Nicole Kidman's comedy "A Fairy Wife" is a complete tragedy, with a 25%/20% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, and the Chicago Sun's stubborn old man Roger Albert quipped, "What are you looking for? There's not a single movie here, just a few piled up scenes." With an audience liking rating of 39 percent, official fan critic Bessanie Murphy said, "It's horrible! "A bad movie made by Colombia for 85 million......" This movie is a cute and beautiful hillbilly. Roger Albert commented on Lindsay Lohan's new film "King Crazy" with a 42%/47% freshness and 51% likeability, and fan critic Alexandre DiMania said: "Compared to "Crazy Speed", it should be thrown in the trash, and Wonder Young can't even clean up this pile of vomit from the mean girl." "The sports comedy has become another tragedy, a bad movie made by Disney/Bowei for 50 million...... "Land of the Living Dead", which has a freshness of 74%/66%, seems to be a little better? The audience liking rate of 52% announces the birth of a doomsday zombie-themed sci-fi bad film with a global investment of 15 million, and the "father of modern zombie movies" horror master George A. Romero continues to fall gorgeously in the new century.

None of the three new films survived, none of them had the power to collect box office, and what is even more tragic is that there is now a "horror movie" "Firefly" on the top that keeps making "wahahaha" demon king laughter, and the box office results of the three films are naturally worse, and this weekend's North American battlefield is still dominated by the demon king!

101.8 million! "Firefly" performed a miracle in 4,065 North American theaters! After setting a string of new box office records, its second weekend continued to perform frighteningly and unexpectedly, averaging $25,043 per theater, and the box office trend was only -36.1%! North American box office soared to 338.3 million in 10 days after its release!

"WOW, OH MY GOD!", "DEAR GOD!", "HAT-THE-HELL!", "IS THIS AN April Fool's Day joke!?...... This is the first time in film history that a movie has received more than 100 million US dollars at the box office in the second week of the opening! 101.8 million defeated the original champion "Shrek" of 72.17 million, the original runner-up "Spider-Man" of 71.41 million, and the original third runner-up "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" of 57.48 million, they all stepped back one place, and the champion belongs to the new king "Firefly"!

This crazy result moved to the opening week rankings, and in a showdown with a number of films, it was even ranked sixth in film history, followed by the 102 million "District 9"! There is no doubt that "Firefly" is already the most commercially successful film in North America after the change in the film projection model! There is no one.

"Firefly" broke a series of North American box office records, the three main of which were:

One: The new champion (338.3 million) of the golden opening 10 days, which defeated the 236.9 million of "Star Wars Prequel 3" and 225.1 million of "Spider-Man 2" not long ago;Two: The box office reached $250 million (8 days), before "Star Wars Prequel 3" 11 days, "Spider-Man 2" 12 days, "Shrek 2" 13 days; Three: The fastest to $300 million (9 days), before "Star Wars Prequel 3" 17 days, "Shrek 2" 18 days, "Spider-Man 2" In 19 days, they were suddenly advanced by their opponents by more than a week.

No one knows where the Tranquility is going!

On the IMDB-TOP250 list, Firefly is still bursting with incredible energy, with a score of 9.6 (315,628 rated users) and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness of 97%/100% (194/200), The Daily Telegraph's Sukh Devsand said: "At first I thought it was hype, but when I walked out of the theater, I came back to my senses and realized that I had just watched an epic that would sting the Oscars." Audience Likes 98% (572,146 rated users), fan critic Colin M said: "It's not overrated, I forgot to breathe for a minute or two and found myself crumbling in my seat before recovering......"

Warner Bros. did not wait for a miracle to appear, this weekend "Batman: Time to War" continued to rank second, continuing to Shakespearean tragedy to collect 13.79 million box office, the box office trend -42.89% is by no means a sign of recovery, the North American box office was 68.21 million in 12 days after its release, the third "Family with a Fairy Wife" was 12.31 million, which can be described as a mess at the word-of-mouth box office, and the fourth "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was 10.02 million, and the trend was stable, down only 13.84% ...... "Wow! The superhero of superheroes - Amazing Young!", "This guy is crazy!", "I just can't stop following him! I just can't!", "It seems that I knew Wang Yang many years ago, and now I see that he is only 25 years old!I can't speak!...... 10 days ago, Wang Yang was still a highly questioned "outdated director", and the fierce film critics were ready to rush forward and beat him to death;

Ten days later, he and "Firefly" are telling new myths! People love stories like this, they like young heroes like this, and they never get tired of hearing them.

Miraculous Young has once again become the hottest topic in the United States, even the NBA Finals that just ended on June 24 (San Antonio Spurs 4:3 Detroit Pistons), Tim Duncan, who won the MVP, and the Spurs who held the trophy high are not as attractive as him, and the whole of America and North America are crazy for him!

