After a two-month postponement, Fire Lion Pictures' official first shot in this summer's file - "Spider-Man" was finally released on Friday, July 5th!

On the day of the premiere, because the movie schedule was delayed again and again, many fans waited for the autumn water.

On the day of the premiere, there were long queues outside movie theaters in major cities across the United States, and fans who couldn't wait to see the film were all vying to see the film for real.

Although it was not intentional, "Spider-Man" did form a rare "hunger effect".

"How's it going? No box office results are out!" Although it was late Friday night, Fire Lion Pictures was still brightly lit, and a group of executives and distribution colleagues led by CEO Jon Philheimer were nervously calling the North American theater alliance to get the box office results of "Spider-Man" at the earliest.

At the same time, because "Spider-Man" is Sid's latest film after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", it can be said that the whole of Hollywood is staring at the performance of "Spider-Man".

In addition, with the superposition effect of large-scale intensive releases and bombardment publicity, Hollywood movies, especially movies with popular schedules such as the summer season, account for an increasing proportion of the overall box office in the first two to three weeks.

In the first-week box office, the performance of the first-day box office is the most important.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Sean, the distribution manager, jumped up excitedly after answering the phone, but only heard the "squeak" sound.

It turned out that the cinema alliance sent the latest results and faxed it.

"Squeak times—" When the results of the fax print came out, Sean couldn't wait to take them out and look at them, and he immediately raised the results and shouted, "$42.4 million!"

"Hat!", "Really?", "Holy!"

Everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise, $42.4 million!

This is already more than the first-week box office results of many films, and if it is customary, tomorrow Saturday will be even better, because more people will gather in the cinema for the weekend.

If tomorrow's box office performance is better than today's, Jon Philheimer can't imagine how far the opening weekend of "Spider-Man" will be.

The next Saturday, the box office of "Spider-Man" rose again to $46.62 million.

On Sunday, the third day, Spider-Man's results, although slightly reduced, remained stable at $34.81 million.

As a result, the box office performance of "Spider-Man" in its first weekend has accumulated to $123 million!

Not only did it become the best-ever debut film from Fire Lion Pictures, but it was also the highest-grossing film in global film history on its opening weekend!

Sid has once again broken another record in film history!

With the large-scale release of "Spider-Man", almost one-sided praise and word-of-mouth also spread with the release of the film.

The Los Angeles Times was the first to release a film review, and they praised "Spider-Man" in the newspaper, saying:

Whether it is the film's tense and exciting plot design or realistic and wonderful special effects, it makes people change their stereotypical impression of manga movies. Sid Leonhardt not only succeeded in creating a "Spider-Man" on the silver screen, but also completely saved Hollywood's comic book adaptation!

And the "New York Times" did not hesitate to praise - although the plot of "Spider-Man" is excellent, and the characters are real, but what moved me the most was Peter Parker's uncle Ben, who grabbed his hand and said the sentence "With great power comes great responsibility".

The birth of a hero is never a simple and easy thing, from Peter Parker to Spider-Man, the film shows us a real and touching superhero.

The Chicago Journal, meanwhile, focuses on actors — before Spider-Man, I could hardly have imagined that Tobey Maguire could play a superhero who saves the world, but in Spider-Man, this calm and reserved actor shows us a different side of him.

And Anne Hathaway, who plays the heroine, also shows her lively temperament as a New York girl, although there are not many scenes, but it leaves a deep impression on the audience.

"Spider-Man" can achieve such a large-scale, applauded and popular success because it hits the social collective psychology after the super event of 911.

For example, the representative line in the film, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", shows the American heroism and the dedication of me for everyone and everyone for me.

This is just like the firefighters and rescue policemen who were praised by the media after 911, in the face of huge disasters, even the old beauty who advocates freedom is actually very clear about the meaning of great love and dedication.

Or do you really think that a country that doesn't even understand such things, and doesn't have the slightest sense of self-discipline and collectivism, can really become the most powerful superpower in the world?

After 911, this psychological tendency of the public can be described as a stage of infinite amplification.

"Spider-Man" perfectly hits this collective personality - it's hard not to think about it!

With a wide range of praise from the media and fans, "Spider-Man" continued the strong momentum of the first week in its second week, closing with a strong score of $71 million, which not only successfully topped the North American box office charts!

And let "Spider-Man" break through the 200 million box office mark in just 2 weeks!

Shatter glasses.

In the next third week, "Spider-Man" was still strong like eating spring, falling only 10 million, ending the week with a shocking 60.5 million.

This made "Spider-Man" exceed $300 million at the box office in three weeks, completely creating a new "myth"!

Whether young or adult, small or old, everyone is full of praise for Spider-Man.

The film received almost one-sided rave reviews, coupled with director Sid, who sold two albums in succession in the first half of the year, making his appeal among young people unparalleled for a while.

The record success of "Spider-Man" not only made the fire lion excited, but also made Warner Pictures angry inside and outside, and Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Now he understands the reason why Sid dares to spend $2 billion to snap up DC Comics.

Who makes people have this ability and self-confidence?

However, for Barry Meyer, although the "four-point plan" in New York was temporarily interrupted, the fact that the fire lion bit DC Comics from his thigh will not change.

With the unprecedented success of "Spider-Man", the direction of comic book movies in Hollywood has changed overnight, and although it has not yet surfaced, Fox Film has begun to explore the possibility of launching "Fantastic Four" after "X-Men".
