The gyro was spinning constantly, and the open ending left enough suspense and gave the audience plenty of room for discussion.

Christopher Nolan is a director with strong commercial attributes. Unlike his favorite Michael Bay, he knows better how to touch the heartstrings of the audience while maintaining a high profile.

In terms of business and text contributions, "Inception" is definitely a rare good film in recent years.

The premiere ended and the audience stepped out of the Nokia Theater one after another.

"What kind of movie is Inception?"

A considerable number of viewers walked out of the North American premiere of "Inception" with an incredible expression.

Some people have confused words on their faces, some have thought about the plot of the movie, some are exchanging opinions from each other, and some seem to have just had a big explosion in their minds, and the aftermath is still unfinished, and the excitement and surprise have not faded.

Some people feel happy. This kind of refreshment is not a sensory stimulation created by cold electronic words such as cgi, imax, and 3d.

It won’t take long, countless people, countless posts, and countless sleepless nights, just to analyze and discuss the movie frame by frame.

With a complete publicity plan, excellent distribution strategy, the appeal of the director to the actor himself, and the quality-perfect movie itself, "Inception" undoubtedly has most of the potential for a big-selling movie.

On the first day of North America's release, this science fiction movie received $26.78 million in 4,221 theaters, easily surpassing 20th Century Fox's "Max Payne" and becoming the box office champion of the day.

"Inception" won a lot of praise, and most people believe that it will be the most important work this year.

In the word-of-mouth marketing of Embassy Films, "Inception" was the first to complete its transformation through the Internet and became a masterpiece in the mouths of some viewers.

Even if it is really a magical work, you have to blow hard. If you don’t blow, who knows who you are? Who will take a look at it again?

The film industry has developed to this day, and there have been many masterpieces, but there are also more masterpieces. There are more people who blow on it, and they have become God, either God.

The open ending of "Inception" leaves the audience with unlimited imagination and unlimited interpretation space.

The film was finally "founded" successfully. Six people from the Dream Inception team woke up on the plane. Saito also fulfilled his promise and called to relieve the protagonist's lawsuit in the United States, so that the protagonist could enter the country smoothly. The protagonist was finally able to go home and see his two children. When the protagonist turned the gyro that could distinguish between dreams and reality, the film stopped. The director did not explain whether the gyro was turned or stopped on the table.

As the part with the most room for discussion, is the protagonist Cobb returning to reality or living in a dream?

In order to prove their own views, audiences with different interpretations went to the theater to re-watch "Inception" to find more evidence supporting their views.

What a movie is afraid of is never controversy, but that there is no controversy. The more controversial the topic, the more popular it is in the market. Only controversy can bring enough attention.

Just three days after its release, the interpretation boom triggered by "Inception" has become one of the most concerned public opinion topics in North American media and the public.

Therefore, North America has started painting weekend. Although this film did not break the phenomenon that the original non-sequel movie could not exceed 100 million in the first week, the box office of 78.99 million US dollars can still guarantee to top the North American box office championship.

This number doesn't seem very high, and it's already very rare for an original type of commercial film.

In recent years, except for "Avatar", no original non-sequel live-action movie has achieved such a high box office opening.

Controversy and excellent audience reputation made Inception the hottest movie in North America in October, and the trend was extremely stable. The box office fell by less than 40% the next weekend, closing at $49.22 million.

Adding the income from the previous four working days, the box office of Inception in North America exceeded $150 million in just two weekends.

The hot performance of North America has also spread to the international market through the accelerated speed of information transmission, and was immediately released in many overseas countries and regions.

With the invitation of China Film Group and the efforts of the Oriental Branch of Relativity Entertainment, in late October, Christopher Nolan led the main creative team of "Inception" including Tom Cruise to cross the endless Pacific Ocean to go to Oriental for a special premiere.

Although "The Dark Knight" failed to pass the review of the big scissors due to various reasons including anarchism and was ultimately not released in the Eastern market, the developed Internet and the pirated versions everywhere still made Christopher Nolan famous here, especially on the movie rating websites that mainly focus on beans, which have gained countless brainless fans.

