Affected by the poor word of mouth, the one-day box office on the first working day on Monday plummeted by as much as 75%, far exceeding the general level of commercial entertainment films. The one-day box office on Monday plummeted from $1,107. At $2.8 million, like all films with a bad reputation, there is a very obvious trend of opening up and down. Fast update without ads.

Even on Tuesday, a traditional North American movie ticket sale day, single-day box office sales continued to drop, only raking in $2.1 million and on the verge of falling below $2 million.

By Wednesday, even with the news of Matthew and Rex Reed's sympathy, his daily output had fallen below $2 million to just $1.85 million.

A new weekend is coming, and some media predict that the next weekend's box office will drop by more than 70%...

On Thursday, the box office dropped to its lowest since its release, taking in $1.65 million in a single day.

Afterwards, the film entered its second weekend, and the weekend box office rebound was inevitable, probably because the publicity of Universal Pictures was still hot, and the film also had enough selling points. A 70% cliff-like plunge.

However, compared with the explosive performance of 40.37 million US dollars in the first week of its release, there was still a 55% drop, and it closed at 18.15 million US dollars in three days on the next weekend.

Ten days of release, the North American box office totaled 66.92 million US dollars.

In the absence of strong competitors before May, most media generally believe that the final North American box office must exceed 100 million.

Also this weekend, it also began to be released in some major overseas markets in Europe and the United States. The overseas screening is much cooler than that in North America. Even if the overseas box office of the North American blockbuster movie is generally not bad, the first week overseas can only be said to be the box office. mediocre.

In Australia, less than US$1.9 million was sold in the first week; Brazil, the largest market for Hollywood films in South America, was only over US$1 million in the first week; in the European market, the first week in France was US$1.2 million, and Germany was close to US$2 million. Italy has less than half a million dollars…

Fortunately, the United Kingdom and Mexico, two of Hollywood's largest overseas markets, are doing well. The former reaped nearly 2.5 million US dollars, and the latter broke out 3 million US dollars.

According to rough statistics, the overseas box office grossed more than 13 million US dollars in the first week. Judging from the response of various markets, the final overseas box office revenue is difficult to exceed 100 million US dollars.

After Matthew got the statistics, he also analyzed the situation himself. Although he is not an expert in the film market, he is not a rookie at the beginning. He has a little understanding.

Compared with the first weekend box office in North America, it was released in nearly 50 overseas markets, and the first week box office can be said to be mediocre.

Overseas markets, especially Europe, where is the biggest consumption point for Hollywood entertainment movies? He believes that it is stars and special effects. Hollywood stars created by purely commercial means have more market appeal, not to mention special effects. Hollywood's advantages are so obvious that even Europe, where the film industry is developed, cannot compare.

The special effects are very general, there are basically no big scenes, the battle is completely concentrated on the action scenes of the male protagonist, and the advantages in this respect are not obvious.

As for the stars, it goes without saying that before the movie was released, there was no actor who could be considered a star.

As the male and female protagonists of the two major selling points, there is not much advantage. The male protagonist can say that his type of action actor also has a market in Europe. As for Hu Kaili, who has a variety of styles and few clothes, it has never been seen in European movies. There is no shortage of **** and beautiful actresses who dare to take off and leak, and this aspect should not be very attractive to European audiences.

Then there is the publicity and hype of Universal Pictures, whether it is the kissing the donkey incident or the hard and soft publicity, it is mainly aimed at the North American market, and its influence overseas is relatively small.

Even, the crew never went overseas to run the announcement.

Universal Pictures has limited publicity and distribution expenses, and its main focus is naturally the North American market.

In the North American market, despite the mediocre word of mouth and the trend is not stable, it won the North American box office rankings for three consecutive times with 40.37 million US dollars, 18.15 million US dollars and 9.45 million US dollars in one fell swoop. Lost the throne of the North American box office champion, but the fourth weekend's $4.25 million box office also brought the North American total to more than $90 million.

Then, the traditional North American summer program kicked off. This year's opening film was a little spider called Peter Parker. Once it came out, all the monsters and monsters had to give way. This film from Sony Columbia Pictures was released in a super large-scale theater. The number of lines and the ultra-high film arrangement rate have seriously squeezed the screening space of other films.

