The box office of $33.8 million on the first day in North America is not as good as "Fast and Furious 4", but it can be regarded as a success, Matthew got this data, and he is relieved, the two major productions starring him this year, at least there will be no box office tragedy, compared to the bleakness of "Cloud Atlas", he is definitely a lucky one.

After the premiere day, he specially asked people to count the data of the current theaters, the scheduling rate of "Cloud Atlas" has long dropped to less than five percent, and most of the theaters are just out of agreement, arranging a routine every day, and the top three in the current scheduling rate are "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Kong" and "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs".

The newly released "Ice Age 3", as an animated film, has a significantly lower scheduling rate than the two live-action films.

Although it was released on the same weekend, Paramount Pictures never considered "Ice Age 3" as a rival, and no one thought that several animals would be opponents of the movie starring Matthew.

Moreover, the characteristics of this film are very prominent: stepping on Eiffel and holding the United States.

The toy elite of the past has been reloaded, and the international metropolis that has long been riddled with holes on the screen cannot escape the fate of suffering.

For audiences familiar with Hollywood movies, secret special forces have long been unusual, terrorists have become commonplace, and the top-notch equipment and stunts of a few years ago are inevitably a little outdated.

If the "Transformers" series can still work hard from transformation, the light sci-fi and action-heavy "Special Forces", the light model and special effects are definitely not enough to show their skills.

So, in addition to intermittently inserting the current world situation and increasing the realism of the plot, both sides of the confrontation between good and evil have embarked on the route of the appearance association.

Matthew, Sienna Miller and Carolina Kokuva are the three main characters, and their appearance conditions are quite outstanding.

On the other hand, Hasbro, one of the world's leading toy manufacturers, is no longer satisfied with helping other people's licensed toys as wedding dresses, and has ambitions to transform into a multimedia entertainment factory, relying on its own brand screen promotion.

The cooperation with Paramount Pictures can be described as a strong combination, and this summer's first blockbuster "Transformers 2" was swept through the box office. The metal warriors here are still desperately fanning the flames, and the GIs of "Special Forces" have begun to frantically seize the market under the leadership of Matthew.

As the ace player of Hasbro, "Special Forces" became popular in Europe and the United States as soon as it appeared 27 years ago, and not only quickly became the object of imitation by many toy manufacturers, but also developed rapidly, spanning various fields such as comics and cartoons, and accumulating a large number of fans.

These also laid the foundation for the first-day box office success of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra".

In fact, if it weren't for the criticism of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the global anti-war rhetoric, the film would have grossed much higher.

Of course, a big summer production like this, with a lot of handsome guys, beauties, explosions and special effects, is very popular among fans.

On Saturday afternoon, after Matthew did a promotion, he got the latest word-of-mouth statistics for the film.

Since its screening, more than 14,000 viewers have rated "Special Forces" on IMDB, with an average score of 7.8, and five media outlets on Yahoo Entertainment have given ratings ranging from "B+" to "A."

However, the reputation of Rotten Tomatoes is still poor, and on the website that specializes in counting film critics' scores, "Special Forces" is once again marked as rotten, with a freshness rating of only 56 percent, but the popcorn index voted by ordinary fans on behalf of the audience is as high as 95 percent.

After experiencing the short-term freshness of "Fast and Furious 4" on Rotten Tomatoes, the film starring Matthew continues to run on the road of poor criticism and enthusiastic response from the audience, and there is a tendency to never return.

In terms of Cinema Score statistics, which come directly from theatrical audiences, "Special Forces" has an excellent reputation, with an average score of "A" and an overall evaluation of 85 points from the Cinema Score on-site survey of 3,560 viewers.

In addition, Cinema Score also made a prediction, believing that the North American box office of "Special Forces" is unlikely to exceed 100 million in the first weekend, and the final box office in North America is expected to hit the $300 million mark.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Paramount Pictures is also making every effort to mobilize the media to create a better reputation for "Special Forces", especially on social accounts, and the praise of this film can be seen everywhere.

At the beginning of the film, the audience was stunned with a 10-minute assault battle, and then cool armor and fighter jets appeared one after another. Two-thirds of the 120-minute film is devoted to confrontations, with stunt scenes endless. ”

This film provides a one-stop service for the audience to enjoy Hollywood action techniques, which means that no matter what type of action scenes you like, you can find them in the film, from the imaginative interstellar wars, to the actual battles filled with gunpowder, from the cold weapon duel of the hard bridge and hard horse, to the hand-to-hand combat between Matthew Horner and Jason Statham, and even two beautiful women with strong bodies hammer and hammer to make you eye-catching. ”

If you want a film to be a big hit, you must tout it vigorously, not only Paramount Pictures, but Matthew is also doing similar work.

