Chapter 1049

It has been 20 days since the film was officially released in the mainland, and the box office has reached 51.6 billion, and the overseas box office has also reached 4.25 million US dollars.

Both the domestic box office and overseas box office were 10% better than expected.

According to the company's previous forecast, the domestic box office will exceed 50 billion, which should take about 25 days, and the overseas box office will take one month. Now it has been completed ahead of schedule, indicating that the follow-up will hit a higher box office.

But tomorrow "Mission: Impossible 5" will be released in mainland China, and "Descendants of Yanhuang" will also be released in North America. The two sides will stagger the screenings in their respective home courts, with a gap of more than ten days, so as not to fight each other, and both sides will lose too much.

But now it's time to compete head-on in all global markets.

In addition to the mainland and North American markets, other markets have confronted each other. Both sides have their own winners and losers. In the Asian region and other countries, Zhou Xia’s film won a small victory. In the European market, Tom Cruise’s Hollywood blockbuster won a small victory.

But the real roots of both sides are in their respective home courts.

The box office of "Descendants of Yan and Yellow" in the mainland is nearly double that of overseas, which shows the problem. The same is true for "Mission: Impossible 5". The box office in the North American market accounts for half of the global box office.

However, in terms of total box office, because "Descendants of Yan Huang" was released earlier, the box office is much higher. The mainland market alone surpassed the global box office of "Mission: Impossible 5" by more than six times.

So now "Mission: Impossible 5" is looking forward to the mainland market. Although I didn't expect it to be as popular as Zhou Xia's movie, but I really want to surpass "Fast and Furious", which created many Hollywood movie records in the mainland in April. [-]".

Zhou Xia's thoughts are almost the same. Even if he can't surpass "Mission: Impossible [-]" in the North American market, he hopes to surpass the record of his previous movies.

His "New Detective" grossed over [-] million US dollars at the North American box office, and "Legend of Sword and Part" both exceeded [-] million US dollars.

It would be embarrassing if this military action movie is worse than these three.

At present, the entire North American film market is dominated by Tom Cruise's latest action blockbuster "Mission: Impossible 5: The Mysterious Nation". North American professional film critics like it.

Now that it has been released on a large scale in theaters, the film still stands up to the harsh scrutiny of the critics. The North American film critics’ praise rate collected on the Rotten Tomatoes website still reaches 93%, making it tied for the fourth film in the history of this series of films. If it is the best sequel, it means that this film has a strong stamina and will trigger a continuous movie-watching boom in North America.

Last Thursday, the midnight screening took back US$400 million, and the scale of its release on Friday reached 3956 theaters.

This is also the highest-grossing series of movies on the day of its premiere since "Mission: Impossible 2".

It is worth mentioning that "Mission: Impossible 5" won a total of 5600 US dollars in the first three days, and won the North American weekly box office management. In particular, the movie's box office explosive power is quite balanced, especially the box office on Sunday, which is actually the same as that on Friday. Compared with the stock price, it only fell slightly by 2%, which shows its great power.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with the promotion of the fifth part, last week Paramount also announced the shooting plan of the sixth part. Cruise is naturally determined to continue starring in this sequel.

This news also made the film's release more topical. In addition, the general audience on the CinemaScores website gave the film an overall rating of A-, which shows how good the film's reputation is.

So even if the two parties separated by half a month, it would be very bad for Zhou Xia's new movie.

Of course, the first-week box office results of "Mission: Impossible [-]" still can't compare with Zhou Xia's film's box office of [-] million US dollars in the first two days in the mainland market. Compared with the giant system.

But the film's reputation is so good that no one in the industry is worried about its box office potential, and at the same time they are more optimistic about competing with Zhou Xia's new film.

In addition, with the help of Cruise's global popularity for 30 years, "Mission: Impossible 5" also performed well in overseas markets.

In the overseas markets where it is simultaneously released globally, this movie is only lower than "Descendants of Yanhuang". As of last Sunday, the overseas box office reached 6500 million US dollars, and the cumulative global box office in the first three days exceeded 1.21 million US dollars.

Compared with the production cost of 1 million US dollars, such a large-scale film has a stable start, and Paramount has nothing to worry about, so it is well prepared to deal with the possible impact of Zhou Xia's film being released in North America.

Zhou Xia is also very clear about this, this is the same reason as they are preparing for "Mission: Impossible [-]" in the mainland market.

Although he knows that "Mission: Impossible 20" has a box office of nearly [-] million US dollars in the global market, but only [-] million soft sister coins in the mainland market, which is still different from the [-] billion soft sister coins of "Fast and Furious [-]" that they want to surpass. It's a big distance, but you still have to deal with it.

After all, sometimes movie viewing trends have a lot to do with publicity. If you don't make a good response and make "Mission: Impossible [-]" a big hit, it will naturally take a lot of box office from "Descendants of Yan and Huang".

Now "Descendants of Yanhuang" has been released for 20 days, with such a high box office, [-]% of the country's regular moviegoers have basically seen it.

The rest are passer-by fans and repeat movie viewers. Only by occupying the theater's auditorium can the follow-up box office be obtained, otherwise it is likely to stop here.

After all, there are many companies in China who want to take advantage of Xia Hua's strength. As long as "Mission: Impossible [-]" performs well, it will have many supporters.

This is more or less the case.

Fortunately, in the North American market, apart from "Mission: Impossible [-]", other films are not too much of a threat.

The comedy "Holiday Adventures" of Warner Films, under Tom Cruise's light, did not win the victory of survival. In addition, the film's North American film critics' favorable rate was only 23%, and it has been regarded as a film. An out-and-out bad movie.

Although the box office of this hit film in North America barely ranked second at the weekend box office, it got off to a shabby start. After the film was released, it has not been recognized by film critics or applauded by the audience. The box office on the first day was only 450 million US dollars. Knife, the money-absorbing capacity of a single screen is only 1300 US dollars, which is only 5/1 of "Mission: Impossible 5".

After its debut in 3411 theaters across the United States, the current performance, with the release of "Descendants of Yan and Huang", the film schedule of this film will soon be squeezed even lower.

The other is Disney's superhero blockbuster "Ant-Man," which ranked third at the box office last week.

This is also a big production supported by word of mouth. It has been the third week since the film was released, and it still entered the top three with a box office of 1261 million US dollars. It also recovered 1.59 million US dollars in overseas markets. The current global total revenue has reached 2.91 million US dollars. .

This is already a very good result for the first film in the series without a big star, so Disney is very satisfied.

But this movie has been released for three weeks. Even if it has a good reputation, it can only stabilize the basic market and can't take up the withdrawal of more other movies.

The fourth place in the weekly box office is Universal Films' phenomenal animated blockbuster "Minions with Big Eyes". Last week, it lost 491 theaters, but the film is still strong, and it still earned 1300 million US dollars in the box office last week.

In addition to these few films, there is one more film that needs attention.

That is the superhero blockbuster "Fantastic Four 2015", which is also released this week like "Descendants of Yanhuang".
