Because Sunday coincides with the Christmas holiday of "Western Spring Festival", some companies suspended the release of box office data, and the accurate list was not released until Tuesday (December 27th). Rogue One:A Star Wars Story (a star wars story) won the championship with a profit of $64.37 million in the next week, and won the 20th weekly crown for Disney in 2016! In addition, the song and dance animation "Sing", "Big Cousin" Jennifer Lawrence and "Star-Lord" Chris Palat made by Lighting Entertainment talked about the romantic sci-fi "Passengers" and "Assassin&rsquo Creed" adapted from the classic action game. Creed) and "old white" Brian cranston and "son-in-law" James Frank pinch each other’s "Why him? 》(Why Him? ) ranked second, third, fourth and fifth. Although the next week’s decline of Grand Theft Auto 1 was nearly 60%, the market lost a lot of profits, but because of the Christmas warming effect, TOP12 only fell by less than 17.1%, with a total income of 171 million.

China, I’m coming.
Rogue One:A Star Wars Story, the first in the Star Wars series, unexpectedly dominated this year’s Christmas holiday. Disney still maintained the release scale of 4,157 cinemas for the "Grand Theft Auto", and recorded $64.37 million in the weekend for three days. The revenue of a single museum remained at $15,486, and North America accumulated nearly 300 million levels (286 million). This is Disney’s 20th box office week in 2016 (there are 52 box office weeks so far). After entering the Christmas file (November), it is only one week away from his home (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). I believe that the last week of this year will still belong to Mickey Mouse.
But then again, with the bonus of Christmas, the next week’s decline rate of Grand Theft Auto 1 is still close to 60%, which still makes people feel a little disappointed. It is generally believed in the industry that "Grand Theft Auto" will copy the trend of Hunger Games 2: single spark can start a prairie fire (158 million, down 53.1% and ending at 424 million), because the scenes of these two films are similar — — All the paintings started between 150 million and 160 million, and all of them were closed for four days (Grand Theft Auto Christmas and Spark Thanksgiving). The next week, they all faced the challenge of an animation (Grand Theft Auto Sing, Spark and Frozen). Now it seems that Grand Theft Auto’s trip to North America may end between 420 million and 450 million. This means that Finding Nemo 2 has won the North American title in 2016, which is the first animation title in six years after Toy Story 3 in 2010. Since 1980, there have been five animation awards, namely Aladdin in 1992, Toy Story 1 in 1995, Shrek 2 in 2004, Toy Story 3 in 2010 and Finding Nemo 2 this year.
Overseas "Grand Theft Auto" landed in major ticket warehouses one after another. As of last Sunday, the global box office exceeded 400 million, and as of Monday, it exceeded 500 million (due to the statistical lag). It should only be a matter of time before the global break of 10, so Disney will become the first distribution company with three 400 million+in North America and four 1 billion+in the world in the same year. Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I’ll mention it by the way. As of December 19th, the global box office of Disney Pictures has exceeded 7 billion, surpassing last year’s global 6.89 billion dollars and setting a new record. That is to say, the three records of the highest box office in North America, overseas and the world set by Universal last year were all rewritten in less than a year.
The rapidly rising lights
This week, the runner-up was Sing, a musical animation co-produced by Lighting Entertainment and Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures opened a super-large scale of more than 4,000 cinemas for it, which earned $35.29 million on the third day of the weekend. As the film premiered on Thursday, the total box office had exceeded 55 million by the end of the weekend.
When The Secret Life of Pets was released, I summarized the characteristics of lighting entertainment. When DreamWorks was stagnant, Lan Tianqiang was only applauding the old Leica, and lighting entertainment has grown into the roof of the world of animation market. This is due to the two magic weapons of lighting — — Cost control and feature building. Needless to say, the production costs of Daddy Thief 2, Minions, The Secret Life of Pets and Sing are all reduced between 70 million and 75 million. Compared with the production cost of Disney Pixar, which is 200 million, it is definitely a model of frugality. The so-called characteristic creation is the positioning of the lighting lamp after two Despicable Me tests and Minions’s unexpected popularity. Since it can’t reach the depth of Disney, it doesn’t have the expansion power of DreamWorks, and it doesn’t have the concentration on stop-motion animation like Lycra, then — — Sell cute! This sale went from "daddy" to "good voice"! Looking back on the two animations of the Christmas file, Magic Hair Genie and Ocean Romance, all proved the revival of "singing and dancing", so "Good Voice" combined them to form a "singing and dancing" killer, bombarding your eardrum with 85 hot songs, forming a double-tube entertainment feast of watching and listening.
