Because of the relationship with "Pirates of the Caribbean" released on the same weekend, Matthew specifically checked the information of "Falling from the Sky", only to find that "Van Helsing" is not alone, and "Falling from the Sky" also gathers a number of famous monsters, which can be called a movie work with a large collection of monsters.

Explorer Aaron Cottman in "Solomon's Treasure", Tom Sawyer in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", Captain Nemo in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", Dr. Hyde in "Doctor Avatar", Mina the female vampire in "Dracula's Kiss", Invisible Man in "The Invisible Man", Dorian Gray in "The Portrait of Dowling Gray......

These men responded to the call of Queen Victoria of Great Britain to form a "League of Special Gentlemen" to fight against the ghosts of madmen who seek to turn the world upside down.

After Matthew read the information, he only had one feeling, isn't this the Victorian Avengers or the Justice League? It turns out that Hollywood has the idea of forming a team to brush monsters so early, and the actor is still the famous Sean Connery.

It's a pity that he hasn't seen this film, so he doesn't have any impression at all.

Matthew then saw in the newspaper that the advance box office for "Fallen from the Sky" was more than half less than "Pirates of the Caribbean," at less than $3 million.

Judging from the box office alone, "Fallen from the Sky" is simply not the opponent of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

That's exactly what happened, and after a day on Friday, "Pirates of the Caribbean" earned $22.2 million, while "Heavenfall" earned only $8.5 million, and the two films were not on the same level at all.

The gap in word-of-mouth is even greater.

One day after the release of "Fallen from the Sky", Rotten Tomatoes only had a pitiful 17 percent freshness, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" remained above 80 percent.

On IMDB, the average score of the audience of "Falling from the Sky" is 5.9 points, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" is as high as 8.3 points!

There is absolutely no comparison between the two films.

The extremely poor reputation of "Fallen from the Sky" also made Matthew throw it aside, no matter how you look at it, this film starring Sean Connery is not enough to pose much threat to "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The media is also comparing these two commercial masterpieces released at the same time, even in a crowded summer season, it is relatively rare for two works with an investment of more than $70 million to be released on the same weekend.

Even a major newspaper like the Los Angeles Times ran a commentary on it.

"As a commercial entertainment film released at the same time, "Fallen from the Sky" cannot be compared with "Pirates of the Caribbean" at all, and the gap is all-round. ”

"First of all, as a director, Stephen Norrington, the director of "Falling from the Sky", made an extremely ingenious and amazing idea into a vulgar bad movie, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski, on the contrary, the old-fashioned and declining pirate theme was reborn under him. ”

"The second is the actor, Sean Connery, the protagonist of "Fallen from the Sky", has passed so many years, even if he plays an explorer, he still looks like James Bond; 's actor Johnny Depp, with Jack Sparrow's gorgeous turn, brought a stunning performance, and the vase roles in the two films are also obviously different, Stuart Townsend and Matthew Horner are respectively the face of the two films, both of them play the role of a sword in the film, Stuart Townsend Demuner is like a stone, but Matthew Horner plays a role similar to a rock, vividly ......"

Seeing this, Stuart Townsend threw away the "Los Angeles Times" in his hand, his face was obviously not very good-looking, he woke up early on Saturday morning, and he was not happy to get yesterday's box office data, and now the newspaper still compares him to a nobody, which is full of sarcasm, how can he be in a good mood?

"Falling from the Sky" is his first time starring in a big production, which directly determines his future star career, the box office of the film is worrying, and his future is ......

The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted his thinking, and Stuart Townsend looked up to see that his girlfriend Charlize Theron was coming out of the gym, and her bloated figure had lost much weight again.

"What's wrong, dear?" Charlize Theron asked, looking at him.

Stuart Townsend suddenly remembered that he had heard Charlize Theron mention the name Matthew Horner before, and after a while, he said, "Do you know Matthew Horner?"

Although there was something wrong with seeing Stuart Townsend's expression, Charlize Theron didn't want to cheat on her boyfriend and said, "Yes, I met at Depp's Black Mamba Bar last year, I, Depp and Keanu had a few drinks with Matthew Horner at the Black Mamba Bar. ”

"Drink less there in the future. Stuart Townsend grimaced, "Don't deal with Matthew Horner anymore!"

Charlize Theron frowned slightly and asked, "Why, I ......"

