Snow fluttered in the sky and fell on the pedestrian faces of the streets, feeling icy and cold. On the tenth day of 2007, New York City finally ushered in the first snow of this winter, the latest in 129 years A snow.

The 2006 North American total box office rankings of distributors have naturally been settled. The 2005 championship flame movie still performed miraculously. 9 new films were released without failure. On the contrary, the number of box office figures is amazing. People envy, FF continues to carry the banner of independent film companies!

Last year, 155 film companies (+18) released a total of 610 films (+59) in theaters. It must be said that the good market of last year attracted more investors to enter the film market, although it seems not as magnificent as last year. The total box office in North America is on the rise, reaching 9.72 billion.

Among them, Bullz-Eye produced the ungraded comedy “Points” in a theater and received $ 783 at the box office, becoming the double bottom of the year. The average price in 2006 was 6.55 US dollars, and an average of 119.54 people watched “In front of the big screen. “Points”, one of them was dissatisfied; a movie that made a famous movie with “My Grand Greek Wedding” a few years ago, this year’s crazy pilot released a film, but unfortunately no one is a baby, they account for a total of 0.1% of the shares, of which the highest box office It is the 3.12 million documentary “Word Game”.

It is also the four companies with 1 billion box office: Sony Colombia of 1.560 billion, Flame of 1.426 billion, and Flame of 1.412 billion. Broadway (Disney), 1,079 million 20th Century Fox.

Department, Broadway (Disney) Department, Global Department, Paramount Department, Lions Gate Department, Weinstein Department, MGM United Department, New Line Department, Flame Department.

Three old films are majestic, and the 9 new films need not be said naturally. In the words of some fans, FF is a monster (Nster), and Magic Yang is a monster!

The fun and fun “Ice Age 3” 203 million.23 million; the hilarious and crazy “Hangover 3” 214 million.28 million; the dancing and singing “Mama Mia!” ”Finally 185 million.02 million;“ Furious Speed ​​2 ”, hurricane smashed 216 million.35 million;“ Magician ”, one of the“ Two Sundance ’s Two Treasures of 2005 ”, was eventually released 95.54 million at the box office in North America.

Over 3.5 billion box office worldwide! A lot of money.

Although the annual championship threw away and became the runner-up, the flame actually maintained its peak level in 2005, ranking second in terms of circulation among the mainstream companies. It is definitely not a bad result, and it is an independent company. How can a movie company not be surprising or enviable! ?

The current 9 new films are: “Green Hornet”, “Iron Man”, “I am Legend” , “Assassin League 2”, “Bridesmaid”, “The Story of the Hachiko”, “Dancing My Life 3”, “The Chainsaw 5”, “Mali and Me”.

“Ah! W! ——!” The garden was covered with a thin layer of white snow traces, looking at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, Ke Kele smiled and reached out to shoot, this is the first time she saw snow The scene also learned a new word.

The first snow was only a short while, but there was a way down, and soon the second snow and the third snow. There was also some snow in the spacious garden, and Danny slept lazily. Despite the temperature drop, Ke Ke was still not very heavy, just a small pink coat and cotton pants, and a pair of black gloves to play with the snow. She ran happily and looked curiously at her father and mother, not knowing what they were doing.

“My dear, get a little bigger.”, “Not enough snow.”, “Snow from the front yard too?”, “Not much, I think we’ll make a mini version.”, “Oh! This ghost weather … God, Ke Ke’s first snowman.”, “We will go to Park City to play snow in a few days. The United States has experienced warm winter this year.
