Chapter 259： reverse champion

In the end, "Ice Age" actually grabbed a box office of 43 million US dollars in the second week. The cumulative box office in two weeks easily exceeded 100 million, and won an amazing result of 110 million.

Under this pressure, "Blade 2" broke out strongly over the weekend, sweeping the box office of 47 million US dollars, defeating "Ice Age" by 4 million US dollars and winning this week's North American box office chart. Championship.

However, under the astonishing trend of "Blade Warrior 2", "Ice Age"'s box office drop rate was unbelievably low, and it only lost the second week championship with a disadvantage of less than 4 million, which also made all the media applaud It has given the highest praise to "Ice Age", not to mention that this film has exceeded 100 million at the box office in two weeks, which is even more worthy of praise and praise.

But all the media seem to have forgotten that this is only an estimated value. Since the gap is very small, after the official box office data comes out on Monday, the possibility of the champion changing position is very large.

In fact, due to the consideration of timeliness, the North American box office roundup is generally based on the "estimated numerical version" released by the US box office statistics agency on Sunday, and strives to provide readers with a quick movie report at the first time. The calculation of this estimated numerical version is still relatively precise, combining the number of theaters, the box office performance of a single venue, and the trend of box office decline, and finally announced.

But even the most precise, estimates are estimates, and when the actual data came out on Monday, changes in rankings abounded.

However, it has always been rare for champions to be translocated due to correction of data.

And this time, it happened!

The box-office power of "Ice Age" was still underestimated after Monday's actual numbers were counted. In general, a million-dollar deviation from estimates is normal. But the appeal of "Ice Age" this time is really amazing. That squirrel tirelessly chasing acorns caught all the professional estimation staff by surprise. Unbelievably, they kept a conservative one, and they underestimated 300. $300,000 is amazing! "Ice Age" should have grossed $46.3 million at the box office.

Relatively speaking, the box office of "Blade Runner 2" is actually overrated, actually! This gap is worth a full 900,000 US dollars. Although it is still within the deviation of 1 million, the staff did not expect that the box office of "Blade Runner 2" actually had an error, and it was still 900,000. So "Blade Runner 2" should have grossed $46.1 million at the box office.

Such a comparison, the champion came out. "Ice Age" actually beat the mighty "Blade 2" by a narrow margin of $200,000 to top the North American box-office chart again. This is also the case of the long-lost "correction of data leads to the translocation of champions" in the past ten years!

No matter how "Ice Age" actually won the championship, it fell below the glasses of countless experts.

It's not that the box office performance of "Blade Warrior 2" is not good. With a score of 46.1 million US dollars, in the first two months, it is definitely possible to make a **** and easily win the championship. But the problem is that the box office performance of "Ice Age" is too good, too outrageous, especially in the second week of its release, such a huge ability has burst out, and "Blade Runner 2" has been forcibly released. The champion of the mouth pulled out his teeth and took it into his arms!

The strong vitality of "Ice Age" made everyone realize that "Blue Sky Studio's strong rise" mentioned by William Wood in "Entertainment Weekly" is not nonsense. The fact is that Pixar and DreamWorks are divided into two parts of the animation market. In the case of Disney's slight decline, Blue Sky Studio attracted the attention of countless people by relying on the emergence of a squirrel.

Under this circumstance, the North American box office championship competition in the third week has become more and more exciting. Except for the "Ice Age" and "Blade Warrior 2", which are fighting with each other, a few giants have been added this week, which almost makes people think that this is the summer vacation. file, rather than the always cold March.

The director David Finch, who has previously filmed classic films such as "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Alien 3", "Fight Club", is starred by the old drama bone Judy Foster, with the thriller movie "Thriller Space". .

In addition, the sports movie "Novice" teenage sci-fi comedy "Time Hacker" was released this week, which had a strong impact on the box office.

Facing the siege and suppression of the heroes, "Ice Age" made another great achievement. It won the box office of 33 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, and the cumulative box office of 150 million US dollars in three weeks!

However, this week's box office champion was won by "Po Li Space" for 40 million US dollars and "Ice Age" firmly held the runner-up position. The new film "Novice" ranked third with 23 million: while the box office of "Blade Warrior 2" dropped sharply, it only took 18 million at the box office in three days over the weekend, barely defeating "Time Horror". Guest" reached fourth on the North American box office charts. At this time, the cumulative box office of "Blade Warrior 2" was only 60 million US dollars, which made the media who had been optimistic about the vampire warrior's success in advance, collectively lost their voices.

