In the face of the overwhelming momentum of "Batman: The Dark Knight", all other films in the same period of this summer season have been reduced to a complete foil that is not worth mentioning.

After the record-breaking first day, countless people inside and outside Hollywood are staring at the mega-blockbuster's daily box-office numbers.

$23.76 million on the first day.

$24.33 million Saturday.

$20.39 million on Sunday.

In just the first three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" quickly rushed to a high of $68.38 million.

Coming to the working day, the film's box-office momentum continued unabated.

Finally, when the first week from June 7th to June 13th ended, "Batman: The Dark Knight" created a new weekly box office record without any suspense, and achieved an unprecedented first-week break of 100 million.

$102.07 million.

This is the first seven days of the box office for "Batman: The Dark Knight".

In seven days, "Batman: The Dark Knight" jumped to the No. 2 spot in the 1991 North American box office rankings, second only to the $118 million for the Valentine's Day film "Fighting Wisdom", which was already on the verge of falling.

Facing the astonishing box office of this super blockbuster breaking 100 million in the first week, most Hollywood filmmakers have a strong sense of powerlessness.

Once upon a time, as long as a movie could achieve a total box office of 100 million in North America, it was enough for everyone to celebrate. However, it seems that in the blink of an eye, the movie box office breaking 100 million has become as simple as that.

Most people actually understand that this is just an illusion.

In 1991, the schedule is nearly halfway through, and the North American theater chain has only produced two North American box-office films, "Reverse Wisdom" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" for the time being.

However, the box office momentum of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has really made too many people feel out of reach.

It's not that no one imagined that the Batman franchise or the DC Cinematic Universe would fail after the stunning opening Batman: Hour of War. The entire project invested $160 million, which was unimaginable in previous years.

Even with the popularity of the first film, the sequel has no problem recovering huge costs through omni-channel operations. However, if the film runs too long, the project is doomed to fail.

Now, all those who hold certain expectations are only disappointed.

With $102 million in its first week, it's almost impossible for Batman: The Dark Knight to drop below $300 million at the domestic box office.

$300 million is exactly the cost line for this super blockbuster to recover its full budget through the local box office.

According to the box office data of the first week, not many people will doubt that this project will not only recover the full budget through the North American theater screening, but also be enough to realize some profits.

At the same time, various types of toys, posters, records, and video games related to "Batman: The Dark Knight" are also on sale at the same time.

This sequel, from the beginning of the car chase to the last hanging dirty bombs away from the city, can be said to have destroyed all Batman's Batmobiles, Batmobiles and Batfighters, which made many fans feel distressed.

However, other character props dedicated to derivative development also appeared in the film.

Even Cindy Crawford, who made a cameo appearance, launched the same character figure in the film. Because the popularity of the supermodel in the film was not predicted in advance, it came from various retail channels two days after the film started. Out of stock news.

After rough statistics, just one week after the start of the painting, the sales of various types of peripheral products of "Batman: The Dark Knight" totaled 170 million US dollars.

Compared with the $130 million of "Batman: Hour of War" in the same period, sales have increased by more than 30%.

In addition, the 21 overseas countries and regions that are simultaneously released, because they cover major overseas ticket warehouses such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, and Australia, after some statistics, the box office in the first week also reached 130 million US dollars.

As a result, in just its first week of filming, the global box office figure of "Batman: The Dark Knight" reached 230 million US dollars.

In the early 1990s, the World Trade Organization had not yet been established, and the film markets of various overseas countries were relatively closed.

However, on average, a blockbuster such as "Batman: The Dark Knight", which overseas theaters are competing to introduce, can roughly maintain a box office share of about 35% through overseas markets.

According to the step-by-step distribution rules signed by the US distributor and the theater chain, the approximate profit ratio of peripheral derivatives sales, and the average share ratio of overseas box office, after comprehensive calculation, "Batman: The Dark Knight" is only released for one week, and it is expected to be able to be released from various The funds recovered by the channel have reached 140 million US dollars.

It recovered $140 million in seven days. Although the box office fell significantly after the film entered its second week, the project was destined to quickly turn to profitability.

The spectators who joined in the fun just kept their eyes on the box office data of "Batman: The Dark Knight". Professionals who are familiar with the details of the operation of Hollywood movie projects can clearly see that this movie with a huge investment of 160 million US dollars has just over a week. It has already shown the momentum of making big profits.

