From Venice to Toronto to New York, "gravity" has been soaring, and when the film is officially released, people have already expected the arrival of a frenzy of praise, at least in the professional media, there should not be too many surprises, but when it actually happened, the wave of praise from the mass media, veteran fans and ordinary audiences still lived up to expectations.

The comprehensive evaluation of the media, 99 points, undoubtedly made history.

The freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes was scored by 328 mass media, with a freshness rating of 97 percent, and an average final score of 9.3 percent; in horizontal comparison, the freshness of "Avatar" was 83 percent, with an average score of 7.5. The lead in "gravity" is all-round.

From professional media to mass media, sweep all the way!

IMDB's senior audience rating, after the website officially opened the rating, the audience who watched the movie early in the previous three film festivals and premieres scored it for the first time, and the number of ratings quickly exceeded 10,000, and then the website detected that nearly 2,000 netizens maliciously brushed a low score, and after clearing this part of the score, it was temporarily more than 8,000 scores, and the score was currently fixed at 8.5.

At present, the score of "Avatar" is 7.8 points, and it has not been able to rank among the 250 masterpieces, while "Gravity" has not been able to enter the list for the time being because the number of ratings does not meet the standard. But if you look at it with a score of 8.5, this score can be among the top 50 of the two hundred and fifty masterpieces, which cannot be compared with "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Inception", but it has reached the height of the premiere of "The Avengers".

Obviously, it is mainly Don Quixote and festival enthusiasts who are scoring the scores, which are a bit inflated and will inevitably fall back then, but it is undeniable that the first wave of comments on "gravity" is still amazing, and this is the first time this year.

In addition, the popcorn index above Rotten Tomatoes, "gravity" has temporarily reached 90 percent, and in terms of theater scores, it has rushed to "A", both of which are inferior to "Avengers", but basically the same as "Avatar" - the popcorn index is slightly higher.

For commercial films, the popcorn index exceeds 80%, which is basically reassuring, and the theater score expects "A" or "A-", if it can reach "A+", it is naturally perfect, but there are only a handful of works that can achieve such results every year, even if it is only "A", it is already a rare achievement.

From veteran fans to ordinary audiences, the whole line is popular!

With such a frenzied viewing feedback, it easily surpassed this year's summer file "Iron Man 3" and became the best hit of the year, and compared to other highly anticipated but terrible and disappointing summer works, "Gravity" seems to be the most suitable choice for summer viewing, so why didn't Warner Bros. schedule this work in the summer file?

This is a question worth studying slowly.

Returning to the topic of "gravity", everything from the history-making premiere to the review feedback that swept through the army was a sign that it was going to be a box office bomb.

"Lan Li-Hale has done it again!"

This is an editorial from the New York Times, written by Bradley Adams, which mentions all of Blue Rite's work so far, culminating in this year's "Drunken Country Folk" and "Gravity", the former of which received numerous accolades at Cannes, and the latter led the awards season, proving once again the law of "Born by Blue Rites, Guaranteed Works".

It seems that before the official start of filming of each of Lan Li's works, people are wondering and speculating: Will this work become Lan Li's Waterloo?

At the end of last year, "Detachment" encountered a word-of-mouth divergence between ice and fire, and the box office performance could only be regarded as decent, far less sharp than the shock brought by other previous works, which was also considered a "failure" by many people - a failure for Lan Li, who created countless miracles, but did not expect that "Detachment" completed the overtake in the sprint stage of the college's public relations, winning the Best Actor nomination for Lan Li for the third consecutive year.

This year, the two works of "Drunken Country Folk" and "Gravity" swept away the haze, and re-stood in front of the public with an absolutely strong and absolutely domineering attitude, once again proving their unique vision of film selection, continuing the consistent "undefeated myth", not to mention how the box office performance, now at the stage of word-of-mouth, Lan Li has already won.

Bradley concludes the article by saying, "It's time to start looking forward to 'Burst Drummer,' and besides, are the rumored works in the industry picking the Blue Rites, or are the Blue Rites picking them? ”

From perfect reviews to feature stories, the New York Times has added a flame to the "gravity" debate, and expectations are breaking through the sky step by step. All of this is signaling that the box office explosion is already on the way.

