919 Sweeping the Thousand Army
"Captain Jack Sparrow, are you ready?"
This is the post by Lance at the premiere of "Raging Road". Now it seems that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is obviously not ready. They did not expect the "Raging Road" to be so strong, nor did they expect the topic of "Raging Road" to be so hot, nor did they expect the "Raging Road" to be so fierce, and they did not expect the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" to become the loser of this summer battle.
Success has always been relatively common. Four weeks after "Superman Return" was released, North America has accumulated a box office of 178 million. This set of data sounds really good to laymen. Not only has it exceeded 100 million, but it is also within range of 200 million. It is not easy for any work to achieve a box office of 200 million in North America. It seems that Warner Bros.'s overwhelming early publicity has achieved considerable results. But in the eyes of professionals, this achievement is not worth mentioning compared to the 300 million investment and 50 million promotional promotion of the film.
The same is true for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". In just two weeks of release, North America's cumulative box office has reached 235 million, and its overseas box office performance is also very good. The movie will enter the profit stage two weeks later - Disney can completely relax and count the money. Even if the performance of "Rampant Road" is excellent, this is a foregone conclusion. Compared with Warner Bros.'s three consecutive losses, Disney should be able to smile secretly. However, Disney's expectations for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" are not just profitable. 400 million in North America and 1 billion in the world are Disney's goal.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" encountered powerful snipers from the "Raging Road" for two consecutive weeks. These two targets were immediately filled with countless uncertainties. Even if they achieved 399 million North American results, this achievement would inevitably make Disney smile.
In the third week of July, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" lost 45% box office, and delivered a weekend box office of 29.7 million. After falling below the 30 million level, North America's hope of hitting 400 million was further hit. The cumulative box office in three weeks of release staggeredly exceeded 300 million, temporarily reaching 308.8 million. There is still a long way to go before the 400 million target, but Disney deeply realized that the momentum of the "Raging Road" must not be underestimated. If the box office is squeezed by the opponent every week, and the box office is lower than expected, after a small amount of accumulation, it is very likely that the 400 million dream of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" will be shattered.
This really makes Disney extremely annoying.
Faced with the attacks of "Banshees in the Water", "Monster House", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the "Raging Road" in dire straits once again demonstrated its powerful strength to sweep thousands of troops. It has been ahead of the world since Monday, far ahead, showing an incredible absolute advantage.
On Monday, 25 million broke the 23 million record set by Monster Shrek 2 in 2004.
On Tuesday, 16 million broke the 13 million record of "Meeting Father-in-law" in 2004.
On Wednesday, 17 million broke the record of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"'s 14 million non-premiere works left in 2005. Even if the works on Wednesday's premiere day are included, this achievement can rank 11th in film history.
On Thursday, 20 million broke the record of 15 million non-premiere works harvested by "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" last week. In the single-day box office record including Thursday's premiere, this result was easily crowned the first place, breaking the record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".
In other words, from Monday to Thursday, "Raging Road" easily set a new single-day box office record in all film history. This dominant power completely outstrips "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and truly brings out the devastating box office sweep to the extreme. Even after negative news broke on Wednesday, the box office on Thursday was still not affected much. Under the cover of the overall reputation, it hit a new high, sweeping 76 million box office in four days. Just from this set of data, it can be seen that the box office decline of the next weekend of "Raging Road" will not be too terrible, and may even create miracles.
However, things happened a little unexpected. After the controversy broke out, how much influence did this have on male audiences and how many viewers would truly join the ranks of boycotting movies because of this controversy. This has also become the biggest uncertainty factor in the unstoppable box office upward curve of the "Raging Road".
Sure enough, after the box office statistics were released on Friday, it caused a sigh.
