1554 Overseas miracle
“I can't believe what I'm about to say next, but...the reality is that the overseas box office of 'Gravity' is creating an incredible miracle, and it hopes to become the third film in film history to have an overseas box office of over 1 billion.！”
“This is not 'Avatar' and 'Titanic'. From the beginning, Alfonso Cuarón expected 'Gravity' to appear in the main competition at Cannes or Venice Film Festival. This is an awards season film. ; However, Warner Bros. is expecting this work to achieve good results at the commercial box office and has arranged its release plan in accordance with the commercial film distribution strategy..”
“However, even Warner Bros. themselves did not expect that choosing "Gravity" for release in the fall would create a miraculous curve that cannot be replicated! Could anyone have predicted the current situation? Obviously the answer is no. Even now, I still can't believe this is happening. But maybe, this is the charm and potential of Renly Hall.”
“Yes, viewers, this is happening！”
All TV programs, including the "Today Show", "Good Morning America" and other morning news programs, all focused their attention one after another, and discussions filled with anticipation and shock could be heard endlessly, even after witnessing Industry insiders who have made history time and time again are no exception at this time..
“"Gravity" is indeed creating miracles！
Following the North American and mainland markets, "Gravity" has also made a devastating sweep in the overseas markets. As the performance of overseas markets continues to rise, Warner Bros.'s distribution plan has also continued to make adjustments, with the release range ranging from the The initial thirty-eight countries and regions climbed all the way to the final fifty-nine countries and regions, which is the same as last year's "Avengers".
The rising momentum is unstoppable！
In the end, the United Kingdom, Japan, France and Russia became the four largest overseas ticket warehouses after the mainland..
The second-ranked United Kingdom, as Renly's hometown, has always had a unique appeal. Especially after the revelation of the hereditary noble's wealth and background, Renly became loved by all the people, so much so that "The Sun" Calling him the "male version of Diana", his influence is absolutely extraordinary.
The most intuitive example is "Crazy Love". This movie still maintains strong vitality in the video rental market. It has entered the top five rental lists of love movies for three consecutive years. Such long-term continuity is astonishing. Renly's other works always find support here, and "Gravity" is no exception.
$130 million！
“"Gravity" swept the British Isles with a total box office of 130 million, which also made the UK have a film with a box office of over 100 million for five consecutive years.——
2009"Avatar" in 2010, "Toy Story 3" in 2010, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" in 2011 and "Skyfall" in 2012. This year is the fifth consecutive year , which also reflects the continued healthy and dynamic development trend of the British film market..
Furthermore, the UK box office total of "Gravity" exceeded that of "Toy Story 3" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2", and was second only to "Skyfall" and "Skyfall" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 007 series. The two works of "Avatar", such a gesture is enough to make the British media collectively take off their hats to Renly.！
Now, in addition to 007, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, "Renly Hall" is also becoming the most popular and sought-after character in the British local market. Its strong market appeal and artistic influence are incomparable. .This young gentleman of British origin is writing his own legend..
Japan, ranked third, has unimaginable fanaticism in supporting local films and animation films. The box office champion so far this year is "The Wind Rises", Hayao Miyazaki's farewell to the big screen. Cumulative box office reached US$119 million.
Interestingly, the Marvel movie adaptations did slightly below expectations in Japan, with "Iron Man 3" only earning $25 million, "Avengers" only $45 million, and "Thor" only $500. Seven hundred thousand dollars - can be understood as the cultural difference between American comics and Japanese comics; it can also be understood as Japan's extremely high demand for comic book adaptation movies.
However, last year's "Edge of Tomorrow" was released in Japan and achieved excellent results, and this year's "Gravity" has also continued its excellent appeal here..
$93 million.
More than twice the box office figures of "Avengers"! Although it failed to replicate the astonishing 170 million achieved by "Avatar" here, it easily surpassed the 90 million earned by this year's foreign language film box office champion "Monsters University" and temporarily ranked second in Japan's annual box office rankings in 2013. Second to "The Wind Rises"”.