In order to promote "Special Forces", he quietly circulated the praise on the Internet, and even did not hesitate to step on "Transformers" to get on the top.

Compared to Hasbro and Paramount Pictures, Matthew didn't have to worry about accidentally injuring allies.

"It's better than 'Transformers' 1 and 2 combined - this is the biggest surprise I got after watching "Special Ops: Cobra Rise", I thought it was just a handful of boring stunts + bad popcorn tuned into a bloody plot, but under the careful construction of director Sommers, "Special Forces" has completed a textbook masterpiece with precise pacing, three-dimensional characters portrayed by Matthew Horner, clever suspense and preset baggage for the sequel - and, of course, dazzling visual stimulation. ”

The success of this film is not only related to Matthew alone, but also Karolina Kokuva, one of the three leading actors, is also very concerned, she has paid a lot to get the role of the redhead, and whether the already dim star can regain her livelihood depends on the response of this "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra".

On Sunday night, Karolina Kokuva stayed up until after 12 a.m., refreshing the web page over and over again, waiting for the latest box office report to come out.

Finally, close to one o'clock in the morning, she saw the latest stats on the boxofficemojo website.

In the statistics column on the right side of the homepage of the website, the titles of the top three films at the box office this past weekend and the preliminary box office data are listed.

At the top of the list is "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra"!

In the first three days of the opening weekend, the film earned $86.7 million from more than 4,200 theaters in North America, and it landed at the top of the North American box office charts without any suspense!

In second place was "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs", an animated film that only grossed a little over $40 million in its first week.

However, Carolina Kokuva heard Matthew say that animated films are all long-term screenings, and the final box office may not be low.

The third place in the box office list is "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Kong", which entered its third weekend and won $28.41 million, and the North American box office has crossed the threshold of $200 million.

Seeing these statistics, Karolina Kokova was relieved, took a shower and prepared to go to bed, but before she entered the bathroom, an agent who was far away in New York suddenly called.

"KK, I have good news for you. The agent's words were full of excitement, "the director of operations of Victoria's Secret called me just now. ”

Hearing her agent say this, Karolina Kokuva's eyes widened, "What did she say?"

The agent immediately said on the phone, "She asked me to ask you, are you interested in going to the Victoria's Secret show this year?"

Despite guessing that this might be the case, Karolina Kokuva breathed hard and confirmed, "You heard me right?"

"You can't go wrong. "The agent is very sure," Victoria's Secret would like to invite you to this year's Victoria's Secret show. ”

Karolina Kokuva calmed her rapid breath and asked, "Am I going to participate?"

The agent's voice on the phone suddenly raised, "Go, why don't you go?" She seemed to be afraid that Karolina Kokova would be uplifted, and persuaded, "KK, this is not the time to hold a grudge, when you regain your fame, you can negotiate terms with Victoria's Secret again, and now it is the best choice to return to Victoria's Secret." ”

Karolina Kokuva hesitated a little, "I just feel unwilling." ”

""Special Forces" is a big hit, and you will become famous. The agent continued to say on the phone, "We are now making two preparations, one is to build a good relationship with Victoria's Secret and strive to return to Victoria's Secret Angels, and the other is that you continue to develop in movies, Matthew Horner is key!"

Carolina Kokuva didn't speak, and this time she was able to rise again, really with the help of Matthew Horner's aura.

"I got the news that Hasbro and Paramount Pictures are planning to make a sequel to 'Special Forces.' The agent told him on the phone, "It's very good for your modeling career that you have a good relationship with Matthew Horner and try to keep the redhead in the sequel." ”

"I ......," Karolina Kokuva said suddenly.

Doesn't this make her continue to negotiate deals with Matthew Horner? She just said her parting words to Matthew Horner, and she is ready to develop him into a high-quality customer, only to take the initiative to send him to the door to negotiate a deal?

The question is that he has used everything he can use, will Matthew Horner still be interested?

Karolina Kokuva doesn't know, but she understands that she wants to continue the relationship for the past year, "Special Forces" has already had a successful start, how can she give up halfway?
