Chapter 1656： A match made in heaven

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

"Ratatouille" was released for four weeks. It has resisted four waves of torrents successively, and stubbornly survived the fierce competition in the summer season. It has accumulated a box office of 260 million US dollars in four weeks, and the North American box office of 300 million US dollars is already in sight. !

Such a situation is really unexpected. Before the release of "Ratatouille", people made various speculations about the film, and people were very curious about what the combination of Pixar and Eleven Studios would produce. a result. Now, the verdict: a match made in heaven! Pixar and Eleven Studios seem to be born together. A "Ratatouille" has transformed into a new king in the summer movie market where the sequel was king in 2007!

Prior to this, among the seven films of Pixar and Disney, "Finding Nemo," the top-grossing film in North America, was $339 million; the top-grossing film in the world was "Finding Nemo," $860 million. Seven million.

These two numbers are actually quite good, but they are definitely not top tier. The king of computer 3D animation is "Shrek 2" from DreamWorks. This cartoon has a North American box office record of 440 million US dollars and a global box office record of 920 million US dollars. From this figure, it can be seen that, first of all, "Shrek 2" and "Finding Nemo" have a box office of 400 million and 300 million in North America, which is a gap; secondly, the gap in the global box office is not so obvious. , 900 million and 800 million cannot be said to be two levels, but there is still a considerable distance.

What Pixar really praises is its box office and word of mouth, including the technology is also amazing, in addition, the average quality of Pixar's works is better than that of DreamWorks. "Cars" also has "good" scores, and the box office is even more successful. Except for the first two "Toy Story" and "Insects Dangerous," the North American box office all topped 200 million; the global box office was 356,000. The $10,000 is Pixar's current worst score, and it was also maintained by the "bugs in danger" in the early years. It can be seen that Pixar has always been the dynamic company with the best average output value.

What a pity, it is estimated that Pixar has never come up with a work like "Shrek 2. Such a domineering work can achieve top results at the box office or word of mouth."

And now, after Pixar transferred to Studio Eleven, the first work "Ratatouille" has performed so well. This is really encouraging news. People have reason to believe that under the environment of Studio Eleven, Pixar will be even better than the previous period of cooperation with Disney, showing the domineering power of the king and completing the **** of the animation market.

This kind of idea is definitely not groundless. The good reputation of "Ratatouille" need not be repeated, and its performance at the box office is also very good. When the cumulative box office in the four weeks reached 260 million US dollars, this achievement has far exceeded the "Under the Sea". It is not a problem for the performance of "General Mobilization" to exceed 300 million in the same period, and it is not a problem to exceed the box office record of "Finding Nemo". Everyone is wondering whether "Ratatouille" has any hope of hitting the threshold of 400 million. Although it is difficult, it is not completely hopeless.

The dawn of "Ratatouille" hitting 400 million hits smoothly in the following week. "My grand **** wedding..." Led by comedy star Adam Sandler, apparently chasing after two years because of "Brokeback Mountain" And the wave of **** themes set off, the film's performance at the box office made everyone stunned, and together with the musical comedy "Hairspray" released at the same time, it launched a fierce attack on "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

"Hairspray" is adapted from the famous Broadway show, which gathers stars such as Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, etc. Zac Efron is the successor After last year's "High School Musical", he appeared in a song and dance movie again, and once again served as the male lead. He can be said to be the best dumpling among the new generation of idol stars.

In the end, Universal Pictures swept away the bad luck in "Fake Gods 2," and relied on "My grand **** wedding..." to squeeze "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix..." out of the altar and successfully won the seventh place. The North American weekend box office champion in the fourth week of January. And "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix..." also became the second time the series failed to top the chart after "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets..." Publisher Warner Bros. was immediately depressed.

"My Big Gay Wedding..." was 34 million at the weekend box office, and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix..." was released at the weekend box office of 32 million in its second week, a mere two million difference, making Hogg Woz's little wizards drink hatred. And in third place was the newly released "Hairspray," and "Ratatouille" overtook "Transformers," with a 30 percent drop in the $21 million weekend box office, less than a five-point lead. The advantage of 100,000 US dollars occupies the fourth place, and "Transformers" can only fall to the fifth place.

