When "Twilight" was a box office hit last year, the industry had certain expectations for "The Hunger Games", not only because it came from the same author, but also because it dominated the New York Times bestseller list for a long time.

The new era also needs movies and characters that fit this era.

The role of women in this era also needs to be in line with the trend of social development.

Katniss is one such movie character that came into being at the right time.

Historically, women have often had to choose between success and likability, and even in a society like North America, which claims to be free and fair, the media and the public don't like women who boast of their high accomplishments.

This situation has changed in recent years, and some female self-improvement films have begun to appear in Hollywood, in which the setting of the heroine is no longer a happy silly big sister or a pure vase.

Gal Gadot is made into a strong and independent character in "The Hunger Games", she has a brave heart that is completely different from traditional female characters, and she also has a strong hand trained by long-term hunting, so she not only participates in this cruel game in place of her sister, but also escapes with a bow and arrow and a stunt.

Just like the interview question that Ronan once met Lindsay Beale for the first time, this character from Lindsay Beale does not need a man to save, but will save a man and even the world.

In the plot of the film, despite the help of male characters, Katniss herself is the key, with her tenacious will and unyielding spirit, she not only destroys the trap designed by her opponent, but also saves a string of supporting male characters by the way, showing the power of feminism to the fullest.

More importantly, she became the face of the class resistance of this world, exuding a spirit of rebellion and freedom all around her.

Katniss not only struggled all the way to show off his independent and strong spirit, but also incited the freedom of the whole people with the blood of raising his hand in salute at the critical moment.

The new era needs new roles, and the vigorous development of the feminist movement also requires new spokespersons.

Standing under the banner of freedom, Katniss shines with extraordinary light.

Although the monkeys in the animals are freer than these Americans living under the "prism gate", it does not prevent them from appreciating and liking the freedom in the movie.

Like "Twilight," "The Hunger Games" has a large audience among teenagers, and it actually has a wider audience than a pure Mary Sue, a big heroine movie that blends sci-fi and action dramas.

Although there are strong competitors such as "Thunder Fighting Dogs", "Australia" and "Extraordinary Human Traffickers 3" in the same schedule, the former two are also first-line commercial productions with an investment of 100 million US dollars+, but the first day of "The Hunger Games" in North America stunned everyone inside and outside the industry.

This dystopian movie of youth idols and heroines and sci-fi action earned $67.26 million at the box office in 4,122 theaters on Friday.

The popularity of "The Hunger Games" exceeded the most optimistic forecast of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan knew that this film had been a huge success and became the big cousin's commercial masterpiece, but he didn't expect it to be such a powerful box office bomb.

Because of the special experience, in Ronan's eyes, "The Hunger Games" is not as exciting as "Battle Royale", but it has scratched the heartstrings of North American audiences.

Even if "The Hunger Games" does not have the high ticket price bonus of 3D movies, and only the 2D version is screened, it will not stop the huge success of the movie.

This also set a single-day box office record in the North American film market in November, and even the "Harry Potter" series has not received a single-day box office of more than $60 million in November.

Other films released at the same time, after their first day of screening, unfortunately became the backdrop for the success of The Hunger Games.

The first is "Extraordinary Human Traffickers 3", a relatively popular action movie series in the international market, even if there is a prosperous beauty array, the response in North America has been average.

The third sequel earned only $3.32 million on its first day in North America.

Then there's Twentieth Century Fox's "Australia," where Nicole Kidman once again exposes the true nature of box office poison.

Last year, "The Golden Compass," in which she played the lead actress, cost $180 million to make, but the final box office in North America was only $70 million.

The failure of this film also made New Line Pictures' plan to create a new magic trilogy after the "Lord of the Rings" series come to naught, and Warner Bros., which controlled the purchase of New Line Pictures, was extremely dissatisfied with such a huge loss, and directly ousted Robert Shea from power, and New Line Pictures has since lost its independence and become a subsidiary completely controlled by Warner Bros.

Nicole Kidman's commercial films after winning the Oscar for Best Actress hit the streets one after another, and no one knows what Twentieth Century Fox thinks, in such a supergiant, she was invited as the heroine.

Maybe it's the Australian version of "Gone with the Wind", which needs an Australian actress.

Having said that, at present, Hollywood simply cannot support an Australian actress who can support a commercial blockbuster, and Cate Blanchett, another famous person, has never carried the heroine of a large-budget commercial film so far.

