The spinning top keeps spinning, and the open ending leaves enough suspense and gives the audience plenty of room for discussion.
Christopher Nolan is a director with a very strong commercial attributes. Unlike his favorite Michael Bay, he knows how to stir the heartstrings of the audience while maintaining a high level of force.
In terms of commercial and textual contributions, "Inception" is definitely a good film that has been rarely seen in recent years.
The premiere was over, and the audience successively walked out of the Nokia Theatre.
"What film is "Inception"?
Quite a few viewers came out of the North American premiere of "Inception" with an incredible expression.
Some people are puzzled by the words on their faces, some are thinking about the plot of the movie, some are exchanging opinions, and some are excited and surprised as if there has just been a big explosion in their minds and the aftermath is not over. The color hasn't faded yet.
Some people are happy to see that this kind of refreshment is not the sensory stimulation that can be created by cold electronic vocabulary such as CGI, IMAX, and 3D alone.
Before long, there will be countless people, countless posts, countless sleepless nights, just to analyze and discuss this movie frame by frame.
With a complete publicity plan, excellent distribution strategy, the appeal of the director to the actors themselves, and the quality of the film itself, "Inception" undoubtedly possesses most of the potential of a big-selling movie.
On the first day of its release in North America, this sci-fi movie received $26.78 million in 4221 theaters, easily surpassing Twentieth Century Fox’s "Max Payne" and became the box office champion of the day.
"Inception" won a lot of praise, and most people believe that it will be the best work this year.
In the word-of-mouth marketing of Embassy Pictures, Inception was the first to complete its transformation through the Internet and became a masterpiece among the audience.
Even if it is really a work by God, you must blow vigorously. If you don't blow, who knows who you are? Who would look at it more?
The film industry has developed to this day, and there have been many divine works, but there are also more divine works. There are more people who belong to the blowjob, and it is not a **** but also a god.
The open ending of "Inception" leaves the audience with unlimited imagination and interpretation.
At the end of the film, the "foundation" was successful. The six members of the Inception team woke up on the plane. Saito also fulfilled his promise and called to cancel the protagonist’s lawsuit in the United States. The protagonist was able to enter the customs smoothly, and the protagonist was finally able to go home to see his two Child, when the protagonist turns on the spinning top that can distinguish dreams and reality, the film stops there. The director does not explain whether the spinning top is spinning or not.
As the most room for discussion, does the protagonist Cobb return to reality or live in a dream?
In order to prove their point of view, audiences with different interpretations went into the theater one after another to watch "Inception" again to find more evidence to support their point of view.
A movie is never afraid of controversy, but no controversy. The more controversial the topic, the more popular it is in the market. Only controversy can attract enough attention.
Only three days after its release, the interpretation boom triggered by "Inception" has become one of the most public opinion topics of the North American media and the public.
Therefore, during the opening weekend in North America, although this film did not break the phenomenon that the original non-sequel movies could hardly exceed 100 million in the first week, the US$78.99 million at the box office can still be guaranteed to top the North American box office chart.
This number does not seem to be very high. It is very rare for an original commercial film.
In recent years, apart from "Avatar", no original non-sequel live-action film has reached such a high box office.
Controversy and excellent audience reputation made "Inception" the hottest movie in North America in October, and the trend was exceptionally stable. The box office fell less than 40% the next weekend to $49.22 million.
In addition to the income from the previous four working days, in just two weekends, Inception's North American box office exceeded $150 million.
The fiery performance of North America has also spread to the international market through the ever-increasing speed of information dissemination, and then it has been released in many overseas countries and regions.
At the invitation of China Film Group and the efforts of the Oriental branch of Relativity Entertainment, in late October, Christopher Nolan led the "Inception" creative team including Tom Cruise across the endless Pacific Ocean to Dongfang held a special premiere.
Although "The Dark Knight" failed to pass the scissor review due to various reasons including anarchism, and ultimately missed its release in the Eastern market, the developed internet and ubiquitous piracy still let Christopher Nolan be here. He has a huge reputation, especially on the film rating website that focuses on beans, and has gained countless fans.
Tom Cruise's appeal here is equally amazing. It is a bowl of soup that has been cooked in the Oriental market for 20 years.