Hollywood has never been short of followers.

Faced with the success of the DC Cinematic Universe, other studios subconsciously began to look for similar projects.

Then, everyone found out again that the two giants of North American comics, whether it is dc or

Marvel is no longer a target they can touch.

Marvel Comics is completely in the hands of Simon Westeros as a gold mine. Not only does he not intend to 'mining', but he also has no intention of letting other studios do it for him.

Lost the three giants of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, and dc comics, which almost sold itself in the 1980s, showed a state of strict guarding against the copyright of its own superheroes, and tried to contact Time Warner about the copyright system. The filmmakers, without exception, all ended up hitting a wall.

Because of the long-term downturn in the comics industry, apart from Marvel and DC, there are really no other large-scale comics companies in the United States in this era. Many years later, the Dark Horse Comics and Image Comics, which followed Marvel and DC, are either still in the early stages of development or have not yet been established.

Although many people also understand that the key to the success of the dc movie universe is not 'dc', but 'universe'.

Moreover, Daenerys Entertainment is far ahead of the film production technology and concept of this era, and it is also the key to the success of the DC Cinematic Universe.

However, various Hollywood studios, after contacting Marvel and DC for copyright, have begun to look for some small comic companies, intending to personally support some original comic content.

When the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was released in the first week, the third film "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" in the series was officially approved and the preliminary preparations began.

In fact, Simon had already planned and completed the plot of the trilogy from the very beginning of the project.

Now, Jane de Bont has proved that he is enough to support the production of this series. The hero and heroine of the film and other main creators have also signed long-term contracts. There is no need to pay for the film because of the box office sales. Wrangling. Therefore, the start of the third film has basically started with the actual process of casting supporting roles and film scenes.

In just two "Batman" films, a large number of actors who were originally unknown or tepid have become popular. With the opening of the third film, any role in the plan has become a major Hollywood brokerage company. striving for the goal.

Of course, the plan can never keep up with the changes. It is necessary to make certain changes to the third part in accordance with the accumulation of the first two parts, but the main line will not change.

Compared with the easter eggs of the second part, "Batman: The Dark Knight" will officially become a crossover.

A crossover set of Batman and Wonder Woman.

The villain of the film adopts a pattern similar to the one main boss plus one or two other small bosses in the first two films.

In addition to the Joker, the third installment will feature the series' first super female villain, Poison Ivy.

Of course, Simon will not make a poison ivy girl like Uma Thurman in Tim Burton's production version who looks cheap when she wears a suit like a coser, but intends to be the same as Catwoman's character setting, the same reference The Poison Ivy setting in the game version of "Batman: Arkham Knight" in memory: a red shirt with only one button, bare feet, long legs, and green skin that is really covered with tiny vines.

With a strange but irresistible wonderful sexy.

The Poison Ivy in "Batman: Arkham Knight" almost saved Gotham City's existence in the end, purifying the nerve agent released by the Scarecrow through activating plants.

In Nolan's version of "Batman: The Dark Knight", the focus is on the clown's grasp of people's hearts, but in the comics setting, the clown is actually a poison expert that surpasses the scarecrow.

According to Simon's first attack on gangsters in the first part of the trilogy, the second part saves the city, and the third part saves the world from small to large, the planned "Batman: The Dark Knight", the Joker will be a Trying to destroy the existence of the world.

Batman will join forces with Wonder Woman and Catwoman who came to Gotham to find the mother box, and together with Poison Ivy, who finally woke up, to fight against the Joker's conspiracy.

Compared with the unplanned rush of the DC movie universe in memory, this time, the three mother boxes will become the keys to connect the entire DC movie universe in advance.

At the same time, in the third part of the plan, because of the participation of Poison Ivy, a real superpower who can control plants, and the final transformation of the clown affected by the mother box, the special effects will be applied to a higher level.

Batman's own equipment will also be upgraded again, and the powerful Bat armor will appear.

The CG technology of Daenerys' special effects is much beyond the original time and space. However, in order to realize the planned special effects as perfectly as possible, Simon plans to reserve three years for the third part.

Three years of continuous research and development have brought Daenerys' CG technology to a new level.

Of course, this also means that "Batman: The Dark Knight" will be released in the summer of 1994.