Ranked third in France, the pursuit of Renly in this land seems to have never cooled down. The enthusiasm and madness during this year's Cannes Film Festival are still vivid in my mind. Renly's accomplishments in art films have successfully triggered With the resonance and support of the French people, he has surpassed Woody Allen and become the most enthusiastically discussed Hollywood film practitioner in France today..
“"Gravity" has been voted the most anticipated film in France in 2013, but before the release of the Coen brothers' work, "Gravity" took the lead, and the movie-going craze in the French market was driven by Renly's charm. , successfully surpassed the rounds of bombing this summer and reached the peak of the year.
$70 million！
This is the total box office of "Gravity" in France. Just how miraculous such results are is clear when you make a horizontal comparison.：
2012The French annual box office champion was "007: Skyfall" with a box office figure of 60 million; while "Avengers" released in the same year only had 37 million. In other words, this is a commercial explosion. This is a land where Mihua movies are basically immune. Even for visual effects blockbusters, they still need a good story and will never buy it easily..
Now, "Gravity" can take in a box office figure of 70 million US dollars here, which is astonishing and has aroused a lot of attention and sensation in the French media. Even "Cahiers du Cinema" is no exception..
This maverick French professional film magazine never buys it easily. When others praise it, they can criticize it without mercy; when others dismiss it, they can also enthusiastically pursue it; in addition, for commercial films, They will not be stingy with their praise, excellence is excellence.
Now, "Cahiers du Cinema" has published an article on its official website, calling "Gravity" a "work worthy of entering the cinema" and believing that it is a "work that is enough to keep the audience in the cinema." ”, even the “Avatar” back then was not able to enjoy such a level of praise and admiration..
Russia, ranked fifth, like the mainland market, their space station appeared directly in the movie, triggering a wave of discussion, and the final box office trend of the movie also showed a gratifying trend.
$55 million.
“"Gravity" has also achieved impressive results on this land, ranking fourth in the total box office of Russian movies since the beginning of the millennium, second only to "Avatar", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Shrek 2". The outstanding results have attracted a lot of attention, especially compared with "Iron Man 3" released in the first half of the year, the box office data has increased a lot——
The latter's Russian box office was $44 million, and now "Gravity" has climbed 25 percent, a remarkable result.
"Gravity" easily grossed $348 million at the box office in the UK, Japan, France and Russia alone, but that's still not all..
In addition, the cumulative box office of eight countries and regions, including Germany, Australia, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, and Italy, has easily exceeded 20 million U.S. dollars, plus sixteen more countries and regions. The cumulative box office of both films has exceeded 5 million US dollars, making them popular across the board.！
Without too many words, you can clearly and clearly feel the overwhelming box office power of "Gravity" in overseas markets, especially compared with the box office champion "Iron Man 3" in the first half of this year and last year's box office total. The champion "Avengers" has obvious advantages in horizontal comparison..
Countless media have begun to seriously discuss what is the reason for the difference in box office performance between the two films "Avengers" and "Gravity" in overseas markets.？
In North America, the cumulative total box office of these two movies was inextricably matched, and "Gravity" only narrowly won in the end. However, in overseas regions, "Gravity" took an absolute lead in the major box office markets, and it was still The huge advantage of two or even three times is only lagging behind in a small area, and the degree of full bloom is not as good as that of the "Avengers".
Why is this?？
If it can be interpreted, then the alliance between Disney and Marvel Studios and Warner Bros.' control of DC Comics will immediately weaken the threat a lot, and other major film companies can find different ways to regain their competitiveness - — Even though “Gravity” is financed by Warner Bros..
In the end, the total overseas box office of "Gravity" in 59 countries and regions around the world crossed the billion-dollar threshold and settled at one billion and eight million US dollars..
The suspense was finally revealed. After "Titanic" and "Avatar", the third overseas movie with a box office of over 1 billion was finally born. It was not "Avengers" but "Gravity". This was really unexpected. everyone's expectations.
After experiencing the continuous bombardment of Marvel Studios, the entire North American market has radiated new vitality. Another work has reached the height of film history and explored other possibilities for the film market. This is for major movies. The company has far-reaching significance. Although "Gravity"'s overseas box office of one billion is still a bit reluctant, relying on long-term screenings and slowly passing the threshold, a billion is a billion, and history was born.！
Miracle？
No, it's a myth！
