The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

It has to be said that the most fundamental factor for "Demacia: Glory" to achieve excellent box office results is that the quality of the film itself is sufficient to pass the test.

Without this great foundation, no matter how good the IP adaptation is or how powerful the announcement is, it is easy for the movie to become a dog.

Now, many so-called box office miracles are based on the fact that the quality of the movie itself is good enough. Like in the past, it is becoming more and more difficult to see projects that rely purely on publicity and distribution, with poor movies and can still be sold well-the audience is becoming more and more mature, and it is becoming less and less easy to fool.

"Demacia: Glory"'s first weekend box office in North America was not particularly good. Although it has stepped into the ranks of successful movies, it is not like in China, which directly caused a major earthquake in the entire industry.

However, starting from the second week, its power began to be gradually revealed-the box office fell slightly, but not by much.

Many audiences did not go to the cinema to watch the movie at the first time, but it does not mean that they have no expectations for the movie. Many people choose to wait and see.

With more and more publicity about League of Legends and a relatively stable word-of-mouth, a large number of viewers who had previously chosen to wait and see entered the cinema one after another.

Among the people who are conquered by the movie, some will go to the second brush, and some will recommend this movie to their friends on their social media accounts...

And these have kept the North American box office of "Demacia: Glory" high in the subsequent trend.

By the third week, the North American box office had exceeded 200 million US dollars.

According to the results of negotiations between Dimension North America and the corresponding distribution companies and theaters, the screening time of this movie will last for two months.

If the situation is a little more optimistic, it is not impossible for the total box office in North America to hit 300 million.

This result is incomparable to "Glory"'s expected box office of 850 million US dollars in mainland China. Moreover, it is not comparable to some high-grossing films produced in Hollywood - such as "Black Panther 2".

The main market of "Black Panther 2" is still in North America. The treatment between the two is like being transferred from mainland China.

The old blacks of this movie supported it desperately. The North American box office of the first film exceeded 700 million U.S. dollars. Although "Black Panther 2" is slightly lower, the final box office will not be less than 600 million U.S. dollars—equivalent to two times the gap.

But if you want to calculate the total global box office, "Black Panther 2" may still be inferior to "Demacia: Glory".

Just combining the Chinese box office and the North American box office, "Glory" can earn nearly 1.2 billion US dollars. As for the box office in other parts of the world, the global box office of "Demacia: Glory" has reached more than 1.5 billion US dollars.

This is comparable to The Avengers.

Of course, the reason why this is possible is that the domestic box office in mainland China is extremely strong, and that must be the most important reason.

In the future, if you put the time back a little longer, "Glory" may not have the possibility to hit the $2 billion mark, but at least it has a chance to hit the $1.7 billion mark.

If it can be completed, it will knock out Jurassic World into the top five and enter the fifth place in the global grossing chart. The movies on it are all famous - "Avatar", "Titanic", "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", "Avengers 3", just these four.

There is no doubt that "Demacia: Glory" has made a very brilliant start for the League of Legends series of movies.

Needless to say, in the future, the League of Legends movie series will become one of the most valuable movie series in the world. Even if the following films can't reach the achievement of "Glory", just like Marvel's superheroes, as long as there is a certain quality assurance, then the film will basically not rush, at best, it is a matter of how much money it makes.

...

Sitting at home, Chris Evans couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw the relevant box office reports: Now, who dares to say that he is a superhero superstar? !

Speaking of which, the total box office results of the movies he played in—especially commercial movies—seem to be quite good.

The role of "Captain America" ​​has made him a household name all over the world.

Three "Captain America" ​​films, four "Avengers" films... If any star can achieve such a consecutive box office performance in a movie starring in a few years, then he will definitely enter the ranks of first-line superstars.

But the success is also the US team, and the defeat is also the US team.

He's in a superhero movie.

No matter how well-known it is, people only know Steven Rogers, not Chris Evans. It was as if he was useless without the role of 'Captain America'.

In a sense, it is.

There is a big difference between the superstars who became famous from the superhero series and the so-called real superstars like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks. Even Robert Downey Jr. and John Depp are not real superstars.

Indeed, when actors like Downey or Depp play their most famous roles, 'Iron Man' and 'Captain Jack', they will receive a huge amount of remuneration that will surprise the outside world. But leaving these roles, it is difficult to get a matching price.

But even so, Downey and Depp are far better actors than Evans.

Evans seems to be famous all over the world as the "Captain America", but the salary he can get is far from that much.

There is an agreement. When he filmed "Reunion 1", his salary was only a few hundred thousand dollars, and it gradually increased later, but under the constraints of the sequel clause, it can't be too much higher, at least not as high as Tang It's scary to get tens of millions of dollars in remuneration for a reunion movie.

It was also for this reason that he was attracted by Dimension Entertainment's tens of millions of film remuneration and went to China to make a film.

However, it was precisely because of this that Chris Evans was able to obtain such a good fortune.

He is not satisfied with just being a superhero superstar, and the great success of "Glory" has given him the capital to transform.

He can now monopolize two of the top five films at the box office in global film history.

"Avengers 3" plays the US team and is one of the leading actors; "Glory" plays Galen and is also one of the leading actors.

Being able to achieve such a high score through two different roles and two different series is obviously of great help to him on the road to true super giants in the future.

Among other things, now as long as he takes commercials, no one can send him away for a few million dollars. He has already proved in "Demacia: Glory" that after leaving the role of "Captain America", he is still capable of carrying the box office banner of top commercial productions!
