1153: Bigger than MJ? (2nd Update)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ten years ago, a war between humans and zombies broke out that affected the entire world, almost destroying the entire human world. While countries around the world are recuperating, a United Nations investigator travels around the world to investigate the surviving human living conditions of "Doomsday War" media overall rating of 62 points, Rotten Tomatoes freshness 68%.
The filming process was full of twists and turns, during which several times were postponed to make up for the zombie blockbuster with soaring costs. The high box office of the movie is naturally inseparable from the support of the media, and the praise rate of the mainstream media occupies the mainstream.
""Doomsday War" is a genuine and steady stunt blockbuster, compared to other works in the name of summer blockbusters, it is more worth watching", "almost thriller", "For those traditional zombie films, the value of "Doomsday War" is that it is really shaping thrillers, rather than trying to disgust the audience with blood", "A thriller that truly combines pathos and the end of the world to perfection, the whole viewing process is not only scary but also inexplicably exciting! This is undoubtedly the most scary zombie work in recent years", "an entertainment work like hell", and "only Lee Dong-rae + Brad Pitt (producer + starring in this film) can return the focus to the zombies themselves".
Due to the blockade of "Zombie Doomsday", "Monster University" failed to win the box office championship, think about it, "The Day After Tomorrow", which also focused on the theme of apocalypse, but was relegated to the runner-up under the resistance of the animation "Shrek 2", this time it is revenge.
But as Disney Pixar's annual blockbuster, "Monsters University" also had a good box office strength for three days over the weekend, the week after it just broke the record for the opening of film history in June, and in the menacing situation of "Doomsday". "Monster University" opened in 4oo4 theaters, charging $82.42 million in tuition on three days of the weekend. The single-hall score was also as high as $20,000, temporarily ranking second by a slight disadvantage.
Since the word-of-mouth defeat of "Cars 2" (although the final box office of 191 million did not meet expectations, it is still the animation annual crown in 2o11), the myth that "Pixar must be a high-quality product" has been broken, even if the two works of Disney Animation Studios in 2o12, "The Legend of Courage" and "The Invincible Destruction King", dominated the animation rivers and lakes to retain the position of Mickey Mouse's leading leader, but Pixar's actions are still expected.
As we all know, at the moment when there is a shortage of scripts, mainstream production companies have started the idea of sequel prequels or story adaptations. After all, it is always much easier to "recreate zĂ o" based on a certain blueprint than to create it out of thin air, so there is a "strange story" of the sequel explosion in 2o11, and the "weirdness" of the old film decades ago preparing for a sequel!
For Pixar, the strong creative force ensures an endless stream of excellent scripts, which is also very envied by the phantom Li Donglai, where there is a group of geniuses who are the most proficient in animation stories in the world. To know. After the first two parts of "Kung Fu Panda" were carefully created, the third part immediately fell into a story desert, and Li Donglai recently occupied the schedule, and the reproduction of "Frozen", "Dragon Hero" wants to release a sequel, I'm afraid it will have to wait until 2o15.
A contrast to this. It's even more valuable for Pixar. In addition to the traditional series of "Toy Story", Pixar has always adhered to the pace of one original product a year.
It wasn't until the first decade of the 21st century passed that Hollywood was caught up in a situation where sequel prequels were flying all over the place, and an animated sequel quietly launched. However, unexpectedly, Pixar did not choose the more "international" "Human Secret Service", "Bug Squad", "Ratatouille", "Finding Nemo" or even "Wal-E", but took a fancy to the "American" "Cars"!
Apparently this is a test of the waters for Pixar. Abandon the previous calm route, completely subvert the style of the original work, and choose to go sideways. Unfortunately, the final result was unsatisfactory, and the weak box office and the collapse of word-of-mouth all made Pixar's sequel attempt go down.
But Pixar is Pixar, and the sequel loses the prequel.
