Chapter 904: Airborne Champion

Unlike the current 3D version of big-budget commercial films, "Fast and Furious 5", whether it is released on the other side of the Pacific Ocean or the version released in North America, all maintain 2D mode, to say that Matthew has a conscience, it would be too much to overestimate his temperament, not that he doesn't want to be 3D, but after experimentation, he found that the effect was too bad.

This film has too many action and drag racing shots, many action shots are shot in cars, although there is a Steadicam stabilizer, but for the effect of action shots, many shots cannot be used, and some action shots are inevitably shaky.

The shaky action footage is definitely not suitable for 3D mode screening, and many people will feel dizzy and even have severe vomiting after watching it for a long time.

Before filming, Matthew, David Ellison, and Justin Lim discussed and decided to go back to Fast & Furious 4 in 2D.

In Matthew's own words, they are the conscience of the industry.

Whether it is 3D or 2D, this is not the selling point of "Fast and Furious 5", the biggest selling point of the film is the team led by Sean played by Matthew.

After the North American premiere, the New York Times devoted an entire page to "Fast and Furious 5" in a supplement, analyzing the film's inevitable success.

In addition to the effect bonus of Matthew and the sequel film, they believe that the film opens up a new path for commercial action films.

In the majestic movie "Fast and Furious", Matthew Horner, Paul Walker, Gal Gadot, Daniel Wu and Tyrese Gibson and many other actors, each showed their perfect body, perfect character, three-dimensional character and special skills. ”

"It's no exaggeration to say that nowadays, a god-like setting of a protagonist can't compare to the strength of heroes teaming up, and the charm of teamwork. ”

This kind of collective money-grabbing behavior with the team concept as the core will soon spread throughout Hollywood, and Hollywood will inevitably have more impressive film character teams in the future, and more and more commercial blockbusters are willing to achieve the crystallization of collective energy. ”

In fact, it is not difficult to find that this kind of teamwork mode has been quietly developed in Hollywood for many years, such as grassroots laymen such as a group of laid-off workers in "High-rise Robbery", handsome and rich like a group of professional criminals in "Ocean's Eleven", the military group in "Special Forces" starring Matthew Horner who uses hormones and high technology and is also starring Matthew Horner, not to mention the "X-Men" where everyone has surprisingly special abilities, and even the last "Inception" starring Matthew Horner The teams organized in China also have their own scenery and functions, playing teamwork and dazzling group hormones......"

And "Fast and Furious 5" for the first time very clearly shouted the concept of team as family, pushing the advantage of team combat to a peak that similar Hollywood movies have never reached in the past. ”

It's not hard to guess that as long as Fast & Furious 5 is as successful as expected, a similar super-strong team will become a popular way to show on the screen, and they will shine brightly while joining forces on the big screen. ”

"Generally speaking, the lone heroes of the last century are outdated, and even "Mission Impossible 4", which was released at the end of this year, Tom Cruise is equipped with a team of 2 men and 1 woman, in this era when commercial selling points are in urgent need of updating and expanding, there are fewer and fewer big movies that rely on one person, and Hollywood will blow up their leading teams like popcorn, with superstars like Matthew Horner and Tom Cruise as leaders, coupled with beauty, bad luck, The villain who is indispensable for features and literature, plus the group drama that accurately touches the audience's G-spot, makes the teamwork fragrant and can become a very effective movie element. ”

Matthew also saw the report, and the New York Times was very sharp indeed.

This report is almost the same as the concept that he advocated when he promoted it, "the team is really handsome".

Hollywood commercial productions have a clear role teamwork, which appeared very early, but no one has systematically summarized it before, originally he thought that after the success of "The Avengers", someone would clearly realize the unique advantages that team movies can bring, but he didn't expect the logging concept of "Fast and Furious 5" to have such a big impact.

In the future, there will be more teams in Hollywood.

As you can imagine, the Racing Gang, the Avengers, the Justice Gang, the X-Men, the Rohan Gang, the Hunters, the Death Gang, and so on.

These teams can fight on the big screen, show off their professionalism, and show off their hormones and tough lineups.

Of course, if the Racing Gang wants to continue to exist, box office success is a prerequisite.

Although it is an exaggeration for the media to say that this is the most crowded summer file in history, the films with a lot of investment do crowd the entire summer file.

