In the fourth week of October, the North American Weekend Box Office Ranking, champion, "Gravity"; runner-up, "Funny Show 4"; third runner-up, "Captain Phillips"; fourth, "Black Gold Murder"; fifth, " Heavenly Delicacy 2". Among them, only the top three weekend box office broke the 10 million threshold.

It can be seen that the overall level of competition in the autumn file is clear at a glance, but it has increasingly focused all the attention of the entire market on the only work that has created a miracle against the sky.

Four weeks after the release, the cumulative box office of "Gravity" officially exceeded 450 million yuan, and without any suspense, it became the 19th film in North American film history that exceeded 400 million yuan in box office.

At the same time, "Gravity" also set a series of records, tying the results of "Avatar" in the same period, and the feat of cumulative box office exceeding 450 million yuan took 28 days, lagging behind "Vengeance". The seventeen days of the "League of Heroes" and the twenty-seven days of the "Dark Knight", the two works are temporarily tied for third in film history.

So far, from the first week to the fourth week of October, "Gravity" has exploded with incredible box office dominance, and almost completed a sturdy four consecutive championships with a sweeping attitude of sweeping thousands of troops, truly dominating. In the North American film market this fall, no single film can shake the powerful dominance.

But more important than the championship, people saw for the first time that the autumn stalls also have endless box office potential. Just like the holiday stalls after the appearance of "Twilight", the only problem now lies in: regularity. what exactly is it? How should the major film companies dig? Can "gravity" become a template?

In just four weeks after the release, the cumulative box office of "Gravity" in North America has ranked eighth in movie history, temporarily lagging behind "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers", "Edge of Tomorrow", and "Darkness". Seven works including "Knight", "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Threat of Ghosts" and "Star Wars".

Among the works currently ranked before "Gravity", the top three North American box office exceeded 600 million, and the top five North American box office exceeded 500 million.

Now, "Gravity" has broken through 500 million and there is basically no suspense. All experts have turned to 600 million, but the problem is that 600 million is definitely not so easy to reach.

The box office trend curves of "Avatar" and "Titanic" are both too special and too overwhelming. The former's box office decline for 11 consecutive weeks has been less than 30%, and most of the time, it is less than 2%. Ten; The latter won the box office champion for 15 consecutive weeks, and the weekend box office fell less than 20%. This performance is almost impossible to replicate, and there is really not much reference value.

Then, the only reference object is the "Avengers".

"Avengers" released in the summer of 2012, the box office has reached 523 million in the same period of four weeks, which is a full 73 million US dollars higher than "gravity", which is difficult to shorten. The gap also means that if "Gravity" wants to become the fourth 600 million box office work in North America, the next box office decline needs to have a better and even better performance.

Even worse than the current performance!

Otherwise, why does everyone say that 600 million box office is the highest threshold that is impossible to achieve? Otherwise, why have only three works reached such a height in the entire history?

Now "Gravity" will face even more arduous challenges-the bad news is that the autumn file is over and Halloween is coming, and a large number of competitive commercial movies are coming; the good news is that the holiday file has begun. Family audiences have emerged one after another, and the movie market has started to liven up again.

Of course, the premise is that the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is not overdrawn in advance due to the outbreak of "gravity", and they are still willing to enter the cinema.

In the first week of November, the market immediately began to pick up. A total of five films were officially premiered, and three of them had more than 3,000 theaters. They were "Ander's Game" and "Finally". "Las Vegas" and "Turkey Story".

"Turkey Story" is a well-known independent film production company relative to media theory. They have signed a joint cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures, which is a bit similar to the previous relationship between Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., relative media theory company also Like Thomas Tour, get funding from Wall Street, and then select the appropriate script project to invest in.

Relative media theory is well-known throughout Hollywood, because their boss, Ryan-Kavanaugh, is a mathematics genius. He firmly believes that everything can be found in mathematics and a logical thinking framework can be found in mathematics. The development trend of things, even artistic creation is no exception.

In 2012, there was a movie called "Penalty Kick", which was adapted from a real story and used big data to select baseball players and implement tactical strategies. It was successful in the league; Ryan Kavanaugh's investment method is It is called "penalty into gold", and investment is purely mathematically. In fact, it is later "big data", that is, Netfilx's method of making movies.

