266 Chapter 266 Annual Final List (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)

2003 has passed, and the year-end North American box office list is also freshly released.

Until then, Lyman, who was busy shooting in a corner, seemed to be remembered.

In 2003, when the curtain just came to an end, he may not have been the most vigorous and watched director, but he was the one with the most rapid rise. He almost made his debut on the Hollywood Vanity Fair in a very tough way.

Looking at the North American market throughout the year, it is enough to leave a place.

”The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King” continues the strength of the previous work as always. Director Peter Jackson is undoubtedly the brightest star this year. As of now, the North American box office has won the year-end list with 35.36 million US dollars. Single champion, but this is not the end. Although the market has fallen sharply after a period of screening, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to get another ten million.

That's it, but the absolute overlord who has already locked the top name.

At the same time, such achievements are only behind ”Titanic” (650 million), ”Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Threat” (470 million), ”ET-Alien” (430 million), ranking fourth in film history.

In other words, the benefits created by the entire Lord of the Rings series of trilogy are enough to make every investor too enthusiastic. It can be expected that the blockbuster era and blockbuster production will become more fierce.

After that, Pixar Studio's ”Finding Nemo” won the runner-up, with a North American box office score of more than 339 million.

Of course, this is nothing to be particularly happy about. For Pixar, the animations they produce have basically been in the top three in the past years, and they have never fallen behind.

As for the third place, it was ”Bad Guy”. The North American market score of more than 334 million won instantly reminded countless people in the industry.

This is also the only French director in film history to make the year-end list in North America, which is enough to make people feel a little bit incredulous.

On the one hand, people are surprised that a noir crime movie can achieve such a good result, on the other hand, they are surprised at the completion of the content of the work-this is only the director's fourth feature film, which already needs to look up.

I think at the beginning, a ”Three Stupies Raising Bollywood” became famous at the Sundance Film Festival. Even if it finally won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Goldman, everyone generally believed that the film industry had come out of a powerful independent director. It is not uncommon for talents to always appear every three to five years.

Counting forward, there are the Coen brothers (representative works: ”Blood Maze”, ”Ice Blood Storm”, ”Old Nowhere”) Quentin Tarantino is a little closer, just after people speculate that he is the second ”Quentin” At that time, a year later, his name appeared in the top three of the North American year-end box office charts. To be honest, this is by no means an area that an independent director can touch. It is even more so than he won the Oscar for best director. It's incredible, even though he hasn't even received a nomination.

However, such a rapid change is very outrageous. If it weren't really happening in front of our eyes, no one would believe it.

Unfortunately, reality is always more psychedelic than story.
