"This is a movie that is not afraid of spoilers, this is a movie that people who love to use their brains!"

"Leonardo and Duke Rosenberg lead the group to inception, aren't you afraid of spoilers and playing with the iQ?"

These are the promotional slogans put forward by "Inception" in the overseas market. They have achieved good results in combination with the film's reputation marketing and viral marketing, which can be seen from the overseas box office of the film.

Inception's first weekend was released overseas on a large scale, and there was almost no suspense that won the weekly box office championship in most of the release areas. Especially when many media mentioned the film, they used "this is a movie used to worship" to make their opening remarks.

"The compact storyline makes people blink, and more than 120 minutes are exciting. By the end of the movie, you will feel that time is fleeting." A French movie fan's words in an interview can be said to reflect the views of most viewers who enter the theater. "You have to stare at the screen, not miss any details and think repeatedly. It feels like watching "The Matrix" and "The Dark Knight", which is a headache but very enjoyable."

In the face of excellent marketing and a huge reputation, the overseas box office statistics of "Inception" have been released one after another.

In China, Inception earned nearly $20 million in three days on weekends, which is also the best three-day box office result in the Chinese film market after Avatar and Transformers.

In other regions, Inception also opened high and closed high in the first week. The UK received more than 16 million US dollars, France received more than 12 million US dollars, Germany closed nearly 15 million US dollars, and Australia scored more than 9 million US dollars...

"Inception" won nearly $185 million in its first week of its overseas screening!

Such box office figures also prove that the marketing strategies developed and adopted by Duke and Warner Bros. are correct, and this word-of-mouth marketing has achieved a preliminary victory.

In North America, "Inception" also maintained a strong enough box office trend as expected by the outside world.

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Los Angelina Jolie had supper and sat on the sofa with a newspaper. Her face was not very good. Occasionally, when she looked up and saw Brad Pitt, her expression became even more gloomy.

Obviously, she was in a bad mood.

The box office of the movie starring did not meet expectations, and her boyfriend went to the premiere of his competitors. No one would be in a good mood.

Under the squeeze of "Inception", her masterpiece "Agent Sauter" this year only received more than $19 million in box office from North America in the first weekend. Although Sony Columbia Pictures subsequently increased its publicity efforts, and many media even praised her as "the strongest action star in the universe", in the face of the controversy and interpretation craze caused by "Inception", "Agent Sauter" has no chance to turn around at all.

Angelina Jolie looked through the Los Angeles Times and soon found the box office news last weekend.

"Duke Rosenberg's masterpiece has achieved two consecutive championships!"

This title made Angelina Jolie feel unhappy, but she still read it patiently.

"The box office of Inception was finally released on the next weekend. The box office of the second weekend was $25.62 million, $24.21 million and $21.61 million respectively, which is still a very healthy and stable Friday, Saturday, Sunday curve, plus the average box office results of $10 million from Thursday to Friday, easily crossing the $200 million mark in 10 days, reaching $229.65 million!"

"One thing that is certain is that Inception will definitely be sold for a long time in this extremely competitive summer season. At present, there is no problem with $250 million. If it reaches $300 million, the box office of this film will exceed the North American box office target set by Duke Rosenberg Warner Bros.."

"Before this, a science fiction/thriller/crime movie that is not a sequel, not a best-selling novel, not a superhero comic, wanted to have a box office of over 100 million in North America in the first week, and finally the box office will exceed 300 million US dollars, which is tantamount to dreams. Now it seems that Inception can easily achieve this result."

"It doesn't matter whether the final North American box office of Inception can exceed $300 million. The biggest value of this movie is that Duke Rosenberg ate the first crab and can also give other later generations confidence as long as the actors are chosen properly, the director is reliable, the script is of high quality, the investment is strong, and the publicity is in place. Such original crime themes with some science fiction flavor can also be sold!"

"I believe that after the success of "Inception", more directors will come up with their long-clogged original stories and turn the investors into a movie. This is also a good thing for movie fans."

"At present, the scores scored by 171,248 viewers of .imdb are still as high as 93 points, and they are firmly ranked second in the top 250. This movie can really surpass "The Godfather" and second only to "The Dark Knight"? This is actually not important. What is important is that through this fanatical score, it can be seen that Duke Rosenberg's signature is not only golden, but also probably has reached the 'diamond' level."

