had four new films released on a large scale in the North American film market last weekend, and they happened to be ranked in the top four on the weekend box office charts. Similar situations rarely occurred in the past. The box office performance of the four films is half and half, and not exactly the same as the industry's previous expectations.
ranked first in "The Battle of Midway" from Lionsgate. The film was invested by the Chinese owner of Bona Film, but the US distribution rights were given to Lionsgate. This war film directed by famous director Roland Emmerich was released in 3,242 theaters in North America last weekend. The result was $17.5 million at the box office, which was better than expected. American audiences gave the film an A-level viewing rating, far surpassing the ratings of professional film critics with only 41% praise on Rotten Tomatoes. This Monday coincides with the American traditional veteran memorial day, and it is wise to choose "The Battle of Midway" to be released at this time. Of course, the total cost of the film is said to reach 100 million US dollars, and the box office of less than 20 million US dollars seems to be far from enough. Even with the 110 million yuan box office it won in the Chinese mainland market, whether there can be a surplus, there is still a question mark.
is left behind by "The Battle of Midway" is "Doctor Sleep" from Warner. This new work, with the aura of "The Shining" sequel, was originally more favored by industry insiders, but it turned out to be only 14.1 million U.S. dollars at the weekend box office, far less than another Stephen King IP work "Pet Cemetery" released in April this year. "(Pet Sematary) opened the box office for $24.5 million.
ranked third in the comedy "Playing with Fire" from Paramount. The film tells the hilarious story of a group of firefighters forced to take care of three cute babies. The story is obviously based on the French comedy "3 hommes et un couffin" (3 hommes et un couffin) in the 1980s. Many comedies of the same type have evolved from it, including the American remake of "3 Men and a Baby" (3 Men and a Baby, 1987), and "Kindergarten Detective" starring Schwarzenegger (Kindergarten Cop, 1990) , Jackie Chan's "Baby Project", "The Pacifier" starring Diesel (The Pacifier, 2005), and "Super Bowl Daddy" starring "The Rock" Johnson (The Game Plan, 2007). For comedy themes that have been overdeveloped for a long time, it is naturally difficult to shoot new ideas, so it is no wonder that on "Rotten Tomatoes", the comprehensive score of film critics is only 24%. However, on the other hand, there are many viewers who always love to watch this cute comedy of human and animal contrast. It is they who gave "Fire Daddy" a weekend box office of $12.8 million. The industry originally predicted that the film Because the story is really lacking in new ideas, it is estimated that there is only a weekend box office of 10 million US dollars at most. It can only be said that for the market, for what the current audience loves to watch, no one dares to pack tickets.
Universal Pictures’ romantic comedy "Last Christmas" has become the worst box office of the four new films this weekend. The US$11.6 million is also the worst drawing achievement that Paul Feige, a director who specializes in running "chick films", has achieved in recent years, which is far lower than the films he is famous for, such as "bridesmaids", "hot police flowers" and "female spies". Lower than "A Little Busy" and "Super Expendables". The title of "Last Christmas" comes from the golden song of the same name by George Mack. It tells the story of a romantic encounter during Christmas. The starring role is the very popular "Dragon Mother" Emilia Clarke in the American drama "Game of Thrones" ( Emilia Clarke). The reason why the box office is not as good as expected can only be attributed to some problems with the schedule selection. After all, it seems a bit too early to convince the audience to go into the theater to watch a movie with the title "Christmas" in early November. Finally, it is worth repeating "Joker". Last weekend, the film ranked sixth in the box office chart and fell out of the top five for the first time since its release. However, the global box office of the film has reached 985 million U.S. dollars, and it is believed that it will break through the billion U.S. dollar mark soon. According to statistics, before "Joker", the lowest production cost of all films with a global box office of over one billion US dollars was "Jurassic Park" which cost 63 million US dollars, while the production cost of "Joker" was 62.5 million US dollars. , Which is $500,000 less than the former,It is bound to set new records.
