The release of "Transformers" in the European Union was extremely popular. It achieved 100% attendance on the first day, completed 100% attendance of 5,200 screens, and directly earned 50 million euros, equivalent to US$6,000.
Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
The rating on imbd is very high, directly giving it 9.5 points. In the movie review, countless EU fans praised this movie for not disappointing them. It is full of popcorn, high from beginning to end, and there are some funny moments from time to time.
It makes people laugh until their stomachs cramp. In terms of 3D and special effects, most fans praise it as more shocking than "The Lord of the Rings".
However, it is not without its shortcomings. The shortcoming is that the popcorn is too powerful, and as a result, it loses to "Lord of the Rings" in terms of plot, but this does not affect its excitement at all.
Perhaps influenced by these high-scoring movie reviews, the movie-watching craze in the following days continued the craziness of the first day, and continued to surge forward!
On the second day, the attendance rate was still 100%, and the daily revenue was US$60 million.
On the third day that followed, the theaters again allocated 1,000 more screens for "Transformers". Although the attendance rate dropped, the box office did not fall but rose, reaching a daily revenue of 62 million U.S. dollars.
As for the weekly box office and daily box office, there is no doubt that it continues to be the champion.
Although the popularity subsided in the following days and the box office began to slowly decline, it still dominated the majority of the box office share of the entire EU film market, making other films tremble under its iron heel.
Coincidentally, "Harry Potter" has also staged a movie-watching boom in North America. Because there are only more than 6,000 screens, its attendance has reached 100 for three consecutive days with extremely high expectations.
%, grossing $70 million at the box office.
The attendance of other movies was surprisingly low, the movie market was in mourning, and the production companies of those released movies had to regret their blind release.
There have been problems with the release of "The Lord of the Rings" in China and India. In India, the evaluation was okay, and the attendance rate was also very high. However, it hit a wall in China. Chinese fans seemed not as enthusiastic about the movie as "Transfiguration"
"King Kong" is high, but its evaluation is not as high as that of North America and the European Union, which is only 9.0. Moreover, its graphics are not as good as "Transformers".
But no matter what, with its good reputation and publicity, it has achieved high box office every day.
On November 10th, professional box office statistics organizations in North America began to calculate the box office statistics of the three blockbuster movies currently being released in 3D. This time the statistics were more comprehensive and detailed than those compiled by the Los Angeles Times ten days ago.
""Lord of the Rings" has been in theaters for 53 days, with a current global box office total of 1.48 billion US dollars, which has completely entered the second place in the total box office in film history. There are still more than a dozen countries and regions that have not been released, and the original expected total box office of 1.5 billion US dollars is a nail in the coffin.
It’s a matter of board.”
""Transformers" has been in theaters for 41 days and currently has a global US$1.1 billion. It has surpassed the US$1.02 billion of "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace", which was the second highest-grossing film in film history."
""Harry Potter" was released for a total of 25 days. With the huge North American market, it abruptly pulled the box office to 960 million US dollars, which is a little more than the original third place "Fast and Furious 2" and far behind "Star Wars"
"Prequel One: The Phantom Menace" is not far away, and transcendence is certain."
"The top five positions of "Fast and Furious 2", "The Lion King" and "Resident Evil 1" will no longer be guaranteed and will fall below sixth place. And "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" will be
Squeezing into fifth position.”
After this box office statistics report came out, many filmmakers, without exception, thought of the same place - "3D".
It is 3D that gives these three movies such terrifying ability to generate money.
3D technology has suddenly become the focus of the film industry.
All film companies have put aside concerns about high costs and added 3D film plans. However, when they approached three special effects companies with mature 3D film technology, Weta Data, Digital Domain, and Tianwang Special Effects, they were told that the 3D technical team had already
With so many jobs accepted, there will be no time to produce 3D for unplanned movies in the next year.
Because Paramount, Universal and other six major Hollywood film companies have sensed the benefits of 3D technology early on, they signed a 3D film production contract with Weta Data and Digital Domain early. The contract dates from "The Lord of the Rings" and "Haha"
The production of "Lippert" started from the time it was completed until the end of 2010, which lasted for more than a year.
These new 3D movie plans include "Lord of the Rings 2" and "Harry Potter 2", as well as "Alice in Wonderland" and "Shrek 4".
The third 3D special effects company, Tianwang Special Effects, was also taking over the task of "Transformers 2" at this time. At the same time, it announced that the task was full and no longer involved in external films.
