promotion and promotion, James? Cameron doesn't want to owe him a favor.

Just as he thought, in an interview two days after the test screening, James? Cameron made a point of mentioning Duke's new film.

James? Cameron said that during the 90 minutes he watched "Gravity," he kept his hands to his mouth, reminding himself from time to time not to forget to breathe.

Especially for the 3D effect of the film, Cameron praised it wildly, believing that the film has raised the technology of film shooting to a new level, and has also created a precedent in terms of visual effects and 3D technology, which makes perfect use of CG and live-action shooting, without flaws.

In this TV interview, James? Cameron even felt that he was not enough to describe it at one point, and he mentioned from time to time that "if you call this film a thriller, you would underestimate it", "this is not enough to show how good this film is", "this movie is much more than that"......

Obviously, James? Cameron not only returned Duke's favor, but was indeed attracted by the film itself.

For this reason, he wrote a related article on his instant sharing, which was instantly reposted by hundreds of thousands of fans, becoming one of the most interesting online news before Christmas.

"I think Gravity is the best space movie to date. I grew up watching space movies, and that's my big love, I was a member of NASA's advisory board, and it lasted for 3 years, and I was eager to go to outer space, and after watching "Gravity", I felt like my wish had come true. ”

"Duke? The most successful thing about director Rosenberg is to show the state of weightlessness realistically, he will take you to outer space, you will feel the magnificence of space, you will also see the beauty of the earth, the feeling of floating in space without gravity, and the loneliness, fear, beauty, I feel like I have been to outer space. If you go to see this movie, it's hard not to feel that kind of reality like I do. ”

"One of the things I really like about this film is that it takes filmmaking technology to a whole new level. I knew it would be difficult to shoot when the actors were in constant action, but they did it and did it great. I know they're using a lot of robots, and they're using the latest lighting, and they're all new and working well. It's not like you've seen people flying with Wia in the air, but this video is more realistic, and you feel the weightlessness and the astronauts are well trained, and you can empathize. ”

"Gravity is also a first-of-its-kind film in terms of visual effects and 3D technology, and it makes perfect use of CG and live-action shooting, without any flaws. To call this film a thriller is an underestimation of it. I watched the film for 90 minutes with my hands on my lips and I had to remind myself from time to time not to forget to breathe, which wasn't enough to show how good the film was. ”

"It's really a powerful, human, and deeply moving film."

"Some might say Duke? Rosenberg made a space thriller, and the film was so much more than that. It's about survival, it's about how a woman faces herself, how she manages to survive. Scarlett? Johnson's performance was impeccable, and if I were you, I would definitely go to the theater to see this movie, don't miss it. ”

Although James? Cameron has the nature of returning favors, but these can really help the film, Duke also made a special phone call with him, Warner Bros. passed by James? With Cameron's own consent, he will also use these in the actual promotion of the film.

Scarlett? Johnson's performance on "Gravity" is undoubtedly outstanding, James? Cameron's praise is not excessive, and Duke agrees with him, but if you want to be nominated for an Oscar and get a ticket to next year's awards ceremony, it is not enough to rely on roles and performances.

Except for Scarlett? Johnson frequently attends various events to increase his exposure, Duke and Parney? Kelis and Warner Bros. had already done their work. (To be continued.) )
