Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

"Gravity" has been released in its fourth week, and in its fifth week it will face Cameron's "Avatar".

As Christmas approaches in the West, the film market has entered the hottest competition.

The global media public is looking forward to this most legendary showdown in history.

"Gravity" has made a good start. Can "Avatar" continue to shock everyone?

Will "Gravity" hit the bottom like "2012", or can it continue to entangle with "Avatar" and leave more legends in this legendary schedule?

Everyone is waiting to see!

In the three days of the fourth weekend, the box office of "Gravity" dropped significantly.

The three-day weekend box office in North America was 37 million U.S. dollars, European countries were 29 million U.S. dollars, and Asian countries also contributed nearly 30 million U.S. dollars.

In addition to the domestic RMB 240 million,

"Gravity" still dominates the global box office in its fourth week,

One hundred and seventy million dollars!

"Gravity" was amazed by the global media and swept the global box office with a total of US$1.4 billion!

Welcome the impact of "Avatar" with a lot of capital.

bring it on! Let’s fight!

Although Shanhe knew that his defeat was certain, he was still full of pride.

I have shocked the world and built an impenetrable dam for Chinese films.

No matter how turbulent the winds and waves come, I can still sit back and watch the clouds rise and disappear, and listen to the roaring tide with a smile!

Let the storm come more violently!

On December 18, "Avatar" held a huge premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Twelve years ago, James Cameron's "Titanic" was released on December 18th, also at the China Grand Theatre.

Obviously, Cameron and "Avatar" are very ambitious, and their goal is to break their own global box office record.

Fox’s external slogan is: A whole new world is waiting for you!

Although "Gravity" stole the 3DIMAX jackpot from "Avatar", it also brought more attention to it.

Movie fans and fans around the world are watching the premiere and reviews of "Avatar".

"Gravity" is brilliant, can "Avatar" continue?

The next day, fan reviews and Rotten Tomatoes scores for "Avatar" took center stage.

"Avatar"'s audience freshness rating is 95%, and the media's freshness rating is 89%, not even 90%.

Comparing "Gravity" horizontally, the audience freshness on the first day in North America was 99%, and the media freshness was 96%.

"Avatar" suffered a first defeat in terms of word-of-mouth!

However, this situation is understandable. After all, "Gravity" snatched the 3DIMAX jackpot of "Avatar".

With the foundation of "Gravity", "Avatar" will definitely bring less shock to movie fans and the media.

Fans' comments are all praising, praising Pandora for its fantastic fantasy, grand and shocking scenes, and fascinating story.

The next thing to look at is the first-day box office. Everything else comes second. The box office is the real proof.

Thirty-three million dollars!

"Avatar" gave a very complicated box office data.

It barely surpassed the first-day box office of "Gravity", but it felt a little shaky!

It stands to reason that the explosive power of "Avatar" exceeds this data. Everyone's expectations for it are surprisingly high, but they seem to be very reasonable.

Cameron's movies have always been like this. "Titanic" did not even break through 30 million U.S. dollars at the box office in its first week, but then continued to counterattack, and finally accumulated a box office of more than 600 million U.S. dollars in North America.

In fact, this figure has been increased by the chaos of Shanhe. In the original time and space, the first-day box office of "Avatar" was only 26 million.

Although this box office performance once again broke the original movie box office record of "Gravity", it obviously feels less interesting than "Gravity".

Shanhe only took a year and a half, and the production investment was only a little over 100 million. Compared with the 14 years of preparation for "Avatar", the filming cycle of more than four years, and the production investment of 500 million US dollars.

"Gravity" counts as the first to win the game!

But Cameron is from M country after all, and "Avatar" is a pure Hollywood movie.

The entire M country media is looking for reasons and balance for the movie!

"On its first day of release, "Avatar" achieved a great success at the box office and word-of-mouth, breaking the first-day box office record of the original film "Gravity"..."

"Cameron has its own winner and loser. The opening chapter of "Avatar" continues the 3D craze of "Gravity"..."

"The scenes are grand and the pictures are gorgeous. Cameron has created an incredible new world for the world. "Gravity" is not as good as "Avatar"..."

