Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On Halloween, many people in North America are scared out of their wits.  In its third week in North America, "Van Helsing" still maintained its release scale of 3,500 theaters, but the sharp drop in attendance has already announced that it can withdraw from the competition for the top spot on the weekend.  After all, it is an entertainment movie and cannot achieve the durability of long-term attention.  But this is already a victory for "Van Helsing".  In the first two weeks, the revenue was US$12.5 billion in North America and US$2.5 billion globally. If this is considered a failure, there will be no successful movies in Hollywood.  Time continues to fly by after Halloween. When October 31st to November 6th become a thing of the past, according to data from the box office statistics company, the box office champion this weekend belongs to the Disney cartoon comedy "The Incredibles".  The movie grossed $70.67 million in the three days starting Friday.  Almost replicating the momentum of "Van Helsing", it is unstoppable and dominates the North American box office rankings during this Halloween period.  ??According to the consistent long-term blockbuster performance of Disney movies, this movie will undoubtedly continue to go strong and eventually achieve great success.  This is also Disney's counterattack against Pixar, who have always been the overlord of animated films.  Even if they fail to adapt to 3D fully computer-drawn movies at first, as long as they are given enough time, they will always return to the throne.  But the conflict between Disney and Pixar is getting bigger and bigger. Jobs is preparing to return to Apple, but he is reluctant to let go of Pixar.  Disney is no longer satisfied with sharing 50% of profits with Pixar. There are reports that Disney is planning to complete the acquisition of Pixar.  If this acquisition plan is completed, it will further consolidate Disney¡¯s dominance in the animation industry.  Of course, other animation companies such as DreamWorks, Blue Sky, etc. do not have that strength in comparison.  As for matrix animation.  It is still in the long production period.  No one can guess what will happen to them in the end.  In view of Disney¡¯s super performance.  "Van Helsing" finally relinquished its top spot, taking second place with $18.5 million this weekend.  It grossed a total of $25.9 million in seven days a week.  In this way, in the third week of the film's North American release, the cumulative box office total was US$150.9 million.  Overseas revenue continued to reach US$53.8 million this week, with Japan becoming the largest international market and global box office exceeding US$32.5 billion.  After Matrix announced the latest box office data that day, the stock experienced another surge, soaring by 186%.  Wall Street was amazed.  I don¡¯t know how this popularity rose. It was said to be a movie, but it would not exceed an increase of nearly 50%.  Even Chen Tian was tempted and couldn't help but take advantage of the high price to sell some stocks to cash out.  Ranking third on the top12 list is "The King of Soul" with $13.8 million, followed by "The Grudge" with a narrow gap of $13.5 million.  "Saw", which had a great performance last week, also performed well this week. The box office of 11.4 million US dollars was the best return for this dark horse movie.  But the audience for horror movies is limited after all, and there are many people like Chen Tiandu who don¡¯t like to watch blood-based horror movies.  The reason why "The Sixth Sense" sold so well was not because of its horror elements, but because of its clever ending, which highlighted family affection and getting along with each other.  It is a genre that can be watched by all ages.  Pure plasma tablets are naturally incomparable.  Professional organizations predict that the film may ultimately earn 55 to 60 million US dollars.  Compared with the cost of 3 million, this is also a huge return.  This is a dark horse performance.  It also allowed James Wan to start to make a name for himself in Hollywood.  ??Chen Tiandu was close to the water and was the first to invite James Wan.  In the future, if there is a movie subject, you can come to Matrix at any time and give him enough freedom.  James Wen still had a good impression of him and agreed wholeheartedly.  But there is no need to consider the sequel to "Saw". Lionsgate will never let this "ATM" go.  After the release week of November 7th to 13th, Chen Tiandu and Kate have returned to China. They will spend their children¡¯s first Thanksgiving in China.  ¡°The North American box office market is still turbulent.  Last week¡¯s top box office cartoon comedy ¡°The Incredibles¡± continues its unstoppable momentum to dominate the North American box office charts this week.  This week's box office revenue is only down 28 percent from the first week, and according to estimates, it will continue to maintain this trend in the holiday season ahead.  ¡°The Incredibles¡± grossed $51 million in the three days starting Friday, according to a Walt Disney Company spokesperson.  This brings the film's total revenue in the 10 days since its release to $144.1 million.  This result has exceeded the previous ten-day box office of "Van Helsing" of US$12.5 billion, and is likely to occupy a place in the top ten North American annual box office this year.  So far, the annual box office champion in North America still belongs to DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek 2", which topped the 400 million threshold with a box office of 44.1 billion US dollars. Even the sequel to the first "Spider-Man" that once broke 400 million US dollars failed to do so.  exceeded 400 million.  After Halloween comes the feelingChristmas, Christmas.  There is no "Lord of the Rings" series this Christmas, but Warner's evergreen "Harry Potter 3: The Prisoner of Azkaban" is still one of the most anticipated series sequels.  