Tom Cruise's appeal here is also amazing, it is a bowl of delicious soup that has been cooked in the Oriental Market for twenty years.

Relativity Entertainment has already had many crews here to hold their premiere, and the Shimao contract between the two parties is about to expire. Among the re-signed terms about film, the share ratio of Hollywood movies has almost doubled.

Twenty-five percent does not seem to be a lot, but it eliminates the net income of China Film and Television or other imported companies, including the promotional and issuance fees, taxes and various fund fees that must be paid.

In other overseas markets, after removing various costs, Hollywood companies will not get more than these, and some markets are even smaller.

What can attract Hollywood companies such as Relativity Entertainment is naturally the increasingly prosperous film market in the East.

Since the release of "Transformers", the Eastern film market began to grow rapidly like the height of a teenager in his development period.

As "Avatar" set an unprecedented box office record in the Oriental film market, the speed of theater construction here has soared, and the number of screens increased in the past two months has exceeded the total of last year.

The release of "Avatar" is like "Titanic" back then, and is the first sign of the Oriental film market, which means that the film and theater industries here have officially entered the fast lane of development.

Correspondingly, Hollywood blockbusters can make more and more money in the Oriental film market.

Under this stimulation, Hollywood has been working harder in the Eastern market and has more and more marketing demands. The old routines in the past - looking for media to publish, Chinese trailers and posters, and buying some bus stops can no longer meet the market demand.

So, Hollywood crews began to come to Oriental for premiere.

The Oriental Film Market is different from other single overseas markets in Hollywood, and its future size is too large.

No one knows this better than Ronan, so the first-line blockbusters in Relativity Entertainment will strive to enter the Oriental film market unless they are irresistible factors such as big scissors.

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

In the Oriental film market, "Inception" earned nearly $12 million in three days on weekends, which is also the best three-day box office result in the Oriental film market after "Avatar" and "Transformers".

In other regions, Inception also opened high and closed high in the first week, with the UK receiving US$14.52 million, France receiving more than 12 million, Germany receiving nearly 15 million, and Australia capped more than 9 million...

"Inception" won nearly $155 million in its first week of its overseas screening!

The situation has become extremely obvious. After becoming a god through "The Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan created another "super masterpiece" in the eyes of fans.

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

The commemorative version of the top of the Relativity Entertainment rationed cinema is sold for $12 per piece, and was 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 two weeks.

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

Christopher Nolan is at the peak of his directorial career, and his works have reached a certain level in both commercial and other aspects.

Of course, film companies will like such directors.

After returning from the premiere from Oriental, Christopher Nolan submitted scripts and plans for the future new work to Shahai Entertainment. Shahai Entertainment attached great importance to the British director and immediately transferred it to Ronan.

This is a space science fiction film, and it also tends to be a hard science fiction genre. The project is directed by Christopher Nolan in the future. The script is completed by his younger brother Jonathan Nolan. It mainly tells the story of a team of explorers using their new discoveries against wormholes to surpass humans' limits of space travel and thus begin to sail interstellar in the vast universe.

The name of the script, Ronan, is familiar to you - "Interstellar".

The earliest creativity of the Nolan brothers came from the physicist Kip Thorne of California Institute of Technology, in the words of Christopher Nolan: "Kip Thorne has done a lot of amazing research and work on the potential possibilities of theoretical wormholes and time travel."

As early as last year, Christopher Nolan mentioned this project to Ronan, because the script has always been the first draft, Ronan was not in a hurry.

During this period, Spielberg once lobbyed the Nolan brothers, but the Nolan brothers had already signed a long contract with Relativity Entertainment and rejected the olive branch thrown by DreamWorks.

"Inception" will be a space blockbuster, with a production budget that will not be less than $160 million.

Tom Cruise has received relevant news from Christopher Nolan and is willing to play the leading actor.

In addition to the Mission: Impossible series, Tom Cruise is also developing other territory.
