When the curtain came down on November 11-13, the latest weekend box office numbers were released.

At the top of the list is a crazy movie!

"Beep beep", a Volkswagen bus drove out of control into people's sight, the broken horn sounded in people's ears, and a tire flew out!

Seeing this box office, the shareholders of DreamWorks and all the LMS investors suddenly wanted to shout together: I love Ye Wei!

"This damn ......" The world is balanced, some people are happy, some people are unhappy, some people are happy, some people are angry, Ye Wei is damned! The part of the media that sang Ye Wei before was dumb, whether it was entertainment newspapers or gossip tabloids...... My face hurts, and I'm really being in-your-face!

"Little Sunshine Beauty"!

With a box office of 40.31 million, there is no doubt that it occupies the top position, champion!

On the big stage of the North American film market, there is a problem family dancing in unison! They are dancing to their heart's content, looking at the others with a provocative gaze from time to time.

On the screen, they are a group of losers, but off the screen they are a group of big winners, absolutely not even 0. 00000000001% uncertain big winner!

All the other new films of the week are like little sheep trembling under a ferocious beast, with no way, no hope, no box office.

It's like the townspeople in "Alien Monsters" who are devoured by monsters that emerge from the center of the earth at any time, and this horror continues through the week of November 11-17.

There is a situation called complete victory, LMS-VS the other four new films, 75,382,272:31,889,657, and also won 43.49 million, which is 10 million+ more than their total.

LMS-VS six new films and sub-weekly films, 75,382,272:69,722,210, also won 5.66 million, and their total production cost is about 60 times that of LMS!

There is a movie called the phenomenon that is now LMS!

Based on its internal accounts, it needs to have a box office of 75 million to see a net profit. It's only the first week in North America, and the same net profit and the evaluation expectations of many institutions that are usually never seen have been achieved!

In a week, not only did it recover its production and distribution costs, but DreamWorks also earned 4.5 million in distribution shares, and Hanks and Roberts each received 2.25 million in dividends.

In fact, because there are still 380,000 more box office, he began to make money in the first week, and then he made a lot of money.

That's not VIY's style!

Earn a lot of money!!

People look at this week's rankings and laugh and drop their jaws with their jaws dropped, and chin doctors are busy.

The 75.38 million in the first week is not surprising in the field of blockbusters, but in the comedy movies (including various themes, excluding cartoons), it ranks fourth in film history:

Ranking-year--movie--first-week box office-average single library

No. 1 - 2002 - "Ace Cheap Spy 3" - 107 million - 29,617

No. 2 - 2003 - "Fake Gods" - 100000 - 28,730

No. 3 - 1999 - "Ace Cheap Spy 2" - 82.21 million - 24,824

No. 4 - 2005 - "Little Sunshine Beauty" - 75.38 million - 24,192

No. 5 - 2002 - "Men in Black 2" - 73.18 million - 20,575 (two days before the first week, 9 days1.) 0.8 billion)

No. 6 - 1999 - "Fake Dad" - 70.49 million - 23,288

7th place - 2005 - "The Longest Yard" - 69.7 million - 19,181

It's not a sequel, it's no special effects, it's not a pure commercial comedy, there's no Jim Carrey, there's no Adam Sandler, there's no tens of millions of distribution fees...... LMS is a literary film that aims to win awards! This achievement is already very amazing. It's naturally number one in the "Comedy-Road Trip" category.

The highest-grossing road movie ever!

The original first-week champion was 22.11 million (an average of 8,162) in "Have We Arrived?" at the beginning of this year, and LMS directly threw it to the unknown.

The championship is still 1 of "Dumb and Dumb" in 94 for the time being. 2.7 billion, but it's only a matter of time before it is surpassed by LMS, and the same is true for "Have We Arrived?" at 82.67 million, while "A Cup of Life" with 71.5 million and "Hala on the Road" with 68.54 million have been surpassed. LMS is in third place for the time being, a week.

Road Movie Awakening!

No matter how many years pass, no matter whether the road movie can be lively in the future, LMS is a milestone, standing there, telling the world that this is a new pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info!

When something happens, people are shocked at the same time, it's easy to accept it, and it's better to understand than a pseudo-documentary miracle.

Because this is not a group of unknown people who made a movie and released it in a few clicks, LMS has a 3A dream cast, with Ye Wei, and the attention has been high since it was announced last year. Since the second half of this year, Ye Wei's fame has continued to rise, and "Exorcism Video" and the rating turmoil have made him reach a hot state among the public and fan groups.

DreamWorks has invested in decent publicity money, which has occupied the public's attention before the release, and the word-of-mouth explosion after the release has completely attracted fans.

The people who watch movies are called middle and high-end audiences, and most of them are middle-class families who can read newspapers and magazines, and LMS is a middle-class family comedy, so the evaluation-box office conversion rate is very high, and people are amazed at how good it is, people want to watch it, the whole family can go, couples can go on a date, and one person can also ......

In terms of word-of-mouth, when the situation is "Hanks' new film is very good" and "Hanks has a breakthrough in his new film", the fan box office realization rate will be very high.

In this era of entertainment to death, there are more people who ask "Who is Einstein?" than "Who is Tom Hanks?", which can be proved by the Q score, the latest Q score statistics (May to August this year), on the positive Q score, Einstein is 56 points, Hanks is 58 points, and Ye Wei is 16 points (falling below 20 points for the first time).

