This Friday’s North American film market lacks explosives, and theaters seem to have been robbed of the limelight by Halloween. "Terminator: Dark Fate", directed by Tim Miller and written and produced by Cameron, took the lead in the new film. On Friday, the film opened with a first-day box office score of $10.6 million, which was a big lead and easily won the championship.
In the absence of a strong opponent, the box office start of "Terminator: Dark Fate" did not meet industry expectations. The local box office in the first weekend is expected to be less than $27 million, which is worse than the first weekend of the predecessor "Terminator: Genesis".
"Terminator: Dark Fate" lost to "Young You" on the first day of the mainland release. "Genesis", released in 2015, finally ended with a global box office record of $440 million. Under the premise that the local and overseas markets have had an unfavorable start, the pressure on "Terminator: Dark Fate" to recover US$185 million in investment costs is increasing.
Another new film "Harriet" (note, not Harry Potter), which premiered on Friday, earned $3.9 million at the box office and ranked second. The film tells the legendary life of Harriet Tubman, a "face on the dollar", who escaped the fate of a black slave and became a war hero and a feminist fighter. "Harriet" was released on a relatively small scale, and the number of theaters was only half of "Terminator: Dark Fate".
"Joker" continues to sing
has become the most popular R-rated film in film history, "Joker" continues to attract gold. North America added $3.84 million at the box office on Friday. The film was released in North America for nearly a month, and the local box office is steadily approaching $300 million.
After the end of this week, the cumulative box office revenue of "Joker" in the global market will exceed the $900 million mark. The film's final global box office will obviously not stop at this number. According to industry predictions, when the film ends its global theater screenings, TV broadcasts and home entertainment releases, this DC annual masterpiece will bring nearly $500 million in profit to the filmmakers.
