备受瞩目的《黑客帝国3》本周末终于在北美地区推出, 但5020万美元首映成绩却比今年5月《黑客帝国2》9300多万美元的纪录略显逊色, 令不少忠实影迷颇为意外。

根据票房统计, 从周五到今天周日为止, 《黑客帝国3》北美地区票房收入为5020万美元，如果从11月5日全球同步公映当天开始算起，累计5天以来北美票房收入则为8550万美元。

Although film critics generally reacted indifferently to "The Matrix 2", under the strong support of enthusiastic fans, "The Matrix 2"'s North American box office revenue rushed to 1 million US dollars in just four days after its release.

In contrast, "The Matrix 3", which fans have been waiting for for a long time, has also been criticized by many film critics this time, but the box office revenue in North America for five days after its release was 8550 million US dollars, which is indeed a bit worse than "The Matrix 2". cut.

The approaching Christmas atmosphere has begun to spread in North American theaters this week, and the comedy "Christmas Elves" ranked second with 3200 million US dollars in debut revenue.

Disney's new animated film "Legend of Brother Bear" has kept its decline well under control, maintaining its ranking from last week with an income of 1860 million US dollars, still ranking third.

《电锯惊魂2》本周跌幅达到了44.75%，仅以1685万美元排名榜单的第4位，与上周相比下降了3个排位。

Judging from the current box office performance, it is impossible for "Chain Saw 2" to exceed 8000 million in North America, and the final box office score should be around [-] million US dollars.

However, starting this week, "Chain Saw 2" will be released globally, and we look forward to a good result.

……

At the same time, Chen Hao and Downey are busy participating in various talk show promotional programs arranged by Sony Columbia for "District [-]".

"How do you feel?" Chen Hao looked at the slightly silent Downey and asked.

On the talk show I participated in today, the host repeatedly mentioned Downey's experience of drug use in the past many years.

Ask Downey what he thought, how did he feel when his ex-wife left him?Has the prodigal son really come back?

Chen Hao frowned when he heard it, and was stopped by Tang Ni when he wanted to attack, and then Yun Qingfeng calmly talked about his scars, and sneered at the host by the way. constipation.

"It's okay, if I can't face this directly, then it means I will never get out, doesn't it?" Downey took a deep breath.

"You are a real warrior!" Chen Hao patted Downey on the shoulder and said.

"I have to thank you for all of this, Chen." Downey looked at Chen Hao seriously and said, "Without you, I don't know what I would be like now!"

Chen Hao pretended to shudder, and quickly touched his arms, "Go away, I'm a straight man, I don't like men!"

Downey, who was sincerely thanking him, turned dark when he heard the words, "I don't like men either!"

Chen Hao smiled and said, "If you treat me as a friend, don't be polite!" Then he turned and left.

Downey looked at Chen Hao's figure, sighed, smiled, and chased after him!

Back in Beverly Hills, Chen Hao had nothing to do after taking a shower. He turned on his computer and found that Hao Yi had sent him an email.

After clicking on it, I found that it was the box office of "Taken", but it was as of November 11.

In addition, there is also the box office of "The Hulk". It has been 5 weeks since its release, and the box office of "The Hulk" is less than 800 million yuan, which is a mess.

On November 11th, "The Matrix 5" was released, and the box office of all films was greatly affected.

Chen Hao looked at the box office of "The Incredible Hulk" and shook his head. Li Press fell miserably this time, and it is probably impossible to direct a major A-level commercial film in the future.

However, as a master of literature and art, Li Yin can also shoot literary films. The two Oscars for best director in the future are indeed awesome!
Thinking of "The Incredible Hulk" and thinking of Downey, Chen Hao sat up straight in an instant. How could he forget the Marvel superhero universe!
The current Marvel is not the superhero concentration camp that swept the world and flourished in later generations!
Founded in 1939, Marvel has encountered multiple bankruptcy crises in its 64-year history, and finally survived with "Fantastic Four" and "Spider-Man".

In 1991, Marvel went public, but the expansion failed, and it soon incurred huge debts, and was forced to sell superhero copyrights to survive.

"X-Men", "Daredevil", "Fantastic Four", "Silver Surfer", "Daredevil" were sold to [-]th Century Fox, "Ghost Rider", "Spiderman", " Venom is owned by Sony Columbia.

"Hulk" was sold to Universal, and "Blade" was sold to New Line and so on.

Everyone knows "The Avengers" in the previous life, and several important characters in it have their own independent movies or TV series.

It is strange that the well-known "Hulk" does not have its own independent film series.

The main reason is that the copyright is in the hands of Universal, and the Hulk can be in the Marvel Universe because the two companies have formed a cooperative lease relationship.

The sad thing is that Marvel can also make a "Hulk" movie, but the distribution rights are in the hands of Universal, which means that when and how the movie will be released are all up to them.

It's all like this, unless Marvel is stupid, it will make the "Hulk" series of movies.

Of course, Universal also released "The Incredible Hulk" and "The Incredible Hulk" in 2003 and 2008 respectively, but they both failed in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.

And in later generations, with the end of "Avengers 4", it is estimated that "Hulk" will hardly have the opportunity to shoot his own independent film again!

The same is true for "Spider-Man", which is also a partnership between Marvel and Columbia.

However, the two parties failed to negotiate the distribution of benefits, which led to the breakdown of the cooperation. Dutch beans may never appear in the Marvel superhero universe again!
