Chapter 286 North American box office records keep breaking
"Source Code" completed a big reversal in North America, causing an unparalleled huge success in front of everyone's eyes. When the box office of this movie can directly exceed 1000 million US dollars in a single day, many endings of this movie will In fact, it is already quite obvious.

When the news reached China, everyone was overjoyed and felt that a huge energy was gradually emerging and exploding.

While many people felt quite shocked, they also applauded Chen Xi's "Source Code" in their hearts. Obviously, this is not a movie about fighting in the nest. There are too many things shown in the movie, and it also brings you Too much shock.

After all, such a movie is going to make everyone feel extremely shocked.

"Chen Xi strikes overseas! The box office of "Source Code" exceeded 3000 million US dollars in the first week!"

"The best Chinese film box office since "Hero"! "Source Code" broke records in the North American market!"

"3000 million a week! "Source Code" is very popular in North America!"

A lot of news is constantly appearing now, and these news are also very popular in the mainland. All of a sudden, the entire mainland film industry and even the entire entertainment industry are feeling a huge shock because of this incident. At the same time, they There was also an unavoidable excitement about the news.

Chen Xi is really too strong!
In fact, many people have a dream in their hearts after all, especially a dream that many places in China will surpass foreign countries. This is unavoidable. What good results have come out? Many good Chinese films in the past, especially the achievements of Chinese films in the North American market, are almost collapsing now, although there are still films like "Hero" firmly standing in the North American market. The peak of the box office, but these Chinese movies have weakened, which is something everyone can see.

Although Chinese films still occupy some positions, it is difficult to have any follow-up power.

Many people feel that the current position of Chinese films just needs to be overturned all the time, and more and more films will gradually break through the advantages of Chinese-language films in the North American box office market, and overthrow all these things one by one. .

However, now suddenly a Chen Xi is born, with a feeling of comeback, "Raid", "Xiu Chun Knife" and even now "Source Code", the influence of his movies is growing wildly, he is in The commercial value obtained in North America is also surging.

The box office of more than 3000 million US dollars in the first week, according to various sharing agreements, will also have about [-] million yuan of box office into the account of Deep Space Film and Television, which will easily recover the cost and make a lot of money. The current deep space film and television provides some necessary financial support for many large-scale constructions, which will allow Chen Xi and the others to have a relatively large relaxation of their increasingly stretched funds.

...Of course, these things are nothing compared to the fact that "Source Code" has achieved such a high achievement in the North American box office, because the North American box office of "Source Code" is really too high, and this is only a week .

Many Chinese movie fans now have an exciting feeling. They can't help cheering and cheering for what Chen Xi has obtained now.

awesome!
Many people feel a strong sense of excitement in their hearts, and what has been obtained so far in "Source Code" really makes people feel particularly excited.

"China's next national teacher! And compared to Zhang Guoshi, the current Chen Xi has brought more things, and it seems that he has a much broader prospect and future than Zhang Guoshi. From now on, Chen Xi also He already has many types of movies, and judging by his creative talent, he will direct more and more movies, and they will be better and better."

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say this. Under the background that many people are very excited, what Chen Xi has obtained is obvious to all, especially the achievements in the box office. This is a real thing, which is difficult for others to obtain. .

To judge what a director may get in some places, we can basically only start with the two things of box office and awards. After all, in front of many other things, awards and box office are relatively fair.

Moreover, this kind of thing is basically impossible for others to take away, and it is difficult to give people a handle on what is controversial.

If a person has won some relatively large awards, some people may be sour, but in fact these sour people can't tell much reason, and many of their theories are actually untenable. From this point of view, many things are still relatively difficult to be questioned.

There may be some movies that some people say are super good movies, which can be said to be a masterpiece of a director, but some people may still sneer at them, thinking that there is nothing to sell at all, so these movies are often seen. Questions come and go, and eventually become a battlefield where many people attack each other, but if you get awards and the like, if they are really good and relatively fair awards, then many doubts about these things are untenable feet.

And the box office is even more so. Even if some people think that the word-of-mouth of some movies is not worthy of the box office of that movie, at least the box office results are in front of everyone. No matter who it is, there is no way to take away these certainties. figures and facts.

Now "Source Code" has left everyone speechless at least at the box office, and it's still a foreign box office!
All of a sudden, there was a din of comments everywhere.

Now many people have begun to predict, and began to discuss whether "Source Code" may eventually break through the super box office obtained by "Hero" before, after all, it was a box office of more than 5000 million US dollars.

So far, in the North American box office rankings, No.1 is the Chinese film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", with a box office revenue of 1.28 million US dollars. "Life", this movie has a box office of 2 million US dollars, No.5700 is China's "Hero", the box office of this movie is 3 million, the box office figures of these movies are quite astonishing, it is the efforts of many other movies Those who want to get it but basically don't get much results.

And now, the box office of "Source Code" has surpassed the previous French film "Amelie", and has become No.4 in the historical box office rankings of North American films, second only to the Spanish and Mexican films "Pan". The Maze.

