North American box office hits a new spring record

Last weekend, the box office revenue of the US movie market soared by 75%-80% compared with the same period last year. These American audiences seem to really regard the cinema as a haven. Judging from the list of newly released films, such as the declining Fast and Furious series, and the new film Adventureland of "Super Bad" director Greg Mottola, these films have a certain amount of blockbuster potential, but it is obvious Neither is expected to make a $72.5 million opening weekend. However, "Cars" did it, despite the fact that Nicky Rocco, the head of marketing at Universal Pictures, the film's distributor, said that everything seemed to be expected, "A good movie will be released at any time of day. "People are sought after", but for the film's high box office sales, many people who pay attention to Hollywood movies can't help but sigh: What the hell! "Cars" beat "Cars" ("Fast and Furious 4") at the box office last Friday in 3,461 theaters in the United States. Universal Pictures suddenly changed the schedule in December last year and put the film originally released in the summer vacation this year. The film was released in advance to April. I didn’t expect this change to create such a high commercial value today. The film's opening weekend box office was 72.5 million US dollars and the single-house box office was 20,950 US dollars, making it the box office champion last weekend with an absolute advantage. At the same time, judging from the opening weekend box office records of Hollywood films from January to April over the years, this The film now holds the No. 2 box office after "The Passion of the Christ" ($83.84 million), which was released on February 25, 2004. In terms of genre films, the film has now replaced "Cars" as the best-selling car movie at the box office; in terms of action films, the film also beat 2007's The Bourne 3. Who would have thought that the fourth episode was filmed, and the total box office of the third episode in the United States also dropped sharply to 62.51 million US dollars (the total box office of the first two films in the United States was 144 million and 127 million respectively), and the drag racing is gradually sluggish. The film series can set another record at this time. Presumably the director of the film, Justin Lin, did not dream that he would win such a career peak after filming "Tokyo Drift". Not to mention, just by virtue of the three-day box office of "Car Racing", the Taiwanese-born Chinese director has a chance to make a name for himself in Hollywood.

    In fact, I think that foreign blockbusters have similar plots, and the biggest selling point is special effects, which is really good.
