Watching the movies directed by Li Mu is the business of the audience, but it is not only the audience who cares about the box office of the movies directed by Li Mu.

First of all, directors, stars, producers, entertainment company CEOs, theater chains, and theater directors in the entertainment industry, as a member of the entertainment industry, as relevant stakeholders, of course care about the box office performance of Li Mu's movies.

The second is the departments and leaders at all levels of the relevant mouths, in a sense, Li Mu's film in the world itself represents that these people usually do their work more effectively.

Again, of course, it is the people around Li Mu, such as his parents, relatives, seven aunts and eight aunts, classmates from childhood to adulthood, teachers, and even relatives on Liu Yifei's side, these people are also very concerned about the market performance of Li Mu's movies.

Especially Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli, basically every time Li Mu's new movie is released, she has to grasp the box office information of the movie as soon as possible, and even want to know how much box office Li Mu's movie has won this time, but also to know as much as possible how much money Li Mu can get from this new movie.

In the end, there are a large number of ordinary netizens who have never watched Li Mu's movies at all.

Some of these people are temporarily financially unwilling to do such a "luxury" as watching movies, and some are simply not very interested in the art of film, but this does not prevent these people from being proud of the great success of Li Mu's films around the world.

Although these people did not go to the theater to support Li Mu, when the news of Li Mu's movie was another box office hit came out on the Internet, they were often very excited.

Of course, in reality, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of groups who are envious, jealous and hateful of Li Mu's achievements, and of course such people will pay special attention to the box office data of Li Mu's new movie.

Then it was in this atmosphere of almost universal attention that the box office results of "Doomsday Collapse" at home and abroad were counted day by day, and then amazed everyone!

The first is the box office in the domestic market.

After "Doomsday Collapse" won 75 million first-day box office on Friday, July 24, its box office performance on the next day did not disappoint fans across the country, because the third movie in the country with a single-day box office of more than 100 million was officially born on this day.

On Saturday, July 25, the national box office of "Doomsday Collapse" was 102.5 million! It is basically the same as the box office performance of "Hurricane Rescue 2" the next day.

On Sunday, July 26, the national box office was 91 million, far better than the box office figure of 75 million yuan on the first Sunday of "Hurricane Rescue 2".

On Monday, July 27, the national box office of "Doomsday Collapse" won another 44 million, while the box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" had fallen to 34 million in the same period, and the initial box office of "Doomsday Collapse" was comparable to "Hurricane Rescue 2", but the follow-up box office trend was much stronger than the latter.

Tuesday, July 28, 45 million.

Wednesday, July 29, 41 million.

Thursday, July 30, 39 million.

Friday, July 31, 47 million.

On Saturday, August 1, 82 million, nine days after its release, the single-day box office of "Doomsday Collapse" once again exceeded the 80 million yuan mark.

On Sunday, August 2, the movie "Doomsday Collapse" won another 65 million national box office, so far, the film has been officially released nationwide for a total of 10 days, and the national box office has accumulated 638.9 million yuan within 10 days, exceeding the 630 million yuan domestic box office of the previous "Hurricane Rescue 2".

After the release of the film entered the third week, the single-day box office decline of the film began to become obvious, but at this time, the single-day box office of the film still remained at about 15 million to 20 million yuan per day.

The box office data on Saturday and Sunday in the third week even rebounded slightly, and then quickly fell back after the weekend, and even fell to the level of several million yuan a day a few days later, and at this time, the national box office of "Doomsday Collapse" has also come to about 740 million yuan.

According to the predictions of relevant institutions, the final national box office of "Doomsday Collapse" should be between 780 million and 810 million yuan.

Undoubtedly, this again

is a national box office hit.

The box office appeal of Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Yang Ziqiong, and Li Mu, the unprecedented scale of the disaster scenes, and the timing of the release before "2012", all these factors have created the brilliant results of "Doomsday Collapse", a super special effects blockbuster with an average plot but special effects scenes that definitely exceed all the audience's psychological expectations.

In the North American film market, the box office performance of "Doomsday Collapse" is also good.

From July 24 to July 26, "Doomsday Collapse" won $63 million at the box office in North America, beating the animated film "Guinea Pig Raiders" produced by Disney and won the North American box office champion of the week.

"Guinea Pig Squad" was the runner-up with $32 million in its opening weekend.

Then came Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which was in its third week of theaters and finished third with a weekend box office of $30 million.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was followed by Sony Columbia's comedy film "The Ugly Truth", which grossed $27 million in its opening weekend.