I think that the worldview structure of "Monster Power Company" made countless people marvel at the imagination of the main creator, but even so, a large part of the box office of "Power Company" is due to cute human children. In the face of an audience that is more tricky than the Saint Seiya, the same trick naturally can't be used a second time, and the time point of "Monster University" is set in the college days of the protagonists, completely abandoning human characters, and instead carefully refining the "monster worldview" of the year. From a psychological point of view, many of the children who followed their parents to watch the movie 12 years ago have now entered the society or even married and had children.
Savor the embarrassment of the young age of the beloved character, and it is invisibly filled with the nostalgia of "to youth".
This is why, after 12 years, "Monsters University" can still maintain its vigorous and unfailing appeal! And the audience statistics also prove this reasoning, as an animated film that has always been aimed at the youth group, the audience is over 25 years old and accounts for 4o%. Even, there must be many friends who have never slept at heart, who will secretly run back to watch it a second time.
Another reason that makes "Monsters University" popular is also very simple, since entering 2o13, there have been no high-quality animation works for up to half a year.
The only "Forest Warrior" that can make it to the table is sluggish, becoming Blue Sky Studios' worst record to date. So it stands to reason that after "People" and "The Strongest on the Planet: Li Donglai" teamed up to create a shocking point, the box office purchasing power should have dropped significantly, but the hunger and thirst of the animation audience for half a year still broke out with strong purchasing power.
Referring to Pixar's other works, "Human Secret Service" opened for 7o460,000 US dollars and finally received 261 million, "Finding Nemo" opened for 7o250,000 and accumulated 339 million, and "Flying House" opened for 681o and closed for 293 million. Although Universal's animated ace "Despicable Me 2" is about to debut in 12 days, "Monsters University" still has strong box office potential, and now it is aiming for a final value of 250 million, and if it can maintain a low second-week decline rate next week, it may hit $300 million.
The boom in the animation market did not make Li Donglai red.
Opposite. He wished it was that.
"Frozen" has come to an end, and the schedule has been set to be released at the end of the year. He was a birth gift to his two daughters. But it's very attentive. How can you not expect the box office of the movie to be a little better.
Of course, having said so much. Audiences are also paying attention to the old films that were released last week, and "Man: Man of Steel" fell by about 65% this week, winning only $4.18 million at the box office!
Although the decline is staggering, the cumulative box office has reached $210 million, and the success of "The Return of Man" has become the best result of the "Man Series". At the same time, due to the continuous release of "box office powerhouses" such as China, the total overseas revenue also climbed to 188 million US dollars. successfully approaching the cumulative total of 191 million of "The Return of Man", "Man of Steel" will be released in Australia next week, followed by Japan, Brazil, etc., and there is no suspense about the "best film history" human movie.
As things stand, the next week of "Man of Steel" was not due to the quality of the film, but to a strong opponent, so North America still has the potential to surpass $300 million.
And in the spotlight. Last week's runner-up "The Strongest on the Planet: Li Donglai Documentary" fell 51% this week after a blockbuster of 7.35 million yuan over the weekend, and still won $3.56 million at the box office. In two weeks and ten days of release in North America, the cumulative box office exceeded 1o90 million US dollars.
Previously, in 2o11, the music documentary "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" starring Justin Bieber, who became popular with rockets, defeated "Michael Jackson: That's It" and became the box office champion of this type in the United States.
Justin? Bieber: Never Say Never: grossed $7.22 million in the U.S. at the home end. However, Jackson's documentary grossed 7.21 million at the domestic box office.
Not to mention how today's Bieber classmates are crazy to die, and now Bieber's proud record is also obsolete. was defeated by Li Donglai with a posture of breaking 100 million.
At the same time, the overseas box office also accumulated 168 million US dollars. Among them, the Chinese market once again contributed 265 million to the box office in the second week, and the domestic release exceeded 515 million in two weeks. That's the equivalent of nearly $7ooo dollars at the box office.
However, the overseas box office record Michael Jackson's concert rehearsal "That's It" attracted $261 million worldwide and $189 million overseas. Li Donglai's documentary, in the global box office, has already passed the "Michael of God", but the box office record outside of North America is very close, and it is only a matter of time before this record is broken.
