Box Office Hit

The Three-Body Problem is like a wave sweeping the movie market this summer. After the third week, this movie's box office is destined to be a myth.

Three weeks later, the film's North American box office has exceeded $350 million. This number can be said to be of great significance because Spider-Man 3, which was released a month earlier, has now surpassed The Three-Body Problem at the box office.

It has been more than a month since Spider-Man 3 was released, and it has already been downloaded on a large scale. The movie's box office revenue totaled 330 million yuan from the beginning to the end of filming. Originally, this figure should be said to be the champion of this summer, but no one expected that its box office has now been surpassed, and it has been surpassed by a movie that has only been released for just three weeks.

Spider-Man 3 is a big-budget movie with an investment of 250 million. Although it is slightly lower than the investment figure of Three-Body Problem 2, it is definitely a well-deserved blockbuster. When it premiered, it also had a box office miracle, but unexpectedly, it only took three weeks for Trisolaris 2 to surpass it.

The reason is actually just because the reputation of Spider-Man 3 is really poor. The box office of Spider-Man 3 in the first week is a myth of 150 million US box office. However, after all, this movie is just a visual blockbuster with little reputation, and because the production is not very good, it is even considered to be the most gangster movie and also suffered huge declines.

That movie's 60% drop can be said to be extremely painful, which also makes it impossible to compare the box office of that movie with The Three-Body Problem. The Three-Body Problem has surpassed it in just three weeks, firmly locking in the box office championship this year.

And this week, there is another piece of good news. In the North American market, his box office has exceeded 350 million at the time and globally. His box office figures even exceeded the one billion mark.

There have been a lot of blockbusters in recent years. A movie that can earn a box office of RMB 780 million can only be regarded as qualified in this era and cannot be regarded as special. However, even in this era, the box office mark of one billion is still a threshold that cannot be passed. Many movies have good box office and strong popularity, but they are also restricted by objective reality and cannot break through the numbers - after all, the number of movie fans will not suddenly increase. Naturally, the income from watching movies will not suddenly increase.

But now, this number is surprising. In just a few weeks, The Three-Body Problem has already reached the third place in film history, with a box office of 1 billion. This figure is simply incredible. It seems that compared to the United States, audiences in other countries are also very enthusiastic about this movie that promotes technological innovation.

Apparently, within the next week, the total box office performance surpassed Lord of the Rings 3 and rose to second place in film history. There is not even a time of suspense; it is just a matter of next week.

"This movie's only enemy now is the Titanic."

When seeing such box office results, Almost all media have come to the same conclusion. In just four weeks, it surpassed The Lord of the Rings 3, a figure of one billion, which is extremely difficult for other movies. For him, it was easily reached, except for the big ship. Is there any other movie that can match it at the box office?

Moreover, even that big boat may be surpassed - the more people understand the potential of this movie, the more they will think like this.

Before the movie was released, some media once asserted that it is no longer possible for movies to be played for a long time in this era. The original Big Ship could be played continuously for six months and could be at the top box office for many weeks. In this Times are no longer possible. However, now, Three-Body Problem 2 seems to have broken this statement.

Three weeks have passed, and the box office of The Three-Body Problem has shown no downward trend. The movie's weekly box office numbers are still the highest among all movies. There is no reason why a movie that is at the top of the box office this week should suddenly drop off the next week, so it will continue to play even in its fourth week.

Compared with the premature aging of many current blockbusters, the most terrifying thing about this movie is not its high box office numbers but its enduring vitality. Even in the fourth week, the box office basically didn't drop much, which is what's shocking.

How long this movie can be shown has become the biggest question in people's minds.

The emergence of a classic movie like Titanic is naturally what every filmmaker would like to see. But if such a movie dominates the entire summer vacation, it will be a nightmare for other film companies. If a movie is released for too long, other movies will have no chance of survival. Is it possible that this summer, people will all watch this movie?

Fortunately, by the fifth week, the film's lasting vitality seems to have taken a big blow. This week, the movie's box office finally saw a slight decline.

This week, there's finally a movie that can make an impact. The release of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 can be said to be the best rival to The Three-Body Problem at the box office.

