2436 historical footsteps
In the history of North American movies, it is the fastest to break through 100 million, 200 million... and all the way to 400 million! Five hundred million! "Jurassic World" continues to set historical records with a devastating attitude, successfully crossing the 500 million threshold in just fifteen days, and rushing towards the height of 600 million..
In just 24 days, "Jurassic World" became the fifth film in North American film history to have a box office of more than 600 million. The previous four were "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers", "Earth" "Gravity" now welcomes its fifth member, forming the top of the pyramid.
As an aside, the most noteworthy thing is that "Avatar", "Titanic" and "Gravity" are all original works, not sequels or copyrights, which is exactly the opposite of the overall industry trend in Hollywood; even "Avengers" "League" and "Jurassic World", the previous series has been completely laid out for a long time, but as far as the movie itself is concerned, it is also a brand-new work from scratch, rather than a sequel such as "Someone 2" and "XX3".
This also shows that sequel movies can be produced in an assembly line and continue the movie company's way of making money; but what the market is really willing to buy is still the original idea. On the contrary, it is difficult for sequel movies to reach such heights-it goes against the industrial management of the movie company, and the market gives give different answers.
Furthermore, DreamWorks, Lionsgate, A24 Pictures, Sisyphus Pictures, etc., small companies that started from independent films and then opened up a world, still have huge living space, even Disney and Warner Even if the brothers join forces, they cannot completely clear the market..
Of course, "Jurassic World" in the eyes of major Hollywood film companies is a different story. It is obviously not an original creation, but a sequel series, and more of an assembly line work. This also strengthens their focus on copyright, assembly line production, and film commercialization. determination, with the only exception being：
Renly-Hall.
After "Gravity", Renly has his second North American 600 million work, which also makes him comparable to James Cameron——
The two box-office champions in film history gave James the opportunity to mobilize one billion dollars to film the five-part "Avatar" series. Such treatment is something that even Steven Spielberg has never had. Even within Hollywood, James' status and Power is always at the forefront, even transcendent.
Now, Renly is on par with James.
In February, there were two Oscar awards; in May, there were two awards in Cannes; in June, there were 600 million awards in North America. The first half of 2015 belongs to the unique Renly.
Objectively speaking, "Renly made history" is no longer news. This is an actor who is destined to rewrite the history of North American movies. Whether it is age or historical data, everything is continuing to write records; but despite In this way, the first half of the year is still a myth.
Even crazier than achieving EGOT at a young age！
“When "Jurassic World" hit a peak of 230 million during its opening weekend, many people lamented that the feat of 400 million in North America for four consecutive years was enough for Renly to go down in history and go down in history—— Although his name has been recorded early in the history of North American film.
But just four weeks later, people began to discuss the possibility of "800 million North Americans"？
This is really crazy！
Since "Star Wars" created a new record in 1977 with a box office of 400 million in North America, the North American market has gone through ups and downs in just 40 years, reaching 600 million in North America with "Titanic". This journey has been a long one. It took twenty years; to get to the 700 million in North America for "Avatar", this journey took another twelve years; now it is only six years, is it possible that North America will enter the next stage and challenge the height of 800 million?？
National attention！
much anticipated！
Feeling excited！
However, calm down and think carefully：
Everyone once thought that "100 million in a single day" was an impossible task, but "Jurassic World" achieved it easily; now, many people think that the era of "800 million in North America" has not yet arrived, but the audience A different answer is given, so "who" is the correct party?？
“Many viewers have misunderstandings about performance. In my opinion, performance is not only a kind of interpretation, but more of an understanding and integration. Even in popcorn movies, not every actor can adapt to every role. , which is why casting directors must exist.”
In an interview with "Us Weekly", Steven Spielberg expressed this position when answering the question about "whether Renly made 'Jurassic World'".
“The excellence and excellence of Renly lies in his ability to give the character soul, including his own understanding, including the extension of the plot, which are all inseparable. Twenty-two years ago, when I was creating "Jurassic Park", I tried to evolve the imagination in my dream into reality. Dinosaurs are the soul of the entire movie; and twenty-two years later, when we re-created this story, Renly became the core of the connection between dinosaurs and reality. Trying to tell a story about dinosaurs affecting real life and even changing the world, Renly made the story possible.”
