The matrix box office collapses! “The Matrix Resurrections” was screened in 7 countries in the first week overseas, and the box office was only $9.2 million! Among them, Japan is US$4.2 million and Russia is US$3.9 million.
“The Matrix Resurrections” reached the top in Japan because it did not have the crush of “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, but this is a phenomenal drop in box office compared to the first week of the trilogy!
“The Matrix 2: Reloaded” in Japan’s first week of box office reached 18.8 million US dollars, and this highest record has been maintained for 18 years.
The box office of “The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution” also reached US$15 million in the first week.

This time Warner deliberately put “The Matrix Resurrections” in Japan in advance, but its reputation and box office collapsed. It seems that Warner’s calculation was wrong.
In fact, “The Matrix Resurrections” lacks sincerity from creativity to production, a bit like a popcorn movie filmed by Netflix.
However, Netflix movies are only available online, and even the “Red Notice” with an investment of US$200 million will not be shown online in theaters, which can save a lot of publicity costs.

But Netflix has nearly 200 million global users, so it can already be said that it is the largest film distribution channel.
Of course, Warner also knows this well, so “The Matrix Resurrections” has decided to be released simultaneously on HBO MAX before filming.
“The Matrix” was supposed to be a classic sci-fi movie series with avant-garde and innovation as its selling points, but “The Matrix Resurrections” took feelings as a gimmick, and almost remakes “The Matrix 1”.
This is really superfluous for the old audience who has watched the first trilogy, and it is not new to the new generation of audience who have not watched it.
After all, 20 years have passed, and this series has been re-enacted countless times by similar movies.
I feel a little bit worthless for Keanu Reeves to take over the film, this time the role is regarded as a “tool man”, let’s look forward to the “Quick Hunt” series starring him!
“The Matrix Resurrections” will be released simultaneously in North American theaters and streaming media on December 22 next week. It will be released in mainland China on January 14 next year. It is foreseeable that the box office will not be too good.
But for the Chinese mainland market, which hasn’t been released for a long time in Hollywood blockbusters, it may become the world’s largest ticket warehouse for this film.
