2253 Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new
The Christmas dinner in the Prince's Garden came to a lively but quiet end amidst the silent observation and prying eyes of many London eyes. It seemed that before I had time to take off the mistletoe hanging on the door, the New Year's bells were already ringing. The cheers and parties of fireworks are ringing in our ears, and we are embracing the arrival of 2015 with open arms..
Another year.
In 2014, which has just come to an end, a series of major events have happened in Hollywood again. Just as Gavin Hunt felt when he wrote a special report for "Us Weekly", this was a year of turbulent undercurrents, and each and every trivial and... Subtle turning points piece together what the whole year looks like.
The debut of Sisyphus Pictures, the turmoil of Warner Bros., the welcome of Universal Pictures, Disney's accumulation of strength, the rise of Netflix, the rise of Lionsgate... all are pushing the wheel of the times to continue to move forward. OK, only the truly wise can see the overall situation.
As for the other fools who are in it, they can only look up at the small space above their heads, looking forward to catching the moment when the opportunity flashes. For them, the North American year-end box office list and the global year-end box office list are statistics. The summary may not be able to explore the secrets of heaven, but at least it can keep up with the tide of the times, and pray that oneself will not be left too far behind by the pace of progress..
The year before that, in 2013, North America witnessed Renly's ascent to the top. "Gravity" was crowned the year-end champion with results of 630 million in North America and 1.64 billion globally. , this is also the first time in Renly's career that he has topped the year-end box office in North America and around the world..
Undoubtedly, this is a crucial turning point. Just like Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and other superstars, Renly finally collected this piece of achievement puzzle and completed his career. Another milestone in the grand blueprint, officially establishing its status.
This year, Renly went even further and became the first actor in film history to win the year-end box office championship in both North America and the world with a non-series film..
Prior to this, Harrison Ford won the year-end box office championship in North America with "Star Wars: Episode II" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1980 and 1981, while Tom Hanks won the top spot at the North American box office in 1994 and 1995 with "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Kim Jong-un" and "Toy Story" accomplished this feat.
But what's unique about Renly is that both movies are non-sequels, non-series--and it's a step up from Tom Hanks' voice acting in "Toy Story," because Renly is doing the same this year. He also dubbed the cartoon, and the box office numbers were also very gratifying..
2014On the year-end movie box office list this year, "Interstellar" successfully topped both the North American and global charts, achieving another feat for Renly..
First is the North American list.
“"Interstellar" claimed the title with $455 million, beating "The Hunger Games" series for the second year in a row - last year's "Gravity" beat "The Hunger Games 2" and this year's " "Interstellar" once again defeated "The Hunger Games: Part 1". Renly and Jennifer Lawrence, two new generation leaders, unexpectedly started a duel based on box office data. In the end, Renly successfully defended his position..
Followed closely by "Power Rangers", the score of 393 million is really impressive, ranking second at the end of the year, which also means that Renly alone took the top two spots on the year-end list. The name truly explains the meaning of the phrase "red turns purple". Even Harrison Ford at his peak did not behave like this..
Compared with Tom Hanks in 1994 and 1995, Renly has gone to a higher level to show his absolute dominance across thousands of armies, which is terrifying..
Then there are "American Sniper", which has a dark horse status and has broken countless glasses, "The Hunger Games 3 (Part 1)", whose box office data has gradually declined, and "Guardians of the Galaxy", which emerged as a ragtag group of people, occupying the first place on the year-end list respectively. third place to fifth place.
The above-mentioned five works are all on the list of the North American box office that exceeded 300 million in 2014. They clearly draw a dividing line for the annual box office summary report; and the number of works with a box office of more than 200 million for the whole year has reached 14, which is more than last year. One more.
The other nine North American films that have exceeded 200 million in box office are "Captain America 2", "The Lego Movie", "The Hobbit 3", "Transformers 4", "Maleficent", and then "X-Men" "Days of Future Past", "Dawn for the Planet of the Apes", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", "Godzilla"”.
On the year-end list, these works ranked sixth to fourteenth..
In addition, "Crackling Drummer" ranked among the top 20 with 188 million, ranking 16th, behind "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "Gone Girl", which is also The highest ranking for an award season film -- unless "Interstellar" can make a difference during awards season.
