Chapter 1115 The record is broken
After "Fast and Furious 7" was released, it swept the entire North American and global movie box office market.

And a week later, "Fast and Furious 1" officially landed in major theaters in the mainland.

In the first week of its release, "Fast and Furious 7" won a box office of 3.98 million yuan, airborne to the top of the Mainland's weekly box office rankings!
3.98 million in the first week is undoubtedly a very good box office result, but it seems that there is still a big gap compared with the 6.92 million of "Charlotte Annoyance".

But the entire industry and the media are full of exclamations!

Because "Fast and Furious 7" was released on Sunday, that is to say, the first week of "Fast and Furious 7" has only one day, and the first week is the first day of box office!

The box office on the first day was 3.98 million yuan, which directly broke the first-day/single-day box office record in mainland film history, and brought mainland movies into the era of 3 million box office in a single day!
How can such a strong box office result not surprise people inexplicably!
Many people in the industry have a premonition that the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" is likely to explode!
Because it almost broke 4 million on the first day, and because the first week is only one day, it is not an exaggeration to say that the second week is the first week of "Fast and Furious 1".

At the same time, although 7 new films will be released in the mainland film market next week, there are no blockbuster films with box office potential. "Fast and Furious 7" will definitely sweep the mainland film market.

The result is also the same. In the second week of "Fast and Furious 7"'s release, it crazily cut a box office of 11.65 billion yuan!
The box office broke 10 billion in a single week, and the entire mainland film circle was shocked and lost its voice!

You must know that there were only 10 movies with a box office of more than 10 billion in the history of mainland movies before, and the box office of 10 billion can be said to be the box office ceiling in the mainland.

As a result, the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" exceeded 10 billion in a single week, which is really too cruel!

At the same time, "Fast and Furious 7" actually broke 8 billion yuan at the box office in 15 days in two weeks, not far from "Transformers 4" and "Charlotte Annoyance".

Chen Hao has just refreshed and regained the box office champion of mainland film history, and it is very likely that it will change hands again!

In the next week, only three new films will be released in the mainland film market, the action crime film "Spoiler" starring Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood animation film "Crazy Alien" and the domestic youth film "Left Ear".

Schwarzenegger's box office appeal in the mainland is average, and the same is true for animated films. As for the domestic youth film "Left Ear", it is even less likely to be the opponent of "Fast and Furious 7".

Therefore, in the third week, "Fast and Furious 7" once again won the weekly box office champion, with a box office of 4.53 million yuan, and the cumulative box office officially broke through 20 billion, reaching 20.16 billion!
It is inevitable to surpass "Charlotte Annoyance"!
The major theaters were in full swing, and the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" exploded, making them all a fortune.

However, the industry and many movie fans were very disappointed. "Charlotte Annoyance" just got the box office record in mainland film history, and it changed hands again in less than 2 months.

And it was once again occupied by Hollywood movies as the champion of film history!
Hollywood movies are indeed too powerful, they can be said to have swept the world, and in terms of box office combat power, only Chen Hao in the mainland can stand up to it, but it's a pity that Chen Hao didn't keep his number one position.

Fortunately, many of Chen Hao's fans and film fans said that Chen Hao still has a film "The Ancient City" to be released this year, and he should be able to regain the box office champion of film history again!
Just at this time, Haotian Films officially announced that "The Ancient City of Excellence" will be released on December 2015, 12, and Chen Hao will fight again in the Lunar New Year file!

Originally, Chen Hao wanted to set "The Ancient City of Essence" in the summer, but the blockbuster "Monster Hunt" invested by another company has already been scheduled to be released on July 7.

In order to prevent floods from flooding the Dragon King Temple, Haotian Films postponed "The Ancient City of Excellence" to the Lunar New Year file.

Hearing that "Exquisite Ancient City" was officially finalized, the media and netizens were excited for a while, wanting to see Chen Hao defeat Hollywood again and defend the glory of domestic films.

However, we have to wait 8 months before the release of "Exquisite Ancient City", and now we can only watch "Fast and Furious 7" continue to attack the city.

In the end, when "Fast and Furious 7" was released in the mainland, the box office reached 24.23 billion yuan!

Looking at the box office, countless Chinese people shook their heads and sighed. It is useless to say anything now, and the house has been stolen again!
……

In the second week of the release of "Fast and Furious 7" in the mainland, Haotian Films released the second film of this year, "All Things Grow" directed by Li Yu.

However, in the case of "Fast and Furious 7" sweeping thousands of troops and cutting 11 billion box office, "Everything Grows" only won 7200 million yuan in the first week of the box office, overwhelming "Wolf Warrior" and ranked No. 2 in the weekly box office list. [-] digits.

And in the second week, it was overwhelmed by the popular youth film "Left Ear", which received 6390 million yuan.

In the end, the total box office of "All Things Grow" totaled 1.48 million yuan!

