របៀបដែល 'Thor 4' របស់ Marvel ក្លាយជាជោគជ័យ Box Office ដែលមិនធ្លាប់មានពីមុនមក

The top movie over the weekend at Vudu was Marvel and Walt Disney’sDIS
Thor: ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់, with Paramountសម្រាប់
and Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick placing second. The size of កំពូលកាំភ្លើង 2’s haul ($705 million domestic and $1.453 billion thus far) has put the MCU on the defensive despite objectively high earnings for វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែកក្នុងពហុវណ្ណៈ (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង Thor: ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់ ($750 million). However, Taika Waititi’s Thor 4 out-grossed his Thor 3 domestically ($341 million) and globally sans China and Russia (where ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់ did not play). In at least domestic earnings, ធ is the first big-budget franchise to have four installments that each out-grossed their predecessors. No box office bomb, Thor 4 has turned the Chris Hemsworth/Natalie Portman/Tom Hiddleston/Tessa Thompson franchise into something remarkable and made it unique both within the MCU and the Hollywood franchise landscape.

លោក Kenneth Branagh ធ earned $181 million domestic and $449 million in the summer of 2011, back when that global total was enough to make it the biggest no-Batman/Iron Man/Wolverine/Spider-Man comic book superhero movie ever. Alan Taylor’s ធរ: ពិភពងងឹត។ earned $206 million domestic and $644 million worldwide in late 2013, placing second on that list behind only បុរស​ដែកថែប’s $668 million cume. Waititi was hired to freshen up Thor: Ragnarok and delivered a buzzy and well-received action comedy that still stands as one of the better MCU titles. Cue a $315 million domestic and $854 million global cume. And now Thor: ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់, despite mixed reviews, indifferent word-of-mouth and sharp criticism among the perpetually online, has legged out to $342 million from a $144 million debut and $750 million global, again without playing in China or Russia.

Not that many franchises make it to part four. Many of the bigger ones that did, like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Toy Story, Mad Max, Indiana Jones និង ស្លាប់រឹង, got ‘many years later’ legacy sequels. ស្លាប់រឹង grossed $81 million. ស្លាប់រឹង ២ រកចំណូលបាន ៥៦ លានដុល្លារ។ Die Hard: ជាមួយនឹងការសងសឹក grossed $100 million. រស់នៅដោយឥតគិតថ្លៃឬស្លាប់រឹង (12 years later and with a PG-13) grossed $133 million domestic in the summer of 2007. The អាវុធដ៍សាហាវ។ series went $65 million, $147 million (making it the first pure breakout sequel in modern times), $144 million and $127 million. The 1989-1997 Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher Batman films peaked with រឿង Batman ($251 million, $162 million, $184 million and $108 million), as did the បុណ្យ Halloween (not counting the Jamie Lee Curtis-starring legacy sequels in 1998 and then in 2018), Friday the 13th, Scream និង ការ​លេង​របស់​កុមារ ស៊េរី។

Many franchises that scored franchise-best grosses on round four, think Insidious, Mission: Impossible និង សាស្តាលឿន. However, they had to decline on the threequel ($120 million for Insidious 3, ២៥ លានដុល្លារសម្រាប់ បេសកម្ម៖ មិនអាចទៅរួចទេ III និង ៨០០ លានដុល្លារសម្រាប់ រសាត់តូក្យូ) before rising for the fourth chapter ($172 million for The Last Key, ២៥ លានដុល្លារសម្រាប់ Ghost Protocol – although less domestically than Mission: Impossible 2 – និង ៨០០ លានដុល្លារសម្រាប់ លឿន & ឆាប់ខឹង). Even franchises that reached new milestones on part four, think Star Trek, Harry Potter និង Jurassic, had threequels and threequels that earned less than the respective franchise starter. In terms of one-two-three-four installments that each rose from their predecessor, ឆ្កួតអតិបរមា had three installments from 1979 to 1986 and then a tentpole fourthquel in 2015. Pixar’s រឿងតុក្កតា had one legacy sequel in 2010 and another in 2019. Playing fair, ធ stands almost alone.

នេះ ឆ្កួតអតិបរមា movies ($8.75 million in 1980, $23.7 million for អ្នកប្រយុទ្ធតាមផ្លូវ។ in 1982, $36.2 million for លើសពី Thunderdome in 1985 and then $153 million for ផ្លូវ Fury in 2015) sold more tickets domestically for each progressive installment. Conversely, the រឿងតុក្កតា films grossed $192 million in 1995/$411 million adjusted for inflation, $242 million in 1999/$448 million adjusted, $415 million in 2010/$500 million adjusted and then $430 million in 2019/$451 million adjusted. Is there any other modern franchise with four theatrically successful installments, each topping their respective predecessor domestically without taking a decade or three between installments? Yes. ម្ចាស់ក្តីសុបិន grossed $49 million in 1988, more than អ្នកសុបិននៃអ្នកចម្បាំង (៨៥៤ លានដុល្លារក្នុងឆ្នាំ ២០១៧), ការសងសឹករបស់ Freddy ($29 million in 1985) and the first សុបិន្តអាក្រក់នៅតាមផ្លូវអេលម ($26 million in 1984. Even if I missed one, ធ is in scarce company.

This ‘matters,’ beyond just fun trivia, because it’s a reminder that, despite mixed reviews and buzz, Thor: ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់ was very much a very big hit. ធ has never been the biggest of MCU franchises, with ពិភពងងឹត earning less than បុរសដែក 3 ($409 million/$1.2 billion) and ប្រធានក្រុមអាមេរិច ៣ (២០២ លានដុល្លារ / ៣០ លានដុល្លារ) និង អាណាព្យាបាលនៃទូរស័ព្ទ Galaxy នេះ ($333 million/$773 million). Even Thor: Ragnarok earned less in 2017 than អាណាព្យាបាលនៃ Galaxy Vol ។ 2 (២០២ លានដុល្លារ / ៣០ លានដុល្លារ) និង អង្គការ SPIDER របស់ Man: ការវិលត្រឡប់មកវិញ (334 លានដុល្លារ / 881 លានដុល្លារ) ។ ប្រសិនបើ John Wick: ជំពូកទី 4, one of the few modern franchises (alongside ប្រធានក្រុមអាមេរិក) to rise each time out, only earns 5% more than John Wick: ជំពូកទី 3’s $322 million global cume, I think Lionsgate will be happy. Captain America: លំដាប់ពិភពលោកថ្មី។ may want to look at កេរ្តិ៍ដំណែលបឺរេន។ or រស់នៅហើយឱ្យស្លាប់ as a comparison point.

It also matters because, even as we debate the future of theatrical moviegoing, it bears repeating that we still had part four of a big-budget franchise that out-grossed its threequel even with less buzz and another movie hogging the spotlight. Even amid a summer challenged by Covid, an emphasis on streaming and economic challenges, we witnessed all-time box office records being shattered left and right. កំពូលកាំភ្លើង 2 is the biggest ‘part two’ sequel ever. Elvis is the second-biggest musical biopic ever. នាទី៖ ការកើនឡើងនៃហ្គ្រុយ set a new Independence Day weekend opener record. And Thor: ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់ សរុប Thor: Ragnarok, ធ្វើឱ្យ ធ series the first big-budget franchise to do a 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 box office upswing without years upon years between installments. Even as just another ធ ភាពយន្ត, ស្នេហានិងផ្គរលាន់ became the biggest ធ ទាំងអស់។
