The box office performance of "The Purge" has become increasingly popular with the full promotion of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, and it continues to accumulate box office revenue at a speed that shocked Hollywood.
After the first day's box office reached 23.7 million US dollars, the box office on Saturday also reaped 20 million US dollars, once again becoming the number one box office list in North America that day.
Sunday, June 15th, is also Father's Day in the United States.
On this day, Disney's new film "Hercules" was released, which shared the screening schedule of "The Purge", causing the box office to decline, but it still exceeded 15 million US dollars, surpassing the box office performance of "Hercules" on its opening day of 14.8 million US dollars.
Continue to rank first.
When Kyle saw the news, he couldn't help but laugh.
"If I remember correctly, in the original time and space, the box office for Hercules reached $24.9 million on its opening day. Haha, now because of the popularity of The Purge, its box office is a full $8.1 million less than in the original time and space."
"If Disney knew, they would probably cry!"
At this moment, Kyle was so proud.
A villain succeeds?
So what?!
Seeing that other people's paths become more difficult because of your presence, isn't that also a kind of achievement?
When you are happy in life, you should enjoy it to the fullest, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty!
Sometimes it's better to live a simple life, laugh when you are happy and cry when you are sad. It's not bad to live like this.
Time enters Monday.
Because it was a weekday, a sharp decline in North American movie box office was inevitable, especially for horror/thriller films, which saw a cliff-like drop in box office revenue, which was a common occurrence.
The box office of "The Purge" on Monday indeed dropped significantly!
40%!
This is the box office decline index for Monday!
On Monday, "The Purge" only earned $9.05 million and gave up the top spot at the North American box office on Monday.
The top box office movie of the day was Disney's "Hercules", which took in $13 million.
"Boss, the precipitous drop in our movie box office is within our expectations. For now, it is enough for us to do our promotional work well." Victor said to Kyle.
Kyle nodded.
At this moment, what else can Kyle say?
"The Purge" has already made a huge profit based on the box office revenue in the past few days. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
How much box office revenue do you expect for a horror/thriller film?
There is a box office ceiling!
Tuesday: $8.15 million;
Wednesday: $5.4 million;
Thursday: $3.89 million;
"The Purge" has been released for 7 days, and with the box office of 5.01 million US dollars for the midnight show, the total box office has reached 90.2 million US dollars!
This achievement is enough to surpass 90% of the films released in 1997.
....
Page Films.
Kevin Feige said with a heavy face: "Mr. Jones, the storm is coming!"
Victor Jones nodded heavily.
"Yes, the movie released today is Warner's "Batman and Robin"!" Victor said slowly.
Before the rise of Marvel's superheroes, Warner 'Superman series and Batman series were undeniable box office hits in Hollywood. There was hardly any film that could boldly and confidently say: I will be able to surpass it!
In the days when superheroes were not yet popular, "Superman" and "Batman" were famous and well-known all over the world.
Batman & Robin is the fourth film in the Batman series produced by Warner Bros.
Directed by the great director Joel Schumacher, starring George Clooney as Batman and Arnold the Governor as the villain, the blockbuster cost only $125 million to produce.
The menacing "Batman" is enough to make all the films released at the same time tremble with fear!
"Victor and Kevin, you have nothing to worry about. You all say Batman is so great, but I think Warner Bros. is going to stumble this time."
Kyle, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said.
"Well..."
Victor and Kevin Feige were both stunned.
"Boss, are you not optimistic about 'Batman & Robin' directed by Joel Schumacher?" Kevin Feige asked.
"That's right!"
Kyle bluntly said, "Joel Schumacher may be known as a great director, but he's not suited to directing superhero films. Look at his last film, 'Batman Forever,' which grossed $520 million worldwide. It was a huge success."
"But the reputation is incredibly bad!"
"He even threw out all the ideas set by Tim Burton, the director of the first two Batman films. He turned the entire super franchise into a masquerade. Didn't you see Robin's costume in the new film?"
"Does it look like those funny clowns in the amusement park?!"
Kyle said disdainfully: "There is no doubt that Joel Schumacher ruined Batman. Warner Bros. was screwed by him!"
Victor: "…"
Kevin Feige: "…"
At first, the two were a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that what Kyle said made sense.
The boss is awesome!
....
On Friday, "Batman & Robin" shocked Hollywood by grossing $42.87 million on its first day of release.
However, the film has been criticised both in the media and on Internet forums!
The reputation is terrible!
Netizens love Bruce Wayne the most: "It's terrible! Joel Schumacher ruined my favourite Batman. Look at this, guys. George Clooney's Batman is so stupid. I will never love Batman again."
Catwoman No. 2: "Go to hell, Warner Bros.! I advise you to never film Batman again!"
I am Robin: "Can I tell you, is it too late for me to change my online name now?!"
Arnold's fan account: "Governor, you should go and film The Terminator. The villain in the Batman series doesn't suit you."
I am the Director: "Batman & Robin will flop at the box office. I'm writing this post to prove it."
...
Netizens on online forums were almost criticising "Batman" to death. Many people said they regretted buying tickets to the cinema and regretted watching this bad movie.
I have to say that netizens' judgments are sometimes more accurate than those of experts.
Just look at this: on Saturday and Sunday, the box office of the "Batman" movie dropped sharply.
In the first three days of the weekend, the cumulative box office was 72 million US dollars.
It seems quite high, but the box office revenue on Friday was over 42 million U.S. dollars; that is to say, on Saturday and Sunday, which should have been a big hit, the box office revenue was only 30 million U.S. dollars.
The box office can no longer be saved.
This is indeed the case. The film, which cost 125 million to produce, finally grossed just over 100 million in North America and just over 200 million in the world in its original time and space.
As a production company, Warner Group has suffered heavy losses!
Warner Bros. is out of business, but Kyle's Page Pictures is laughing.
The Purge grossed another $11 million over the next three days, bringing its total to over $100 million in its ten-day run. Even if the film's box office performance falters, this result would still rank it among the top 15 North American box office hits of 1997!
According to the box office trend, the final box office of "The Purge" is expected to be between 115 million and 120 million US dollars!
Compared with the film's production cost of 12 million and publicity and promotion cost of 9 million, Kyle made a lot of money this time.
