No. 51
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" 2010 Fantasy/Adventure David Yates
977,043,483$
It is obvious that David Yates is a very imaginative director and a very outstanding businessman. After taking over the fifth part of "Harry Potter", his reputation has increased and his box office has been successful. If the box office of the two films is merged, the global box office of " Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows " may exceed US$2.319 billion, ranking among the top three global box offices.
Some people say that this film is the most loyal to the original work and the most emotional one in the series. Director David Yets successfully balances the story narrative, character emotions and visual effects, making it a high-scoring film that truly has a super story core.
No. 52
"Despicable 2" 2013 Animation/Comedy Pierre Coffin, Chris Renard
970,766,005$
"Despicable 2" is the smallest investment in this series, with an investment of 76 million, and a box office of 970 million US dollars worldwide. As a cartoon of young children, this film is qualified, and as an excellent animation sequel, this film is obviously a failure.
The film Hong Kong translation is "Bad Guy Award 2". The story tells the story of a "bad guy" who has changed his mind and prevents other bad guys from doing bad things. The storyline of the movie is relatively thin, and the villain is also weak. In the end, only three capsules are left to make the minions play in the whole process.
No. 53
" Fantasy Forest " 2016 Fantasy/Adventure Jon Favreau
966,554,929$
"The story of "Fantasy Forest" comes from the famous Nobel Prize in Literature winner-Rudyard Kipling's legendary children's book of the same name, telling the story of a boy adopted by a female wolf, Mowry , who continued to grow up in the wolf pack, and eventually defeated his opponent and became the king of the jungle.
fantasy adventure, good and evil contest, self-growth, Hollywood "Hero's Process" narrative model and routine did not add points to the film, but instead had clear hair and lifelike CG animations that gave this story greater value. The film's box office in North America exceeded US$364 million and its overseas box office exceeded US$602 million.
No. 54
"The Brave Game: Battle of the Jungle" 2017 Science Fiction/Adventure Jack Kasdan
962,542,945$
0 The first "The Brave Game" released in 1995, let us see the charm and "horror" of Jumanji's game for the first time. The story of role-playing, time-traveling adventures, and return to reality, coupled with the open mind and novel and shocking special effects, became the classic work of that year.
23 years later, Jumanji's game is reopened. The sequel, led by tough actor Dayne Johnson and starring Karen Gillan , Jack Black , Kevin Hart , has not found the essence of the story of "The Brave Game". The average rating is 6.1/10, and the box office is quite good. The investment is US$90 million, with a global investment of 962 million, of which the box office in North America is 404 million and the overseas box office is 558 million (US$77.94 million in China).
No. 55
"The Hobbit 3: Battle of the Five Armies" 2014 Fantasy/War Peter Jackson
962,182,865$
"The Hobbit" story tells the story of the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins and his companions, being involved in a war of resistance. They must stop the terrifying Smaug The dragon seizes the treasure of the kingdom and destroys the entire Middle-earth world. "The Hobbit 3" has a box office of over US$255 million in North America and an overseas box office of over US$707 million (the box office of over US$122 million in mainland China).
Peter Jackson tried to turn fantasy epic into adventure films using the "new bottle of old wine" model, weakening the discussion of topics such as human nature, justice, and race in " Lord of the Rings ", and instead focusing on the expression of technology and vision, extending the stories that could be solved at one time to the length of 3 movies, and ultimately, it failed to reach the height of the "Lord of the Rings" series.
No. 56
"Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" 2007 Fantasy/Adventure Gore Fbinsgay
960,996,492$
Starting from "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", this fantasy and adventure pirate story began to go downhill. The investment cost of up to $300 million was finally exchanged for $960 million worldwide, with an input-output ratio of 1:3, just reaching the passing line of Hollywood's big productions. The film received 309 million yuan in North America and 651 million US dollars overseas, and Japan is its largest overseas vote.
As this series of films sells out, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become a money tree for Disney , and the pay for starring stars has also risen. In "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the actor who plays Captain Jack , Johnny Depp, , pays as much as $60 million per person. Special effects shots, model production, and global marketing have also become the "culprits" that drive up the cost of the film.
No. 57
"The Hobbit 2: The Battle of Smaug" 2013 Fantasy/Adventure Peter Jackson
959,007,513$
If " Hobbit 1 Unexpected Journey " is a gorgeous adventure, then "The Hobbit 2" is a display of special effects and wonders. As the center connecting the past and the future, this film lost to the first and third parts of the Hobbit in box office, and North America received 258 million yuan and 700 million yuan in box office overseas.
Vita Studio, which has won the Oscar for the Best Visual Effects award five times, has applied the miniature models, digital landscape paintings, green screen cutouts and other technologies in "Lord of the Rings" to the "Hobbit" series, bringing real and shocking effects to the film. In addition, the visual effects in the well-known films such as "King Kong", " Avatar ", " Blade Runner 2049", " Narnia Legend ", and " Rise of the Planet of the Apes " are all from the Vita production team.
No. 58
"Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" 2002 Fantasy/War Peter Jackson
947,495,095$
2002, while we were still cheering for the Chinese blockbuster era created by "Heroes", Hollywood on the other side of the ocean successfully created a Middle-earth world full of fantasy and epic using the "Lord of the Rings" series (one in 2001-2003 every year). As the pinnacle of the integration of art and business, the Lord of the Rings series has won a total of 17 Oscars and 351 international awards of various types.
"Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" continues the first style while the multi-line development story pattern makes the film more enjoyable. Between the evil eye tower of "Demon King" Sauron and the Aisinger tower of "White Robe Wizard" Saruman , the battle between light and darkness, the showdown of justice and evil, and the glory of human nature are all integrated into this 235-minute allegorical epic.
No. 59
"Doctor Strange 2: Crazy Multiverse" 2022 Science Fiction/Action Sam Raimi
947,014,432$
"Doctor Strange 2: Crazy Multiverse" is on the list this week, squeezing "Harry Potter and the Mixed Race Prince" released in 2009 out of this list. "Doctor Strange 2" was released in North America on May 6 this year, with a global box office of US$450 million in the first week. With the influence of masks and the lack of release in China, this opening performance was second only to "Spider-Man: The Return of Heroes", "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4".
This film is a regular work on Marvel's assembly line, with visual effects and chaotic plot. After officially entering the fourth stage, Marvel not only needs to deal with the relationship between new and old characters, but also introduce the concept of multiverse. As the key to Marvel's previous and next stage, this film barely passes the results and fails to play its due value.
No. 60
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" 2007 Fantasy/Adventure David Yates
942,172,396$
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" did not choose to be in the traditional Thanksgiving period, but chose the intense summer period. Under the summer attack of strong enemies in "Spider-Man 3", "Shrek 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Transformers Live Edition", he still achieved good results. After the release of this film, the global box office was excellent, of which the box office in North America exceeded US$292 million and the overseas box office exceeded US$649 million.
As the fifth part of the Harry Potter movie series, in the development of the treacherous story, Voldemort was reborn, the Ministry of Magic changed hands, and eventually promoted the establishment of the Order of the Phoenix, the teacher of justice in the magic world. In the war of good and evil with Umbridge, the mystery firm, and the corpse eaters, Harry's duel with the big devil gradually floated on the surface.
This list has ended, and the next list will show the domestic movies you have been looking forward to. For the domestic market, which has a huge population base of 1.412 billion and 1.73 billion views per year, such results are somewhat mixed. (Text/Sanfushanren)
