The rise and fall of the North American box office has always been the focus of global attention, because it is undoubtedly the largest movie box office market in the world. In 2004, the single-year box office in North America reached 9.418 billion US dollars, a record that has not been broken by any country or region so far; when entering 2007, many experts predicted that this year's North American box office would exceed 100 million. The threshold of 100 million has made history, but unfortunately, the summer blockbusters have suffered serious internal friction and failed to meet expectations. Chalk Treasure 2" exploded with astonishing energy, and its performance even surpassed the performance of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" in the same period in 2003. million dollars, a new high.

It can be said that this is a piece of news that makes everyone happy. Of course, putting this news in the context of the screenwriters' strike is all the more worthwhile to ponder, and the balance of power between screenwriters and producers is also changing silently.

The entire North American box office is a big environment, but it can be seen that the competition in the North American box office charts is fierce during the Christmas period, and "National Treasure 2" led by Nicolas Cage has made a big splash and won the championship of the weekend box office charts. ; Warner Bros.' "Mouse Laibao" continued the good reputation and good box office of "Happy Big Feet" last year, and took the runner-up position; Will Smith's "I Am Legend" has made great strides in the cumulative box office. 200 million, breaking through 300 million still retains a glimmer of hope, it can be said that the results are very good, this week ranked third, the performance is still good.

In addition to these three box-office powerhouses driving a new wave of box office climax at the end of the year, there are also many literary and artistic works that are more inclined to the independent field than the box office. Evan Bell and Leonardo DiCapri The "Blood Will Come" teamed up by Olympics was released in two theaters, and "The Great Debater" directed and acted by Denzel Washington, the first black actor in history, was fully released in 1,110 theaters across the United States. "I grew up in Iran" also held screenings in seven theaters, and this will be the last batch of alternates to land in theaters in the 2007 awards season.

"The Blood Is Coming" chose to be released on December 26th. This is a Wednesday. After the box office statistics came out, the reporters couldn't wait to report the news that "The Blood Is Coming" would once again set the box office record of the single hall. , although there is a word "will" to indicate the prediction of the future tense, the news viewers who watch the reporters will not have any doubts about this report.

"The Blood Will Come" only selected a landmark cinema in New York and Los Angeles for the screening - as the largest art theater chain in the United States, Eleven Studio chose the Landmark Company to show "The Blood Will Come", which shows that they The box office of the movie itself does not pay too much attention to the attitude. Starting from the first show of the movie, it will be played continuously for 24 hours. Since the movie "The Blood Will Come" is 158 minutes long, which is more than two and a half hours, it can be played in one day. Eight is the limit. But even so, for every screening, the seats in the theater are full. Even in the middle of the night or in the early morning, movie tickets are still in short supply. This phenomenon is even worse than the prosperous age of "Brokeback Mountain" at the beginning.

What is even more exaggerated is that at the end of each screening, almost after Daniel Plevy said the last line "I'm done", the audience stood up and applauded unanimously, expressing the most direct reflection. Love this movie.

In fact, those audiences who will come to watch "The Blood Is Coming" in such a hurry and enthusiasm are nothing more than two kinds of people: loyal fans of Evan Bell and Leonardo DiCaprio; Artist. Leaving aside the loyalty of the former, the latter would go into the cinema to watch such an epic drama film in the mood of appreciation or criticism, hoping to see the connotation they hoped for from Evan Bell’s lens. And the audience's mentality is like the trend of the movie, repressed, repressed, repressed; restrained, restrained, restrained, and in the end, like a thousand cannons and fireworks, all bloomed, blooming in the dark cinema The brightest light.

Starting from Wednesday, the situation of full crowded and sought after venues continued until Sunday. Such a sturdy box office appeal made the reporters stunned one by one. The news is bound to hit a new high.

When this week's North American box office list came out, "Blood Will Come" did not live up to the expectations of the film critics, with a box office of $151,000 in a single hall!

The single-hall box office of $151,000 failed to break the single-hall box office record of 170,000 live-action films created by "Brokeback Mountain", but it easily surpassed Evan Bell's three previous works "Adapted Screenplay", "Wild Survival" and "Little Miss Sunshine" not only ranked second in the history of live-action movie box office rankings, but also surpassed many Disney works in the box office rankings of all movies. The second live-action film after Brokeback Mountain that can make it into the top ten, ranking tenth!

