July 17th, an ordinary but not ordinary Monday, all the attention was focused on the North American weekend box office rankings last week. Although this was originally one of the important focus of this summer, the waiting mood is a bit complicated now.

Will the "Raging Road" create history, or will it be as weak as "X-Men 3"? What will the box office decline in the weekly box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"? Can it still launch an impact on 400 million as expected? The drama "Hollywood vs. Lance" will really end in the latter's single-handed and lonely heroic way? How much impact will Chaos Film bring to the industry? After the short gap of "Fruit Hard Candy", "Raging Road"

Will the strength of Lance "North America 200 million"? As a cult movie, can the "Raging Road" really create a history that "Brokeback Mountain" was not able to change last year? Which one has a greater influence on the market by the shackles of homosexuality and the threat of feminism? How will the historical process develop? How long will the praise of "Raging Road" last? Will there be a chance to rush to the Oscars like the "Titanic" and "Lord's Rings 3"?

Countless question marks flocked to it. Even after the premiere of "Raging Road" ended just three days ago, some people predicted that "Raging Road" would set off the most incredible craze in 2006, and it would probably be a joke. But this is the reality. "Raging Road" is like a thousand-year-old falcon of "Star Wars", and it was out of control, and it rushed to write its own legend in the vast universe.

In the eyes of everyone, the North American weekend box office rankings were officially announced in the second week of July.

Three days on the premiere weekend, "Raging Road" fell slightly by 28% on Saturday, with a score of 48 million, and made a strong record of Saturday's single-day box office record in Saturday's Saturday, bringing the popularity of topics created by viral videos to the extreme; Sunday's declined by another 5% and handing out a devastating decline level, especially considering that Friday and Sunday have already set historical records, Sunday's battery life is even more amazing. Once again, it has changed the single-day box office record in Sunday's film history with 45.8 million data, applying the first wave of chain effect brought by the movie's reputation advantages to the extreme, and three days have emerged an incredible premiere box office curve.

In the end, the premiere of "Rampage Road" had a box office of 161 million on the weekend.

Wait, how much? 161 million!

Just a set of data made everyone swallow a secret saliva in an instant. At this time, it was no longer as simple as the storm. It could be called the collapse of the sky and the earth. In an instant, it seemed that the whole world collapsed, overturning all people's inherent concepts and fixed thinking in one breath. Opening his mouth, he found that it was impossible to describe the madness of this record in accurate language.

Four years ago, "Spider-Man" made a stunning weekend box office record with 114 million yuan, making it the first film history to have a weekend box office of over 100 million yuan, which also marks that North America has officially entered the pace of premiere of over 100 million yuan. It also means that the measurement standard of 100 million yuan in North America will inevitably increase with the advancement of time. Considering the continuous increase in production costs, it is very likely that 200 million yuan is the mainstream in the future, but this fantasy has not been realized for a long time; until four years later, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" broke the long-stolen record of "Spider-Man" with 135 million yuan, and increased the record by 21 million yuan in one breath. All North American media have entered the carnival mode because the long-awaited "200 million yuan is the mainstream" pattern seems to be finally about to open, which also means that the North American film market will enter an era of prosperity.

Perhaps there is still a gap compared to the frequent Hollywood masterpieces in the Golden Age. The decline in artistic value and the weakening of creative ability seem to destiny that the film industry will never be able to find its former glory again; but the loss of gains and the maturity of the North American film market business will inevitably create more benefits, and the prosperous market will lead to the rise of the entire entertainment industry. All media believe that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is the perfect crystallization of a commercial film production system, and its achievements are more practical and long-term.

But now, just seven days later, the premiere box office record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has been broken again! This...this...

161 million, "Rampant Road" is not just breaking the record, but also directly raised the record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" by as much as 26 million. Just as people thought that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" had raised the record to an incredible level, it is very likely that it will not be broken in the next two to three years, but "Rampant Road" was seven days later, with a powerful and powerful attitude, harshly raised the record again, reaching a height that people must look up to.

