Chapter 967 170 million first weekend box office

The box office of the Titanic in history was actually as uncomfortable as constipation.

Because of the lack of publicity and the general public's lack of interest in a shipwreck movie, when the Titanic was released on December 19, 1997, the box office was only more than $2 million, and the box office in the first weekend was only 28,638,131.

And at this moment, the box office at the zero point of the Nick reached 12 million US dollars (writing 60 million before was purely a brain pump, because it was only a result of "Avengers 4" in 2020, which was too in 1995, and it is more appropriate to correct it to 12 million!) ), which is six times the box office of the Titanic zero point field in history.

Doesn't this mean that the current Titanic may also have 6 times the first-weekend box office, that is, a first-weekend box office of $170 million?

The first three weeks of the release of "Titanic" in history were quite overwhelming, and just when Cameron himself was almost desperate, the box office of "Titanic" suddenly rose to a strange degree from the third week.

By the 6th week of its release, the box office of this movie, since it suppressed the blockbusters released at the same time, finally occupied the top of the box office for ten consecutive weeks, which can be called a miraculous achievement.

Later, after investigation, I learned that this was a miracle born by word of mouth.

And also fortunately, the historical Titanic was very bad at the box office in the early stage, so many overseas studios directly gave up the introduction, so the Titanic was not released globally in the early stage.

It wasn't until two months after the release in North America that the Titanic was released in the second country, and at this time the Titanic's rice country had become famous, countless people were moved to tears by this movie, all the news media reported the popularity of this movie, and even many people have crowned the title of the first masterpiece of the 20th century on the head of the Titanic, which has led to Titanic accumulating a lot of curiosity in other countries around the world.

Could it be that after a two-month delay in finally being released, it quickly sparked a global movie-watching frenzy, and almost everyone came to watch this movie curiously that no one can not be moved by, and the special effects are also earth-shattering.

As a result, the Titanic created an unprecedented miracle, and the domestic box office in the United States was only 650 million US dollars, which was actually the third in history at that time.

But the global box office except for the North American market has received 1.45 billion US dollars, which is 5 times that of the previous first place, and when the global box office statistics are completed, people are surprised to find that in addition to Fuso, Titanic won the box office championship of all the countries released that year, which is something that the later "Avengers 4" cannot do!

This is the first film in history to truly dominate the world.

And a few years later, countless viewers sighed that Hollywood's real history of sweeping the world actually started with this Titanic.

Back in this world, compared with the Titanic in another world, the Titanic in this world has made up for all his shortcomings.

Because of the live broadcast of the shipwreck jointly done by Boss Jia and Fox TV, "Titanic" is no longer the movie in history that no one cared about and lacked interest in the early days of its release, on the contrary, there are countless people looking forward to the release of this movie, so it set a new record of $12 million for the zero point ticket king.

Of course, there are good and bad things about this, but the disadvantage is that because the audience's psychological expectations for the Titanic have been raised a lot by Boss Jia's publicity, if the quality of "Titanic" fails, cannot meet the expected quality, and cannot satisfy the audience, then the reputation of the Titanic will decline instantly, and the subsequent movie box office will also explode in various ways, and it may not even be half of the 2.1 billion global box office at that time.

There are many such examples, especially in the Chinese film market, many movies like all kinds of braggadocio in the early days of release, eager to blow up the movie to be the first in the world, and then it explodes, which is the negative impact of artificially raising the expectations of the movie.

But on the contrary, if the quality of this movie is indeed extremely high, even if the audience's psychological expectations are raised by one or two times, it can still be satisfied, then the popularity of this movie will also rise wildly.

So two days later, the first weekend of the release of "Titanic" ended, and Boss Jia, who saw the final box office results, couldn't help but gasp. And James Cameron fainted with joy.

Of course, the first weekend box office of 170 million, which was six times that calculated by Boss Jia according to the box office of the zero point field, was also slapped hard in the face of reality, but the person who slapped it was very happy.

Because according to the final results, the opening weekend box office of "Titanic" exceeded $200 million, reaching $204,132,125, which is meant to make all Americans ...... Whether it is a filmmaker or an ordinary person, they are all stunned by the data.

According to the data released later, during the two days of the entire weekend, "Titanic" accounted for 42% of the film schedule on Saturday, and this film schedule rose to 68% of the horror on the weekend, and the movie "Titanic" accounted for 2/3 of the movie theater schedule.

This is nothing, the real horror is the attendance rate, according to statistics, the attendance rate of "Titanic" in the first week is as high as 62%, which means that if there are 1 million seats in all the film studio shows in the first weekend, then there will be 620,000 seats.

And this still includes the morning shows when no one watches the movie, if you put aside the number of shows before 1 p.m., then this attendance rate has reached an even more astonishing 86%, which is truly invincible.

In one weekend and two days, "Titanic" created an unprecedented record of invincibility for more than ten years, crushing more than twice the previous box office record in the first weekend.

This is a data that puts infinite pressure on latecomers, not to mention wanting to break this record, even if you think of this record, future filmmakers will probably have a headache to the point of exploding.

Well, if you want to break this record, I'm afraid you will have to wait for "Avengers 4" more than ten years later, during which "Titanic" may be overwhelmed.

The first weekend box office is just the beginning, with the release of "Titanic" to the second week, the miracle is still being created, the second week "Titanic" won a total of $380 million at the box office, plus the previous $170 million box office, in just 9 days, Titanic won $550 million at the North American box office, and the Titanic in the previous life, after 30 weeks of release, only $650 million at the box office.

It is said that after seeing this data, many film company owners locked themselves in the cinema for a day, watching "Titanic" again and again, trying to dig out the secret of success.

In the end, they suddenly realized that love + handsome guys and beauties + special effects + big director + big money = Titanic.

Although I don't know if this formula is right or wrong, Hollywood blockbusters in the future will basically follow this formula, and the only thing that can be cut from this formula is about the big director.
