During the lively awards season, “Black Swan” made its debut in the first week of December, and finally won 88 points in the media comprehensive review and 86% affirmation on Rotten Tomatoes. It can be said that It has been unanimously sought after by the mainstream media. Natalie Portman’s excellent performance has captured the hearts of most film critics, and the media that think Evan Bell is enough to rank among the “masters” sing for this movie. hymn.

Even though the number of viewers who commented on IMDB was not large because the movie was screened, the real-time rating of the work still reached a high score of 8.4, which is very impressive!

“Strength and passion coexist, glory and darkness coexist”, “Imagination extends the wings of reality, and the absurdity of dreams is full of silent fear”, “Under the seemingly flat surface, there is a violent element. At the core, this kind of violence not only stays at the emotional level, but also the flesh!”, “After a seemingly peaceful prologue, it is a plot that plunges into madness at a rapid rate, and what is blatantly, even so, the film It still maintains a dignified rhythm like a ballet step”, “a jar of wine fermented by cunning and madness”, “contains the distortion of ‘Shutter Island’ and swallows the overlap of ‘Inception’, this is the ‘Black Swan’ ‘”, “Like most terrifying nightmares, the ‘black swan’ almost takes you into the dark before you’re ready”…

At the same time, Natalie Portman’s performance in the film also won unanimous praise, “There is no doubt that Natalie is in this dance psychological thriller, twirling light dance steps to the Oscar podium “.

Similarly, Evan Bell’s director has also received similar affirmation. “After ‘Inception’, Evan has swept the literary film market again, and his amazing directorial talent is enough to overshadow all rhetoric.”

If it was such a highly dark, extremely independent, and full of personality work five years ago, it would have been almost impossible to win a place in awards season, but now the times are different. “Black Swan” is a ballet with high art. The carrier, along with the split-personality work, paired with a nightmarish soundtrack and a swan lake-esque classical tragedy, is no wonder critics love it.

Although “Black Swan” itself has nothing to do with the box office, let alone only a small range of screenings in 18 theaters, the entire North American box office list in the first week of December is too sluggish, making People have to focus on the “Black Swan” at the box office.

This week’s North American box office champion is Disney’s three-dimensional computer animation “Enchanted”. This work with an investment of 260 million was released last week. Although it won the championship this week, it was only 21 million this week. The U.S. dollar box office narrowly beat “Harry Potter and the Death Holy Grail (Part 1 for the second consecutive week, and the cumulative box office in two weeks was only 96 million. The loss is already a certainty. It seems that it is more reliable to rely on lighting entertainment for Disney’s animation to revive.

The runner-up “Harry Potter and the Death Holy Grail (Part 1 is not much better. The cumulative box office of 245 million in three weeks of release is still very good, but there is still a period to cross the threshold of 300 million. Not a small distance, the weekend box office in the third week of its release dropped by 65%, and it only won 17 million, which is really unhappy.

In comparison, “127 Hours”, released on the 11th issue, continued to be screened in 430 theaters in the fifth week of its release, and achieved a box office of 3,700 US dollars in a single venue, which is eye-catching. Bright.

Of course, the biggest highlight of this week is the “Black Swan” from Evan Bell, Natalie Portman and Meryl Streep. This work will be performed in 18 theaters. It achieved very close results with the single-hall box office of “In the Cloud” which was released in the same period last year, but the single-hall box office of “Black Swan” was still $2,000 more than that of “In the Cloud”. It also made the single-hall box office charts of Evan Bell’s personal works into “Brokeback Mountain”, “Adapted Screenplay”, “Juno”, “Black Swan” and “In the Clouds”.

To put it simply in one sentence, the historical ranking of the single-house box office has become the duo of Disney and Evan Bell. In the historical ranking of the live-action film single-house box office, the top ten are almost all brushed by Evan Bell. Screening the first five works plus “Blood is Coming” and “Survival in the Wilderness”, the top ten Evan Bell alone occupies seven positions. This kind of dominance is indeed unparalleled.

As a result, “Black Swan” earned $1.6 million at the weekend box office in the first week of December, occupying the thirteenth spot on this week’s North American box office charts, just shy of “” 127 Hours”, the performance is very good.

