Chapter 156

"Titanic" box office in North America more than 100 million U.S. dollars, even if it was very unpopular with the media and theaters before, it is now attracting everyone's attention.

After its box office performance of 28 million US dollars on the first day, it only received more than 10 million US dollars in the next two days. Compared with its high production cost and publicity cost, it can be said that it is a miserable loss.

However, in the second week, he made more than 35 million US dollars at the box office, winning the box office champion of North America week!

But.

It did not attract the attention of the audience and the film company. On the contrary, it was sarcastic, calling for another high-cost film that lost old blood.

In the second week of the release of Titanic, whether it's Disney's "beautiful teacher", Sony Columbia's "three children's action", or Touchstone Pictures, Timon pictures and Lion Gate pictures, all of them are big bad movies.

Choose the taller of the dwarfs, and Titanic will not be a hot topic. The media and newspapers are scrambling to report these rotten films. After all, they have to do business after they have collected money!

Titanic has been forgotten!

The most terrible thing in the world is to be forgotten, and Cameron himself is crying in the toilet.

In the third week, "Titanic" took another $33.31 million at the box office, a drop of only 6.0%;

Since its release, the film has been cynical in the media and forgotten by everyone. The time span is three weeks, but its box office has quietly exceeded 100 million US dollars!

"Why?"

"How come it's over a hundred million dollars at the box office?"

"Did paramount and 20th Century Fox buy the box office?"

"But it's not right. Now they're losing money. Where else can they put money into Titanic?"

Theaters first noticed the unusual, because they are the first level of box office production, and they are naturally very clear about the specific box office amount.

Some media and film critics have also noticed the strangeness of the ship.

As the saying goes, "the person who knows you best and pays attention to you most is always your opponent". This is very suitable for Cameron's old enemy, old opponent and famous film critic ASIM Albert.

"God

ASIM frowned and said, "how can it quietly exceed $100 million at the box office? Can it turn over at this stage? "

As Cameron's old rival, his ASIM naturally does not want "Titanic" to succeed.

.......

It has to be said that ASIM's worry became a reality in the fourth week!

In the fourth week, Dashun again reported $28.71 million at the box office, which was also the North American box office champion this week, with a decrease of only 13.8%.

The small drop is far lower than those high cost blockbusters in the past.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" A group of media reporters yelled.

"Ha ha ha, we've lost sight. Before we judged that Titanic would lose a lot at the box office, but we didn't expect that it had won the North American box office champion for four consecutive weeks, with a total box office of more than 135 million dollars. " The representative of the cinema side praised.

"Who said that our films would lose money? It's up!" In the 20th century, Fox and paramount were surprised.

Compared with the media, theaters and production companies, the audience's response is more direct. They love the movie "big boat". It's no exaggeration to use "call friends". Many people even start the mode of second brush and third brush.

so

In the fifth week of its release, the box office of "Titanic" showed a reverse growth pattern, rising 25.4% to close at more than $36 million.

It's the highest box office week since its release.

.......

Wald pictures.

Kevin Fitch looked at Zucker and exclaimed, "boss, it's incredible. It's been a month since the big ship's release, but it still has the highest box office in a single week. It's so rare. It's a miracle

"It's a miracle!" Zhu Ke agrees.

One month after the movie was released, the highest box office in a single week appeared, which is not unprecedented in Hollywood's 100 year history. However, it basically took place in the 1920s-60s of the 20th century. After entering the 1980s, none of the films showed such a box office curve as Titanic.

The small decline is also rare in the world!

"Boss, the box office of big ship may be more than 300 million dollars in North America."

CEO Victor also said: "of course, if overseas audiences also agree, it is estimated that the global box office will not be less than 800 million!"

800 million dollars?

Nonsense!

"You're not kidding, Mr. Jones. With a global box office of US $800 million, there are few in the world. Is it Jurassic Park

Although Kevin Fitch marvels that the big ship is a miracle, he doesn't believe that it's worth more than 800 million dollars at the box office.

"Er..."

Victor is dumb.

But Zhuke burst out laughing.

"Victor, trust your own judgment!"

"Kevin, I agree with you that Titanic will not be the next Jurassic Park, because I firmly believe that it will surpass Jurassic Park!"

"You heard me right!"

"It will surpass Spielberg's highest box office ever of $1.02 billion!"

When Zhuke finished his judgment, he looked at them happily.

Victor: --

Kevin fitch

In fact, it's not only Kevin Fitch who doesn't believe it, but also paramount and fox, the film's production companies, who don't believe it will be the next Jurassic Park. Well, even the director, Cameron, can't believe it's going to make more than $1.8 billion at the global box office.

.......

With the box office rising step by step, "Titanic" word of mouth also gradually spread.

The love story between Jack and Ruth, the performance of the people when the ship sank, the song "my heart will last forever", the special effects are amazing, and the words like restoring the ship a hundred years ago have become the topic of truth discussion for American movie audiences.

In the sixth week, the film reported another $25.23 million at the box office.

In the seventh week, it went against the trend of growth by 2.6% and again won the box office of $25.9 million.

The film was released for seven weeks and won the box office champion for seven consecutive weeks, with a total of $224 million in North American box office. Moreover, it is only 20 million US dollars away from the North American box office of man in black, the highest box office in 1997.

There is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before "Titanic" kicked "man in black" and won the highest box office title in North America in 1997.

"What is that?"

Zucker looked at the newspaper and said, "what's the $250 million North American box office of man in black? The big ship will blow down $600 million in North America in the future!"

In addition to two big IP movies like "Fu Lian 4" and "Star Wars 9", another movie directed by Cameron called "Avatar", none of them will have a North American box office of more than $600 million by 2020!

"Harry Potter" series, only North American box office, not enough to see?

Pirates of the Caribbean series, speed and passion series, Twilight series, hunger game series, only a single box office in North America, nor any one in North America box office more than 600 million dollars.

Just when the whole United States is shouting "big ship" is powerful, the film is also shown in Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Asia and other countries.

Faced with the release of Titanic, local film companies in these regions and countries didn't care at the beginning.

However!

When the film broke the highest daily box office record in the region and the country in just one day, and it was far higher than these figures, these local film makers and filmmakers were completely shocked!

"Can a movie be made like this?"

It has to be said that many filmmakers have been shocked.

Apart from other things, in Xiangjiang, many film company owners and stars are shocked by the big scenes of the film after watching Titanic.

The film industry of local "handicraft workshop" type;

"Heavy industry" movies with big investment from Hollywood;

The difference between the two is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Some filmmakers with a pessimistic attitude even call out: "our films are finished, and our film market will be dominated by Hollywood films in the future."

The second watch is on.

Because of work problems, the minister has adjusted the daytime update to the evening update several times, but the minister has not broken his promise. Is that right? Is it OK for the minister to ask for a wave of support here. ha-ha!