The global "Firefly" craze is also continuing! In the second weekend, the interstellar cowboys once again won the top spot at the screen box office in dozens of countries and regions, and lawlessly received $179.2 million! The weekend drop was only 8.1 percent, an exciting figure! You must know that "Star Wars Prequel 3," which was released simultaneously around the world, is 57.7 percent! There is no doubt that "Firefly" has shown that the overseas market is far higher than that of North America, and it is faintly about to become the most commercially successful film in the world in recent years.

The sequel to the series has accumulated fame and popularity, and it is not the sequel to the series that has more room for imagination and explosiveness, this interstellar sci-fi masterpiece is like a snow-white white paper, on which audiences around the world write miracles to their heart's content.

In this miracle, I have to mention the credit of the IMAX giant screen, sometimes the change is so fast, so fierce, it only takes a movie, only need to let the audience know that there is this thing, know that "the giant screen is an incomparable special enjoyment, the whole movie world is like standing in front of your eyes", so explosive.

In the past three days, the 64 North American giant screens that were full of 10.25 million contributed to the box office, and the 71 overseas screens also had an astonishing 12.56 million, and the world's 135 commercial giant screens were in full swing!

"Firefly" is already a milestone in the history of IMAX films, and it is very likely to win the title of "the first IMAX film in history to break 100 million at the global box office".

Flame Films and IMAX have teamed up to complete the transformation of Hollywood blockbusters from passive DMR to active production, turning into a 2D version of 35mm DMR+IMAX, as well as a converted IMAX-3D version (a new technology launched by IMAX on March 14, 2005), and tickets for both ways of watching movies are selling out like crazy!

"We're doing our best. Lately, IMAX boss Greg Foster has been saying this excitedly, trying his best to arrange more screenings for "Firefly"!

Seeing that it took 10 days to surpass the global box office of "The Polar Express", and seeing the company's stock price rising every day, of course he couldn't wait to screen this magical movie 24*7! However, because of strategic cooperation, contract execution, and other reasons, there was obviously no audience, and the giant screen in the theater had to arrange screenings for several DMR-based films such as "Batman"; besides, the IMAX film disc of "Firefly" could not withstand the consumption of showing from morning to night.

However, according to Greg Foster, IMAX has successfully persuaded a small number of museums, science museums and other academic institutions to make special collaborations and try to arrange some screenings of "Firefly...... IMAX's credit is not only for the box office itself, but also for creating countless topics and attracting the unanimous attention of the global media public.

The Chinese media called "Firefly" "epoch-making", and there was a lot of hype in China, and it seems that if you don't watch this movie, you are not as simple as being outdated, you are living in vain. It's a pity that there is only a commercial IMAX giant screen hall in the whole mainland, although there are countless enthusiastic audiences who are willing to spend 100 yuan to watch a movie, but the city where they are located does not provide this opportunity!

Nevertheless, the performance of "Firefly" in Asia is really amazing and eye-catching! Audiences in China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and other places are crazy about it, what a different Hollywood blockbuster! It has Asian-American stars and is not a villain clown, has traditional Chinese culture, and has oriental artistic conception and emotion...... Not counting its praise in Europe and the United States, this is already the best and best blockbuster, except for a small number of Yang Hei who shouted "boycott Wang Yang" and "He is ABC has nothing to do with us", the whole people are dispatched!

No matter where it is, "Firefly" swept all records! The recently released "Initial D" was unfortunately shot in the head, just like the war situation in the North American battlefield, it became cannon fodder in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in the three places where it was released!

The same 90 Hong Kong screens, it only received 6.32 million Hong Kong dollars (813,200 US dollars) in this opening weekend, ranking second, and the champion belonged to "Firefly", which collected 24.55 million Hong Kong dollars (3.16 million US dollars) the following week! The total box office in 10 days was as high as 66.21 million Hong Kong dollars (8.52 million US dollars)! On the weekend list of June 25-26, "Initial D" won 3.23 million New Taiwan dollars (103,000 US dollars) in 15 theaters in Taipei, ranking third, "Firefly" won the championship with NT$38.3 million (US$1.22 million) in 20 theaters, and the total box office in Taipei soared to NT$161.3 million (US$5.14 million) in 10 days!

The box office statistics system in the mainland is not so clear, but according to the reporter of the "Beijing Morning Post", the distributor China Film Group, "Initial D" received 3 million yuan on the first day, and before the opening day of "Firefly" exceeded 20 million, breaking 100 million yuan in the first week and 150 million yuan (18.12 million US dollars) in 10 days, it is also very expected to surpass the top two "Heroes" of 250 million and "Titanic" of 359.5 million in the total list of film history, becoming the new champion!

The total box office of China's cross-strait and three places combined is 31.78 million US dollars, accounting for 7% of the current total overseas box office of 448.3 million, and this proportion may become larger and larger...... What "boycott" has long been a topic that has been going on for too long, and now the program is to praise the magic of Yang!! the situation in various countries is really similar, and there are many media critics, movie fans, and celebrity fans, who have sent all kinds of exclamations and praises, fascinated and crazy for the young man of this movie.

In 10 days, "Firefly" collected 786.6 million US dollars at the global box office, does anyone on this earth think that it cannot enter the 1 billion global box office club? I'm afraid that the grandmothers who don't usually care about movies will know: "What kind of drama is "Firefly"?

