Chapter 713 Rolling Torrent
"Cat and Mouse Game" weekend box office the next week: US$61.9 million.
Hollywood:? ? ?
In an instant, the entire Hollywood began to doubt life and was deeply immersed in question marks, unable to extricate itself.
Is it wrong for Warner Bros. to start tapping the market potential from the holiday season?
Should movie companies be targeting winter and autumn releases from the beginning?
Is "Cat and Mouse Game" an accidental phenomenon, or is this possible in other movies? After all, "Cat and Mouse Game" is not a typical blockbuster, and it has even been criticized for being petty. What does it mean that such a work can break through?
Question mark, question mark, question mark.
If the emergence of "Spider-Man" in the summer season brought cheers, and the pattern of people waiting and waiting finally pierced the last layer of window paper; then the "cat and mouse game" The breakthrough across the holiday period and winter period brings thinking, which is completely unexpected.
However, it’s good to hear and see.
It would be great if surprises like this could become the norm, and Hollywood would welcome it with both hands and feet.
And that’s still not all.
It should not be forgotten that the weekend box office in the first week of January was already slightly weak, because the real box office explosion of this week occurred in the middle of the week.
"Lord of the Rings 2" is the best proof. Although the box office of 25 million US dollars in three days over the weekend was accompanied by an unsatisfactory drop of nearly 50% in the third week of release; The box office broke out to 43 million US dollars in four days, still showing the amazing appeal of the movie.
Three weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Lord of the Rings 2" has exceeded US$260 million.
These are only North American box office figures, and there are currently no statistics for overseas markets.
So, the disappointment of "Lord of the Rings 2" is just a relative one. It's just that expectations are too high. Not only did it fail to rewrite the holiday schedule, but it was also slightly inferior to the first part of the series.
In fact, the movie still achieved profitability early and is still a crucial part of Warner Bros.'s tactical layout.
Similarly, the "cat and mouse game" is no exception.
The weekend box office was excellent, and the mid-week box office was even better. From Monday to Thursday, it swept the box office of 89 million US dollars, showing a voracious attitude.
The point is here, the mid-week box office figures are already a big hit; but I didn't expect that the weekend box office's endurance would still be so strong.
Two weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Cat and Mouse" has soared to US$250 million.
The accumulation speed is not inferior to that of "Spider-Man".
Surprise!
Exclamation!
Could it be that Anson is about to release two works with a box office of 600 million in North America in the same year?
That would be really shocking.
Even if things don’t happen for the time being, people still need to continue to pay attention to the box office trend. After all, January and the summer in the northern hemisphere are two different things. It will be more difficult to continue the strong performance at the subsequent box office; but it is only a possibility, and it is not possible. It was enough to drive the whole of Hollywood crazy.
Judging from the current trend, it should be a high probability event that "Cat and Mouse" exceeds US$400 million in North America. Considering that the investment cost of the film is only US$52 million, DreamWorks only relies on this one The movie made a lot of money, and may even become the highest-grossing film of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' individual careers.
Crazy, crazy, completely crazy.
The really amazing thing is that from the moment Anson stepped into the pop-up surprise event, the entire North American market followed Anson all the way forward and became crazy, getting involved in the rolling torrent as a witness and participant. This is undoubtedly amazing. The madness adds a touch of heart.

"...Flight AS597 from San Francisco to Chicago has begun boarding..."
In the air, the sound of a radio informing passengers of the latest flight news rippled. There were ripples, and the airport was still busy as usual with people coming and going.
A slender figure wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and a light blue denim jacket did not carry any luggage, but walked silently with a backpack on one shoulder, keeping a low profile and natural, without any special actions.
His tall and straight figure stands out from the crowd, and his eyes will be swept over inadvertently, and then he can notice the Kansas Chiefs baseball cap on his head. It is inevitable to guess that this young man must have just flown over from Kansas City. He stayed briefly and then drifted away without looking at it in detail. It wasn't too eye-catching among the crowds at San Francisco International Airport.
“Hey.”
A girl with shoulder-length hair hurried past, but stopped and returned, with a bright smile on her face , turned his head to look at the young man, and swallowed the words that were already on his lips.
Change a sentence.
"Sorry, although it's a bit rude, but has anyone ever said that you look like Anson Wood?"
Young man:...
A smile crept up the corner of his mouth, "Haha, in fact, this is no longer the case. This is the first time. I guess this is a compliment."
The short-haired girl smiled completely, "God, you really look like him. No offense, it's just my first time. I saw someone in real life... I'm sorry, you must think I'm a lunatic now."
The young man waved his hand gently and smiled back, "Don't worry, I have met someone who was direct and harsh. I shouted out, and then a group of people gathered around me. I explained to them that I was not, but they didn’t believe it and kept asking me to sign.”
The short-haired girl smiled brightly, "So how did you respond?"
The young man spread his hands helplessly, "I signed. But I have to be conscientious and make sure that I really don't mean to imitate him. I Signed Andy Woods."
"Haha." The short-haired girl was particularly happy, "I hope they can't tell."
The young man, "I am also a little conflicted, and I am thinking about it. I should study his signature, but I'm not sure whether I should imitate it more or less. Huh, I'm starting to understand his situation now."
The short-haired girl laughed again, "I promise. He is not as friendly as you.”
The young man smiled, "This is the only thing I can do."
"Haha." The short-haired girl couldn't stop laughing. "I shouldn't have delayed you. Again, I apologize. I think I should rush The plane is gone. By the way, you are very charming."
"Thank you. Should I say that?" The young man looked over politely.
The short-haired girl laughed heartily, waved her hands repeatedly, and left quickly, "No, you don't have to, but you still brightened up my bad day."
Watching the short-haired girl leave, The young man withdrew his gaze, continued to walk towards the exit, lowered the brim of his hat, and left quietly along with the crowd.
Arriving at the arrivals hall, just as he was about to take a step forward, he could see a tall figure holding up the sign in his hand with an expressionless expression.
Although there were no redundant movements, the pair of murderous eyes stared at the young man, ensuring that the young man would not miss it.
The young man looked around. He didn't know how the other party locked onto him in the crowd, so he couldn't help but lower his voice and muttered something.
"Could it be that a tracker has been installed?"
The sign clearly stated in capital letters:
Lucas Wood.
