Chapter 378 is dead
Twentieth Century Fox is a glory, breaking 100 million in three days, surpassing the Godzilla premiere of $54 million in the first episode, $85 million in the second part, and $17 million in the third episode, which created a lot of pressure on "Superman Returns", which appeared a month later (based on the complex feud between the two films, it is difficult to compare them together).
The media is not optimistic about "Superman Returns" at all, since its premiere time on June 30, the World Cup has entered the semi-final stage, of course, the traffic shared by "European Athletic Sports" does not pose any threat to the "American Idol Blockbuster", but the real haze is that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead" opened a week after the return of "Red Underpants", which means that "Superman Returns" 's weekly championship career, in front of the sullen Captain Jack, is likely to be only a short week, although it includes the Independence Day slot that has been a battleground since ancient times, it is still heroic and short-lived, just a few more days.
In contrast, "X-Men 3" has no worries, first of all, this Monday's Memorial Day is a prime time on par with Independence Day, and the mutant agents have a lot to do, and the 90 million dollar start of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" directed by Steven Spielberg (three days of the premiere weekend + Memorial Day), a nine-year-long record held on Memorial Day, is finally going to *** Men 3 Rewrite, in the face of these major good news, how can Twentieth Century Fox suppress the complacency?
You can make a fortune in silence, but it's not good to laugh at others when you're rich, and it's very hateful to call people sexually impotent, impotence, and premature ejaculation, and no one can prove that it was Twentieth Century Fox, but under the fanfare of the media, there is no doubt about it, and several others will blame it on Twentieth Century Fox.
Warner Bros. President Barry first called MM President Iger: "Robert! Now people are for the box office, that's the bottom line, if we don't do something?
Iger said: "Yes, some people don't give a lesson, they really think that God is first and he is second! But this is not a matter of our two families, and Paramount has no doubt about the name of sexual impotence?"
Barry said: "I'll talk to Howard!" "X-Men" was a big hit, and there was a lot of pressure on the next "Superman Returns", so Barry was very concerned about this matter.
Iger reminded: "Disney's Michael is as vicious as a hate, and he can't get used to seeing some people run rampant once they get their will. ”
Since others have given an excuse to attack, it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity to fight back, but MM's hatred is as great as that of Jinge and Eisner, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward to lobby.
Barry understood and said, "I'll talk to Michael!"
After just a few words, the two giants reached an agreement, and the other two giant companies were also pulled in, and decided to teach some people who got carried away a lesson.
The huge success of the first three days of "X-Men 3" made Twentieth Century Fox up and down like a booster, facing the praise of the media, he did not doubt it, and appropriately put a few pieces of gold on his face, but since Tuesday, there have suddenly been many bad reviews and bad reviews on the market, from newspapers to television, from radio to the Internet, and there are a lot of bad reviews and bad reviews everywhere, as well as a large number of negative news about "X-Men 3".
For example, a certain actress plays a big name, often adding drama to herself and driving away the director.
Such as an empty, eye-catching stunt show, only stunts, no ideological connotation.
For example, professional film critics have counted the ten mistakes of "X-Men 3" .......
On TV, the audience was interviewed and said that the movie was very boring, fell asleep in the cinema, and regretted buying the ticket.
The vast majority of the interviewed viewers said that the movie was average, not as good as the previous work, and they all said that it was strange that the box office of the movie was so high.
And on IMBD, its score is as high as 9.8 points, which is so high that it crushes all other movies, a commercial popcorn movie, and has such amazing praise and high scores, it is really blind to the audience.
In the face of overwhelming bad reviews and attacks, Jim, president of Twentieth Century Fox, was stunned, like he was having a good time at a party, and was suddenly beaten by others, he hurriedly sent someone to find out what was going on, the other party's attack was extremely strong, so big that they couldn't resist it, and the overwhelming bad reviews and bad reviews drowned over like a huge wave, their crisis public relations was useless, and under absolute strength, any resistance was futile.
Jim ordered someone to investigate, only to find out that Warner, MM, Paramount, and Disty teamed up to engage in them, and this powerful lineup scared them, so he immediately called Warner Barry to ask why?
Barry said, "Just because you're allowed to spray our movies about sexual impotence, impotence, and kidney deficiency, aren't we allowed to express our opinions on your films?"
Jim said angrily, "When did we Fox do this kind of dirty thing, and what proof do you have that we did it?"
