Roundup of the week
It is estimated that by the time you see this list, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony has ended, and each "Golden Globe" has its own ownership, but the urine "equal division of pork" of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association is inevitable. On January 15th, the Broadcast Film Critics Association will announce the list of winners, the Oscar nominations will be officially announced on the same day, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be officially awarded next Sunday, so the mainstream tendencies in Hollywood can be seen, welcome to read my Oscar nomination predictions.
What was it like when I was 62?
This week's champion is Uncle Liam Neeson's classic series "Hurricane Rescue" latest work "Taken 3", the film was released in 3594 theaters, won 40.4 million US dollars in the opening box office on three weekends, and successfully broke through the 10,000 yuan mark in a single museum, and basically recovered the investment cost of 48 million US dollars in three days of release, confirming the uncle's immortal legend. This achievement ranked second in the January opening charts of film history, second only to "Sashu Self-Help Brothers" with $41.51 million; ranked fourth in the opening list of revenge films, followed by "Quantum of Solace Quantum of Solace" (67.52 million), "Hurricane Rescue 2" (49.51 million) and "300 Warriors: Rise of the Empire" (45.03 million); ranked fourth in the chase action thriller opening list, followed by "Captain America 2" (95.02 million), "Spy Heavy 3" (69.28 million) and "Spy Heavy 2" (69.28 million) and "Spy Heavy 2" ( 52.52 million). Ranked fifth on The Liam Neeson solo starring film opening list, after Star Wars Prequel 1 (64.82 million), Titans (61.23 million), Hurricane Rescue 2 (49.51 million) and Rise of Batman (48.74 million).
So far, all three "Hurricane Rescue" have won the North American box office in the first week of release, which is not easy for a small-budget action series, and compared with the various tragedies of recent new films, the opening score of 40 million US dollars is enough to prove the charm of Uncle Neeson. But looking at the inside of the series, the downward trend of the box office is still very obvious. The opening box office of "Hurricane 3" fell by 18 percentage points compared with the second part of the series ("Hurricane Rescue 2" 49 million opening paintings), and the final accumulation may not be able to reach the 163 million and 140 million levels of the first two films.
Still father-daughter affection
In an interview with The Irish Independent last year, Uncle Neeson claimed that he would set aside at most two more years to make action films, and would not pick up similar scripts later, likely to turn to drama or comedy. In fact, his arrangement has long foreshadowed, in the past two years he has guest starred in comedy films "Ace Announcer 2" and "A Million Ways to Die in the West", and also contributed to the animated feature films "Rob the Nut Shop" and "Lego Movies", and the tendency of the comedy route is still more obvious. Uncle Neeson did not elaborate too much on the reasons for the "transformation again", but it was not difficult to understand. In 2008, Uncle Neeson starred in "Hurricane Rescue 1", miraculously turned into the action field at the age of 56, and in the blink of an eye, 6 years have passed, and the uncle has also entered the age of 62. But the movement of playing or not fighting is actually not the main problem, the main problem is hollywood's "stereotype".
It's the wife bento
Uncle entered the field of action movies not by skill, but by wisdom. Liam Neeson does not have the skills of martial arts movie stars such as Shange Winton and Bruce Lee, and after taking over action movies, he is mostly a Jedi knight who is a teacher, a zeus god who follows the rules, a ninja master who leads the shadow warrior alliance, a commander of the whole army of super battleships, a captain who leads the expedition team to break through on the ice field, etc. Even if he shows chrysanthemums in a million ways of death, he is still a terrifying gangster boss, it can be said that in the long 6 or 7 years, Uncle Neeson is a veteran who "crosses more bridges than you walk" Teacher, this positioning is very suitable for its own temperament, otherwise it would not have cultivated a large number of fans for him in the short term. But an actor is stereotyped by Hollywood, it means that the day of returning home is not far away, such examples are countless, Jackie Chan Jet Li fell silent quickly after the Hollywood fire, Catherine Heiger all the way sweet sister finally had to turn back to the field of TV dramas, Hollywood can not stand again and again! Before discussing with others why Keanu Reeves flopped at the speed of light after the "Matrix" fire, the reason is nothing more than that he plays everything. On the other hand, the great god of the film industry, Meryl Streep, has been prosperous for a long time, that is, what it looks like to act, Uncle Neeson has been circled in a model type for 7 years, and it is natural to think about change.
So it is not difficult to see the uncle's plan, in two years it will be his 8th year in the action circle, when he will be 64 years old. It takes two years to change the drama path and complete the second transformation before the age of 65, after all, after the death of his beloved wife and other changes, Uncle Neeson's mentality is really difficult to guess. Therefore, don't complain that the uncle can't move or the plot is not good, it is really one less to watch.
"Selma" expanded to nearly 2,200 theaters this week, and won $11.2 million at the opening box office on the third day of the weekend, this film is very similar to "The White House Butler" released last year, both are based on real historical events, both are black racial themes, the timing of the two coincides, and the release strategy of the Olympic bid is basically similar. But compared to the $24.6 million opening record of "The White House Butler", "Selma" is still slightly inferior, only on par with Leonardo's "Hoover". But these are not problems, according to Paramount's plan, this film is a long-term fishing type, with the announcement of the Oscar nominations next week, if this film can get the nomination for best picture, I believe it will form a new round of stimulation at the subsequent box office, it is expected to recover the cost of 20 million US dollars next weekend, and finally run to 50 million.
In terms of old friends, "Magical Black Forest" and "Unsustainable" both broke through the 100 million yuan mark on Saturday, reaching about twice the cost benefits, and as the Oscar process deepened, each hit 150 million. The outlook for "The Hobbit 3: The Battle of the Five Armies" was very bad, plummeting 57% again in its fourth week of release, with a cumulative box office of $236 million, which was completely inferior to the box office of "Unexpected Journey" in the same period ("Unexpected Journey" was $263 million in the same period), and the 300 million mark was hopeless. However, the overseas box office is still growing steadily, this week's global total revenue reached 782 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "Guardians of the Galaxy" of 772 million in the annual runner-up, and now if you want to hit the global championship of "Transformers 4", only the sky dynasty box office explosion is possible, everything will be revealed next week. Four weeks after its release, "Museum Horror Night 3" grossed 99.52 million, and it only takes one or two days to break 100 million, as long as the cost of $127 million can be recovered. "Imitation Game" only fell 1.9% under the background of the award season, according to this trend also has the possibility of breaking 100 million, if it can win on the three major weather vanes and even the Oscars, I believe that the box office space will be further extended. As for the Annual Crown battle in North America, it is expected to end next week, and the cumulative box office of "Hungry Big Cousin" "Mockingbird" (Part 1) has reached $329 million, and next week it is estimated to surpass "Guardians of the Galaxy" of 331 million to become the North American Annual Crown, congratulations to the big cousin again.
