In recent years, there have been many popular big IP adaptations of movies in the film industry, but most of them are full of expectations before the screening, and after the launch of the works, they have encountered box office and word-of-mouth. For example, "Warcraft" is the most typical example, which not only has a huge investment but also a large base of game fans, but the result is that the box office still disappoints the filmmakers, and the film eventually loses a small amount. However, this movie is very popular in the mainland, and the domestic audience is indeed different, whether it is good or not, it is still necessary to buy it for the sake of feelings.
Warcraft is directed by Duncan Jones and starring Travis Faimir, Paula Barton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, and Yanzu Wu. Based on the warcraft: Humans and Orcs game, the film is set against the backdrop of a conflict between the Human Alliance and the Orc Tribe, telling the story of the two worlds' races fighting for their own survival and homeland after the Dark Gate opens.
"Warcraft" made into a movie is the common desire of many netizens around the world, but after the movie came out, the box office in North America was completely swept away, which led to the loss of the film. The film invested as much as $160 million, and it had to collect $480 million to save the capital according to the triple box office return, but the film only received more than 400 million yuan in the end, which was much lower than the filmmakers' expectations. The cold box office of this film in the mainland market is mainly due to word-of-mouth, and the comprehensive collapse of the European and American markets has no reason to lose money, and the domestic box office is difficult to support after all.
The global reach of Warcraft is beyond doubt, but American audiences just don't buy it, and the box office after the film was released was dismal, and it only received $47.36 million in the end. The first weekend of painting 24.16 million US dollars, and the subsequent period of time only received 23.19 million yuan, such a performance can be called "box office poison" level. The film is completely dependent on overseas markets to collect 390 million US dollars to support the façade, and the mainland market accounts for 213 million US dollars, to tell the truth, this blockbuster film side has no temper at all.
"Warcraft" can not be sold as a blockbuster North American base camp, what do you think about this? Xiaobian thinks that the main word of mouth is too bad, Rotten Tomatoes media people 28% freshness, this score of a big bad film, netizens are still friendly point popcorn 76%, after all, there are feelings in it. The North American box office is less than $50 million, but if the box office is raised a little, the filmmaker will not lose money, and now the global box office only receives $439 million, and investors have lost a lot of money, because the overseas box office is low, and its other revenue is average.
"Warcraft" exploded at the domestic box office and did not help it turn a profit, Hollywood filmmakers were helpless, the first day of 250 million, the first weekend of 5 days to bomb 1.028 billion, and finally the mainland sold 1.468 billion yuan. At that time, the box office market capacity was not as large as it is now, and it was very popular to produce this box office, ranking third in the year, only behind "Zootopia" 1.527 billion and "Mermaid" 3.397 billion. A blockbuster blockbuster that has attracted the attention of global game fans, and as a result, almost all the streets except the mainland market have been dudded.
Although the reputation of "Warcraft" in the mainland has also been polarized, it is generally OK, Douban 7.7 points, and the audience still buys it with feelings. It's just that foreigners are more realistic, no matter if you don't feel emotional, the film is not good to buy, overseas audiences are barely OK, mainly the United States side of the upside down this blockbuster. Investing 160 million US dollars, North America only received 47.36 million US dollars, this achievement can not be said in any way, it is no wonder that the film chamber is depressed and disappointed.
The mainland box office sold 1.468 billion yuan can not "save" it, "Warcraft" into a movie can not sell, why are North American audiences so picky? Such a grand IP box office confiscation of more than 800 million is a failure, did not expect the reality to be more cruel even 500 million US dollars. Although this movie is at a loss, it is finally a consummation for fans, and as for whether the movie is good or not, it depends on personal taste. Do you remember this blockbuster?