"No why!" Stuart Townsend suddenly burst into rage and directly interrupted Charlize Theron's words, "Because I don't like him!"

After saying this, Charlize Theron still wanted to open his mouth to distinguish, but Stuart Townsend grabbed the "Los Angeles Times" just now and threw it directly, and the newspaper scattered and fell to the ground in front of Charlize Theron.

Stuart Townsend yelled at Charlize Theron, "If you go to the Black Mamba Bar again, don't come back!

Charlize Theron kept silent, although she bought the house, the cars in the garage were all paid for by her, and she was basically responsible for the expenses of the two, but for this hard-won love, she could endure it all.

Stuart Townsend got up and went upstairs, this damn Pirates of the Caribbean, this damn Matthew Horner......

In Burbank, in the office of Angel Agency, Amanda is sitting in Helen Herman's office chair, flipping through the website on her computer.

"Helen, is Pirates of the Caribbean going to be a big hit?" she asked curiously.

Helen Herman was sitting on the couch sipping the green tea Matthew had given her, putting down her glass and saying, "The opening weekend box office won't be less than $50 million." ”

After the midnight box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released, both Disney Studios and many professional forecasting agencies raised the minimum box office figure of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to $50 million in the first weekend.

Amanda looked up and asked again, "Matthew is going to be a big star?"

"As long as Pirates of the Caribbean doesn't go bad in the later stages. Helen Herman said calmly, "It's not a problem for Matthew to become a second-tier star. ”

"I've heard you say that the later trend is directly related to the reputation of the film's audience. Amanda looked down at the computer screen again, "Judging from the Internet, the response to "Pirates of the Caribbean" is very good." ”

She flipped through the web page and saw audience praise for "Pirates of the Caribbean" everywhere, which reflected the views of first-tier market audiences, unlike Rotten Tomatoes, which reflected the comments of film critics.

"Can the captain and the blacksmith be a little more handsome? The captain is uninhibited, and the blacksmith is domineering and exposed, both of them are full of pride, and they are the ultimate of men!"

"The film is very original, the captain is so beautiful, the blacksmith is so cool, and the pairing of these two is just perfect! The only downside is Elizabeth Swan, the character appears between Depp and Matthew, and it feels so mismatched. ”

"The two characters of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner are so brilliant and make the whole movie interesting!"

"The plot is complete, the plot is tight, the routines are very acceptable, and most importantly, I got to know an actor Matthew Horner who will never be forgotten again. ”

Amanda then opened IMDB, which was similarly well received on the website.

"Pirates of the Caribbean will definitely become a classic entertainment film, with a smooth story, intensive fights and funny, Hans Zimmer's classic soundtrack, crazy, lazy, drunk, and warped Captain Jack, Depp is too charming and domineering, the love between a beautiful and rebellious aristocratic woman and a poor boy, a group of skeleton villains walking on the bottom of the sea, cannonballs and rushing through huge waves between pirate ships, and the captain mobilizing his men to set sail after getting on board, full of Disney's untouched childlike heart for fantasy adventures, shocking. ”

"Depp and Matthew play two of the most charismatic characters, more than the whole story, the feminine pirate and the mighty blacksmith complement each other. ”

"I don't think there will be too many action scenes in a pirate movie, but after watching it, the balance of action and drama is quite good. Of course, there are also a lot of interesting clips interspersed between action and drama. Some really good special effects also add to the fun of the movie. If you like action movies you'll love this, if you like comedy you'll love this, it's a top entertainment movie: the plot, action, adventure, humor combine so perfectly!"

Turning off IMDB, Amanda went to Matthew's personal blog to take a look, unlike the previous calm, Matthew's blog was very lively, and the message area was almost bursting.

"Matthew, you're so MAN! I like you......"

There are too many messages from female fans like this.

"As a face controller and body controller, what I pay the most attention to is Matthew, it's so cool!"

There are many comments like this.

There are more rational fans, and the comments are the same as those of most viewers who praise the film.

Matthew and Depp held up the whole movie, and the brilliance of their two partners even covered up the story and special effects of the film. ”

A very small number of people have made some inexplicable remarks.

"I really don't know why, why did Matthew choose Keira Knightley as his girlfriend, the two of them obviously don't match at all? Matthew, but you should break up with Keira Knightley quickly, she doesn't deserve you!"