“This is an important change in the movie. So, when you ask whether Renly made this movie, my answer is yes. I also believe that the movie box office gives the best answer, not just 'Jura' "The World", countless movies before this have already given the answer.”
When he said this, Steven laughed happily, "I hope that 'Jurassic World' can use Renly's influence to make more people like dinosaurs and let more people dream with me. .Welcome everyone to join the ranks of film creation, anyone can shoot a film.”
“When the U.S. Weekly interview was conducted, the North American box office of "Jurassic World" had just exceeded 500 million, which was far from reaching the subsequent heights, but Steven was still asked about box office expectations..
“This is not a topic I can decide, but I look forward to the movie making history. When James did it, maybe Renly can do it too. I look forward to him accomplishing what I have not been able to accomplish. George and I both I'm looking forward to Renly being able to defeat James..”
The amount of information is a bit large, and only a director of Steven's level can mention a lot of big names in an understatement..
After the North American box office of "Jurassic World" exceeded 650 million, "U.S. Weekly" organized an exclusive interview again, this time with James Cameron.
“affim! Yes, the answer from me is 100% yes, there is no doubt.”
“Can Jurassic World's North American box office exceed 800 million? This is James' answer.
“To be honest, I have been waiting for someone to break this record, because the record was originally created to wait for future generations to break, so that it has meaning; in the past few years, the record has never been surpassed, and I am making 'Avatar' 'We encountered some technical problems while working on the sequel, and countless discussions never stopped..”
“I look forward to the box office record being broken, because this will also prove that our film market is still dynamic and the audience is still willing to go into the cinema to watch attractive works on the big screen. This is ongoing for me and my colleagues. work is of great significance.”
“If 'Jurassic World' sets this record, I would be very happy. I also believe Steven should be very happy to see such a result..”
James was then asked about Renly - after all, he had never collaborated with Renly. Of course, Renly had never collaborated with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, or George Luca. We have collaborated with Si, Francis Ford Coppola and others, but times have changed after all..
“In fact, I watched 'Gravity' in the cinema. I personally liked Renly's performance very much. It can be seen that he can interpret his own things according to the director's requirements and give the character more charm. This is undoubtedly It's something very rare and unique..”
“I don't think our crew has the budget to bring Renly here, and there will be a lot of uncertainty surrounding his filming schedule, but if the opportunity arises in the future, I can imagine a movie like 'The Abyss' The work should be able to bring out Renly's unique temperament. I heard that Ridley Scott is preparing to shoot the follow-up story of 'Blade Runner'. I would like to strongly recommend him to talk to Renly..”
There is no politeness or compliment, but true sincerity is revealed between the lines. The positive attitude of this master director can also be seen from the side..
At the end of the interview, James once again affirmed, "Eight hundred million, yes, I'm sure 'Jurassic World' should have no problem with eight hundred million in North America. In fact, I think you should consider nine hundred million. Why not? Maybe One day in the future, a single market of one billion US dollars is also possible. We should look forward to the movie.”
From Steven Spielberg to James Cameron, these film masters have expressed their views and expressed their opinions in interviews; but what they care about is not just a record, but more about this The deep content represented by this record is just like that of major Hollywood film companies..
But it is undeniable that all the attention of the United States is focused on it. According to the predictions of the exhibition relationship, there is no suspense for "Jurassic World" to exceed 800 million in North America. This also means that all audiences in North America will participate in this journey. , and then witness the birth of history with your own eyes.
Everyone—literally everyone—can’t wait to get to the cinema to watch it, lest they be left behind..
Then, the footsteps of history are getting closer and closer like this..
In the second week of July, "Minions with Big Eyes" officially debuted. It was also produced by Universal Pictures. It originated from the spin-off of the popular classic character "Despicable Me" and opened a separate spin-off - just like the "Fast and Furious" series. Currently working on a personal side story, this animated work with only an investment of 74 million has exploded into astonishing market power by relying on cuteness and comedy..
$115 million opening weekend.
“"Minions with Big Eyes" powerfully topped the weekend box office championship, ending the consecutive championship run of "Jurassic World". While Universal Pictures continued its strong performance, the focus still did not leave "Jurassic World"”.