Three months ago, "Wild Survival" just achieved an astonishing single-hall box office performance, and now, "The Blood Is Coming" has set a record again, which has indeed broken all people's ideas. What is even more exaggerated is that in the box office history rankings of the live-action film single hall, Evan Bell's three works "Brokeback Mountain", "The Blood Is Coming" and "Adapted Script" have completed the reign of the first, second and third runner-up! Among the top five, in addition to "Mrs. Veron", the fifth place is still from Evan Bell, who is "Little Sunshine Beauty". Of course, "Wild Survival", which has just been dropped from eighth to ninth on the list of "There Will Be Blood", is also from Evan Bell's work.

Evan Bell's appeal, even the big-hearted Hollywood Reporters, can't help but take a deep breath.

"Blood Will Come" was released in only two theaters, and the weekend box office reached 302,000 US dollars, ranking 22nd on the North American box office chart this week. This achievement really eclipsed other works. .

In the pressing trend of "There Will Be Blood", even "The Great Debater" and "I grew up in Iran" have won praise, and Denzel-Washington is known as a strong competition for the best actor. However, none of them could shake the topic status of "Blood is Coming". There is no doubt that "Blood is Coming" has drawn a successful conclusion to the contestants' debut in the 2007 awards season, making this year's slightly bleak awards season finally lively again.

The camp of "No Country for Old Men" vs. "Blood Will Come" vs. "Atonement" has been formed. If it weren't for the situation of writers' strikes still spreading, I am afraid that film critics would be applauded. Especially "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood Will Come", these two works are too topical.

It is also set in the small town of Marfa, Texas. It is also black, violent, and oppressive. It is a dangerous scene that describes the dark corner of human nature; it is like an epic, which tells the double cruelty of historical change and human struggle. The same compact, climaxing, and full of tension, one uses a lot of metaphors to open a new chapter in the narrative form of the film through novel narrative structure and anti-dramatic climax; content to its full potential. It is also a visual feast, and it is like drinking rain, but one is red wine, which has a strong mouth and a long aftertaste;

Judging from the current box office trend, the cumulative box office of "No Country for Old Men" has exceeded 40 million in eight weeks of release, which has reached the minimum threshold for the best picture Oscar; "The Blood Is Coming" has been released in the first week in word of mouth and single-house box office. With a dismount, the shock was so shocking that people were speechless. This is indeed a great matchup!

Then in the first week of January 2008, "Blood Will Come" expanded its screening in 50 theaters. It still had little to do with the box office competition, but the box office of the single theater still won the figure of 60,000 US dollars. At the weekend box office of $3 million, with a 1,000% growth, it soared to the 14th place in the North American box office chart. This achievement is really eye-catching.

With the advancement of the awards season~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the arrival of January also means that the awards season has actually entered the second half, and many well-received films are bound to perform well at the box office at this time. However, this year, due to the influence of the screenwriter's strike, many award ceremonies were cancelled, resulting in a number of commercial blockbusters such as "I Am Legend", "National Treasure 2", and "Mouse Laibao", which performed very well at the box office. Outstanding, and independent films, literary films, and drama films have no platform to further show themselves, and their performance at the box office is naturally unsatisfactory.

Especially after the 65th Golden Globe Awards ended in a dramatic way, it only ended up being a piece of chicken feathers, which made everyone start to worry, will the Oscar, which is celebrating its 80th birthday this year, also end in a bleak way? ? This situation has also affected the box office performance of "The Blood Is Coming" and "No Country for Old Men", which are expected to perform well in the awards season.

Fortunately, in the second week of January, the writers' union and the producers' union finally entered the negotiation stage again, and Sid Ganis also announced at the first time, "No accident, the 80th Oscars will continue as usual. ." Although this made people breathe a sigh of relief, this "no accident" still made people breathe a sigh of relief, and the focus of attention could not help but be placed on the situation of the screenwriters' strike.

Affected by the news that the Oscars will be held normally, the further expansion of "The Blood Will Come" once again showed impressive results at the box office.
