Strongly Recommended: Lord Xue Ying, the strongest shop owner in history, a thought of the legend of the eternal dragon king, the legend of the ancient gods and kings, the peak of martial arts, the five elements It was released in nearly 60 countries and regions, including North America. In the words of many media, Peter Jackson led the army to return to his homeland.

This return is destined to be a journey of making money.

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" opened in North America with more than 3,100 theaters, and earned $13.9 million in advance, setting the best advance in film history in December.

On Friday, the film expanded to 4,050 theaters in North America, and topped the North American Friday box office record with $37.5 million, breaking the first-day box office record in December film history.

Although the rhythm of the film is a bit slow, which makes it seem very lengthy, but with the effect of Middle-earth and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Unexpected Journey" still performs well in the crucial audience word of mouth. Not bad, the audience rating at the theater was "a", and it was raised to "a+" among audiences under the age of 18, proving that the film also has a pretty good family affinity.

It is predicted that the future box office development of the film should be healthy and orderly, and it is expected to achieve long-term box office revenue.

With the support of factors such as imax, 3d and the high expectations brought by the previous work, another trilogy of this re-attack has logically made a good start at the box office, although in terms of viewing There is a lack of film numbers, but with the high ticket numbers of imax and 3d, the box office revenue still maintains a considerable number.

On Saturday, the film took another $27.73 million from North America, a slight increase from Friday, which removed the early box office, and the trend is healthy and stable.

Everything shows that, as a prequel to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the release of "An Unexpected Journey" has once again pulled the fans' minds back to that magnificent and haunting Middle-earth world.

And the film uses the latest 3D and 48-frame high-frame photography technology to present a more lifelike fantasy world on the screen. Director Peter Jackson has once again become the leading leader of fantasy movies.

The release of The Hobbit has set off another fantasy storm.

Since the beginning of the new millennium, Hollywood fantasy movies have become more and more prosperous. Although there are many works on the street, there are always box office hits. The representatives in this regard are undoubtedly the "Lord of the Rings" series and the "Harry Potter" series.

Even works such as "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Alice in Wonderland" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are all classified as fantasy series by Hollywood.

Fantasy movies have never been more brilliant than in the new millennium.

Matthew analyzed the reasons from his own perspective based on the status quo of Hollywood, his own experience in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and his investment in "The Hobbit".

One of the most important ones is that fantasy movies need more technical support.

Fantasy movies rely more on purely visual effects and more on computer effects than sci-fi movies.

To present a fantasy world that originally existed only in words or illustrations on the screen, without cutting-edge technology, it is equal to zero. In the past ten years, CG technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, creating a lifelike fantasy world for the audience, which is no longer a fantasy.

Therefore, in the fantasy blockbusters such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Harbert", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "The Golden Compass", the audience has seen countless unrestrained magical illusions and all creatures.

Fantasy movies at this stage are, in the first sense, spectacle-like visual effects blockbusters. With the help of digital special effects, the fantasy world constructed on the screen has become more and more colorful, magnificent and eye-catching, which will naturally be favored by a large number of audiences. After all, most audiences enter the theater. entertainment.

Maybe it's too philistine to say that, and it doesn't seem compelling.

Therefore, Matthew has summed up a set of high-level arguments that can be drawn.

The more developed modern civilization, the more oppressed human nature is, and the more you want to get rid of the icy world of reinforced concrete and yearn for the embrace of nature. Fantasy movies have largely satisfied this psychological expectation, and the fantasy world on the screen is also the same. It has become a "wonderland" in people's imagination, and wandering in it will naturally produce a kind of psychological pleasure.

"Avatar" is a sci-fi blockbuster, but the most intoxicating and most acclaimed beauty of Pandora belongs to the category of fantasy, which is the truth.

It is a pity that, due to the relationship between time and personal development, Matthew missed the investment in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Although the "Hobbit" series invested now is good, it is better than the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in all aspects. Still worse.

In particular, the word-of-mouth from the media to the audience is not as good as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

These are reasonable in Matthew's eyes.

After all, the original works alone, "The Hobbit" is not at the same level as "The Lord of the Rings". The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is three spectacular masterpieces, occupying a pivotal position in the history of Western fantasy literature. And The Hobbit is only a thin volume.