At present, the most advanced 3D technology is Weta Data, the digital field, and the king of special effects. So knowing that these three companies have already fulfilled their tasks, those companies can only sigh in despair.
Just when they were disappointed, on November 15th, a well-known film equipment company in New York, North America, announced that it had developed mature film 3D technology that can be used for 3D production.
As soon as the news came out, many film companies were excited and immediately sent people to New York to discuss film cooperation matters.
The success of this company was like opening Pandora's box. In the following month, several companies in the United States, Japan, the European Union and other regions announced the successful development of mature 3D movie technology. After passing technical verification, these companies
Companies that possess 3D film technology have quickly become the favorites of global film companies. Countless thresholds have been crossed, and they are scrambling to seek 3D technology support.
China followed closely behind, and the three film and television alliances that obtained the 3D technology license from Yang Shou also quickly developed 3D technology and launched 3D movie projects one after another.
Global 3D movies seem to be free of money. From 2009 to 2010, more than 50 3D movie plans suddenly appeared. Those movie companies were stimulated by the crazy box office of the three "Transformers" movies, and they all wanted to
We need to divide the big cake of 3D movie market.
Stimulated by the super high box office, what they don't know is that the success of the three movies "Transformers", "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" is due to "the first 3D technology" and "so many fans"
The combination of these two factors produced a chemical reaction, which is why it achieved such a high box office.
After these three movies are released in rotation, the freshness and shock brought by 3D will definitely decline, and the audience's appetite will be whetted. By then, even less good movies will become the object of rejection by movie fans. And even if
No matter how good the filming is, it will be difficult to achieve as high a box office as these three movies.
This is the charm of eating soup at the head. Those who follow behind are doomed to only eat cold vegetables and soup.
It's a pity that these movie companies have been so excited by the super high box office of more than one billion US dollars that even if they know that they may encounter Waterloo, they can't help but be greedy and spend a lot of money to try.

Just when film companies around the world were making a fuss over 3D movies, Wang Shang flew to Los Angeles with five movie scripts.
Because the headquarters of Tianwang Special Effects is in Los Angeles, when Wang Shang came this time, a subordinate had already driven a Savana to pick him up. Secretary Li Shuiyue had arrived here two days in advance to prepare for Wang Shang's business trip.
"Is Tangny here?" Wang Shang asked after sitting in the car and falling asleep for a few minutes.
Li Shuiyue replied with a smile: "Mr. Downey was very excited when he received the call. He couldn't wait to come over at dawn."
"Haha, really?? He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
Although Robert Downey Jr. has performed wonderfully in movies such as "The End of the World" and "Transformers", and because of these movies, he has lost his previous image of a decadent drunkard and drug addict, and his star has soared, but in recent years
It wasn't all smooth sailing. The few Hollywood movies I took on had leading roles and supporting roles, but none of them were outstanding.
Stars in the entertainment industry will retreat if they don't advance, and keeping track of achievements means regressing. So Robert Downey Jr. can be said to be worried now. And just yesterday, he finally got a great opportunity, one that Wang Shang agreed to a few years ago.
Opportunity.
When he heard the news, he was so excited that he almost jumped to the ceiling. He hugged his wife several times and screamed with joy for several minutes.
When the Savana that picked up Wang Shang arrived at the gate of the Hollywood King Special Effects Company, Wang Shang saw Robert Downey Jr. walking over excitedly despite the cold wind. After seeing Wang Shang get out of the car, he shook hands warmly
.
"I know you are impatient, okay, this is for you." Wang Shang took the four scripts from Li Shuiyue and handed them to Robert Downey Jr., and said at the same time, "I have already contacted Disney Pictures, and we will do it tomorrow.
Go discuss the movie with the other person, and you will come with him then."
"Thank you." Robert Downey Jr. felt the sincerity and trust in Wang Shang's eyes. Thinking about his experiences in the past few years, his nose couldn't help but feel sour.
Robert Downey Jr. has come into contact with no film company bosses or producers at all in Hollywood in the past few years. Hollywood is more harsh than outsiders imagine. Wang Shang is the only one who is sincerely nice to him and gives him a lot of love.
Opportunity, and he was also Chinese. The huge contrast made him even more grateful to Wang Shang.
"Haha, you're welcome. I believe you have the ability, so you should get these things." Wang Shang put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile.
