When Simon returned from San Francisco, another box office week ended in January 1997.
During the week from January 10 to January 16, the local box office of wonder woman 2 officially broke the $400 million mark, becoming the only blockbuster with a local box office breaking $400 million in 1996.
Specific aspects.
Last year's Christmas version of "Thunderclap baby", after surpassing "game of the brave" last week, still took the first place at the box office in a single week with a good 29% decline in the fourth week of its release, and received another $27.16 million. The cumulative box office in four weeks is $197.19 million, breaking 200 million.
From the first week with a strong start of more than $70 million on December 20 last year to the three weeks of its release last week, the domestic box office of "game of the brave" surpassed the expectations of two major producers, Danielle Reese and MGM.
At present, the blockbuster here is only the local box office, which is expected to exceed 250 million US dollars, which is enough to recover the total production and publicity investment of only 105 million US dollars and make profits. Not only that, but most importantly, the successive success of 007's ghost party and thunderbolt baby in the past year has made an amazing start to the planned "secret agent movie universe".
After "Thunderbolt baby", the game of the brave barely held the second place in the list.
However, compared with the $27.16 million of "Thunderbolt baby", the weekly box office of "game of the brave" has fallen to $13.72 million, which is the reason why this week's decline has narrowed again compared with last week's sharp drop.
In five weeks, the cumulative box office of "game of the brave" was $169.71 million, which is about $30 million away from the threshold of $200 million. Although it's not a big problem to collect another $30 million in the future, the domestic box office of the film will probably stop at more than 200 million, probably not even more than 210 million.
Fortunately, according to the production of 82 million US dollars and the publicity of 35 million US dollars, the domestic box office is 200 million US dollars, which is enough to recover the cost and achieve a small profit with the proportion of more than 60% in the cinema. However, compared with the prediction of the CG blockbuster before its release, the industry generally prefers this CG blockbuster to the traditional "Thunderbolt baby". The reversal of reality makes it hard for Warner, who is responsible for the distribution, to be too happy.
Then came the third place on the list, mind catcher, which was almost on par with game of the brave.
Counting from the point of view, the sixth week of the release of "the catcher of the soul", with the biggest 27% one week box office drop since the start of the painting, closed at $12.65 million, only a little more than $1 million from the top "game of the brave".
Compared with other super blockbusters that succeed and fail, the black horse drama directed by Gus Van Sant and starred by Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale, whose production cost is only 10 million US dollars, has successfully broken through 100 million US dollars this week, reaching 1071.7 billion US dollars.
This year's Golden Globes are coming this Sunday, January 19.
"Mind catcher" as a hot award season, stimulated by a series of awards until the Oscars, the box office curve must be very good, conservatively estimated that the domestic box office can reach more than 150 million US dollars.
This biographical film, which was released on December 20 last year, made the producer paramount regret that he wanted to hit the wall.
In order to avoid the competition at the end of the year, paramount arranged a two-week screening for the film from December 20, across Christmas and new year's day, completely avoiding the fierce competition at the end of the year, and started large-scale production on January 3. As a result, the box office trend of the film proved that Paramount's distribution strategy was seriously wrong.
Let's start from the beginning.
In the first week of screening, only relying on 22 open screens, "Mrs. peron" won 1.02 million US dollars at the box office, with an average of 46000 US dollars, which is already a very outstanding achievement. But then, in the second week of the film, that is, the new year's day week from December 27 to January 2, with the same 22 screens, the number of film galleries did not decrease, but jumped to US $77000, with a single week income of US $1.69 million.What this means is self-evident.
Even though the film's reputation in the media is only barely passing, the audiences in New York and Los Angeles who started the screening obviously like the film, otherwise there would not be such a super high-rise cinema that was crowded out in the next week's screening.
Unfortunately, paramount didn't even take the last chance.
According to the operation idea of award-winning films, on January 3, "Mrs. peron" still only got 704 screens. Finally, from January 3 to January 9, the first week of large-scale painting, the film's box office revenue was only 11.3 million US dollars, in sharp contrast to the average of 16000 US dollars.
In the past week, paramount finally responded and quickly increased the screening scale to 1319 yuan.
Unfortunately, the best opportunities are all missed.
The reason why the popular schedule is a popular one is that enough audiences have the time and motivation to go to the cinema to watch movies. On the contrary, the unpopular schedule is just the opposite. This is not only because the holidays are over and people start to work again, but also because people think that it is no longer a good time to watch movies psychologically.
In a word, Mrs. peron, which lacks enough audience base and still has to compete with other films with momentum, only has more than 1300 screens after all. In the box office week from January 10 to January 16, it just managed to achieve a slight decline, even less than one percentage point, earning $11.46 million.
In the four weeks since the screening, the cumulative box office of "Mrs. peron" was $25.47 million.
It can be imagined that if paramount can be bold and start painting on a large scale in just one week, and grab a popular new year's day week, the box office and trend of "Mrs. Baron" will be greatly changed.
Even if paramount gives up point screening and starts painting on a large scale at the end of the year, or adopts the same distribution idea as mind catcher, it will still be squeezed by a large number of blockbusters, but after all, it is a biographical song and dance film that does not conflict with other film themes. It can still get considerable living space, and perhaps now the box office has exceeded 50 million US dollars Maybe.
It's a pity that there are too many "ifs" in the world, and there will always be only one "result".
In the face of the media's comments, the upright queen couldn't hold back for a moment, saying that when she first showed Simon the movie, her good friends said they were optimistic about it. As a result, the conservative paramount messed it up. The queen moved out all her "good friends", and paramount, who had made a mistake, could only bear it and could not refute it.
And then there's wonder woman 2.
Although it won the fifth place in the list, it was ultimately impacted by the game of the brave, baby thunderbolt and even the mind catcher. The box office of wonder woman 2 has only $6.98 million per week. Although the cumulative box office officially broke through the 400 million mark, reaching $405.71 million, only $10 million is left in the follow-up period. The initial The expectation of 500 million local residents is completely out of the question.
In addition to the top five, it is worth mentioning the sixth "British patient".
Unlike "Mrs. peron", which is more suitable for commercial production, and with the same emphasis of the award season, this literary film with a small number of subjects is not suitable for large-scale screening at all. In the fifth week, it still has only 636 screens. In the past week, it earned 4.65 million US dollars and grossed 18.17 million US dollars.
With the arrival of the Golden Globes, MGM only increased the number of screens to 1103 this week, and will keep it until the Oscar in March. During this period, audiences are constantly stimulated to enter through various media awards and trade union awards. The ultimate goal is more than 50 million US dollars, which is enough to recover the production cost of 27 million US dollars.
If the final success of the Oscar winner, overseas distribution prospects will be even more bright.
In the past, the British patient relied on this kind of stable long-term distribution strategy. The domestic box office was close to US $80 million, and the overseas box office was even better. Because the Oscars in the 1990s were very rich in gold and appeal, and the audiences in other countries also bought them. Finally, the overseas box office exceeded 150 million, and the global box office totaled US $230 million. All parties of production and distribution made a lot of money The bowl is full.
