The third update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

In the first week of August, taking advantage of the east wind of the Beijing and Beijing Olympic Games, the stage was moved to the "Mummy" among the Terracotta Warriors, which was shown in 3,800 theaters. This was the last commercial blockbuster in the summer of 2008. , the investment of 145 million US dollars, coupled with the good reputation of the previous two previous works, makes "The Mummy", considered to be very promising to pick out the works of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

If last week's "Not Brothers" and "Dossier: I Want to Believe" just let "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" loosen up, then this week's box office competition is extra intense," Mummy Xiong, definitely Have enough energy to hit the championship.

It's a pity that when "The Mummy 3" was released, it only got a comprehensive media score of 31 points and a freshness rating of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, which made everyone fall through the glasses, and finally the weekend box office of 37 million US dollars. The box office of the Transcript Hall did not even exceed 10,000, compared with the cost of 145 million, compared with the premiere results of the first film of 45 million and the second of 67 million, "The Mummy, no doubt It was a complete failure.

The fiasco of "The Mummy" once again taught everyone a heavy lesson: even if it is a commercial blockbuster, without a good script, it is impossible to have a good prospect only by relying on special effects and figures. Especially in "Batman: The Dark Knight" repeatedly In front of the wonderful story that was praised, "The mummy became more and more embarrassed.

The enemy's self-destruction of the Great Wall allowed "The Dark Knight" to pick off the challenger with almost no effort. With a 38% shock drop, it won 57 million US dollars, easily breaking the box office of the third weekend of film history. The historical record of achievements once again crushed the glasses of all professional film critics, and successfully won the three consecutive championships in the summer of 2008. It's not that "The Dark Knight" isn't good enough, but that it left everyone dumbfounded and speechless.

Carrying the momentum of 2008's "High School Musical and Dance", and then the second three consecutive championships, "The Dark Knight" released 17 days and accumulated a total of 450 million US dollars at the box office! You know, "Shrek, the cumulative box office broke the 400 million threshold. It took forty-three days, which is the best record in film history, and the "Dark Knight" only took fifteen days to complete this feat. Such a comparison really makes all the gorgeous words pale.

In just three weeks, "The Dark Knight" burst into the top ten of the North American film history box-office charts with thunderous momentum, temporarily ranking behind "Titanic", "Star Wars Prequel," and "Star Wars" , "Shrek," "Alien", "The Lion King", "Pirates of the Caribbean" The second and third works have all been picked out one by one. Now it seems that even "Star Wars", " Star Wars prequels, "are no longer the target of the "Dark Knight", there is no doubt that it has targeted the 500 million mark, and even many people have begun to see "Titanic" in North America at 608 million million dollar peak.

After the "Dark Knight"'s three consecutive championships, "The Mummy", "Not Brother", "Robot Wall-E" and "Adventures in the Center of the Earth" ranked second to fourth. Among them, "Robot Wall-E" fell by only 28% this week, and the weekend box office made another 12 million US dollars. Not so far away either.

Then in the second week of August, James-Franco and Seth-Rogan, two partners who lost friends, brought "Pineapple Express," a four-girl youth story that Blake-Lively joined in "Summer of Jeans" premieres separately. However, these two works obviously failed to shake the hegemony of the "Dark Knight". The sniping failure of "The Mummy 3" officially declared that the "Dark Knight" was unmatched. At this time, no one considered the North American box office at the end of this year. The champion of the "Dark Knight" is none other than the "Dark Knight". What everyone is more concerned about is whether the final end point of this wonderful hero movie is the threshold of 500 million or 600 million.

The results were also as expected, "The Dark Knight" dropped "Pineapple Express" and "Summer Lights of Jeans" with a 38% drop for the second consecutive week, completing the summer season after "Pirates of the Caribbean," This is also the only two four-peat championships in the summer file of North American film history, all of which belong to Evan Bell! Crown has a large part of its income from the arrangement of the schedule. This is a summer schedule with fierce competition, and the "Dark Knight" has ruled the summer for a whole month.

The weekend box office of 35 million US dollars brought the cumulative box office of "The Dark Knight" to 495 million US dollars. At present, the big mountain standing in front of the "Dark Knight" is only the "Titanic". There is no suspense for 500 million, so what about 600 million?

"Pineapple Express", "The Mummy 3," "Summer of Jeans," "Not Brothers", "Robot Wall-E", "Adventures in the Center of the Earth", "National Superman Hancock" are arranged in order.