As soon as the box office results of "Doomsday Collapse" in North America came out, many people in China breathed a sigh of relief. The film's performance is slightly better than "Hurricane Rescue 2", which was released last month, and "Hurricane Rescue 2" grossed $468.3 million worldwide!

There is hardly any doubt that "Doomsday Collapse" is clearly another blockbuster film in the global film market.

North America week 2, July 31 to August 2.

"Doomsday Collapse" topped the North American box office with an overwhelming margin of $37 million, a 41% drop from last weekend's $63 million, which is actually a fairly normal decline.

I remember that when "Hurricane Rescue 2" was released, the box office fell by as much as 51% in the second week!

Universal's "Funny People" was runner-up with a $24 million opening weekend; "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which has been in theaters for four weeks, won the third place with a box office of $18 million.

In its second week of release, Disney's animated film "Guinea Pig Squad" finished fourth with a weekend box office of $17 million, a drop of 46%!

Basically, as soon as the news of "Doomsday Collapse" winning the North American box office for a second consecutive year came out, everyone knew that the global box office of "Doomsday Collapse" would definitely be above $500 million.

Up to now, just over half of 2009 has passed, and Li Mu has released three movies.

One of them has a global box office of more than $900 million, one has a global box office of more than $400 million, and one has basically locked in more than $500 million.

In half a year, the cumulative global box office of the three films may even exceed 2 billion US dollars, not to mention that there is still a "Gravity" that Li Mu attaches the most importance to be released at the end of the year.

Domestic filmmakers have been so shocked by Li Mu's achievements this year that they are almost speechless, but domestic netizens have directly turned on the carnival mode.

It was fast forward to the weekend of the third week of Doom Collapse in North America, August 7-9, 2009.

This week, the sci-fi action blockbuster "Special Forces: Cobra Rise" produced by Paramount Company easily drove the disaster movie "Doomsday Collapse" directed by Li Mu from the North American box office champion with an absolute advantage of $57 million at the box office.

"Doomsday Collapse" came in second with $22 million.

In third place is the biographical film Julie and Juliet, released this week by Sony Columbia, which grossed $21 million in its opening weekend.

In fourth place was Disney's animated film "Guinea Pig Squad," which grossed $9.8 million this weekend.

So far, the global release of "Doomsday Collapse" has been carried out for three weeks, and its total box office in the domestic film market has accumulated to 760 million yuan, if you add the cumulative box office of 210 million US dollars in North America and 230 million US dollars in overseas markets outside North America, the global cumulative box office of "Doomsday Collapse" has reached 553 million US dollars

Yuan.

At this time, the total box office of the movie is still rising, and it seems that there is no problem in collecting another $10 million or two million before the official release.

Counting in the first half of 2009, Li Mu released a total of three movies, including "Inception" with a global box office of $956 million, "Hurricane Rescue 2" with a global box office of $468 million, and "Doomsday Collapse" has not yet been released, and the global box office has reached $553 million.

And if you add up the total global box office of these three films, then you get a figure of 19.77.

In half a year, the global box office of Li Muxin's new film has reached $1.977 billion, and it is only $23 million short of breaking the $2 billion mark, and it is obvious that it is not difficult to get another $23 million box office before the release of "Doomsday Collapse".

This is quite a sensational and quite shocking news, and all the major print media, web portals, four David TV, and even CCTV have reported on it in turn, and countless experts and scholars across the country have interpreted it from all aspects.

It was director Zhang Yimou, who had just successfully directed the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, that became a little dull in the face of Li Mu a year after the Olympics, but what Li Mu and the national audience never expected was that some netizens actually linked Li Mu with a two-person actor who suddenly became popular this year.

"No one can be more popular than Xiao Shen in 2009, unless it is Li Mu in 2009!"

The most exaggerated thing is that whether it is Li Mu's parents, Liu Yifei, or Li Mu himself, they all have to admit that there must be more people in the country who know Xiao Shen than Li Mu.

This is outrageous.

Li Mu's achievements in the film industry are exaggerated enough, and he directly won nearly $2 billion at the global box office in less than 8 months.

But you go to the whole country, especially the northern region, to inquire and see if there are more people who know Xiao Shen or more people who know him Li Mu?

There are almost no doubts about this question, and the answer must be that there are more people who know Xiao Shen.

But if the scope is expanded to the whole world, then those who know Li Mu will have an almost crushing advantage over those who know Xiao Shen.

