Chapter 660 wins the championship
With the launch of the MM "Transformers" universe concept, Mai copy is tied to the MM chariot, backed by the rich and powerful MM, Mai copy is like a fish in water, will you remember his tragic situation in "Escape from Clone Island"?
Now MM is doing everything in its power to promote "Transformers", and even the meeting between Mark and Giselle, which is the most concerned by the North American media, has been suppressed, MM claims that it will be announced at the appropriate time, and Mark, who was blocked by reporters, said that he has no comment, at least after the box office results of "Transformers 2" are released the next week.
Media people believe that they are afraid that this topic will take away the traffic and topicality of Transformers, and another possible reason is that this is a bad news, they are afraid that it will affect the company's stock price, and only the super selling "Transformers 2" is in hand, which can calm the bad news and prevent the stock price from falling.
The matter of Mark and Giselle is not a private matter for MM, but will be a major event that will affect the company's stock price.
On July 6, local time in the United States, the final revised data of the North Rice box office statistics agency for the previous week's North Rice box office was officially announced.
Due to the "tie" situation at the box office last weekend, "Ice Age 3" and "Transformers 2" surprisingly combined to collect $62.5 million (Ice Age is only more than 200,000 more), so Tuesday's revised box office became the focus of everyone's attention.
According to the revised data of the North Mi box office agency, "Transformers 2" defeated the little squirrel with a slight advantage of about 830,000 US dollars, re-ascended to the top, and successfully won the championship.
This is also the second time after entering the summer file that the champions and runners-up are different because of "the box office is too similar", and after the revised data is released. The last time was a few weeks ago, when the box office battle between "Cowboy vs. Alien" and the MM animated blockbuster "Flying House" also showed the frequency of such phenomena. Due to the problem of timeliness, the box office statistics agency of the United States will make statistics according to the "estimated value" of each company on Sunday local time, and publish the ranking list uniformly, and then make specific corrections in the future.
It is precisely because of this mechanism that it also triggered a war of words in Colombia in 2007 for the world premiere box office record of "Spider-Man 3", thus criticizing Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
However, this week's revised data gave birth to the second film "Transformers 2" to win the box office championship since entering the summer file, and the first one is "Cowboy vs. Alien", which was also troubled by "Correction Gate", which defeated "Flying House Travel" to win the box office championship after the box office data was revised four weeks ago, thus becoming the first consecutive champion since entering the summer file, and officially became the number one dark horse in the summer file.
Although the reviews of "Transformers 2" in the North Rice region have been rotten to the point of infiltration, the audience who hopes to witness the destruction of the scenes of artillery fire and fragments everywhere is still very face-saving and has contributed their own strength to the box office out of their own pockets.
MM's media, TV and the Internet have congratulated "Transformers 2" on winning the championship by a narrow margin.
Judging from the fact that the cumulative box office of 220 million US dollars in the first week easily won the championship, and is second only to "Night Knight", if you think that the box office of Beimi exceeds 400 million US dollars, it is still easy to say, in the next few weeks, it will not be very good.
Compared with the 450 million US dollars of the winning box office of "The Dark Knight" for four consecutive weeks, the box office of "Transformers 2" of 380 million US dollars is really low, and this week's box office income is only 13.6 million US dollars, and the preliminary determination of the final box office of "Transformers 2" will be locked at about 400 million US dollars, of course, the final box office will definitely be higher than 400 million US dollars, as for how much higher, the gap should not exceed 450 million.
"Transformers 2" has improved too much in stunts and plot, and "Transformers 1" has a global box office of 800 million US dollars, "Transformers 2" as the second part of a sequel film, the box office should not be lower than expected, and the second part in the North Mi series, the box office is quite important, and often the highest box office in the series of movies should be the second part.
For example, the first part of the "Shrek" series grossed $267 million, the second part of the North Mill box office was $444 million, the third part of the North Mill box office was about $350 million, the first part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was $270 million, the second part of the North Mill box office was $423 million, the third part of the North America box office was $313 million, and the first part of the "Spider-Man" series was $400 million, the second part of the North American box office was $380 million, and the third part of the North American box office was $350 million.
If the final box office of "Transformers 2" Beimi is really around $400 million, then the global box office should be about the same as the global box office of "Spider-Man 2", around $880 million.
