Chapter 895 record list
Before the opening of the 2006 summer file, and even in the earlier awards season, many eyes have been locked on the competition of this year’s summer file. exert pressure. Such a situation sounds unbelievable—the three top film companies in Hollywood join forces to deal with a small company that has only been established for three years? What is the virtue and ability of this small company to attract so much attention? This sounds more like a joke, and what’s even more absurd is that the three major companies seem to have nothing to do with this small company. Even absurd novels don’t write like this.
But the fact is that the three major studios are not targeting Chaos Films, nor even Lance, but their own interests. They need Lance to become a **** obediently, to earn more benefits for them, and to dig for them. More market potential. They could completely destroy Lance. Hollywood has witnessed the disappearance of countless geniuses, and they don’t care about adding another one, but they still hesitated after all, choosing to strike and control, trying to control this rebel with unlimited potential and talent in their hands.
Because all the previous signs have shown that Lance is a smart person who understands current affairs, and that “the day after tomorrow” can advance and retreat freely in the process of cooperating with 20th Century Fox. In the negotiations of a series of projects such as Superman Returns and 007, Lance has mastered the core principles of the “deal”. It seems that Lance is more like James Cameron, a rebellious genius who knows how to bow his head. It’s not Paul Thomas Anderson’s arrogance and self-indulgence.
So, things have developed step by step to the present. When “Fury Road” came out with a new record, Lance’s rising momentum was already unstoppable. The current Lance is no longer an object that large studios can manipulate at will. To be more precise, the current Lance has broken away from the status of a chess piece and has the ability to participate in the chess game. Very limited, but the identity change from chess piece to chess player is an unshakable qualitative change, just like the current Steven Spielberg.
In terms of commercial value, even if it is not Warner Bros., there will be other film companies eager to cooperate with Lance. Universal Pictures and Paramount have always been eager to move, and even other small and medium-sized film companies are willing to extend an olive branch. What’s more, Chaos Pictures has always maintained a profitable state, and they themselves will only grow stronger and stronger; in terms of artistic value, they have won three consecutive Oscars, especially in the past awards season, Lance occupied the moral high ground, coupled with The strong blockade of Warner Brothers, under the influence of public opinion, has actually evolved into a confrontation between individual practitioners in the film industry and the company system, which has made Lance win the hearts of the people among actors, directors, and screenwriters; in terms of popularity value, So far, all of Lance’s works have remained undefeated at the box office, and each of his works has achieved profitability, whether it is tricky and demanding professional audiences or ordinary audiences who value entertainment, the “Lancelot-Strello” signboard The appeal has been difficult to shake.
After looking at the “Fury Road” premiere, a series of record lists, you can have an intuitive feeling.
Under the cover of the top box office opening weekend in film history, “Fury Road” swept through the army and collected a series of records, single-day box office records, opening single-day box office records, Friday box office records, Saturday box office records Record, Sunday box office record, three-day box office increase record, July premiere record, summer file premiere record, large-scale single-house box office record, fastest breakthrough 100 million box office record, fastest breakthrough 150 million Box office records… Also, R-rated movie debut box office records.
People almost forget that “Fury Road” is an R-rated movie, which is regarded by the market as a “box office hindered” R-rated movie.
Last year, the box office of “Sin City” premiered as high as 49 million, which made the whole of North America take a breath. Because of the limitations of R-rated movies, it is doomed that the film will be difficult to achieve good results, but “Sin City” It still broke this law and created a new record for the premiere box office in April.
Prior to this, the box office record for the premiere of an R-rated film in North American film history was held by “The Matrix 2”. The expected value of the work is very high, but unfortunately, the quality of the finished product is far below expectations, which makes the film’s subsequent box office drop far beyond expectations. In the end, the cumulative box office in North America only settled at 280 million, and failed to break through 300 million. Not to mention 400 million.
