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

Time flies, good fortune makes people. In 2006, Paramount merged with DreamWorks, and Hollywood changed from the Big Seven to the Big Six. However, in 2007, the strong rise of the Eleven Studio made the Big Six return to the Big Seven, but in 2008 Paramount and DreamWorks have parted ways once again, and this year's Big Seven will return to the days of the Big Eight Hollywood studios when they're counted in the middle of next year. Compared with DreamWorks' turbulent displacement, Eleven Studio, which was one of the seven majors last year, obviously showed a more stable and stronger strength.

Among Eleven Studio's year-end North American box office statistics, "Wall-E-Robot" was 390 million, "Juno" was 220 million, "Mamma Mia" was 190 million, "Slumdog Million" Rich..." 190 million, "High School Musical 3, 140 million, 29 million for "The Hurt Locker", 25 million for "Rachel's Wedding". The year-end North American box office accumulative figure of One Studio reached 1.184 billion. In 2008, the North American box office champion of major film companies was Warner Bros. Warner Bros. amassed $1.7 billion at the box office, easily crowned this year's studio champion; the company's runner-up is Paramount, which has joined forces with DreamWorks, relying on "Iron Man", "Indiana Jones 4," and "Kung Fu Panda". Outstanding performance, with a total North American box office of 1.52 billion, Paramount, which occupies three seats in the top ten, is also the company with the strongest performance after Eleven Studios. Sony Columbia Pictures has excellent works such as "National Superman Hancock" and "007 Quantum of Solace...", and the total North American box office of 1.23 billion is enough for it to occupy the third place.

Eleven Studios, which occupy four seats in the top ten, has only released seven works, so the overall situation is naturally inferior to other large film companies. You must know that even Paramount, which has released the fewest films, has ten Six works. So in the end, Eleven Studios "only" occupied the fourth place at the North American box office with 1.184 billion, which is one more place than last year.

In the year-end box office rankings in 2008, the top ten were divided among four companies, Eleven Studios had four, Paramount had three, and Warner Bros. and Sony Columbia had one each. The last seat belonged to "Twilight". "Sound" is the pinnacle entertainment that completes the counterattack. This brings three studios with no place in the top ten, Universal, Disney and Twentieth Century Fox.

Although these three film companies still retain their titles as the top seven film companies and their market share is still very good, none of them have a box office of more than 200 million, and none of the year-end North American cumulative box office can cross the threshold of one billion. This is really disappointing.

20th Century Fox's US$920 million, Universal Pictures' year-end North American box office of 900 million US dollars, and Disney's year-end North American box office of 720 million US dollars, these three big-name movie companies can only fall behind Eleven Studios. Crane tail in the rankings of major film companies.

As can be seen from the year-end rankings of major North American film companies, Eleven Studios has gradually gained a firm foothold, while 20th Century Fox is still faltering, and Universal Pictures and Disney are in even more danger. If they don’t show enough strength Come, the gap will only be widened. Now Eleven Studios can be called the first group among the seven major Hollywood film companies, while the veterans Universal Pictures and Disney have fallen into the second group, which is really not a good sign.

Eleven's victory in 2008 can be called a subversive victory, not only because it occupies the fourth place in the major studios, and not only because it occupies the fourth place in the top ten list. 1 seat, and because of the 100% win rate of Eleven Studios, only seven movies have created such a good result, and the powerful strength makes people speechless.

On next year's film schedule, Eleven Studio still has only three works, "Flying House", "Hangover" and "Fake Marriage", but no one will underestimate Eleven Studio, especially when it starts to get involved Eleven studios in the distribution field, and Evan-Bell, who has not made any news for the time being. Who knows what kind of surprises Eleven Studios will bring in 2009. In addition, DreamWorks will join the battlefield next year, and Hollywood will return to the history of the eight major film companies. What kind of situation will it present? All of this is unpredictable.

Compared with the upheaval of the North American market, the competitiveness of Eleven Studios in the global film market is not weak at all. Since the "Perfume", the distribution capabilities of Eleven Studios in the overseas market have continued to develop, although compared to the first-tier movies. There is still a big gap in the company, but the eleventh issue is still working hard. I believe that in the near future, everything will change qualitatively. On top of the 2008 global movie box office rankings, "Batman: The Dark Knight" still topped the list with $1.24 billion without any suspense. This is also Evan... Bell dominated North America for the third consecutive year, Double chart champion at the global box office. Needless to say, this result is enough to explain too many things.

