"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" topped the North American box office charts in the first week of July after breaking a series of all-time records with $150 million

In the face of the might of Captain Jack Sparrow, the man Clark-Kent was in retreat, with a 60% drop, making "Return of Man" only 35 million in the account, and even the leader of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" What failed to achieve a sharp contrast is that "The Queen Wearing Prada" relied on the appeal of the three popular stars to stand firm in the pirate attack. In the third week of its release, it only fell by 20%. Grab the $29 million box office and blind everyone

As a result, the list of North American box office charts in the first week of July became, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Return of Man" and "The Queen Wears Prada" ranked the top three, "Remote for Life", "Cars" , "Crazy Father" and other works followed closely. However, in the face of the power of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", only five works broke the 10 million threshold at the box office this week, which shows the amazing appeal of Captain Jack Sparrow.

In the second week of July, it seems that in order to avoid the power of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", there are not many works released. "Good White" brought countless surprises, the three Wayans brothers brought "Little Men" again, and the two comedy films became the challenger for the release

In the absence of competition, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" walked steadily, taking 90 million US dollars at the box office with a 40% drop, easily winning the North American box office chart. Of course, with such a strong box office figure In front of the record, the record is still shattering, surpassing "Shrek 2" to become the box office champion in the second week of film history, and "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Heath" became the highest box office in film history with a record of seven days of release. quick work...

Two weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has reached 290 million, which is one step away from 300 million. "Star Wars: The Revenge of the Heath" currently maintains the fastest box office breakthrough of 300 million. Historical record: Seventeen days, now it seems that this record will definitely be broken. Even the dawn of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" hitting the $400 million box office threshold is already beckoning.

In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the two released comedies were scolded by the media, and the box office was tragic. 10,000, the two just bite each other with a gap of less than 100,000 dollars

Compared with the complete defeat of these two comedy films, the good reputation of "The Queen Wears Prada" is even more valuable. The 25% drop has allowed this women's fashion comedy to still get 20 million in the fourth week of its release. The result of 1.7 million US dollars was released in the fourth week, and it still beat the two works by a gap of 100,000 US dollars, allowing "The Queen Wearing Prada" to achieve a counterattack, rising from the third place last week to the second place. , and "Little Man" and "Cohabitation Threesome" can only be ranked third and fourth depressingly.

In fact, the most tragic thing is that Warner Bros.' "Human Returns" has a precarious reputation. Under the crushing of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", it completely lost the 50% drop in the possibility of turning over, making The $270 million film earned just $17 million in its third week of release, placing it in fifth place and being disgraced in front of "The Devil Wears Prada," which was released at the same time.

"Return of the People" currently has a total box office of 160 million, and there is a long way to go to break the threshold of 200 million. Warner Bros. took the box office curse of last year's Sony Columbia Pictures this summer, and this summer's first "Poseidon" was tragically ignored. , lost everything; now the box office is weak, and even breaking the capital has become very difficult. 2006 was a very difficult year for Warner Bros.

In this situation, Warner Bros. pinned all their hopes on "Water Monster", which will challenge the throne of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" next week. The director, who has established himself as a suspense thriller with works such as "The Sixth Sense", "Tian Zhao", "Undead", "Xiao Village" and other works, has tried hard after the previous work "Xiao Village" suffered a tragic box office failure. This time, it made a comeback with the "water demon"

In fact, Warner Bros. is very depressed watching this box office list. Evan Bell's "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "The Queen Wears Prada" occupy the first and second positions respectively, and "Human Returns" is nowhere to be found. Warner Bros. has long known about Evan Bell's ability, so it borrowed Thomas Lansing's hand and reached an agreement with Evan Bell for three works. None of the works were produced for Warner Bros. - to be precise, Evan Bell did not shoot any work at all in the past year. "Perfume" was a proposal that had been determined before the agreement. So, Warner Bros. can say

Now, Warner Bros. is more and more eager for Evan Bell to help the movie. Unlike Disney, Warner Bros. is firmly behind Evan Bell. So, presumably the record companies are inviting Evan Bell to sing. At the same time, the film company will not be able to bear the loneliness

In addition to "Water Demon", Sony Columbia Pictures worked hard to create a computer three-dimensional animation work "Monster House", 20th Century Fox led by Uma Thurman's "My Ex-Girlfriend", and twelve years ago The sequel to the critically acclaimed cult comedy "Crazy Clerk," all of which will take on "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to see who can take the throne

It's a pity that the expected "Water Monster" challenged the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" campaign and started. "Water Monster" continued Warner Bros.'s cup of summer vacation today, with a box office of only 18 million US dollars. Die first, let alone challenge Captain Jack Sparrow, even in front of the "Monster House", he has not been able to obtain any advantage

Sony Columbia Pictures, which has been repeatedly defeated in the animation market in recent years, brought in Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, the director of "Forrest Gump", to jointly create "Monster House". "This time, although "Monster House" did not achieve gratifying numbers at the box office, and only 22 million was not a good result, the good reputation of the media still made Sony Columbia Pictures overjoyed, "The New York Times" and "Entertainment Weekly", the direct media of the two Eleven Studios, not only gave full marks, but also believed that "Monster House" will become the biggest rival of "Cars" next year's Oscars

Under the impact of "Water Monster" and "Monster House", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" once again won 54 million US dollars with a 40% drop, easily winning the championship for three consecutive weeks, which is in the fierce summer vacation. It is definitely a rare box office myth on the file. At present, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has been released for three weeks and has accumulated a total of 370 million at the box office.

I have to say that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is completely unstoppable in the summer season. Even if the media has a melee, but compared to last year's phenomenal "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Heath" , but the performance is too good, which is not only reflected in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" brushing a series of records, but also in the box office drop, it can be seen that the audience's buy-in for Captain Jack Sparrow, the firmness of the box office is actually a certain To a certain extent, the reflection of the audience's word of mouth

After "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Monster House", and "Water Monster" were separated into the top three in the North American box office chart, "The Queen Wears Prada" once again won the box office of 14 million US dollars with a jaw-dropping firmness. With a drop of just 35 percent, it was in fourth place, followed by "Threesomes", "Little Guys", "Crazy Clerk 2", "My Ex-Girlfriend", "The Return of the Man" and "Return of the People". "Cars" and other works

In the third week of July, the summer season is about to enter its final stage. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" accumulated 370 million at the box office and "The Devil Wears Prada" accumulated 180 million at the box office. These two figures are really glittering. , people can't take their eyes off, especially knowing that "The Queen Wears Prada" only invested 35 million in the case makes the film company more envious

However, after easily winning the championship for three consecutive weeks, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is about to usher in strong competitors, which is also the law of the summer season

Julia Roberts' comeback performance "Don't mess with the ants" is also highly anticipated. This computer 3D animation is also highly anticipated. However, Warner Bros. is really unlucky this summer, and people can't help but worry about whether Murphy's Law will work again; Michael Mann, the great director of classic works such as "Public Enemy", "Stealing Fire", "Murder with a Knife" and "King Ali", this time together with Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Gong Li, etc. A number of stars, with "Miami Vice" also made a strong landing; the youth campus comedy "Love Assassin", starring Jesse Metcalfe, who played a **** gardener in the first season of "Desperate Housewives" The famous and handsome model finally got the chance to star in the movie. In addition, a group of young and beautiful girls will also appear in the movie, which can be said to have attracted a lot of attention.

Amid the challenges, when did "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" break through 400 million at the box office? In what position will such a record be created? Who will be the North American box office leader next week? All this has become the hottest topic of discussion in the film market in the fourth week of July
