Chapter 287 Foreign box office!A terrifying $[-] million!

When the results of "Source Code" are displayed in front of everyone, everyone feels a kind of shock that really rushed into their hearts, because it has been too long before there are no Chinese movies in the North American market. It's a good performance, but the current "Source Code" really makes everyone see such hope.

This is a movie that has performed quite well in terms of word of mouth and box office. From the perspective of Chinese movies in the North American market, "Source Code" has let everyone know so far. Chinese movies can be attracted by blondes like them. In addition to some action films by Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie and those ancient costume action films that many Westerners like, there are also modern films like today.

Of course, these foreign movie fans are not fools. Of course, they also know that good film talents can make good movies. After all, if a movie like "Source Code" is made for someone like Guo Jingming, it must be It will be a bad movie. In many cases, a good director and a good team are needed to shoot a movie.

Movie fans all over the world, especially those on the North American side, have basically gotten to know Chen Xi, and are really looking forward to his super performance in one film festival after another.

Chen Xi's previous "Raid" can be said to be like a star that suddenly rose above the whole world. Of course, Chen Xi at that time also had certain problems in terms of popularity and true solidity, so I think of this movie very much. Sometimes, I may think of Chen Xi, but it is not so easy to really draw an equal sign between Chen Xi and a good director. From this point of view, it is not particularly strong, but this film still has a lot of influence, and it also allows everyone to really see the revival of a Chinese costume martial arts film.

At that time, Chen Xi's popularity gradually became popular, and more and more people began to like Chen Xi, but at this time, Chen Xi's significance was not particularly great, at least among Chinese directors, and among North American directors. In terms of popularity, he may be able to break into the top [-], but there is still a long way to go before the top [-]: After all, although the box office of Chinese movies has been relatively sluggish in North America these years, many directors of Chinese movies are based in North America. Still has a good reputation.

After all, many directors do not rely on box office for their films. For example, directors like Wang Xiaoshuai, although their own films do not have much box office in the North American market, they know that they have a lot of fans...

However, now that "Source Code" has appeared, this significance is too great. First of all, everyone has begun to really understand Chen Xi. Now Chen Xi appears in front of everyone as a director and an actor. Many Americans will also remember his two identities at the same time.

Secondly, the box office performance of this film will also become one of the best performances of Chinese-language films in this market. This will make many Americans begin to understand that Chinese-language films have not really completely declined. Then some people are insisting on Chinese-language films, insisting on making good-quality Chinese-language films!
And the expectations of these people are clearly achievable.

This will also prevent Chinese films from sinking or being forgotten in the hearts of North American movie fans.

Again, the birth of "Source Code" has really laid the foundation for many of Chen Xi's next movies. Now Americans have begun to really pay attention to Chen Xi's next movies, and it is obvious that they will also start to look forward to Chen Xi's The next film, so when it comes to the next film, even if Chen Xi doesn't need the same scale of publicity as "Source Code", she can get a higher reputation.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Chen Xi and the others will face a better world in the next time.

...And now many people are looking forward to seeing the final North American box office of "Source Code". The film's performance in the North American market in the past two weeks can no longer be described as excellent, but astonishing.

Because the achievements of this movie are beyond the imagination of many people.

This is also the best performance of Chinese-language movies after "Hero" and has surpassed "Hero" now. It shows another type of Chinese-language movies in front of people all over the world. It also shows that Chinese-language movies are possible in many places. Develop more good things.

However, starting from the next third week, although "Source Code" wants to maintain the current good reputation on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, as well as on some other movie websites and many American movie fans, it should not be a problem. But it is obviously impossible for this movie to maintain the previous box office. First of all, it has been released for two weeks. "Source Code" will definitely have a great impact on the film schedule, and secondly because it is also in North America. The year-end schedule of the market, many movies in this schedule may get quite good box office.

This is especially true when there is still a Christmas schedule in the middle, so many blockbuster films will choose to be released at this time and the market living space of "Source Code" will be robbed. In addition, "Avatar" is about to be released, and now this Chen Xi is the only person in the world who knows how amazing the subsequent "Avatar" is, and he is the only one who knows how crazy the final box office of this movie will be, but many people have actually thought of "Avatar" before. There should be quite good performance in the global market.

Therefore, the release of "Avatar" will definitely get a share of Chen Xi's "Source Code"!

Soon, "Avatar" really started to be released. Just after the movie was released, everyone experienced a unique movie-watching experience. They never thought that a movie could be filmed and played like this... They never They never thought that they would be able to watch such a shocking movie.

