Chapter 958 Breaking the box office record in North American film history (6000 words)
"After one and a half months of filming, "Gravity" is officially finished!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
""Gravity" has officially ended its filming and is now in post-production!" --- Netease Entertainment
""Gravity" is finished, and the sword is pointing to the summer file!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

While Chen Hao was still enjoying the wrap-up feast, the media had already released the news about the wrap-up of "Gravity".

It took one and a half months to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of 1 million US dollars, which can be called amazing speed.

But thinking about it being Chen Hao, who is known as a quick shooter, and only transferred to post-production, everyone is relieved!
Qinglian Earth: It's finished so quickly, you deserve to be a quick shooter!But I still hope that it can be released sooner and sooner!

China Entertainment Reporter: After resting for a year, Chen Hao has regained his true nature of a fast boy. Will there be a second film released this year?
Fax. : The speed can be faster, I can't wait!

I am 1875: Hurry up and release "Titanic 3D"!

Naruse Kawanaru: Looking forward to the summer vacation in August!

……

Chen Hao's movie fans have long been waiting eagerly, hoping to see "Gravity" immediately.

The major film companies are ready to adjust their film schedules, and August is destined to belong to Chen Hao's schedule.

At the same time, major media are also speculating whether "Gravity" can kill "Titanic 3D" and win the 2012 annual box office champion for domestic films!

This year, besides Chen Hao, Feng Dapao and Chen Kaige also have films released, and Cheng Long also brought "Zodiac", which he wrote, directed and acted in.

However, limited by the subject matter, the media is not very optimistic about Feng Dapao's "[-]" and Chen Kaige's "Search".

As for Cheng Long, every one of his works is a hit movie, but since entering the new century, Cheng Long has not won the annual crown once, so the competitiveness of "Zodiac" is open to question.

It seems that only Chen Hao's "Gravity" is really capable and has been given high hopes.

As for "The Avengers", based on the results of previous superhero movies and Hollywood blockbusters directed by Chen Hao in the Mainland, the domestic box office of "The Avengers" should not be as good as the domestic film "Gravity".

At this time, "Titanic 3D" exceeded everyone's expectations. It has already won a box office of 9 million yuan, and it is only one step away from becoming the fourth film in mainland film history to break 4 billion at the box office.

It seems that Chen Hao can only rely on "Titanic 3D" to regain the annual box office champion of domestic films!
It can be said that Chen Hao has been given high hopes by the entire industry and all movie fans!

Of course, Chen Hao also wants to win the annual championship, but it is too early to think about it, and in the end, the audience has the final say. The only thing he can do is to make "Gravity" and then submit it to the audience for inspection.

After the wrap-up banquet, the crew disbanded immediately, and Chen Hao went home directly.

"Duoduo!" Chen Hao went to find his precious son as soon as he got home.

The little guy was very cute, looking at it, Chen Hao really wanted to kiss him directly, but under Yaya's warning eyes, he could only rub his face against the little guy.

"Why did you come back directly?" Yaya asked, "Don't you want to edit the movie?"

"The "Avengers" is going to be released soon, and I have to run to promote it tomorrow." Chen Hao said, "I will edit "The Avengers" after it is released. Anyway, there are still special effects in the post-production, so don't worry."

Ya Ya heard the words and nodded.

"Ah... ah..." the little guy suddenly called out.

Chen Hao coaxed and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Yaya came over and said, "I just fed it, see if the diaper is full?"

Chen Hao put the little guy down after hearing the words, and tried it, "It's quite heavy."

After finishing speaking, Chen Hao went to pick up the diapers and prepared to change them for his precious son.

"Let me do it!" Yaya said.

"No, I'll do it!" Chen Hao pouted Yaya and said.

"Would you know it?" Yaya laughed.

"What's so difficult about it!" Chen Hao said with a smile, "I'm a genius, my grass (a kind of plant), bah bah bah... this little bastard actually yelled at me, bah bah bah..."

