Chapter 1876： outburst

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

Before the release of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", professional film critics used "Spider-Man 3 and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" as a reference when estimating the box office of the movie, which are currently recorded in the detailed box office lists. Among them, "Spider-Man 3 and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3 are both record holders, and with the blessing of Christopher Nolan, plus the joint efforts of Christian Bale and Evan Bale, the impact record is still very promising.

However, due to Christopher Nolan's consistent dark style, which is a major lethality to the box office, professionals generally predict that the box office of the movie's opening weekend should hover between 130 million and 140 million. Breaking the current record of 155 million opening weekend box office held by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". But even so, the opening box office of 130 million to 140 million is only behind in film history. In "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "Spider-Man 3", the third place is held high. It can be seen that professionals are still very optimistic about the box office of the movie.

After the film was released, the reputation of professional film critics and audiences showed a hot lottery situation, which was even more exaggerated than the expected praise. You must know that the comprehensive media score of 93 points and the eMDB score of 9.5 points Evaluation, this is unprecedented, and it is a height that is difficult for any commercial blockbuster to reach; and then, the movie box office presents a magnificent scene of volcanic eruption, and the entire North American movie market is like a long-silent volcano, accumulating The power of a long time has fully erupted this weekend, and finally managed to stun everyone!

$176 million! Here's how 'Batman: The Dark Knight' opened its opening weekend at the box office! The gorgeous average of more than 40,000 US dollars in a single hall broke the record created by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3 last year" with the ultimate shocking strength, becoming the new premiere box office champion in film history!

Compared with the estimated score of 130 million to 140 million by professionals, "Batman: The Dark Knight" has brewed an unprecedented dollar storm with tepid footsteps, making all professionals While dumbfounded, they all high-five and celebrate. In a series of box office records, "The Dark Knight" once again will be the first in the history of the box office in a large-scale screening, the first in the current year in 2 years, the first in the history of July's premiere, and the first in the history of the premiere in the summer. , the first in the history of superhero movies, and the first in the history of comics adaptations.

Although the cost of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is as high as 185 million US dollars - Evan Bell's salary alone reached 30 million US dollars, which is equal to the previous Evan Bell starred in "Caribbean". The remuneration record for the "Pirates" sequel is definitely the number one in Hollywood today, but with a lavish $176 million at the box office at the premiere, Warner Bros. obviously couldn't be more cost-effective for this business.

The box office revenue of "The Dark Knight" on Friday and one day is equivalent to the box office revenue of "The Mystery of the Shadow" in the first three days of the first weekend. It is self-evident. However, last year, "Spider-Man 3 dropped by more than 60% in the second week. Although Christopher Nolan's reboot of the Batman series has a good reputation, it is not comparable to Spider-Man, who is known for being grassroots and close to the people. I am afraid that the combination of Batman and The Joker will also be difficult to prevent the box office decline in the next week; coupled with the amazing box office figures in the first week, professionals generally believe that the second week box office decline of "The Dark Knight" will be controlled at 60%. Less than five is a huge victory!

The North American box office in the third week of July was a wail amid the sweeping performance of "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Hancock for All," "Hellboy 2" and "Wanted" Also adapted from comics, the first two also have heroic attributes, and the injuries are the most serious. The box office drops of the three are 56%, 70%, and 57% respectively. "Hellboy 2 is only in its second week of release, and the box-office drop is overwhelming.

The new and old box office calls for the confrontation between the superstars Will Smith and Evan Bell—although it is not a head-on confrontation, but Evan Bell easily grabbed the highest point with the clown’s reputation and box office record. .

This week, "Robot Wall-E" from Eleven Studio entered its fourth week of release. The first three weeks of "Robot Wall-E" performed exceptionally well, accumulating US$250 million as the champion, runner-up, and champion respectively. Pushing the threshold of 300 million, and affected by the joint influence of The Joker and Batman, the 40% drop in "Robot Wall-E" is not serious, and it is also the work with the smallest box office drop among the works released on a large scale this week. In the end, "Robot Wall-E" won the weekend box office of 24 million US dollars, closely following the "Dark Knight", ranking the runner-up in this week's North American box office rankings!