People did not expect that Pirates of the Caribbean could successfully block the Three-Body Problem 2. After all, from the fact that it avoided Three-Body Problem 2 when choosing its schedule, we know that it has no intention of competing with the Three-Body Problem. However, The Three-Body Problem has been released for a month now, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is a new film released, so it should be able to surpass it, right? After all, this is a movie that is aiming to be the box office champion of the year. In terms of production, it is not bad at all.

The box office of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 did not disappoint people at all. It defeated The Three-Body Problem in the first week of its release and won the box office championship this week with a box office figure of 112 million, which also made everyone feel relieved.

It seems that The Three-Body Problem is not completely invincible. It will still be defeated when it encounters extremely popular big-budget movies.

However, although this pirate ship is also very popular, it makes people more clearly see the tenacious vitality of Trisolaris 2. He was also unable to cause serious damage to Trisolaris 2. The decline of Trisolaris 2 was only 9.5%, which can be said to be nothing more than a small scratch.

It seems that this movie is on its way to surpassing Titanic, and it can be said that it will go all the way to the end.

"In 1997, Titanic created a Hollywood miracle with the concept of blockbusters. And ten years later, the new concept of 3D movies is about to refresh its record again. The Three-Body Problem 2 marks the beginning of the 3D movie era. Come, this is definitely a movie worth remembering."

Almost all media have already commented on this achievement.

In fact, there is no need for them to comment. When The Three-Body Problem 2 was a hit, other film companies had already confirmed its significance to Hollywood earlier than they did.

The success of 3D movies, of course, has a great impact on Hollywood as a whole. After proving that this kind of movie can be popular, all of a sudden. There are also many movies in Hollywood, all of which are looking forward to trying to create such a movie.

Everyone has seen the huge benefits of 3D movies. Being able to have a box office performance of more than 1 billion is what any film company looks forward to. Seeing that the Enigma Company has made a lot of money, these companies naturally refuse to lag behind. How to create a 3D movie has now been put on the schedule of many film companies. For them, making 3D movies makes money. It has become the most important part of future work.

However, not all of their ideas are desirable. Because I know how to make money by shooting 3D movies, at this moment, quite a few film companies are thinking about how to make money by using their brains and converting the movies they have already produced into 3D movies during post-production. Compared with shooting pure 3D movies, it saves a lot of money and trouble. Naturally, some people will think of doing this.

For such people, Levi was quite helpless. My own movie has become a hit with 3D playback. Naturally, these people have the opportunity to make money.

However, after all, not all people have such weird thoughts. At this time, there are also some people who are thinking about how to continue to promote 3D movies. For example, in an interview, James Cameron said that the visual effects of the 3D movie Avatar he is filming are more gorgeous and outstanding than The Three-Body Problem 2. Therefore, he also believes in the quality of his movie. At the box office, it will be even better than Levi's movie.

He has a reason for saying this: his preparation time for 3D movies is longer than Levi's, and he also has greater confidence that his movie technology can surpass Three Body. Now that The Three-Body Problem is in theaters, people are more optimistic about his 3D movies and are more willing to invest in his movies, which also makes him confident.

It's just that the media is somewhat disapproving of his confidence. The Three-Body Problem has a very good box office. After all, it is thanks to new technology. Because of the huge gimmick of technological innovation, it can attract countless audiences to watch. This is an indisputable fact. The benefits of eating crabs like this are available to the first person but not to the second person. Cameron said that his movie can surpass The Three-Body Problem, but naturally, not many people believe it.

They refused to believe this, but Levi had a lot of confidence in it: after all, in his memory, such a thing is not without precedent in his memory, after the release of Avatar immediately set off a 3D craze around the world, and taking advantage of this craze, the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which was later transformed into a 3D version, managed to win huge box office figures - the gimmick of 3D movies, once produced, it belongs to the entire Hollywood.

And now, it is Levi who has taken the first step, so will Cameron make more money with his second step? This is also something difficult to say. After all, taking advantage of this craze, his movie will definitely attract worldwide attention as soon as it is released. Compared to the first movie to make technological innovations, he will definitely not have to worry about the poor box office in the first week. In addition, his movies themselves have extremely excellent shooting standards, so it is not impossible to get high box office.

After all, the box office performance of a movie ultimately depends on its production level. With Cameron's production standards, Levi has absolute reason to believe that his movie can make money.

After all, leading by yourself is the right trend, and truly capable people will not fail under this trend.
