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

In the third week of June, "Toy Story 3" against "Despicable Me" attracted most of the attention. In the end, "Despicable Me" won the championship, and "Toy Story 3" Juya, but the box office performance of the two sides was very close, and it was completely OK. Call it a win-win outcome.

Since the entire North American film market focused on the second battle of "Toy Story 3" and "Despicable Me", the performance of other works was less than satisfactory.

The first is "Western Hero Jonah Hux", which was released at the same time as "Despicable Me". This work received 35 points from the media's comprehensive review, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 14%. All the insults, many authoritative organizations are not stingy with their own zero-point signboards, and the work has reached the bottom.

And the 2,800 theaters only received $5.3 million at the opening weekend box office, which is even more astonishing. Although this work has only invested 47 million, such a box office The numbers are still unsatisfactory. It seems that under the bombardment of Egg Tomatoes, Megan Fox will once again continue to wear the title of "Queen of Bad Movies".

In terms of old works, "Kung Fu Dream" dropped by 47% and got a box office of 29.8 million US dollars, slightly higher than expected, but it has accumulated a box office of 107 million US dollars, surpassing 100 million. There's basically nothing wrong with $50 million. Jaden Smith has also emerged as one of the brightest child stars, with the work taking third place this week, just behind "Despicable Me" and "Toy Story 3."

Surprisingly, the "Dragon Special Attack Team" dropped by only 40% this week. Adult male audiences who are not interested in cartoons are also not very interested in "Kung Fu Dream". As a result, the impact of the "Dragon Special Attack Team" was much smaller than expected, which can only be said to be a fortune among misfortunes. "Dragon Commandos" earned $15 million at the box office this week, taking the No. 1 spot.

As of the third week of June, the trend of this year's summer season is very interesting. "Iron Man 2" has won two consecutive championships, "Shrek 4" has won two consecutive championships, and "Toy Story 3" has won two consecutive championships. "Despicable Me" is currently one week. win the championship.

So after entering the fourth week of June, whether "Despicable Me" can continue the bizarre phenomenon of two consecutive championships this summer has become the biggest point of interest.

Of course, "Despicable Me" won a lot of praise in the first week, and the box office drop in the second week was also a lot of attention. In addition to word of mouth, what kind of results the first cooperation between Disney and Lighting Entertainment will achieve at the box office, also It will start showing signs in the second week. Strictly speaking, the summer battle between DreamWorks, Pixar, and Disney is not over, and the final box office trend of the three animation works is still the focus of competition.

Affected by the upsurge of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, the North American film market in June was also affected to varying degrees. Two new works were released in the fourth week of June, namely the comedy film "Growing Up" and the action film "Dangerous Situation". espionage".

"Growing Up" is led by Adam Sandler, including Kevin James, Chris Rock, and Salma Hayek. It was produced by Sony Columbia Pictures with an investment of 80 million. Comedy movies have always had a place in the summer season, and although Adam **** has declined in recent years, its appeal is still not to be underestimated. Creating good results is worth looking forward to.

"Dangerous Spy War" invited James Mangold, the director of "Soul Shifting Girl" and "Deadly Identity" to direct, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard, The huge cast of Paul Dano and Viola Davis, which Twentieth Century Fox has built at a cost of $120 million, is the most favorable contender for the title this week.

Before that, "Shrek 4" faced severe challenges from "Prince of Persia: The Blade of Time" and "Sex and the City 2" and won; The impact of "Kung Fu Dream" has achieved a complete victory; now, "Despicable Me" will fight with the two works of "Growing Up" and "Dangerous Spy War".

This is the same situation: animation faces two challengers, a big-budget summer commercial blockbuster, and another type of film that is competitive enough to launch at a lower cost. In the previous forecast, People are generally optimistic about commercial blockbusters, and this time too, "Dangerous Spy War" is generally optimistic about winning this week's box office champion.

However, the first two predictions were wrong. The last laughs were cartoons. This time, the impact of "Growing Up" should not be underestimated. Can "Despicable Me" complete the championship again and continue this summer What about the strange format of the file?