…

The North American media resorted to the method of protecting the calf, but other media around the world did not have such a big bias.

They wrote articles one after another giving their own judgments.

"Cameron suffered a defeat first, and the box office of "Avatar" on its first day in North America was not as good as expected..."

""Gravity" was squeezed by the release of "Avatar", and the box office on the first day of its fifth weekend in North America still exceeded 10 million. Shanhe started with a win..."

"Thirty-three million vs. thirty-two million, US$500 million vs. US$120 million, the winner of the first battle is obvious..."

…

There was even more joy in China, and various media reported it, and the pride and display were reflected in the words.

"Shanhe pierced Hollywood's thickest armor, and "Gravity" got off to a great start!"

"Thirty-three million U.S. dollars, Cameron made a false start, and his defeat seems to be certain in the face of mountains and rivers..."

"Shan He faced the King of Hollywood alone and won face to face. The whole world is cheering for Shan He..."

…

The fan base of Shanhe was even more elated. After reading the domestic media reports, they all felt that Shanhe had the ticket to win.

"The mountains and rivers are so strong that they really killed Cameron!"

"How much is the box office now? If "Titanic" were to be crushed, wouldn't the global box office record belong to China?"

"Haha... let me have a taste of what it's like to be oppressed by foreign movies!"

"Can the box office reach 100 million US dollars in the fifth week? 1.5 billion is just over 300 million. Keep going!"

…

Naturally, Shanhe and Chuhe Films are also following the release information of "Avatar" in real time.

When the word-of-mouth and first-day box office of "Avatar" reached Chuhe Film and Television, the entire Chuhe Film and Television internal network was abuzz.

Everyone is very optimistic about the situation.

Even Yang Liu and Zhong Lifang excitedly expressed their congratulations to Shanhe.

"Boss, congratulations, you have defeated the King of Hollywood!"

"Haha... I can start substantive negotiations with Disney. This time I will see how much valuation they give us!"

Shanhe looked at the two female generals who were laughing loudly. Although they also smiled at each other, he felt a little confused in his heart.

It shouldn't be. In my memory, "Avatar" has a box office of over 700 million in North America and 2.8 billion in global box office. Is there something wrong with my memory?

Originally, the first-day box office performance of "Avatar" was really unclear. Based on the current situation, the only possibility is that "Avatar" has strong stamina.

"Don't be too happy too early. Cameron's movies cannot be judged by common sense!"

"Can he repeat the "Titanic" counterattack again?"

"Hard to say!"

…

"Avatar" ended its first three-day release with a North American box office of 11.3 billion, surpassing "Gravity" by about 10 million. The global box office has just exceeded 400 million, 403 million, which is higher than "Gravity". "Gravity"'s first-week box office of 415 million was still 13 million short of it!

The biggest reason is the lack of China, a large and increasingly powerful vote bank.

The global media knows the reason, but data is data, and the fact that "Avatar" fell behind in the first week compared to "Gravity" is a fact.

The media went into a carnival. "Gravity" vs. "Avatar", Shanhe vs. Cameron, this topic became the front page of the day's online and offline media.

The two movies are so close together that they both grossed more than 400 million US dollars in their first week. The figures are so close that the winner is so close that they can be talked about. It feels like a legendary competition.

Shanhe and "Gravity" took the lead in the media's publicity reports.

With all this hype, the global box office of "Gravity" once again exceeded 100 million in its fifth week, only 50 million US dollars less than last week, reaching 120 million US dollars.

The release of "Avatar" did not cause the box office of "Gravity" to plummet. Its box office curve is declining, but it is still healthy and strong.

"Gravity" has accumulated a box office of 1.52 billion in five weeks, which is really not far away from "Titanic"!

Faced with this situation, Disney and Chuhe Film and Television were ecstatic and once again invested money into the topic hype.

The two films formed a legendary confrontational release.

Typical mutual bundling and mutual hype, pushing all other movies far out of the ring.

"2012" has completely announced the end of its schedule, with a North American box office of 170 million and a global box office of 480 million.

