Reference News Network reported on November 6 that foreign media said that the movie "Terminator: Dark Fate" topped the latest North American weekend box office list, but the results did not meet expectations. Paramount Pictures and Sky Dance Media’s sequel to this sci-fi film premiered in North America at a box office of 29 million U.S. dollars on weekends (1 U.S. dollar is approximately RMB 7.04-Note on this website). According to a report on the website of "Variety" Weekly in the United States on November 3, although "Terminator: Dark Fate" won the first place in the North American weekend box office chart, given the film's budget of up to 185 million US dollars, its premiere weekend box office results were not not optimistic.
reported that "Terminator: Dark Fate" may not be the only film that has encountered dark fate in the cinema. "The Brooklyn Secret" directed by Edward Norton barely made it into the top ten. The film was released in 2720 theaters in North America, with a box office of only 3.6 million US dollars. This crime film based on Jonathan Lutham’s novel cost 26 million US dollars.
In contrast, another new film, Focus Entertainment Film Company's "Harriet" North American box office results are much better. The film was released in 2,059 theaters and won $12 million at the box office, ranking fourth, exceeding expectations.
At the same time, "Joker" produced by Warner Bros. ranked second, with a box office of more than $13 million on the fifth weekend of the show.
According to a report on the Spanish "Le Monde" website on November 4, "Terminator: Dark Fate" had a box office of only $29 million in North America during the first weekend of its release. This unsatisfactory result indicates that this IP film (that is, a film adapted from intellectual property-this website note) may be on the road of loss.
starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, and James Cameron as the producer and screenwriter of the film not only did not win the favor of domestic audiences, but also had a mediocre response in the international market. Considering that the theater has to take half of the box office revenue, and subtract the investment in production, distribution, and promotion, then this IP film may eventually become a loss-making film. According to sources, Tianwu Media, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox, which are the co-investors of the film, may end up with nothing. If the box office decline continues for several weeks and cannot be reversed strongly, the loss will be between 120 million and 130 million US dollars.
For Tianwu Media, this blow is particularly heavy. In order to film the franchise rights of the "Terminator" series of films and persuade the old filmmaker Cameron to return, Sky Dance Media has laid its blood. However, neither Schwarzenegger nor Hamilton helped this old classic film get back to life. If Tianwu Media suffers a disastrous defeat this time, the "Terminator" series of movies is likely to be completely "end".

Reference News Network reported on October 30 that British media claimed that the longest-lived animated feature film was not produced by Walt Disney, but by a German puppet artist named Lot Reinig. .
According to a report on the website of the British "Dialogue" magazine on October 24, this person had escaped Nazi persecution and moved to London, where he produced advertisements for the British Post. Her film "The Adventures of Prince Ahmed" (1926) is a masterpiece of creativity and technology that has had a huge impact on the subsequent generation of animators, including those working in the United States.
But with the rise of Disney and the dominant position of American film studios, Reiniger's name has largely disappeared from people's vision. However, in recent years, as fans have shared her work on social media and her work can be viewed online, her contribution to the development of animated films is becoming more and more well-known. When
was still 6 years old, Reinig was obsessed with the craft of making paper-cut silhouettes. According to her biographers, when she was a child, she would spend several hours cutting out various characters from paper.
Reinig was influenced by the pioneering special effects films of French magician and film director George Mélière, and sought to use stop-motion animation technology to make his paper-cut characters active on the screen for a career.
Reinig was initially trained as an actor and was once a member of an influential circle of German artists-other members include Berto Brecht, Fritz Lang and G·W · Pabst. She made animations for some of their more famous expressionist works, including the lifelike dream scenes in the first episode of Fritz Lang's two-episode fantasy epic film "The Ring of Nibelung" (1924). Reinig saw the value of animation in presenting imaginative storytelling.
Reiniger focuses on the technical and expressive capabilities that her iconic 2D silhouette animation can provide.
The production level of "The Adventures of Prince Ahmed" is relatively simple and elementary. With the cooperation of a team of only 5 people, Reiniger designed and drew all the silhouettes by himself, and filmed the animation frame by frame in a friend's garage. She took 5 years to complete this process.
reported that perhaps the most important thing is that by placing her silhouette figures on different planes stacked in a horizontal direction with alternating heights, and then photographing them from above, she invented a way to make the flat animation unit three-dimensional Sense of technology. This technology has almost become the inspiration for Disney's own multi-plane cameras. This camera is one of the key technological inventions. It is said that it allowed Disney to get rid of a number of American competitors from its rise to the dominance of the industry in the 1930s and 1940s.

Reference News Network reported on October 29 that As of 9:20 on October 29, Beijing time, the global box office revenue of the movie "Joker" reached approximately US$852 million (1 US dollar is approximately RMB 7.07-Note on this website).
According to a report by CNN on October 25, this comic-based film about the origin of the super villain in Batman comics has become the world’s highest grossing restricted film in history.
This movie starring Joaquin Phoenix tells the story of a tragic man who became a "clown" killer, which is enough to surpass the global box office record of $783 million set by "Deadpool" released in 2016. The
report believes that this movie may be the world's highest-grossing restricted film, but it still has a long way to go to beat the highest-grossing restricted film in the United States. The record for the highest-grossing restricted film in the United States still belongs to "The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson. The film won US$370 million in box office in North America in 2004. And "Joker" so far has a box office of $278 million in the United States.
It is reported that "Joker" broke the North American box office record when it was released in October this year, reaching 9,600Ten thousand U.S. dollars. Although the violent scenes dissatisfied film critics, the film was able to attract audiences.
Comsco Analytics Senior Media Analyst Paul Degarabedian said: “The Joker has indeed achieved amazing success. Despite security concerns, controversies and gloomy topics, the film’s global audience The number has broken the record." The
report believes that as Hollywood enters the awards season, this Warner Bros. Pictures movie may continue to build momentum. This film has won the Best Picture Award at the Venice Film Festival, and critics praised Phoenix's acting skills. Sean Robbins, chief analyst at
CNN, said: “If the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ignores Phoenix’s acting skills, it’s really surprising. Even though this film has caused a lot of controversy, people seem to agree. One point is that Phoenix presented Oscar-level works."
