1004 A brilliant year

Compared with the past few years, Lance's actions in 2O6 years have significantly reduced. Apart from a "Raging Road", there is almost no extra activity, but just a "Raging Road" is enough. Tianlai novel ww

Looking at the entire 2oo6 year, there is no way to find any work that can compete with the "Raging Road". From box office data to word-of-mouth dissemination, from topic focus to subsequent influence, comprehensive coverage, and more importantly, the impact of this work on the film industry, the driving force of social public opinion, and the subversion of popular culture are immeasurable. This has passed the "Titanic" and has become the most sensational and shocking monument since the advent of "Star Wars"! Even if North America has ushered in the dawn of 2oo7 years, it is still the case.

The box office of North America is 613 million and the box office of 1.292 million worldwide. The "Rampage Road" has undoubtedly won the champions of the North American year-end box office rankings and the global year-end box office rankings. With an absolutely strong attitude, it declared the powerful presence of Chaos Pictures and Reims, which is eye-catching.

This is the second year-end box office champion in North America and the world in film history since 2oo4, not controlled by six major film companies. The last time that this feat was DreamWorks, it ended up being split within less than fifteen months after "Monster Shrek 2" created history. And what will happen to Chaos Pictures, which wrote a miracle this time? At least from the moment, Chaos Pictures, which has frequent actions, still shows a prosperous and prosperous appearance. This new top Hollywood player rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big fight.

Faced with the excellent performance of the "Raging Road", all competitors can only sigh. The huge gap cannot be made up. The only thing they are fighting for is the runner-up position of the year. In the "Runner-up Battle", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" successfully laughed to the end.

Before the release, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was undoubtedly one of the most popular works in 2oo6 years. Many people are optimistic about this work winning the year-end championship. This is true. The movie was released on the weekend and broke the film history record of "Spider-Man" and showed the domineering spirit of no one else but me. Unfortunately, it encountered a stronger "Rampant Road" and achieved the latter's miracle myth. The hat of "runner-up" was so tight that it was pressed on its head that it was almost breathless. Despite this, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" still achieved extremely excellent results with the strong popularity of Captain Jack Sparrow. The eighth part of Film History's film history exceeded 400 million, which was enough to make it stand above ten thousand people.

403 million, although it only barely crossed the line, the outstanding performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" successfully made 2oo6 years the first time in North American film history that had two 400 million works in the same year, creating history, which is a valuable improvement for the entire North American market.

Except for Disney's smile, everyone else gave applause to such a result, including Warner Bros., who lost a crushing summer season.

Due to the explosion of "Rampant Road" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", almost all the potential of the film market has been drained, so that no work has achieved a North American box office of 300 million yuan after that. The third place in the year-end list has only achieved a box office of 250 million yuan, which is still a long way from 300 million yuan. However, the work that won the third place title has become a big upset. "Museum Wonderful Night" released during the Christmas season has been widely praised after it was released, replicating the miracle of "Meeting Father-in-law" two years ago and becoming the biggest winner of this year's comedy movies - the male protagonist Ben Stiller also reached the peak of his career.

After that, "Car Mobilization", "X-Men 3", "Da Vinci Code", and "Return of Man" respectively occupied the fourth to seventh place respectively. With "Return of Man" as the watershed, the North American box office of seven movies in 2O6 reached 200 million, which is lower than last year and better than the previous year. If the "Rampage Road" is deducted, the North American film market's development curve is very stable, and there is almost no progress or regression.

It is precisely because of this that the explosion of "Rampant Road" has caused a sensation in Hollywood. R-level movies can also create such a height? The cult style can also be accepted by the mainstream market? Have the end-of-day theme works been shot with new ideas? Will action movies returning to retro have more markets? Is the awakening of female audiences a flash in the pan or an overall trend?

And so on, it can be said that the success of the "Raging Road" has allowed Hollywood to see the possibility of further tapping the film market. This is also the fundamental reason why Chaos Pictures and Lance can quickly reach the peak - interests, ultimately, are interests.

There is also an interesting detail. Among the top seven in the year-end list of North America, the most invested works are "Return of People" and "X-Men 3". The investment of both works has exceeded the threshold of 200 million, but the two works with the highest losses are also the only two works in the top seven that are facing losses.

