Make a comeback 510 global box office

With the gradual maturity of the film market, films from various countries have gradually stepped onto the world stage, enriching the global film market. Although the United States has always been the most mature and successful film market in the world, Hollywood has never ignored it. In the overseas market, with the exception of Africa, where the development of the entire film industry lags behind the world, the other four continents have very well-developed film markets.

Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom in Europe, and China in Asia. Guoxiang. Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, Australia in Oceania, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia in South America...the film markets in these countries and regions have all developed rapidly, and their maturity is not inferior to that of the United States, especially known as literary and artistic films. In the hinterland of the European market, the box office potential cannot be underestimated. In December 1999, the European Community passed the "European Union Treaty". On November 1, before the "Schindler's List" was released, Europe was officially born. It also indicates that the European Economic Community will have more far-reaching development potential, which is definitely a big plus for the movie box office market.

Universal Pictures began negotiations with overseas markets when the "Schindler's List" was scheduled for the North American release. However, Universal Pictures originally planned to include the "Schindler's List" around February 1994. Moving to the screens in overseas markets, because after about three months of North American publicity and brewing, the film has enough appeal, which can save a lot of cost for overseas publicity.

But no one thought that "Schindler's List" set off a storm of public opinion at the end of November and early December, and even attracted the attention of the president. This also made the film's worldwide influence an incredible The momentum of "Schindler's List" has risen rapidly, and the three countries and regions of Germany, Australia and the United Kingdom have taken the lead in requesting the "Schindler's List" to be released in advance.

After careful planning, "Schindler's List" first landed in Germany, Australia and the United Kingdom in the last week of 1993.

Among them, Germany has given the highest level of attention to this film. German President Richard von Weizseck (.) personally attended the premiere of the film in Frankfurt (fra), expressing his interest in this film with practical actions. The support of the film also showed the world the profound review and awakening of Germany's World War II.

This is also "Schindler's List." After the President of the United States publicly expressed support for the film, another national leader opened the platform for the film, which also pushed the film from an ordinary entertainment carrier to a whole new level, such as the country. The means of direct cultural'communication', for example, the way some countries express their political positions. Obviously, Germany's performance won everyone's applause.

Germany's courage and frankness have won them a very good position in the newly established European Union, and it has also won them the understanding and forgiveness of the world. Relatively speaking, the attitude of another defeated country in World War II has become a historical criticism, and it has not been improved until Hugo crosses it. It is a huge difference.

"Schindler's List" has achieved great success in Germany. It can clearly see the sincerity of the German people for that period of historical confession. In the end, the film won a box office of 73 million U.S. dollars in Germany and ranked first. Germany's 1994 year-end movie box office rankings of runner-up position, this is really an incredible result.

The other two countries that were the first to release "Schindler's List" also "handed in" good answers. The British market received a box office of 40 million U.S. dollars and became the No. Three ticket warehouses; and although Australia only "handed in" a box office figure of 15 million U.S. dollars, this figure was the third place in the box office at the end of the year in 1994 in Australia.

Immediately afterwards, "Schindler's List" was successively screened in other countries and regions overseas in 1994. Surprisingly, "Schindler's List" performed very well in the Japanese box office market— —Perhaps because the film condemned the German Nazis, not the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which made the entire Japanese market'handed over' $43 million in the box office, making it the second best international box office performance of "Schindler's List" Market.

The three markets of Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom are the three best-performing countries and regions on the "Schindler's List" in overseas markets. They jointly contributed an amazing box office of 156 million US dollars. Human data.

In addition, the box office of France, Italy, South Korea, Spain, the Netherlands and other five countries and regions have exceeded the 10 million threshold. France and Italy both contributed more than 20 million box office data. It can be seen that " Schindler’s list" as a whole has a wide range of influence in Europe. Among them, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, and "Poland" also performed very well in the box office. All of them easily ranked among these five. The top three countries and regions at the year-end box office in 1994.

