Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 152 Weird box office curve! The ship exploded!

"Titanic" has grossed more than $100 million in North America, and even though it was previously unpopular with the media and theaters, it is now attracting everyone's attention.

After its first day of more than 28 million US dollars at the box office, it only reported more than 10 million US dollars at the box office in the next two days. Compared with its high production cost and publicity cost, it can be said to be a miserable loss.

However, in the second week, he made more than 35 million US dollars at the box office, winning the North American weekly box office championship!

But.

It did not attract the attention of the audience and the film company. Instead, it was sarcastic, calling it another high-cost movie that lost money.

In the second week of the release of "Titanic", whether it is "Beautiful Teacher" produced by Disney, or "Three Children Action" released by Sony Columbia, or Touchstone Pictures, Dimen Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures The released movies, without exception, are all fucking slammed into the streets, and they are really bad movies.

If you choose the taller among the dwarfs, "Titanic" naturally cannot cause heated discussion. The media and newspapers are all rushing to report on these bad films. After all, they have received money and have to do things!

"Titanic" was directly forgotten!

The most terrifying thing in the world is to be forgotten, and Cameron himself was crying and fainting in the toilet.

In the third week, "Titanic" won another 33.31 million US dollars at the box office, a drop of only 6.0%, and the weekly box office champion was again in its hands;

Since the film was released, it started with the cynicism of the media and was forgotten by everyone. The box office has quietly exceeded 100 million US dollars in a time span of three weeks!

"what?"

"How did it make over 100 million dollars at the box office?"

"Could it be that Paramount and 20th Century Fox bought the box office?"

"But it's not right. Now they're all losing money. Where can there be money to invest in "Titanic"!"

The theater party first noticed the unusual, because they were the first level of box office generation, and they naturally knew the specific box office amount.

Some media and film critics also noticed the strangeness of the big ship.

As the saying goes, "The person who knows you best and pays the most attention to you is always your opponent." This sentence is placed on Cameron's old friend, old rival, and well-known film critic Asim Albert. Couldn't be more suitable.

"God~!"

Asim frowned and said, "How come it's box office quietly exceeds 100 million US dollars? Is it possible that it can still turn over after this step?!"

As Cameron's old rival, Asim naturally doesn't want "Titanic" to succeed.

......

I have to say that Asim's concerns became a reality in the fourth week!

In the fourth week, Da Ship once again reported a box office of 28.71 million US dollars, which was also the North American box office champion this week, with a drop of only 13.8%.

The decline is small, far less than those high-cost blockbusters in the past.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" a group of media reporters shouted.

"Hahaha, we are wrong. We judged that "Titanic" would lose a lot at the box office, but we didn't expect it to have won the North American box office championship for four consecutive weeks, with a total box office of more than 135 million US dollars." The representative exclaimed.

"Who said that our movies will lose money, isn't that up!" 20th Century Fox and Paramount were amazed.

Compared with the media, theaters, and production companies, the audience's response was more direct. They loved the movie Dachuan. Two brush, three brush mode.

So...

In the fifth week of its release, "Titanic" actually experienced a reverse growth pattern at the box office, rising 25.4% to close at more than $36 million.

It was the highest-grossing week since its release.

......

Wald Pictures.

Kevin Feige looked at Zucker and exclaimed: "Boss, it's incredible. The big ship has been released for a month, and there is still a reverse growth at the box office, and it is still the highest box office week since its release. It's so rare, it's a miracle!"

"It's a miracle!" Zucker agreed.

A month after the movie was released, the highest single-week box office appeared. Looking at the century-old history of Hollywood, it is not that it has never happened. However, it basically happened from the 1920s to the 1960s. After entering the 1980s, no film presented a box office curve like "Titanic".

The small drop is also rare in the world!

"Boss, Big Ship's box office may well exceed $300 million in North America."

CEO Victor also said: "Of course, if overseas audiences also agree, it is estimated that the global box office will not be less than 800 million!"

$800 million?

Bullshit!

"Mr. Jones, you're not kidding. With $800 million at the global box office, there aren't many in the world. Could it be another "Jurassic Park"?"

Although Kevin Feige marvels that the big ship is a miracle, he doesn't believe it very much to say that it has grossed more than 800 million US dollars.

"Uh......"

Victor was dumbfounded.

Zucker laughed out loud.

"Victor, trust your own judgment!"

"Kevin, I agree with you that Titanic will not be the next Jurassic Park, because I firmly believe it will surpass Jurassic Park!"

"You heard right!"

"It will surpass Spielberg's all-time high of $1.02 billion!"

After Zhu Ke finished his judgment in one breath, he looked at the two of them triumphantly.

Victor: "..."

Kevin Feige: "..."

In fact, not only Kevin Feige doesn't believe it, but Paramount and Fox, the film's production companies, can't believe it will be the next "Jurassic Park". Well, even director Cameron himself couldn't believe it would make more than $1.8 billion at the global box office.

......

As the box office climbed step by step, the reputation of "Titanic" gradually spread.

The love story of Jack and Ruth, the performance of everyone when the ship sank, the ending song "My Heart Will Go On", the amazing special effects, the restoration of the ship a hundred years ago, etc., have become topics for American movie audiences to discuss the truth.

In its sixth week, the film once again took in $25.23 million at the box office.

In the seventh week, with a reverse growth of 2.6%, it once again won the box office of 25.9 million US dollars.

The film was released for seven weeks and won the box office championship for seven consecutive weeks, accumulating a total of 224 million US dollars at the North American box office. Moreover, it is only more than 20 million US dollars away from the North American box office of "Men in Black", which was the highest box office in 1997.

There is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before "Titanic" overturned "Men in Black" and won the highest box office championship in North America in 1997.

"What is this?!"

Zucker looked at the newspaper, and the corner of his mouth rose and said, "What is the North American box office of "Men in Black" worth $250 million? The big boat will hit the North American box office of $600 million in the future!"

Except for "Avengers 4" and "Star Wars 9", two big IP movies favored by fans, that is, another movie "Avatar" directed by Cameron, as of 2020, there is no North American box office for a movie. Over $600 million!

"Harry Potter" series, only North American box office, not enough to watch?

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "The Fast and the Furious" series, "Twilight" series, "The Hunger Games" series, only single-film North American box office, and no one has a box office of more than 600 million US dollars in North America.

Just when the whole America was chanting "big ship", the film was also released in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Asia and other countries.

In the face of the release of "Titanic", the local film companies in these regions and countries did not care about it at the beginning of the period, and should not worry about it for a while.

However!

When the film was released in just one day, it broke the highest daily box office record in the region and the country, and when it was far higher than these figures, these local filmmakers and filmmakers were completely stunned!

"Can a movie be made like this?!"

I have to say that many filmmakers were shocked by the circle.

If nothing else, in the Hong Kong area, many film company bosses and stars were shocked by the big scenes of the film when they watched "Titanic".

Local "hand-workshop"-style film industry;

"Heavy Industry"-style movies with big Hollywood investment;

The difference between the two is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Some filmmakers with a pessimistic attitude even shouted: "Our film is over, and our film market will be dominated by Hollywood films in the future!"

" "The second is sent.

Due to work problems, the minister adjusted the daytime update to the evening update several times, but the minister never broke his promise, which is correct, so the minister is here to ask for a wave of support, no problem. Ha ha!