I have to say that Eleven Studios has really made a lot of limelight this summer. Even with "Iron Man" and "Indiana Jones 4", "Robot Wall-E" and "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" are still easy to do. Catching everyone's attention, in the third week of July, the two ranked first and second in the North American box office rankings, which can be regarded as a highlight of the 2008 summer season. At present, "Robot Wall-E" has a cumulative box office of 290 million US dollars in four weeks, and is only one step away from entering the 300 million club. What about 400 million? Is there still hope?

Behind "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" and "Robot Wall-E", the "Superman Hancock" who lost a lot ", "Confused Detective" and "Kung Fu Panda" filled the remaining vacancies in the top ten in turn.

Among them, "Space Chimpanzee" held its premiere in 2,500 theaters. The result of a head-on collision with "The Dark Knight" was that it only earned $7 million. Although the cost was only $37 million, it was absolutely possible. It is said to be the most misguided decision of 20th Century Fox this summer.

In the fourth week of July, facing the challenges of the newly released works "Not Brothers" and "The X-Files: I Want to Believe", under the circumstance that professionals believe that the next week's box office decline is controlled by 65%, "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" is completely a record-breaking situation, writing new records in film history in batches along the way. The "Dark Knight", which has always been far ahead of the premiere records in film history, continues to rewrite the first three days, the first four days, the first five days... and even the first four days' single-day box office and cumulative box office records - in other words, Since its release, "The Dark Knight" has not slowed down. Every day is the birth of a miracle. If this is not a volcanic eruption, I don't know what is.

The second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Spider-Man 2," "Star Wars Episode 3" broke the record of 200 million in eight days, and was refreshed to four days by "The Dark Knight"; "Pirates of the Caribbean" Part II And the third film crossed the record of 250 million in ten days, which was refreshed by "The Dark Knight" to seven days; while the second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean" crossed the 300 million mark in 16 days. The result was shortened to nine days by the "Dark Knight" in one fell swoop!

In the second week after its release, "The Dark Knight" dropped by 48%, with a new record of 21,000 US dollars for a single venue, and grabbed a weekend box office of 92 million over three days. The record of the highest second weekend box office revenue in film history of 72 million set before "Shrek 2" was far behind, and this record was strongly improved by a lot. And the 48% box office drop was even more Far less than "Spider-Man 3", making all the pros' predictions fall short again.

"Iron Man", which was unveiled this summer, received rave reviews. "Indiana Jones 4" is also not old. These two works took more than 80 days to cross the 300 million threshold at the box office, and "The Dark Knight" reached this. It only took nine days for a result. This kind of contrast is really too amazing, and even people can't feel the emotion of resistance.

Two weeks into its release, "Batman: The Dark Knight" has grossed $350 million at the box office! Exceeding the threshold of 400 million is no longer a proposition, and even becoming the second film in North American film history with a box office of over 500 million is not so far away - there is only one work that has passed the threshold of 500 million at the North American box office at present: "Titanic No".

There is no doubt that the weekend box office of 92 million is the champion level in any week. "The Dark Knight" easily defeated its competitors and won the North American box office championship.

This week, "Robot Wall-E" has entered a period of flattening at the box office The decline of 35% still maintains the long-term ability of the cartoon, and the weekend box office of 16 million US dollars is enough Let "Robot Wall-E" continue to stay in the top three and occupy the third place. This also makes the box office score of "Robot Wall-E" officially crossed the threshold of 300 million. At present, it has accumulated data of 315 million. Although the hope of 400 million is slim, it still exists. The task of surpassing "Ratatouille" is Relatively certain.

The work that won the runner-up was this week's newly released "Not Brothers". This comedy starring Will Ferrell earned a premiere score of 30 million. Although it is not a surprise, it is also very good, but , Due to the disadvantage of word of mouth, it is a big question mark whether the work can break through the threshold of 100 million. This summer, it seems that comedy movies have not found enough golden keys to open the hearts of the audience. Except for "Sex and the City" and "Confused Detective", all other comedies have been wiped out, including Adam Sander, who has always performed well. So is Le.

After that, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe", a classic failure, only took $10 million at the box office, ranking fourth. Old faces such as "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", "National Superman Hancock", and "Hellboy 2" were lined up in turn.

In the first week of August, "Batman: The Dark Knight" will welcome a strong opponent, "The Mummy 3."