In the meantime, though, Daenerys and Warner Bros. will be teaming up for The Flash, Wonder Woman, and a reboot of Superman.

Therefore, although it will take three years to wait, the progress of the DC Cinematic Universe will not stand still.

With the commercial potential shown by the "Batman" series, slowing down the speed and crafting each part of the series more carefully is better than rushing to launch more films to continuously squeeze the market potential and even cause the audience's aesthetic fatigue. many.

After the first week, the second week of screenings from June 14th to June 20th also came to a close.

This week's new film has been reduced to one, Disney's youth comedy "Holiday Girl Love", which tells the stories of a group of girls who hide their parents' restraints after the accidental death of their elderly nanny during the holidays.

Compared with the total number of screens opened last week, the total number of screens was less than 1300 yuan.

Universal Pictures "Jungle Fever" and Fox's comedy "The Ugly" has two new films, and "Holiday Girl Love" has 1,806 screens. Compared with Disney's previous conservative distribution strategy, the number of screens has also increased significantly this time. .

The whole of Hollywood is probably more and more able to appreciate the benefits of full distribution and even saturated distribution.

However, like the two new films last week, even if the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" has dropped significantly in the next week, under the general trend, "Holiday Girl" is still only a foil.

In the end, the second week of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was released, the box office fell by 41%, and it made another $60.18 million.

Within two weeks of its release, the film grossed $162.25 million at the box office.

Although it is not as good as "Batman: Time for War", the box office has reversed the trend of the next week, but this is also expected by everyone.

It broke 100 million in the first week. If there is not a big drop in the next week, then this series will be completely against the sky.

In fact, compared to the second-week decline of more than 50% for commercial blockbusters that are saturated and fully released in memory, the second-week decline of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is controlled at 41%, which is still very rare.

The total box office figure of US$162.25 million in two weeks is basically the same as the box office data of the first film, which achieved a reverse decline in the following week.

As long as the next box office decline is narrowed again, it is not impossible for this sequel to hit the $400 million box office mark in North America again.

For two weeks in a row, Time Warner's stock price has been steadily rising on the back of the commercial success of "Batman: The Dark Knight."

In order to build momentum for the upcoming stock issuance, the second week of the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is over, and Time Warner can't wait to announce that it will hold a grand celebration party on June 22.

The time is actually the Saturday of the third week of the release of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

These days, Daenerys Entertainment's film business and the integration of Daenerys and mca keep Simon busy almost every day from morning to night.

However, as the founder of the DC movie universe, the super brand of the series, "Batman: The Dark Knight" is going to hold a celebration party, and Simon can't be absent, otherwise there will definitely be an uneven distribution of interests between Daenerys and Time Warner DC There are rumors that the movie universe plans to move forward with fear of change.

In fact, similar arguments have never disappeared.

After all, the interests involved in the DC movie universe are simply too huge. A "Batman: Time for War", the expected net profit scale of more than 1 billion US dollars, has been equivalent to a year's net profit income of a top 500 corporate giant in the world.

Judging from various public data, the profit scale of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is not much lower than that of the first game.

Even if Time Warner can take half of the profits this time, in the eyes of many people, the IP of "Batman" is originally Warner's, and Time Warner has always suffered a big loss in this business with Daenerys. .

In fact, to say that Daenerys and Time Warner don't have a rift in the DC Cinematic Universe would be an open-eyed nonsense.

Simon, though, managed to keep the rift from getting worse with just the right distribution of benefits, including working with Warners on projects outside the DC Cinematic Universe.

Interests are of course moving.

However, if the price of turning one's face is likely to be a chicken-and-egg attack, they will still have a very good harvest if they don't turn their face. Some sensible people will probably choose to be more silent than to move.

As the absolute controller of Daenerys Entertainment, Simon could directly choose a confrontation method that would hurt both sides because of the fact that Alistar Records concealed the sales of the "Bodyguard" soundtrack.

As a listed company, Time Warner, coupled with the fact that Steve Ross was under heavy pressure from external shareholders and other high-level internal factions at this time, it was impossible for him to make an overly drastic face-breaking move.

Because Simon has already proved in the original "Bodyguard" soundtrack incident, if the partner does not follow the rules, Daenerys Entertainment will only be tougher.
