It is not only the champion of this week's "Kung Fu Panda", but also the "Star Wars Prequel 3", which has been released worldwide, and in just one day, it has frantically collected 50,013,800 North American box office!

It has set a lot of records, such as the first place in the box office history on the opening day, winning the second place last year's "Spider-Man 2" of 40.44 million nearly 10 million, the other party is 4152 theaters, "Star Wars Prequel 3" 3661, the other party is Wednesday, and it is Thursday, which also makes it the new Thursday film history box office champion, the original "Matrix 2" held the record with 37.5 million, if calculated according to its opening day results accounted for 13.3% of the final North American box office, "Star Wars Prequel 3" The North American box office can get a forecast of more than $380 million!

If calculated according to 10.0% of "Star Wars Prequel 2", it can even receive 500 million North American box office! Is there any doubt about who this year's annual North American champion is? Is there still any doubt about the summer champion? "War of the Worlds", which claims to collect 1.8 billion global box office? "Firefly", which is either magical or dead and mysterious to the end?

On the 19th, all the most hardcore Star Wars fans were dispatched, and Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and others must also be rushing to watch this final chapter, which is the last film in the Star Wars series witnessed by George Lucas, 1977 "Star Wars: A New Hope", 1980 "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back", 1983 "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi", 1999 "Prequel 1: The Phantom Menace", 2002 "Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones", this year, this summer, Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith!

In any case, the sky is raining nuclear bombs, World War III is out, and Resident Evil is full of zombies on the streets, anything is good, this one must not be missed! This is the consensus of Star Wars fans around the world, and it also has the glory of "Star Wars Prequel 3" today.

As the darkest, heaviest, most depressing, and most brutal war scene of the Star Wars series in the propaganda, George Lucas self-evaluated that it "will be full of darkness and sadness", and its evaluation in the film critics has reached a new height in the prequel trilogy, George Lucas has been accused of "destroying the Star Wars series" for several years, "stuck in the 80s cliché", "naïve like a youth school movie", "improper choice of actors", etc., Anakin did not have a good ending, but he finally had a good ending.

IMDB has a high score of 8.0, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes popular film reviews is 80%, and the freshness of well-known film reviews is 67%, and two bright red and edible good tomatoes have been harvested, but the tone of film critics is not sensible even if it is praised, "The last Star Wars of George Lucas, there are so many 6 in the series, and now it feels like yelling: Rewind is over!", Ken Tucker of New York Magazine said: " Lucas is a brilliant technician and a poor philosopher, and longs for it to be great. Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Albert seems to be fighting back on Lucas: "George Lucas has achieved some artist accomplishments who have created and filled a new world. ”…… The audience likes it by 64%, and the fans have very mixed feelings about it, some hardcores are so sad that they almost cry, for Anakin becoming a black knight, for the end of the Star Wars series, and there are also hardcores who scold while watching it, Hayden Christensen's lame acting, Anakin's far-fetched transformation, the poor script, etc., and calmly say that it is the best film after "The Empire Strikes Back", and it is also the best or second best of the four films directed by Lucas ("Star Wars 2") directed by Lucas's teacher Irvin Kershner, and "Star Wars 3" by Richard Marquander).

Although the box office is amazing, but looking at the 63% liking of "Prequel 1" and 69% of the liking of "Prequel 2", the prequel trilogy has a mixed reputation except for the visual effects that everyone gave a thumbs up, and the media often can't comment on whether the prequel is a success or a failure, after all, its box office is there.

It is widely recognized that "Revenge of the Sith" is very likely to be the highest-grossing film of the summer this year, but no one says that it is very likely to be the best sci-fi film, let alone be shortlisted for an important Oscar award, but there will definitely be a place for Best Picture and Best Director at the Saturn Awards for sci-fi and horror films.

In 2000, George Lucas was nominated for Best Director at the Saturn Awards, Cheapest Director and Worst Screenplay, and in 2003 he did it all over again, winning the Best Screenplay trophy definitively. This time, the 80%/67% freshness is enough for the great director to escape the irony of the Golden Sour Plum Award, and it can be regarded as not disappointing the TOP10 of various expectation lists, and the champion has landed safely.

The best sci-fi films of the summer?What will happen to next year's Saturn Awards?Now fans who follow these off-screen tidbits are waiting to see Wang Yang, Steven Spielberg, and Darren Aronofsky.

The champion of "Kung Fu Panda" and the runner-up of "Star Wars Prequel 3", the two movies accounted for a total of 130 million in the North American market this week, but the two tigers are fighting, and there will be other flowers and pond fish that will suffer, especially the weekly total is only 221 million, the third "Monster Mother-in-law" only has 20.82 million first-week box office, the fourth "Football Daddy" is 15.47 million, and the fifth "Wolf Dog Danny" is 10.72 million, relative to the cost of 45 million, the starring Jet Li and others have been hit.

