There are nearly a hundred nominations, and more than 70 awards have been won. "Slumdog Millionaire" can be said to be the "Millionaire" of this year's awards season. At the same time, major magazines and newspapers selected films of the year, and well-known film critics selected films of the year. "Slumdog Millionaire" also gained a lot.

“Times” Top Ten No. 7, “Rolling Stone” Top Ten No. 2, “New York Post” Top Ten No. 1, Roger Albert’s Top 20 Films in 2008, Stephen King’s Top Ten in 2008 good……

On December 15, 2009, nominations were announced for the 67th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards. "Slumdog Millionaire" won four nominations for best drama, best director, best screenwriter, and best soundtrack. . "Stunned" also received so far, the first major nomination, the best photography award.

Compared with the poor, the heartbeat is the real poor.

In the awards season, "Slumdog Millionaire" also survived its final glory, with a global reputation of 360 million U.S. dollars and a grand slam in word of mouth and box office. As an investor, Pinnacle Entertainment can be said to have gained both fame and fortune. A company that can only produce blockbuster movies at the box office certainly does not have a company that can win awards to enhance its reputation.

At the same time, North America has successively painted "Detective Sherlock Holmes", which has received a total of 240 million U.S. dollars in North America, 260 million U.S. dollars overseas, 500 million U.S. dollars worldwide, and some regions are in theaters, such as mainland China. It was released, and it is expected that US$540 million worldwide will not be a problem.

The last film produced by Summit Entertainment this year, "The Hangover 2", has postponed the schedule and made concessions for "Old Boy", so it is set after Christmas. A few days later, on Friday, December 11, "Old Boy" was officially released for the first weekend in North America.

With the title of the most popular film in Asia, "Old Boy" arranged 3560 theaters across the United States, ranking first in the number of theaters released in this issue. It can be seen how confident the old American filmmakers are in Shao Shuaijun's films . After the three-day weekend from 11th to 13th, the box office was released.

"2012", which has passed its peak period, only collected US$4.4 million, ranking sixth this weekend, with a cumulative box office of US$150 million in North America. I have to say that disaster movies are just to watch a lively event. The freshness is over and it is easy to cause visual fatigue. The results in North America are not worthy of its claimed production cost of more than 200 million US dollars. Fortunately, there are overseas support. Otherwise, Sony has Die.

Lionsgate’s small cost "Brothers" won 5 million US dollars, ranking fifth. This year, Lionsgate has produced a lot of movies, basically without losing money, but only the "SAW" series is still making money. Under the aura of the old neighbor, Peak Entertainment, eclipsed.

Disney’s "A Christmas Carol" is $6.87 million, Warner Bros.’s "Achievement in People" is $9.08 million, and Disney’s "The Princess and the Frog" is $25 million, ranking fourth, third, and second respectively. I have to say that Disney's children's route is still very successful. "A Christmas Carol" has accumulated US$124 million, and the opening results of "The Princess and the Frog" are also good.

But this week's championship belongs to "Old Boy", with $39.4 million, which is not such a hot result, but it still broke the success limit of $10,000 for a single theater. As long as a single theater reaches $10,000, the movie is a success, and the number of theaters will not decrease much.

The score on IMDB is not as scary as Asia, only 7.6 points, and the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes is only 75. Using the "New York Times" film critic Ben Taylor's 3/4 rating: "This is an Asian definition of dreams, with inspirational elements, but no commercial film should have the elements of scripts and cultural differences. It makes it difficult for us to understand the song at the end of the film."

Most of the reactions of American audiences are that they are very warm after watching it, and they have some feelings. To say how deep they are, they really don’t. The ending is sentimental for the whole Asian "Old Boy". For them, the melody is good, and the lyrics are good. However, the dream belongs to the whole world, and the movie is still loved by the audience.

Became the box office champion of the week.

North America has succeeded, and it has almost succeeded all over the world. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain...Although "Old Boy" is not so strong and has never set a record for Chinese-language movies, it has also been on the throne of the week. Reaped a lot of box office.

But in Asia, "Old Boy" is still strong.

South Korea achieved two consecutive championships. This week, there were 1.6 million movie-watchers and a cumulative movie-watcher of 3.7 million, which set the record of 2.71 million movie-watchers in "Under the Red Cliff" far away, and according to this result, it is sure to squeeze into the top ten Korean movies of the year. Ranks.

Japan has also achieved two consecutive championships, earning 2 billion yen this week, and the total box office has accumulated to 3.8 billion yen, which is getting closer and closer to the 5.5 billion yen Chinese film record of "Under the Red Cliff".

Hong Kong once again topped the champion of the week, with a box office of 24 million Hong Kong dollars a week and a total box office of 56 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching the top of the Chinese-language film champion, and the top ten of the year is about to come.

Treasure Island also topped the weekly champion, with a box office of 140 million Taiwan dollars a week and a total box office of 350 million Taiwan dollars. The annual top ten has been locked.

Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos... all achieved coherence. According to statistics, the overseas box office of the entire Asia again received 28 million US dollars, about 191 million yuan.

On the mainland, after breaking 400 million yuan a week, the momentum finally slowed down. The box office dropped a lot in the second week, but it was only compared with the results of the first week, and the second week received 190 million yuan! Refresh all the records of the second week again. New records have also been added.

Breaking the box office record of 600 million RMB at the fastest time in 14 days!

After the 510 million yuan in Inception, there was finally a movie that broke the 500 million mark, and it broke the 600 million mark like a bamboo! The first film in the mainland market reached 600 million yuan, and it was still a Chinese film! After CCTV's "News Broadcast" introduced the news for an unprecedented time, the next "Focus Interview" made a special program on "Old Boy".

Explain in detail why this movie is so popular.

"What is the charm of "Old Boy" and it can achieve such outstanding results. We interviewed the film producer sloppy on this issue and asked him to analyze it for us." Bai Yansong finished reporting the data, and the screen turned to chase. Dream Film and Television Base.

The general manager of Dream Chasing Culture Brokerage Company is sloppy, sitting in the office in a straight suit, and said solemnly: "We have summarized the three elements of film success, the background of the times, the theme of care, the reputation effect and the scale of publicity.
