Not long after the premiere, Matthew returned to Horner Manor when he received a call from Helen Herman, who had arrived at the advance box office of "The Twilight Zone," which earned $13.2 million in 3,150 theaters in North America.

This is a very good advance box office result, easily surpassing "Iron Man" and "Hancock", which were released this summer.

Among the films that have been released in 2008, it is also second only to the $18.5 million advance box office of "The Dark Knight".

The latter's North American box office has exceeded $500 million so far!

This happiness came too suddenly, and in just a dozen minutes, Matthew received calls from David Ellison, Lily Collins, Nina Dubrev and Sophia Coppola.

Although she is a young woman in literature and art, Sophia Coppola is very aware of the importance of the box office for directors, she does not want to develop in the commercial side, "The Peerless Cleopatra" is an attempt, but the proportion of female directors who succeed in the field of commercial films is too low, and it seems that it is more suitable for the development of literature and art.

Sofia Coppola was a little emotional when she called, and wanted to come over and talk to Matthew all night.

But Nina Dobrev is practicing rhythmic gymnastics with him, and as a very professional and "artistic" spectator, Matthew appropriately confided to Sofia Coppola, and if Sofia Coppola wants to come and enjoy it, of course he will not refuse.

Unfortunately, Sofia Coppola quickly calmed down and dispelled the idea.

On Friday morning, many theaters just opened their doors and ushered in the peak of movie-watching, and countless young girls flocked to the movie, and the goal of buying tickets was basically "Twilight".

This youth idol movie dressed in fantasy is extremely popular.

"The film tells the story of unconditional love between humans and vampires, figuratively speaking, this is the vampire version of "Romeo and Juliet". Although it focuses on the love card, the film cleverly incorporates fantasy elements such as vampires and werewolves, which increases the attractiveness of the whole story. In the face of such a story, many girls will naturally yearn for it, and love has always ignited people's passion and madness. There is also a film with beautiful and melancholy pictures, and the music is well-made, which is commendable. ”

On social networking sites, young girls who have watched the film can't wait to share their love for the film.

Some female film critics, who are not too old, seem to like this film as well.

"As a typical women's movie, "Twilight" is indeed wonderful and successful enough, its combination of love and fantasy in modern times, the fantasy world constructed, and the dream of light and shadow of the girl Huaichun that satisfies it, undoubtedly make the movie full of seductive charm, and under the beautiful youth pure love, the handsome vampire with superpowers, the kind and beautiful girl, the two know each other and fall in love across many barriers, and the power of love is so romantic and sincere......"

"Each of the characters in "Twilight" is so delicate and feminine, even if it is a fight between vampires, it is not so bloody. This film satisfies the little girl's yearning and imagination for love, and this is a beautiful and romantic love film. ”

With the official opening of the film in North America with more than 3,600 theaters, more and more audiences have seen "Twilight", and book fans and young girls have been fascinated by the film and praised "Twilight".

"I like movies with this theme very much, I can't be fascinated, the actor is super handsome, and the actors' acting skills are all online. ”

"The appearance of the male and female protagonists alone is enough for me to watch the entire series, not to mention the exquisite pictures. ”

"This movie satisfies my expectations for a beautiful, romantic and extraordinary relationship, so it must be a movie that girls love. ”

Fans are crazy about what they like, and girls always fantasize that they are Mary Sue, so they must lack enough rationality when looking at this film.

A message from a young girl that was widely retweeted on Twitter was a representative.

"I also want to find someone who can fly, the man in charge and the family! I love to suck blood the most, and I am quite loving! The people who give bad reviews are jealous men, mature women who cross the line, and people who pretend to be coercive. The praise is given to the immature girls and boys who live in fantasy. ”

It was with the crazy support of these people that "Twilight" earned $41.2 million from North America on the first day of its release!

In just one day, the North American box office of this film exceeded the production cost!

"That's $41.2 million in a single day!"

Inside a newly decorated mansion in Beverly Hills, Natalie Portman looked at the number in the newspaper and was quite shocked, "According to normal rules, it is entirely possible for the box office of "Twilight" to cross the $100 million mark in its first weekend!"

Those thoughts suddenly came out, and her throat rolled, she was obviously thinking too much, Matthew Horner was still the Matthew Horner who could accurately grasp the film market.

Success! Success! Success! This Matthew Horner is simply a machine that has been built successfully!

Suddenly, she had the idea that it was wrong to introduce Brad Pitt to the Wachowski siblings for money, and would the chances of success be better if she worked with Matthew Horner?

