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

No one would have imagined that the box office of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" would exceed 600 million, becoming the second film in North American film history to reach 600 million. This is definitely the biggest surprise of the year, and even overshadowed Beijing The boom in the Olympics is absolutely something no one could have predicted.

"Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" is no longer just a call for the second "Titanic". In fact, Christopher Nolan's profound discussion on the theme of the movie has actually exceeded the artistic connotation. A sincere discussion in the face of the "Titanic" disaster. "The Dark Knight" puts the footnote on the wrong relationship between justice and evil, and has a profound and cold discussion of human nature from the perspective of the clown, which is actually beyond the influence of a commercial film, even if it is more It’s no different from art films that focus on philosophical reflection.

And the performance of the "Dark Knight" actors is definitely Oscar-level. Michael-Kane, Morgan-Freeman are all veteran actors at the level of movie stars, Christian Bale, Gary-Oldman's performances are not inferior to Maggie-Gyllenhaal, Aaron-Eckhart It adds a lot to the movie, not to mention the one-of-a-kind Evan Bell. The clown created by Evan Bell has become one of the most classic villain characters in film history. The light he released in the movie completely suppressed everyone in the movie. People say that in fact, the "Dark Knight" The real protagonist is the clown, no matter whether it is discussed in terms of the proportion of the scene or the weight of the core idea.

With word of mouth, box office, acting and technology, "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" is definitely comparable to "Titanic" and "The Return of the Lord of the Rings" in the awards season, but whether it can reach the first two in the Oscars The height of the above will depend on the performance of the next awards season.

After crossing 600 million, the box office performance of "The Dark Knight" in November is obvious to all, and it has completed a counterattack for two consecutive weeks. Although the weekly box office growth is not spectacular, the "Titanic" is 600 million. The box office figure of 100,000 is no longer a distant record. In just ten days, "The Dark Knight" officially surpassed the box office bomb at the end of the century with a box office figure of 601 million and became the new box office. Myth, topped the box office charts in North American film history!

Before "Batman: The Dark Knight" came out, was anyone expecting it to be the box office hit in 2008? Maybe there is, because Evan Bell has held the position of the year-end box office champion for two consecutive years; then does anyone predict that the box office champion of North American film history will be replaced in 2008? I'm afraid not.

But the fact is that, "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" completed this feat. After 500 million to 600 million, "Titanic" has maintained the box-office championship throne in film history for 11 years. Led by Christopher Nolan to the top with Bell, the dog!

After completing its own box office myth, the pace of "The Dark Knight" has not stopped, and has always maintained a very high box office figure. In the end, the North American box office of the film stopped at 630 million, and it was announced that The footsteps of making history have finally settled down. In the end, the North American box office of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" was fixed at 620 million, crowning the box office champion in North American film history!

After breaking "Titanic"'s 11-year hold on the box office charts in North America, "Batman: The Dark Knight"'s overseas performance outside North America is also expected. However, purely in terms of subject matter, "Titanic" is obviously dominant, and the facts have proved that it is.

"The Dark Knight" has launched a large-scale screening in 62 countries and regions around the world. The number of "62" is actually very limited. You must know that "Robot Wall-E" is in more than 80 countries. Screenings were held in the area. In fact, it is not only the classification of the "Dark Knight", but also the insinuation of New York in the film and the insinuation of the US government after the introduction, all of which have a great influence.

Don't you see that when US President George W. Bush went to Beijing to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he asked the Chinese foreign minister who came to receive him in public, "Have you seen the 'Dark Knight?'" by the president of a country to a movie Publicity in a formal setting is absolutely unprecedented.

From here, we can also see the reason why "The Dark Knight" created miracles in the North American film market, because it touched the hearts of Americans. At this point, the theme of "Titanic"'s pursuit of beautiful love is obviously more suitable for promotion on a global scale, and naturally has an advantage.

