The North American film market is divided into five periods a year, spring period, summer period, autumn period, holiday period, and winter period. Among them, the summer period is also called the summer period, and the holiday period and winter period are also the awards season. Among them, , the summer and holiday seasons are undoubtedly the box office kings every year, and the other three periods naturally pale in comparison..
Thanks to the advance of the Oscar ceremony, the spring season gradually began to recover. In 2010, "Alice in Wonderland" handed over 116 million weekend box office, plus "The Fast and the Furious" ranked fourth The first and fifth parts also achieved amazing box office performance during this period. Gradually, this period became the third most profitable time period of the year..
Before the 21st century, the winter season was the least profitable time of the year. On the one hand, the frenzy of the awards season robbed people of attention, and on the other hand, the cold season made people have no interest in movie theaters. There is a popular saying in Hollywood. , “If you abandon a work, throw it into January.”
As of 2011, the January premiere box office record is still held by "Cloverfield". This work achieved a weekend box office of 40 million when it was released in 2008. No one has been able to break it. It can be seen that winter The depression and loneliness at that time.
But at least the winter season benefits from the hustle and bustle of the awards season. This is definitely the busiest time of the year for news. Many works have also benefited from such attention and achieved a lot of box office results..
As for the autumn season, there has always been a lack of motivation, especially the rise of the Toronto Film Festival, which has caused all reporters to leave the United States. Coupled with the just-ended summer season and the new semester that has just begun, all this has made the fall film season less popular. There has been no improvement. Until 2011, no movie's opening weekend box office in September could exceed 40 million. The box office record in film history was 35 million set by "Alabama" in 2002..
Taken together, the box office record for a winter premiere movie is 84 million for "The Passion of the Christ" in February 2004, while the record for the autumn season is "Jackass 3D" in 2010. The difference between the 50 million harvested in October is clear at a glance.
At a time when the North American premiere box office has exceeded 100 million, the decline in the winter and autumn seasons cannot be reversed; moreover, quietly, the autumn season is replacing the winter season and becoming the bleakest season of the year..
Most of the works released in autumn are aimed at the annual Halloween. Countless low-cost horror movies have become mainstream, such as the "Saw" series, "Paranormal Activity" series, and "Scary" series. , became the biggest winner of this period. The same goes for last year's "Buried Alive", which was released in late October and took advantage of the Halloween craze to achieve a box office success..
This year is no exception.
Movies released in autumn are generally competitive. "The Lion King", which suppressed 3D and was released again, unexpectedly won three consecutive championships in September. The highest weekend box office in the whole month was only 30 million. Other awards season series Works such as "Contagion", "Warrior", "Moneyball", etc., starring top stars such as Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Jude Law, still failed to drive box office The market is picking up.
