One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventeen
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Just when people thought that the box office data of "Gravity" had far exceeded expectations, it broke all conjectures and predictions with an absolutely strong performance, but then the surprise came again, breaking people's adjusted expectations again. Once again, a burst of exclamations and surprises arose.
Saturday's one-day box office fell just 10 percent! This performance is almost comparable to the 13% drop of "Avengers" in the same period of last year's premiere weekend. It was so amazing that people suffered 100,000 critical hits. They were so frightened that they began to close. Mouth, jaw-dropping!
Friday, 55 million. "Gravity" broke the record for the highest weekend box office in the fall with its single-day box office data.
On Saturday, 49.5 million. "Gravity"'s next-day single-day box office data can rank third in the fall weekend box office history list, second only to "Smart: Ghost Record 3" and "Dumbo Funny Show 3D".
For two consecutive single-day box office data, "Gravity" broke all North American film history records with a destructive attitude, and completely changed the law and structure of the entire film market with absolute strength and absolute madness, even in the summer vacation. file, such data is enough to rank among the top 20 in the history of the film, let alone in the autumn file?
Really too sturdy!
For a while, people couldn't help but have a kind of confusion, now it's not July?
What's even more absurd is that the major news media have just adjusted their box office forecasts, and now after Saturday's single-day box office data is released, they have to adjust their estimates for the second time in a short period of time, even Warner Bros. They all seemed to be in a hurry, the previous prediction was far lower than expected, and the surprise was too turbulent and too violent, so that some were at a loss.
Adjusted from 50 million to 90 million, and then adjusted to the latest forecast of 120 million. In just 48 hours, the estimated value of the premiere box office of "Gravity" by market insiders has been turned upside down. The change of the movie has more than doubled. From the record hitter of the premiere in the fall to the destroyer of the schedule regularity of the North American film market, the change of this role is really too brave!
To that end, The New Yorker wrote an article about a Saturday night in October.
The writers described an ordinary Saturday night as a personal participant. According to the practice of previous years, the Manhattan night in the fall belongs to the theater, the bar, and the four major sports leagues. Only a very small part belongs to the four major sports leagues. Cinema, but this time there was an exception——
"After three decades of living in New York, I finally encountered something unheard of again,
In order to buy two 'Gravity' evening movie tickets, my little friend and I visited seven cinemas in Manhattan, from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm, like Holden, we walked all over the place City.
It wasn't until we were hungry that we finally bought two 10:45 pm tickets at a small cinema in Greenwich Village. But I can't tell whether it's because the cinema is far enough off and the traffic is too low, or because we bought the tickets because we chose the tickets for the nearly midnight show. At least one thing I can be sure of, though, we don't need to stay at the Edmonds tonight. "
This article is narrated in the style and style of Jerome David Salinger's famous novel "The Catcher in the Rye". Holden, wandering around New York City, trying to find an exit with his eyes and feet - the Edmond Hotel was Holden's first night's stay.
The article really is the consistent style and characteristics of "The New Yorker".
Through the perspective of this writer, people can clearly feel the movie viewing frenzy on Saturday, and the venues are full. This is definitely not an exaggerated remark, but the turbulent wave that is felt personally. The popular scene is really a Tickets were hard to come by, and they were all sold out early, as if people from all over New York City had left their homes and rushed to the cinema to watch this work, which really changed people's living habits and entertainment habits, although it was only limited to this week.
From the jokes of "The New Yorker" to the statistics of exhibitor relations, all of them are feeling the turbulent heat wave that broke out in the autumn season in all directions!
Following the movie viewing frenzy on Friday and Saturday, Warner Bros. analyzed the pre-sale data and the growth curve and predicted that Sunday would usher in a one-day decline of 27%, and finally gave 130,000. Wan's opening weekend box office ultimate prediction, this achievement will undoubtedly rewrite history, and it will also be a history that cannot be surpassed or replicated!
It is even better than the momentum that "Twilight City" was born in 2008. It can be said that it swept the eight wastes like a force!
But that's still not all.
