Chapter 2017 2017 Hand in hand
"Trumen's World" and "Six Days and Seven Nights" ranked the champion and runner-up of the North American box office rankings in the second week of June, while the intensive publicity of "Super Perfect Murder" finally played a role. The topic effect led many viewers to enter the cinemas. However, due to their poor reputation, the final decline in the next week still reached 35%. This week, barely maintained the level of US$10 million for three days of the weekend, ranking third in this week.
A very interesting phenomenon occurred in the summer season of 1998. "The Great Conflict of Heaven and Earth", "Godzilla" and "Truemon's World" both completed two consecutive championships. Regardless of the reputation of the movie, it seems that it can always win the championship again. But so far, "Godzilla" has only stopped in two consecutive championships and has not been able to achieve three consecutive championships. So, what will the performance of "Truemon's World"?
In order to achieve three consecutive championships, "Trumen's World" faces unprecedented challenges. "x-files:fight.the.future" and "mulan" will join forces to attack this week!
After the TV series "X Archives" was released in 1993, it became very popular, and the story of unknown creatures was sought after by fanatical movie fans and became one of the hottest dramas on the small screen. Thanks to the huge success of the TV series, the main creative team decided to bring the TV series to the big screen. This idea was supported by 20th Century Fox, so they got a budget of 70 million US dollars and filmed "X Archives: Conquer the Future".
The setting of the movie "X Archives: Conquer the Future" is very interesting. It is not an independent story. The entire movie cast uses the full lineup of the TV series, and the story is closely connected to the fifth season that just aired in May not long ago. It continues to develop. At the same time, the end of the story will leave a suspense, connecting with the sixth season that will be aired in September. It can be said that this movie is equivalent to a special edition connecting the fifth season and the sixth season of the TV series. It can exist independently, but it is more about connecting the entire story.
This bold idea of the main creators will inevitably attract loyal audiences of countless TV series to the cinema, and there are countless viewers who are curious about the unknown world but are unwilling to watch TV series for a long time to enter the cinema. You should know that the "X Files" is currently the highest-rated TV series in the United States, and each episode can attract more than 20 million viewers to watch regularly.
Therefore, the box office prospect of "x archives: Conquer the Future" has been favored by countless professionals. Even if the "Trumen's World" performance is still strong, "x archives: Government's Future" can also take out the ability to have a premiere weekend box office of 33 million to 35 million US dollars, defeat the opponent and successfully reach the top, and end the dream of "Trumen's World" three consecutive championships.
If the ending is really like this, then the box office trend of this summer will be even more interesting because "Trueman's World" continues the pattern of only two consecutive championships in the previous two works.
However, before "x archives: Government Future" wants to defeat the "Trumen's world", it still needs to withstand the strong impact of "Mulan".
"Mulan" is an animated blockbuster created by Disney for $70 million. In the past few years, Disney has maintained the frequency of a classic masterpiece every year and has continued to impact the film market, "The Lion King", "Toy Story", "Beauty and the Beast", etc. Almost every work has been recorded in history and has achieved great success in box office.
This time, Disney once again launched the "Mulan" that changed China, which was favored by people when it was scheduled. The director of this work was Barry.cook, who previously served as the visual effects director of "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast", which gave people more confidence in the movie. Disney took four years to study countless Chinese traditional ink paintings and martial arts, which guaranteed the quality.
In the summer season, movies like cartoons that are happy with family always occupy an important market position. Although comedy movies also target family audiences, if you choose between comedy and animation, most families with children will choose animation. "Truman's World" was a huge momentum in the previous two weeks, and a very important reason was that there was no competition for movies of the same type, but now "Mulan" will inevitably grab the market, and "Truman's World" is a black fairy tale that parents have almost no doubts when choosing between the two movies.
Therefore, the impact of "Mulan" on the box office market of "Trumen's World" is even more violent than "X Files: Conquer the Future".
If we compare the box office data of "Lion King" and "Toy Story", the premiere weekend can produce more than 30 million. If "Mulan" can also maintain this level, it also means that the weekend box office list in the third week of June will fall into a big melee.
Three weeks after the release of "Trumen's World", even if the decline is against the sky, it will inevitably fall back to about 30 million; and "X File: Conquer the Future", "Mulan"'s predicted box office is about 30 million US dollars, and the battle between these three works can definitely be said to be a close connection.
Among the predictions of many media, it is generally believed that "x archives: Conquer the Future" will win the box office championship this week with a slight advantage of less than two million, "Mulan" narrowly defeated "Trumen's World" to occupy the runner-up position. "Trumen's World", which had previously won two consecutive titles, will once again give a surprising decline, but unfortunately it can only rank third.
This prediction was not deliberately biased, and was recognized by authoritative media such as the "Los Angeles Times" and the "New York Times". After all, in the face of the strength of "X Files: Conquer the Future", even if the "Trumen's World" drops against the sky, it is difficult to form a head-on confrontation, let alone the "Mulan" who is eyeing it.
This week can be said to be the top three players without distinguishing Xuan Yi. Originally, the showdown between "X File: Conquer the Future" and "Mulan" was a strong collision. Now, coupled with an irregular bomb "Trueman's World", it is very likely to have a tragic ending of losing both sides. This is the most exciting situation in the summer season. The expectation value is even greater than the "Save the Private Ryan" scheduled to be released in a month. It is considered to be the most noteworthy weekly draw in the summer season in 1998.
In the third week of June, the North American film market ushered in the most lively week since the opening of this summer. More than 500 media outlets focused their attention on the box office battle this week.