"Schindler's List" earned a total of 243 million U.S. dollars in box office in Europe, which strongly surpassed the box office data obtained by movies in North America.

It can be seen that the deep trauma left by the Second World War on the entire European continent, especially in the past three years, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the unification of Germany, and the establishment of the European Union have left the entire Europe in the post-World War II era. In the constant panic, the story of Oscar Schindler is not only a reflection on the massacre, but also the most inspiring force in the dark, so this movie is in Europe. It has received tremendous support, even surpassing North America.

In the end, "Schindler's List" was screened in 47 countries and regions around the world. Before the end of 1994, a total of US$330 million in box office data was obtained!

This kind of box office performance is definitely not expected by anyone. With a box office of US$205 million in North America and a total of US$535 million in the world, if such a strong box office data is placed last year, then "Schindler" "The List" will surpass "Aladdin" to become the year-end box office champion, even better than "Terminator 2" which created a global box office of 520 million US dollars in 1991!

If it weren't for another box office monster "Jurassic Park" this summer, I'm afraid that "Schindler's List" would make history, but even so, "Schindler's List" has written its own history.

On the North American box office rankings, "Schindler's List" became the sixteenth film in film history that passed the 200 million threshold at the box office; and on the global box office history list, "Schindler's List" "After "Jurassic Park", "Alien e.t", "Star Wars (star. he... ranked fifth!

If inflation is not taken into account, "Schindler's List" has also become the highest grossing black and white movie of all time!

Of course, the most worth mentioning is that "Schindler's List" invested only 22 million yuan. Such a small-cost investment that was ignored by almost everyone, in exchange for 535 million yuan worldwide. The US dollar box office has become one of the works with the highest investment-return ratio in film history. Although Steven, Hugo and other crew members have donated their proceeds to the Holocaust Foundation and the United States Holocaust Museum, but For Universal Pictures, they made a lot of money and achieved the company's greatest success in the early 1990s, which attracted the jealousy of other major film companies.

It can be said that "Schindler's List" has completed a task that is almost considered impossible. It has a ten-year production cycle and almost everyone is not confident enough to complete the film. The story is extremely tricky and slightly careless. The story itself may have ruined everything, but in the hands of Steven Spielberg glowed with a whole new color.

Recall the hardship of the entire preparation process. Almost all film companies, all professionals and all media reporters hesitated and hesitated about this subject matter, as well as Steven’s "spirit" collapse several times during the filming process, as well as Hugo. Nearly falling into the terrible situation of the division of spirit and spirit, not to mention the psychological torment of those survivors who have actually experienced the concentration camp disaster. Now the victory of "Schindler's List" can only be said to be the tip of the iceberg.

Compared with these voices of praise, compared with these public opinion booms, compared with these box office successes, the real meaning of "Schindler's List" is that it has left people with precious "spiritual" wealth, so that the younger generations can pass. This movie saw the cruelty and horror of the massacre during the Second World War, and used it as a warning.

This is also the reason why the A'mon-Goss controversy was finally rehabilitated and then sublimated the whole movie, because "Schindler's List" reflects not only the disasters suffered by the Jewish people, but also The pressure of the entire human society during the war. People are not people, ghosts are not like ghosts~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Good people have become bad people, bad people have become demons, life has become grass, and dignity has become dust. ... The impact of war has destroyed almost all good things. Not every war can have Oscar-Schindler, nor can every Oscar-Schindler that appear in a war succeed, nor is it an Oscar-Schindler in every war. All can be known to posterity.

War is never what people need, peace can bring happiness.

From this point of view, Steven succeeded. He used his own lens to tell a true story. He did not substitute his own subjective thoughts to shoot an extreme movie; Hugo succeeded, he used his own His performance tells the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of this war. He was not swallowed by the whole movie; "Schindler's List" succeeded, and it used a true story to arouse people's echoes and reflections. In half a century After that, the present has left a precious wealth for mankind.

"Schindler's List" ushered in a victory that belonged to itself and to humanity in peace.