But such a thought flashed through her, Natalie Portman is not the kind of person who hesitates, how could she have the money to buy this mansion if it weren't for working with Brad Pitt and Plan B?

Now that "Cloud Atlas" is in post-production, and "Alien Battlefield" is about to start filming, she has already boarded the ship of Brad Pitt and Plan B, and she will not be able to get off in a short time.

With the first-day box office released, most of the media outlets that were downcast about "Twilight" before its release also changed their stance, believing that the film was at least a commercial success.

"Matthew Horner is very good at making money, and this 'Twilight Zone' is a prime example of successful investment. He knows that the people who go to the cinema to watch this kind of film are often girls, and even if there are boys, it is often boys who invite girls to watch them, so as long as you please girls, you are tantamount to pleasing all people. ”

The Sun first acknowledged the commercial success of "The Twilight Zone", and then continued to be in the same style, "But he flattered girls like this, and he had a holiday with boys! I wonder how many boys have vomited when they accompany girls to watch this film? I guess they all hate Matthew Horner, right?"

Finally, don't forget to sneer, "This time the vampire is on the market, and the whitening products will be introduced to the male market, and those cosmetics companies should really find Matthew Horner as the marketing director." ”

The commercial success of "Twilight" comes from the accurate grasp of the film market segment, but behind the $41.2 million box office on the first day, there are also countless male viewers who were accidentally injured by the film.

It's not right to say that it was a mistake, these men basically enter the theater to please female audiences, but "Twilight" is really not suitable for mature men to watch.

Inevitably, there has been a very serious polarization in the word-of-mouth of "Twilight".

"It's so rotten that I want to cry. ”

"Teenage brain fragments!"

"I can't accept this kind of film, I can't watch it at all. ”

"How can anyone like it, the mentally retarded plot, the inexplicable love, the funny styling...... It's too much for a single point..."

"The actor is not good-looking, he has no masculine temperament, and he will pass after seeing it and endure it. The heroine's acting skills are really unbearable, from beginning to end she looks a little frightened and a little incredible, as if she is frozen in a stupid manner, and she can't see any emotional changes, and how can they get better? I don't understand, the feelings are inexplicable!"

These are not bad, some disgusting male viewers couldn't bear it anymore, and directly exploded on the Internet.

"I can't stand the heroine's expression of dying from beginning to end! Who can tell that they are in love? The pace is too slow, a bad movie! Waste my time!"

"The subject matter is old-fashioned, the plot is boring and boring, the shape is stupid and ridiculous, the worst vampire movie I've ever seen!"

"A piece of...... I feel like I've read a lot of bad girl manga!"

"Bella could have fed Edward every month's menstrual blood, or it would be wasted. ”

I have to say that the brains of some genius viewers are so big that the original author Stephanie Mayer can collapse directly.

In the case of "Twilight," there is a stark opposition between male and female audiences, and in the past, popular female films such as "Enchanted" or "Juno" have not had a significantly more female audience than male audiences.

The girl who reveled in romance and Mary Sue saw someone scolding her for her wonderful dream, of course, she would not give up.

A super Mary Sue girl from Disney who is a big star has stepped forward.

Miley Cyrus, played by Hannah Montana, responded to the male audience's abuse of "Twilight" as a fan of "Twilight".

"As far as this film is concerned, it seems that most of the people I like are girls, and most of the people who are scolded are hooligans. If you position yourself as a girl, there is no reason why you should not like such a pure love; if you position yourself as a hooligan, there must be a contemptuous smile on the corner of your mouth, say a cut~"

"It's like when you were an innocent boy, you looked down on those profligate mature men and women, thinking that they were undisciplined, immoral, dirty, and lewd, and you couldn't help but turn your back when you heard them tell very pornographic and violent jokes, and your eyes flashed with anger. ”

"When you finally grow up to be a mature man, you will look down on those Lori Shota, thinking that they have no knowledge, no experience, and are brainless. ”

"From the hooligan side, these handsome men and women who are good-looking are simply ridiculous, especially when I think that the author's aunt has cheated so much money with such a love story, my heart is even more jealous. ”

"From the girl's side, even though I know that my lips are red and my teeth are white, tall and handsome, physically strong, I have a car and a house on the wall, I am immortal, my eyes are evil, gentle, dedicated, protective, and I know how to restrain my desires, and the man who knows how to restrain his desires does not exist at all, but I can't help but follow YY......"

For the sake of marketing, Disney Pictures even pulled out its most popular youth idols.