The iconic disaster film that originally had a global box office of more than 800 million was stepped directly into the mud by Shanhe, and left the global film market in disgrace.

Faced with this situation, the happiest thing is naturally the global entertainment media. Shanhe and Cameron are really their bread and butter. The two movies have brought so many topics to the public.

Various reports come at random, and they are so well written. Regarding box office, word-of-mouth, plot, actors, etc., any one of them can turn out to be a wonderful drama.

And readers are all over the world. If they come here every year, it is estimated that the global entertainment industry will support more than 30% of media reporters!

Shanhe and Cameron became the targets of all media pursuits!

What's surprising is that both of them hid in unison. The movie's hype has reached this point. It doesn't matter whether they show up or not. Maintaining a sense of mystery will make the topic more attractive.

Therefore, as a Hollywood superstar and Shanhe's girlfriend, Hathaway has become the subject of most attention this Christmas.

Her participation in "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" broke the program's ratings record. Nearly 40 million people in North America watched this special episode of The Magic Couple.

As soon as this video of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" was released on the Internet, the click rate soared to over 100 million, and it can even be seen everywhere on the Chinese Internet.

The global public is really too curious about this evil figure like Shan He. What is he doing right now and what is he thinking in his heart?

Hathaway's answer made people around the world burst into laughter.

In the show, host Allen's questions and Hathaway's questions were both called jokes on the Internet.

"Annie, how was your stay at Qiu's parents' home for two weeks? Will the cultural differences affect your relationship?"

"I'm very happy. I'm not pretending. I'm really happy. There are definitely cultural differences, but my Chinese family is very interesting. The atmosphere at home is relaxed and lively. I blend in very quickly. It's not like a TV series at all. Amid the intrigues in the chaebol family, Qiu has a very cute sister. As long as she is around, there will never be a shortage of joy!"

"Can you tell us what you do on a daily basis?"

"Play mahjong! Chinese is a bit hard to pronounce, but this is a very ancient Chinese chess and card game. It's so fascinating. I like it very much. Mr. Qiu is there to guide me on how to play. However, his competitive level is very poor and he is always beaten. My family resented it and complained, so they could only watch from the sidelines and were not even qualified to be on stage!"

Hathaway's answer made Allen and the audience laugh.

"Haha... So, a magician who is famous outside seems to have a low status at home?"

Hathaway covered her mouth and chuckled,

"Haha... In the Qiu family, his sister Xi is the most favored one, and now including me, the treatment of Qiu's family is much worse than ours!"

"Okay! Poor Qiu! He is majestic outside, but he is bullied at home. I suddenly feel a lot more balanced!"

Ha ha…

A burst of laughter sounded again.

"Besides the sport called Mahjong, what other topics are particularly popular among you?"

"Then there is Qiu's new book. It is a very exciting novel. The whole family likes it. Everyone will give Qiu different opinions. Qiu's father is particularly fascinated and often urges Qiu to write!"

"Can you tell us something about the novel?"

"Well~ I can only tell you the title of the book. The name of the new book is "Young Yi's Life of Fantasy"!"

"Wow! This is an exclusive headline. What can you imagine from the title of the book? "Young Yi's Fantasy Life", there is a young man named Yi, who went on a fantasy drifting?

Well, my imagination is so poor that I can't guess even a little bit of the plot! "

Ha ha…

Allen looked at Hathaway who was laughing and continued to ask,

"What about "Gravity"? I've been steering the topic towards the movie. Annie, why don't you always cooperate with me? It's killing me!"

Hathaway covered her mouth and laughed along with the audience,

"Alan, I didn't mean to do it, but "Gravity" is really not a topic worth looking forward to in the Qiu family!"

"Why? "Gravity" is so popular around the world. Isn't this Qiu's pride? His family should be particularly concerned about it!"

"hehe…"

Hathaway recalled Xie Meiyu’s nagging about Shanhe,

"Qiu's mother thinks that he is not doing his job properly by making movies, and often reminds him that he should focus on his plans to get married and have children. Her words represent the opinions of the whole family. Qiu cannot resist his mother's decision at home!"

