The crew passed through major cities in Europe all the way, and it also caused a lot of waves. Starting from this Thursday and Friday, it will be released in important Hollywood markets such as Europe, Latin America and the Far East. Although the type of film is not typical Popcorn in summer, but word of mouth and box office in North America can also play a lot.

After four working days of screenings, it earned more than 3,000 US dollars in North America, and the cumulative box office in North America was close to 100 million US dollars.

Stimulated by a series of good news, coupled with the full-scale publicity of the crew, especially when Murphy was promoting in Madrid, he also led the crew to visit the Real Madrid Club. This time, the friendship between Hollywood and the world's top football giants also attracted quite s concern.

Murphy also received a jersey with his name on it from Real Madrid.

In short, it easily became the most watched film in the entire European region this week. After three days of the weekend, it was replaced without any suspense and became the latest overseas box office champion.

This film was the first to start painting in Australia, and easily earned 6.2 million US dollars in four days from Thursday to Sunday.

At the same time, Argentina and Brazil also started painting on Thursday, earning more than 2.3 million US dollars and nearly 4 million US dollars respectively.

Starting from Friday, they landed in Europe on a large scale, and won 8.6 million US dollars from the UK, 5.4 million US dollars from France, nearly 9 million US dollars from Germany, 4.8 million US dollars from Spain, 3.5 million US dollars from Italy, and 5 million US dollars from Russia...

The Far East region also has a good record. South Korea has more than 300 million US dollars, and Japan has nearly 4 million US dollars.

Among the more than 60 countries and regions that were released at the same time this weekend, it ranked at the top of the weekly box office list in more than 40 countries.

In the first week of its overseas release, it easily surpassed the North American box office, earning US$102.5 million.

This is a relatively rare situation among Murphy's films. In the past, the response of his films in overseas markets was obviously not as good as that in North America. This is also the general trend. After all, the total volume of overseas markets is much larger than North America alone.

Compared with the film that was launched in the global market last week, it naturally entered a recession period. This weekend, it earned more than 4000 million dollars from overseas, and retreated to the second place in the overseas box office list.

At the same time, it has also received high praise in Europe.

The famous Spanish director Pedro Almodovar expressed some views on the status of Hollywood movies in an exclusive interview. Almodovar said: "It is becoming more and more difficult for me to go to the cinema to find my favorite movies. It's much more difficult than before."

"Probably because I'm old." He said, "Nowadays Hollywood movies are much worse than before. For example, and a lot of childish superhero movies are terrible."

He said that the current superhero movies are boring. He used to like adventure movies very much. At that time, the special effects were far from perfect. Now movies pay more attention to special effects. Those computer-generated characters made him reluctant to continue Watch this kind of movie.

At the same time, Pedro Almodovar expressed his appreciation and believed that Murphy's film is a rare masterpiece of Hollywood commercial films.

This kind of statement is suspected of overgeneralizing, and even Murphy himself knows that in this era of entertainment to death, the most important thing about commercial films is entertainment.

The darkness and heaviness of the movie also contain enough entertainment factors, there is no doubt about it.

However, in some overseas markets, the box office performance of the film is not ideal.

For example, in the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean that 20th Century Fox is vigorously developing, the market response of this film was mediocre. It only earned more than 300,000 US dollars in four days of release, which was seriously lower than 20th Century Fox Fox's expectations.

Although this film successfully obtained the release license on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it inevitably suffered a lot of scissors. The original dark and depressing theme was not very suitable for the mainstream audience in the market there. It will inevitably look messy, and the box office results are unlikely to be so good.

A film will always be affected by the social and environmental situation in the area where it is released.

Fortunately, Murphy himself did not have much expectation for the release on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and he was not too surprised by such box office figures, but 20th Century Fox had placed a lot of expectations. disappointment.

Kara Firth also called specifically to communicate with Murphy about this issue. Murphy has no good solution for the time being. After all, the market there has just developed, and simple, popular and pure popcorn movies have a wider audience, similar to dark Depressed films also have some fans, but the number is much smaller.

In a few years, the situation will be much better.

