1630 Sequel Battle

The fourth update today, please recommend and subscribe!

Sequel movies are a kind of hatred and love in Hollywood. The reason why sequel movies appear is actually simple, that is, the film company's pursuit of interests. When the first movie becomes brilliant, the sequel naturally appears on the company's conference table. Because the sequel movie has the reputation of the previous work and the loyal audience as the basis of the previous audience, it is relatively easy to create good results.

But similarly, sequel movies are also annoying, because under the halo of the name of "sequel", the screenwriter is prone to laziness. The story of the sequel cannot break out of the framework structure, and the possibility of overall quality decline is very high. Then this is not good news for the audience.

This is what it means. There are movies like "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Godfather" that are more outstanding, as well as movies like "The Matrix", "The First Blood", "Life and Death Speed", and series of movies that are increasingly disappointing, as well as series of movies like "007" and "Harry Potter" with uneven sequels.

All in all, the sequel is indeed a playful existence.

As the finale of this series of works, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has a reputation that surpasses the previous one, and there are signs of recovery. This is a really pleasant situation. The media's comprehensive score is 75 points, 82% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, and imd

The temporary ratings at 7:6 are all outstanding than "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and there is a vaguely enough to be comparable to "Pirates of the Caribbean", which also shows people's love for this movie.

The reason why people are so sensitive to sequels is mainly because the summer season in 2007 kicked off in the sequel melee. "Spider-Man 3" was the first to launch, kicking off this year's summer season. Then "Monster Shrek 3" came to attack and joined the competition. Now it's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and this melee is really dazzling.

In the sequel competition, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" actually gained the upper hand in reputation!

"Spider-Man 3" was criticized as "the worst series". The media's comprehensive score was only 60, and it was merciless. The story clues were complicated and chaotic, the character setting was vivid and profound, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists was slow... Although they failed in terms of reputation, after the film entered the North American film market, it broke a series of records with unprecedented strength, showing a shocking level in the box office.

The box office on the premiere day was 59 million, defeating "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the number one in film history; the box office on the premiere weekend was 155 million, defeating "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". The first in film history; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday single-day box office, defeating "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Monster Shrek 2", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the first in film history; the speed of breaking through $100 million, defeating "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the first in film history; the difference between the box office champion and the runner-up weekend, defeating the gap between "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Return of Superman" last year, the first in film history; the overseas box office premiere day, refreshing South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, China and other places...

It can be seen that although "Spider-Man 3" failed in reputation, its box office performance was particularly powerful, refreshing almost all the records of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" last summer.

The only record that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is probably the box office record of more than 3,000 cinemas. At that time, the record set by "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was $35,714, while the number of "Spider-Man 3" this time was $35,500, which was 214 behind, and failed to break this record.

Two weeks after the release of "Spider-Man 3", "Shrek 3" was released. Compared with the sweeping record and reputation of "Shrek 2" back then, the third sequel obviously also under tremendous pressure. "Shrek 3" repeats the mistake of "Shrek 3" losing in reputation. The media's comprehensive score was only 57 points. It's really terrible. All media generally believe that the light of the spoof that year has become boring. Whether it is the characters or the stories, they are all relying on their old capital, and the decline is really ugly.

The reason why the sequel movies make the film companies enjoy it is here. Like "Spider-Man 3", "Shrek 3" has been criticized for its reputation in a very good way, but its box office performance is still impressive. Although it did not break all the records like "Spider-Man 3", the overall results still broke its own records. In the rankings of premiere day, premiere week, and a single day, all ranked as champion in cartoon film history. Even in the film history rankings of all movies, they can still rank among the top three, just behind "Spider-Man 3" that just set a new record and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" that created countless miracles last year.

It can be seen that although the reputation of "Monster Shrek 3" has dropped a lot, its results still make "Monster Shrek 2" crowned the throne that year inferior. The box office success was enough to make DreamWorks Animation happy, and Paramount Pictures, which won the right to release DreamWorks Animation, was also overjoyed.

"Spider-Man 3" premiere weekend box office scored 155 million, and "Monster Shrek 3" premiere weekend box office scored 122 million. Both results are enough to make the summer season in 2007 have a gorgeous start. Now, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which unexpectedly has the upper hand in reputation, can be seen from the theater numbers released by Disney this time, and I hope this movie can achieve great results.

Everyone knows that Pixar's first work "The Rat King" after joining Studio 11 has been confirmed, and it will be officially released on June 22. Then the performance of "The Rat King" will inevitably affect Disney's fragile little heart. Therefore, Disney also hopes that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" can show the domineering spirit of the king under the call of Evan Bell, so that they can look at the next journey of "The Rat King" with more confidence.

Although "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was released at 8 pm on Thursday, since it can only be screened two times that night, strictly counting it, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was officially launched on the North American market on May 25!

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" debuted a big hit, with a score of 59.5 million. With a slight advantage of 500,000 to lead "Spider-Man 3", the box office record on the premiere day was once again under Captain Jack Sparrow. This was a result that shocked everyone.

It is not uncommon to regain records. What is strange is that it is such a weak advantage, and it is a competition between each other, which is very rare. At the beginning, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" defeated "Spider-Man 2" and won a series of records. Then "Spider-Man 3" avenged his previous work and snatched the record from "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"; but soon, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" succeeded again and assigned the record to his own name again. This situation makes people really happy.

Subsequently, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" will record one after another from "Spider-Man 3". On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the single-day box office history records exceeded 100 million US dollars, the premiere weekend box office, and the overseas premiere weekend box office... The only "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" did not defeat "Spider-Man 3" to set a new record, but defeated its predecessor "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". In the competition for single-player box office records of more than 3,000 theaters, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" won 35,800 US dollars, won "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Spider-Man 3", replacing its predecessor with an advantage of 86 US dollars, becoming the number one in film history.

In this case, the number of theaters released by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" far exceeds that of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Spider-Man 3", so the overall box office results are naturally extremely impressive. The weekend box office results of $156.2 million allowed "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" to rule the North American box office rankings with a sweeping value, breaking a series of records, and easily won the North American box office rankings in the fourth week of May!

At the same time, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was released simultaneously worldwide this time. The overseas box office outside North America broke the record of 230 million that "Spider-Man 3" just set three weeks ago, easily grabbed 250 million US dollars in box office, and also won the championship in the overseas box office rankings.

It is worth mentioning that due to the strong attack of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", only one newly released work this week was "rife with holes" and the main reason is that other film companies are unwilling to confront Captain Jack Sparrow head-on, otherwise they will only suffer. Now, after the box office results have come out, this has also been proven.

"Wukuai" eventually won only $3 million in box office, ranking fourth in the North American box office rankings. From this data, it can be seen that in the summer season, the box office tycoons basically focused everyone's attention. "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" teamed up with "Monster Shrek 3" and "Spider-Man 3" to occupy the top three in the box office, and also concentrated audiences in the entire movie market.

Under the oppression of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Shrek 3" released in the second week was unable to show the powerful momentum of the previous episode. The hero was short-lived and only won 53 million US dollars with a drop of 56%; while in the fourth week of "Spider-Man 3", the box office decline was once again 50%, and it was no longer as powerful as the previous one, and only won 14 million US dollars.

It can be predicted that the box office ranking competition at the end of 2007 is probably inevitable.

I’ll give you a monthly ticket for the fourth update!