After “Matrix 2”, the 83 million of “Passion of the Christ” is still powerful, but compared with other ratings, the restrictions of R-rated movies are very obvious-R-rated movie premiere box office breakthrough There are only four films with 50 million yuan, even “Sin City” has not been able to reach this height, but there are 52 films with a rating of PG-13 or higher that have reached this level, more precisely In other words, there are five films with a PG-13 opening score exceeding 100 million, and “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” is PG-13.
It can be seen that the gap in ratings is almost an insurmountable gap, which fully restricts the outbreak of the box office. But now, history has undergone earth-shaking changes. As a cult movie, “Fury Road” has a weird style that is too eye-catching, almost taking away the attention of all audiences, so that people temporarily forget that this work is Chaos Films’ fourth R-rated film in a row until now.
“Fury Road” completely broke the shackles of R-rated movies, wrote an unprecedented record in the history of movies, and increased the opening record of R-rated movies by 77% in one breath! With a ratio of more than two-thirds, this leap speed is really too fast, and the heart almost stops beating under the impact of the speed of light.
Whether it is a cult attribute or an R-rated frame, this is a devastating blow to any work, but “Fury Road” completely broke the theorem of inertia, created a record, and even wrote a myth.
According to statistics, the audience of “Fury Road” in the first weekend is mostly male, reaching 56%. Surprisingly, the female audience is not far behind, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for summer commercial movies Huge surprise, considering the core attributes of the film, there will only be a lot of female audiences in the next screenings, but whether the male audience will decrease, which will also determine the height of the film’s final box office; Forty-seven percent are under the age of 15, which is definitely a surprise, considering that the previous trilogy of “Mad Max” was fifteen years ago, and the age gap was once a big problem for people. One of the biggest concerns at the movie box office, but now it seems that Lance’s appeal has become the biggest motivation for young people to enter the movie theater.
All the data are showing that the “Fury Road” is crushed in all directions, all media reporters, all industry professionals, and all professional analysts are all slapped in the face, all predictions, all conjectures , All worries were overthrown, showing an unstoppable king’s arrival. Compared with “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, this really completely changed the existing model of Hollywood and ushered in a new era.
More importantly, the income of 161 million during the premiere weekend directly surpassed the 150 million investment of “Fury Road”. Before it had time to blink, Chaos Films successfully survived the bankruptcy crisis. Of course, there is still a long way to go for “Fury Road” to become profitable, and the high investment of 150 million also means that the film’s global box office must perform better than “The Day After Tomorrow” in order to be profitable, but short-term The book cost was wiped out in just three days. Such a domineering arrogance made the six major Hollywood studios unavoidably envious.
It also means that no matter what the follow-up box office of “Fury Road” does, or how much damage “Banshee” can do next week~www.readmtl.com~ The done deal, Lance is truly free from the big producers The blockade of the factory has occupied a place among the top power circles in Hollywood! An extremely important place!
Along the way, there are many thorns, dangers, and dangers, but Lance finally made it!
What’s more, judging from the current word-of-mouth and feedback information, the follow-up box office explosiveness of “Fury Road” is still worth looking forward to. This summer file war is not over yet, but all the hot spots have shifted from “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” to “Fury Road”. “The Road”—will the latter become Lance’s first North American work to break the 400 million mark?
Considering that after the premiere of “The Matrix 2” was a big hit, the follow-up box office curve was disappointing all the way down. In the end, the North American box office failed to make history. “Fury Road”, how will the performance be? Especially in the next week, there will be “Water Banshee” eyeing, the performance of the next week’s decline will determine the ultimate limit of “Fury Road”, which is definitely the focus of attention, because every step of “Fury Road” is The footprints of history, and every bystander is a witness of history.
When it came to the drop in the next week, everyone’s attention returned to “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, and people realized that the incredible results of “Fury Road” this week were under the attack of a series of works. Achieved, but this is just to add some aura to the legend of “Fury Road”. In the face of the 161 million opening record, any unbelievable seems to have become a matter of course.
There is no suspense, in the second week of July 2006, “Fury Road” completely crushed all competitors, and was crowned the champion of the North American weekend box office list!
But this is not good news for other works.