Looking at the above-mentioned list of works, the box office data of "The Hobbit 3", "Transformers 4", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Godzilla" were all lower than expected, even leading to losses for the film production company , the subsequent chain effects are also clearly visible：
“The direct result of the unsatisfactory performance of "The Hobbit 3" and "Godzilla" is that Warner Bros. lacks the continued development and operation of the series and is forced to put all its chips on the DC Universe; "The Amazing Spider-Man" The results of "Spider-Man 2" were far from satisfactory to Sony, which resulted in the Andrew Garfield version of Spider-Man being directly cut in half. The series was restarted for the third time in ten years, and the Spider-Man actors were re-selected..
At the same time, the box office performance of "American Sniper", "The Lego Movie", and "Maleficent" far exceeded expectations, and they gained a lot as dark horses, which naturally spawned a series of follow-ups：
“"American Sniper" brought Bradley Cooper to the forefront, not only becoming a real producer, but also rising to the top of the industry, truly occupying a place; the huge success of "The Lego Movie" gave birth to Warner Bros. The field of animation production has advanced by leaps and bounds, from animated movies to animated series. In particular, DC's development on the animation level has far exceeded the results of live-action movies; of course, "Maleficent" has firmly determined Disney to shoot live-action versions of animated movies. Determination, "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "Dumbo" and "Mulan" are all on the agenda.
As for Renly, the trio of "Interstellar", "Power Rangers" and "Crack Drummer" once again consolidated his absolute status as the number one person in the industry. Just by relying on himself, he was able to break up with the six major Hollywood film companies. With the addition of Sisyphus Pictures, his abilities are not limited to this..
Based on this, the turbulence and changes within the entire Hollywood industry are foreseeable, and even the European market is inevitably involved - not to mention, Renly has been making frequent moves in the European market, especially the three major movies. Festival hopes that they can also join the ranks of Don Quixote Channel. This storm will obviously continue..
The feat of winning the year-end box office championship and runner-up has brought Renly's reputation to an unprecedented high - the only one who can surpass Renly is Renly himself..
Followed by the global list.
“"Interstellar" defeated "Transformers 4", which performed exceptionally well in the overseas market, to become the champion with US$1.127 billion. The lead was only 20 million US dollars, but this still made Renly successful. The feat of dominating the annual double list with starring works for two consecutive years.
Compared with the North American market, Renly's appeal in overseas regions is no less impressive. Even when competing head-on with movie series and comic book adaptations, Renly has not fallen behind at all, truly demonstrating the majesty of "Renly's single-player universe" , pushing his personal reputation to a record high.
The numbers don't lie. In addition to "Interstellar", the global box office of "Super Marines" also exceeded 1 billion. In the end, it was only about 80 million US dollars behind "Transformers 4", ranking among the global year-end box office list. on, ranking third.
Although Renly was not able to replicate the feat of taking the top two spots on the North American charts, in 2014, there were only three works worldwide that exceeded one billion US dollars in box office. Renly alone occupied two seats, so powerful And the strong performance is not inferior to North America at all..
Ranking fourth in the annual global box office is "The Hobbit 3", with a score of 956 million, which still makes people feel the strong mass base of the entire series of works, which has been followed all the way from the "Lord of the Rings" era. down; but the global box office data started to show a gap from here. The cumulative box office of the fifth-ranked work fell directly to 700 million. It can be clearly noticed that the aesthetic fatigue of the comic book movie era is emerging..
“"Guardians of the Galaxy", "Maleficent", "The Hunger Games Part 1", "X-Men: Days of Future Past", "Captain America 2", "War for the Planet of the Apes" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" respectively. The remaining positions in the top ten.
Overall, the members of the global list and the North American list are basically consistent. The biggest change is that "The Lego Movie" fell out of the top fifteen global box office; and the overseas market performance of "American Sniper" also It can only be said that it is quite satisfactory, falling directly out of the top ten. Apart from this, other works have successfully maintained their positions, and relying on the performance of overseas box office, they have reversed the unsatisfactory situation at the North American box office to a certain extent..
It is worth mentioning that "Breaking Drummer" occupies the 24th position on the year-end list with global box office data of 356 million. This performance also continues the work's popularity at the end of the year. ——However, slightly inferior to "Gone Girl", this work's performance in overseas markets also became more and more courageous. In the end, it grossed 369 million worldwide and reached the 21st place on the list..
From North American charts to global rankings, from 2013 to 2014, Renly showed unparalleled dominance, proving his status as the number one person in Hollywood today with real data performance, and his influence and appeal have truly reached has reached a new high, has become a new label in pop culture and film culture, and has further become a part of the mark of the times..
If you don't know Renly, you are behind the times..
