In the second week of July, "Minions with Big Eyes" produced by Universal Pictures topped the North American weekend box office chart and officially took over the championship scepter from "Jurassic World".
In the third week of July, the new Marvel superhero "Ant-Man" debuted, but the weight has shrunk several times like Ant-Man, narrowly defeating his opponent and ascending to the top of the championship.
In the fourth week of July, the highly anticipated "Pixel Wars" and "Paper Towns" both encountered Waterloo, and "Ant-Man" won the weekend box office title with an advantage of less than $80,000.
Then, "Mission Impossible 5" and "Fantastic Four 2015" came.
The box office competition in the summer season is still full of sparks and passion. You sing and I will appear. The lively scene of gongs and drums has always maintained attention, whether you like it or not, no matter the magnitude, whether it is successful or not, the exposure rate And the degree of discussion can always seize the first line of vision.
After the strong four consecutive championships, "Jurassic World" also had to face the repeated bombardment of strong opponents. However, after withstood the fierce impact of the second and third consecutive weeks, the film basically stood firm. , the audience frenzy maintains a stable development curve and determines its historical position early.
North American 700 million and film history records, these are basically no suspense, and now people are concerned about: When will the milestone officially come
After retiring from the championship, "Jurassic World" still maintains strong competitiveness. Even though new films continue to seize the market, the film's box office decline is still very well controlled, and it begins to gradually narrow, falling back to Within 40%, or even within 30%, this also makes the cumulative box office rise always stable, the dawn of record-making is gradually approaching, and the suspense is getting smaller and smaller.
On July 22, the cumulative box office of "Jurassic World" officially crossed the 700 million threshold, becoming the third North American film after "Avatar" and "Titanic" to make $700 million.
capstone novel
Although this is an expected result, it can be seen from the box office development curve, but it was so fast and so fast that it still attracted a lot of exclamations, and Universal Pictures was even more proud-Disney and Warner Bros. were not able to complete it. They took the lead in completing the feat before Marvel and DC. Universal Pictures, which was once criticized for being petty, lacking in courage and lack of competitiveness, has really risen strongly.
On Saturday, August 8th, the whole of North America is exclaiming that "Fantastic Four 2015" has rotted into a stinking ditch. The comprehensive review scored 27 points and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness index was 9%.
As a result, the $25 million opening weekend box office compared to the $120 million investment cost is now predictable for a bloodbath-style fiasco that should be the worst since a superhero movie made a strong comeback in 2008. A failure, even arguably the worst in history.
At the same time, "Jurassic World" also wrote history on the same weekend, but it was a completely different history. This work officially surpassed "Avatar" and reached the top of North American film history with a figure of 762 million US dollars. The box office champion, the much-anticipated dynasty change has finally arrived.
North American Film History Champion!
From "Titanic" to "Avatar" to "Jurassic World", the title that has belonged to James Cameron since 1997 has finally given way to Colin Trevorrow - But the media is more willing to call it, Renly Hall officially crowned the first person in film history.
coming! finally come!
Since the official debut of "War in the Pacific", Renly has left too many traces in the history of the film industry. In any aspect, Renly is a well-deserved top star, with a strong appeal and far-reaching influence can cover To the corners of real life, no one can match.
Among them, in 2013 and 2014, they won the North American and global box office champions for two consecutive years. In 2014, they swept the first and second places in the North American box office. The unparalleled dominance is enough to make any film company tremble, and no one can ignore Renly. , which also spawned more discussions:
Can the "Renly Universe" stand up to the "Marvel Universe" and "DC Universe"? Can Renly break the mold of commercial movies? Can Renly transform the North American market bound by two bodysuits? Can Renly be the No. 1 in North American film history in his own right? Can Renly revive the golden age of the Hollywood film industry? Can Renly shake the wheel of an era on his own? How much can Renly change
More and more superhero movies are dominating the big screen, and the North American movie box office charts are also being washed. Although the champion and runner-up positions are still firmly held by original movies, the top ten and top 20 seats are being Earth-shaking, the living space of other types of movies is being drastically compressed, so what can Renly do? Can Renly's power alone change the pattern of the market and the times
Then, they waited until "Jurassic World".
Admittedly, this is a "sequel movie"; it's a "copyright movie"; it's a "Hollywood assembly line movie"... Attributes like these cannot be ignored, but the core reason why the movie really works is Renly —Lack of Renly, maybe this movie can still achieve great results, but it is far from reaching the heights it is now:

Two changes and two transfers, all related to Renly, this is the real historical moment!

Beyond the "Avengers", beyond the "Titanic", beyond the "Avatar", the box office journey of "Jurassic World" is very solid step by step, but now is still not the time to stop, 700 million After 62 million, there is still a higher goal!
From July to August, the whole summer season has calmed down. Even "Mission Impossible 5" has not been able to burst out enough energy in the praise of word of mouth. Instead, the music movie "Rush Out of Compton" has become a It is a counter-attack against the dark horse, perfectly replicating the miracle journey of "Pitch Perfect 2".

Raised the record by fifty million in one go.
Although professionals have boldly and bravely predicted the follow-up development curve when the film handed over a record-level decline in the second week of its release, "$800 million" is not an earth-shattering result, but a logical ending after the shock. ; but when history is actually created, the exclamation and surprise are still indescribable - prediction is one thing, actual occurrence is another, which is completely different.