But when Chen Hao untied the little guy's diaper, the little guy urinated again, and it was the kind that urinates against the wind, a perfect parabola hit Chen Hao's face directly!
"Hahaha..." Seeing this, Yaya immediately bent over with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Mother Chen came over and asked.

"Duoduo pissed... haha... pissed... peed on his father's face, hahaha... ouch, I laughed so hard..." Yaya couldn't stop laughing.

Chen's mother was happy when she heard the words, "As expected of my grandson, he urinates so high!"

Chen Hao's face turned green when he heard this, "This little guy actually dares to yell at his father."

"Go, go, wash off quickly, don't bully my grandson." Mother Chen directly slapped Chen Hao away.

Chen Hao could only wash his face depressed.

At night, Yaya couldn't help laughing when she saw Chen Hao's face.

Chen Hao knew what Yaya meant, and directly suppressed the beautiful woman viciously, "Laugh, still laugh, is it so funny?"

"Um...ah! No...not funny, hahaha...uh..."

"Since you want to laugh, I'll let you laugh!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Well……"

……

The next day, Chen Hao rubbed the little guy's face, teased him for a while, and then left to start the promotion of "The Avengers" in the mainland.

The publicity is mainly about Chen Hao and Deng Chao together, while the other 5 leading actors have a crazy road show in the United States.

很快4天的时间转眼即逝，《复仇者联盟》正式在2012年5月4日登陆北美和华夏等11个国家。

Most of the audience in the mainland came for Chen Hao's new film. The Marvel superhero movie universe is not so famous in the mainland at this time, and its attraction is not as good as Chen Hao.

But in North America, Chen Hao's signature is not as good as Marvel's 6 superheroes!

After all, Marvel can be said to have accompanied the childhood of all Americans until now, coupled with the foreshadowing of the previous five Marvel superhero movies, making "The Avengers" the best choice to beat "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" The most anticipated masterpiece of the year.

It is an exaggeration to say that almost all Americans are looking forward to this super giant system of superheroes.

Some hardcore Marvel superhero fans have already crowded the official website of Marvel Entertainment to express their expectations and excitement.

At the same time, before the film was released, not only Tianchi and Sony Columbia were frantically promoting it, but the media also spontaneously reported that "The Avengers" was about to be released shockingly.

The forecasting agency in the industry also estimated the opening box office of "The Avengers".

The estimated result is that the opening day box office will be around 7000 million US dollars, while the first weekend opening score will be around 1.7 million US dollars.

You must know that the North American opening weekend box office record at this time is "Harry Potter 7" with 1.69 million US dollars, which means that the industry is optimistic that "The Avengers" will set a new North American film history first weekend box office record!

It shows how optimistic the North American film market is about "The Avengers"!

It can be said that North American movie fans, the industry, the media and theaters are all looking forward to the shocking performance of this 2012 North American summer season.

At the same time, Liang Tianchi is naturally looking forward to the world-shaking box office results of the final chapter of the first phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe.

This will be the best summary of Liang Tianchi Films and Marvel Entertainment's 4 years of foreshadowing, and it will also be a key link in the second phase of the next Marvel superhero movie universe.

What's more, the negotiation between Liangtianchi Pictures and the six major Hollywood giants including Disney, Warner Bros., and Sony Columbia is reaching an impasse.

At the same time, the success or failure of "The Avengers" will affect Liang Tianchi's plan to acquire MGM to a certain extent.

To a certain extent, "The Avengers" is only allowed to succeed, not to fail!
The six Hollywood giants such as Disney and Warner Bros. are somewhat contradictory. They hope that "The Avengers" will be a big success, so that they can sit back and enjoy the benefits after buying shares, and increase a huge amount of income every year.

But I was also worried that "The Avengers" would be too successful, which would lead to a big opening, asking for too high a price and paying too much.

On the contrary, MGM Holdings hopes that "The Avengers" will be as successful as it can be. It is best to kill "Avatar" directly and be crowned the world's box office champion.

