Hello everyone, I'm Little Plum and welcome to this week's North American movie box office charts, which cover October 22-24. This week, the North American film market is still too high, with a total of 3 new films on the list, the sci-fi giant "Dune 2021" topped with a strong score of $41 million, which greatly exceeded the industry's expectations of about 30 million, while the animated film "Heavenly Opportunity" only earned 7.3 million, ranking 5th, the comedy film "French Pie" small-scale on-demand, earning 1.34 million, only ranked 9th, and other films fell to varying degrees. For details, please see the following list.
First, the list is detailed
At number one this week is the sci-fi masterpiece Dune 2021, which has been released in 4125 theaters and grossed $41 million. The result of 41 million at first glance seems nothing remarkable, to know that the premiere of the big bad movie "Venom 2" is 90 million, but "Dune" is broadcast simultaneously in the streaming media, and it is free, Warner HBO Max platform has about 70 million users worldwide, so this income is often good. The 41 million result significantly exceeded the industry's expectation of about 30 million, and also created Warner's best premiere of the year, followed by the 31.62 million of Godzilla vs. King Kong. The film is absolutely luxurious from the configuration point of view, with an investment of 165 million US dollars, and also invited a number of big names to join, such as "Sweet Tea" Timothy Chalame, "Spy Girl" Rebecca Ferguson, "Spider-Man Girlfriend" Zandaya Coleman, "Destroyer" Dave Battista, and "Aquaman" Jason Momma, Chinese actor Zhang Zhen also participated, and the director of the film is Dennis Villeneuve, who has directed "Blade Runner 2049", so the quality of the film is absolutely guaranteed, and the Rotten Tomatoes index of the film is as high as 83%. , a number of media hit the praise. Although the film sold well in North America, but in China it was cold, the first week of release only earned 140 million yuan, the table reality is general, the audience general reaction can not understand, to put it bluntly I did not understand, this 155 minutes of long film if you have not seen the original novel, it is estimated that it is really difficult to digest, and the whole film is relatively flat, there is no such fight very high scene, I really do not know how this thing sells so much money in North America. The film currently grosses 180 million overseas.
The second place was last week's champion Halloween: The Killing, earning 14.45 million in three days, plunging 70.8% to a total of 73.05 million. The film fell so much, but also expected, after all, the reputation is sparse, now there are high-definition versions on the Internet, but it is not recommended to watch, because it is too bad, it is really ruined classics. The film currently grosses 17.51 million overseas.
The third place is "007: No Time to Die", with a three-day revenue of 12.2 million, down 48.7%, accumulating 120 million. The film currently has a global box office of 525 million US dollars, of which 007's hometown of the United Kingdom contributed 94 million, Germany contributed 46 million, "No Time to Die" will land in Chinese theaters on October 29, that is, this Friday, which is the world's last box office warehouse, want to see the pot friends to prepare the banknotes.
Fourth place was "Venom 2," which made $9.3 million over three days over the weekend, down 43.6 percent and accumulating $182 million. The film currently grosses 170 million overseas, with Russia contributing the most 29 million, and the Chinese region is still unscheduled.
Fifth place was the animated film "A Godsend", which earned $7.3 million in three days and lost his pants. This film was produced by 20th Century Studios owned by 20th Century Pictures, which was the famous Blue Sky Studio under the former 20th Century Fox, and after 20th Century Fox was acquired by Disney, Blue Sky changed its name to 20th Century Studios. After the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, bad films continue, in recent years, only one "Runaway Player" has made money, and the others have all lost their pants, this time the "Gifted Opportunity" continues the tradition of the factory's huge loss, 7.3 million box office together with the animated film "Adams Family 2" has not been done, according to the current trend, the film may eventually settle at 18 million, "Heavenly Opportunity" has not announced the production cost, personal estimates are about 30 million, if you want to return the cost, you can only rely on the overseas market. The film currently grosses 10 million overseas.
Sixth place was Adams 2, which earned $4.49 million over three days over the weekend, down 36.4 percent and accumulating $48.47 million. The film currently grosses 26.96 million overseas.
Seventh place was "The Final Duel", which earned $2.06 million in three days, down 56.6%, accumulating 8.53 million, and also lost pants. The film, like "Heavenly Opportunity", is produced by 20th Century Pictures, and its investment is said to be as high as 100 million US dollars, and it is impossible to return the money, and this year's 20th Century Film Industry is not having a good time. The film currently grosses 9.2 million overseas.
The eighth place was "Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Commandments", which earned $2.01 million in three days, down 39.2% and accumulated 220 million. The film currently grosses 196 million overseas.
In ninth place was the comedy film "France", which earned $1.34 million over three days over the weekend. The film's box office of 1.34 million seems to be useless, but its number of theaters is only 52, which is the lowest in the list, and even the last "Honsla Rakh" is more than it, but the film's single-museum performance is the best, as high as 25938 US dollars, ranking all the films this year south Bovan. It is estimated that no one expected a comedy film to get such a good result, but also an R-rated comedy, the film's good results and its reputation are inseparable, many media have received praise, especially the Metacritic score is as high as 75, if the searchlight film industry can add some more theaters in the future, the film is still very promising. The film is not currently released overseas.
The tenth place was the Indian comedy film Honsla Rakh, which earned 490,000 yuan in three days, down 30.6%, accumulating 1.8 million. The film currently grosses 403,000 overseas.
