The Matrix Revolutions made a real splash
world wide when it opened on Wednesday. The first day profits for the third
installment in the Matrix trilogy brought in $43.1 million, the second
largest Wednesday opening in U.S. history.
The fact that the film was opened on a
monumental scale didn’t hurt. Warner Brothers expected the film to be a
big hit and as such they sent out a record 18,013 prints of the film to
96 countries in 43 languages.
Another PR move by Warner Bros, had the
film opening simultaneously around the world. These openings spanned from
Los Angeles (6:00 AM) to New York (9:00 AM) to England (2:00 PM) to Japan
(11:00 PM) to Australia (1:00 AM Nov. 6th).