Not to mention the fact that his total sales worldwide have officially exceeded the 100 million mark at this time, it is just in the field of films.

At this moment, although "Doomsday Collapse" has not yet been officially released, its ranking in the box office list of world film history has climbed to 45th.

At this time, it was preceded by the 1998 movie "The End of the World", followed by the 2005 movie "King Kong", followed by "Mission Impossible 2" at 47th and "The Day After Tomorrow" at 48th.

"Doomsday Collapse" is certainly not as good as the disaster-themed movie "The Day After Tomorrow" as a whole, but its box office performance does surpass the other party.

As of this time, in less than 8 months, Li Mu has five works that have directly entered the top 100 of the global box office, including three new movies released this year alone.

[When the time comes to August 2009, Li Mu's reputation as a world-class director should no longer be questioned as before! ] 】

The above is a news article published in a special column of Sina Entertainment, and the author of the news is Sina Entertainment reporter Zhong Wenkai.

And after reporter Zhong Wenkai sent out this column, he painstakingly calculated the total box office of all Li Mu's works since his debut.

"Hurricane Rescue" is $283.6 million, "Assassin" is $376 million, "Superbody" is $381 million, "Inception" is $9.56, and "Hurricane Rescue 2" is $4.68.

So far, a total of 2.464 billion US dollars, if you add the box office of director Li Mu's films mainly for the domestic film market, then his personal global total box office has reached 2.563 billion US dollars!

If you add the $550 million box office of "Doomsday Collapse", which has not yet been released at this time, then

Director Li Mu's global box office performance since his debut has reached as much as 3.113 billion US dollars!

"$3.113 billion? This number sounds quite impressive, but I don't know what kind of level this result is in the world!"

Thinking of this, Zhong Wenkai immediately started to look up keywords like "the world's highest grossing director list".

There is very little such information on the Internet in Huaxia, so Zhong Wenkai had no choice but to look up on the website in the United States and found a related report.

The director who currently ranks first in the global box office is, of course, Steven Spielberg. As of August 2009, he has directed and released a total of 24 films, grossing $3.765 billion in North America and $8.2805 billion worldwide.

That's a pretty explosive and unbeatable number.

Chris Columbus (director of Harry Potter and Home Alone series), with a total global box office of $3.625 billion.

Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump), global box office $3.608 billion.

Michael Bay (director of the Transformers series), with a total global box office of $3.459 billion.

George Lucas (director of the Star Wars prequel series), with a total global box office of $3,314.4 million.

Gorwibinski (director of the Pirates of the Caribbean series), with a total global box office of $3.219 billion.

James Cameron (director of Terminator and Titanic), with a total global box office of $3.057 billion.

Seeing this, reporter Zhong Wenkai suddenly froze, and then his gaze wandered repeatedly on the seventh name.

"James Cameron, the global box office is 3.057 billion US dollars - that is to say, director Li Mu's global box office has ranked eighth in the world and surpassed the legendary director James Cameron?"

Zhong Wenkai immediately had an urge to post another news article immediately, but just as he was about to start writing a related report, a new idea rushed into his mind.

"The eighth in the world, although it is already very strong, it is still not eye-catching!"

"In fact, if you really want to talk about the popularity of foreign directors in China, there is no doubt that Spielberg and James Cameron are definitely ranked first and second, which means that although James Cameron's global box office is only ranked seventh, the directors who rank second to sixth are definitely not as famous in China as James Cameron."

"So what's the need for the news, and the focus is on director Li Mu's global box office, which has ranked eighth in the world? So let's focus the news on director Li Mu's global box office, which has surpassed the world-class director James Cameron, okay? Absolutely!"

"By the way, in order to show my rigor, I have to make a special mark at the end that this ranking is not rigorous enough, because the box office of the other directors above is really only the global total box office of the films directed by these directors themselves, and the global box office of director Li Mu in the above statistics has already included the box office of films written by director Li Mu himself but shot by other directors."

"For example, the director of "How to Steal the Key" is director Shen Junsheng of Li Mu's company, and the director of the "Hurricane Rescue" series is Xiangjiang director Chen Musheng. Strictly speaking, these are Li Mu's works, but they are not the works of Li Mu's "director". But it doesn't matter, firstly, these movies are firmly labeled as director Li Mu in the hearts of netizens across the country, and secondly, rigor is not the focus of this news at all, right? The point of this news is one - that is, the global box office of director Li Mu is already comparable to that of director James Cameron!"

Finally, after some deliberation, the latest news of reporter Zhong Wenkai was finally released.