This week, although "Ice Age" did not continue to win the championship again, but in the third week of its release, under the circumstance of strong enemies, it still defeated many opponents and won the runner-up throne. The results are greedy. more importantly. "Ice Age" showed its staying power at the box office, and it still received 30 million in the third week, which is really amazing.

Next, the school comedy "The King of Retention" starring Morgan Freeman, the leader of black actors, was released one after another.

"Thriller Space" topped the box office with 22 million, while "Ice Age" was the runner-up with 18 million and "First Degree Felony" was only half a million behind. Things seemed to be getting worse for "Blade Runner 2", which dropped again at the box office, taking only the sixth spot.

"Ice Age" continued to have astonishing box office staying power after that, staying in third place for another week before spending five weeks in the top ten. The final box office performance actually broke through the threshold of 200 million, creating a good result of 228 million US dollars.

It is worth mentioning that Ryan Gosling starred in "Murder by Numbers" in "Ice Age"

It was also officially released in the sixth week of its release, but unfortunately the box office was not strong enough and only ranked third. And "Blade Runner 2" is even more bleak when "Ice Age" was still in the top five, it has fallen out of the top ten list.

While Blue Sky Studio was celebrating, Evan Bell's second film also achieved limitless good results in the commercial field. Of course, the excellent box office performance has nothing to do with Evan Bell, but the good reputation of the movie has something to do with Evan Bell.

Although there are many topics of "Ice Age", the hottest one is the little boy chasing the acorn

The squirrel, and the voice of the giant claw sloth Sid is the most praised character of all the voice-overs. Evan Bell created a giant claw sloth with slurred speech, jumping speech, kind-hearted, but timid to death. It can be said that more than half of the laughs in the whole movie were brought by Sid, while Evan Bell created a giant claw sloth who was slurred, jumped in speech, kind-hearted, but timid. Wen Yibel's dubbing is definitely a great contribution.

The praise of "Death Illusion" as a rookie actor makes people see the potential of Evan-Bell's acting skills, and the outstanding performance of the dubbing in "Ice Age" is another example of Evan-Bell's versatility as an actor. reflect. In normal times, this talent would only attract a little attention from the media, not even the liveliness, but now, after the Grammys just ended, the media is more than lively, and it can be said that it is boiling.

In August last year, "Death Illusion" and "One" came out successively, which made the media marvel that Evan Bell is a rare and wonderful work among the newcomers of nose shadow and music. This year, the success of the Grammys and "Ice Age" has made people realize that this talented young man is indeed appearing in the American entertainment circle in an amazing situation.

In fact, the box office dividend has nothing to do with Evan Bell, but the excellent box office performance is still related. First of all, as a member of the film production team, the success of the film must have a share of Evan Bell. In addition, the media generally believe that Evan-Bell's high attention on the Grammys has had an immeasurable effect among teenagers. "Ice Age" was released shortly after, and teenagers happened to be this animation. The film's main audience, so the amazing box office must have a big credit for Evan Bell.

However, how to explore the relationship between these effects is an esoteric question. But no matter what, 20th Century Fox seems to agree with the media's statement. In addition to holding two celebration banquets, they also gave Evan Bell a red envelope. Teddy Bell opened it after he went back. A check for half a million dollars.

The amount of the check is not important The important thing is that 20th Century Fox recognized the role of Evan Bell, which is the meaning behind this check. Of course, this is definitely the best reward for Eleven Studios, who have to spend every penny carefully.

In the case of Evan Bell, who was finally busy in Los Angeles, and the new semester of Harvard University had already started, he postponed his return time again and rushed back to New York first. The cover shoot of "Gentleman" magazine is related to Catherine Bell's real designer debut, and the brothers Evan Bell and Teddy Bell are very concerned about it.

However, Evan Bell, who was so busy, obviously forgot one important thing, that is, the first draft champion in the first year of the draft has been hotly released. It is exactly the same as the historical trajectory. Will Young won the first nose "pop idol" "Champion! Immediately afterwards, 19 Entertainment announced that they had signed contracts with the top ten players. Next, Will Yiyang's first single after winning the championship will be launched smoothly.

The end of the first season of "Pop Idol" doesn't mean things are over. In fact, this is just the beginning of the draft sweeping the world.

First update today, thanks for the reward! Thanks for the monthly pass! Therefore, today I specifically broke out to express my gratitude, huh, I really appreciate it! ! .