Its biggest opponent for hitting a billion is "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", and this series has an extremely strong ability to attract money.
Since the release of "Transformers 1", "Harry Potter" has been stirring up the situation of "Transformers", and many websites say that the "Harry Potter" series is a frequent visitor to the North 300 million dollar club, but in fact, the "Harry Potter" series has not been more than 300 million US dollars in North Milan a few times, but the department has exceeded 200 million, and the average has passed 200 million.
In the release of "Transformers 1" in the North Ocean, because of the turmoil of "Harry Potter 5", "Transformers 1" almost exceeded 300 million US dollars, but fortunately, it finally passed, and today "Transformers 2" and "Harry Potter 6" are together, but the strength of "Harry 6" is indeed very strong, and its North Milan box office is likely to exceed the $300 million mark.
In fact, there is no need to talk about disruptive situations, this summer file is a must for film companies, each of the six giants has at least three to four A-level blockbusters released, who doesn't want to make a fortune at this time?
Now "Transformers 2" is still the highest-grossing work of the year, and he inherited the consistent tradition of Michael Bay's works, and was scolded by film critics, but this time its box office is so fierce and terrifying, it is indeed unexpected, it is so scolded, and it is actually scolded for 400 million box office (annual box office champion? or possibly global box office champion), which will make film critics feel ashamed, and their status is gradually decreasing, becoming dispensable.
In the past, film critics could decide the life and death of a movie, but now, it is really not possible, and the audience believes in advertising and beer, and believes in the word of mouth among friends.
Most of today's audiences understand that spending six or seven meters to go to the cinema and buy a glass of soda and popcorn generally costs between ten and fifteen yuan, and this money must be spent well to be reasonable.
The audience can watch the movie as long as it is cool, and film critics pay more attention to the artistry and connotation of the film, of course, this is also related to the consistent suppression of film companies and media groups.
They spend so much money to make a movie, and they also spend so much money on advertising, so they are naturally unwilling to give the initiative to film critics? The customer is God, and the audience is also God, but this film critic is not, they claim to be self-media people, but most of them rely on contributing to major newspapers and newspapers, and of course they are inevitably affected by the style and stance of the newspapers, so film companies and media groups have been committed to suppressing the influence of film critics, focusing on cultivating the audience's self-awareness and personality.
Like Mark's "Twilight" series, there are examples that completely violate all movie common sense, that is very many, Disney series of animated films, that is really naïve and shallow, but it is enduring for decades, becoming the most stable performance among the eight giants, the only company that has not been traded, in terms of naïve shallowness, MM has a fight, they have successfully unearthed a large number of naïve works, MGM's highest-grossing movies are the "Twilight" series and "Youth Musical" series, his profit is higher than that of a blockbuster like 007.
So MM has its own set of experience in operating low-sip commercial movies, and knows how to deal with those film critics, so "Transformers" is outrageously low, but the box office is red all the way, outrageously high, of course, the main reason is that this is a commercial popcorn movie, and its main purpose is entertainment-oriented.
Hollywood blockbusters, especially action blockbusters that want to dispatch the army, are almost all cooperated with the United States military, which permeates ideology in nature or unnature, and even feature films such as "Forrest Gump" also convey a warm "dream of the United States".
For a science fiction film like "Transformers", the ideology it conveys is not warm, but full of rough and naïve heroic passion.
For example, the cars and airplanes transformed by "Transformers" have been branded with the automobile culture of Shangren. The Decepticons are mostly disguised in the form of fighter jets, pistols, tanks, and other military assault weapons, suggesting that they have the ambition of wolves to provoke wars and exterminate other races; the Autobots are all shown as civilian machinery, trucks, buses, sports cars, and ambulances, suggesting their broad mind to defend mankind and peace.
The transformation of the fourth generation leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, is the Peterbilt 389 heavy-duty truck, which is a household name in the United States, with super powerful towing capacity and handling, its accessibility and sense of majesty are irreplaceable, and the body is decorated with red and blue, which is the use of the colors of the national flag of the United States, all of which make it a well-deserved American leader.
This is the inevitable result of cooperation with the government, while saving a lot of costs, it is inevitable to import some private goods, so as to become a kind of main theme blockbuster, every country has many people who are good at this, especially the people of the United States.
