The fourth update today, please recommend and subscribe!

During the lively awards season, "Black Swan" made a brilliant debut in the first week of December, and finally won 88 points in the media's comprehensive review and 86% freshness of Rotten Tomatoes. It can be said that it was unanimously sought after by mainstream media. Natalie Portman's outstanding performance won the hearts of most film critics, and the media that believed that Evan Bell was enough to be among the "masters" sang praises to this movie.

Even though the movie was previewed on IDC, the number of viewers commented on is not large, but the instant score of the work still reached a high score of 8:4, which is very good!

"Strength and enthusiasm coexist, glory and darkness shine together", "Imagination extends the wings of reality, and the quiet fear is full of the absurdity of dreams", "Under the seemingly gentle appearance, it is a core full of violent elements. This violence not only stays at the emotional level, but also flesh and body!", "After a seemingly calm prologue, it takes a sharp turn and falls into a crazy plot quickly, and what is brazenly is that even so, the movie still maintains a dignified rhythm like ballet steps", "A jar of mellow wine brewed by cunning and madness", "Contains the distortion of the 'Shut Island', and swallows up the overlap of the 'Inception space', this is the 'Black Swan'", "Just like most terrifying nightmares, the 'Black Swan' has almost taken you into the darkness before you were ready."

At the same time, Natalie Portman's performance in the movie also won unanimous praise, "There is no doubt that Natalie rotated light dance steps towards the Oscar podium in this dance psychological thriller work." Similarly, Evan Bell's director also received similar recognition. "After 'Inception', Evan swept the literary and artistic film market again, and his amazing directorial talent is enough to make all the rhetoric be overshadow."

If it were five years ago, such a highly dark, extremely independent and full of personality, it would be almost impossible to win a place in the awards season, but now the times are different. It is not surprising that "Black Swan" is a ballet with elegant art as the carrier. With a split personality, coupled with a nightmare soundtrack and a classical tragedy of Swan Lake, it is loved by film critics.

Although the "Black Swan" itself has nothing to do with the box office, let alone the small range of previews in 18 theaters, the entire North American box office list in the first week of December was too sluggish, which forced people to focus on the box office attention on the "Black Swan".

This week's North American box office champion is the three-dimensional computer animation "Magic Romance" released by Disney. This work with an investment of 260 million yuan was released last week. Although it won the championship this week, it narrowly beat Harry Potter and the Holy Grail of Death (Part 1) this week, and the accumulated box office in two weeks was only 96 million yuan, and it is a foregone conclusion to lose money. It seems that Disney's animation should revive it or rely on lighting entertainment.

The runner-up "Harry Potter and the Holy Grail of Death (Part 1)" is not much better. It has accumulated a box office of 245 million in three weeks of release, and its results are still very outstanding, but it is still a long way to cross the threshold of 300 million. The box office in the third week of release fell by 65% ​​on the weekend. It is really unhappy to win just 17 million.

In comparison, the "127 Hours" released by the National Day continued to expand in the fifth week of its release, and was released in 430 theaters, and also achieved a box office of 3,700 US dollars in a single museum, which was eye-catching.

Of course, the biggest highlight of this week is naturally from Evan Bell's "Black Swan" by Natalie Portman and Meryl Streep. This work was previewed in 18 theaters, and the single-camera box office of $87,000 was very close to "In the Cloud" released in the same period last year. However, the single-camera box office of "Black Swan" is still 2,000 more than "In the Cloud", which also makes the single-camera box office rankings of Evan Bell's personal works become "Brokeback Mountain", "Adapted Screenplay", "Juno", "Black Swan", and "In the Cloud".

To put it simply, the historical ranking of single-player box office box office has become a duo of Disney and Evan Bell. In the historical ranking of live-action movie single-player box office box office, almost all the top ten are being flooded by Evan Bell. In the first five works, plus "blood is coming" and "survival in the wilderness", the top ten Evan Bell occupy seven positions alone. Such dominance is indeed no one can compare with.

In this way, the "Black Swan" achieved a weekend box office of US$1.6 million in the first week of December, occupying the 13th place in the North American box office list this week, just behind the "127 Hours", and performed very well.

