In the history of North American films, the fastest breakthrough reached 100 million, 200 million... all the way to 400 million! Five hundred million! "Jurassic World" has continuously refreshed historical records with a destructive attitude. In just 15 days, it successfully crossed the threshold of 500 million, and ran towards the height of 600 million.
In just 24 days, "Jurassic World" has become the fifth film in North American film history to exceed 600 million at the box office. The previous four were "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers", "Earth" Gravity", which now welcomes its fifth member, forming the apex of the pyramid.
Off topic, the most notable thing is that "Avatar", "Titanic" and "Gravity" are all original works, not sequels or copyrights, contrary to the overall Hollywood industry trend; even "Avengers" Alliance" and "Jurassic World", the previous series have been fully paved for a long time, but as far as the movie itself is concerned, it is also a brand new work, not a sequel such as "XX 2" and "XX3".
This also shows that sequel films can be built in an assembly line and continue the way of making money for film companies; but what the market is really willing to buy is still original ideas, but it is difficult for sequel films to reach such a high level - contrary to the industrial management of film companies, the market gives different answers.
Further, DreamWorks, Lionsgate, A24 Pictures, Sisyphus Pictures, etc., small companies that started from independent films and then developed a world, they still have a huge living space, even Disney and Warner. Even if the brothers join forces, they cannot completely clear the market.
Of course, the "Jurassic World" in the eyes of major Hollywood film companies is a different scene. Obviously, it is not an original, but a sequel series, and it is an assembly line work. determination, the only exceptions are:
Renly-Hall.
After "Gravity", Renly has his second North American 600 million works, which also makes him enough to be on a par with James Cameron -
The two box office champions in the history of the film gave James the opportunity to mobilize one billion dollars to shoot the "Avatar" five-part film, such a treatment that even Steven Spielberg never had, even within Hollywood, James' status and Power is always at the forefront, even aloof.
Now, Renly is shoulder to shoulder with James.
In February, two Oscars; in May, two in Cannes; in June, 600 million in North America. The first half of 2015 belonged to that unique Renly.
Objectively speaking, "Renly makes history", this is no longer news, this is an actor destined to rewrite the history of North American film, whether it is age or historical data, everything is constantly writing records; but despite In this way, the first half of the year is still a myth.
Even crazier than being an EGOT at a young age!
When "Jurassic World" peaked at 230 million on the premiere weekend, many people sighed in succession. The feat of 400 million in North America for four consecutive years is enough to make Renly's name go down in history and go down in history— Although North American film history has long recorded his name.
But after just four weeks, people began to discuss the possibility of "800 million in North America"
This is really crazy!
Since the "Star Wars" hit a record high of 400 million North American box office in 1977, the North American market has gone through ups and downs in just 40 years, reaching the "Titanic" of 600 million in North America. This journey is a whole It took 20 years; to reach the 700 million in North America of "Avatar", this part of the journey took another 12 years; now it is only six years, will North America enter the next stage to challenge the height of 800 million
America's Attention!
greatly awaited!
Emotionally!
However, calm down and think hard:
Everyone once thought that "100 million in a single day" was an impossible task, but "Jurassic World" was easily achieved; now, many people think that the era of "800 million in North America" has not yet come, but the audience A different answer is given, so, "who" is the right side
"Many audiences have misunderstandings about acting. In my opinion, acting is not just an interpretation, but an understanding and integration. Even in popcorn movies, not every actor can adapt to every role. Yes, and that's why a casting director must exist."
In an interview with Us Weekly, Steven Spielberg expressed this stance when he answered the question about "whether Renly made 'Jurassic World'".
"What's great about Renly is that he can give a character a soul, including his own understanding, including the extension of the plot, which are inseparable. Twenty-two years ago, when I was writing 'Jurassic Park' , I tried to evolve the imagination in my dream into reality. Dinosaurs are the soul of the whole film; and twenty-two years later, when we recreated this story, Renly became the core of the connection between dinosaurs and reality. We're trying to tell a story about a dinosaur that affected real life and changed the world, and Renly made that possible."
"It's an important change for the movie. So when you ask Renly if it made the movie, my answer is yes. I also believe that the box office gives the best answer, not just 'dwarfs' Luo Ji World', countless movies before this, have already given the answer."
Speaking of this, Steven laughed happily, "I look forward to 'Jurassic World' being able to use Renly's influence to make more people fall in love with dinosaurs and let more people dream with me. .We welcome everyone to join the filmmaking ranks, and anyone can make a film."
When the "U.S. Weekly" interview was conducted, the North American box office of "Jurassic World" had just exceeded 500 million, and it was far from reaching the follow-up height, but Steven was still asked about box office expectations.
"It's not a topic that I can decide, but I look forward to the film making history. When James did it, maybe Renly can do it. I look forward to him doing what I haven't been able to do. George and I can do it. All expecting Renly to deflate James."
The amount of information is a bit large, and only a director like Steven can mention a lot of bigwigs lightly.
After the "Jurassic World" North American box office exceeded 650 million, "US Weekly" once again organized an exclusive interview, this time the interview object is James Cameron.
"Yes! Yes, the answer is 100% yes with me, there is no doubt."
Can "Jurassic World" break through 800 million at the North American box office? That's James' answer.
"Honestly, I've been waiting for someone to break this record, because the record was born to wait for future generations to come and break it. There were a few more technical issues working on the Avatar' sequel, and the endless discussions never stopped."
"I'm looking forward to breaking box office records because it will prove that our movie market is still dynamic and that audiences are still willing to go into theaters to see those attractive works on the big screen, which is very helpful for me and my colleagues. The work being done is important.”
"If 'Jurassic World' sets this record, I'm very happy. I also believe that Steven should be very happy to see such a result."
James was then asked about Renly - after all, he has never worked with Renly, and of course Renly has never worked with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas , Francis Ford Coppola and others have worked together, and the times are different after all.
"In fact, I watched 'Gravity' in the cinema, and I personally liked Renly's performance very much. It can be seen that he can interpret his own things according to the requirements of the director, and give the characters more charm. Undoubtedly a very rare and unique thing.”
"I don't think our crew has enough budget to invite Renly to film, and there will be many uncertainties about his shooting schedule, but if there is a chance in the future, I can imagine a 'The Abyss' like It should be able to bring out Renly's unique temperament. I heard that Ridley Scott is preparing for the follow-up story of 'Blade Runner', and I would highly recommend him to talk to Renly."
There is no politeness or compliment, but the sincerity is revealed between the lines, and the positive attitude of this great director can also be seen from the side.
At the end of the interview, James reiterated affirmatively, "Eighty million, yes, I'm sure there should be no problem with 'Jurassic World' North American 800 million, in fact, I think you should consider 900 million. Why not? Maybe? One day, a billion-dollar single market is also possible. We should look forward to movies.”
From Steven Spielberg to James Cameron, these film gurus have voiced their opinions, voiced their opinions in interviews; but they care less about a record and more about it The deep content represented by the record is just like the major Hollywood studios.