With an investment of 3000 million, this film can be considered a small profit.

……

The time came to April 2015, 4. The mainland comedy competition reality show "Happy Comedian" produced by Haotian officially premiered on Tomato TV.

"Happy Comedian" is different from previous grass-roots selection comedy programs, which are conducted in the form of comedy stars participating.

It was launched in the form of a variety show, and was selected through program styles such as sketches, cross talk, folk art, and humorous performances, and finally the "King of Comedy" was born.

"Happy Comedian" will not only show the performances of comedians on stage, but will also show a large number of reality show parts.

For the audience, such a design will allow them to have a deeper understanding of the process of producing a "baggage" and a "book", while for the comedians themselves, the reality show part can show their sadness behind the scenes.

The special feature of "Happy Comedian" is that it is an open and inclusive stage.

The emergence of a good work is also inseparable from an open and free creative environment, and the emergence of innovative themes on this stage is also inseparable from this open platform.

It is precisely because of such a platform that the audience can experience more different excitements.

In an era of more and more reality shows, "Happy Comedian" caters to the needs of national audiences for comedy under the comprehensive preparation of sophisticated and highly creative scripts and high-quality actors.

This program lasted for three months, with a total of 70 works, all of which brought countless joys to the audience.

There are too many high-quality works on this stage, which make the audience move and think while laughing.

From the painful anti-trafficking skits to Song Xiaobao encouraging patients to fight against the disease, from Jia Lin's comedy fighting for dreams to Qiao Shan Xiurui's cherishing the present, each work brings deep thinking to the audience.

Compared with other variety shows, this show not only brings joy to the audience, but also thinks too much about current social issues.

Such works that create laughter and contain positive social energy largely reflect that the overall tone of the program of "Happy Comedian" is positive and full of creativity.

"Happy Comedian" not only catches almost all the comedy masters in the Chinese circle, but also creates an environment and a platform to make the undercurrent in the comedy circle gradually clear and clear.

This is also aimed at rebuilding a healthy competitive industry environment in the comedy circle through an opportunity for external performance, which has caused waves in the comedy circle intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, the ratings of "Happy Comedian" are not very good, especially compared to Haotian Production, which produced "Happy Girl", "The Voice of China", and "Run, Brother".

But Chen Hao still asked Long Danny to make this show, the main purpose is to cultivate some mainland comedy talents, and to give these hard-working comedians a chance to make their mark.

Of course, Chen Hao is not completely selfless. Haotian Agency took the opportunity to pack Jia Lin's team and Qiao Shan Xiurui. Variety shows are useful.

And even if the ratings are not good, "Happy Comedian" will continue to run, continue to be Haotian's agent, and cultivate and discover comedy talents for the entire circle.

……

时间进入2015年5月，在《速度与激情7》统治北美影市整整一月后，2015北美/全球票房年冠的强力种子《复仇者联盟2：奥创纪元》轰然驾到。

Under the adverse influence of the collision with the once-in-a-century monster-level "Battle of the Century", it still contributed 1.87 million U.S. dollars in the opening box office, second only to the 2.07 million of the first part of the series, ranking second in film history.

North American weekend box office list (2015.5.1-2015.5.3):
No. 1, "Avengers 2", with a weekend box office of 18765 million US dollars, Marvel Pictures, a cumulative box office of 18765 million US dollars, a scale of 4276 theaters, and a production cost of 2.5 million US dollars;

……

After half a month of silence, the North American movie market has finally ushered in the prime time of the summer vacation.

"Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", as the opening masterpiece of this year's North American summer vacation, is not afraid of the month-long madness of "Fast 7" and sweeps the world with the high profile of Marvel's second stage finale .

In the three days of the weekend, it won a box office of 1.87 million US dollars, swept the North American film market, and wrote many box office records at the same time!
First, Quantianru has opened a release scale of 4276 theaters for the film, ranking 13th in film history, after "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix";
第二、5月1日周五当天入账8446万美金，位列影史开画日、周五单日、单日收入榜第二位，仅次于2011年7月15日《哈利波特大结局》的9107万美金；
第三、5月2日周六当天入账5722万美金，位列影史周六单日收入榜第三位，次于《复仇者联盟1》（6955万）、《钢铁侠3》（6227万）；

第四、5月3日周日当天入账4597万美金，位列影史周日单日收入榜第二位，次于《复仇者联盟1》（5706万）；

Fifth, the total income of the three-day weekend was 1.87 million US dollars, ranking second in the film history May, summer, annual opening list, and three-day release list, second only to the 1 million US dollars of "Avengers 2.07";
Sixth, the three-day single-house box office on the weekend was 43886 US dollars, ranking third in the single-house revenue list of wide-level films in film history, second to "Avengers 1" with 47698 US dollars and "Hannah Montana Concert" with 45561 US dollars ;