A documentary achieved a box office of nearly 300 million within two weeks of its release, which made fans and fans around the world jaw-dropping.
The media also heard the uproar, especially Asia Meitu, who contributed a lot to the box office. Naturally, this information was also very positive. Chinese media reported: "The strongest solo documentary on God's Planet, ten days after its release, the North American box office exceeded 100 million, and the global box office also exceeded 270 million US dollars, breaking the global box office record for documentaries held by Michael Jackson......"
South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" used the words "unstoppable and brilliant" to describe Lee Donglai's present day. He also made a special comparison with Justin Bieber's troubles, Bieber broke the news last week that the popular tricycle driving in his hometown of Canada rushed onto the sidewalk and Gao rushed past the old man. was taken into the police station by the police, and he had already entered the palace, completely in a dead rhythm.
And Li Donglai, in addition to the constant crimson lace, does not smoke and basically does not drink. In a short period of time, he has created a huge life wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars. The investment involves mobile phone communications, casinos, clothing, movies, television, television stations, music and other projects, and it is also the most eye-catching "human being" in the London Olympics, and is praised by the media as "the strongest on the planet".
Bieber and Li Donglai have a similar history of fame, both of which became crazy that year. One is a song baby that became popular on the oil turtle network. One is talented, the global box office of his first movie exceeded 300 million, and 1Vs2o made him popular all over the world in an e-ring competition.
Coupled with the same young and handsome, many media like to compare the two together.
Bieber's popularity is still very popular today, and there are not a few brain-dead fans. But when put together with Li Donglai, the comparison between the two compartments has completely become the opposite of Li Donglai. I don't know how Bieber felt when he saw this.
Europe, on the other hand, was cautious, and they began to discuss "Li Donglai's documentary box office past Michael, did Li Donglai come to Michael?" â
This kind of deliberate behavior of picking topics has aroused the dissatisfaction of many Maishen fans, and some angry Li Dong came to black, and even openly abused, attacked, and accused on Twitter and Facebook.
As we all know, the cost of this kind of documentary that records the life experience of celebrities is not too high. And the one who took the lion's share was, of course, Li Donglai himself. If the box office breaks 300 million, most of it will go into Li Donglai's private pocket.
But Li Donglai's documentary actually surpassed Michael at the box office, which surprised Michael's fans.
"Is Li Donglai greater than Michael?"
Not necessarily. â
Michael has passed away, and he is one of the most indelible strokes in the history of world pop. When it comes to Li Donglai's achievements in film, Michael is indeed beyond his reach, but in terms of music and popularity, Li Donglai is still far behind. But it's so strange that this Asian star, a personal documentary that not too many people have watched before, actually broke Michael's record, which is incredible.
Even Li Donglai himself was very surprised by this achievement, and he wrote on his Twitter and Weibo pages: "I am proud of the achievements of "The Strongest on the Planet: Li Donglai Documentary", and I am very grateful to the fans, it is you who have set the highest grossing record in the history of your personal documentary." mJ is always the greatest! It's a great honor! â
A compliment to mJ temporarily stopped the anger of mJ fans.
Also worth mentioning this week is the animation "Forest Warrior", a new animated work by Blue Sky Studios, which finally exceeded $100 million at the box office five weeks after its release, recovering the cost of the film but still unable to change the fate of "the worst in history".
Under the guidance of the four-in-one of "zombies", "monsters", "people", and "Li Donglai", the sum of the Top 12 rushed to a peak of 310 million US dollars for the third time, directly breaking through the threshold of 300 million, which is the highest weekend box office since the opening of the summer file.
This result ranked No. 5 in the single-week revenue list in film history, even surpassing the total market of "Iron Man 3" week ($210 million) and "Degree and Passion 6" week of $249 million.
This is also the third box office after entering 2o13 "gaonetbsp; Next week, "The White House" starring Channing Tatum will face off head-on with "Spicy Hand Police Flower" teamed up by two silly big sisters, and Lee Dong-rae has temporarily coped with the future gifts for his daughters.
