Chapter 547: Twilight Strikes
In May this year, MM's main blockbuster was Will Smith and Charlize Theron's "Superman for All", and at the end of May, Blake and Meryl Streep's song and dance film "Mama Mia" did not break 100 million in a single week, but it also achieved good results.
In the first week of June, a year and a half later, "Twilight 2: New Moon" was released, still starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and the director was replaced by Mark Katherine Hardwick, who was the assistant director of the first Mark, and is now the director.
MGM's "Twilight 2: New Moon" will take over the box office, and it will be fully released in the United States at 0:01 on the 2nd. There's plenty of evidence to believe that "New Moon" is good enough to outperform the first "Twilight," which exceeded industry expectations for $93.7 million a year ago, and now the question is just how big the sequel will be.
Fully booked, strong PR and publicity campaigns, and a vast network of outlets have allowed New Moon to pre-sell to a record. According to statistics, 2,150 have been sold out, and 200 have been sold out in Los Angeles and New York. Reports of online ticketing Fandango sales also continued to climb, with thousands of fans gathering in the streets outside the two Westwood theaters on the 16th, and many loyal fans camping for days to catch a glimpse of their idols.
On top of that, Myspace's special online show at the launch event has attracted nearly three million views, which became a red carpet myth created by Ustream's online social torrent, which will be rebroadcast later this week.
Films based on regular fans usually sell out on premiere day, but box office plummets by Saturday — as in last year's "Twilight," if "Crescent" could hold up from Friday to Saturday, that would be a sign that the audience has expanded completely.
Female audiences are the main ticket buyers, and the release of "Twilight" after the strong influence of Warner Bros.'s "Sex and the City" is yet another proof that female audiences have enough to make a movie a hit — and that female moviegoers can make a weekend premiere crowd surge.
How "New Moon" will surpass "Twilight" at the box office depends on how many adult women and even men will buy tickets. The rest of the films on the U.S. box office list include Warner's Sandra Bullock sports drama "Weakness" and Disney's animated film "Planet 51." But Crescent Moon is still considered a ferocious 800-pound gorilla (or vampire).
Although teenage girls are still the core base of fans, the publishers of "Twilight" are still attracting more adult women (according to statistics, the age is especially between 25~35 years old). Last weekend, fans camped in Westwood Village for the premiere on the evening of the 16th, and there were still many adult women in addition to young girls.
The vampire human romance idol movie "Twilight 2: New Moon", which was released in North America on June 2, once again proves how much humans yearn for a lingering love affair with vampires. 3 days, 140 million US dollars, set four box office records: the first place in history on the first day of box office, the first in history in the single-day box office, the fastest box office movie in history to exceed 100 million yuan, the first in the week in 2008, and kicked off the throne of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", which sat on the seat for two weeks.
The 140 million record is terrifying! It cost only 51 million to make, so what is the concept of 140 million dollars? This number is sure to make "New Moon" the highest-grossing vampire movie of all time. It beat out "Van Helsing" (120 million in 2005) and its predecessor ($290 million in North Rice), and stomped the classic vampire epic "Interview with the Vampire" under its feet (105 million in the United States in 1994, and was the box office champion of vampire films for 10 consecutive years).
The highest record of the first day of film history is 65 million (Spider-Man 3) is refreshed to 72.7 million, which is also a new high in the history of the single-day box office; the speed of rushing 100 million is shortened from 3 days to 2 days, and the three days of the weekend are 72.7 million, 43.2 million, and 24.8 million respectively, and the final cumulative box office reaches a terrifying 140 million, and the film's overseas box office is expected to reach 170 million in the first week. And the production cost of "New Moon" is only 51 million US dollars.
Behind the illustrious box office figures, the evaluation is polarized: "It's a shame for adults to go to watch such a movie, and leave this unrealistic fantasy to boys and girls who are crazy about falling in love." Los Angeles Times
"It's really nice to see a handsome man and a beautiful woman stage a vampire and a human love affair again!" "Variety" magazine's review is friendly.
Who believes it? Look at the rating of the IMDB website: the overall score is 4.5 points, failing! But check the detailed ratio, among the 11557 netizens, 4 percent give the movie a full score of 10 points, and only give 1 point also accounts for 4 percent, what a tangled number! It turns out that most of the full scores are girls, and the average score given by girls under the age of 18 is as high as 8.0 points.