Among them, the 61% decline in "The Mummy" directly declared that Universal Pictures' work was completely lost, and it could only hope to recover the cost in overseas markets, which has also become a property of Universal Pictures. The most tragic investment in 2018; "Robot Wall-E" has entered the period of stable box office harvesting in the later stage of the animation. Although there is no more explosive power, its long lasting power cannot be underestimated; while "Pineapple Express" and "Jeans" Xia Deng, the performance of the two works is very gratifying. The two low-cost investment works, the former achieved a box office of 23 million, and the latter scored 11 million data, which can be said to be a good achievement.

After four consecutive weeks of domination, the "Dark Knight" continued to decline by less than 40%, but the 22 million results were not enough for the Joker to complete the unprecedented five consecutive summer championships, but unfortunately slipped to the third place throne.

This week's big hits are two new comedies, Ben Stiller's spoof comedy "Tropic Thunder" with Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, and Tom Cruise; and Eleven Works Room's third work this year, "Mamma Mia" composed of a strong lineup of Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth.

I have to say that the planning of the Eleventh Tour has become more and more calm and intelligent. "High School Musical, the first release before the summer season, followed by "Robot Wall-E" and Warner Bros' "Batman: The Dark Knight" echoing each other, and finally "Mamma Mia" landed at the end of the summer season and continued to preempt market.

In the end, "Mamma Mia" made $28 million at the weekend box office, while "Tropic Thunder" made a combined $26 million at the weekend box office. "Mamma Mia" won the sixth weekend box office title of Eleven Studios this year with an advantage of less than 2 million, while "Tropical Thunder" narrowly beat "The Dark Knight" with a value of 4 million and came in runner-up, the change of the dynasty was announced Closing.

The premiere score of "Mamma Mia" is the first in the musicals of all dynasties, which also proves the ability of Telavi-Nane, and has contributed a good work outside the "High School Musical" series. In addition to surpassing the previous works such as "Dream Girl" and "Hairspray" in terms of box office results, the media's comprehensive score of 68 points in word of mouth can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Relatively speaking, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 63%. It's not a gratifying figure either, this evaluation is considered to be an upper-middle result; but the high score of 7.8 on eMDB shows the audience's love for the work, which is an anomaly.

From this point of view, Travi-Nann has generally maintained his own level and has not completely lost control, but after leaving the stage of "High School Musical" and Broadway, his directing skills still need to be further adjusted. .

As for the evaluation, I still express regret for the frailty of the story. After all, "Mama Mia" can no longer be as youthful and invincible as "High School Musical". Because of the changes in the audience, the connotation of the story must also be changed and excavated; Meryl Streep's singing and dancing skills became the biggest highlight of the whole film, and the "Los Angeles Times", which gave a perfect score, even bluntly stated that Meryl Streep is expected to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award for the best musical comedy category with this film. Great heroine.

And "Tropical Thunder" continued the decline of this summer's comedy films. The premiere performance was not even as good as last week's eye-catching "Pineapple Express", and the word of mouth fell to the bottom The future box office results are not optimistic. .

The gap between the top three is so small that it is rare in the summer season, but "The Dark Knight" still relies on Yu Wei to continue to pick out the other two new works "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" cartoon version and "Ghost Mirror" released this week. "The overall power is undiminished.

Due to the lack of box office giants like "The Dark Knight", the entire box office competition has opened up since the third week of August. Then in the fourth week of August, "Mamma Mia" took in $18 million at the box office with a 35% drop, and unexpectedly emerged from the scuffle again, eyeing the re-election of the championship, which not only It is the seventh weekend box office champion of Eleven Studio this year, and it is the fourth championship of Eleven Studio in the summer season. This is really a gratifying thing. It seems that it has continued to be ranked in the top seven last year. Among the five trends in the company's ranks, Studio Eleven will not relax easily this year.

"Tropical Thunder" dropped 40 percent to only $16 million at the weekend box office, and it was a shame to lose out to "Mamma Mia" by two million for the second week in a row. The "Dark Knight" continued its unyielding fighting spirit, and the income of 14.5 million US dollars also completed the third place.

In this way, the melee situation in the fourth week of August actually continued the top three of last week step by step, and the newly released "School Bunny" and "Death Speed" were helpless as foils.
