The next day, reviews of "Batman: The Moment of War" on major mainstream paper media platforms in North America were almost one-sided praises. A few critics who expressed different opinions did not set off any waves at all.Based on media feedback from all quarters and a 10-point rating, this superhero movie's total rating reached an astonishing 9.6 points.

At the same time, a lot of discussions on "Batman: Moments of War" have emerged on media platforms such as TV and radio.

Because the film's word of mouth has been strongly affirmed by the media, a large number of comic fans in North America have organized a variety of carnival events in order to welcome the release of "Batman: Moments of War". It seems that Christmas has come early.

On Friday, December 22, "Batman: The Beginning of the War" finally opened on a large scale with 2613 screens.

At the same time, the North American box office data for the past week is officially released.

A week from December 15 to December 21, just before "Batman: The Time to Fight", there were six new films released in North America, three of which opened more than 1,000 pieces, which are Sylvester. Stallone's action masterpiece "Furious Tiger", Sean Connery's crime comedy "Family Business" and Universal Pictures' family comedy "Little Magician".

Stallone's "Furious Tiger" costs $55 million, and the budget is higher than "Batman: Moment of War", which was originally a promotional point of the film.

However, after the opening of the most important film on December 15th, the word-of-mouth broke down directly after the opening of the film, and the average media score was only 3.3. The Los Angeles Times mercilessly evaluated this film as a "a game against actors, time, and money. All-round waste'.

"Furious Tiger" was originally incubated by the Cooper-Peters production company affiliated with Warner Bros. Pictures. Warner gave up this project in order to make Batman: Moment of War, and eventually landed on the Colombian subsidiary Samsung In the hands of the film industry.

Because of the one-sided bad review, the first week of the painting, the North American box office of "Angry Tiger" was only 12.2 million US dollars. Compared with the 1409 screens, the average box office of the first week was less than 100 million US dollars. I am completely sorry for the huge film. Budget and quality schedules.

The first week's box office was $12.2 million, followed by the "Batman: Moment of War" sniper. The total box office of "Angry Tiger" in North America is expected to be only about $50 million.Sony was originally full of expectations for this project. With the release of "Angry Tiger" at the box office in the first week, the Japanese electronics giant's first bomb in Hollywood ended in failure.

Although the box office was only 12.2 million US dollars in the first week, the market performance of "Angry Tiger Mad Dragon" was not the worst.

In the other two films with more than 1,000 screens in the same period, Sean Connery's "Family Business" opened 1201 screens, with a box office of $3.19 million in the first week.Universal Pictures' "Little Magician", with 1,155 screens, was only $2.97 million at the box office in the first week.

Because the new films are all dumb, the box office list for the week of December 15 to December 21 is still occupied by a lot of old films.

"Flying Over Childhood", produced jointly by Daenerys Entertainment and Warner Bros. Films, was released for the fifth week, and once again maintained the single-week box office championship position with a box office of $13.96 million, and the total box office in North America reached $11.521 million.

"Gucci Seal" this week's box office fell 23%, and received another 4.93 million US dollars, ranking fifth in the list.This fashion documentary aimed at brand promotion has a total box office of US$28.79 million in four weeks, which is relatively profitable relative to cost.

Daenerys Entertainment's "Scream 2", produced separately, was released in the eighth week, and received another 3.98 million US dollars, ranking eighth in the weekly box office list.At the same time, the cumulative box office of "Scream 2" reached US$10.215 million, which also successfully broke through the 100 million yuan mark.

Just like the previous Thanksgiving schedule, a lot of new films have avoided "Back to the Future 2", the week that started on December 22, "Batman: Moments of War" also appeared to be in a state of dominance, and two other new films released at the same time. The number of screens is less than 10, not even the foil.

At the same time, as Daenerys Entertainment and Warner Bros. Films arranged midnight on Thursday mornings across North America, on the day of the large-scale opening on Friday, the media enthusiasm for "Batman: The Moment of War" further exploded.

Inside a hillside mansion in the Bel Air neighborhood.

The time was already Saturday, December 23, and it was busy day after day. Warner Bros. CEO Terry Semel failed to last night until the first day of the box office after midnight. However, because of the excitement, he just rested. By five hours, Semel woke up at four in the morning.

Without wishing to wake up his wife, Terry Semel came to the study in a pajama, wearing his pajamas.

Turn on the light, and a page of report has appeared in the fax machine.

Pulling out the report, Terry Semel did not look at the breakdown of the various theater lines and went straight to the end.

15.37 million USD?!

In an instant, Terry Semel thought he was wrong.

The box office of "Angry Tiger Mad Dragon" was only 12.2 million US dollars in the first seven days of the week, and Terry Semel was also glad yesterday that he had not received the project.Just on the first day of the painting, how could Batman: Moment of War get $ 15.37 million more than a week of "Angry Tiger Mad Dragon"?

Ok.

This number seems to count towards midnight.

However, this does not make sense.

The box office for the midnight show came out yesterday, because only a small number of midnight shows were arranged in the core cities for media promotion purposes. The box office is actually only 1.2 million US dollars.

Now, the first day is 15.37 million US dollars.

What's going on?

Not to mention the first day, in this era, Hollywood's box office in the first week can exceed 15.37 million US dollars, not much.

Or, $1.53 million...

This is even more impossible.

Forcibly suppressing some excitement in my heart, Terry Semel picked up the phone and directly dialed the phone of Daenerys Entertainment CEO Amy Pascal. Although it was very early, it was answered very quickly over there, voice Li didn't feel tired at first.

Hearing that it was Terry Semel, Amy in Palisades's house said directly: "Terry, did you see the box office numbers on the first day?"