Eighth, "Age of Ultron" opened with a box office of 1.87 million US dollars, accounting for more than 85% of the total revenue of the market, ranking first in the film history champion/market share list, and the previous champion old version "Spider-Man 3" accounted for 83% of premiere week;

Ninth, the total box office in the first week outside North America was 2.01 million US dollars, ranking 10th in film history, after "Transformers 4" (2.02 million);

Tenth, the global opening (the first week in North America + the first week overseas) is 3.88 million US dollars, ranking fifth in film history;
No.11. It took 1 days to break through 2 million US dollars, ranking the second fastest in film history, second only to "Avengers 1";
No.12. It took 1.5 days to break through 3 million US dollars, ranking the second fastest in film history, still second to "Avengers 1";
No.13. Ranked No. 2 on the opening list of artificial intelligence/robot-themed films, the previous champion was "Transformers 1.08" with [-] million;
"Avengers 2" opened well at the box office, but it didn't live up to expectations.

It has been 3 years since the last "Avengers", taking into account the overall increase in purchasing power, inflation, and the factors that have paved the way for many Marvel heroes solo.

"Age of Ultron" broke 2 million in the first week is everyone's expectation, and some even gave a forecast value of more than 2.20 million, but now "Ultron" has fallen into the 1.8 million level.

And "Fast and Furious 7" has just crushed "Harry Potter" in the world, and the "overseas box office" outside North America has entered a new era of 11 billion, which is enough for the overseas/ Two global data challenges.

For the "Avengers" who joined forces to fight monsters, the crown of the champion, which was originally a sure thing, suddenly became precarious.

In fact, the prospect of the North American region is also very delicate. After the ups and downs of "Iron Man 3" in the same period last year, the stamina of Marvel Universe works began to correct.

If "Age of Ultron" can maintain the pace of "Avengers 1", then the final accumulation will stay at around 5.6 million, and if the route of "Steel 3" is followed, it is likely to drop below 5 million!
If this situation happens unfortunately, "Star Wars 7", which focuses on the Christmas schedule, is likely to emerge suddenly, impacting the status of "Ultron" in 2015.

However, there is also a reason why "Ultron" has changed from a one-sided victory to a multi-party melee.

"Avengers 3" 1 years ago was the first time that a number of first-line superheroes were brought together in a live-action form after 10 years of operation.

For comic fans in the United States and even the world, this is definitely a "milestone" major event, enough to be remembered in history, and it has formed a phenomenal box office hit.

But today, after several years of expansion of the comic adaptation series, especially "Multi-hero series" such as "American Team 2" (American Team + Black Widow + Hawkeye), "Superman 2" (Master + Superman + Wonder Woman), etc. "The launch of the project.

"Age of Ultron" has been unable to replicate the freshness of the time.

Another important reason is that it collided with the "Battle of the Century", a boxing match in which a ticket was fired to 14 US dollars, and one player's appearance fee exceeded the entire opening of "Ultra". People are dumbfounded.

Not only are all the hotels near the Las Vegas game venue fully booked, but many large media platforms will broadcast live broadcasts (of course, for a fee). This is the main reason for the sharp drop in the box office of "Ultron" on Saturday reason.

After all, the movie will be released for a long time, and the live game is only once.

If you think about it from this perspective, then "Age of Ultron" has not lost about 2000 million customers compared with the first part of the series, but it is similar to the Blizzard factor when "Avatar" was released.

Part of the passenger flow will rebound in the second week, and then there will be a miracle of zero decline in the second week of "Avatar", so the final performance of "Ultron" depends on its performance in the second week.

Let’s talk about the film itself. Under the overall creation of Haotian Entertainment, the Marvel Universe series is gradually moving closer to "serious light comedy".

Various gags and humorous ditties are interspersed during the period, and basically there will be no dark style and grinning death plots (the so-called "grinning death" refers to Batman's dead girlfriend and Spiderman's dead girlfriend).

In addition, the funny style developed by "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ant-Man" is more in line with the overall family carnival, and it is even more lively for the audience. Anyway, the important things will not die.

But the problem also arises, the benchmark of Nolan's "Batman" is too high, how can it be done without exploring the connotation and digging into ethics! ?
So "Steel 3" created a psychological shadow, "Beauty 2" created a brotherhood, and "Ultra" was all about facing one's own fears.

Although there is a certain sense of separation from the main line, it is likely to be a preparation for the dark line of "Doctor Strange" and the "Reunion" civil war of "American Team 3". Do you have the mental capacity to accept brotherhood?

Therefore, "Age of Ultron" is still the old step, the appearance of multi-person cooperation, and the division of internal small fights; while leaving enough display space for each superhero, it ensures the continuous release of combined skills.

The three-stage group fights are interspersed with the plot to advance, and the decisive battle is dominated by random words. It focuses on the densely packed group of heroes of the same magnitude as the New York War.

As for the final global box office, it is likely to be dominated by Chinese audiences like "Fast and Furious 7"!