There is a high or low point with comparison. The premiere record of "Raging Road" is 41% higher than "Spider-Man", and 19.2% higher than "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Almost as a rocket, all historical records are stomped on the feet. The highest box office in film history is on Friday, the highest box office in film history is on Saturday, and the highest box office in film history is on Sunday. The "Raging Road" has no chance at all, sweeping thousands of troops to win the new premiere record of film history.

Such a fierce record, all the controversy and all doubts were severely pressed against the feet, and even all the reactions, all the amazes and all the praises were extinguished in the throat. Because, in front of the set of numbers "161 million", all the words were really pale and powerless. Even if you want to express positive praise, your language was overshadowed, and everyone could only look at this set of data.

Just referring to a set of data, you will know how people feel at this moment.

Forty-four thousand one hundred! This is the single-player box office of the "Raging Road". It was released in 3,645 theaters. With a single-player data of 40,000 US dollars, it handed over a premiere weekend box office of 161 million. This result easily crowned the champion of the single-player box office history rankings for movies released on a large scale!

As we all know, Lance's film works can always set off a movie viewing frenzy. Whether it is "City of God" or "Fruit Hard Candy", especially the latter, the box office of a single museum even broke the blockade of Disney animation works and ranked among the top ten in the historical single museum box office list. This achievement is unimaginable at any time. The data of 168,000 yuan in a single museum is enough to show the support and pursuit of Lance by professional movie fans.

However, the box office records of a single-store are generally only used for preview works, just like "Fruit Hard Candy". At the beginning, it was only previewed in two theaters, and the explosion of single-store data was expected. However, for works that are released on a large scale, the data of a single-store is naturally relatively low. For example, works that are displayed in venues of more than 4,000 venues such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the results of a single-store studio are simply incomparable with those that are released on a small scale - 700 theaters can be called a small scale release, while 1,500 theaters are released on a large scale.

Before "Rampant Road", the single-player box office record of works released on a large scale was just refreshed by "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". The single-player $32,800 US dollars was broken, which was the 31,700 US dollars achieved by "Spider-Man" in 2002. The former was released in more than 4,100 theaters, while the latter was released in more than 3,600 theaters, so the difference in single-player studios was not obvious. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" only increased the original record by 1,200 US dollars, but the box office gap at the final premiere weekend was still relatively clear.

Now, the "Raging Road" directly increased the record by $11,300, and the increase rate reached 35%, which is incredible and unheard of. What does this mean? This means that the "Raging Road" in every cinema, the attendance rate of each screen exceeds the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"! This is a strong crush for the cinema that can be "full" if the attendance rate exceeds 50%.

The box office of a single-player is far more than that. This result is among all works - not distinguishing between pre-screening and release, ranking 53. If you only calculate the live-action movies, this ranking will be increased to 39. On this list, the most released venues were "Blair the Witch" in 1999, which was released in 27 venues and achieved a single-player box office of 56,000. The "Rail of Furious" ranked among them, with 3,645 venues being shocking, which further highlights the incredible results of its premiere weekend.

Destroy the tyrant, this is the real destroy. The "Raging Road" easily achieved a comprehensive crush on "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". It is not only the reputation of the movie, but also the box office data. In this heavyweight showdown, the "Raging Road" gave almost no chance to competitors, and with absolute advantage without blind spots, the record will be won in a decisive way.

I was dumbfounded. Even the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune were dumbfounded at this time. Some people expected that the "Raging Road" would be likely to win, but no one dared to predict that it would be a refreshing victory. I was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.

When people look back on the long history of film development, they suddenly discovered that the emergence of the "Raging Road" in 2006 has become the most important turning point since the 21st century. Not only because this work has achieved incredible box office achievements, but also because this work is hailed as a perfect combination of business and art, but also because this work subversion and change of computer special effects, live special effects, action-type movies, and commercial blockbusters is enough to compete with "Star Wars", which has truly changed the development trend of the blockbuster era.

The emergence of the "Raging Road" was three years earlier than "Avatar".