"Australia" pounced worse than "The Golden Compass", and only got $2.26 million on the first day of its release in North America.

Although it is only the first day of release, this number has amply proved that "Australia" has no saving value.

From "A Fairy Wife", to "The Golden Compass", to "Australia", Nicole Kidman has almost perfectly interpreted the Oscar-winning curse and achieved a triple fight of commercial films.

Ordinary women are like this, even first-line women, their careers are basically about to end, just like Halle Berry.

But Nicole Kidman is not ordinary, she will be very active in the future, and she doesn't have to worry about exposure, anyway, she can rely on the presence of the whip corpse.

As long as Tom Cruise is still popular, Nicole Kidman will remain a very active star in Hollywood, and there will be no shortage of attention.

By contrast, Walt Disney's "Thunder and Dogs" was the best box office of the three competing "The Hunger Games" films, earning $7.03 million on its first day of release, second on Friday's single-day box office list.

The ranking is good, but the box office numbers are not ideal.

Walt Disney spent $150 million on the production of "Thunder Dogs" alone, hoping to revive the glory of Disney Animation Studios, so that Disney Animation can truly transform computer animation.

But the first part of the plan fell into the pit, and it was still difficult to climb out.

Disney Animation Studio's most capable and traditional animation production team has switched to Relativity Entertainment for various reasons such as Disney's civil strife and lack of attention, and established a new Princess Animation Studio.

Today's Disney animation, if it wants to rise again, it is several times or even more than ten times more difficult than it used to be.

Relativity Entertainment has taken the road of Disney, Disney does not say that there is no way out, but it can only go other ways, but other roads are full of hardships.

"The Hunger Games" was a box office hit, and the word-of-mouth was also better than "Twilight", which is also a teen movie.

The film has naturally received high praise from the mainstream audience, with CinemaScore also giving it an A, including an A+ for 16-year-old teenagers, and in the eyes of critics, Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of 85% and a MetaCritic media review of 72 points also proves that the majority of positive reviews are positive.

Facts have also proved that whether a film will get a good reputation is sometimes not directly related to the quality of the film.

Many older film practitioners can't understand why such a movie, which does not have much brilliance in plot, thought, structure, and even actors' performances, can get such a high box office?

Perhaps, the survey data of Embassy Pictures can tell the story, "The Hunger Games" accounted for nearly 70 percent of the audience on the first day of North America.

Like the "Twilight" series, whether it is the script, film shooting and production, and promotion, the positioning of "The Hunger Games" is clear enough to accurately grasp the mainstream tastes of the target audience, and this part of the audience occupies a majority position in the film market, which is enough to ensure the audience base of "The Hunger Games".

"The Hunger Games" has revealed the characteristics of fan movies, and it inevitably brings the flaws of fan movies.

By Saturday, the film's single-day box office began to decline, even by more than 20 percent, with $50.39 million coming in on the day.

Even so, "The Hunger Games" still set a record for the opening of November in North American film history!

In the three days of the weekend, the film earned $152.54 million in 4,122 theaters, and fell to the top of the North American box office charts with a crushing attitude!

Compared with the cost, it is called a super box office hit.

Other films in the same schedule unfortunately fell victim.

"Extraordinary Traffickers 3" is not bad among overseas movies in North America, and the opening box office of $9.03 million is not low.

"Thunder Dogs" couldn't support Walt Disney's plan to revive Disney animation, earning only $25.12 million in the first three days of its opening weekend.

"Australia" was the most miserable, with only $10.98 million in its opening weekend, compared to the $130 million production cost, Twentieth Century Fox was another big hit.

Nicole Kidman is haunted by the Oscar curse, and Hugh Jackman also seems destined to leave Wolverine and hit the streets.

Behind the success of "The Hunger Games" is the pain and sorrow of the failure of Fox in the twentieth century.

Including a few Dragon Balls, from last summer to now, Twentieth Century Fox has had five first-line productions hit the streets.

Even the first-line big companies in Hollywood began to vomit blood in pain.

The success of The Hunger Games has had a huge impact.

Major entertainment media have used 'incredible' and 'box office miracles' to describe this film, even if Relativity Entertainment doesn't have to do much work, they are willing to use large articles on the front page to depict this incredible youth film

And the producers with flexible minds gradually feel that the era of youth films is coming.