It's just that "Pan's Labyrinth" is actually not a foreign-language film strictly speaking. It has a strong American ancestry.

But none of that makes much sense, because it won't be long before "Source Code" surpasses "Pan's Labyrinth" at the box office.

Many people are now discussing and worrying about whether the North American box office of "Source Code" will be a flash in the pan or will it really bring about a big change?From the current point of view, the North American score of "Source Code" is still relatively strong, but I don't know what the next box office performance of this movie will be like.

Everyone is worried that the North American box office of "Source Code" will shrink greatly within the next second week.

At the same time that "Source Code" was released in North America, it was also released in other European countries, and two other Southeast Asian countries also began to be released. Networks and the like are now starting to play a role, and the commercial channels that these two films opened up for later films can now be really used.

The things brought by the two films "Raid" and "Xiu Chun Knife" before are indeed quite good.

Soon, the word-of-mouth of "Source Code" in these countries began to soar, and its box office performance began to get better and better. Many people may think that this is just a simple Chinese action movie at first, but they are very happy. It quickly turns out that there's more to it than that, there's so much more to this movie, especially as there's so much to think about, and it's a true sci-fi movie, even if it doesn't have anything like Super special effects like "Star Wars", but it is true that so far, the idea of ​​​​this movie has not been used before.

Some sci-fi movies do play with some special effects, such as "Star Wars", but there are also many movies that start from other places, such as the current "Source Code", these movies may not be particularly large in investment But the viewing effect brought by it is that many special effects blockbusters cannot be compared with it.

Many blockbusters with special effects will experience some aesthetic fatigue after watching too much, and even develop a kind of rebellious psychology. At that time, many people will instead pay more attention to those movies that are really outstanding in the plot, and focus on those movies with a higher degree of completion. of the film.

Moreover, "Source Code" is by no means a movie that is purely supported by the plot. On the contrary, there are many big scenes in this movie, especially the explosion scenes are well done, and there are many scenes in the middle that make the original Chinese action Those who are interested in the film are more interested in the fighting scenes, and those fist-to-flesh fighting scenes have a "raid" feeling.

So now the box office of "Source Code" is getting higher and higher.

In these countries, "Source Code" also took in a box office of 147 million US dollars in its first week of release.

And because "Source Code" performed quite well at the box office in North America, now filmmakers in many countries have begun to take a fancy to this movie, and want to discuss cooperation with Chen Xi and the others, and after some cooperation, they can get something they want. Now In many countries outside, there is greater interest in Chen Xi's films, and there will be greater expectations for his next films.

From now on, and in many box office markets around the world, "Source Code" will really start to hit the world.

After this week, "Source Code" will be screened in 25 countries and regions, including Japan and South Korea.

So far, the previous two films have achieved good box office and word-of-mouth in these two places, and Chen Xi has gained a fairly good reputation in East Asia and Southeast Asia. After that, Chen Xi will be in these places, as long as the film itself is OK. If so, many people will actually watch his movies and start to contribute to the box office of his movies.

For the release on these ticket warehouses, more things about "Source Code" still depend on the wind vane of the North American market.

And now in the North American market, the evaluation of "Source Code" is generally very good.

"The film tells the story of a dead man trying to save the capital from a nuclear disaster. The overall feeling of the film is full of suspense and exquisite production. Surprisingly, Chen Xi, the director of our "Raid", in addition to being able to make quite good action movies, can also make very good science fiction movies and suspense movies." - "The New Yorker"

""Source Code" conveys to the world with a precise and careful plot, don't forget the groundhog Phil effect and the belief of cheering for peace. Although this is a Chinese movie, you will empathize with it."—— "Washington post"

"Director Chen Xi's gorgeous turn has turned the blunt sci-fi concept into a touching one. There will be more opportunities for him to flex his muscles in the future, and the world will need him even more." ——National Public Radio Review
"In "Source Code", thinking is the best action, an anti-standard action film, "Source Code" has always been puzzling, even suspicious, but the director, screenwriter and actors have a clear goal , especially Chen Xi, who directed and acted himself, poured his heart and energy into it, so the film is just so addictive.” ——Boston Globe.

...Among the countless praises, the current "Source Code" has attracted more and more attention from all over the world.

It's just that everyone is still more worried about the performance of this film in the second week of the North American market.

Soon, "Source Code" also started its second week of journey in North America. After this week, "Avatar" will come, and it is very likely that it will sweep the world.

Everyone feels that the North American box office of "Source Code" in the second week should be around 1000 million U.S. dollars, and it will get more than 4000 million U.S. dollars in two weeks.

But the real results still surprised them: the box office of "Source Code" got 2047 million in the second week, hardly a big drop, and because of this, it scored 5588 million US dollars in the box office within two weeks, It broke the box office record of the Chinese film "Hero" and became No.3 in the box office rankings of foreign language films in the North American market!