Barry asked rhetorically, "What proof do you have that we did something shady?"
There is no evidence for this kind of thing, and the way everyone judges is who is profiting and who is the mastermind.
Jim said angrily: "How can you do this, you don't ask the reason, go on a killing spree." ”
Barry said: "Don't talk nonsense, we don't do anything, everyone is in the media, can we still restrict people's freedom of speech?"
The system of the United States cannot restrict freedom of speech, but the media group can restrict its dissemination, and the power of the media group is to disseminate information that is beneficial to itself and block what is unfavorable to itself.
The four major media join forces, this dumb loss, Twentieth Century Fox is pinching its nose and swallowing it, they will only suffer if they fight, and if they ignore it, they will not be able to do it, and they will wait for an opportunity to seek revenge in the future, they can only hope that "X-Men" itself is strong, not afraid of black, not afraid of spraying, using facts to fight back against their wild spraying, and hitting them in the mouth with the box office.
But this is just wishful thinking, with a lot of negative information, so much bad news, fake also turned true, "X-Men 3: Last Stand" box office in the next week saw a big jump, plummeting 65 percent to only $34 million.
Falk was so angry that he vomited blood, this is a weekend that is not inferior to Memorial Day, including May Day, seven days is not as good as the box office on the first day, and a few days ago, Beimi, which was within reach, broke 300 million, and it became an impossible task, this kind of high-key and low-key, and a typical premature ejaculation.
Looking at the final box office of several North American films that exceeded $100 million in their premieres: "Spider-Man 1" $400 million, "Spider-Man 2" $370 million, "Star Wars Episode 3: Heath's Revenge" $380 million, "Shrek 2" $440 million, "Harry Potter 4: Goblet of Fire" $280 million, "Iron Man" broke 300 million in 26 days, and is still in theaters, the average of these films is about equal to the 370 million of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".
Even if "X-Men 3" does not maintain the above ideal level, it still has the box office potential comparable to "Harry Potter 4 Goblet of Fire", "Harry Potter 4 Goblet of Fire" has a media comprehensive rating of B+, and "X-Men 3" has a score of B-, which is slightly inferior in quality, but the later score of "X-Men" has soared, rising to the point of killing "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption" in seconds. The beer between them fell all the way to the bottom, so the comprehensive box office fell sharply, and a good show of high diving was staged.
Earlier, he also ridiculed the premature ejaculation of "The Da Vinci Code", and now that he is here, he can't laugh, "The Da Vinci Code" is not only popular in Beimi, but also triumphant overseas, and set the second highest opening record in global film history, which is enough to be enviable, but "X-Men" does not have such a good opening result in the first week, compared with the global box office, he is tens of millions less than the former.
In the face of such data, Twentieth Century Fox wants to die, they understand what it means to die if they don't die, "X-Men 3" through long-term screening, North Mi broke 200 million is not a big problem, the problem is that its production cost has reached an astonishing 210 million, not counting the announcement of success, which means that it cannot be returned through North Mi, but must break even through overseas markets, DVD revenue, TV licensing and other channels.
As a result, two of the five strong films in the early summer of this year lacked stamina, and the box office was unsatisfactory, and "Poseidon" became the first tragedy of the year, Warner Bros. lost so much that he wanted to cry, fortunately Mark came with "Iron Man", so that the box office in May maintained a considerable number, otherwise there were theater companies crying and shouting for death, and now it can be said that it is one of the top ten strongest films of the year, three out of five, and the media has to put their hopes on "Robot Story", the red panty guy and the sullen captain.
Until now, MM Group is still the most popular and beautiful film company in Hollywood, with "Iron Man" they have become the biggest winners at present, and what is even more enviable is that a series of peripheral products launched by Marvel are also selling well, and a set of thousands of Mark armor has also sold thousands of sets, and those commemorative posters, dolls, toys, stationery, and various life, office and learning supplies are more than 20 kinds, in the counter of Columbia's own cinema, these peripheral products are sold out.
MM's financial director told Iger: "Iron Man has leveraged at least 1.5 billion yuan of surrounding economic output value, directly bringing nearly 800 million US dollars in revenue to the group, and Chairman Mark Wang is our well-deserved cash cow." ”
"Yes, Mark," said Egger, "is the spiritual leader of our group. ”
David, who was participating in the meeting together, smiled: "Mark, I don't know what he's doing?"
Megan said angrily: "What else can you do? Of course, to be his super daddy." ”