In this way, Marvel Entertainment can be sold at a good price, and MGM Holdings can also sell the hot potato of MGM Group, which is a hot potato, for a high price!
It can be said that the release of "The Avengers" has gathered the attention of all North American media, movie fans, the industry, the six giants of Hollywood, MGM Holdings and Liang Tianchi Films.

The release of "The Avengers" is not just the success or failure of a film, its box office performance will even affect the future pattern of Hollywood to a certain extent!

Whether Tianchi can eat MGM and become a new, real, veritable seventh Hollywood giant, it's all in one fell swoop!

Therefore, the North American release of "The Avengers" is definitely highly anticipated!
In Huaxia, there were not so many conflicts of interests involved. Although Chen Hao was also concerned about the box office, after the promotion ended, Chen Hao hid in the editing room and started the post-production of "Gravity".

Soon, 3 days passed and a new week came.

When Chen Hao just came to Haotian Building and was about to continue editing "Gravity", Sister Shi found him.

"The box office results of "The Avengers" are out," Sister Shi said.

"North American?" Chen Hao asked.

Obviously, Chen Hao is still very concerned about the North American box office of "The Avengers". After all, it is related to Liang Tianchi's future development plan, and it is impossible for Chen Hao to turn a blind eye.

"Both those from the Mainland and North America have come out." Sister Shi said, shaking the documents in her hand.

"Then, let's talk about the box office in the mainland first!" Chen Hao paused.

Sister Shi smiled when she heard the words, "Why don't you watch it yourself!"

After finishing speaking, Sister Shi put the document on the desk in front of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao frowned, then picked up the file and read it.

In last week's weekly box office rankings in Mainland China, "The Avengers" was the first one. Chen Hao is not surprised at all. The key is how much the first week's box office results are!

2.09 billion RMB!

This box office result is very good, breaking the first-week box office record of a Hollywood film directed by Chen Hao in the mainland.

At the same time, it is also the second-best first-week box office performance after "Inception"'s 2.13 million yuan.

However, compared with the RMB 3 million in the first week of "Titanic 4.67D", it is more than 2 times worse.

It seems that before, the media was not optimistic that "The Avengers" could beat the box office of "Titanic 3D" is indeed very reasonable.

Looking at the second place on the list, it is still "Titanic 2D". It is already the 3th week of its release, and it can still win 5 million yuan. This box office result is simply amazing.

Chen Hao also realized that if "The Avengers" wants to kill "Titanic 3D", it is estimated that the hope is slim. It seems that the only hope is "Gravity"!

Afterwards, Chen Hao turned the page directly, looking at the North American box office results of "The Avengers", which is the most important thing.

North American weekend box office list (2012.5.4-2012.5.6):
No. 1, "The Avengers", with a box office of 20030 million US dollars this weekend, Tianchi Pictures, with a cumulative box office of 20030 million US dollars, 4349 theaters, and an investment cost of 2 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Think Like a Man", with a box office of 800 million US dollars this weekend, Sony Zhenscreen, with a cumulative box office of 7302 million US dollars, 2010 theaters, a decrease of 54.6% compared with last week, and an investment cost of 1200 million US dollars;
No. 3, "The Hunger Games", with a box office of 570 million US dollars this weekend, Tianchi Pictures, with a cumulative box office of 38072 million US dollars, 2794 theaters, a decrease of 47.3% compared with last week, and an investment cost of 7800 million US dollars;
……

In the first week of the 2012 North American summer season, the box office champion belongs to "The Avengers"!
It swept away thousands of troops with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, and created a great career in the history of the planet that broke through the box office of 2 million US dollars at the opening of the painting!

Talking and laughing instantly killed the legendary records written by predecessors such as "Batman 2: The Dark Knight", "Harry Potter 7", "Twilight 4".

Faced with the crazy scenes of "The Avengers" raging around the world, everyone can only prostrate and worship such miracles.