Just a week before the release of "Fast and Furious 5", "Transformers 3: When the Moon Dark" released by Paramount Pictures has just landed in North American theaters.

But this typical Michael Bay-esque film has suffered a certain degree of aesthetic fatigue in North America, and has dropped significantly from the second part, which only won $97.85 million at the box office in the first week in North America, which is lower than the industry's consensus expectations.

And the content of this film also shows that the important location of "Transformers 3" to make money has shifted to a broader overseas market.

In the second week of the release of "Transformers 3: When the Moon Darkened", a film like "Fast and Furious 5" was released, which also had a huge investment and publicity.

There are no surprises, on the first day of release on Friday, "Fast and Furious 5" easily surpassed "Transformers 3" with $14.8 million for $55.6 million, and landed on the throne of the single-day box office champion.

And the film's media and audience reputation are also good.

In terms of reviews, IMDb's 16,725 viewers scored 8.6, temporarily ranking the highest in the series.

Cinema Score collected 1,557 audience ratings in theaters, with an overall rating of "A", and an average score of 79 from 56 media outlets.

The vast majority of the media affirmed the entertainment level of "Fast and Furious 5": "The Hollywood blockbuster worth going to the cinema so far ---- "Boston Globe", "Its entertainment is worthy of five-star recommendation---- "The Hollywood Reporter", "The characters are three-dimensional, the action scenes are wonderful, the team combat is tacitly coordinated, and the scenes are realistic and shocking----Los Angeles Times", "The movie that brings you all the sensory stimulation ----AP", "Pretty cool, quite ----cool" Entertainment Weekly" ......

However, at the same time, some media criticized the film: "This movie should not be called Fast and Furious, but Slow and False---- "Entertainment Online", "Jump cuts and flashbacks, these things will shake you so hard that you can't see the movie clearly, and it's good to be able to resist not throwing it out---- "World News Weekly".

Overall, "Fast and Furious 5" is a typical word-of-mouth and box office explosion.

On Saturday, with the addition of good audience word-of-mouth, "Fast and Furious 5" maintained a relatively stable trend, earning $51.2 million on the day.

In terms of many media reports, "Fast and Furious 5" set off a box office storm in the closing stage of the summer file.

Three days after the opening weekend, the film earned $151.23 million in North America, surpassing "Transformers 3" with $47.1 million and becoming the new North American box office leader!

It cannot be ignored that this is the box office figure achieved by "Fast and Furious 5" without the high ticket price bonus of 3D.

Meanwhile, Cinema Score predicts that Fast & Furious 5 will grossed no less than $350 million at the North American box office.

The film will be a strong contender for the 2011 North American box office title.

Compared with North America, which has just started, "Fast and Furious 5" landed in theaters in many overseas regions as early as last week, and spent a full week on the other side of the Pacific.

After winning 453.38 million soft girl coins at the box office in the first weekend, the film continued to be popular in the new week and seven days, collecting 495.6 million soft girl coins from the Pacific Pair.

In just a dozen days, the box office of "Fast and Furious 5" on the other side of the Pacific has already approached the billion soft girl coin mark, and it is almost $150 million when converted into dollars.

The rapid construction of cinemas on the other side of the Pacific Ocean provides the most basic conditions for the expansion of the market, and the huge population is showing the potential of the market step by step.

Proud of the explosion on the other side of the Pacific, "Fast and Furious 5" has so far accumulated more than $398.5 million at the overseas box office.

The film's global box office combined easily surpassed $500 million!

The failed series that was bought from Universal Pictures has become a real money harvester.

But Matthew and David Ellison will not rest on their laurels, and Disney will continue to invest resources to expand the promotional and marketing scale of the film so that more people can enter theaters.

With a large amount of money invested, voices touting Fast and Furious 5 can be seen in many places.

"Fast & Furious 5 is a great movie that will bring you Fast & Furious and will not disappoint you!"

"It is said that "Fast and Furious 5" uses the best shooting technology today, and many scenes are live-shot, making the drag racing in it more realistic and exciting in front of the audience, with a production budget of up to $160 million, which can definitely be classified as a top production in Hollywood, plus the director is still Justin Lin, who directed the third and fourth films, he went from the failure of "Tokyo Drift" to "Fast and Furious 4" already knows the film well, and no one is more suitable to direct this series than him. ”