The following week, the release of "Narnia Legend: Dawn Steps" and "Deadly Companion Travel" became the biggest highlights on the box office rankings. The former is a novel adaptation of Disney's ambition to be built into the "Harry Potter" series. Although it has not been able to become a money-making machine, it cannot be underestimated; the latter is a work starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, and the director relies on the "Eavesdropping Storm" to become a world-famous Florian Henkel von Donasma.

But what is disappointing is that the box office of these two works is not as expected. The premiere weekend of "Naria Legend: Dawn Stepping on the Waves" invested 155 million yuan was only 24 million yuan, while the "Deadly Companion Travel" with a paper cost of up to 100 million US dollars also only received the premiere data of 16 million US dollars. Although they occupied the first and second place in the North American box office rankings in the second week of December, it is difficult to satisfy people.

Relatively speaking, the "Black Swan" further expanded the screenings in 100 theaters performed even better. The box office data of $50,000 per studio made this work get a box office of $5 million on the weekend of the second week of its release, and it soared to fifth place on the North American list. In front of it, it was "Harry Potter and the Mixed Race Prince (Part 1). Such an excellent box office record is really something people did not expect, and it can also be regarded as another show of the "Bell-style miracle".

The 11th release is now very experienced. After accurately grasping the pulse of the market, it was found that the box office potential of "Black Swan" far exceeded expectations, and the audience's pursuit of this work exceeded predictions. Therefore, the 11th release on the third week of the release, the "Black Swan" was released in a completely straightforward manner in 1,000 theaters across the United States. This also means that the "Black Swan" has left the preview stage and has been fully released.

The full release is a real test of the box office potential of the "Black Swan", and the box office figures also mark that the "Black Swan" has withstood the test. The box office of a single museum is 11,000 US dollars, and the weekend box office of the third week of the release is 11 million US dollars, and it still ranks fifth in the North American box office rankings. However, the fourth-placed work has been replaced by the "Fighter" released on a large scale in 2,500 theaters.

The excellent performance of the market has made the 11th release more confident. In the fourth week of December, the "Black Swan" was released in 1,500 theaters, and the single-stage restaurant still handed over 8,000 US dollars in data. The 1,200 million box office data over the weekend made the "Black Swan" rise one place on the box office rankings, reaching the fourth place.

Through the box office results of the single-stage studio released on a large scale, it can be seen that "Black Swan" has received unanimous praise among the audience. Moreover, because the details of the movie are worthy of savoring, they are willing to return to the cinema for the second time, and there are also many viewers watching the third time. After the release, the cumulative box office of "Black Swan" has reached 45 million US dollars.

The work "Black Swan" invested only $13 million, and now it has achieved such excellent box office data in four weeks of release. This has continued Evan Bell's unbeaten record again, and the tradition of director Evan Bell's fine works has become increasingly solid.

The so-called box office appeal is the trust accumulated in such works. The audience is willing to believe in Evan Bell's vision of choosing works, and Evan Bell did not disappoint the audience every time, so this makes independent dark films like "Black Swan" still shine in the box office.

After that, the expansion of "Black Swan" has never stopped. It reached its peak in the third week of January, with a total of 2,500 theaters released in total and stayed at this peak for three weeks. From this, the audience's enthusiastic reaction can be seen.

The excellent reputation of the movie undoubtedly makes the "Black Swan" have a deeper box office durability driving force. In the eighth week of release, that is, the third week of January, with the highest peak of the expansion of theaters, the "Black Swan" also relies on the 8 million US dollars of box office on the weekend to officially cross the 100 million threshold!

Then the "Black Swan" continued to work hard in the North American market, and finally frozen its North American box office at a position of 130 million US dollars, which was definitely a great victory!

But what is even more surprising is that the performance of "Black Swan" in overseas markets is truly outstanding. After being released in 58 countries and regions around the world, it has won the championship in thirteen countries and regions and won the championship in two places. The box office of "Black Swan" in the UK, South Korea, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Germany, France and Australia has all crossed the threshold of 10 million. Among them, Japan, which won the overseas box office championship, contributed 30 million US dollars in box office data, which also made the overseas box office data of "Black Swan" finally reach 290 million US dollars, which is really incredible.

In this way, the global box office of "Black Swan" reached 420 million US dollars, which no one could predict. No sign of such a box office was seen, whether it was an investment of 13 million US dollars or an artistic film with psychological thriller themes. But that's the case, Evan Bell once again created a miracle.