Throughout the history of global film, this week has been the opening banner of the summer season over the years, and there has never been a shortage of box office blockbusters.

But neither "Iron Man", "Thor", "Spiderman" or Tom Cruise failed to help the market's total hit 2 million US dollars.

And the "Women's Federation" set a new film history record without any suspense, and its box office was nearly double that of "Thor" leading the week in the same period last year!

Other films are scattered for fear of avoiding them. What is even more exaggerated is that even the overall ratings of American dramas have dropped sharply this week, which proves that these "nerds" who were originally watching TV have been dragged to theaters. This shows that the "Women's Federation" called for The metamorphosis of power is powerful.

Next, let's take a look at the various lists that have been turned upside down by "The Avengers"!

First of all, due to the fact that it was released in North America a week earlier in overseas regions, the overseas opening of "The Avengers" should be last week, and the overseas box office in the first week was 1.85 million US dollars, ranking ninth in film history.

Secondly, the overseas opening of US$1.85 million plus the first week of North America of US$2 million, the global opening of US$3.85 million ranks third in film history, second only to the US$7 million of "Harry Potter 4.83" (Part 6) , and $3.94 million for Harry Potter [-];
Third, the premiere scale of 4349 theaters ranks seventh in the list of premieres and largest releases in film history, second only to "The Twilight Saga: Lunar Eclipse" (3) and "Iron Man 4468" (2) Home).

《哈利波特7》(下)(4375家)、《暗夜骑士》(4366家)、《加勒比海盗3》(4362家)、《怪物史莱克4》(4349家)；

Fourth, the total revenue of Thursday's midnight show (2500 theaters) was US$1870 million, which beat "The Dark Knight" and successfully rewritten the midnight show record for "superhero" movies.

同时放眼影史排名第八位，次于《哈利波特7》(下)(4350万)、《破晓》(上)(3030万)、《月食》(3010万)、《新月》(2630万)。

《哈利波特7》(上)(2400万)、《哈利波特6》(2220万)，以及刚刚由《饥饿游戏》创下的1875万；
Fifth, the income on Friday reached an astonishing 8051 million US dollars, far exceeding the industry's expected 7000 million level!
拿下影史周五、影史单日、影史开画日票房榜三榜亚军，仅次于《哈利波特7》(下)于2011年7月15日创下的9107万美元；
Sixth, on Saturday, it continued to earn 6970 million U.S. dollars in a single day, surpassing the 3 million U.S. dollars of "Spider-Man 5133" and rewriting the Saturday single-day box office record;

Seventh, another $5010 million was earned in a single day on Sunday, surpassing the $4359 million of "The Dark Knight" and rewriting the single-day box office record on Sunday;

Eighth, a total of 2.003 million US dollars was earned in the three days of the weekend, surpassing the 1.69 million US dollars of "Harry Potter Finale" (Part [-]), rewriting the record for the first week of film history;
At the same time, it ranks among the film history's opening records in May, the film history's summer film opening records, and the PG-13 film's first week of drawing records;
Ninth, the income of a single hall is as high as 46057 US dollars, beating the 45561 US dollars of "Hannah Montana Concert" and ranking first in film history;

Tenth, it became the fastest film in film history to exceed 1 million US dollars, which took 2 days;
It became the fastest film in film history to exceed 1.5 million US dollars in 2 days (the original record was 7 days in "Harry Potter 3" (Part [-]));

It became the fastest film in film history to break through 2 million US dollars, and it took 3 days (the original record was 3 days for "The Dark Knight");

No.11, ranked first in the supply scale, opening, total box office, etc. of "Avengers" themed works in the past;
No.12, breaking all the records of superhero-themed films, which will not be listed here, including the first day, single day, first week, release scale, etc.

Looking at the overall box office, for "The Hunger Games", the box office is 3 to 4, and for "The Avengers", it is obviously 4 to 5!