This is a supernatural phenomenon, a new miracle that is happening, a new phenomenon of the new age!

BUT THE STUDIOS WERE ALL SCARED! HAT-THE-HELL! And the distributors could all notice that there were only 58 overseas markets for "Firefly"! There were more than 50 markets profitable for such "phenomenal", "idol", and "epoch-making" films!

Originally, Flame Films did not plan to enter these small markets, and at the same time lacked distribution channels and publicity resources, but since there are a bunch of companies fighting to the death for these overseas distribution rights, Flame will not be stupid to refuse. In the past few days, all the staff of the distribution department have been busy, and the directors have negotiated with major companies such as Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox, and handed over the rights of more than 50 overseas markets except Japan to them to operate, which can be regarded as a share of the benefits and leftovers of the big fish in this storm.

It is expected that in a week or two, the scale of the release of "Firefly" will exceed 100 countries and regions, and no matter what, the beneficiary is the film.

The American edition of Time magazine is warmly inviting Wang Yang to appear on the cover of the magazine for the third time, he was 19 years old when he first appeared on the cover, 22 years old the second time, and now he is again three years later! Now he is the youngest Oscar Best Director, married to his sweetheart girlfriend who grew up and reunited, is about to welcome his first child at the end of the year, and directed such an exaggerated storm...... "Time" feels that there are too many topics that cannot be missed, fortunately, the busy man Wang Yang agreed to the invitation.

Although this magazine has a very large influence, whether Wang Yang wants this icing on the cake or not is just a matter of mood, of course, he can't find any reason to refuse. However, he has been very busy lately, with the promotion of "Firefly" and the preparation of a new movie, and at this time he is being interviewed by KAL Radio (mainly serving the San Francisco Bay Area), and the reason why he is so "downgraded" is inseparable from the fact that he used to like to listen to this station.

"Yang, will you make a sequel to "Firefly"?" The program has come to the live connection part of interacting with the audience, in the bright radio studio, hearing the male listener's question, Wang Yang sighed for a while, and said truthfully to the microphone on the table: "I am still interested in "Firefly" and the world and characters, but for the time being, everything I want to express is in "Firefly", that is, only the enthusiasm for making the setting, I can't find what I want to say, this is not a good directing state, you know...... Maybe I should go back to USC. ”

The many listeners who listened to the show through various channels couldn't help but wonder that Wang Yang was not going back to USC to study, but looking for a teacher to pick up the formalities, just like Lucas found Irving Kershner, who made the most classic of the Star Wars series, "The Empire Strikes Back." The hostess next to her, Loren Mertz, laughed when she heard this: "Jan, we all hope that it will be up to you." ”

"It's too early to say that. Wang Yang smiled, although he had already made up his mind, he didn't want to dampen the audience's expectations and enthusiasm for "Firefly", and said with a smile: "Anyway, I will definitely have a new job." Loren Merz quipped, "Thank you!" ”

The next girl made a call that couldn't be hotter, and a lively and pleasant young female voice sounded excitedly from the earphones of the two: "Magical Yang!!Oh my God!!I'm talking to you, oh my God——!!!" Wang Yang smiled: "Yes, hello!" The girl's words became even more messy, and her voice trembled: "Oh my God!!! I've been calling this phone from the beginning, and I've been calling and calling...... You're amazing!!I love you so much!!Oh my God!!Fireflies are so good!!Oh my God......"

"Thank you!" Wang Yang laughed repeatedly, and Loren Mertz helped her to ask: ""Firefly" is about to break 800 million global box office, Yang, how do you feel?" The female audience suddenly asked happily: "Yes! Yes! I have watched three shows! I like Captain Whirlwind so much!!"

"I feel good! In fact, we were confident in it before it was released, and we believed it would be a big hit! But the current situation, seriously, is a pleasant surprise. Wang Yang smiled and said his true feelings, these 10 days have been so sunny! The response of his baby daughter and the film to the box office made him so happy that he was almost melting! He didn't know where "Firefly" would go, and now everything has exceeded expectations, who knows? He smiled: "We are just doing our job, doing everything according to the best, and then waiting for the harvest, and now it seems that the results are brilliant! Thank you very much for all this." ”

Loren Merz said, "Thank you! ”…… The more brilliant this achievement, the more crazy this summer becomes! Worldwide, in order to go to the IMAX giant screen hall to see the shock of "Firefly", there are many fans and viewers who have traveled dozens or hundreds of kilometers, and even taken a plane and train to the target city to watch the movie: "Go see Wang Yang!", "Go see "Firefly"!" However, the Japanese audience can only sigh and go crazy, why should they not see this movie until August?! "War of the Worlds" can be seen simultaneously on June 29, but they want "Firefly"!!

The global release date of "War of the Worlds" is approaching on June 29, but the people who care about it have suddenly disappeared, and only a group of fans with fierce eyes say: "It's another ghost of the interstellar cowboy!"