"The production cost of 10 million is enough, the filming location is set in San Francisco, the tax over there is okay, what else does it cost a lot of money besides the salary? Haha yes, after the cost of 200 million, change the taste and eat something light and cool. ”

These days, Wang Yang is busy with "Fireflies" While busy with the preparation of a new movie, modern urban romance movies definitely need a city to shoot, he finally chose his site San Francisco, he always thinks that San Francisco is the most beautiful, romantic and humanistic city on the West Coast, and it is the most suitable for shooting romance films; At the same time, she can leave Hollywood and leave Los Angeles for a period of time, so that Jessica can rest assured and quietly raise the baby, but she doesn't agree very much, she has no friends in San Francisco, and she doesn't want to stop all work completely, it seems very incompetent.

In addition to work, Wang Yang put all his thoughts on how to take care of his wife, who is in her third month of pregnancy, including not knowing that Natalie is cooperating with him again, there is a little sudden worry that "housewives are incompetent and will be despised and disliked by her husband", he not only encouraged her to do some work that he could and was happy about, such as community activities in public welfare and charity, but also refused her to work hard to show her earning ability, there was no need for that.

And he understands that he wants her to enjoy the long-awaited pregnancy and happiness happily, and the important point is praise: "Don't you think you are getting more and more beautiful now?" Jessica, who was sitting at the dresser, grinned toothily and gently combed her brown hair with a comb: "Yes, dear, I want to dye my hair pale blonde, how about it? It seems that pregnant women can't dye their hair, I've read magazines that say that hair dye affects the baby's development......"

Wang Yang, who was standing next to him, listened for a while, and said, "Wait until the baby is given birth and then dye," and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't move!" Jessica, who was halfway through her hair, was stunned, and Wang Yang spun around in surprise: "Wow, that's it! This action, this demeanor, this angle! It's great, I'm going to take a picture of it! This is motherhood!" In fact, he does think that pregnant women have their own unique beauty, but their tone is exaggerated: "Sweetheart!" That's why I keep saying 'pregnant women are the most beautiful', and once again it's clear ......"

"Really?" Listening to his words, Jessica couldn't help but curl her mouth, ruining that look, but the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more pleasing it became.

Day by day, May 20th-26th quickly came to an end, this week almost all movie theaters around the world are singing the one-man show of "Star Wars Prequel 3", entering the first ranks of North America's fastest box office to 100 million (3 days), the fastest to 150 million new first place (4 days), the fastest to 200 million new first place (8 days), crazy sweep across North America! It unstoppably received 150.4 million US dollars this week, with an average of 41,090 yuan per theater in 3,661 theaters, and the total box office soared to 200.4 million in 8 days!

In addition to the remaining Japan (July 9), just one day after its release in South Korea (May 26), "Star Wars Prequel 3" won the box office in Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and other places simultaneously, and topped the weekly list, collecting $145.5 million in the opening weekend, soaring to 184.7 million in a week, and the global box office is already 385.1 million, and then looking at its production cost of 113 million, this horror achievement is really enviable!

For so many years, there is only one "Star Wars", and I can't envy it; what is even more enviable is that of course it failed to win the championship and ranked second, "Kung Fu Panda", no other new film dares to be released on a large scale and collide with "Star Wars" head-on, "Monster Mother-in-law" and other films are still not competitive, so "Kung Fu Panda" took away 50.21 million North American box office the next week with difficulty and ease, and Panda Po is still the darling of children and friends.

As a new animated film, and it is in the summer vacation of strong rivals, the overseas distribution of "Kung Fu Panda" needs to be carried out slowly, and this week it is more to avoid the edge of "Star Wars", it is only released in some countries that are not box office and the market is generally interested in this movie, while winning the weekly champion in South Korea, it received 20.54 million worldwide in a week, and the overseas box office rose to 47.24 million in two weeks, and the global box office rose to 178 million US dollars, another super-blockbuster film of Flame Movie.

“Oh~~Oh~~Everybody-is-kung-fu-fighting——Your-mind-bes-fast-as-lighting——”

On May 27th, a new weekend arrived! Seeing that one of the most powerful shockwaves of "Star Wars" has gone, the cartoon "Madagascar" and the comedy "The Longest Yard" have joined the North American battlefield; and due to the time difference, long before Wang Yang and Jessica enjoyed the sunshine of the 27th, "Kung Fu Panda" has been released in many theaters in Chinese mainland, 21% in the Sina survey Netizens who support the boycott ignore it, distinguish between right and wrong or don't care about what boycott or not to boycott at all, as long as they take advantage of the weekend to watch a movie happily, 75% of netizens who do not support the boycott and 4% who do not care about it become moviegoers.

"Hahaha!" The audience in the packed screening hall burst into laughter, whether it was the original version or the dubbed version, whether it was Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shanghai, Beijing, the mainland audience enjoyed the fun brought by Panda Po and others, and enjoyed this love letter from the flame and blue sky.

Fortunately, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was not so confused as to ban anything, otherwise where would the laughter of the wise and calm audiences in these theaters come from? In Taiwan, the long-publicized "Kung Fu Panda" was released at the same time, and the audience was equally happy and laughed at the humorous lines and funny scenes.

It's almost June, schools all over the world have begun to have summer vacations one after another, and "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Kung Fu Panda", "Madagascar", "The Longest Yard" have been released in theaters, and "Iron Fist Man", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Batman", "Firefly" and ...... It's time for war!
