Chapter 369 is a big sale

"Iron Man" was released at 0:00 on the 28th, and the audience was very enthusiastic about watching the movie, many fans complained that it was difficult to find, and there were many scenes of queuing up to buy tickets, although it was not as crowded as last year's "Star Wars 3", and many people asked for leave to buy tickets, but it was also very lively.

According to the MM TV network entertainment channel, ten well-known theaters were selected in Los Angeles for a survey, and the attendance rate was basically more than 90 percent.

The current box office data can't be counted for a while, this is not a matter of two theaters, this is a matter of more than 4,000 theaters, some theaters have realized computer counting, but more traditional calculation methods, the media already know that "Iron Man" is a foregone conclusion, but the specific number will not be known until MM statistics come out, and it may be possible to break the record of the first premiere of the year held by "Ice Age 2" a month ago (70 million US dollars).

Now some insiders have discovered that in the 365 days of this year, at least 300 days of crying poor and jumping off the building are not crying poor, but selling movie tickets, soda and popcorn.

The copies prepared by Columbia Pictures were suddenly insufficient, and there were calls and orders from all over the country to destroy the copies, and now MM can be sure that "Iron Man" is a big hit, and Iger waved his hand and said to Kevin Feige, Stan Lee, Aland and other Marvel executives: "Prepare champagne!"

"Iron Man" has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm for watching movies, many people are pouring into the cinema to watch the latest superhero blockbuster, on Facebook, communicating and sharing "Iron Man" is now the hottest and most trendy topic, and some people openly threatened: "If you don't watch Iron Man, you are simply outdated." ”

In the post bars, chat rooms, and forums of major websites on the mutual website, the hottest topics are also sharing and discussing the content and plot of "Iron Man".

After attending the premiere, Mark began to learn from the super director Steven Spielberg's forced style, and retreated for three days after the release of the new film, while Mark's retreat refers to staying in the palace, turning off the mobile phone, unplugging the phone, not dealing with any official business, concentrating on accompanying his wife and son, and living a good and happy life.

Mark is having a good time, but Iger is not, and he and Stan Lee, Feige, and Alaand can't wait to stay at Columbia Pictures in Carver City, staring at the box office data collected from all over the world, waiting for the final result.

For Stan Lee and them, "Iron Man" is the key to whether they can turn over, it is conceivable that if this film fails, they will not be able to organize the production of such a large-scale A-grade production within three years, and what is even worse is the negative news, even the hand of God Mark can't save Marvel, who else can save it?

Stan Lee is very unconvinced, the new line filming "Blade" has made money, Twentieth Century Fox's "X-Men" has also earned, Dongyingren's "Spider-Man" has also earned, Marvel can only make a little money, why did he Lao Li have high blood pressure? Envy and jealousy come, this "Iron Man" is to make money anyway, and it is a big profit, it must be!

And other creators like Donnie, Rachel, Jamie Fox, Jeff Brix, etc., are also here, these days they are promoting movies all over California, it is harvest season, and at the critical moment, they can't sleep anyway, so they all rush to the Columbia company headquarters, drink coffee to refresh themselves, and wait for news.

Now among the MM executives, only Mark, an indifferent and ruthless guy, can sleep at home, and the two Colombian bigwigs, Layton and Pascal, are almost busy with their feet, they are only responsible for distribution, but as members of the MM board of directors, they know the importance of the Marvel Universe to MM, and they dare not slack off.

Following the original plan, "Iron Man" will be released worldwide on May Day, but "Professional Secret Service 3" unexpectedly failed, the market became unprecedentedly hungry, and the last three days of April were the peak period, they saw that everything was ready, and immediately arranged to be released in North Mi, more than 4,000 theaters, more than 9,000 screens, large-scale release.

At two o'clock in the morning on Monday, the results finally came out, but both Leiden and Pascal froze.

$11.5 million.

There are only three works in film history that have exceeded $100 million within three days of their premiere, "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" with 124 million, "Spider-Man" with 114 million, and "Harry Potter 4 Goblet of Fire" with 180 million, and now "Iron Man" has 2.5 million more than Ha 4, ranking third in film history.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Columbia company headquarters became a sea of joy.

And as soon as this news came out, Hollywood was a sensation, and the entertainment industry was also a sensation.