It was directly cut to less than 1,500 theaters, and each theater had an average of less than five screenings per day.

Without any suspense, it dominated the North American film market this weekend, and set a new North American premiere box office record with a box office of more than 114 million US dollars. $100 million movie.

Under the suppression of , the box office of other films was relatively low, and only received a little more than 2 million US dollars at the box office in the fifth weekend.

However, plus the first four working days, the North American box office broke the $100 million mark in one fell swoop!

The $100 million North American box office is undoubtedly a watershed moment for Hollywood movies in this era.

As the absolute protagonist in the film, Matthew is undoubtedly a very high-profile Hollywood actor in April and May. When participating in any public event, there is an endless stream of people looking for autographs. As long as he leaves the house, he will follow the paparazzi and occasionally get rid of it. The paparazzi will soon be caught up.

His street shots and stills appear on the Internet and in newspapers and magazines from time to time.

Even the previous experiences of being a car repair apprentice, construction worker, and small driver have been revealed by the gossip media.

More gossip reporters dug up the scandal between him and Britney, and made a lot of hype, so that more paparazzi chased after Matthew, but after a period of time, the paparazzi reporter found that it was just hype, Because Matthew has never met Britney.

Although there are no gossip and scandals to shoot, paparazzi reporters are still happy to follow Matthew, because there is indeed something to shoot, and readers and consumers seem to be more willing to watch what they shoot.

Santa Monica Beach, two female paparazzi are sitting under the sun umbrellas on the beach with cameras, looking at the sea not far away, they look like they are waiting for someone, there are not many people on the beach today, they all the way from the north Hollywood followed here, planning to take a few swimsuit photos of the target.

"When he wears clothes, he is very stylish, he is a natural clothes rack..."

The female paparazzi with short hair whispered to her assistant, "The figure revealed in the middle is not bad, but who knows if it is the result of post-processing, I will use a telephoto lens to take a close-up later!"

The long-haired female assistant was adjusting the camera lens and said, "It should be no different. When I came over, I saw his back. It was...it was perfect."

She just arrived at the beach first, but because of parking, she only had time to glance at the back of the tracking target, and the other party descended into the sea.

Since this was not a pre-arranged photo shoot, there were many other tourists in the sea, so they didn't go over to shoot, and planned to wait for him to go ashore.

In the blue water, Matthew stretched out his head, wiped the water droplets on his face, and continued to swim away from the coast. He was originally not good at water, but the guy before is a good swimmer, but he is also himself. A wild way to practice.

Because the role to be competed for may go to the Caribbean for live shooting in the future, Matthew added swimming training for himself, and the benefits of swimming for fitness are self-evident. For the first week, he swam in the indoor swimming pool. Look for that feeling that this body leaves behind.

This is the second time he has come to the beach for a swim, but the last time he went to the golden beach in Malibu, it is a private property, and the paparazzi reporters can't get in, which is not in line with his recent strategy~www.readwn.com~ So today Specially came to the open Santa Monica Beach.

He swam forward another 30 meters, no one on either side could see, the shark prevention net was not far ahead, Matthew turned his head and swam back, and it didn't take long for him to reach the shallow water where he could stand. In the water above your belly, look at this beach while resting.

Santa Monica Beach has a unique location. It is backed by rolling green hills and faces the vast Pacific Ocean. Compared with Malibu, the sea is much quieter and calmer.

This is also the end of the famous Route 66 that runs through the United States. This is a once famous highway that has gradually lost its prosperity. It has also appeared in many Hollywood movies.

What Matthew remembers most clearly is that in the middle, the actor played by Tom Hanks ran across Route 66.

A girl who was learning to swim passed by in front of him wearing a swimming ring, suddenly stopped and stood up, looking at Matthew in surprise.

"You..." The girl's eyes widened, "Are you the Scorpion King?"

She took another look at Matthew and confirmed, "Are you Matthew Horner?"

Matthew said with a smile, "Yes, I am."

The girl looked surprised, chatted to Matthew, and left after a while.

Watching the girl leave, Matthew was even more sure that he was really famous. On such an ordinary beach, if he was swimming in a very ordinary dress, anyone would recognize him.

"It feels really good."

He walked towards the beach, looked around, and muttered, "Where's the reporter? Where's the paparazzi? Come and shoot me, hurry up and shoot..."
