" venom 2 " broke the annual record of opening drawings in North America.
In the first week of October, "Venom 2: The Beginning of the Massacre" ignited the North American theaters.
Unsurprisingly, "Venom 2: The Beginning of the Carnage" (hereinafter referred to as "Venom 2") broke the annual record with 90 million U.S. dollars, giving the autumn and winter film market a new lease of life. At the same time, the six-year-old "007: No Time to Die" also set sail in many overseas places, with a cumulative score of over 100 million, which demonstrates Bond 's enduring appeal.
"Venom 2" broke the annual record, and the North American film market opened a red plate
According to IMDb statistics, "Venom 2" appeared in 4,225 theaters in North America, showing a strong momentum from zero o'clock. It surpassed the US$8.8 million of "Shangqi and Legend of the Ten Rings" with US$11.6 million, second only to " Black Widow" (US$13.2 million). On the first day, "Venom 2" swept 37.42 million U.S. dollars, keeping pace with "Black Widow" (39.51 million U.S. dollars), significantly higher than "Shangqi and Legend of the Ten Rings" (29.5 million U.S. dollars); at the same time, the North American single-day market soared by 2,333 from the previous month. % Is the steepest increase since "A Quiet Place 2".
In the next two days, "Venom 2" dropped 16% and 34%, respectively. The box office closed at $90.03 million in the first weekend, breaking the original record of $80.37 million in "Black Widow"; The revenue of a single library reached US$21,300, which also created a new annual high. In fact, "Venom 2" also stepped on the performance of the previous game: Three years ago, in the same period, "Venom" started with US$80.26 million, and eventually accumulated to US$214 million in North America, and the global box office reached US$856 million.
According to the calculation model of The-Numbers, compare works such as "Venom", "Spider-Man: Heroes Expedition" and "X-Men: Black Phoenix",Substituting 65% of the offline audience return ratio, the predicted value of "Venom 2" in the first weekend is 55.9 million US dollars, which is only 62% of the actual figure; if adjusted according to the advance field data, "Venom 2" will rise to 7827 Ten thousand dollars is still 13% lower than the figure announced by Sony.
From the perspective of audience composition, "Venom 2" attracted 62% of men to buy tickets, and young people under the age of 25 also accounted for 25%. However, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes in "Venom 2" is only 59%, which is much higher than the 30% of the predecessor "disaster level", but it is far from the 92% of "Shangqi and Legend of the Ten Rings". The follow-up box office trend is worthwhile observe.
Due to frequent schedule changes, "Venom 2" only landed in Russia overseas, with a total of $13.8 million in the first weekend, setting a record for Sony Pictures' opening in the local area, and the global figure is close to 104 million Dollar. "Venom 2" will be expanded to Latin America next week, and it will land in major international markets this month, but the mainland, which contributed US$269 million to the previous game, has not yet been finalized.
In addition to "Venom 2," which swept various records, there was another new film that performed well last week. The animated film sequel "The Adams Family 2" was released by United Artists. It received approximately $17.33 million in 4,207 theaters, squeezing out Marvel 's "Shangqi and the Legend of Ten Rings" into the second place. The-Numbers had predicted that "The Adams Family 2" would receive $16.64 million in the first weekend, but the actual number was 4% higher.
Of course, "The Adams Family 2" did not reach the high point of its predecessor: In 2019, "The Adams Family" reached 30.3 million U.S. dollars when it premiered, and eventually exceeded the 100 million U.S. dollar mark. However, considering that most of the animated films are struggling this year, the opening results of "The Adams Family 2" are still remarkable; the previous " Baby Boss 2 " of US$16 million is temporarily the best of its kind, but it is not as good as the first in the same period. One-third of it.
It’s worth mentioning that, in addition to landing on the big screen, "The Adams Family 2" is also on-demand simultaneously on MGM Video.The single rental fee is $19.99. In contrast, "Baby Boss 2" was launched on the Peacock platform, which shows that streaming media has more significant erosion of the offline box office.
And Warner Bros.'s theater network synchronization strategy has once again withstood a blow: the prequel movie " Newark All Saints" of the popular American drama " Sopranos" appeared in 3181 theaters, and only won in the first weekend 5 million U.S. dollars, failed to enter the top three box office charts. In addition to landing on the North American theaters, "Newark All Saints" also appeared simultaneously on HBO Max; according to Samba TV statistics, "Newark All Saints" attracted 1 million American families on HBO Max in the first weekend. Although the freshness of rotten tomatoes in "Newark All Saints" reached 74%, higher than that of "Venom 2" and "The Adams Family 2" (23%), the good reputation can hardly offset the diversion effect of HBO Max.