Later, market experts analyzed the box office curve of the opening weekend of "Gravity", especially the root cause of the three consecutive deviations in the estimates of Warner Bros. and a group of professional media. Of course, in the forecasting process, the market potential of "gravity" has always been underestimated, which is an important factor; but in front of data analysis, the more important determinant is that the movie has stepped out of the legendary God trend curve.
Through the accumulation of word-of-mouth in the three film festivals, the topic effect of "Gravity" has reached a new height. It is certain and certain that this is an excellent work, and it is likely to have the best reputation in history. commercial film, but audiences still have doubts——
What does the professional media mean by "the perfect balance between business and art"? Because even "The Avengers" doesn't have such high ratings, does that mean the movie is still more about art? Otherwise, why are professional media and veteran moviegoers collectively climaxing? Just like the original "Batman: The Dark Knight".
Some films, despite being both commercial and artistic, are not necessarily appealing to the general audience. Some audiences simply like movies like "Transformers", which is also a kind of preference.
However, all the speculation and questions were answered in Friday's viewing frenzy.
If Friday was just a celebration stage for fanatical fans and Don Quixotes, then Saturday opened a frenzy of ordinary audiences entering the cinema one after another. Under the strong appeal of "Renly-Hall", Many ordinary audiences have made up their minds to try and watch, even if it is not such an absolute commercial movie, at least it is not too bad——
After all, "Fast & Furious 5" and "Edge of Tomorrow" have long proven that Renly still has a strong grip on commercial films, hasn't it?
As a result, there was only an ultra-low drop of 10% on Saturday.
Then, the word of mouth on Friday and Saturday was superimposed again and continued to ferment. On the social network platform, it was obvious that the enthusiasm of ordinary audiences for discussion and participation reached a new height, and the commercial attribute of "gravity" was gradually fermented. , and then created another wave of ordinary audience watching on Sunday.
In fact, the 27% one-day drop predicted by Warner Bros. is already unbelievable. This data is an estimate based on the pre-sale box office and the box office trend of the past two days. This is a math problem and basically does not appear. too much deviation.
However, the actual one-day box office drop on Sunday was only 21%, almost replicating the 18% box office drop of "Avengers" on the third day of its premiere, breaking the shackles of mathematical formulas again. , brought another surprise.
In the end, "Gravity" fetched $39.1 million on Sunday, and the single-day box office figure still ranks 11th in the history of the fall weekend box office.
The unfair comparison between the single-day box office and the weekend box office, "Gravity" has swept across the board, which further highlights the sturdiness and strength of this film in creating a historical record. No language is needed, just a list of numbers to be able to tell that. The shock exploded to the extreme, enough to shock every audience.
The North American opening weekend grossed $143.6 million.
This is the premiere data of "Gravity", which has almost tripled compared to the box office figures originally predicted by the media, truly showing the domineering that makes the entire market and the entire industry tremble.
According to this data, among all the movie premieres in 2013, it ranked second at the box office, second only to "Iron Man 3", and easily surpassed "Superman: Man of Steel" by $116 million. Furthermore, among the box office premieres in film history, it ranks among the top ten and temporarily ranks eighth, surpassing the 142 million created by "Twilight: New Moon" in 2009. data.
It can be simply said that such data are also the top works that swept thousands of troops in this year's disappointing summer season.
If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.
The entire film industry is complaining about the desertion and loneliness of the autumn season in North America. Warner Bros. arranged for the official release of "Gravity" in October. The movie really makes it hard to understand what the choice is.
But inadvertently inserted willows and willows.
The major film companies are intermittently arranging some commercial films to be released in the autumn period. Although they have not broken it, everyone knows it well. In fact, the meaning is: this is a commercial film, but there is no confidence to hit the summer period, so Just put it in the less competitive autumn season and see if it can come back to life and integrate the idle market. Maybe the blind cat meets the dead mouse?
Yes, this time I really "touched" it.
"Gravity" not only created an astonishing historical record, nearly tripling the previous record; it also continued the myth of Renly's invincibility!