The only worry now is: Does the box office potential of the autumn stalls really exist? Is it that the "gravity" that has created countless miracles cannot defeat the laws of the market, just like a mud cow entering the sea, just drowned in the bleak autumn stalls? It is not for nothing that there are works that have received rave reviews but have a mediocre box office, will "gravity" become another "superman returns"?

In 2006, Warner Bros. invested heavily in "Superman Returns" and landed in the summer file, with a media comprehensive rating of 72 points, a freshness rating of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a mass media score of 7 points.

But as a result, the work cost Warner Bros. more than $150 million.

So, can the box office potential of "gravity" be fully unleashed in the autumn season? Or does "gravity" have the box office potential that everyone expects?

On Friday, October 4th, "Gravity" was officially released, and on the same day, another blockbuster work, "Reversal of the Ace", was released.

When it comes to "reversal aces", we have to mention Ben Affleck.

At the beginning of this year, the counterattack of "Escape from Tehran" at the Oscars caused countless topics of discussion, and Affleck, whose acting career has been at a low point for many years, completed the feat of turning over in one fell swoop, and all kinds of invitations returned to the table after a lot of hardship.

On the one hand, Affleck is beginning to prepare for his next directorial work, on the other hand, the actor's career has also reopened, after Kevin Tsujihara took over as CEO of Warner Bros., there are even rumors in the industry that he hopes that Affleck can play Batman, which is Kevin's olive branch to Affleck -

As we all know, without Jeff Robinoff, there would be no Ben Affleck. Affleck's three directorial works so far are all directly related to Robinoff, and even Robinoff used his career as a guarantee to open the way for Affleck. But now that Warner Bros. has changed dynasties, Affleck must make his own choice.

Of course, Kevin chose Affleck, obviously not only because of Robinoff, but also because he thinks Affleck is the best candidate for Batman. Much more reliable than the blue rites that Barry Meyer considered.

However, the rumors are still rumors for the time being, and there is no wind in the industry to prove it, let alone implement it.

Back to the "Reverse Ace" project, a collaboration between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's "Boston Gang" members Brain-Koppelman and David Levien.

Brian and David are screenwriters, actors, producers and directors, but their main job is still screenwriters, they have collaborated with Affleck and Matt in works such as "The King of Gamblers" and "Ocean's Thirteen", and can only be said to be mediocre screenwriters in the industry, but relying on the "Boston Gang", they can always find projects, and the same is true for "Reversal Ace".

The movie is inspired by the classic poker movie "Winning 21" and tells a story about a Texas Hold'em scam. Unfortunately, the script project didn't get much attention, and in the end, relying on Affleck's matchmaking, Twentieth Century Fox was willing to invest $30 million and build the entire crew.

The director chose Brad-Furman, who has only made a "Lincoln Lawyer" the year before last, and this is his second time as a director, but the cast relies on Affleck's name to find Justin Timberlake, Gemma-Arterton and Anthony-Mackie to join.

To put it simply, this is a work in which Fox and Affleck have a good relationship in the twentieth century, mainly to let Affleck play handsome and enjoy the aura of an actor again.

However, Twentieth Century Fox is still very hard in the early stage of publicity, allocating a lot of resources, although the investment cost is only 30 million US dollars, there are 3,100 theaters for the release, which can be said to be of the same magnitude as "gravity";

It's a pity that the movie's word-of-mouth has completely hit the streets.

With a comprehensive media rating of 36 points, a freshness index of only 8% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 4% rating on mass media, Affleck was once again scolded bloody, and almost everyone thought that he should stick to his job as a director and give up the challenge of being an actor, because he is really a very bad actor

However, even in this situation, no one can predict the premiere box office of "Reverse Ace", after all, at this year's Oscars, he is definitely in the limelight and back to the peak of the discussion.

What's more, "Reversal of the Ace" and "Gravity" are two completely different film genres, so what choice will the box office market make? Although no one cares about this showdown at all, the showdown is inevitable!