"Iron Man" received an astonishing box office at the North Mi Film Market this weekend, easily topping the box office this weekend with an impressive record of more than $100 million.

The film is not only the box office champion of the premiere this year, but also the runner-up at the first box office of non-sequel films in history, second only to the first "Spider-Man" that year.

MM Group's "Iron Man" premiered at the same time in more than 4,000 theaters in North Mi on April 28, the premiere scale can be called the largest this year, the film distributor's wishful thinking has not failed, the premiere three days in advance really ushered in a good start, according to statistics, on the first day of release, "Iron Man" won 37 million US dollars at the box office, and the whole weekend was an astonishing box office of 11.5 million US dollars, far exceeding the animated film "Ice Age 2" had set a premiere box office of 70 million US dollars this year's best result.

"Iron Man", which invested $160 million, made a big splash this week, subverting the start of about $70 million predicted by all walks of life in one fell swoop, and unexpectedly broke out of a moat of up to $100 million in three days over the weekend, ushering in a surprise index for this year's May file, which is no less colorful than last year's "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" with 170 million (single-week box office) to write history, after all, "Iron Man" It is the beginning of a new series, and in the weak world where the comic hero family has rarely performed amazingly since the little spider, it is rare to have a flat thunderstorm, and the high-media comprehensive evaluation of 78 points is also unexpected!

Driven by "Iron Man", the audience burst out with incomparable enthusiasm for watching the film, and the market opened a big bull market that has not been seen for a long time since last year's year-end carnival schedule, with a total of 170 million in the Top 12, even surpassing the 150 million led by "Spider-Man 1" when it premiered in the same period in 02, second only to the 180 million that soared out in the same period last year under the monster-level start of "Star Wars 3", ranking second in film history.

After "Spider-Man" and "X-Men 2", another leading figure of Marvel has once again benefited a lot, and it has made "Heavenly Dynasty" and "Mission Impossible 3", which have been coldly unveiled in the same period in recent years, embarrassed.

According to the forecast figures released by the North Mi Film Box Office Statistics Agency on the 3rd, last week's box office champion and "Professional Secret Service 3" ranked second with more than 20 million, and the family comedy "RV Trip" ranked third last week, with a box office income of more than 10 million US dollars, while the new supernatural film "American Strange Tales", which was also released last week, ranked fourth with a box office of $6.4 million, and the fifth and sixth places in the box office list were the sports films "Stand Firm" and the "9.11" air crash film "Flight 93", which were on the list last week , which grossed $5.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Last weekend, the total box office revenue of the 12 highest-grossing films in the North American film market was 170 million US dollars, and "Iron Man" alone accounted for 110 million.

It can be said that "Iron Man" single-handedly served as the banner of saving the city.

The superheroes born in comics are like the "idols" in the entertainment industry, relying on "appearance" and giving the audience sensory enjoyment, it is easy to be popular but also easy to be eliminated. Iron Man is a hero built with his own strength, he is not an alien, nor is he a superpower, with a smart brain and high technology, he is a hero created with his hands. Iron Man is imperfect, so it's more real and likable.

Most superheroes have been law-abiding and well-behaved young people since they were young, but their greatness often makes the audience feel a sense of distance, and Iron Man is a problem man, he has all the shortcomings that rich people are most likely to have: profligacy, arrogance and snobbery, rhetoric, arrogance, and ruffianism, any of which is enough for the previous "heroes" to unite and draw a line with him, but he has one thing in common with other heroes, when he knows that he has the "ability" to control the life and death of others can choose to use it in time to do righteous deeds.

And Iron Man is the only hero with a beard and hair that is not neatly combed, he doesn't look good, and he is very decadent, but he adds the charm of a mature man, Iron Man also knows how to confuse the public with high-end technology and military weapons, in his studio, there are a variety of intelligent robots and advanced computer systems to help him do a lot of work, everything looks so modern and sci-fi, all of this kind has become a reason for the audience to go into the cinema and pay a lot of money.

This also brought prosperity to the entire film market in advance, making many theater operators feel that the climax of this summer season is coming.

The screen of this North has reached 250 million, and "Iron Man" alone has contributed two-fifths, but it has contributed nearly 70% of the box office, which has a high attendance rate, which can almost be compared with "Star Wars".

And the praise and praise for Mark is also overwhelming, what a "super famous director" and "the next king of the world"! These glamorous nicknames don't need money to smash them.
