Chapter 847: The Record Maker

Maybe it's really old, and the sky by the window is slightly white, Rupert? Murdoch got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, his sleep quality had been terrible since the 'bug door', and he had been in trouble with his children over the family property recently, but fortunately, the pressure from the federal government and Walt Disney was finally relieved over time and his forced breakup of News Corp.

And he promised Ryan? After Jenkins's conditions, the imminent divorce battle also dissipated, and although he paid twice as much as the $30 million on the prenuptial agreement, he finally got rid of the woman who left him with no face.

Walking onto the spacious balcony, Murdoch looked in the direction of Los Angeles, he said that he did not expect that the young man who was only thirty years old would force him into such a situation, although his media empire was not completely divided, but at least for twenty years, I am afraid that there will be no chance to compete with Disney again.

Even, this once incomparably large empire will become weaker and weaker in the internal friction of several sons and daughters who have become enemies.

Despite falling into such a situation, Murdoch didn't want to fight back, but now he has no strength to fight back, and what he wants most now is to see Disney unlucky, especially in big investment projects.

Even if it is as powerful as Walt Disney, if The Avengers fails, it will be a huge loss.

Sitting at the table on the balcony, the butler brought not only coffee, but also the newspaper he must read every day.

Unlike in the past, Murdoch did not look at the political and financial pages first, but directly turned to the entertainment version, yesterday was the time when "The Avengers" fully landed in North American theaters, and now the box office on the first day should be released.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the white porcelain coffee cup in Murdoch's hand fell heavily on the tray of the same material, and the tray immediately split apart, and the brown liquid splattered out. Falling on the top of the newspaper, next to the stains, is an unusually striking number, this number with a little bit of coffee, like gold? Kerry's exaggerated expression was average, mocking some people's wishful thinking.

"A new single-day box office record in North America, "The Avengers" set a zào! $88.95 million! ”

This is the headline of the entertainment edition, and this is a number that will inevitably be remembered in the history of North American and even the entire world cinema!

After taking a few deep breaths, the expressionless Murdoch calmed down, as one of the owners of the six major Hollywood studios. He naturally knew the horror of this number.

This is not the final box office, not the first week box office, just the North American box office of "The Avengers" for one day!

For the sake of his own body, Murdoch closed the newspaper, but the figure of $88.95 million, like a spell, was always haunted in his mind, and he could not have a moment of peace......

On Saturday, the Avengers' watch remained strong. As the good word-of-mouth spread by the audience, the film has been hard to find.

Although 4,349 theaters in North America have been rehearsed at full power, the surging crowds of moviegoers still led to the slow response of the ticketing system of Emperor Entertainment Group, the largest cinema chain in the United States, due to too many guests buying tickets at the same time, and the response was slow, and it almost crashed; In some theaters, the self-service POS machines were damaged by the overload of customers swiping too many cards, and tickets could only be sold in cash.

If you don't book your tickets in advance. Now the theater scene can't buy tickets for "The Avengers" that day.

When Sunday arrived, "The Avengers" harvested $81.15 million from North America on the second day of its release, which is also the highest Saturday box office ever in North America!

At this time. The box office statistics of the other 114 countries and regions where the film was released at the same time have also been completed, and the global box office of "The Avengers" reached $255.55 million on the first day of the world!

In a short period of time, "The Avengers" even set off a movie-watching boom that surpassed "Avatar".

As the scope of the film screening expanded. There are also some voices of disagreement, even cynicism.

"There are many kinds of cinematic rhythms, there are visual rhythms, there are emotional rhythms. For film, emotional rhythm is a necessary condition, visual rhythm is an irrelevant condition. The emotionless visual rhythm movies are so sleepy that they are in full swing, and the audience is like watching a few runny kids fight over a piece of bubble gum, and it's just hilarious to pretend to be interested in waving the flag. ”

It's impossible to please everyone in a superhero movie like this, especially those who think they have an artistic eye, and the film itself is not made for these people.

"No one forces you to buy a ticket to watch a superhero movie, if you want to watch a slow-paced movie that promotes the development of the story with emotion, you can go to the art theater, why bother to watch a commercial film and find yourself guilty!"