28 million, "Raging Road" was in the whirlpool of controversy, and the next week and Friday, the box office data of 28 million was handed in one-day box office data. If you just look at this set of data, the box office driving ability of "Raging Road" is still unrivaled. The data of "The Passion of Jesus" is 22 million. After "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" encountered a strong challenge from its competitors, the data of the same period was 18 million. In comparison, 28 million is really too outstanding. It has continued the dominance of the box office giant of the "Raging Road" and almost did not give "The Banshee in the Water" and "Monster House" any chance. On Friday, it directly strangled the suspense of the box office list in the third week of July.
However, considering that the "Raging Road" has repeatedly broken records during the work cycle from Monday to Thursday, this result on Friday is far from satisfactory. The box office of the second week of 28 million is far behind "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Spider-Man 2" and "Matrix 2", and is only ranked fourth on the film history record list, narrowly defeating "Monster Shrek 2".
It can be clearly felt that the "Raging Road" of "Raging Road" suddenly slowed down, and it also happened on the first day of the weekend that had a decisive role in the box office. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow, and it made people feel the strong momentum of patriarchal disputes. It must be known that this was just the third day after the outbreak of protests, and it actually caused the box office data to drop by a big step. If we follow the upward curve from Monday to Thursday, the box office of "Raging Road" on Friday should be at least 35 million. Even if it touched 36 million, it has now declined sharply, and the upward momentum seemed to hit a glass wall, full of Venus.
Putting aside Warner Bros., Disney's competitive relationship is not mentioned. In fact, Hollywood's behavior of creating history in "Rampant Road" is popular, just like works like "killing with a knife" and "City of Sin". Their successes have allowed people to see the new vitality of crime-type films. Before the box office of "Titanic" in North America exceeded 600 million, no one dared to imagine that the film market could reach such a height. This is a driving force for all film companies and is beneficial to the entire film industry.
The feat that broke the record for seven consecutive days after the release of "Rampant Road" made people excited, but now it suddenly came to an abrupt end. The afflicting regret and depression caused a sigh.
Things got worse then. After patriarchy, feminism also joined the war. The "Raging Road" offended all those who could offend - men and women. The embattled condemnation was powerless at all. Even Lance disappeared from the limelight, right? What's more, as time progressed, things only showed signs of continued deterioration and no chance of improvement. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the box office journey of "Raging Road".
However, when the box office data on Saturday was released, people were shocked.
35 million, the box office of the next week of "Rampant Road" was 35 million, up 25% from the previous day! Even if this result is lost to the single-day box office rankings of Saturdays on the premiere weekend, it can still rank fifth. The rebound momentum is too fierce and too fast, and it catches people off guard.
There is no room for people to breathe, "Raging Road" then achieved a box office data of 23 million on Sunday, which also means that the movie's box office reached an incredible 86 million in the next week. It easily left behind the movie's second week box office record holder "Monster Shrek 2", which greatly increased the original record of 72 million, and the decline in the next week was only 46.5%!
Forty-six-5%! When the box office decline in the next week was controlled within 60%, it was a victory, but the "Raging Road" passed a decline of 46.5%, which was almost the same as the decline in the third week of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Referring to the record of the premiere weekend of "Raging Road" more and more highlighting the crazy decline data of the next week.
At this moment, people's brains have completely fallen apart. The collision of patriarchy and feminism has become a catalyst for igniting the box office energy of the "Raging Road". In the whirlpool of controversy, more and more people who have no interest in movies have begun to enter the cinema, which has also made the "Raging Road" truly break the R-level hierarchical constraints and mobilize the entire North America. There is no doubt that this controversy in full swing has led to the outbreak of the "Raging Road" the next week, sweeping thousands of troops to step on all historical records, and once again wrote a series of records on their own name.
With such momentum, let alone the "Banshees in the Water", even "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can no longer stand it and begin to retreat step by step, as if there is no power. This is indeed hard to believe for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which just broke the box office record of North American premiere two weeks ago. But the fact is that it is hot, this is truly hot. "Raging Road" has become a film that everyone desires to see, needs to see, and must see, whether it is supporters, critics, or bystanders, everyone has entered the cinema and joined the national craze.