By the way, at that time, the "penalty kicks" movie project tried to seek investment relative to the media theory, but according to the analysis of the data model, Kavanaugh believed that sports movies would not make money, so he gave up "penalty kicks"-later this one. The movie was well received and well received, and even won an Oscar nomination.

However, Kavanaugh still used his own data model to achieve many successful investment cases, such as "The Bourne Shadow 4", "Bridesmaids", "Social Network", "Dragon and Tiger Youth Team", "Les Miserables", etc. In 2011, Relative Media Theory became the ninth largest film company in North America by annual revenue.

In fact, this data model framework of "penalty kicks" is derived from Wall Street's investment model, which was later proved to be unsuitable for film creation. Since 2013, relative media theory’s bad films have been one after another. Declared bankruptcy in 2015.

This time "Turkey Mobilization" is the investment project that Cavano chose after big data calculations. He invested 55 million yuan and invited Irving Wilson, Woody Harrison, and Amy-Poehler (Amy-Poehler). ) When a lot of big-name actors come to dub, even the schedule is calculated based on the data model.

It can't be said to be the eye-catching, but the box office trend of "Turkey Story" has indeed attracted a lot of attention.

"The Last Las Vegas" is a comedy film produced by a film studio under the CBS Group. Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas and other old actors joined the film, and the director On the other hand, Jon-Turteltaub, who has sold works such as "National Treasure", "Love at Second Sight", and "Magic's Apprentice", has an investment cost of 28 million.

Who knows, maybe comedy movies can blaze a trail in the holiday season and achieve box office breakthroughs? The protagonists are all old actors who are very popular with the audience, and they can indeed occupy a lot of advantages during the holiday season.

In addition, "Ander's Game" is the most important work.

With the popularity of movie adaptations from youth novels such as "Harry Potter", "Twilight", and "The Hunger Games", countless classic works have also entered the attention of major film companies. Summit Entertainment They are among the experts. They unearthed the 1985 classic "Ander's Game".

This novel was created by Orson-Card, a contemporary American science fiction writer. He is the only person in American history to win the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for Best Performance for two consecutive years. The author of the film, and for him to achieve this feat is "Ander's Game" and its sequel "Advocate of the Dead".

In fact, after the publication of "Ander's Game", major film companies have been trying to adapt, and the original author Orson has repeatedly revised the script, but it was not until the intervention of Summit Entertainment that this officially opened the film to the big screen. Journey. In the preparatory stage, because of the broad readership of the original novel in North America, the film is highly anticipated. Many professional media in the industry even believe that this work has the ability to replicate the miracle of "Harry Potter".

It is precisely because of such confidence that Summit Entertainment spared no expense, costing a full 110 million yuan, and invited South African director Gabin-Hood (Gabin-Hood) to direct the tube. He filmed the "gang thug" in 2005. Won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Golden Man, and then filmed "Wolverine" in 2009, which can be described as a lot of recognition in the industry.

The cast is also looking forward to, Asa-Butterfield (Asa-Butterfield) teamed up with Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Breslin to take the lead——

Hailey made a blockbuster with "Thunder from the Earth", Abigail relied on "Little Sunshine Girl" to successfully break a path, and Asha had a wonderful performance in "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" in 2008, and then led the starring role. "Hugo" in 2011.

In terms of old drama, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, and Viola Davis Qiqi joined to play the role of the movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that this work is highly anticipated even if it is placed in the summer file~www.novelhall.com~ But Summit Entertainment still chose the holiday file that it is most familiar with-the "Twilight City" of Summit Entertainment that year. It was here that they started, and now they still hope that "Ender's Game" can create miracles like "Harry Potter" and "The Hunger Games".

Of the three works, one was selected arbitrarily. From the analysis of paper strength, it seems that they all have the ability to move the box office during the holiday season. The intensity of competition in the Halloween season immediately rises. This also means that "the center of the earth" The real challenge of gravitation has finally come.

600 million in North America?

It depends on whether the next competitor agrees!

In the face of the powerful impact of the three works, the box office trend of "Gravity" is exceptionally stable. Even in the Halloween period, this movie has still become the first choice for many family viewing crazes. Should this be regarded as unexpected? Or is it reasonable? But no one can make it clear now.

In the fifth week of the show, the box office curve of "Gravity" got a Halloween bonus, and it went out of a beautiful recovery curve. The box office drop in the three days of the weekend was successfully controlled at 28%, and finally won 27. Millions, at the same time, the cumulative box office has reached 490 million, which is only one step away from 500 million!
