The tenth issue of "Global Box Office Archives" has compiled the six shark-themed movies with the highest box office in the world.
sixth place: "Shark Beach", global box office: 119 million US dollars
"Gossip Girl" Blake Lively starred in a small cost thriller, production cost only For $17 million, the director is the Spaniard Zomi Silla who has filmed classic suspense films such as " orphan grievance" and " air rescue". "Shark Beach" is a typical small and beautiful thriller movie with very few scenes. The main character is only one person and one shark. The director uses superb skills to make almost every second of the film thrilling. A little partner who likes thrillers. Guys, this film should not be missed.
Fifth place: "Deep Sea Shark", global box office: 164 million US dollars
In the history of film, there are hundreds of thrillers related to sharks. Most of them are shoddy low-cost works. This "Deep Sea Shark" is a rare A-level big production. The film was released in 1999 and cost 60 million US dollars to build. Compared with the " Matrix" released in the same year, the production cost was only 63 million US dollars. . Expensive production costs make the special effects of sharks in "Deep Sea Shark" extremely realistic. Not only that, there are also many big scenes such as explosions and plane crashes in the film. This film is considered to be the first of the three monster thrillers in the VCD era. The other two are "Prehistoric Crocodile" and "The Anaconda", but the production level is far from "Deep Sea Shark".
Fourth place: "Jaws 2", global box office: $187 million
After Steven Spielberg's global sensation Hollywood’s Universal Pictures has launched three sequels in more than ten years. Unfortunately, no matter whether it is at the box office or word of mouth, one is not as good as one. "Jaws 2" is the highest at the box office and the best reputation among them. A sequel, the film was released in 1978, and entered the ranks of the top ten best-selling films in North America that year. The film studio originally invited Spielberg to continue directing the sequel, but was rejected. At the time, the spirited Spielberg called shooting the sequel a clumsy trick, but after a few years, he himself directed the first of his life. A sequel movie " Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 ".
The global box office of "Jaws 2" is as high as US$187 million, which is still a big seller. Five years later, the global box office of " 3 " fell to US$88 million. Nine years later, "Jaws 4" sold only 52 million in the world. However, I personally feel that these three sequels can be used for entertainment for audiences who like shark movies.
Third place: "Shark Gang", global box office: $374 million
This is the only animated film on the list, and the only non-thriller shark work. The film was produced in the era when DreamWorks and Pixar competed. It is worth talking about. In 2001, the two companies each launched a monster-themed cartoon " Shrek " and "Monster Company",As a result, both in box office and award competition, DreamWorks' "Shrek" is even better. Two years later, the two companies vigorously produced an ocean-themed animation "Finding Nemo" and "Shark Gangster" respectively, but this time, it ended in a fiasco of DreamWorks. "Shark Gangster" no matter the North American box office or the global box office. The box office is much lower than "Finding Nemo", but the film is well-made and the dubbing lineup is extremely luxurious, and it is still regarded as the finest in animation movies.
Second place: "Jaws", global box office: $471 million
This film is the same as "Star Wars" "Terminator" and "Alien" One of the pioneering works in Hollywood history, the director Steven Spielberg also used this film to successfully enter the threshold of the first-line director in the United States, and has since opened his 40-year film career. Due to the low level of special effects production at that time, Spielberg had to be simple, greatly reducing the number of great white shark appearances in the film, and instead focused on creating a suffocating atmosphere in the film. The result was a great success. This technique was later used by Spielberg in " ET alien", " Jurassic Park" and other films. Almost all aliens and dinosaurs did not officially appear until halfway through the screening. Full of the audience's appetite. "Jaws" is not only a sensation, but also has a profound influence on later film creators. Stephen Chow has paid tribute to this film many times in his works such as ": the king of destruction " and " mermaid ".
first place: " megalodon ",Global box office: 530 million US dollars
This film is a Sino-American co-production and the most expensive shark film in film history. It cost 130 million US dollars to build, which is almost equivalent to 850 million yuan. The film has achieved box office success in both China and the United States. The box office in Mainland China is RMB 1.05 billion, and the box office in North America is also as high as US$145 million. This result is better than the recent " raging behemoth" and " Godzilla vs. King Kong". The North American box office of other monster films are all quite high, which is quite unexpected. It is reported that "Megalodon 2" has been established, and the starring is Guoda Statham, who is familiar to Chinese audiences. The film is expected to be released in 2022.
In addition to the above six films, the not-on-listed "Shocking Ocean", " Shark Sea " and the BBC documentary "Shark" are also worth watching. As for other shark-themed movies, such as " shark escape", " shark whirlwind", " tsunami shark mouth escape" and "death five sharks", they are basically shoddy circles. Qian Zhizuo, friends who like this kind of work pay attention to avoidance.