In the fourth week of June, after the release of the two new films, Qi Qi encountered a frenzy of word-of-mouth criticism. The "Growing Up" Rotten Tomatoes score was only 9% fresh, and the media comprehensive review score was 25 points. It is difficult to bear such a judgment; the situation of "Dangerous Spy War" is not much better. The media comprehensive review only got 45 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 51%. For Tom Cruise, it was a huge blow.

"Growing Up", whose quality was unanimously attacked by the media, benefited from the excellent effect of the trailer, and received a box office of 33 million US dollars in the first week. This figure far exceeded expectations. Dele has finally found his way, which is gratifying.

On the contrary, "Dangerous Spy War" was not so lucky. The first box office of only 20 million US dollars made 20th Century Fox's throat, not to mention the paper cost of 120 million US dollars, the final box office in North America can break through 7 Make sure you break a cold sweat.

Tom Cruise's situation in recent years has also been very bad. After "Mission: Impossible 3" in 2006, "Lion into the Sheep's Mouth" and "Assassination of Hitler" all suffered box-office failures. In fact, the box office of "Mission: Impossible 3" It has not reached the expected height. Although Tom Cruise still has a strong appeal in overseas markets, it is difficult for the North American market to reproduce the glory of the year. The decline of a generation of box office superstars makes people sigh.

People can't help but think that "Agent Short", which will be released in the fourth week of July, was originally made for Tom Cruise, but he quit because it overlapped too much with the "Mission Impossible" series. , and found Angelina - Jolie to play. If "Agent Short" does well at the box office, the news that Tom Cruise is now losing ground in North America may be on the way.

In the face of the failure of the two newly released works, "Despicable Me" ushered in an excellent opportunity to win the championship. This work won the cheers of the media and showed a 41% drop in the next week. The performance proved the absolute wisdom of Disney's acquisition of Illumination Entertainment, and also exacerbated the regret of Universal Pictures. The 33 million second weekend box office and the 120 million cumulative box office are enough to make Disney happy.

And "Toy Story 3", which entered the fourth week of its release, continued its ultra-low decline this week. The 30% decline data allowed it to gain box office data of 33.6 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, accumulating The box office has reached 420 million in one fell swoop, and the historical record of "Shrek 2" is close at hand!

It is worth noting that the weekend box office of "Growing Up", "Despicable Me" and "Toy Story 3" are all in the 33 million level this week, which also makes the box office battle in the fourth week of June unprecedented. Violently, after the comparison of 100,000 and 10,000 digits, "Toy Story 3" returned to the top of the championship with an advantage of 300,000 US dollars, and "Despicable Me" took the lead with an advantage of 70,000 US dollars. The runner-up, "growing up" can only stay in the third runner-up position aggrievedly.

The first puzzle of the summer season was officially announced. After "Iron Man 2", "Shrek 4" and "Toy Story 3" each won two consecutive titles, "Despicable Me" failed to continue this formula, but Completed the counterattack by "Toy Story 3" and won the third weekly championship after its release.

But it must be admitted that the performance of "Despicable Me" has far exceeded expectations. The box office data of the two-week release is almost the same as that of "Shrek 4" in the same period, and "Despicable Me" has benefited from a good reputation. , the long-term sales are definitely better than "Shrek 4". Therefore, although "Shrek 4" will benefit from the sequel movie at the global box office and will have an advantage in terms of appeal, but in the competition at the North American box office, "Despicable Me" has already taken the lead. .

At this point, the North American summer animation war is the real stage, and Pixar is still a leaderToy Story 3” broke through the 400 million threshold at the box office within four weeks of its release, and the history of “Shrek 2” The record is already within reach, there is no doubt about breaking the record, and now it depends on what position the overall box office can end up in; Disney is making a strong comeback. Although the live-action movies have suffered one after another in the summer, they have received the help of Lighting Entertainment. After that, Disney took a different route and blazed a trail, declaring that Disney has once again become a player that cannot be ignored in the 3D computer animation market; "Toy Story 3" and "Despicable Me" also fell behind in the contest, but the excellent quality of "How to Train Your Dragon" still makes no one dare to underestimate the ability of DreamWorks.

Pixar, Lighting Entertainment, DreamWorks, the battle between the top three has gradually become clear, coupled with the high-quality Blue Sky Studio, and Warner Bros., which explodes from time to time, the future animation market is just around the corner!