All-star dubbing lineup
According to the current trend, the film is expected to recover the cost of $75 million in two or three days, and North America has the possibility of hitting 200 million. Overseas paintings have been opened two weeks in advance, and they have performed brilliantly in many box office countries. If Disney is not too rebellious, the performance of the world is still bright.
The original sci-fi that two stars can’t save.
Ranked third is "Passengers" starring Jennifer Lawrence, the "Big Cousin", and Chris Palat, the "Star-Lord". Sony Pictures opened 3,478 cinemas for this film, which earned $14.85 million on three weekends, and the total revenue reached $22.17 million including the box office on Wednesday and Thursday. For a commercial sci-fi with two first-line stars, it is obviously a paste!
Comedians are everywhere
In a horizontal comparison, the opening of Passengers is not as good as Joey Struggle (17 million), which was also starred by the eldest cousin last Christmas, and the cost is as high as 110 million US dollars. Sony will lose money this time. In fact, in recent years, the original science fiction has been in a half-dead state, and Jupiter Ascending and Tomorrow World are all classic cases of vomiting publishers. The best-selling works are not without exception, but they are labeled with giant IP, such as "Jurassic" of dinosaurs, "Prometheus" of aliens and so on. After all, it is too difficult to build a sci-fi aerial and tell a complete story in just two hours. Judging from the current trend, the North American income of Sky Traveler is expected to stay at around 50 million.
Father-in-law and son-in-law tear cock drama
Ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, are the restricted comedy "Why Him" co-starred by Brian cranston and James Franco. 》(Why Him? ), and Assassin&rsquo Creed (& rsquo; s Greed)。 These two films were both released by 20th Century Flowserve Company. The former was released in 2917 cinemas and won $11.05 million on the weekend. The latter logged on 2,970 screens and recorded $10.28 million on the weekend, with an average performance.
Let’s start with the R-rated comedy, "Why him? John Hanberg, the screenwriter of the trilogy "Meeting the Father-in-law", wrote the script. When you see him, it is not difficult to guess "Why Him?" What’s the tone? This film, like "Meeting the Father-in-law", is a son-in-law’s life and death, and her husband’s strong rhythm of fighting mandarin ducks will inevitably lead to a happy ending. Although it is a life’s core monuments comedy at Christmas, it is not difficult to recover the cost of $38 million due to the R-rated restricted classification. Let’s talk about the adaptation of the best-selling game "Assassin’s Creed". Last year’s Shakespeare play "Macbeth" contributed to the triangular lineup of director Justin kusel+Shark+Cotillard. This year, this lineup was copied to "Assassin’s Creed" as it is. Of course, this is not accurate, because the project of "Assassin’s Creed" was actually earlier than that of Macbeth. The film was originally planned to be released in May 2015, but it was forced to be postponed to the end of 16 years after repeated filming.
Game adaptation — — It’s not easy to love you
There are almost no successful examples of game adaptation. As a veteran game fan, I have been catching up with Silent Hill, Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed from Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Marx Payne and Prince of Persia all the way, but I don’t know what the ghost will be like in Mysterious Sea. The fundamental reason why the game adaptation is difficult to succeed is the plot. Almost every next-generation game with a plot has a story capacity of more than ten hours, and the film must compress it to present it within two hours, which will inevitably lead to a sharp deletion of the plot. In addition, with the continuous innovation of CG technology, the cutscenes of many games have reached the level of blockbusters. Go to the cinema to see the adaptation! ? It seems that it is not an inevitable option.
In view of the fact that the cost of "Assassin’s Creed" is as high as $125 million, but only $17.77 million was opened on the 4th, Fox is facing huge losses.
Finally, put the meat to seduce and lick.