"Twilight 1" is poised to explode in popularity"Twilight 1" invested only 40 million, but it was released last year but recovered 290 million US dollars, (only in North America), the two young leading actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart became an instant hit, accumulating more than 100 million popularity around the world, and the hit of "New Moon" is a big explosion of popularity.
"The New Moon" should also be well received overseas – it will conquer most territories on premiere day. The original "Twilight" earned $191.5 million in the U.S. and $220 million in overseas markets including France, Germany, Australia and Spain.
In Germany and Spain, stadiums were filled with crowds to see Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner. The UK even held a concert, and in Australia, the number of fans who bought "Twilight" and its products even exceeded that of the United States. In Sweden, "Crescent Moon" has been rated the country's highest level - 15 - all because of its violence and "constant sense of restlessness", while its predecessor "Twilight" has also received the same classification, and the film is rated PG 13 in the United States.
As part of a plan to expand local publicity, MGM will return "Twilight" to theaters on Thursday so fans can watch both movies in a row. The premiere at Westwood on the 16th was the only premiere of the film, and highlights included two live wolves at the Hammer Museum.
"New Moon" caused a huge sensation when it premiered in North Rice, which is also related to MM's best efforts to promote it, and advertisements for this film can be seen everywhere in North Rice, and among teenagers, there is a saying that if you don't watch twilight, you will be left behind.
In terms of box office, it did not disappoint anyone, 100 million 400 million in three days, the best result of the year is enough to make the three old male prostitutes' "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" ashamed of themselves (George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford), they only won this result in four days! It also shames the "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", the champion seed of the year, such a ferocious box office harvesting ability, which makes people fully see the power of fans.
Mark's works, even if there are some bloody and, still introduced Xiangjiang and the mainland at the same time, but due to different cultural backgrounds, it did not cause as turbulent waves as in Beimi, but it still achieved good results, the "Twilight" series, the global popularity, also introduced Xiangjiang and the mainland, and now it is first released in Xiangjiang, and after the pain in the mainland is better, "New Moon" will be introduced.
This Xiangjiang is a place where piracy is rampant, it is estimated that a few days after it is released here, piracy is rampant, and the people who sell pirated copies are often theaters or gangsters, this time MM numbered the copies, and hired security personnel to protect the copies, to ensure that there is no high-definition version of the outflow.
On the day of the release of "New Moon", Shao Yifu chartered a theater to watch, wanting to see this single-day 600 million Hong Kong dollars movie, who is sacred, what is the great place, and at the same time accompanied by his wife Fang Yihua and Mark and his wife, Giselle claims to be a fan of Mark, loves his original version very much, for the second movie, she is happier than fans, because she can share the money.
However, Sir Shao can't understand the magic of this movie, he is a strong spirit, pinched himself a few times, so that he didn't fall asleep, so as not to be rude, although this is not made by Mark, but his original work, which is also his work, fell asleep in front of him, which is very rude.
Sir Shao couldn't help but sigh: "Little pony, you were born to eat this kind of food, and I don't say anything about it." ”
is also a film and television tycoon, he has produced nearly 1,000 movies, in his heyday, every day around the world, there are a million people watching his movies, but none of his movies have reached the height of Mark, Mark's highest global box office is "Iron Man" 800 million, and it is even more terrifying when converted into Hong Kong dollars, nearly 7 billion, half of his Lao Shao's net worth, Mark's magic is that he can always make blockbuster works and win again and again.
This victory after victory has allowed them to rapidly expand themselves through rapid mergers and acquisitions, and have achieved a generation of legends.
Mark's entrepreneurial history is legendary, Mei Duo and Lei Shidong have today's achievements, through dozens of efforts and accumulation, and Mark is even more amazing is that he only used five years to achieve hegemony and establish a media empire, and now this media empire has begun to go out of North Mi and expand to the world, they will compete with the media for a few days on a global scale, and this happens to be his Shao Yifu's ultimate dream, but he thinks that his luck is not good, wasted years, and lives for a hundred years, and can only be trapped in a corner of the Xiangjiang River.
At this time, Mark's assistant Caroline ran in excitedly and said loudly: "Good news!"