"$15.37 million," Terry Semel repeated the numbers on the report, still pressing the excitement, saying: "Amy, is this true?"

Amy on the other side of the phone couldn't help laughing, and said, "Terry, you issued this, but you shouldn't ask me about this, but I've already called Jim for inquiries. That's right. $15.37 million."

To confirm the news, Terry Semel's free hand shook his fist violently and said, "Amy, maybe, we should call a meeting immediately."

When Terry Semel and Amy Pascal talked, it was already more than seven in the morning on the east coast of the United States.

The people who got up early opened the newspapers, and basically they saw the box office numbers of the first day of "Batman: The Wartime", which was blackened, and the box office results of 15.37 million US dollars shocked countless eyes.

You know, the first complete weekly box office record of "Strike Fighter 3" in the summer season was $46.01 million, which was ruthlessly hyped by the media at the time.Now, the first-day box office of "Batman: Moment of War" has reached 15.37 million US dollars, so how much will the box office have in the first week?

While the whole Hollywood was immersed in excitement and enthusiasm, the fan community of "Batman: Moments of War" was even more joyful after the box office was released on the first day of the film.In addition, many viewers who were not interested in "Batman: Moment of War" were bombarded by the dense information around them, and then began to enter the cinema, which further pushed up the box office.

Phenomenon-level viewing trends have rapidly formed.

So, following the $15.37 million box office on the first day, Batman: The Moment of War received another $18.23 million on Saturday.On Sunday, December 24, because it was Christmas Eve where family members were reunited, the single-day box office of Batman: Moments of War showed a significant drop, but it was still as high as $11.96 million.

Because Monday is Christmas on December 15th, a national legal holiday, this is equivalent to this week's "weekend" box office calculated on four days.

Moreover, compared to the previous Christmas Eve, the box office of "Batman: Moment of War" rebounded again, reaching $14.53 million.

Four days into the painting, the total box office of "Batman: Moment of War" in North America quickly reached a total of $60.09 million in horror, but this is far beyond the highest single-week box office record created by the summer game "Raiders 3".

In the following three working days, the single-day box office of Batman: Moments of War remained between US$7 million and US$8 million.

In the end, the first week of "Batman: Moments of War" reached a shocking $82.39 million at the box office.

Looking back, along with the box office of US$82.39 million in the first week, "Batman: The Moment of War" left a series of box office records.

The highest opening day record: $15.37 million

The highest single-day box office record, 18.23 million US dollars.

The highest box office record for the first three days: 45.55 million US dollars.

The highest box office record for the first Thursday: $60.09 million.

The highest box office record for the first seven days of the week: $82.39 million.

In addition, in the first week of "Batman: Moments of War", the average box office of a single museum also reached $31,530, which is just a museum average of more than $30,000, which is not the highest in history.However, considering the large-scale opening scale of the 2613 screens of the film, such achievements also make it difficult for all previous films with the same opening scale to be overlooked.

Stimulated by the box office of "Batman: Moments of War", the total number of box offices in North America exceeded the $150 million mark in one week from December 22 to December 28, compared with the total of more than $80 million last week. The box office number has almost doubled.

However, because only "Batman: Moment of War" took a large part, a lot of old films originally due to the rebound at the box office at Christmas Week have appeared in the box office.

Last week's box office champion "Flying Over Childhood", this week's box office fell 22%, the box office figure slipped to 10.88 million US dollars, the cumulative box office was 126.9 million US dollars.Because of this drop in data, some box office statistics agencies have reduced the North American total box office forecast for "Flyover Childhood" from more than $170 million to $10 million, which is expected to be $160 million.

Sylvester Stallone's reputation as "Angry Tiger Madness" was already poor. Under the strong impact of "Batman: The Moment of War", there was no audience to buy tickets to enter the venue, so the drop was 36%. The weekly box office slipped to US$7.81 million. The cumulative box office in two weeks was only US$20.10 million, which was dismal. The total box office forecast in North America was also reduced to around US$35 million.

Although Stallone’s overseas box office movies have always been good, but considering the $55 million production budget of "Angry Tiger Mad Dragon" and the equally low $15 million advertising cost, it is difficult for Colombia to recover the total even if it operates through all later channels. The cost of 70 million US dollars.

The two big box office players encountered this under the pressure of "Batman: Moment of War", and the situation of other films on this week's list can be imagined.

At the same time, on December 29, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan starring in the new week starring in the new film "Rocket Expert" and Steven Spielberg's fantasy love movie "Forever", box office prospects Also under the impact of "Batman: Moment of War" cast a thick haze.

On the other side, while Batman: Moments of War fought for $82.39 million at the box office in the first week, the peripheral sales of this rapidly evolved phenomenal movie quickly became popular.

Thanks to the meticulous preparations in the early stage, all kinds of surrounding toys and soundtracks of "Batman: Moments of War" have been laid out before the film is released. On the day of the release on December 22, the corresponding surroundings will start selling simultaneously.

Because of the high popularity of "Batman: Moment of War", although the early preparations are sufficient, the most popular Batman and Catwoman and the very eye-catching Bat Motorcycle core toys have also been sold out. One after another called to request replenishment.

In addition, although a number of official official movie posters have been developed for sale, because the popularity of Catwoman characters is too high, theft of Catwoman posters has occurred in various places after the movie was released, and some people even attempted to steal some super large Advertising poster.

The Warner Bros. Propaganda Department had to be busy reissuing movie posters.

In the end, even the original music original soundtrack that wasn't optimistic about it unexpectedly sold 260,000 copies after it was released in the first week.

According to preliminary statistics, in the first week of "Batman: Moments of War", the sales volume of the film's peripheral records was higher than the record box office of $82.39 million, reaching an astonishing $130 million.
