Chapter 458: Firmly in the second place at the annual box office!

β€œCrazy!”

"It's crazy!"

John danced and cheered in a strange accent with a midrange accent, "Daniel, you've done another miracle, again!" ”

"Although I have already guessed this result, it still feels like a dream to really see the box office explosion of "Interstellar"!"

"$58.26 million in the first weekend and $120 million in the second week, that's crazy!"

"Among them, the IMAX 3D theater contributed 35% of the box office, which is higher than the 20% of "Avatar"!"

Wu Yuan amusedly stretched out his hand to stop John's hand dancing, shook his head and smiled: "John, calm down, that's because the IMAX 3D theater is now half as fast as when "Avatar" was released!" ”

Although less than half a year has passed, the past half year has been the fastest half year for the construction of IMAX 3D theaters in North America, and the number of IMAX 3D theaters in North America has doubled in half a year!

Most of the box office growth of "Interstellar" is dependent on these newly built IMAX 3D theaters.

After all, an IMAX 3D movie ticket is worth three ordinary tickets.

In the case that the viewing base has not expanded, "Interstellar" can create such a brilliant box office result, of course, thanks to the high ticket prices of IMAX 3D.

However, "Interstellar" is indeed a hit, and it has become popular in North America.

Now anyone who meets and chats has to talk about the movie "Interstellar".

If you haven't seen the movie?

I'm sorry, you can't fit into everyone's chat conversation, you're going to be isolated.

From the black hole model in the movie, to the fatherly love of the male protagonist, the beautiful Liu Yifei and Anne Hathaway, and the mysterious and deep universe, they are all hot topics for everyone.

The men chatted about the unpredictable physical formulas, science fiction conjectures, and wormhole jumping techniques in the movie......

The girls are moved by the fatherly love revealed in the movie, and resonate with the emotions that transcend time and space.

Although it is not enough to attract audiences of all ages, and the fan base is not as large as "Avatar", "Interstellar" still conquers the entire North American film market.

"Daniel, now all major prediction media are predicting that the North American box office of "Interstellar" may break 500 million US dollars, and the global box office may exceed 1.3 billion US dollars, breaking your own box office record!"

"Although there is no way to reproduce the miracle of "Avatar", it should not be a problem to become the second grossing movie in Hollywood this year."

"Even "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", which will be released in November, should not be able to surpass "Interstellar"."

"As for Nolan's Inception, haha, obviously your first round will end in your victory!"

John, that's called an excitement.

"Inception" is still being screened in other parts of the world, and even in some regions (yes, it is Huaxia), but the market for this film is basically out, and the global box office potential is around eight or nine billion US dollars.

And in the second half of this year, the only one that can pose a threat to "Interstellar" is Harry Potter's final "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

But judging from the results of the previous work of "Harry Potter", the basic plate of this movie is within $1 billion, and it is difficult to break one billion.

After all, this is not the real ending, and there is a continuous filming (next) to be released in the summer next year, which is the real finale.

In this way, "Interstellar" will become the second highest-grossing film in the world this year, and it will become a box office masterpiece of the Light Age.

This movie is produced by the hanging Light Age, and it is jointly produced by Universal and Paramount, and it is considered a Light Age movie if rounded.

2nd in the world!

"It's a pity that there is an even more terrifying "Avatar" this year." John sighed suddenly and regretfully.

The box office results of "Interstellar" have properly topped the global box office in previous years!

Who knew that this year, there was a "Avatar" that was the No. 1 box office in film history, overlooking all the movies of the same period.

In the past 20 years, there has been no movie as good as "Avatar"!

"There's no shame in losing to Avatar." Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "If there was no "Avatar", and there would not be so many IMAX 3D theaters now, there would not be such a good box office. ”

Compared with the $700 million box office of "Interstellar" in the original time and space, the $1.3 billion given by the media now has doubled.

To be honest, Wu Yuan didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't think he could do it in his heart, and the media was still a little too optimistic.

Now the box office trend of "Interstellar" in North America is strong, still thanks to the high ticket price contribution of IMAX 3D halls, and there will be no IMAX 3D halls when it is released worldwide next.

There are less than half of the IMAX 3D theaters in Europe and less than a third in Asia.

With the same ticket prices and only ordinary halls, not even ordinary 3D theaters, it is impossible for the global box office to perform so well.

Wu Yuan's optimistic view is that he just thinks that "Interstellar" can have a billion dollars in the world, and it can't be better than "Pirates of the Caribbean".

After all, the threshold for viewing "Interstellar" is still higher, and the various hard science fiction knowledge of Xuan Ao does not attract fans very much.

Movies, in the final analysis, the simpler and more straightforward, the larger the movie-watching group.

"John, don't be so optimistic." Wu Yuan shook his head: "There is indeed hope for the second place in the global box office this year, but $1.3 billion is unlikely." ”

"The cost of $200 million, and being able to have a box office of $1 billion, is enough to steal fun."

"Maybe we should think about something realistic, such as what movie the company should make next after the company has this money."

After beckoning and motioning for John to sit down, Wu Yuan crossed Erlang's legs and began to say in a clear manner: "Needless to say, the filming of the "Twilight" series is an established thing. ”

"World War Z is already half in preparation, and it will start shooting soon."

"But the company's plan for next year has not yet been determined."

"I had some hesitations before, but now that "Interstellar" is a box office hit, then we can also consider starting a big production."

"Did you win the rights to the film adaptation of The Hunger Games?"

"Now it's time to make this series."

"Let Jennifer Lawrence play, Hollywood is now more and more lacking in movies with such big heroines, and I believe the market will give a good response."

"In addition, we should also make another mid-cost series with a big male lead."

"I left in the company's archives, there is a movie called "Fast Pursuit", which can also be approved, the actor can be played by Mads Mikkelsen, he is suitable for this role, if he is not scheduled, find Keanu Reeves!" (End of chapter)
