The North American market is the most mature and well-developed commercial film territory in the world. Due to various historical backgrounds and social reasons, the effect of two sets of tights is bringing more constraints to the market, but instead breeds uncertainty. The inevitable price of pioneering and enterprising at the forefront.
Relatively speaking, it is relatively stable and relatively mature overseas markets—such as Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Australia, etc., which are in the most stable state of the system at this stage, and the superstar effect and word-of-mouth effect can still be brought into full play. The box office of excellent works will never disappoint, and the laws and context of the market are still the most familiar appearance, so that film companies can rest assured.
This also means that works with outstanding reputation will not be let down in overseas markets, such as "Captain America 2", "X-Men: Reverse the Future" and other works, and the box office results are more stable than the North American market. It is also the reason why major film companies are paying more and more attention to overseas markets. Now, it's Interstellar's turn.
Facts have also proved this.
In June, "Interstellar Crossing" began to land in overseas markets one after another; finally, in October, the film landed in Japan, the last large market in the world, announcing that "Interstellar Crossing" was completed in 64 countries and regions around the world: although the overall release The number of regions is not the largest, inferior to "Captain America 2", "Transformers 4" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" and other works, but the excellent box office numbers easily surpassed a number of competitors and handed over a perfect answer.
Unexpected but reasonable, the Korean market exploded with incredible energy, and even surpassed Renly's hometown of the United Kingdom in one fell swoop, becoming the second largest ticket holder in the world's overseas market - second only to Huaxia, and a single market. Collecting 100 million US dollars at the box office, this has also become the third market for "Interstellar" to exceed 100 million at the global box office. The sturdy data has caused a lot of exclamations.
Accident
A surprise indeed! The Korean film market, whose presence has never been comparable to that of China and Japan, is not much recognizable compared with many mature markets in Europe, although it has often been able to break out into a frenzy when superhero movies are released—this is also Disney’s Marvel movie. The reason why I always like to go to South Korea for publicity is undoubtedly the biggest reason. However, in terms of box office numbers, it still lacks explosive power. The small population is a major reason, and the total population is low. The way to give more support to movies and music like Japan is another major reason. In the final analysis, it is the inherent shortcomings of the market that limit South Korea's influence.
But this time, the Korean market has erupted with such terrifying and terrifying energy, which is really eye-catching.
Not surprised
In fact, it can be expected. The core theme of "Interstellar Crossing" is the relationship between father and daughter, which is too sensational for North America and Europe, and has become a lot of slots; but for South Korea, it is just right, and it can even be said to be just right for appetite. Such emotions resonate deeply. His works can always find a place in this market, and even trigger a movie-watching frenzy. To this day, pure love movies still have a solid market foundation—to a certain extent, compared to the neighboring countries of China and Japan In other words, such sensational films tend to achieve better results in South Korea.
So, here comes the result!
"Interstellar" made history in the Korean market! It has become the third overseas film in the history of Korean films with over 10 million viewers; it is also the fourteenth film in the history of Korean films with over 10 million viewers; and finally the second longest in Korean film history The number of overseas imported works with box office data exceeding 100 million US dollars!
Because the total population of South Korea is about 50 million, the standard for measuring a movie is not the box office number, but the number of moviegoers. Generally speaking, the revenue benchmark point is 5 million people, which means that one out of ten people has seen this work; and all the works that can exceed 10 million people are all works recorded in history, with an average of five. It's absolutely terrifying that one of the individuals has seen this work.
In 2003, "Silmi Island" became the first film in the history of Korean films with more than 10 million viewers. Since then, more excellent works have appeared one after another. Unconsciously, it was possible to create such a feat. The works also reached double digits, but as a whole, they began to be dominated by local Korean films - as for imported films from overseas, only two works have achieved such a feat, and there is no "Avengers".

In 2009, "Avatar" created such a feat for the first time in the Korean market, which is also the Korean box office champion as of June 2014; then "Frozen" released at the end of 2013, and now "Interstellar" .
In the end, "Interstellar" has reached 12.27 million viewers in South Korea, ranking among the top ten viewers in Korean movie history, temporarily behind "Avatar" and "Hanjiang Monster" , "League of Thieves", "Gift from Room No. 7", "Double King" and "The King's Man", ranked seventh!
Even though it was predicted in advance that "Interstellar" might achieve good results in South Korea, the final results were so good that they could even be called sturdy and strong. prelude,
The United Kingdom, France, Russia, Germany, Poland, Australia, Italy and Japan ranked third to tenth in overseas markets respectively.
The unexpected rise of China and South Korea has eclipsed the British market and almost disappeared from the global box office news reports, but in fact, the British box office of "Interstellar" is also very gratifying, with a box office data of 50 million US dollars It is still particularly conspicuous, but the outburst of competitors caught everyone off guard, and was unfortunately robbed of all the light; and the United Kingdom is not the only market that has been ignored, or in other words, China and South Korea are not the only two. An "unexpected rise".
The outbreak of the Russian and Polish markets is also eye-catching, especially the latter. "Interstellar" has fetched 20 million US dollars at the box office in the Polish market. This is the second work in Poland's history to exceed the 20 million threshold. - The last one is "Avatar", which is enough to prove the amazing degree of the box office.
Obviously, the different positioning of "Interstellar Crossing" in different markets still produced many variables and also brought many surprises.
In addition to the above ten countries and regions, the total box office of Spain, China/Taiwan/Taiwan, Brazil, and Mexico all exceeded the threshold of 10 million US dollars, and the major markets around the world have all handed in an excellent answer sheet, continuing to The constant strong performance has swept away the worries and haze in the early stage of the premiere. This is the box office number that truly meets the expectations of "Renly meets Nolan".
Following the North American market, overseas market performance has also surpassed works such as "Maleficent", "Captain America 2" and "X-Men: Reverse the Future", and has appeared in "Transformers 4" and other powerful competitors. Previously, "Interstellar" briefly topped the 2014 North American grossing and global grossing No. 1 spot.
In the end, "Interstellar" became the first work in 2014 to break the threshold of US$600 million at the overseas box office, reaching US$672 million!
So far this year, the most outstanding overseas box office performance is "Maleficent" with $517 million, slightly ahead of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" by less than $3 million, holding the U.S. box office and global box office The box office champion - "Captain America 2" can only rank third in global box office numbers, and the number behind is nearly 50 million, the gap is relatively obvious; but now all the data have been greatly refreshed by "Interstellar", and it really lived up to expectations !
This achievement easily surpassed the overseas box office of "Inception" of $535 million and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" of $636 million, setting a new record for Nolan's directorial career. At the same time, it also became the second-highest overseas box office work of Renly's personal career, surpassing "Edge of Tomorrow" and second only to "Gravity".
