In recent days, the movie “Space Jam: A New Legacy” starring James has aroused a lot of heated discussion after it was released, and it has almost become a hot spot in the sports and entertainment industry.

However, after receiving extremely bad reviews, the first day of the premiere weekend passed, and the movie ushered in a major reversal.
“Space Jam: A New Legacy” has a single-day box office of nearly 4,000 theaters in North America as high as $11.3 million, even surpassing the Marvel movie “Black Widow”‘s single-day box office of 8 million.
According to the prediction of the film industry, according to this trend, “Space Jam: A New Legacy” is expected to reach $32.5 million at the box office during the premiere weekend, and will become the North American box office champion this weekend.
In the past two days on the weekend, the results of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” are impressive, and it can be said to be a great success.
According to statistics from the entertainment media “Variety”, “Space Jam: A New Legacy” reached a box office of $31.6 million in North America during its premiere weekend.
In 64 overseas markets, it also won a box office of 23 million U.S. dollars, reaching a total of 54.6 million U.S. dollars.
This data far exceeds the original expectations of the film production company.
According to previous media reports, the production cost of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” is about US$150 million, and it is difficult to make a profit if you rely solely on ticket sales.
But now, just on the first weekend of the show, they have won one-third of the box office of the production fee.
There is reason to believe that this data will soar further as time progresses.
The production company Warner Bros. Pictures believes that the box office is not the only measure of the success of the film.
Because they hope to use this movie to arouse the audience’s interest in subscribing to their online streaming media.
At the same time, in the first weekend of “Space Jam: A New Legacy”, in addition to the box office exceeding expectations, which made the production company very satisfied, there were two other factors that they believed were more important than the box office!
First, although the Rotten Tomatoes score only gave a freshness of 31% when the movie was first released, the audience who bought the tickets gave it a score of A-. This is already a good evaluation, which shows that the film itself is convincing.
Second, 53% of the audience who watched the movie were men, and 52% of them were under the age of 25. This user group is one of the huge customer groups that film production companies most want to win.
So, from the current point of view, although “Space Jam: A New Legacy” initially received a very low score.
However, on the first weekend of the show, they received a box office that exceeded expectations, good reviews from viewers, and a user group they wanted.