"Robot Wall-E" relies on the strong North American box office, and continues to follow in the world... The Dark Knight has taken the runner-up position in his arms, and the score of 840 million is indeed very good.

In the face of the outstanding performance of the two dark horses, "Indiana Jones 4, relying on the series' strong reputation, naturally won the third place with regret, but it can be seen from here, "Indiana Jones 4, relying on the series' super reputation, has a global appeal. Still excellent. "Mamma Mia"'s almost unbelievable overseas box office performance has made it soar, only behind "Indiana Jones 4, with a score of 10 million US dollars, occupying the annual global box office with an amazing box office performance of 770 million US dollars. No. 4 on the box office charts, which is a great win indeed. It also gives Eleven Studios two spots in the top five of the global box office charts!

"Kung Fu Panda", "National Superman Hancock", "Madagascar 2", "Quantum of Solace in 007..." and "Iron Man" ranked fifth to ninth respectively. Taking the tenth place is "Slumdog Millionaire," which staggered into the top ten at the global box office of 490 million.

It can be seen from the global box office rankings that the trend of overseas box office is very different from that of North America. For example, "Iron Man, who won "Indiana Jones 4" in North America, was left behind a lot overseas: another example Saying "Slumdog Millionaire..." does far better globally than, say, 'Juno'.

In fact, on a global scale, "Juno" did not even resist the impact of "High School Musical 3," High School Musical 3, ranked eleventh, while "Juno" was tenth Four. Although "Juno" performed well in North America, its global achievement of 380 million US dollars is still far inferior to "High School Musical 3, 420 million."

It can be seen from this that it is not easy for "Juno" and "Iron Man" to perform well in overseas markets due to cultural differences. It won the championship at the global box office, but compared to the sky-high overseas box office of "Mamma Mia", "The Dark Knight" is still not enough to watch.

Eleven Studio occupies three seats in the top ten, and five in the top twenty. The overall performance is indeed very good, and the overall average strength is indeed ahead of other film companies.

In addition, the overseas box office of "The Hurt Locker" also exceeded expectations. In the end, the global box office reached 76 million, which is really exciting, which also made "The Hurt Locker" successfully break into the global list. The top 100 of the list occupies a decent position such as the 72nd.

Relatively speaking, "Rachel's Wedding" obviously does not have this overseas box office capability. The global box office is only 32 million, and it is still out of the top 100.

However, whether it is "The Hurt Locker" or "Rachel's Wedding," relative to their investment, the box office results are actually very good, not to mention that such works will rely on dvps:D to make profits in the future. Therefore, the real dividend depends on the trend after the awards season ends.

In 2008, Eleven Studio stepped into the second year of the Seventh National Congress, and finally, under the leadership of Evan Bell, handed over an answer sheet that satisfied everyone. More than satisfied, it should be called amazing. ! Although Evan Bell has only contributed to Eleven Studio this year, one work of 'Juno' and the scenery of "The Dark Knight" must be divided under the banner of Warner Bros., but in fact, the screenwriter of "Robot Wall-E" In the list, there is Evan... Bell's existence, and the distribution company of Eleventh Issue's first foray into the works of other production companiesEvan-Bell has played a decisive role, regardless of the future trend of the awards season Not to mention, "Slumdog Millionaire..." This business is enough to make major film companies jealous.

At the beginning, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. had the opportunity to hold "Slumdog Millionaire..." in their hands, but unfortunately they lacked Evan Bell's discerning eyes, and even less Evan Bell's decisiveness and passion. , so in the end this honor fell into the hands of Eleven Studio.

Today's Eleven Studios is no longer a fledgling player, they have a good card in their hands, and with an absolutely strong attitude, they have become an existence that no one can ignore. In the current state, it is not enough to be vigilant about Eleven Studios. When major film companies make distribution arrangements for their works, Eleven Studios, like the other six major film companies, must be taken into consideration. scope.

Maybe one day in the future, Eleven Studio will also start to get involved, 'Batman prequel The Dark Knight..." This is a blockbuster that has been applauded and popular, but Eleven Studio is still an independent studio, and the commercial blockbusters they shoot are bound to have one. It's a refreshing new look. Works like "Iron Man Little "The Dark Knight" are all good choices. Then, by then, the ranking of the seven major Hollywood film companies may change again.
