Chapter 393: The First Five in Film History

I have to say that the most fundamental factor in the excellent box office results of "Demacia: Glory" is that the quality of the film itself is enough to pass the test.

Without this foundation, no matter how good the IP adaptation or powerful publicity is, it is very easy for the movie to pounce into a dog.

Now, many of the so-called box office miracles are built on the condition that the quality of the movie itself is good enough. It seems that in the past, the kind of projects that purely relied on publicity, sparse movies, and could still sell big have become more and more difficult to see - the audience is becoming more and more mature and less and less difficult to fool.

"Demacia: Glory" didn't do particularly well at the box office in its first week in North America. Although it has stepped into the ranks of successful films, after all, it is not like in China, which directly caused a major earthquake in the entire industry.

However, from the second week onwards, its power began to show itself gradually - the box office dropped slightly, but it turned out not to be much.

Many audiences did not enter the cinema to watch the movie for the first time, but it does not mean that they have no expectations for the movie, and many people choose to wait and see the situation.

With the next more and more publicity about League of Legends and a relatively stable reputation, a large number of viewers who previously chose to wait and see have entered the cinema one after another.

Among them, some of the people who were conquered by the movie will go to the second brush, and some will recommend the film to their friends on their social media accounts......

And these have made the North American box office of "Demacia: Glory" remain high in the follow-up trend.

By the third week, the North American box office had exceeded $200 million.

According to the results of negotiations between Wedo North America and the corresponding distribution companies and theaters, the screening time of this film will last for two months.

If the situation is optimistic, it is not impossible for the total box office in North America to hit 300 million.

This achievement is not comparable to the expected $850 million box office of "Glory" in Chinese mainland. And it's not quite comparable to some high-grossing movies produced in Hollywood - such as "Black Panther 2".

The main market for "Black Panther 2" is still in North America. The treatment between the two is like being transferred in Chinese mainland.

The first part of the North American box office exceeded 700 million US dollars, although the "Black Panther 2" is slightly lower, but the final box office will not be less than 600 million - equivalent to a two-fold difference.

But if you want to calculate the total global box office, "Black Panther 2" is still not comparable to "Demacia: Glory".

At the Chinese box office and the North American box office alone, "Glory" was able to earn nearly $1.2 billion. The box office in the rest of the world, the global box office of "Demacia: Glory", has reached the point of more than 1.5 billion US dollars.

This is already comparable to "The Avengers".

Of course, the reason why this can be so, the local box office in Chinese mainland is extremely powerful, that must be the most important reason.

In the future, if you look a little further back, "Glory" may not be able to hit the $2 billion mark, but at least it has a chance to hit $1.7 billion.

If it can be completed, then it will squeeze out "Jurassic World" in the global box office charts, enter the top five, and be included in fifth place. The movies on it are all famous - "Avatar", "Titanic", "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", "Avengers 3", just these four.

There is no doubt that "Demacia: Glory" has made a very brilliant start to the League of Legends series of movies.

Needless to say, in the future, the League of Legends series of movies will become one of the most valuable movie series in the world. Even if the later films can't reach the achievement of "Glory", just like Marvel's superheroes, as long as there is a certain quality assurance, then the film will basically not pounce, at best, it is a question of how much money to make.

……

Chris sitting at home. Evans, seeing the relevant box office reports, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart at all: Now, who dares to say that he is a superhero superstar?!

Speaking of which, the total box office results of the films he played, especially commercial films, seem to be quite good.

The role of 'Captain America' made him a household name around the world.

Three "Captain America" and four "Avengers...... If any star can achieve such box office results in a movie starring in a few years, then he has properly entered the ranks of first-line superstars.

But the success is also the American team, and the defeat is also the American team.

He acted in superhero movies.

No matter how well-known it is, the only person people know is Steven. Rogers instead of him Chris. Evans. It's as if he's left the role of 'Team America' and he's useless.

In a sense, it is.

From the superhero series to the superstar who became popular, that like Tom. Cruise, Tom. There's a big difference between Hanks and the like, so-called true superstars. Even Robert Downey Jr. and John Depp are not real superstars.

Indeed, actors like Donnie or Depp, when they play their most famous roles, "Iron Man" and "Captain Jack", will get a huge salary that will make the outside world jaw-dropping. But without these roles, it is difficult to get the price that matches.

But even so, Donnie and Depp are far better than Evans in terms of actor status.

Evans seems to be famous all over the world as the 'American team', but the salary he can get is far from that much.

There is an agreement, when he filmed "Avengers 1", the salary was only hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then it slowly increased, but under the constraints of the sequel terms, it was not too high, at least it was not as terrifying as Downey to make an Avengers, and he would have to get tens of millions of dollars more.

It is precisely for this reason that he was attracted by the tens of millions of salaries offered by Wedo Entertainment to go to China to make a film.

However, it is precisely that Chris. Evans was able to get such a good chance.

He is not satisfied with just being a superhero, and the huge success of "Glory" has given him the capital to transform.

Of the top five films in global film history at the box office, he can now monopolize two.

"Avengers 3" plays the American team and is one of the leading actors; played Galen in "Glory", and he is also one of the leading actors.

Being able to achieve such high results through two different characters and two different series obviously helps him to embark on the road to real supergiants in the future.

Not to mention anything else, now as long as he takes on commercial films, no one can send him away with millions of dollars. He has already proved in "Demacia: Glory" that he is still capable of carrying the box office banner of top commercial production after leaving the role of "American Team"!