"What?"

Allen looked at Hathaway in disbelief,

"Making a movie is not doing your job properly? Oh my God, Roland Emmerich had to cry in the bathroom, and Qiu, who was not doing his job properly, beat him all over his head. "2012" was really unfair!"

Laughter resounded throughout the audience again, and Hathaway on the stage was no exception.

After a moment, Allen asked again doubtfully,

"Is Qiu's mother the head of the family? I see her name is also on the list of richest people in China. What about Qiu's father? This is very different from my understanding of China. China should not be particularly feudal. Is it traditional? A man should be the one who has the final say in the family?"

"Ellen, the actual situation is too different from your perception. The status of women in China is very high, even higher than that of Country M. Their leader once said that 'women hold up half the sky.' In China, professional women They are everywhere, and the proportion of women in all walks of life is very high. Full-time housewives are not popular in China, and this trend is still expanding!"

"Really? Unbelievable!"

…

This special episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" featuring magicians and couples has a surprisingly high click-through rate on the Chinese Internet.

At this time, "Gravity" won "Avatar" for the first time, and people across the country were overjoyed. Shanhe and Hathaway's daily moments attracted everyone's attention.

The content of the show is also very festive, and Hathaway's every answer can cause laughter and discussion.

"Haha... Shanhe's status at home is almost the same as mine! They all belong to the working people at the bottom!"

"Are all mothers in the world the same? Urging to get married and have grandchildren is always the first priority! Life in the world is not easy!"

"When playing mahjong, Hathaway said it was so elegant. I had an orgasm instantly. This is the true face of mahjong. I dare to predict that mahjong will become popular all over the world, and it will not be surprising to hold a global professional league in the future!"

"The name of Shanhe's new book is "The Fantasy Life of Young Yi". Does this have anything to do with tigers? Could it be that Young Yi is a tiger?"

…

"Shanhe is a really nice daughter-in-law. She is very pleasing to the eye. She always helps her husband's family speak for her!"

…

Amid all kinds of disturbances, "Avatar" has started its second week of global release, while "Gravity" has entered its sixth week of release.

Two phenomenal films went head-to-head in the global film market.

But in China, "Gravity" is still unique.

In mid-December, "The Tomb" and "Mulan" were released one after another, and both held grand premieres.

Jay Chou, Lin Chiling, Mou Wei, and Chen Kun are all top celebrities in the country, and the guests attending the premiere were also star-studded.

But it's of no use. "Gravity" in the fifth and sixth weeks is still crushing them.

With the proliferation of pirated discs in the market, the attendance rate of "Gravity" in ordinary venues has indeed continued to decline, but it is still difficult to get tickets for 3D shows. 3DIMAX tickets have been sold online for thousands of dollars each.

The media lamented that "Gravity" had no domestic rivals in the first nine weeks, and only "Avatar" three weeks later might be able to end Shanhe's domestic dominance.

In the second week, "Avatar" revealed its original arrogance.

It swept the entire European and American markets, including South America and Southeast Asia.

Only a few countries in East Asia have not formed a prairie fire situation like Europe and the United States.

"Avatar" is indeed too suitable for Westerners' aesthetic requirements, and the magic of Pandora is unstoppable.

In the seven days of the second week, "Avatar" grossed US$200 million in North America, US$320 million in overseas markets, and US$520 million globally.

The rampant momentum is even more astonishing than "Gravity".

It exceeded 900 million US dollars in ten days, and the global media and public were truly shocked by these two perverts.

This situation of taking turns to fight for two consecutive months has swept the world, and each one is more abnormal than the last. It is estimated that it is unprecedented and unprecedented!

This is the first time a movie has had such a huge impact on public opinion around the world!

"Gravity" did not show any weakness, and the global box office still exceeded 100 million US dollars in its sixth week.

In East Asia, although "Avatar" also did well at the box office, overall it is not a rival to "Gravity".

The sixth week versus the second week, 1.6 billion vs. 900 million US dollars!

This is so exaggerated that even science fiction novels would not dare to write it!

The legendary battle at the box office will continue!