After the "Titanic", the law of higher investment and higher returns is fading its magic. The rational investment advocated by Chaos Film is entering people's sight. After the "Rampant Road" was released, Lance proposed the concept of "investment range of 100 million to 150 million", which is undoubtedly an earthquake-level turmoil for Hollywood. It is no exaggeration to say that Lance is changing Hollywood bit by bit. Some people do not realize it, and some people realize it, but even realize it, they do not seem to care, but open their arms and warmly welcome this change.

After that, the remaining three seats in the top ten of the year-end box office list in North America were divided by "Happy Big Foot", "Ice Age 2", and "oo7: Casino Royale".

These three works have undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. Putting aside the highlights of the two cartoons themselves, "Happy Big Foot" was photographed by George Miller. The director who devoted himself to the movies was really intriguing this year. "Crazy Max 4: The Road of Furious" brought him back to the public eye again, and "Happy Big Foot" proves his excellent directorial ability. The reputation of this work is even better than Pixar's "Car Mobilization", and is considered to be the best cartoon this year.

The outstanding performance of "Ice Age 2" proves that Blue Sky Studio is not a flash of shooting stars. They are still able to create excellent sequels to further compete with Pixar and DreamWorks. Especially when DreamWorks was split and Pixar was acquired, the existence of Blue Sky Studio has made the battle for the North American animation market begin to heat up.

The greatest success of "oo7: Casino Royale" is not the North American box office of 167 million. Strictly speaking, although the overseas box office performance is also very gratifying, and the investment of 150 million successfully achieved profitability, the most important thing for Sony Pictures is the series' revitalization. "Casino Royale" has almost reached its peak with praise. This is the best oo7 series of works in the media's comprehensive reviews in 20 years, which undoubtedly gave Sony Pictures great confidence. Obviously, in the subsequent competition, Sony Pictures officially began to challenge Warner Bros.

As you can see from the top ten list of the year-end list, Paramount and Universal are undoubtedly the biggest losers. None of their works have entered the top ten and have begun to fall behind in the fierce competition; Twentieth Century Fox and Disney have the last laugh, the former has three works, "Museum Wonderful Night", "X-Men 3" and "Ice Age 2", and the latter has produced two works, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Car Movement", which ranked in the top four, with outstanding performance.

Although Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures also grabbed two seats in the top ten, their situations were completely different. Sony Pictures won the future, and the two works "Da Vinci Code" and "Casino Royale" performed well. They held the subsequent adaptation rights of these two works at the same time, and the future was promising; but Warner Bros. suffered heavy losses, and the loss of "return of people" and "happy big feet" were not enough to make up for it. If it weren't for the outstanding performance in the awards season, Warner Bros. would have been even more embarrassed.

Of course, Chaos Pictures is still the biggest winner.

If you analyze this list carefully, more interesting things will appear. Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures were the main players who started to join forces to ban Chaos Pictures in the second half of last year, and the shift in the center of gravity made them less worthwhile; 20th Century Fox and Disney were more stand by. Although the latter also participated in some activities due to the involvement of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", Robert Iger focused more on Pixar's acquisition and internal integration when he just took over the company, and the results were obvious; Paramount and Universal are currently the most closest companies with Chaos Pictures. Chaos Pictures is opening video leasing channels and DVD channels, and Paramount has provided a lot of help, and the "Invincible Hulk" filmed by Universal Pictures and Chaos Pictures is in full swing.

The influence between the past, present, and future is clearly visible; the changes in attitudes and strategy formulation of major companies are clear at a glance. Even if you are unwilling to admit it, the facts are already in front of you: the involvement and entanglement between Chaos Pictures and the six major film companies have already entered the historical stage - although no one can predict how the future will develop.

There is no doubt that this is the glorious year for Chaos Film, or to put it more accurately, this is the glorious year for Lance. It is hard to imagine that Lance supported Chaos Film with his own strength alone, and even achieved such an incredible feat with his own strength, which caused the whole of Hollywood bloody storm. The gears of history have been put on the ground, and now people will open their eyes and watch this good show with relish.

Similarly, when the global year-end box office rankings are released, you can still feel this context. Chaos Film's world influence has quietly completed its bud stage and entered a stage of thriving growth. In such a short time, Chaos Film has grown into a powerful force that no one can ignore.
