enters the third week of November, that is, the 45th week of the year. The North American theaters ushered in the opening of three new films. Among them, Christian Bell and Matt Damon starred in the new film "Speed King 》, in the first weekend three days with a box office score of 31.03 million US dollars, capped the 45th week of the North American box office leader , relative to the budget cost, this result is still not in line with expectations. So far, since the opening of Will Smith's "Gemini Killer" in the North American market, the phenomenon of Hollywood blockbusters has become more and more intense. It seems that only this week's Disney's "Frozen 2" can save face.
The 45th week of the North American box office rankings are freshly released. The war film produced by Lionsgate and Bona of China, Roland Emmerich’s "Decisive Battle of Midway", will be released into the next week, on the American Veterans Day last week. With assists, another $8.75 million was won to win the runner-up . The global box office was only $53.75 million, and the $100 million budget cost would be nothing. Sony Pictures’ "Charlie Girl" starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, cut $8.6 million in three days in the first weekend, ranking third on the list.
Another new film is a drama produced by Warner, "Master of Lies" starring Helen Mirren, which earned $5.65 million in three days in the first weekend, ranking seventh on the list. Let's take a look at the top ten list of the North American Box Office Ranking in Week 45 (11.11-11.17) of 2019.
"Speed Car King" landed on the North American theaters on November 15th. It scored $1,094 on Friday's premiere day. It hit $1233 again on Saturday and the next day. On the third day on Sunday, it reported a box office of $776. , Won the single-day box office championship for three consecutive days. At the end of the first weekend of the three-day journey, the North American box office cut $31.03 million and won the North American box office ranking with an absolute high box office advantage.
"Speed Car King" has been drawn simultaneously in 41 overseas countries or regions. It earned 21.4 million US dollars overseas. The global box office was released, and a total of 5,243 US dollars . This first weekend, the global box office results are not strong enough in terms of cost. .
Bell and Damon’s new film "The King of Speed Cars" is produced by 20th Century Fox Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood publishers, and is responsible for global distribution. Although Fox Pictures has been acquired by Disney, the business is still accounted for separately , Equivalent to Disney's Marvel Pictures. It is reported that the budget cost of "Speed Car King" is as high as 97.6 million U.S. dollars. Judging from the current world's first week of box office of 5,243 U.S. dollars, Fox will have no revenue this time.
help Fox Pictures simply estimate that the cost of 97.6 million US dollars, based on three times the box office return, the global box office needs to reach 290 million US dollars to achieve profitability. However, the global box office at the first weekend only received 52.43 million U.S. dollars. Based on the following week’s flat or 30% drop, it may get 40 million U.S. dollars. The final forecast of the global box office of "Speed Car King" is around 240 million U.S. dollars. Zhou Disney’s blockbuster film "Frozen 2" will be launched globally, which will inevitably squeeze the movie’s theater lineup share. Therefore, it is still very difficult to exceed the $290 million cost line. Fox this time There may be no harvest.
However, there is news that "Speed Car King" will be introduced in mainland China. If it can assist in the mainland market, there may be a real possibility of recovering the cost. Even if it loses money, it may only be a small amount.
After the global launch of "Speed Car King", the ratings of major platforms have been lifted, and word of mouth has been exposed. More than 1,000 people on Douban scored 8.6 points. This score is very eye-catching. If the mainland can introduce them, I believe the box office will be a big hit; IMDB more than 15,000 people rated 8.3 points; cinemascore was recommended by A+ level;
MTC mass media , 43 media participated in the review and scoring, of which 38 gave good reviews, 5 gave mixed reviews, and none of the media gave bad reviews. The comprehensive score index was as high as 81 points , pure green, and absolute annual high reputation film;
Rotten Tomatoes On the professional film critic platform, 230 film critics gave the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes 92%, of which 212 were fresh and 18 were rotten. The audience’s popcorn index was as high as 98%, this reputation is incredible, much higher than the reputation of the annual hit movie "Joker". The follow-up global box office trend is very likely to counterattack. Let us wait and see.
summed up the reputation data of various parties and concluded: "The Speed Car King" is a popular film and one of the unmissable films of the year.
Fox Pictures invited their old friend James Mangold to direct the film this time. He had previously directed "Wolverine 3", which was also produced by their company. The global box office exploded 619 million, not only the box office. , Word of mouth is even more brilliant. Fox still believes in James Mangold's ability very much. Otherwise, he would not cost 97.6 million US dollars for "Speed King". Now the word-of-mouth has exploded, just waiting for the box office to explode.
Bell and Damon’s new film "The Speed Car King" is actually a biographical literary film, not a simple popcorn movie. It is adapted from the documentary novel "Hell Drive: Ford, Ferrari and Le "Mans Endurance Race" tells the story of Henry Ford II who wanted to defeat the long-time overlord Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans World Championship in the mid-1960s, and then he won the car designer Carol Schell ( Matt Damon) and British driver Ken Miles (played by Christian Bell) completed this dream together. In the end, the Ford GT40 they jointly developed successfully defeated Ferrari and won two championships.
In the film, Matt Damon and Christian Bale played the roles of automobile engineer and race car driver respectively. The two acting masters have dedicated their peak performances. With the blessing of high reputation, I believe that the next year’s Oscar actor can spend On the two big coffee.
"The Speed Car King" was introduced in mainland China, would you go to watch this movie? Do you think the box office can finally fight back?