In addition to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the response in a few countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia has also been mediocre. The overseas film market in these regions is still the world.

However, in the North American market, which has the largest market volume, it did not encounter strong challenges in the second weekend of its release, and continued to sit firmly on the top of the North American box office chart.

Compared with the weekend, the trend of the following weekend was stable, with a drop of only 43%, and another US$3.56 million was collected. The North American box office successfully broke through the US$100 million mark, with a total of US$103.12 million.

It didn't keep its second place in the box office list, and it plummeted 61% the next weekend, earning US$18.75 million. The North American box office can only continue to work towards US$100 million.

And the one that will squeeze into the third place is the new release this weekend. This typical "Apatou Party" movie is very attractive to comedy audiences who like shit and fart. Compared with the production cost of 35 million US dollars, the performance is quite impressive.

However, this kind of feces and fart comedy still cannot threaten to achieve two consecutive championships at the North American box office.

As a result, the combined global box office of the film has also exceeded the US$250 million mark.

For a film without the foreshadowing and audience base of the previous work, it is already very rare to have a global box office of more than 250 million US dollars in ten days.

Both the media and Twentieth Century Fox considered it a success.

Murphy and the crew finished their promotional tour in Europe, and made a tour of Japan, South Korea and Australia. In the following third weekend, they achieved three consecutive championships in the North American box office rankings, and the cumulative North American box office reached 107.72 million. U.S. dollars, breaking through 200 million U.S. dollars is almost inevitable.

Overseas, the film's screening locations have increased from more than 60 to more than 90 countries and regions, and it has received an additional US$76 million.

The film also quietly approached $400 million worldwide.

Declining David Robbie and Margot Robbie's invitation to visit the Australian farm, Murphy parted ways with the crew in Sydney, took a flight to Tel Aviv alone, met Gal Gadot, and followed Her mother met and talked.

Perhaps knowing that the situation cannot be changed, coupled with Murphy's status today, the atmosphere of this meeting was quite pleasant, and Murphy and Gal Gadot also received the blessings of her family.

Since there are still many work matters waiting for Murphy in North America, after only two days in Tel Aviv, he and Gal Gadot returned to Los Angeles by plane.

After returning to Los Angeles, Murphy immediately came to the post studio rented by Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill to participate in dubbing some scenes.

The filming of this film was completed at the end of April, and Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill immediately invested in post-production. Both Murphy and Kara Firth hope that this film can be released within this year, so that Seth Judging from Schrogen's work efficiency, the problem is not too big.

When filming, most of the scenes were recorded on-site. A small number of scenes that did not meet the requirements of the recording required actors to dub again. Originally, Murphy's shots were not too many, and the scenes that required his dubbing were completed within two days. All done.

"The perfect time frame for this film is between Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December."

In the post-production studio, Kara Firth rushed over and said to Seth Rogen, "In early October, you will complete all post-production, and then 20th Century Fox will conduct trial screenings and theater promotions to win More projection screens."

Seth Rogen is very confident, "No problem, it will definitely be completed on time."

Murphy nodded to Kara Firth, "I watched some of the edited clips, and they're pretty good."

Although this kind of spoof comedy cannot become a mainstream commercial film in the North American market, just like the same, there has never been a lack of audience in North America. As long as the quality is guaranteed and the publicity can be in place, it is similar to horror films, and it is very likely that it will be big with a small one.

And for today's movie market, this kind of spoof movie that brings real identity into the movie and combines it with thriller and horror is relatively new.

Murphy chatted with Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill for a while, and left the studio with Kara Firth.

Some of them are sold first, and with enough understanding, Murphy is quite at ease with Seth Rogen. If there is no accident, with 20th Century Fox's publicity ability, the film may still lose money. small.

The two walked into the parking lot, Kara Fiss opened the door, turned to look at Murphy before getting in the car, and reminded, "Don't forget the party tomorrow."

Murphy made an ok gesture, "Gail and I will arrive on time."

Tomorrow night, 20th Century Fox's new co-chairman and chief executive, James Murdoch, will host a lavish reception in 20th Century Fox's honor. 8
