On October 1st, "Diablo 2: The King of Destruction" landed in theaters around the world, and this sequel to "Diablo 1: The War of Original Sin" has already accumulated the expectations of many fans since the announcement of filming.

Not only did the leading actors who followed the popularity of the first work in the selection of talents, but in terms of directorship, the original director Alfonso was invited to direct again, and in terms of investment, it exceeded 130 million US dollars, which is more grand than the first one in terms of scenes.

And "Diablo 2: The King of Destruction" did not disappoint Universal-Gold Medal, this work directly refreshed the opening results of the Universal-Gold Group with a single-day North American box office of more than 60 million and a global box office of more than 110 million US dollars, making the senior management of the Universal-Gold Group smile.

Subsequently, although the trend of "Diablo 2: The King of Ruined Miè" has decreased, the global box office of more than 230 million US dollars in a single week has directly pushed "Diablo 2: The King of Ruined Miè" to the global box office of 340 million US dollars, which has made many film critics exclaim: Another work that has broken a billion US dollars at the global box office is coming.

It's hard to say whether it can break one billion, but "Diablo 2: The King of Ruined Miè" easily exceeded the global box office of $500 million in the third week, of which Huaxia contributed a lot of box office.

Originally, the Chinese market has undergone a series of policy stimulus, resulting in a significant increase in the number of theaters. Coupled with the arrival of the November Golden Week, a large number of working parties are on holiday. Then piles and piles entered the theaters, making the box office of the movie "Diablo 2: The King of Destruction" leaps and bounds in the Chinese market. In just seven days, the box office of "Diablo 2: The King of Destruction" in China exceeded 200 million, directly refreshing all the box office records in China, making the media once again exclaim the horror of Hollywood blockbusters, and also making the Hollywood threat theory appear again.

However, this time, the Hollywood threat was sprayed back as soon as it appeared.

"Hollywood blockbusters have an impact on domestic films? Of course, it caused an impact, and compared with the bad movies in China, compared with Hollywood masterpieces, they are simply scum. ”

"I'm not saying you're going to catch up with Hollywood special effects, and we know it's impossible. But you at least tell the story well. ”

"No matter how much Hollywood masterpieces pursue pictures and special effects, they will at least finish telling the most basic story, but what about domestic films? That "Wuji" is simply a shame! ”

"And "Diablo 2: The King of Ruined Miè" is not a Hollywood work, at least Gold Medal - Universal is a company under the Gold Group, and the Gold Group is listed in China, no matter how you look at it, it should be divided into domestic films."

"The production company and capital all come from China, so it should obviously be regarded as a Chinese movie, at least people in Japan will not exclude Sony's films from Hollywood."

In mid-November, Diablo 2: The King of Destruction essentially announced the end of its campaign in the global film market with a global box office of $810 million. Then there's Diablo 2: The King of Destruction shrinking its defenses, which will basically continue to reap the box office in the global market, but will never have an impact on other films.

But just when other film companies thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, it was November 21. "World of Warcraft 2: War of the Old Gods" was officially released worldwide.

This fantasy movie, which has more fans and expectations than "Diablo 2: The King of Ruined Miè", has just landed in the global film market, and it has set a new box office record for "Diablo 2: The King of Ruined Miè" with a single-day box office of 80 million in North America and $150 million worldwide. Many Diablo fans hate it to the core.

The record of "Diablo 2: The King of Destruction" was only created and kept for a month before it was broken by "World of Warcraft 2: War of the Old Gods", and they can be happy in their hearts.

Even if it is a film work, the fans overlap a lot.

But the fans are not happy. It is also difficult to stop the crazy attack of "World of Warcraft 2: Battle of the Old Gods" in the global film market, breaking 300 million in a single week and 200 million in the third week. broke 150 million in the fourth week, and in just one month, "World of Warcraft 2: War of the Old Gods" collected $700 million at the box office, which is not inferior to his predecessor, and it is one of the few sequels that may surpass the box office of the previous work.

Just like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings.

On December 25th, the storm caused by "World of Warcraft 2: Old Gods Wars" had just subsided from the world, and other movies were preparing to launch their own elaborate Christmas films, and the publicity of "The Hobbit 1" hit overwhelmingly.

Unlike "Diablo 2: King of Destruction" and "World of Warcraft 2: War of the Old Gods", which were not blocked by blockbusters when they were released, "The Hobbit" was blocked by "Harry Potter" from the beginning.

This movie, which is often released on Christmas slots, and every sequel to it, is highly anticipated by fans, and although it is not very big in scenes, no one wants to compete with it, except for "The Hobbit".

As soon as the two sides faced each other, it was like a thunderbolt hitting the ground, detonating the Christmas box office war.

Harry Potter has sold 450 million copies worldwide and has fans all over the world, but The Lord of the Rings is definitely not bad.

"Harry Potter" was released one movie after another, accumulating terrifying popularity for the entire series, but "The Hobbit", as a prequel to "The Lord of the Rings", has received a lot of fan attention from the beginning.

The two sides are almost the same in terms of fan base and attention.

Logically speaking, these two masterpieces will never collide head-on, but this time it was such a coincidence.

For Time Warner, "Harry Potter" is their trump card, which is usually played at Christmas, and then sweeps a large number of box offices from all over the world, thus dominating the entire Christmas slot.

For the gold medal group, there are too many good works this year, especially in the first half of the year, in order to avoid the impact of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, they took the initiative to start the schedule of July, August and September, and now it is the harvest season.

In front, "Diablo 2: The King of Destruction" and "World of Warcraft 2: War of the Old Gods" are kicking off, and "Fast and Furious 4", "Silent Hill 2", and "The Incredible Hulk" are waiting to be released.

And Christmas is a very important schedule for North America, so the only one who can carry the banner is "The Hobbit".

So even though he knew that "Harry Potter" was in the way, Universal Gold did not hesitate to set "The Hobbit" on Christmas.
