836 [The Birth of a God Piece]
The end of the year in North America started in November, and no one could have expected that the best performance in the end of the year was actually an animation.
"Aladdin" is a Disney animation released in mid-November. It won a super high box office of more than 19 million US dollars in three days after its release, and it directly exceeded 100 million in less than a month. Moreover, this cartoon has a strong momentum. As Christmas approaches, it still maintains a good attendance rate, and the box office is directly at the 200 million US dollars mark.
The second is "The Good People" starring Tombe and Demi Moore. This movie is one month later than "Aladdin" and has a box office of more than 15 million on the first Wednesday. The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston is sandwiched between these two movies, and the box office is greatly affected.
"Jurassic Park", co-directed by Kang Jianfei and James Cameron, was released on the same day as "The Good People". The dinosaur special effects in the film obviously shocked the American hospital vendors, and they arranged 2,574 premiere canvases for "Jurassic Park", which shows that theaters have great expectations for this movie.
The promotional fee for "Jurassic Park" in North America is as high as 20 million US dollars, equivalent to two-fifths of the production fee. The advertising posters cover every street in the United States and Canada. The advertisements "Jurassic Park" only have three seconds of advertisements on TV, and the content is very simple. It directly means that the Tyrannosaurus Rex overturns the car and then roars.
I don’t know how many North American audiences are, because of these short three advertisements, w♂ww. seconds, and can’t wait to run into the cinema to watch “Jurassic Park”.
It was released on Friday, December 11. In just three days, "Jurassic Park"'s first week's box office reached 47.02 million US dollars. It was directly three times higher than "The Good People" released on the same day.
No matter how handsome Tom is, he will be defeated by the dinosaurs.
American and Canadian audiences are crazy about the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park", while American filmmakers and critics are crazy about the box office of "Jurassic Park" "Jurassic Park" breaks the first-day and first-week box office record in North America!
In the second week of the release, the screening canvas of "Jurassic Park" increased to 2,680 yuan, and the box office in a single week reached 64.48 million US dollars.
In just two weeks of release, in just 10 days, the North American box office of "Jurassic Park" exceeded 100 million!
The cartoon "Aladdin" released in November has already shocked many people's chins after winning 200 million yuan. Unexpectedly, there was an even more powerful one in December. It was like a fantasy that the box office exceeded 10 million yuan in 10 days, and few people would believe it if they said it.
Before "Titanic" and "Avatar" were released, "Jurassic Park" was the world's most popular movie. How could it be less box office?
Although the male and female protagonists have been replaced by Asian actors, and many supporting roles also speak Asian faces in Cantonese, the main dialogues are still in English, so North American audiences are not affected at all when watching movies.
By the time Christmas arrived, the single-day box office of "Jurassic Park" hit a new peak, with a cumulative box office of more than 190 million in 17 days in three weeks. By the end of New Year's Day, the box office of "Jurassic Park" had soared to $260 million.
The box office curve was simply intoxicating, with the single-day box office reaching its peak on Christmas and New Year's Day respectively. At other times, it only fell slightly, and the weekly box office declined no more than 10%.
The Los Angeles Daily commented: "Jurassic Park is no longer the only one who can stop it. This Tyrannosaurus Rex has killed all the movies released at the same time. The box office of 200 million is far from over, and this is just the beginning. Let us witness the birth of a box office miracle together."
A miracle was born soon. After New Year's Day, although the attendance rate of "Jurassic Park" dropped significantly, the weekly box office was still above 20 million. From its release on December 11th, until late January 1993, "Jurassic Park" won the weekly box office championship for five weeks.
After 48 days of screening, "Jurassic Park" finally finished filming in North America. The box office reached a terrifying $357 million, setting a new record in North America's box office history.
With such a box office, "Jurassic Park" is no longer a purely film. It set off a dinosaur craze in North America and even affected the funding of American academic institutions in dinosaur archaeological research.
The original novel "Jurassic Park" was influenced by this and has since been ranked first in the North American book bestselling list and was selected as the recommended bibliography of American Literature Guide.
Since the popular date of the film "Jurassic Park", the whole world has been obsessed with the dinosaurs, a species that has disappeared for hundreds of millions of years. Dinosaur exhibition halls and playgrounds of all sizes have been built around the world, including the United States, China, and Russia; TV, magazines and other media have continuously reported various news about dinosaurs; shop windows are displaying dinosaur models with different postures; children are wearing costumes with dinosaur patterns to show off to each other...

The Japanese praised Kang Jianfei to the sky, and Hong Kong and Taiwan media also praised it, mainly because the global box office of $500 million is too terrifying, and this data is still growing.
Wenhui Po praises Kang Jianfei as "the pride of Chinese people", while Ming Pao Weekly calls him "the most powerful and influential Chinese director in contemporary times and a representative figure of Chinese-language films."
In the list of the world's most influential directors (living) selected by Time magazine at the end of the year, Kang Jianfei's ranking rose by more than ten places, ranking in the top five for the first time.

As the male and female protagonists of "Jurassic Park", Tony Leung and Matsusaka Keiko have been making faces all over the world, and their fame has risen like a rocket. Even Cheng Kui'an, who plays the security leader of Jurassic Park in the film, has seen a high status and fame, and his pay has exceeded one million and is in line with Wu Mengda.
The one who regrets the most is probably the Songzhu Film. Kam Kenfei invited Matsusaka Keiko as the heroine to cater to the Japanese market. "Jurassic Park" is easy to make an actor famous, so he naturally cannot help others create stars. During the filming, he bought Matsusaka Keiko's agent from Matsusaka's film.