At the same time, "Shangqi and Legend of the Ten Rings" conquered the US$200 million mark on the last day of September, and reached US$206 million as of last Sunday. "Quick Pursuit" has a gap of only $120,000 and is about to become the highest-grossing film in North America in the past two years.
Boosted by "Venom 2" and "The Adams Family 2", the North American market surged 232% to US$128 million over the weekend, leaving behind US$119 million in the premiere week of "Black Widow"; at the same time, the total annual North American box office Breaking through 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, it is expected to hit the 3 billion mark within two weeks.
"Venom 2" is fighting on the Bond screen, and the exclusive advantages of the theaters are fully demonstrated
When gradually regaining the position during the window period, "Venom 2" adds another example of the superiority of the theaters' exclusive release.
Last month, the four-game series of "Legend of Shang Qi and Ten Rings" surpassed the piracy-affected "Black Widow", while "Venom 2", which was also adapted from Marvel characters, surpassed the former at the premiere , To further consolidate the dominant position of the big screen in the Hollywood distribution network.
Judging from the main lineup, "Venom 2" is directed by the famous motion capture master Andy Serkins , Tom Hardy once again plays the downcast reporter Eddie, Michelle · Williams also returns to the sequel. After forming the "best partner" with the extraterrestrial symbiote "Venom", the host Eddie will face the villain symbiote "slaughter" in "Venom 2", the latter being parasitized by Woody Harrison starred The serial killer Crete Kassadi.
It is worth mentioning that "Venom 2" is the second bullet of the "Spider-Man Universe" planned by Sony. In the future, more Spider-Man villains are planned to appear on the big screen: next January, by Jared Lay "Dr. Night: Mobius" led by will be released, while "Hunter Clevin" led by Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set for 2023.
Judging from the first week of release, "Venom 2" and "The Adams Family 2" ranked 3rd and 4th in the year respectively, second only to " jungle voyage" (4310) and "Shangqi and Legend of the Ten Rings" (4300 companies). In fact, this is the first time in North America that two movies have been rolled out to more than 4,200 theaters in the same weekend, and it is only the second time that two movies have landed in 4,000 theaters at the same time. 2: The Golden Circle" and " Lego Ninjago Movie". Except for the similarity in time, the two times are both action and family genres, showing the theater's consideration of the target audience when booking the movie.
On the other hand, Warner Bros.'s challenge to the window period has become unsustainable. Originally, the brand quality of "Newark All Saints" was quite eye-catching: as the origin story of "The Sopranos", the background of the film was set to a period of rampant violence in Newark in the 1960s.The American drama "The Sopranos" was broadcast for six seasons from 1999 to 2007, and won 21 Emmy Awards , 5 Golden Globe Awards and other honors. Because the original star of James Gandolfini passed away in 2013, his son Michael Gandolfini took the lead in "Newark Sanctuary" and played the young version of Mafia leader Tony Shaplan promise.
"The Sopranos" Season 4
Before "Newark All Saints", the "experimental products" synchronized by the other three institutions of Warner Bros., namely "Remembrance" and "Fatal "Induction" and "Crying Man" both scored less than $6 million in their first weekend, and "Newark All Saints" unfortunately became another box office "dud". After "Venom 2" swept the big screen, Warner Bros. has not yet changed the " sand dune " network synchronization plan in North America, which can not help but make people feel a cold sweat on this sci-fi giant.
Of course, the strong recovery of the offline box office is not limited to North America. After a delay of 18 months, "007: No Time to Die" took the lead in 54 countries and regions, and it made $119 million in the first weekend. In comparison, the figure for the same period in "007: Ghost Party" was $123 million.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, "007: No Time to Die" reached $6.2 million to $6.8 million in box office on Thursday, which is about 13% higher than "007: Ghost Party", which premiered on Monday, but better than "007: The Devil" The first Friday of the year was 26% lower. As of last Sunday, "007: No Time to Die" has earned 34.8 million U.S. dollars in the UK, which is the best opening of the Bond series in the local area. In addition, "007: No Time to Die" is available in Germany (US$14.7 million), Japan (US$5.8 million), Denmark (US$5.3 million), South Korea (US$4.6 million), and Sweden (US$4.1 million) , The Netherlands (3.7 million US dollars) and Switzerland (3.2 million US dollars) each exceeded 3 million US dollars, showing dominance in various countries across Europe and Asia.
In addition, the "Dune", which exclusively landed on the big screen overseas, has exceeded 100 million in three weeks after its release. France (US$18.6 million), Russia (US$18.1 million) and Germany (US$13.4 million) temporarily rank among the top three, but they also Under the impact of new films such as "Venom 2" and "007: No Time to Die".
From next week, "007: No Time to Die" will be released in North America, and "Venom 2" will start the "two heroes showdown" on the big screen.
