Every year, starting from the public holiday Veterans Day, after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, it constitutes the second largest golden period in the North American film market except for the summer season - the holiday season.

During this period, commercial videos often have more family-friendly atmosphere, and the goals of independent small productions are aimed at awards seasons.

This weekend before Thanksgiving is a prime time for the holiday season.

Although "Alexander the Great" produced and released by Warner Bros. is not suitable for the Thanksgiving atmosphere, it is definitely a giant-level existence compared to other films in the same period.

Universal Pictures' "BJ Birth Diary 2" is a sequel to a big-selling movie and is full of confidence. It held its premiere a week before its release in North America, and it took the lead in more than 2,600 theaters in North America on Wednesday before the weekend, hoping to get the lead.

But the box office of 1.48 million US dollars on the first day of the painting was a blow to Universal Pictures.

Thanksgiving is coming in one week, and "Alexander the Great" and "Museum Night" have also held premieres one after another.

Miramax is more rational. "The Spring of the Cowherd" is a French film after all, with neither premiere nor a premiere, and the scale of opening paintings is less than 400 theaters.

The premiere of Embassy Pictures at Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles welcomed a large number of audiences based on family units.

Various promotions before the screening, plus the content revealed by the trailer, clearly tell all viewers in North America that "Museum Night" is the most suitable movie for the whole family to watch together.

Museums are also attractive subjects.

Many people must have had wonderful ideas when browsing museums: for example, if you get something secretly, regardless of success or failure, will you not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life?

Are some worth a pennant plus 500 yuan in cash?

There are also more reliable ideas.

Will the stationary ancient figures and animal specimens suddenly move out of their fixed position and re-energize the once dry body?

Everyone has time to daydream, such as watching the Victoria's Secret show fantasize about a hundred people killing in a day, and when passing by one portrait, I feel that the eyes in the painting keep moving.

When no one is around, will the museum suddenly come alive?

All this seems impossible, but people are immersed in daydreams, as if they are truly incredible.

It seems that everything in the museum can survive, just like after watching the Victoria's Secret show, I feel that the models will line up in front of me and applaud.

Daydreaming is a dream after all. It is impossible for people to have no worries about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, but it is a spiritual comfort for people.

Movies are precisely the best daydream. In the world of the big screen, nothing is impossible to achieve.

Even if you want to watch Victoria's Secret Angels or superheroes line up to applause, similar plots can be found in the San Fernando Valley films.

Therefore, a movie suitable for the whole family to watch on holidays appeared in the most suitable schedule.

In addition to the movie itself, the male protagonist cannot be ignored.

In this era, Ben Stiller has great appeal in comedy, and many people in the Hollywood industry even wonder why such a handsome shit and peeing male star is so popular?

But the great success of "Meeting the Father-in-law" made Ben Stiller a first-line comedy star.

In "Museum Night", Ben Stiller still performed well.

The characters he starred in are completely in line with a fun plot.

The most colorful movement of this film is the resurrection of the museum's exhibits at night. The audience feels like they have traveled through the tunnel of time and entered a wonderful world that combines history, legends, fairy tales and nature.

In some ways, this is a live version of the museum's Toy Story.

In Hollywood, where homogeneity is becoming increasingly serious, this film undoubtedly has a fresh feeling that it has not surpassed the audience's appreciation.

Although the original book is an illustration story that coaxes children to sleep, the film is funny but not childish.

"Museum Night" has been sought after by family audiences since its premiere, and the attendance rate is extremely considerable. Each family audience is a group, which means that at least two audiences, or even four or five people, are dispatched.

Once the whole family is popular, its power is often amazing.

In the data collected by the Embassy Film Industry, the average score of the live video by family audiences is as high as "a"!

As the awards season is about to begin, a commercial film like "Museum Night" that pleases the audience, especially younger audiences, often means being disliked by another group.

The video's Rotten Tomato Index starts to rot, with a freshness of only 44%.

But this is not the worst of the films that started painting this weekend, nor is it the worst critics critics scolded them.

"Alexander the Great" produced and released by Warner Bros. started painting on a large scale after the premiere. The giant epic film was squinted on the first day. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes was 16% fresh and the average ImDB score was 5.7 points, as well as the live score of Cinema Score Cinema audience D, indicating that this film is neither costly to critics nor disliked by the audience.