But now Warner is probably extremely looking forward to the miraculous and super big box office sales of this "Harry Potter 3", otherwise they will cry to death.  This matter has to start with the new movie "Polar Express" released this week.  Compared with the continued strong performance of "The Incredibles", another high-cost cartoon "Polar Express" that had high expectations was released for the first time this week and took the runner-up position. This result can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.  .  It was released this weekend and only took in $23.5 million at the box office.  The film has been in theaters since last Wednesday, with a total box office of $30.8 million.  Due to the large number of computer special shots involved, the production cost reached as high as 150 million U.S. dollars. In addition to the expenses spent by its distributor Warner Bros. on its early promotion, the total cost of the film has reached 270 million U.S. dollars.  million dollars.  30.8 million vs 270 million US dollars!  Just looking at the numbers makes people sweat for Warner.  Even the New York Times, Warner Group¡¯s own newspaper.  Also started teasing Warner Bros.  "It's bad luck. I've obviously caught the Matrix's express train, but why haven't I learned the Matrix's methods of making money." But now the movie is still in theaters, and no matter how miserable Warner Bros. is, it can only pretend to be fat.  Pinch your nose and drink the bitter water.  The president of Warner Bros. said: "'The Polar Express' will continue the usual pattern of Christmas family movies, and its theatrical release will continue until Thanksgiving and beyond. Our motivation is that we have the hope of upward, and this is our strategy."  "Polar Express" will also become a long-term source of income for us through TV screenings during the coming holidays" These words.  I guess only a fool would believe it.  "The Polar Express" is adapted from the award-winning fairy tale "The Arctic Express" written by Chris Vanallsburg in 1985.  It tells the story of a little boy, Klaus, who insists on believing in the existence of Santa Claus, even though his parents and friends around him tell him that Santa Claus does not exist.  Finally, Klaus's persistence paid off. One Christmas Eve, a huge Polar Express train stopped in front of his house. The conductor took him and his friends on the train to visit the legendary Christmas in the Pole.  elder.  The cast of this film is also very strong, with stars such as Tom Hanks and Daryl Shabala invited to help out in terms of voice actors.  This film combines animation and live-action, and Tom Hanks plays five roles in the film - the train conductor, the protagonist boy, the boy's father, the homeless man and Santa Claus.  And the director of this film is definitely a big name, the famous Robert Zemeckis.  He has collaborated with Tom Hanks in two other well-received blockbuster films, "Forrest Gump" and "Cast Away."  This defeat was tragic.  It was enough to make these two unable to hold their heads up for a while.  So.  Don't just look at the billions in global box office revenue of movies again and again. Risks always coexist with profits.  Which big company in Hollywood has never failed Ugh.  There really is.  Who told the matrix to be so conspicuous?  "Van Helsing" continued to earn $10.2 million at the box office this week, ranking fourth behind this week's new film "After Sunset" with $11.5 million.  The North American box office also reached a cumulative US$16.6 billion.  Overseas revenue this week was US$30 million, a much smaller decline than North America. Overseas revenue was US$20.5 billion, and the global box office total was US$37.2 billion.  It is estimated that the final box office should be between 4.5 billion and 500 million.  "Compared with the past big battles where Matrix frequently broke through 600 million, 700 million, or 1 billion, this time it can only be regarded as a small victory.  But it is also normal behavior.  After all, there are always a few supporters of monsters and vampires.  Even so, it is enough for the media to be amazed.  "Another commercial miracle of The Matrix." Yahoo Entertainment's weekly box office review reported the news that the global box office of "Van Helsing" is about to exceed 400 million US dollars: "This incredible success has lasted for seven years, and every year it is a big production with big profits.  No matter what the reputation is, they always have the upper hand at the box office. Even if this year's Matrix is ??only a year of low production, the audience will still not forget them. "The following is a list of so many productions since the establishment of Matrix.  Out of the movie investment and box office.  This string of super data is enough to make all companies in Hollywood drool.  It is estimated that this report is also one of the reasons for the sudden explosion of Matrix stocks.  Investors spare no effort based on their confidence in the long-term success of Matrix.?Investment Matrix Stocks.  Thinking about it this way, it¡¯s not surprising.  Who is to say that there is only one person in Hollywood who dares to say the pretense of "I have never failed" from time to time.  It has almost become Chen Tiandu¡¯s famous saying now.  In addition, "The Edge of Reason" starring Renee Zellweger was released in only 530 theaters this week (while "Polar Express" was released in 3,650 theaters), grossing $8.9 million at the box office  , ranking 5th in the box office rankings.  ¡°Perhaps even God can¡¯t stand Chen Tiandu¡¯s crazily amassing money and wants to create some obstacles.  On this day, Chen Tiandu, who thought nothing would happen this year, was sunbathing leisurely at home, thinking about where to go on vacation next.  A difficult phone call forced him to return to the United States.  (To be continued)
