People before New Year's Eve after Christmas were extremely enthusiastic about the current scene of good movies in theaters. In addition, the weather in various states was sunny, which further promoted the box office momentum this day.

Paramount's "Rejuvenation" won 25.78 million US dollars with 3,178 screens, becoming the best result of the golden pair Brad Pitt and David Finch.
However, these two movies that surpass themselves can only rank 2 and 3 on the single-day box office list, because ahead of them is an unprecedented Batman movie - "The Dark Knight".
The movie has 51) theaters and 10,023 screens, surpassing the 4,362 theaters and 8,123 screens, making it the largest film in North American film history.
With a thunderous momentum, he became the highest premiere day in history, with no surprise, and the highest single-day box office record, not only surpassed the record-breaking "I Am a Legend" in the past in total, but also exceeded the record of 480,000 in midnight, with a record of 16.9 million US dollars in Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of Heath.
The 8.9 million US dollars of IMAX giant screen theater has the highest premiere in history; plus the world's box office first in a single day, the film history of the first in December, the film history of the premiere in Christmas, the film history of the "Batman" series, the film history of the superhero film history of the past dynasty, and the film history of the comic adaptations of the film history of the past dynasty..., countless ~!!
Countless viewers are fanatical about the quality of "Night Knight". Not only boxofficemojo, but yahoo's user rating is as high as a (currently ranked first in the history of boxofficemojo, the authoritative website boxofficemojo); even media and film critics who once sarcastic to you have shown a comprehensive score of 82 points, second only to "Pi's Fantasy Drifting"; yahoo is a-; Rotten Tomato website's freshness is 94%: 187 votes support: 12 votes against), an absolute Oscar-level masterpiece.
Like the time when "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" was released, "The Chicago Reader", "The Chicago Sun", "The Chicago Tribune", "The Christian Science Monitor", "The Empire", "Entertainment Weekly", "The Cinema", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Daily News", "New York Post", "Seattle Post", "Time", USA Today", "Variety", "Voice of the Village"...~ All authoritative organizations all show full marks.
"A story with the showdown between the Joker and the Patron Saint Batman as the main line, after stripping off the narrative, a difficult and contradictory philosophical proposition emerged: Do people want heroes? Is the reason why heroes are portrayed is to worship and support and wait for them to save us, or to attack and slander us and then quickly?"
"This is more than just an excellent comic adaptation movie? It's simply a dark, complex, profound, unforgettable and chilling criminal epic!!!"
"The harmony of artistic and entertainment is even more perfect than the cg and real shots in the film. It is rare to have Shakespeare's tragedy with the signature "Christmas blockbuster"" "Open high and go high, full of emotion, sharp, ruthless and entangled, magnificent and meticulous"
"The super first-class film technology meets a group of magical directors, screenwriters, and great actors who are completely capable of controlling them." "The process of plot development is also an academic research process that mocks the simple and crude punishment of evil and promoting good, providing a new development direction for such films."
At the same time, all media have unanimously given the highest evaluation of the actors in this movie.
"Led by Christian Bale, the actor of Batman and Alan Eckhart, the actor of "Double-faced Man", the powerful star cast is perfect and dedicated his impeccable and superb acting skills"...
"The performance that triggered the topic, of course, comes from Heath Ledger, the actor who plays the Joker. Usually we say that being 'being possessed' usually refers to the starring of a biopic. Today, Ledger shows what it means to be 'being possessed by a virtual character' with his shocking and evil acting skills!"
"Ledger's interpretation shows the ugliness, horrors, madness, and sorrow of a terminally ill soul who is addicted to "sin". The evil is so three-dimensional and multi-level that it is enough to discourage the real ghosts and monsters~~!!"
The famous critic Roger Ibert described the movie this way on his blog:
"...I'm indescribable. This movie may have been filmed by God with a camera, Christopher Nolan, Christian Belheis Ledger, these three British people created the myth of "The Night Knight".
The names of the three of them will be recorded in film history together with this great movie and will be remembered by future generations. This is the only movie that can be compared with "Pi's Fantasy Drift" this year in box office and art. I sincerely look forward to the 80th Academy Awards Ceremony held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on February 24, 2008.
Let’s take a look at other movies released during the same period~~~ "Rejuvenation", "Millionaire in the Slums", "Nowhere to Belong to Old", "I Am a Legend", "National Treasure 2", "Rat Comes to the Boss"...
Oh~~~~~ Oh my God, these are all movies that can make it enough to enter the Oscars~~ December (No.~ This day is great~~!! I suggest that Hollywood should apply to the California government to make this day a "American Film Festival", and all of this is a chain reaction caused by a certain "movie Jesus"~~ This day was given to us by God!!!”
Yes, people all know that the reason why so many good movies are released in the Christmas season is because of one person, a Chinese person who stirs up the whole Hollywood - Li Xiaole.
Among so many strong films, "Pi's Fantasy Drift" still maintained his own pace, winning the screenings of 1,000 yuan (1,000 yuan), and on this day, the box office in North America officially exceeded 400 million, and squeezed into the top ten American domestic box office with a continuous offensive, ranking 9th. It will step on "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of Heath" under its feet, just around the corner of the 403.7 million box office of the previous "Spider-Man 1".
As of this day, the total box office in North America in 2007 reached 9.599 billion US dollars, which has surpassed the highest in history. The 9.418 billion US dollars in 2004, becoming a new record in North American film history.
The total single-day box office of the top 5 "Dark Knight", "Pi's Fantasy Drift", "National Treasure 2", "Rejuvenation", and "I Am a Legend" reached 180 million US dollars, which is not only the highest data since July this year, but also the peak value of the same period in history since the 21st century, and even surpassed the total of the top 12 tops when "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" at the end of 2003.
In addition, Warner won the 11th single-week box office championship this year with his excellent performance in "The Dark Knights". Disney has accumulated 10 times, Paramount DreamWorks 9 times, Sony 6 times, Universal 4 times, Century Fox 4 times, Lions Gate 3 times, New Line 2 times, and MGM Weinstein 1 time.
Among these familiar names, there is another brand new company that is shocking. As the Black Pearl Company, which has just been established for 3 years, it won 7 weekly box office championships in 2007 with "Iron Man", "Captain America" and "Pi's Fantasy Drift", surpassing old-school giants such as Sony, Universal, and Fox, and becoming the fourth place on this list.
In addition to Lionsgate and Peak Company, Century Cinema Alliance, Pirate TV~~~ The Black Pearl Film Alliance was first established this year and has become a force that can compete with the Hollywood Major League.
Many people exclaimed in their hearts, could it be that the "movie Jesus" really came... to change the entire Hollywood landscape in this way?
And this war between Warner vs. Black Pearl; Nolan vs. Li Xiaole's box office and film status is far from over~~
Although the starting point is different, whether it is "Pi's Fantasy Drift" or "Dark Knight", every increase in the box office makes fans feel excited.
Why is the final number in Li Xiaole's small notebook 600 million? Why is Nolan's declaration 600 million? Because their goals are all one! In 1997, the invincible giant ship "Titanic" under James Cameron created a box office record of 600.78 million~~
In the past decade, no one has been able to get close to the box office record of North American film history, and today there is finally a movie that has the hope to challenge the world's king of movies James Cameron~! Two movies appeared at the same time!
