This year’s Halloween schedule failed to explode the expected energy. The box office performance of many works can only be said to be mediocre, let alone phenomenal works. But one week after the end of Halloween, the "Big Hero 6" broke out. Super box office, so the major news media naturally produced associations:

Could it be that Halloween’s downturn is accumulating energy? Then all the young audiences walked into the cinema just to watch "Big Hero 6"?

This is really ridiculous: the target audience who likes Halloween horror movies and the target audience targeted by animated movies are two groups. Very few horror movie lovers will give up the Halloween party and choose an animated movie. , This is simply a fantasy.

But... readers like this kind of story, and reporters like this kind of gossip, because it is dramatic and topical.

To put it simply, it is actually the "god-making movement". Who doesn't like those legendary stories that are mysterious and mysterious? Especially when I became a part of it, it was even more interesting-although it seems incredible to create a **** through an animated film.

In any case, with the topic, focus, and results, the box office prospects of the "Big Marine Corps" are bright, and then the battle for the Thanksgiving Day schedule begins, and the real test is coming.

In the second week of November, "Dumb and Agua 2" was officially released.

This sequel movie, which has returned after a lapse of 20 years, although many people are worried about the possibility of a dog's tail, but the feelings of youth and the mood of nostalgia for the classics have made countless middle-aged audiences excited. The memories of renting videotapes and watching online broadcasts have all become the topic of discussion of "I want to be the year", and the combination of Kim Carey and Jeff Daniels is even more interesting.

Undoubtedly, this is the blockbuster work of the Thanksgiving holiday schedule-including "Big Hero 6" and "Interstellar" and other works do not want to face this low-cost comedy, the power of feelings must not be underestimated, maybe It may be a little difficult to create a destructive box office; but when the production cost is only 40 million, it is not a problem to make a small profit with feelings, as Universal Pictures has always been "using small and large". style.

The actual situation is the same, slightly lower than expected, but still within the deviation range, even the terrible, muddled word-of-mouth data is no exception.

Media review, 36 points; Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index, 30%; Mass Media Score, 4.3; Popcorn Index, 35%.

After the dog's tail continues, worries have become reality!

Despite this, "Dumb and Agua 2" still broke out 36 million dollars in weekend box office data. Compared with the bad reputation of word of mouth, such a result is really unexpected, and it can even be called a surprise. , This also proves once again that feelings are the universal power for watching movies.

Compared with the work itself, the driving force brought by those youthful memories, those young past events, and those surging emotions are all above imagination. Just like the phrase "I owe Jin-Kerry a movie ticket", letting go of worries about the quality of the work for the time being, many viewers are willing to take the initiative to walk into the movie theater and offer a movie ticket for their memories.

However, the US$36 million premiere box office data is still lower than expected. The industry forecasts that the number should fluctuate between 45 million and 50 million, while the actual number has fallen by about 25%. The negative impact of the company is clearly visible, and after all, it did not break out.

For Universal Pictures, such a result is barely acceptable. Whether the production cost of 40 million US dollars can be successfully recovered and profitable, it needs to look at the follow-up box office curve; moreover, there will be overseas market releases, which may be realized. Profitability-Although full of uncertainty, at least the box office at the premiere weekend did not directly collapse, which also means that the battle will continue.

But for the box office market, "Dumb and Agua 2" lacks enough pressure to create more waves in the box office competition. This also means that the weekend box office rankings lack suspense and the overall performance It may also be lower than expected.

In other words, "Dumb and Agua 2" failed to effectively impact the "Big Marine Corps", and the expected fierce collision and anxious duel did not appear.

The "Big Marine Corps" easily surrendered 38% of the third week's drop, and won a $50 million weekend box office. It did not encounter too many impacts and challenges, and successfully defeated the high-profile topic. The work "Dumb and Agua 2" successfully won the North American box office champion in the second week of November and won two consecutive championships.

It is worth mentioning that "Frozen"'s decline data over the same period is as high as 53%, which is definitely an abnormal data for animated movies.

Generally speaking, a decrease of less than 50% is considered normal, and a decrease of less than 40% is very good.