The following week, the release of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” and “The Deadly Companion,” the former adaptation of Disney’s ambitious “Harry Potter” series, became the biggest hits at the box office. Although the work has not been able to become a money-sucking machine, it is still not to be underestimated; the latter is a work starring Angelina Jolie and John DeNip, and the director is relying on “Eavesdropping Storm” The world-famous Flo Ryan Henkel-von Donnersma.

But disappointingly, the box office of both works fell short of expectations. The 155 million “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” opened its opening weekend at only 24 million, while the paper The “Deadly Companion”, which cost as much as $100 million, only got the premiere data of $16 million. Although it occupied the first and second place in the North American box office charts in the second week of December, it was difficult to make it. people are satisfied.

Relatively speaking, “Black Swan”, which was further expanded in 100 theaters, performed even better. The box office data of US$50,000 in a single hall allowed this work to get 5 million in the weekend of its second week of release. The US dollar box office soared directly to the fifth place on the North American list. In front of it is “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Part 1. Such an excellent box office record is really unexpected. Yes, this can also be considered as another demonstration of the “Bell-style miracle”.

The eleventh issue is now very sophisticated. After accurately grasping the pulse of the market, it is found that the box office potential of “Black Swan” far exceeds expectations, and the audience’s pursuit of this work has also exceeded predictions, so the eleventh issue was released in the third week. The “Black Swan” was fully screened in a thousand theaters across the United States, which also means that “Black Swan” has left the screening stage and has been fully screened.

The full release is a real test of the box office potential of “Black Swan”, and the box office figures also mark that “Black Swan” has withstood the test, with a single-house box office of 11,000 US dollars and a third weekend box office of 11 million US dollars. , still ranked fifth on the North American box office list, but the fourth-ranked work was replaced by “The Fighter”, which was released on a large scale in 2,500 theaters.

The outstanding performance of the market has made the eleventh issue more and more confident. In the fourth week of December, “Black Swan” was released in 1,500 theaters. The single theater still handed over 8,000 US dollars, and the weekend was 1,200. Wan’s box office data made “Black Swan” rise one place on the box office chart to fourth place.

It can be seen from the single-hall box office results of the large-scale release that “Black Swan” has received unanimous praise from the audience, and because the details of the film are worthy of many tastes, they are willing to return to the cinema for the second and third times. The audience is also very large, and the cumulative box office of “Black Swan” has reached 45 million US dollars in four weeks of release.

“Black Swan”, which only invested 13 million US dollars, has achieved such excellent box office data in four weeks of release, which also continues Evan Bell’s undefeated record, and Evan Bell director The tradition of high-quality works has also become more and more solid.

The so-called box office appeal is the trust accumulated in such works one after another. The audience is willing to believe in Evan Bell’s vision for selecting works, and every time Evan Bell has not disappointed the audience, so This makes independent dark films like “Black Swan” still shine at the box office.

After that, the expansion of “Black Swan” has never stopped, reaching its peak in the third week of January, showing a total of 2,500 theaters, and staying at this peak for three full weeks , from which you can see the enthusiastic reaction of the audience.

And the excellent reputation of the movie also undoubtedly makes “Black Swan” have a deeper and durable driving force at the box office. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com was released in the eighth week of its release, which is the third week of January, with the expansion of the theater. The highest peak of the line, “Black Swan” also relied on the weekend box office of 8 million US dollars, so that the cumulative box office of the movie officially crossed the 100 million threshold!

Subsequently, “Black Swan” continued to make persistent efforts in the North American market, and finally fixed its North American box office at the position of 130 million US dollars, which is definitely a big victory!

But what is even more surprising is that the performance of “Black Swan” in overseas markets is truly outstanding. After being released in 58 countries and regions around the world, it has won the championship in 13 countries and regions in total, and has won the championship in two countries and regions. The place completed the reelection. The box office of “Black Swan” in the United Kingdom, South Korea, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Germany, France, and Australia has all crossed the threshold of 10 million. Among them, Japan, which won the overseas box office champion, contributed 30 million US dollars. Data, which also made the overseas box office data of “Black Swan” finally reach 290 million US dollars, which is really incredible.

Such box office figures are not expected by anyone, whether it is an investment of 13 million US dollars or a psychological thriller theme. of art films, there is no such sign.