"Duke Rosenberg's diamond sign will inevitably become the first choice for movie fans in a long time to come, and this director is only forty years old! In the next few decades, it is undoubtedly a blessing that Duke, who has a steady filming speed, can continue to bring more good movies to everyone."

"Let's continue to look forward to Duke Rosenberg bringing us the nth surprise in the next movie..."

Thinking about the North American box office of "Inception" that exceeded $70 million on the weekend, and thinking about the box office of "Agent Sauter" she starred in "The Box Office" has dropped to $10 million during the same period, Angelina Jolie's mood has become even more gloomy.

However, her past ten years were extremely difficult and uneasy. Her reckless behavior when she was young made her pay a heavy price for it. Since she woke up several years ago, Angelina Jolie knew very well what she could do, such as continuing her chaotic private life, no one would care about anything; she could not do anything, such as provoking those real heavyweights in the circle...

Angelina Jolie was very upset about "Agent Sauter" losing to "Inception", but she would only hold this feeling in her heart and would not tell anyone, even Brad Pitt who lives under the same roof.

What's more, she never really thought that "Agent Sauter" could surpass "Inception" in the box office.

The other party is Duke Rosenberg!

What the Los Angeles Times said is not without reason, but Angelina Jolie won’t recognize it at all. The success of Inception may allow more directors or screenwriters to produce long-lost original stories, but the downturn in Hollywood original movies will not change because of this, and will only decline more and more. Adaptations are the mainstream in this circle.

This has also been proven by the development of the film industry in the past decade.

Not only the box office, but also the surrounding area of ​​"Inception" is also very popular. For example, the small props used by Leonardo to distinguish between reality and dreams in the film are also very popular.

A small number of commemorative gyros rationed by Warner Bros. were sold for $12 per piece, and were snatched away on the day the film was released.

The commemorative gyros sold on stores and online channels range from $80 to $130, and hundreds of thousands of them were sold in just one week.

In terms of opening up the film derivatives market, Warner Bros. has rich experience, and the popular sales of "Inception" are also due to its huge operation capabilities of the entire industrial chain.

In fact, in today's Hollywood, the revenue of large-scale commercial film derivatives can reach nearly 80% of the total film revenue, which is much higher than the movie box office itself.

Before filming of films such as Duke started filming, Warner Bros. had already made plans for the production and marketing of derivatives to ensure that derivatives can be released simultaneously or even earlier than the time of the movie’s release, and gain enough market space.

Of course, the mature North American film market and a relatively complete copyright protection system are one of the basic conditions for the big sale of movie derivatives.

In the Chinese market, the sales of "Inception" launched by Warner is also good, and the starting price is only 12 yuan rmb. However, compared with the regular shipment of cinemas, imitations can be seen everywhere from the Internet to the small commodity market.

Such news also came to Duke. He was not in a hurry. Any market was constantly improving. The North American market also experienced the same stage in the Chinese market.

Moreover, compared with the other party's treatment of domestic movies, the derivatives of his movies are quite good.

Duke remembers very clearly that when he lived there, after Zhou Xingxing's "Yangtze River Seven" was released, Qizi was very popular, and Qizi's dolls naturally became popular products. At that time, the vendors who sold pirated Qizi even placed street stalls in front of the Zhong Film Group, the film crew of "Yangtze River Seven", which made many film crew staff feel ridiculous and ridiculous...

A good movie will always have some unexpected impacts, and "Inception" is no exception.

After Duke returned to Los Angeles after he ended his European publicity schedule, he saw an interesting news. After observing "Inception", Matthew Vaughan immediately tore his script...

According to many media reports, Matthew Vaughan, the director of "Men: The First War", recently took the time to watch "Inception" and praised him for his favorites, but when he remembered his script, he could not help but say that "the pear is very big."

"Even if there are some creative ideas on the big screen, I think it will look like something that has been copied or changed if I keep it, so I just tore off the 12-page script."

This was his words in an interview, but then he changed the subject, "The new man tells the story of Charles Xavier and Eric Magnas Lescher before becoming professors and Magneto. At that time, they were not irreconcilable opponents, but their closest partners, working together for world peace..."

It is obvious that Twentieth Century Fox is promoting his videos through the craze triggered by Inception.

Not only Twentieth Century Fox, Leonardo's team is also using "Inception" to build momentum for itself. (To be continued.)