Many crews of Relativity Entertainment have come here to hold their premieres, and the Shimao contract between the two parties is about to expire. In the re-signed clauses on movies, the share of Hollywood movies has almost doubled.
Twenty-five percent may not seem like a lot, but it is the net income excluding the publicity and distribution expenses, taxes, and various fund fees that must be paid by China Film and other introduced companies.
In other overseas markets, after removing various costs, Hollywood companies will not be able to get more than these, and even in some markets even less.
What attracts Hollywood companies such as Relativity Entertainment is naturally the increasingly prosperous movie market in the East.
From the time "Transformers" was released, the movie market in the East began to grow sharply like the height of a growing teenager.
With "Avatar" setting an unprecedented box office record in the Oriental movie market, the speed of theater construction here has skyrocketed. The number of screens added in the last two months has exceeded the total of the previous year.
The release of "Avatar", like the "Titanic" of the year, is a landmark event in the Eastern film market, which means that the film and cinema industry here has officially entered the fast lane of development.
Correspondingly, Hollywood blockbusters can make more and more money in the Oriental film market.
Under this stimulus, Hollywood has become more and more vigorous in the Oriental market, and marketing needs have increased. The old routines of the past-find the media to post articles, Chineseize some trailers and posters, and buy some bus stop signs. Can't meet the needs of the market.
So, one by one Hollywood crews began to come to the East to make their premiere.
The Oriental Film Market is different from other single overseas markets in Hollywood. Its future volume is too large.
No one knows this better than Ronan, so the first-line blockbusters of Relativity Entertainment will strive to enter the oriental film market unless they are irresistible factors such as Big Scissors.
In the face of excellent marketing and overwhelming reputation, "Inception" overseas box office statistics have been released.
In the Oriental film market, "Inception" collected nearly 12 million US dollars in three days of weekends, which is also the best three-day box office performance in the Oriental film market after "Avatar" and "Transformers".
In other regions, the first week of Inception was also high. The United Kingdom received 14.52 million US dollars, France received more than 12 million US dollars, Germany closed nearly 15 million US dollars, and Australia cut more than 9 million US dollars...
In the first week of "Inception" being screened overseas, it won nearly US$155 million!
The situation became very obvious. After passing the "Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan created a "super work" in the eyes of fans.
Not only at the box office, but the surroundings of "Inception" are also popular. For example, Tom Cruise's small props used by Tom Cruise to distinguish between reality and dreams-tops are also popular.
The commemorative gyroscope distributed by Relativity Entertainment to theaters was sold at a price of $12 per piece, and it was sold out on the day the film was released.
The price of the commemorative tops sold in stores and online channels ranged from US$80 to US$130, and hundreds of thousands of them were sold in just two weeks.
In terms of developing the film derivatives market, Relativity Entertainment has rich experience, and the popular sales of Inception Gyro also benefited from its huge ability to operate the entire industry chain.
Christopher Nolan is at the peak of his career as a director, and his works have reached a certain height in both commercial and other aspects.
Of course film companies like such a director.

The project will be directed by Christopher Nolan in the future, and the script will be completed by his brother Jonathan Nolan. It mainly tells a team of explorers using their new discoveries against wormholes. , Surpassing the limit of human beings for space travel, and thus began the story of interstellar voyage in the vast universe.
The name of the script, Ronan, is familiar-"Interstellar".
The earliest idea of the Nolan Brothers, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is from the California Institute of Technology physicist Kip Thorne, in the words of Christopher Nolan: "Kip Thorne has done a lot of surprises about the potential of theoretical wormholes and time travel. Research and work."
As early as last year, Christopher Nolan mentioned this project to Ronan, because the script has always been the first draft, Ronan is not in a hurry.
During the period, Spielberg once lobbied the Nolan brothers, but the Nolan brothers had already signed a long-term contract with Relativity Entertainment and rejected the olive branch thrown by DreamWorks.
"Inception" will be a giant space production with a production budget of no less than 160 million US dollars.
Tom Cruise has received relevant news from Christopher Nolan and is willing to play the leading actor.
In addition to the "Mission Impossible" series, Tom Cruise is also developing other territories.
