Chapter 833: Epic Opponent
As long as you open the newspaper and open the blog, everyone can see that "Avatar" has received overwhelming praise. 【】
"James Cameron's unparalleled imagination is overwhelming throughout, this is the movie ~ this is the blockbuster ~ this is the masterpiece ~ this is the fantasia ~"
"The overwhelming visual beauty that proves the new height of technology, and the sensual shock comes and goes, and even makes you stingy with the number of times you blink"
"The unknown planet is extremely real under the precise technology and rigorous setting, the audience's heart will be completely brought in, the unprecedented impact is sudden, and the awe generated by Cameron's unbridled creativity and control is spontaneously born, and the most expensive production fee in the history of mankind is not spent in vain"
There is even a hegemonic assertion that "if you are still human, you can't be charmed" in the praise......
Led by Premiere magazine's "Most Beautiful Movie of All Time", authoritative media such as The Chicago Reader, The Chicago Sun, Empire, The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Weekly, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Reelviews, Slate, Time, Variety, The Wall Street Journal and other authoritative media gave away the highest scores indiscriminately.
And Vicente George, editor-in-chief of "Premiere" magazine, wrote in his column:
"Avatar" may be nominated for an Oscar in any department other than the Acting Award and Costume Design Award, and the Best Visual Effects Award has even had a result, and once the North American box office of this film exceeds the $400 million mark, the best picture of the little gold man may also be in Cameron's bag~"
In the face of the overwhelming wave of praise for "Avatar", Warner began to panic a little, while Fox regrouped and began to increase publicity.
From the fourth day of the showdown between the two films, the nightmare of the whole Time Warner came......
"Avatar" is striding forward like a titan giant, and the overall box office is like "Titanic" that year
received $16.39 million on Monday, ranking second in the history of "non-holiday Monday" in film history, second only to the $18.14 million on the fourth day of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", even if it ignores holiday factors such as Memorial Day ** day, it can also rank 11th in the single-day results of Monday in film history;
Tuesday earned $16.09 million, ranking first in the history of "non-premiere Tuesday".
Wednesday earned $16.45 million, ranking second in the history of "non-premiere Wednesdays" and second only to "Transformers 1" on the second day of its opening with $29.07 million
Thursday received $11.33 million, ranking first in the history of the Christmas Eve box office in film history;
Friday earned $23.55 million, the first in the history of the box office on the second Friday after its premiere, even if it competes with those works that opened on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the $23.55 million earned by "Avatar" on the eighth day of filming can also rank 10th in the history of "non-premiere Fridays" in film history.
Saturday harvested $28.55 million, up 21 percent from Friday. 2. Sunday's harvest was $22.9 million, down only 19. 8。
"Avatar" entered its second week, and the single-day decline was only a shocking 2. 6, and the second-weekend earnings of $75 million are enough to go down in history
At this time...... The executives at Warner already felt cold all over their bodies and were in the ice cellar......
Because everyone can see that "Avatar" will be a box office blockbuster that makes full use of the New Year's Pass to play its long-term advantage, and they are likely to witness the fall of the North American box office of 300 million next week. And after Martin Luther King Jr.'s anniversary, crossing 400 million is by no means a dream
If the new films in the same schedule are not enough, "Avatar" will be allowed all the way to the presidential anniversary schedule on Valentine's Day in February, and it will kill 4. 500 million 500 million is not impossible......
And at the global box office, it's only a matter of time before "Avatar" crosses the billion-dollar mark......
Among all of them, only Gu Xiaofan had not been mentally prepared for a long time, Nolan, Jonathan, Bell, Chen Keer, Liu Shishi and others were already surprised by the inner shock.
Even Nolan, who has always thought he is the best in the world, finally wavered and muttered: "I must go see this ghost movie." Then he pulled Jonathan and Bell by the day, and the day before the release of "The Dark Knight", he sneaked to a theater to see the magnificent movie with a cost of $500 million.
After the three of them came back from watching the movie, in the face of Chen Keer and Liu Shishi's inquiries, the three of them had different expressions, Bell had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, and Jonathan was suddenly lost, and said to himself again and again:
"I look at the 500 million North American box office, and I say that it is less...... James Cameron is simply a god... How can we compare to him...... It's too powerful. ”
Only Nolan said excitedly: "Xiaofan, do you know? Cameron has created a beautiful world "Avatar" is the epic of the movie~ This is simply amazing, I have never admired a director so much, but from now on, I am a fan of Cameron~"
Chen Keer and Liu Shishi both glanced at each other, and they both saw the despair in each other's eyes, they thought that "Avatar" would be a great movie, but they didn't expect that it would make the three main creators collapse directly after watching it......
Everyone looked at Gu Xiaofan at this time, wanting to see how he reacted, but they didn't expect Gu Xiaofan to suddenly smile easily and look at Nolan:
"Director Nolan, you explain to us, why are you so good in "Avatar", and you are still so happy?"
Nolan's eyes lit up with excitement, and he said with an extremely arrogant smile:
"I'm happy because such a great movie is in front of us, not behind us, Cameron helped us warm up the scene, and now is the time for our protagonist."
"Wait...... I'm confused, Director Nolan, didn't you say that "Avatar" is great? Liu Shishi was a little confused.
"Greatness is greatness......" Nolan hadn't answered yet, Gu Xiaofan stood up and said in a certain and firm tone:
"But that's the greatness of the computer CG, except for the graphics, there is nothing in "Avatar" that can compare to our "Dark Knight", Cameron just did a good supporting role, and now it's our turn to play the main character."
Saying that, Gu Xiaofan and Nolan raised their hands and "snapped" their high-fives in the air, and both of them laughed.
Jonathan and Chen Keer looked at these two movie maniacs who were already enthusiastic, they both shook their heads, film artists don't care about the market, but this is the most important part, "Avatar" is indeed lackluster in terms of plot and actors, but the huge impact of picture and 3D technology will make up for all this, I'm afraid that at the box office, they will lose completely......
In the face of such a god-level opponent, it is really difficult to achieve the goal of 500 million global box office......
"Alright, let's all go back and rest." Gu Xiaofan clapped his hands passionately, his eyes were full of fighting spirit: "Tomorrow, when we have the world premiere of "The Dark Knight", let the people on this planet see what a truly great movie moment is." ”
The most formidable opponent in history not only did not make him afraid, but made his blood boil all over his body
Cameron's Avatar ...... He has met such opponents a few times in his life, and now is the time for them to appear