Even so, "The Dark Knight" easily won the championship in 49 countries and regions around the world, and firmly held the global box office championship for three weeks, with remarkable achievements. The reason for not completing the four consecutive championships is that although "Mummy" failed to hit the championship throne in the North American market, but relying on the reputation accumulated in the first two episodes and the east wind of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Terracotta Warriors in the play attracted wide attention and succeeded in the show. Completed the sniping of "The Dark Knight" on the global box office charts.

In terms of overseas markets, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain and other countries and regions performed very well. The limitations of the "Dark Knight" in overseas markets can be seen from a small area, and that is the United Kingdom.

"Mamma Mia" swept $160 million in the UK box office, almost as good as the US box office, making everyone's eyes shine; but "The Dark Knight" in the UK box office "only" only 150 million Tens of millions of dollars, not only a thousand miles worse than the North American market, but also inferior to the performance of "Mamma Mia". It can be seen from this that the North American brand of "The Dark Knight" is too deep, and its success in the world's fan group is still hindered; while "Mamma Mia" has benefited from the promotion of aBBa's classic songs, and its performance in the global market has not been improved. Excellent too much.

Imagine that "Mamma Mia" has actually created a box office data of up to 580 million US dollars outside North America, which is almost close to the box office record of "The Dark Knight" in North America, although there is no comparison, but You can still clearly see the appeal of "Mamma Mia" in overseas regions.

But even so, "The Dark Knight" performed very well at the overseas box office. Although the gap compared to "Mamma Mia"'s appalling $580 million doesn't seem to be very big, there are still some 610 million figures. From the figure of 610 million, many things can be seen. First, the overseas market of "The Dark Knight" only narrowly beats "Mamma Mia", and the leading data is not enough to see; second, the overseas market of "The Dark Knight" The box office lags behind the North American box office; third, the overseas box office of "The Dark Knight" is too far from the "Titanic"'s figure of 1.3 billion US dollars.

The factors that determine the box office are clearly presented here. In addition to the quality of the film itself and the appeal of the actors, the differences brought about by regions, cultures, and themes are far more profound than expected.

Even so, the overseas box office figure of "The Dark Knight" of 610 million is enough to make everyone's eyes shine. Coupled with the excellent performance in North America, the cumulative box office of "The Dark Knight" worldwide has reached ten Two hundred and forty million!

Although this final result is a long way from the historical record of 1.8 billion of "Titanic", "Batman: The Dark Knight" has become the sixth film in film history with a global box office of over 1 billion, and surpassed "The Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and many other competitors, leading the "Pirates of the Caribbean", with only 45 million data, occupy the runner-up position in the global box office rankings, only falling behind "Pirates of the Caribbean" Behind the movie "Titanic".

It is worth mentioning that the overseas box office of the second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean" far exceeds the data of "The Dark Knight", so the victory and defeat have become so subtle. Is the real magic weapon.

As of 2008, the top five North American box office charts became "Batman: The Dark Knight," "Titanic," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Star Wars," and "Shrek;" The top five on the list are "Titanic," "Batman: The Dark Knight Pirates of the Caribbean," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "The Lord of the Rings."

It can be said that "The Dark Knight" has reshuffled the major charts, especially the feat of reaching the top of the box office charts in North American film history, which will become an absolute topic after dinner for a long time in the future.

In addition, after carefully examining the North American and global box office lists, you can find that Evan and Bell have two seats in the top five in North American film history and three seats in the top five in global film history. Such a sturdy appeal , even Will Smith is willing to give in, and it is definitely the number one in film history. It's no wonder that Evan-Bell has held the title of champion for three years on the iMDB character rankings.

The summer box office battle finally came to an end, and everything was settled. But in fact, the excitement created by "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" has never stopped. From this situation, it will continue throughout the awards season. However, to trace this lively situation, it can start from July 11th when Michael Kane left his name on the Walk of Fame to express his support for Evan Bell, and the world premiere reached its first peak on July 18th. , followed by the horror data of the opening weekend box office to new heights, and completely reached a boiling point in the gossip about the dog Bell.
