Chapter 985 "The Twilight Saga" Finale
The media and the industry believe that "007: Skyfall" is a big success and can even revive MGM, not just because of its record-setting first week box office and good reputation in North America.

In addition, its outstanding global box office performance is also one of the important reasons.

When "007: Skyfall" was released in North America, it was also released in 25 other countries and regions around the world.

"007: Skyfall" had a total box office of 9000 million US dollars in the first week in North America, and the box office in the first week outside North America was as high as 8305 million US dollars.

"007: Skyfall" had a global box office of 1.7305 million US dollars in its first week, and successfully won the global weekly box office champion!

In the 25 countries and regions where it was released around the world, "007: Skyfall" has achieved very good box office.

Especially in Bond's hometown of the United Kingdom, the film earned $5990 million in seven days of release in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

It also shattered the previous opening-week record of $5760 million set by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part [-]" last year.

It can be seen that the popularity of "007: Skyfall" in its hometown in the UK also reflects the expectations of global movie fans for Bond movies.

At the same time, along with the high box office comes a super high reputation, "more real than any previous 007 movie" is the epitome of these good reputations.

High box office + high reputation. At the same time, "007: Skyfall" will continue to expand its global release scale next week, and its global box office is likely to reach another level.

With such rapid momentum, the media and the industry are naturally very optimistic about the future box office of "007: Skyfall".

……

After "007: Skyfall" achieved excellent box office results in the first weekend, Chen Hao continued to promote "Gravity".

Soon, 2 weeks flew by.

The third film "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" launched by Liangtianchi Pictures, a subsidiary of Haotian Entertainment North America, officially landed in major theaters in North America this year.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", as the final chapter of the "Twilight Saga" series, has attracted much attention.

Since "The Twilight Saga" in 2008, with an investment of 1 million, won the North American box office of 3700 million US dollars and the global box office of 1.87 million US dollars, this series has unexpectedly become the focus of attention in the industry.

Especially after its three follow-up films repeatedly achieved box office miracles and even caused phenomenal popularity, the "Twilight Saga" series has become a world-renowned classic series of films.

As of the end of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", four of the series have been released, with a cumulative North American box office of US$4 billion and a global box office of US$4 billion.

Now, as the final chapter of this series, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is released, and it is naturally highly anticipated by the media.

The current highest box office of the series in North America is "The Twilight Saga 3" with 3.01 million US dollars, and the highest global box office is "The Twilight Saga 4: Breaking Dawn" with 7.12 million US dollars.

Everyone wants to see if this finale can create an even more astonishing box office miracle, especially if the global box office of the series can exceed 30 billion US dollars!
The major Hollywood film companies are also looking forward to the early end of this series, after all, the threat of this series is not much smaller than the "Harry Potter" series.

Fortunately, after the release of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", it is really coming to an end.

But then I thought of "The Hunger Games", its performance was even better than the box office performance of "Twilight Saga 1", and I couldn't help scratching my head.

This Quantianru Films is really outrageous in the development of series of movies, it seems that they can always find gold mines, which makes other companies envy and hate.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of major Hollywood film companies, the media and the industry, the new week's North American weekend box office rankings were freshly released.

North American weekend box office list (2012.11.16-2012.11.18):
No. 1, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", with a box office of 4 million U.S. dollars this weekend, Tianchi Pictures, with a cumulative box office of 1.413 million U.S. dollars, 1.413 theaters, and an investment cost of 4070 million U.S. dollars;
No. 2, "007: Skyfall", with a box office of 3600 million U.S. dollars this weekend, MGM, with a cumulative box office of 2.22 million U.S. dollars, 3505 theaters, and an investment cost of 1.5 million U.S. dollars;
No. 3, "Lincoln", with a box office of 2100 million US dollars this weekend, Disney, with a cumulative box office of 2241 million US dollars, 1775 theaters, and an investment cost of 6500 million US dollars;
……

After the baptism of lace news such as "Splitting the Door", the couple of the century broke up and got back together again, the finale of the "Twilight Saga" series "Breaking Dawn" was officially released last week.

Similar to the arrival of "007: Skyfall" last week, deterred by the powerful aura of "Twilight Saga Finale", other films of the same period avoided one after another to make room for the final performance of the vampire.

The vampires did not disappoint everyone either. Although horizontally compared with its own series, this highly anticipated finale always feels powerless, but with the efforts of "Breaking Dawn", as many as 2.36 million singles Weekly North American total revenue ranks sixth in film history.

仅次于2009年圣诞节《阿凡达》的2.59亿、《暗夜骑士》开画周的2.53亿、《哈利波特大结局》开画周的2.51亿、《新月》开画周的2.50亿，以及今年《复仇者联盟》开画周的2.49亿。

In order for the swan song "Dawn" of the "Twilight Saga" series to achieve the expected good results, Liangtianchi Films offered a super-large screening scale of 4070 theaters for the finale.

And its opening box office won 1.413 million U.S. dollars in three days on the weekend, and the single-house score was as high as 34717 U.S. dollars, which is also very eye-catching.

Naturally, this box office result also allowed "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" to successfully enter the list of multiple box office records in North American film history.

First of all, the first day of the film's release was November 2012, 11, with a single-day revenue of 16 million US dollars, ranking fifth in the first-day/single-day box office list in film history.

