Supposedly, Megill's estimate is not wrong, the total box office of the film is 6 times that of the opening weekend, and it is also one of Hollywood's tried and tested experiences, and there is no mistake.

The reason why only the box office of the first weekend is counted is because the United States is generally used to watching movies on weekends, and there are very few movies on weekdays, and the box office of the movies on Monday to Friday for 5 days adds up, which may be less than half of the box office on Saturday.

Besides, this is a box office of 200 million US dollars, which is enough to become the box office champion of the entire 1995 and rank in the top 40 domestic box office in American film history.

And the children's enthusiasm is a brain, and they usually have to go to class, from Monday to Friday, there is no time to run out to watch movies, it is impossible to create a high box office, and in the end, there is no box office of 200 million US dollars!

But Megill was doomed to miscalculate, because he forgot that while the children did have to go to class on Monday, all the children had a chance to get together.

Although the children have generated more than $30 million at the box office by this time, they are still a small number of children, about less than 10%.

Once these children get together, they naturally start to discuss the plot of Pokemon wildly, and the remaining 90% of the children who have not yet watched the movie begin to itch.

Especially after being promoted by the students for a week, the students who discussed Mewtwo Dream and Phoenix, as well as three-D animation and other themes, couldn't wait to rush to the cinema as soon as the weekend came.

By the way, Pokemon rely on their cute appearance, and they also have a huge market among girls, although these girls don't usually play games, but the animation really never lets go.

And the children in the United States are more open, boyfriends and girlfriends in junior high school abound, as a boyfriend, it is normal to invite your girlfriend to go to a movie, or invite a girl you want to chase to the movie.

Even if these boys have already seen it beforehand.

So when the box office of the second week came out, the weekend box office was even more terrifying than the box office of the first weekend, creating an astonishing result of 40 million US dollars, if you count the total box office of the previous 5 days, the box office of the entire second week reached 50 million US dollars, plus the 40 million US dollars of the first week, it is a full 90 million US dollars.

When Megill saw the box office data for the second week, he was basically speechless, and he no longer dared to predict the box office of Pokemon.

"The box office of this third week should not exceed that of the second week......" At the end, Megill muttered, he originally thought that this sentence would never hit you, but when the total box office of the third week, 62 million US dollars, came out, Megill almost went crazy, he shouted "Demon", and the whole person almost fainted.

Later, someone analyzed the box office data and found that in fact, the box office of "Pokemon" in the third week was not very demonic, because the main audience basically watched the movie in the first two weeks, and since the third week, it is rare to see children watching the movie alone.

But on the contrary, the number of people who dragged their families to watch movies began to increase.

The children who can watch the movie alone should be around 12 years old, but these children only account for about half of the Pokemon audience, and the other half of the main audience is under 12 years old.

These children are not able to go to the movies on their own, they can only ask their parents to take them to the movies.

At the beginning, the parents were naturally reluctant, because they found out that this was an animated film, and it was also a very ordinary film in the mouth of film critics, so they naturally had no interest, so they kept dragging their children and did not take them to the cinema.

But these parents didn't expect their children's obsession with Pokemon, especially when the few students in the class who watched Pokemon began to talk wildly about Pokemon in the class, boasting that they had experienced an epic movie in the cinema that they had never experienced before, where could these children still bear it!

Anyone who raises children at home knows that children are actually the toughest creatures in the world, and they can fight for what they like for half a year or even more than a year, even if they just lie on the road and cry.

Ordinary parents can't stand their children's begging at all, not to mention that all the children ask is to watch a movie as a family, what a warm request, how can a good parent not even agree to this kind of request!

So after two weeks or so of tossing and turning for children under the age of 12, their parents finally couldn't take it anymore and started taking their children to the cinema.

is different from the pit for one child who watched the movie before, this time there are at least two pits for a child, and more often there are three pits, and the box office is naturally doubling up.

So as soon as the results of the third and fourth weeks came out, they completely fell out of everyone's eyes.

After generating a total of $62 million in the third week, the box office in the fourth week actually reached $76 million, and the total box office has exceeded $200 million, reaching the point of $238 million.

This is only the fourth week, and judging from this data, breaking through $300 million is basically a sure thing.

By the fifth week, the box office had finally stopped growing and had fallen to $42 million.

It fell to $26 million in the sixth week

In the seventh week, it fell below $12 million

Since week 8, the box office has basically stabilized below $10 million.

Although the movie in the United States has a release period of about half a year, in fact, the box office in the first 10 weeks is basically all the box office, and the final Pokemon North American box office is fixed at 320 million US dollars, and there is no doubt that it won the 1995 United States box office championship.

Even in the box office of the entire United States before 1995, it can be ranked in the top ten.

Not to mention the global box office journey of Pokemon next!

————————————————

But before we talk about the global box office of Pokemon, we need to talk about another movie, as well as another film production company.

"Bastards, these bastards actually say that our movies can't even compare to Pokemon on a finger, these bastards!" In the office of Pixar Studios, Ed Catmoore, the vice president of Pixar Studios, cursed while carefully looking at the expression of the boss next to him.

"Don't scold, these critics are right, I watched "Pokemon Mewtwo's Counterattack" more than three times, this movie surpasses our "Toy Story" in terms of production and connotation, and it is normal to lose to each other!" The bald middle-aged man said lightly.

Oh, it seems, the boss doesn't seem to be angry, but Vice President Ed Catmoore shuddered, he was very familiar with the current boss, and his calm was often the calm before the storm.

"Come on, the director, screenwriter, etc., everyone is called over, let's have a meeting!" The bald middle-aged man added, Ed Catmoor rubbed his head, and it seemed that he was going to be ready to take the storm of President Jobs.