The reply post that follows can be said to be the best response to the kind of movie-watching crowd, after all, even fools know what Hollywood superhero movies look like, but they want to use a literary mind, deliberately use an 'artistic' vision, and run into commercial theaters to scrutinize, it can only be said that these people have a strict masochistic tendency.

On Sunday, the popularity of "The Avengers" began to decline, the shortage of movie tickets across North America was somewhat relieved, and the long ticket queues in major theaters were shortened.

$65.57 million!

This is the North American box office result of the third day of "The Avengers"!

When the new week began, the first week box office of "The Avengers" in North America stayed at the terrifying figure of $235.57 million, which is also a new first-week box office record in North America, directly increasing the original record held by "The Hunger Games 2: Sparks" by more than $70 million!

And such a hot box office blowout is not just happening in North America.

In 11 countries and regions, including Hong Kong, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Central America, and Bolivia, "The Avengers" also set a new box office record for its premiere; In other regions, "The Avengers" also achieved the second or third highest box office record in history.

In three days, the world set off a superhero craze called "Avengers", under this craze, the global box office of "The Avengers" easily exceeded the $700 million mark in the first week, and the figure of $711.31 million was also the first time in world film history.

Perhaps it is the sluggish relationship of those former well-known film critics, and the global box office has been soaring, "The Avengers" has a very good professional and audience reputation.

On "Rotten Tomatoes", "The Avengers" has a positive rating of 95 percent, and the number of "Avengers" by market research agency Cinema.Score shows that "The Avengers" has the highest audience rating of A+, and it is the first film to receive A+ praise in 2010.

And on the Ryan Disney Family Online website, the fan rating of "The Avengers" is as high as 97 points!

After the opening of the weekday, "The Avengers", like all movies, began to decline to a certain extent in the normal law, the box office on Monday plummeted to $26.5 million, and the remaining Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays basically remained at this number, and when the film was released in North America for a full week, the North American box office had reached $349.88 million!

In terms of global box office, it is close to the $1 billion mark!

A new round of weekend box office statistics in North America kicked off again, and "The Avengers" also has a real competitor, and "Kung Fu Dream" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures deliberately put the schedule in May in order to avoid "Toy Story 3", which has some overlapping audiences.

After all, in the eyes of most people, there is a clear difference between the audience of "Kung Fu Dream" and the audience of "The Avengers".

It's just that the popularity of "The Avengers" far exceeds Sony's Columbia Pictures estimates, and the humor and scale of the film are also very suitable for some minors to watch.

On Friday, "The Avengers," which had been in theaters for a week, ushered in a sharp rebound, with the North American box office plummeting to more than $32.5 million, while "Kung Fu Dream" on the first day of painting was only about $15 million......

For its part, Sony Colombia has realized that things are not too good.

In fact, Sony Entertainment's top management found out about this situation last week, but as the release time of "Kung Fu Dream" approached, they could no longer afford to make any adjustments, otherwise the $50 million publicity cost would be wasted.

Such a loss is even more unbearable for them.

As a result, "Kung Fu Dream" fell victim to "The Avengers" crushing the box office list this weekend.

On Saturday, "The Avengers" made a strong rise at the North American box office, earning $49.5 million in one day, and although it slipped on Sunday, it still earned more than $38.5 million.

The North American box office of "The Avengers" in its second weekend was as high as $120.12 million!

As a competitor in the same schedule, the three-day box office of "Kung Fu Dream" is not even comparable to the box office figure of "The Avengers" on any day, and the executives of Sony Columbia Pictures are destined to cry and faint in the toilet.

Ten days after its global release, "The Avengers" grossed more than $470 million in North America and nearly $1.3 billion worldwide!

It is not only the box office of the film that is a big hit, but also the peripheral products such as comics, dolls, toys and character image licensing, which also bring huge revenue to Disney, and in the same ten days, if not anything else, Disney took $285.9 million from all over the world just for character image licensing!

In order to further promote the film, Disney also announced that the Marvel Universe project has entered the second phase, including "Thor 2", "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Ant-Man", "Avengers 2" and many other films have entered the official preparation stage!