Therefore, the first day of "Alexander the Great" was only 5.55 million US dollars.

The critics criticized the situation and the audience disdained it. After the first day of its release, "Alexander the Great" declared a failure.

There is a considerable surprise in the Hollywood industry because it means that an epic film box office tragedy that is even more tragic than "King Arthur".

What's wrong with epic war movies?

Hollywood practitioners with a keen sense of smell gradually realized this.

Even Relativity Entertainment has doubts.

Some people suggested postpone the project "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", but thinking that the film project was promoted by Ronan himself, these suggestions only stayed at the internal meeting of Shahai Entertainment, and were all suppressed by George Clint.

Ronan didn't say much. Zach Schneider's thick ink-colored "The Three Hundred Warriors" should actually be classified as a superhero movie adapted from a comic adapted version.

Leonida's performance in the movie and even the original work is simply a superhero.

In contrast, the orthodox Hollywood epic has performed poorly in recent years. Even "Troy" is far from what Warner Bros. expected.

The audience seems to be tired of epic movies, and the market response is always mediocre regardless of the reputation.

Another film, "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", bought out by Miramax, has a reputation that is far less than that of the market outside North America.

Of course, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 69%, and the average data of imdb is 7.9 points, which is also the best among the videos that were drawn in the same period.

But on the contrary, the box office data of "The Spring of the Cattle Grazing Class" is the worst.

This is a French movie after all.

The box office of more than 300 theaters in North America lasted $430,000, has made this French comedy's road to making a long return.

If you don't gain anything at the Oscars, Miramax is most likely to lose a lot.

When purchasing overseas films, you should be very cautious. The facts have proved time and time again that except for extremely low-profile cases, if you get a foreign language film from overseas to North America, the chance of failing is infinitely close to 100%.

Therefore, except for a few foreign language films with clearer memory, Ronan did not even touch Ang Lee's famous works.

Similarly, the market response of "BJ Single Diary 2" which is more like a British movie is not very good in North America. It only earned 3.07 million US dollars on the first day of the painting weekend.

However, the biggest market for this film is in the UK, not North America.

If you only look for the North American market, Universal Pictures cannot even recover the production costs.

The first film, which had a box office of over 70 million US dollars in North America, was as high as 210.38 million US dollars in overseas box office, led by the UK and Western Europe.

"Museum Night", which is most suitable for Thanksgiving, became the biggest winner on the first day of the weekend.

Among 4,215 theaters, the film earned $15.12 million in a single day.

On the second day, "Museum Night" still topped the list, with a box office of $15.88 million steadily rising.

Although the media and critics have a bad reputation, with the support of the family audience, the film emerged from the competition this weekend before Thanksgiving, and finally stood proudly at the top of the list.

In the first three days of North America's first weekend, "Museum Night" earned $39.81 million, firmly occupying the first place in the box office list.

"National Treasure", which entered the third week, successfully stole the limelight from other new films with a revenue of US$17.04 million and became the second in the box office list.

The third place is "Alexander the Great", but the weekend box office is only $12.11 million, while the production cost of the film is as high as $155 million.

Investors are destined to lose all their money, which is an epic disaster that is even more painful than "King Arthur".

Some small investors may go bankrupt due to this project.

"BJ Single Diary 2" has not performed well in North America, but it is not bad either. The box office of $10.73 million is basically in line with the expectations of the film company.

Miramax's "Spring of the Cowherd" has limited distribution scale, regardless of attendance, and the box office of a single museum is average, and it has not entered the top ten in the box office list at all. The box office continues to plummet in the two days after the weekend, and North America earned only $720,000 in the first weekend.

This French film entered French theaters as early as August. Not only did it explode, but the market also exploded. France's first week's box office revenue reached nearly 6 million US dollars, and the current total box office in France has exceeded 45 million US dollars.

Its overseas box office revenue has reached nearly US$70 million.

But North America is such a weird market.

It is probably related to the mentality of Americans. They only see the United States and do not pay much attention to overseas situations.

This may also continue to the film and media industry.

"Museum Night" has undoubtedly become a big winner for the time being.

With the arrival of Thanksgiving Holiday, the popularity of "Museum Night" has continued to increase. After three short working days, the film's single-day income in North America has remained at around $15 million.