According to the word-of-mouth of "Frozen", the decline in the third week was indeed slightly more than expected. If we follow the conventional route, the final North American box office will be about 200 million US dollars. "How to Train Your Dragon", "Monster Electric Company", etc. It’s all the same; but then there was an unexpected situation. The popularity of the song "Let it go" completely detonated the social network, and it spread out like a virus. The topic became more heated and the box office decline gradually narrowed. In the end, it was flabbergasted. The counterattack produced 400 million North American data and created a rare topic frenzy on a global scale.

Copying the miraculous development curve of "Frozen" is definitely not that easy, because the phenomenal popularity of "let go" is also something that can be met but not desired; now, "Big Hero 6" is copying that magical curve— -At least try to copy.

It's not enough just to rely on Dabai's cuteness, just like the toothless boy in "How to Train Your Dragon", it can create a topic but it is not enough to create a phenomenon.

But relying on the collision between Dabai and Lanli, that is another matter. The cuteness of the former and the popularity of the latter have created an incredible chemical reaction, and it is a four-frame comic on the social network. It spread, and finally formed an effect similar to a sitcom.

Disney did not anticipate the popularity of "let go", nor did it anticipate the spread of "four-frame comics".

As a result, the "Big Marine Corps" also ushered in a full-scale outbreak, and the 38% drop in the box office in the third week of the week is definitely an anti-sky data——

Because the movie’s box office for the next week’s weekend was 82 million, ranking among the top ten in November’s history; while the box office data for the premiere weekend was higher than that of the nine works of "Big Hero 6", and the next week’s decline was all more than one hundred. Forty-five percent, the only exception is the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 2001, which was only 36%. Now the "Big Marine Corps" has also joined the ranks, in the entire history. He left his name in it.

At the same time, the box office on weekdays in the middle of the week is also particularly gratifying. The cumulative box office of the three weeks of "Big Hero 6" has risen to 188 million U.S. dollars in one go!

With such data, it is only one step away from 200 million. It is now certain that the total North American box office of the film will definitely enter the 300 million club, but whether it can challenge the 400 million club, it still needs to wait for the Christmas holiday bonus. In addition, Then there are "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 1 and "The Hobbit 3" successively released. The market space is bound to be severely compressed, variables still exist, and the subsequent box office curve will determine the ending of the movie.

If you can own a 400 million North American animation work for two consecutive years, then the animation department of Disney's headquarters will really rise!

In the second week of November, in the North American weekend box office rankings, "Big Hero 6" won the championship again, and "Dumb and Agua 2" ranked runner-up, but the overall data of other works couldn't compete.

The small-cost music love movie "Beyond the Lights" accidentally broke a **** road, occupying the third place with a weekend box office of 6.2 million US dollars; the "disappearing lover" who realized a full-scale explosion by word of mouth still stayed on the list. Single fourth place.

From the rise of Sundance at the beginning of the year to the harvest of countless word-of-mouth at the end of the year, "Sage Vincent" can be called a model of low-cost independent films. It surpassed the annual focus work "Furious", which was released a week later than himself, occupying the fifth place and accumulating The box office has also reached 33 million, and has now become an important seed player in the awards season.

Directed by David Ayer, Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman and Shia LaBeouf starred in the World War II movie "Furious". It was raging but mediocre. It didn't make it to the street. However, it has accumulated seven box office in five weeks. Fifteen million, compared to the production cost of 70 million, is indeed unsatisfactory, ranking sixth this week.

It is very similar to the state of the previous week~www.novelhall.com~Super Hero Marines" is still the dominant one. After all, "Dumb and Agua 2" could not shake the position of the former. The passenger flow of the entire market is still concentrated here. This is an animated movie, but this situation was not brewed for the "Big Hero Marines", it was actually for the "Hunger Games 3" to clear the market, and now, this annual expectation is about to debut.

If it is said that among the new generation of male actors, Lan Li is the only one in the world; then among the new generation of actresses, Jennifer Lawrence is a well-deserved leader, first relying on "The Hunger Games" and "X-Men". The series seized the box office market, and then relied on the "happiness line behind the dark cloud" to take off the Oscar statuette. The overall momentum was not weaker than that of Lan Li, and even in terms of popularity, it still concealed the first line of Lan Li:

Because Jennifer uses social networks, and because Jennifer signed Dior’s exclusive endorsement, her commercial value has been further pushed to the peak. Compared with Lan Li, who is devoted to performance, she is undoubtedly more well-known and more fashionable and novel. Even the commercial box office data has seized some advantage.

Now, Jennifer is leading the "Hunger Games" finale strong.