Now, in mid-November 2005, it's certainly more than just 16 points. Back to 20 points? TET-only or LMS-only?

Cultural Icons Rise!

Ye Wei, a child prodigy who is 17 years and nine months old.

I don't know how many records have been and will be broken, but there is no doubt about it. A lot.

A week has passed, and the LMS reviews are still terrible, with 100% freshness, 95% likability, IMDb-8. 5 minutes, steady dìng down, can't move.

"The Wedding is Coming" is 86% fresh, 91% like, IMDb-7. 5 points, box office 38.56 million/62.48 million, production fee 2 million

"Exorcism Video" is 91% fresh, 74% likeable, IMDb-8. 0 points, box office 1. 42.3 billion / 2. 1.1 billion (not finished), production fee 450,000

As BoxOfficeMojo's news report "VIY-ON-FIER" said, let alone how old he is, let alone two years, any filmmaker who has done this in the first three films as a director/screenwriter/producer (only LMS is not a screenwriter) has this result, and it is completed in a normal five or six years!

LMS is Ye Wei's first serious film in nature and distribution, and it was released on a large scale at the opening, winning the weekly championship cleanly and setting a new record in the zào genre.

Live up to expectations!

1。 300 million North American box office?

Yahoo News said, and Variety also said, that it was almost 100% sure of something. No one will laugh at Ye Wei anymore, this has become one of his god-like deeds.

If a miracle happens to a person, he may be lucky.

If one miracle after another happens to the same person, it's not luck, it's not a miracle, it's damn strength!

At 17 years and nine months old, VIY has incredible strength.

At this moment, "Little Sunshine Beauty" won the championship with 75.38 million dominance, and the light was fully blooming!

"We were very pleasantly surprised. It's no wonder that CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg personally spoke joyfully to the press: "The LMS is an amazing achievement, and it hits all audiences. ”

Katzenberg also revealed that LMS has recouped its investment, and DreamWorks will make huge profits on this project, which is really good news for shareholders to not blow bubbles for a long time.

"In the future, we will continue to cooperate with Ye Wei on more projects, and there are already projects in progress. In the end, he also gave shareholders and fans a pleasant expectation.

DreamWorks is very happy, Preton is very excited, and the Dream Chasing Alliance is very boiling, and it is not only Katzenberg who is cheering! The 162 shareholders of the Dream Chasing Alliance are the most popular group of people on the Harvard-Westlake campus recently, and they are also a group of people who are constantly mentioned by the media.

But the world is really balanced, Sony has recently gone from the top of his head to his toenails, miserable! Gross profit and net profit, no matter how you calculate these accounts, have lost to your grandmother's family.

The fifth week's "Ghost Mist" lost (production fee of 18 million, box office of 29.32 million), and the third week's "The Legend of Zorro" also lost (production fee of 75 million, box office of 40.48 million).

The crazy fiasco of "Jumanji 2" was only a loss of money, with 9.18 million in the first week...... It's really unpredictable, although the previous survey and evaluation response was not good, Sony thought that it could make up for it with brand and publicity, and didn't expect a big outbreak, and the first Wednesday was not too much, right?

Outcome......

The film market is not an ATM, no big or small company has absolute control, DreamWorks has "Escape from Clone Island", and Sony has "Jumanji 2".

Because it is up to the audience to decide whether to watch a movie or not in the end.

"Jumanji 2 is underrated. Roy Brewer, head of distribution at Sony Pictures, told the press that he seemed unconvinced, as if he wanted to say that LMS was overrated.

Maybe there will be critics who agree with this statement, but the audience doesn't care!

Maybe someone overestimated LMS before, and obviously it can't be estimated, and the greedy Wall Street doesn't estimate it at 0. 9-100 million. Now, ecstatic Wall Street is predicting the LMS's final North American table, and even the dumbest analyst won't stop at 1. 300 million, but I don't dare to directly get 1 in the first week*2. 5 billion.

The first week can't explain a qiē, like this year's "Enemy of Love" only had 58.31 million in the first week, but it ended with 1. 7.7 billion paintings, 69.7 million "The Longest Code" is 1. 5.8 billion.

They are all pure commercial comedies, and LMS is a literary film + outbreak after all, and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be released again next week, so it's hard to say what the situation is.

Paul Degarabedian, a senior analyst in the industry, said: "There is no conflict between LMS and Harry Potter, and with such high ratings, it has its own independent trend. Ye Wei is a little conservative, 1. 400 million would be a reasonable assessment, and if it can be nominated for an Oscar, it will create another 10 million or 20 million box office for it, reaching 1. 5-1。 600 million. ”

Ye Wei is a little conservative!?

The same guy had an evaluation of only 100 million the day before the release of LMS.

LMS's first qiē is being reported by the global entertainment media, and people's pursuit of Ye Wei has also risen to a new stage, talking about him, talking about how LMS can do in the second week, whether it will fall off a cliff like its amazing opening, and whether it can do anything during the awards season......

What the outside world doesn't know is that as early as after the weekend box office came out, under Hanks's construction, DreamWorks raised the public relations fee for LMS by 2 million (a total of 3.5 million).

All this money is used for the best director.

VIY, it's red and purple!
