In its first week of massive overseas release, "Inception" won $183.04 million in overseas box office, and North America scored $62.23 million in the next weekend.
While winning the weekly box office championship in North America for the rest of the year, it also won the global weekly box office championship.
The film's North American box office reached a box office of US$229.41 million, and the global box office also reached US$412.45 million, with a box office easy.
At this time, some media suggested that "Inception" can follow in the footsteps of "Avatar" and become the second box office that exceeded 2 billion US dollars.
But Jr. thinks this is impossible. The two films are of different genres, and it is difficult for movies like "Inception" to continue to attract new audiences.
In fact, the theater survey results show that about 24% of viewers who have watched the video for the first time went back to the cinema to watch it again.
This is undoubtedly because the film itself is worth watching repeatedly. On the other hand, it is also because of the proper publicity strategy, which aroused the interest of movie fans in the exploration of the film. "Our goal is to break through a billion dollars." Gilbert Jr. said to the creators like this when promoting in London.
"For an original, non-sequel action science fiction movie, a billion-dollar box office is already a pretty good statistic."
It's not just good, it's just a burst of data.
You know, except for "Avatar", there is no original non-sequel movie that has exceeded one billion dollars in box office, even Gilbert Jr.
Generally speaking, a movie that has achieved a wide range of success usually attracts follow-up. After the success of "Avatar", countless 3D movies have been put into production.
After the success of Inception, the New York Post commented: "The success of Inception will allow directors to bring out the long-lost original stories and make the film company a reality A movie.
The emergence of original movies is a good thing for movie fans to Hollywood."
However, the reality disappointed the New York Post. There are indeed many directors who have produced original scripts, but not many scripts can enter the project establishment stage.
The reason is very simple. In the past decade, original movies have become increasingly depressed, and adaptation is the mainstream of Hollywood.
Not everyone is called Jibert Jr. The other directors do not have the reputation of Jibert Jr. and they can shoot whatever they want.
In terms of peripheral aspects, Inception also performed well.
The dream machine used in the video contains various dream manuals and posters. The ordinary version, which costs $198 per set, actually sold more than 180,000 sets in North America, with sales of more than 36 million yuan. Dollar.
The luxury version sold 60,000 units for $248, and the commemorative version sold 10,000 units for $298, which also created good sales.
The gyro totem used by Dom Cobb in the film also sold well, with sales exceeding US$25 million.
When selling peripherals, "Inception" is not the best, and now the peripheral revenue representative is the "Harry Potter" series. Every time the new Harry Potter movie is released, it can drive a billion-dollar market around it.
The direct or indirect industry scale related to "Harry Potter" is as high as tens of billions of dollars, becoming a big gold mine.
So Warner is unwilling to give up the copyright of "Harry Potter" after death. It is so profitable, and therefore, the decoupling is still delayed today.
Warner also wanted to bypass Cantaloupe Studio and Jibert Jr., contact J.K. Rowling directly, and try to capture the copyright.
But J.K. Rowling naturally refused and told Jibert Jr. about Warner's plan, and Jibert Jr. warned Warner again.
The most taboo thing to fight at the level of Jibert Jr. is to tear your face. Because once you break up, there is no room for maneuver. Gilbert Jr., Wall Street, and the medical complex, are no longer able to live in harmony because they have broken up and have no room for maneuver.
Although I don’t know what kind of benefits Wall Street promised to Warner, after several years of decoupling from Gibert Jr., Warner’s stock price is still stable and still rising. What transactions must be behind this. .
But this doesn't matter. Jibert Jr. won't suffer any loss. If you want him to vomit, the planner will have to pay the price.
The advantage in a capital society is that no one will make you pay unconditionally under the banner of responsibility, sacrifice, and patriotism. Everything you do must pay the corresponding cost and bear the corresponding cost.
Of course, you will also gain the relative benefits, then take control of power and stir up the storm.
The big sale of Inception also caused a chain reaction, first of all, the famous San Fernando Valley production company soon announced that they would make an adult version of Inception.
LSPs are of course looking forward to it. In terms of beauty, the porn stars in the San Fernando Valley are better than Hollywood actresses.
In addition, Matthew Vaughan, director of "X-Men: First Battle", said in an interview: "After watching "Inception", I tore off the original script.
Compare "Inception", I think the script now is just a piece of shit."
Matthew Vaughn was riding on the popularity, and he later announced that "X-Men: The First Battle" will focus on Professor X Story of Magneto when he was young.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
At that time, the two were close partners and worked hard for world peace.
Not only does "X-Men: The First Battle" do this, Marvel Studios is also not to be outdone. Just like the background of "Inception" selling well, Marvel Studios announced its new film "Avengers".
The film will gather superheroes who have previously released single-player movies to fight powerful enemies together, and Jibert Jr. will direct it himself.
Xigua Video also did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity, and announced its plan to make the first self-made drama, making the novel "House of Cards" into a series, and Gilbert Jr. will direct some of the series and serve as the role of Producer.
There is no choice. Jibert's name is too loud. It seems that the video can be sold as long as there is a scandal with him.
But the above rumors are not groundless, at least Gilbert Jr. does have this plan. And the other rumors that Gilbert Jr. was going to direct it himself, just to take advantage of the popularity.
For example, rumor spread from Twentieth Century Fox that it plans to invite Gilbert Jr. to direct "Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" for $40 million.
This movie tells a story about Lincoln being a vampire hunter before he became president. I'm afraid Lincoln himself didn't know that he had killed a vampire, nor did he know which genius came up with it.
Paramount Pictures also announced that it is trying to invite Gilbert Jr. to direct "Special Forces".
"Special Force" and "Transformers" are both toy brands under Hasbro. "Transformers" was a great success, and Paramount Pictures is naturally jealous of it. I hope "Special Force" will replicate this kind of thing. success.
But it would be fine to invite Jibert Jr. to direct such rumors, but Jibert Jr. will be full of work in the next few years.
"Avengers" on Marvel, as well as the last movie "The Dark Knight Rises" collaborated with Warner, Anne Hathaway's work on O'O, and the Cyberpunk series.
I am very busy, so I have no time to direct other people's movies.
The above are all rumors, but there are actually other projects that have found Jibert Jr.
The name of this project is "Interstellar", and the one who promoted this project was actually a theoretical physicist, Kip Thorne. (This chapter ends)