Although it is said that there have been 3D movies in the history of human movies, many of the so-called 3D movies before are just empty shells, and they don’t have very good visual performance. Those who really have super 3D A lot of movies with special effects are regarded as something that can only exist in museums, and can only be played back in certain places.But when it came to "Avatar", everyone really saw the horror of 3D movies and the shock of this form.

Although the North American box office of "Avatar" did not shock people to the extreme in the first week, the film even started to reverse in places like the North American market, and even in the second week, the box office still maintained one It is of a very high standard. It is estimated that such a movie will be screened for nearly two months if it is shown on a long-term basis. It may already exceed the terrifying [-] million US dollars at the box office...

But in the face of a scourge like "Avatar", many people imagined that "Source Code", a light-weight player that would collapse at a touch, did not really explode. Instead, the box office of "Source Code" in the third week was also quite strong. It still got 1204 million US dollars in a week, and the cumulative box office has reached 6792 million US dollars!
In this way, "Source Code" is only second to the number one "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" until now, and has become No.2 in the box office rankings of foreign language films in the North American market. Now, there are already two Chinese-language movies!

The people of the world really feel an unavoidable surprise in front of such a movie!

At this moment, the box office of "Source Code" is still making a further impact in the North American market. Although the total box office weakened slightly in the third and fourth weeks after that, when it was released a month later, "Source Code" "In the end, it won a box office of 7509 million US dollars, becoming the second highest-grossing movie in the world under "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

... In the North American market, Chen Xi's name has really begun to be spread, and even Liu Yifei has basically hitched a ride. Anyway, within a period of time, Liu Yifei's reputation in North America has even begun to move towards International actresses like Zhang Ziyi and the others launched a challenge.

Liu Yifei gained enough popularity in North America when "The King of Kung Fu" had a North American box office of more than 5000 million US dollars, and now "Source Code" has taken this popularity a big step forward.

The following Liu Yifei can be regarded as a well-known actress in the world!
Of course, this is even more true for Chen Xi. Surprisingly, Chen Xi is not only famous as a director in North America, but many people are more willing to regard him as a super talented Chinese film directed and acted by himself. People, this is still very important to Chen Xi.

It is quite obvious that the North American market is an indicator of the overseas market. In fact, among the top ten countries and regions in the world, China and Japan may be relatively It will be different from the North American market. Bad movies in the Japanese market can’t be sold in Japan. This two-dimensional country has a relatively high level of appreciation for movies. As for China...

In China, both good and bad Hollywood movies sell equally well, and many big bad movies need to come to China, where people are stupid and rich, to really recover the cost...

Of course, the aesthetics of Chinese movies is also improving.

But now, the North American box office of "Source Code" is so amazing, and it has also had a huge impact on the whole world.

Therefore, among the countries and regions that have been continuously released after "Source Code", this movie broke the movie viewing records in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other places in Southeast Asia alone. It broke some records of many Chinese films in these places.

"Source Code" has received a total of 2357 million US dollars in box office in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, the major Chinese-language film dumping markets in Southeast Asia, and the average release time is about 40 days. Not bad, and with the addition of the performance in the North American market, the box office of "Source Code" has almost broken [-] million US dollars!
In addition, "Source Code" quickly broke some records on the Japanese side. After 46 days of release, it got a box office of 32.47 billion yen, ranking second only to "Shaolin Temple" and surpassing the previous "Plan A". Among the Chinese films in the Japanese film market, it ranks fifth!Equivalent to 2700 million US dollars.In the annual Japanese box office rankings, it also reached the top twenty.

In South Korea, "Source Code" has also performed quite well in places such as the number of movie viewers, ranking second only to "Red Cliff", surpassing "House of Flying Daggers", with 150 million movie viewers and 1000 million. box office in dollars.

"Source Code" also performed quite well in Europe, and finally won a box office of 3814 million US dollars in European countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy.

"The worldwide revival of Chinese films!"

Soon, after seeing such super box office data, such titles have appeared in many places now, and this is not only in the Chinese media, but also in many foreign film media. Some thoughts, they all felt that "Source Code" has achieved so many achievements in the world's box office rankings, and felt the atmosphere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" sweeping the world back then, many people felt it Something about Chinese films seems to be back!
Of course, there are indeed some people in some of these media who have such a taste of exaggeration, but it is precisely because of such titles that the current "Source Code" has attracted much attention, and of course Chen Xi's whole body It has also gained more and more popularity around the world, and it has also attracted more and more attention.

The release of "Source Code" is still going on one after another. Although the main film markets of this film are Europe, Asia and North America, there are still places where "Source Code" is being shown in other countries and regions. The film's box office is still strong in the world.

The final international box office of the film was calculated in December 2010. At this time, the film was basically released on a global scale.