The Hobbit is more like a fairy tale adventure than The Lord of the Rings' grand, soul-stirring epic spirit.

Besides, Matthew's most important thing is the box office.

Although the box office is not everything for a movie, the box office directly affects the entire industry chain revenue of a movie.

This situation has already been made clear. Investors do not pay attention to the box office. Is that possible?

In terms of the most critical box office revenue, "The Hobbit" did not disappoint one of the investors, Matthew. During the three days of the North American opening weekend, the film made a large-scale attack in 4,045 theaters, with an average performance of 20,958 US dollars per theater. Got 84.77 million premiere box office.

This achievement not only far surpassed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series a few years ago (the highest of 72.62 million in the third part in 2004), but also broke the record for the highest opening weekend in film history in December.

Without any suspense, the first part of "The Hobbit" overwhelmed many competitors such as Spielberg's "Lincoln" and "The Fantastic Drifting of Young Pi", and easily won the throne of the North American box office chart.

Although "Lincoln" and "The Fantastic Drifting of Pi" were released in early December, the audience of the films was limited after all, and the box office trend has always been stable but not explosive, ranking at the box office with 7.24 million US dollars and 5.4 million US dollars respectively. the third and fourth.

In second place was Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part 2), which took another $7.68 million from North America that weekend.

So far, the North American box office of "Breaking Dawn (Part 2 has exceeded the US$300 million mark, accumulating US$302.56 million.

There is also a peculiar phenomenon in the North American box office charts, with four films invested by Matthew squeezed into the top ten of the list!

Excluding "The Hobbit" and "Twilight", "American Sniper" came in ninth place this weekend with $2.39 million, and "The Conjuring" took eighth place with $2.71 million!

The box office accumulation of the two films is equally astonishing. The North American box office of "American Sniper" has passed the $400 million mark, and the North American box office of "The Conjuring" has gone straight to $150 million.

To describe it in the words of the "Los Angeles Times": This week's North American box office charts use iron facts to prove why Matthew Horner is also known as a gold investor and producer in addition to superstars!

There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet.

"Matthew Horner is an absolute winner in the film industry!"

"It feels like Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't have done what Matthew did when he was at his best."

"When it comes to individuals, Matthew Horner is the number one person in Hollywood."

"Let me worship the winners in life, as if Matthew Horner started a lot lower than me..."

There are a lot of similar comments, and the Internet also presents all kinds of life, and there are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Matthew.

Fortunately, Matthew has never walked through the character of the winner in life, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future.

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" not only sold well in North America, but also became a hit at the box office all over the world.

The film was released simultaneously in 56 regions outside of North America, and it made an overseas box office harvest of US$138.2 million on the same weekend, taking in more than US$223 million worldwide. Drifting", ascended the throne of the week's global box office champion in one fell swoop.

"The Fantastic Drifting of Pi" is also a good box office, and the current box office outside North America is close to 120 million US dollars~www.readwn.com~ But the market trend of this film is too serious.

Ang Lee's identity and the influence of the two films "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Lust and Caution", as well as the status of the best Chinese Oscar director, have made him very popular on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. At the box office, it accounts for more than 65% of the overseas box office of "The Fantasy Drift of the Teenage Pie".

The film market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is obviously getting bigger and bigger, and gradually there is a trend that a single market can support a first-line production with a small investment.

In addition, "American Sniper" and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part 2 continue to screen overseas.

The former's global total has approached $700 million; the latter's has easily surpassed $600 million.

Judging from the current screening situation, these two films still have a certain market potential to be tapped.

In contrast, "The Conjuring" has a limited market size due to the relationship between horror films, the potential is consumed faster, and it is gradually showing a decline.

However, the film also grossed $368.71 million worldwide.

Without a doubt, this has been an extremely productive year for Matthew.

The invested films continued to sell very well in the film market. After Matthew returned to Los Angeles, he did not plan to go out in recent months. Apart from communicating with Christopher Nolan about the role of "Interstellar", he was preparing to participate in the academy. In several activities, I tried my best to help my friend Michael Fassbender to promote "Jobs Biography".

What Matthew did not expect was that Harvey Weinstein took the initiative to jump out because he failed to compete for the investment in "The Hobbit". 2k novel reading network
