Dongshan made a comeback at the 510 global box office

With the gradual maturity of the film market, films from all over the world 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, but Hollywood has never ignored the overseas market, except for Africa, where the development of the entire film industry lags behind the world, the other four continents have very perfect film markets.

Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom in Europe, and in Asia. National incense. Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, Australia in Oceania, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia in South America...... The film market in these countries and regions has made great progress, and its maturity is not inferior to that of the United States, especially the European market, which is known as the hinterland of literary films, and the box office potential cannot be underestimated, in December l991, the European Community passed the "Treaty on European Union" on November 1, just before the release of "Schindler's List", Europe was officially born, which also means that the European Economic Community will have more far-reaching development potential, which is definitely a big positive for the film box office market.

Universal Pictures had already begun to negotiate with overseas markets when "Schindler's List" arranged the North American release schedule, but originally Universal Pictures planned to put "Schindler's List" on the screen of overseas markets around February 1994, because after about three months of North American publicity and brewing, the film also had enough appeal, which could save a lot of costs for overseas publicity.

But no one expected that "Schindler's List" set off a storm of public opinion in late November and early December, and even attracted the attention of the president, which also made the film's influence around the world rise rapidly with an incredible momentum, and Germany, Australia and the United Kingdom took the lead in requesting the early release of "Schindler's List".

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

Among them, Germany gave the film the highest level of attention, and German President Richard von Weizsäcker. Yolker personally attended the premiere of the film in Frankfurt (FRA) to show his support for the film and to show the world Germany's profound review and awakening to the Second World War.

This is also the "Schindler's List" after the President of the United States publicly expressed his support for the film, another national leader publicly stood for the film, which also pushed the film from an ordinary entertainment carrier to a new level, such as the means of direct cultural 'exchange' of the country, and the way for some countries to express their political positions. Obviously, Germany's watch xiàn won everyone's applause.

Germany's courage and sincerity have earned them a very good position in the newly established European Union, and at the same time, they have also won the understanding and forgiveness of the whole world. Comparatively 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, which is really a world of difference.

"Schindler's List" was a huge success in Germany, and the sincerity of the German people's repentance for that period of history can be clearly seen, and the film finally won $73 million at the German box office, ranking second in the German 1994 year-end box office list, which is really an incredible achievement.

The other two countries that were the first to release "Schindler's List" also 'delivered' good answers, and the British market got $40 million at the box office, becoming the third box office in the international market of "Schindler's List"; Although Australia only 'delivered' a box office figure of 15 million US dollars, this figure was the third place at the year-end box office in Australia in 1994.

In 1994, "Schindler's List" was screened in other countries overseas, and surprisingly, "Schindler's List" was very good at the Japanese box office - perhaps because the film condemned the German Nazis, not the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which made the entire Japanese market "deliver" 43 million US dollars, making it the second best market for the "Schindler's List" international box office.

Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom are the three best countries and regions in the "Schindler's List" overseas market, and they have joined forces to contribute an astonishing $156 million at the box office, which is really a staggering number.

In addition, the box office of France, Italy, South Korea, Spain, the Netherlands and other five countries and regions has exceeded the threshold of 10 million, and France and Italy have both contributed more than 20 million box office jù, which shows that the influence of "Schindler's List" in Europe as a whole is very extensive, among which Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, and 'Poland' and Land's box office tables are also particularly 'outstanding', all of which are easily among the top three at the year-end box office in these five countries and regions in 1994.

Schindler's List grossed $243 million in Europe alone, surpassing the film's box office in North America.

It can be seen that the deep wounds left by the Second World War on the entire European continent, especially in the past three years, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, and the establishment of the European Union have made the whole of Europe have been in a state of panic in the post-World War II era.

In the end, "Schindler's List" was released in 47 countries and regions around the world, and before the end of 1994, it received a total of 330 million US dollars at the box office.

With a box office of $200,500 in North America and a total of $535 million worldwide, such a strong box office number If it was placed last year, then "Schindler's List" would surpass "Aladdin" to become the year-end box office champion, even better than "Terminator 2" in 1991, which set a global box office of $520 million!

If it weren't for the fact that this summer's box office monster "Jurassic Park" would be "Schindler's List" would have made history, but even so, "Schindler's List" still wrote its own history.

On the North American box office charts, "Schindler's List" has become the sixteenth work in film history to cross the 200 million 'threshold' at the box office, and on the global box office all-time list, "Schindler's List" is second only to "Jurassic Park" and "Alien E." T", Star Wars (Star. he。 empire。 strikes。 back) "Ranked fifth!

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

Of course, the most noteworthy thing is that "Schindler's List" only invested 22 million, such a small-cost investment that was almost ignored by everyone, but it turned out to be a global box office of 535 million US dollars, which has also become one of the works with the highest ratio of investment and return on income in film history, although Steven, Hugo and other crew members donated their proceeds to the Holocaust Foundation and the American Holocaust Museum, but for Universal Pictures, they made a lot of money, It was one of the company's greatest successes in the early nineties, and it caught the eyes of other major studios.

It can be said that "Schindler's List" has accomplished a task that is almost considered impossible, a decade-long production cycle, a film that almost everyone is not confident enough to complete, and an extremely tricky story that can ruin a single mistake in telling, but in the hands of Steven Spielberg, it has taken on a new 'color'.

Looking back at the hardships of the whole preparation process, almost all film companies, all professionals, and all media reporters hesitated and hesitated about this subject, as well as Steven's several 'spirit' breakdowns during the filming process, and Hugo's almost falling into the terrible situation of 'spirit' split, not to mention the psychological torment of those survivors who actually experienced the disaster of the concentration camp, and now the victory of "Schindler's List" can only be said to be the tip of the iceberg.

Compared with these praises, compared to these public opinion crazes, and compared to these box office successes, the real significance of "Schindler's List" is to leave people with precious 'spiritual' assets, so that future generations can see the cruelty and horror of the massacre during World War II through this film, and take this as a warning.

This is also the reason why the controversy about A'mon and Goss was rehabilitated in the end, and then sublimated the whole movie, because "Schindler's List" reflects not only the disaster suffered by the Jewish people, but also the pressure that the entire human society is under in the war...... The impact of war has destroyed almost everything that is good. Not every war can have Oscar and Schindler, not every war can appear Oscar and Schindler can be successful, and not every war Oscar and Schindler can be known to future generations.

War is never what people need, and 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 a 'radical' movie, Hugo succeeded, he used his performance to tell the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of this war, he was not swallowed up by the whole film, "Schindler's List" succeeded, it used a true story to arouse people's echoes and reflections, and left a precious treasure for mankind now, half a century later.

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