It is believed that this film will be able to break through the 3 million online releases of the two "Iron Man" films in the weekend of the second week. Since "Shadow of Darkness", "Super Battleship" and even "Men in Black 3" behind them all have little competitive pressure, they will exceed 5 million. Billion and catch up with "The Dark Knight" is quite hopeful.

At the same time, the film's comprehensive media rating is 69 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 93%!

It has the same score as "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight", second only to "Iron Man" with 94%!Ranked among the top three superhero movies!
221 people voted for fresh tomatoes, and 16 people voted for rotten tomatoes, a scene of great prosperity!
"It is definitely a feat to bring new creativity to the already stereotyped superhero movie!"

"Director Chen is the real superhero. The film not only shows his enthusiasm as a comic fan, but also incorporates his own in-depth thinking on comics and movies!"

"It's amazing how much genuine pathos, humor and surprise are mixed in with the action and stunt scenes. Director Chen not only makes this film a commercial hit, but he also arranges a very personal one. A special touch of style, and everything goes to perfection!"

"Almost meets the needs of all superhero fans. The superheroes on the screen are no longer strange costumes, but flesh and blood images!"

"The combination of personal heroism and humor is just right, and the personality and characteristics of each superhero are preserved to the greatest extent, while sublimating the overall plot!",
"It is also a director, but there is no other director who can ignite the passion from the beginning to the end like Chen Hao, and make the 2-hour journey so short!"

"It's amazing how, even though each superhero gets unequal minutes, each character gets the most out of it and the audience is satisfied!"

……

At the same time, the box office performance of "The Avengers" in the overseas film market is also quite strong, with a cumulative box office of 4.41 million US dollars in two weeks, making the film's global total revenue exceed 2 million US dollars after 6.41 weeks.

Following this trend, the final global box office of "The Avengers" is basically certain to exceed $10 billion.

Become "Titanic", "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", "Lord of the Rings 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest", "Batman Episode 2", "Avatar", "Alice in Adventures" wonderland".

《玩具总动员3》、《加勒比海盗4：惊涛骇浪》、《变形金刚3》、《哈利波特7》之后，全球第12部票房破10亿美元的影片！

It will also break the box office record of "Inception" and become Chen Hao's first film with a global box office breaking 10 billion US dollars!

After the first weekend box office of "The Avengers" came out, the North American media and the industry were naturally shocked and envious.

Liang Tianchi Pictures is naturally happy. Obviously, the Marvel superhero movie universe can be said to be done, and the second phase can be considered to officially start the layout.

At the same time, Liang Tianchi Films plans to sell the shares of Marvel Entertainment and the plan to acquire MGM Group can also carry out substantive negotiations. Liang Tianchi Pictures is close to becoming the seventh largest Hollywood giant!
MGM Holdings is also very happy. Obviously, there is no need to worry that Liang Tianchi will not be able to pay, and MGM Holdings, a hot potato, will rot in his hands.

Corresponding to it are the six giants of Hollywood such as Disney, Sony Columbia and Warner Bros.

The success of "The Avengers" will definitely increase the value of Marvel Entertainment. They must end the negotiation as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that the asking price of Liang Tianchi Pictures will continue to rise with the growth of the "Avengers" box office.

However, these six giants are also divided into two situations, one is able to provide money, and the other is unable to provide money.

Companies such as Disney and Warner Bros. have relatively abundant financial flows, while Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Sony Columbia are relatively poor.

Regardless of the fact that Paramount has been ranked No. 2 in the annual box office of Hollywood giants for many years, and even reached the top last year, but because of the global economic downturn, he was blood drawn by the group behind him, so his own capital flow is insufficient.

However, 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Sony Columbia have been ranked lower in recent years. Coupled with the economic downturn, there is not much money in hand.

If all of them are used to purchase the equity of Marvel Entertainment, then their own annual plans may be affected.

Therefore, what is the final transaction price of Marvel Entertainment's equity, and how many of the Hollywood Six can get a stake, and there is still talk!
