Hollywood's superheroes have been crazy this year.
As Hollywood's money-making machine for ten years, Hollywood has indeed made a lot of money for it, but in 2022, they are like competitions, one is worse than the other.
It's not as good as "The Flash"!Marvel's side is no exception!
"The Flash," released in June, was once considered to have a place on the "superhero loss charts".
In the case that Ezra Miller could not be saved, the box office of 200 million US dollars hit a record low, and in the end there was only 270 million US dollars at the box office, and then counting the publicity costs, the ** in North America estimated that the film would lose at least 200 million US dollars.
This is the biggest tragedy of Warner Pictures in nearly 100 years.
However, the DC world is not very good, and Marvel's "Captain Marvel 2" surprised everyone.
This is a huge film worth 270 million, Marvel invited some minority and black heroines to cooperate with "Captain Fantastic" to produce three heroines, plus the entire crew is pure black, it can be said to be a perfect film.
Marvel believes that people all over the world will pay for ZZQ.
It's not as good as "The Flash"!The total sales of "Captain Marvel 2" in the world are only 190 million, while the sales of Chinese mainland abroad are only 15 million US dollars, and the sales in North America are only 80 million US dollars, and it is almost impossible to exceed 200 million US dollars.
Obviously, "Captain Marvel 2" is the worst of all time, surpassing "The Flash".
However, this "feast" has not yet passed, followed by the arrival of "Aquaman 2".
In anticipation of China and the United States, "Aquaman 2" has not yet premiered in North America, and it has encountered Waterloo.
The box office of China and the United States is actually not as good as imagined.
The total box office in Chinese mainland has just broken through the 50 billion mark, mainly because of the failure of Hollywood movies in the mainland, "Fast and Furious 10" sales in China are not even 1 billion, Wu Jing starring "Megalodon 2" failed to break the 90 million mark, plus Marvel's successive failures.
Everyone is pinning their hopes on "Aquaman 2" to save Hollywood, which is in decline.
"Aquaman 2" is the hottest year in North America this year, and it is also the hottest year in North America, with a box office of one billion dollars every year, even under the impact of masks, movies such as "Avatar: The Way of Water", "Spider-Man: No Way Home", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and other movies once saved the decline of North American theaters.
However, "Aquaman 2" is the only movie to be released on Christmas, and if this movie fails, then Christmas in North America is over.
But it is clear that "Aquaman 2" does not end there, and may even surpass "Captain Marvel 2" and become the biggest tragedy in film history.
According to the data of major ticketing platforms in North America, the pre-screening results of "Aquaman 2" are not good, nearly 70% worse than "Black Adam"!The total box office of "Black Adam" reached 3At $9.3 billion, based on the current situation, the total sales of the North American premiere week should be above $30 million, compared to the total box office of "Aquaman" is only $67.87 million.
If there is no word of mouth, then the sales of "Aquaman 2" in North America are likely to exceed 100 million!
In this context, the development of Chinese mainland has become a crucial factor.
115 minutes, no clipping, cost 15300 million US dollars, can the Chinese become the savior of "Aquaman 2"?
Aquaman achieved so much in 2018 thanks in large part to the Chinese audience.
North America is ranked at 3With a result of 3.5 billion US dollars, the box office in Chinese mainland exceeded 28.2 billion, not much difference with North America, the two combined, reached 61.7 billion US dollars, accounting for half of "Aquaman".
Therefore, since the box office performance in North America is not good, the film company has obviously made a lot of effort to achieve such good results in Chinese mainland.
The release time in Chinese mainland is December 20, two days away from December 22 in North America, and because the scale of "Aquaman 2" is relatively large, many fans are worried that the Chinese version will be cut, but with their joint efforts, the Chinese version of "Aquaman 2" has not been edited for 115 minutes!
In addition, "Aquaman 2" also announced the filming team of the Chinese crew.
Yes, Hollywood movies have begun to be released in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, there are big names such as Jason Momoa and Wen Ziren released in Chinese mainland, which is rare in China, it can be seen the importance of "Aquaman 2" to Chinese mainland.
Aquaman 2 cost $215 million, which is equivalent to RMB153。
If Aquaman 2 can create another domestic myth, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the box office of the film, after all, Chinese are their saviors, so will the quality of "Aquaman 2" not keep up?
"Aquaman 2" has always been a big problem, from the first "Batman" to the third "Batman", to "Batman", everyone is full of hope for this movie, but this DC world has been postponed, and "Aquaman 2" has lost the need to continue filming, and the heroine of "Aquaman" Amber Hurd also lost the lawsuit because of this incident, which should have been the biggest attraction of "Aquaman", but now, "Aquaman 2" has been cut.
It can be seen from the promotional video that "Aquaman 2" is two people together, and the quality of the film is very worrying!
In such an environment, it is a question whether the Chinese can accept this **.