It is second only to the $9107 million on the first day of "Harry Potter Finale", $8081 million on the first day of "The Avengers", $7575 million on the first day of "The Dark Knight Rises", and $7270 million on the first day of "New Moon". Dollar;
Secondly, it earned 1.413 million U.S. dollars in the three days of the weekend, ranking second in the "Twilight" series, second only to "New Moon" with 1.42 million U.S. dollars;
Third, the opening score of US$1.413 million ranked second in the film history's November opening list, also second to "New Moon";
第四，1.413亿美元开画位列2012年开画榜第四位、影史开画榜第八位，次于《复仇者联盟》的2.07亿美金、《哈利波特大结局》的1.69亿、《黑暗骑士崛起》的1.60亿。

《暗夜骑士》的1.58亿、《饥饿游戏》的1.52亿、《蜘蛛侠3》的1.51亿、《新月》的1.42亿；
Fifth, the overall income of the release week reached 2.39 million US dollars, ranking second in the single-week income list in 2012 and sixth in the single-week income list in film history;

Sixth, the overseas box office reached 1.99 million U.S. dollars in the first week of release, including the 1.41 million U.S. dollars in the first week in North America, and the global gross income in the first week reached 3.40 million U.S. dollars, ranking eighth in film history, second only to the "Harry Potter Finale" 4.83 million.

《哈利波特与混血王子》的3.94亿、《复仇者联盟》的3.92亿、《变形金刚3》的3.82亿、《蜘蛛侠3》的3.81亿、《加勒比海盗4》的3.50亿、《加勒比海盗3》的3.44亿。

……

However, although the 1.413 million U.S. dollars opening result is not bad at all, but at the moment when the 22 million-dollar film is frequently appearing ([-] films with more than [-] million yuan have appeared), plus the title of "Big Finale", this There is always a sense of "unsatisfactory" results.

Take the most contrasting "Harry Potter" series as an example. It is also the final episode, and it is also divided into two parts. North American/Overseas Gross.

On the other hand, "Breaking Dawn" not only lost to "New Moon" in many indicators, but it is still unknown whether the final box office can break through the US$3 million of "Eclipse".

But judging from the current situation, "Breaking Dawn" has completely surpassed "Breaking Dawn" released last year, and with the help of the audience around 25 years old, there should be no problem with the total box office exceeding 2.8 million.

As for whether it can reach 3 million, it depends on whether "Dawn" can escape from the joint strangulation of "Guardian Alliance", "Life of Pi" and "Red Dawn" next week, and minimize the decline.

In fact, it stands to reason that "Breaking Dawn" should indeed perform better.

Putting aside the "big finale" effect first, only from the perspective of the news effect of "Splitting the Gate" and the two leading actors' separation and recombination, "Breaking Dawn" should have gathered enough attention.

In addition, in the past two years, the stars of each star have expanded (Robert Pattinson has "Tears for Elephants", "Pretty Friends" and "Metropolis", Taylor Lautner has "Do Not Escape", Chris Dean Stewart has "Snow White and the Huntsman").

The fan group of the three should not be limited to the "Twilight" group, but now 1+1+1 does not have a premiere score of "Siping Bastable" greater than 3.

It can only show that even though the three leading actors are working hard and exploring new performance routes, their respective fan groups are still the same group that grew up together back then, and there has not been much fluctuation.

This also explains from the side the reason why the three works of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner's "Do Not Escape" all received mediocre box office.

As for "Snow White and the Huntsman", I think it is more driven by the style of Thor Hemsworth, South African diamonds and dark fairy tales. It seems that after walking out of "Twilight", the three leading actors need more experience.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" scored 4 points from the media, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes was 52%. 49 people voted for fresh tomatoes, and 72 people voted for Rotten Tomatoes; It is not easy.

"After four years of long-distance running, this youthful series has finally reached its grand final chapter. Although the film does not faithfully follow the routine of the original book, it can still give all fans who have been looking forward to it a complete Confess!"

"It's probably the reason for splitting the film into two releases. The beginning of this film is similar to the ending of the previous one, both retaining a lengthy and ink-stained rhythm tone, but fortunately, as the story develops, it gradually returns to the right track!"

"In this movie, Kristen Stewart finally found acting. Instead of the listless girl who could do nothing but bite her lip, she showed Bella as restless, wild and even powerful for the first time. side!"

"Whether it is for fans who like this series or for haters who hate this series, this film is satisfying!"

In addition to positive reviews, there are also many negative reviews.

"After so many years, the dialogue in this series of movies is still so idiotic, the acting skills of the actors are still so bad, and the direction of the story is still so nonsensical. It's really not easy!"

"The movie is still as bad as ever. It's unbearable to see the terrible special effects in the movie!"

"It's finally over, we don't have to endure these disgusting videos of inexplicable vampires tangling back and forth once a year!"

"The ending is quite interesting, but I always feel that this is a huge joke made by the director with all audiences!"

……

Overall, the box office performance of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is still good, but it is still far from the ideal state of measuring the sky.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" obviously did not break almost all the box office records of the series like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

Judging from the current box office and word of mouth, it is really difficult for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" to break "The Twilight Saga 4"'s North American box office of US$3 million.

However, in terms of global box office, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" is slightly ahead of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", which was the highest in the previous series, and is expected to refresh the series' highest global box office record!

At that time, it will definitely help the series break through the global box office of 30 billion US dollars!

Let's look at "007: Skyfall", which was released to the third week and retired to the second place on the list. Affected by "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", the box office fell by 4% this week, which is lower than the previous series "53". : 007% of Quantum of Solace.

However, the total North American box office of "007: Skyfall" has successfully reached 2.22 million US dollars, breaking through the total North American box office of "007: Quantum of Solace" of 1.68 million US dollars, and has become the highest box office of the Bond series.

At the same time, after three weeks of its release, Skyfall has grossed $007 million worldwide.

The global box office of the film should surpass the US$007 million of "5.94: Casino Royale" next week, creating a series of new highs, becoming the first 6 movie with a global box office of more than US$007 million.

In addition, "007: Skyfall" is also expected to hit the world's highest box office record for a spy movie, currently held by Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 4" with $6.94 million.