In addition to "My Big Gay Wedding... Overturning "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the third week of "Transformers" released, the cumulative box office reached 260 million US dollars, this box office figure It is really eye-catching. The box office decline for two consecutive weeks has been controlled within 50%, and its lasting ability at the box office is really impressive.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix..." is "Ratatouille", because the two most powerful competitors have not been able to further show their power and continue to dominate the entire movie The market, then this is an excellent time to seize the box office for the well-known "Ratatouille". It is no wonder that professionals who predict the North American box office say that the 400 million threshold is a bit far away for "Ratatouille", but it is not impossible. of.

Subsequently, the performance of "Ratatouille" in the box office rankings did not disappoint, with an average weekly drop of 40%. In the last week of August, the box office even counterattacked, and the number of screening venues increased that week. There were 100 rooms, reaching the number of 1,000, and then the weekend box office of "Ratatouille" increased by 43%, and it won the box office of nearly 3 million US dollars. The results are really impressive.

The release of "Ratatouille" in North America has been extended until Christmas. It has been shown for more than six months before and after. Such a long showing period shows the long line and endurance of 3D computer animation. In the end, "Ratatouille" settled at US$380 million at the North American box office, which is still a long way from the threshold of 400 million.

The threshold of 400 million is indeed not so easy to break through. "Ratatouille" can fight a **** path when there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, especially the "Transformers" and "Harry Potter and the The two-week performance of "Order of the Phoenix" can be regarded as the most amazing performance this summer, and finally won the box office of 380 million US dollars!

This box office figure made "Xingli Rat King" replace "Finding Nemo" and became the highest-grossing work in North America in Pixar's history. Although it still hasn't crossed the 400 million threshold, this is only the first work of Pixar and Eleven Studios. It's just a collaboration, and Pixar's works in the future deserve more expectations.

At the same time, a family-friendly work such as "Ratatouille" has naturally performed very well in the global box office market. With the foreshadowing of the previous works, it is no ambiguity that the eleventh issue will start a global distribution now. Although the eleventh issue is currently in the form of signing cooperation agreements with publishers in various countries and regions to promote global distribution, the overall distribution capability cannot be underestimated.

"Ratatouille" has been released in more than 80 countries and regions around the world. This is also the largest release since the establishment of the eleventh issue. "Ratatouille" has been realized in more than 50 countries and regions. Among them, 28 countries and regions have completed the reelection. However, as the weekend box-office champion worldwide, "Ratatouille" is not as competitive as "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" because it is not released at the same time. The box-office power gathered together in this way is strong, and finally only got a one-week global box-office weekend. champion.

Despite this, "Ratatouille" still earned $560 million at the box office outside of North America, which also surpassed the record of "Finding Nemo" and created the most for Pixar.

In the end, "Ratatouille" won the box office of 940 million US dollars worldwide, although it failed to cross the threshold of one billion ~ www.novelhall.com~ became the first computer 3D computer in history to exceed one billion at the box office Animation, but it still surpassed "Shrek 2" to become the highest-grossing computer 3D animation worldwide.

Judging from such a result, in the history of the North American box office market, "Ratatouille" is second only to "Shrek 2" in the runner-up position of the computer 3D animation in the film history; and in the history of the global box office market, "Ratouuu" Thanks to the excellent performance in overseas markets, Wang" replaced "Shrek 2" as the box office champion of Shinco's global computer 3D animation.

As far as the summer vacation of 2007 is concerned, the head-to-head confrontation between "Ratatouille" and "Monster Jacket Lake 3" ended in the final victory of Phoenix Nirvana's Pixar!

Well, here is a positive message, the spark of cooperation between Pixar and Eleven Studio is indeed more than Disney. Before that, people were worried that Eleven Studio was just a small workshop, and the cooperation with Pixar could not exert the power of computer 3D animation, but now it seems that the worry is superfluous. Pixar and Eleven Studios are an absolute match made in heaven.

Of course, after Eleven Studio got the help of Pixar, its competitiveness also skyrocketed. There were live-action movies like "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" before, and animation movies like "Ratatouille" later, plus magic power. With the success of Red Band in June, Eleven Studios is indeed making great strides along the road of DreamWorks!
