គ្មានផ្លូវទៅផ្ទះ' មិនត្រូវការចិនឱ្យឆ្លង 1 ពាន់លានដុល្លារទៅបរទេស

As Spider-Man: គ្មានផ្លូវនៅផ្ទះទេ spends what could be its final day atop the domestic and worldwide box office before what I assume will be its first under-$10 million domestic weekend gross, I wanted to take a moment to highlight at least one piece of genuinely impressive box office news, one which ties into the current overseas box office bonanza.  

ដើម្បី wit, សមរភូមិនៅបឹង Changjin ២ has earned $243 million in its first three days in China. I’m seeing the Korean War epic in IMAX tomorrow, as the film will almost certainly “win” the long Chinese holiday weekend even if buzzy upstart ត្រជាក់ដើម្បីសម្លាប់ ($106 million in three days) may win the marathon. As we’ve seen a few times of late, the presumed New Years’ champion doesn’t always end up on top.  

នៅ 2018, អ្នកសង្កេតការណ៍ Chinatown 2 រកបាន ៧០០ លានដុល្លារខណៈពេល បិសាចហិនទ័រ ៣ flatlined after a $97 million opening day for an eventual $356 million cume. Just last year, អ្នកសង្កេតការណ៍ Chinatown 3 opened with a record-breaking (for a single territory) $160 million Friday and $398.5 million Fri-Sun weekend only to flatline due to poor word of mouth (for many of the same mythology-first story choices that would stymie F9 months later) and end with “just” $685 million.  

Jia Ling’s សួស្ដី​ម៉ាក់, a time travel adventure, legged out to $835 million to become the biggest-grossing movie ever from a solo female director. We’ll see if history repeats itself, even as nobody is expecting sequel, also unofficially titled The Water Gate Bridge at Lake Changjin, to match the $915 million (mostly from China) global cum. However, the film clearly won’t need any help from any other territories to reach a likely (at least) over/under $600 million cume.  

សម្រាប់​បញ្ហា​នោះ, Spider-Man: គ្មានផ្លូវនៅផ្ទះទេ became the tenth film to pass $1 billion in overseas box office grosses. It’s also the only one on the list to never, ever play in China. Now, for the record it is not the only film that didn’t technically need China to pass the milestone.

Even without a penny from China, Avatar ($1.79 billion in its first theatrical release without China), Avengers: Endgame ($1.32 billion overseas sans China), Titanic ($1.242 billion sans the 2012 3-D reissue during which it earned $145 million in China), Avengers: សង្គ្រាម Infinity (១ ពាន់លានដុល្លារ), សង្គ្រាមផ្កាយ: កម្លាំងដាស់ ($1.007 billion) would have still passed the milestone.  

មានតែ ពិភពលោក Jurassic ($229 million out of $1.018 billion), ស្តេ​ច​តោ ($120 million/$1.013 billion), វាសនានៃកំហឹង (392 លានដុល្លារ / 1.162 ពាន់លានដុល្លារ) និង វាសនានៃកំហឹង ($393 million/$1.009 billion) needed the push, and it’s not like they were otherwise dying theatrically. With $1.003 billion overseas as of Sunday, ផ្ទះគ្មានផ្លូវ should vault to fourth place on the “no China” overseas grosses list by the time it wraps up.  

In terms of overseas totals, it looks to have another $50 million left in the can for an over/under $1.05 billion overseas cume. That would put it in eighth place on the all-timers list. Meanwhile, let’s watch this weekend and if សមរភូមិនៅបឹង Changjin ២ ends up closer to ចចកអ្នកចម្បាំង 2 ។ (១៩ លានដុល្លារ) ឬ វង្វេងផែនដី (៤ លានដុល្លារ)។
