Chapter 420: Who Dragged Behind

On the first day of release, the attendance of the two films was comparable. ww.w.yan+kuai.c.om

Under the strong team, there is no power to fight back at the same time.

Even, because "Hulk" has a previous work, this version of the Li case version of the movie performed better at the box office in the early stage than "Captain America". This performance made a stressful Li case feel a little gratified. Because this movie really put him under more pressure than he could have imagined.

He didn't know how to use computers, and he made a science fiction film for the first time, and the first time he made an adapted comic. Even the special effects production of the movie alone is as high as nearly 60 million US dollars. It's really hard to have a computer blind to study computer special effects.

In addition, in order to make this movie, Li's family members can be said to have all participated in helping. His wife Lin Huijia is a microbiologist, and the plot of the genetics and biochemistry part of "Hulk" is that Lin Huijia first helps Li Case understand, and then Li Case finds someone to write a script, so that the audience can see it clearly. The pictures of human cells in the movie were also borrowed from Lin Huijia; In the movie, there is a scene where the Hulk fights with the monster dog, and the graphics of this monster dog are drawn by Li Han, the eldest son of Li Case. Because the movie involves a deep discussion of human nature, Li was afraid that young audiences would not understand it, so he used his youngest son Li Chun as a test, and Li Chun reassured his father after watching it: "No problem, young people are very precocious now." ”

In order to shoot this film, he not only forgot to go home to visit his parents, but also did not even make a phone call. It's really all about the movie. If you change to a big-name Hollywood director, how can you have such a good consciousness.

Therefore, anyone's success is not accidental.

Over the course of the weekend, "The Incredible Hulk" grossed $75 million, taking the top spot at the weekend box office. "Captain America" also temporarily ranked second with $72.5 million over three days of the weekend.

Two movies crossed the $70 million mark at the same time in a week, pulling the market straight up. This result set a box office record for Hollywood in mid-June, and it also directly stunned the theater operators.

God knows, almost all theaters have been operating at full capacity in the past three days, and they have to make a lot of money just selling popcorn.

In its fifth week of release, "Speed 2" earned $10.53 million at the box office. North America accumulated $295 million. Overseas began to fall sharply this week, and the influence was far less strong than the first one. Perhaps it was the popcorn that must have cooled down after the hottest period passed, and only $47.2 million was taken at the overseas box office this week. fell by more than 70%, with a cumulative overseas of $383 million and a total global box office of $678 million.

This result can only rank fourth in the weekend, and in third place is the counterattack "Finding Nemo" with $20 million. Animated films have such long-term projection characteristics that can firmly attract audiences.

The weekend's box office sparked a lot of discussion. The most interesting thing is how much operability of the two strong films is combined. Whether there is a phenomenon of excessive consumption of fans. The reviews of the two movies are good and bad, and there is a gap at the box office, who is dragging down whom?

After the first weekend, these issues were immediately discussed by countless media outlets.

It is not difficult to see that the traces of rival companies making a fuss behind the scenes are very obvious. What's even more surprising is that some media have exposed that there are also disagreements within Universal, thinking that ""Captain America" has dragged "The Giant" back, and this unreliable cooperation from the beginning should be stopped in moderation. You know, we are the famous world. And they are just independent production companies, and the resources are naturally unequal. ”

Interestingly, this report actually originated from Universal's media.

"Ho ho ho, before the cooperation is hot, it starts to tear up." Now the rest of Hollywood is gloating to see how they take the next step.

After all, Universal is not a voice, and driven by interests, Carlos couldn't hold it back, and complied with the proposal of the board of directors to terminate the chain cooperation. The global media also began to appear all kinds of "Captain America" news in an instant. "If it hadn't teamed up with 'Captain America,' 'The Hulk' might have surpassed 'Spider-Man' as the highest-grossing comic book hero." This argument also shows the ambition of the world.

Marvel's buyback of the Hulk, which had almost become a fact, is now also starting to run aground. Universal isn't going to let go.

Everything is against the Matrix, but the Matrix is silent. There has not been any news discrediting The Incredible Hulk. Neither can they do that. The outside world seems to be calm, but in fact, within the matrix-Marvel, countermeasures have been discussed for a long time.

"What is the current film review and audience reputation?"

"At first it was more talk about 'The Incredible Hulk,' but after Sunday, 'Captain America' was significantly more popular than 'The Incredible Hulk.'" Kevin Feige analyzed, "I feel like I'm out of the world. It doesn't necessarily cost "Captain America". After all, the hype we had already achieved results. This time it was 'hyped' again, although it was very infuriating, but it also had the effect of boosting exposure and publicity. ”

Hearing his analysis, most of them nodded in agreement.

This is also the current reality.

In addition to the box office of "Hulk" in the first weekend, which still surpassed the box office of "Captain America" by a large margin in the case of chain ticket purchases, film review ratings and word-of-mouth have gradually begun to diverge.

Lee's Hulk Hulk is the most thought-provoking film adaptation of the comic book at the beginning of the 21st century. It's not so much a story about a green behemoth as it is about two hurtful and extremely self-centered older kids. The film not only addresses but explores issues such as genetic experiments, the misuse of scientific research, and our instinctive fondness for the unsuitable. Lee's case focuses on the issues involved in the Hulk's story, not just the brainless special effects.

But critics don't seem to be interested in "The Incredible Hulk," which they see as similar to the "humorless" comedy "The Impostor," which came in at No. 5 at the box office with $10 million.

Maybe it's because in the Lee version of the case, the role of "Hulk" is the least successful part of the whole film.

It's not bad in close-ups, but in long shots, he's a bit clumsy. The large-scale action sequences in the film pale in comparison to the film's central drama, the relationship between two fathers and sons.

has a score of 6.5 on IMDB, and the audience freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 52%, which can be regarded as the worst reputation of the Li case.

And Joss Whedon's "Captain America: The First Avenger" has not received high reviews, but it is much better than "The Incredible Hulk" in comparison.

Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness rating of 68% and an IMDB score of 7.0. Because the captain who has been clamoring for a resurrection has finally survived many years of lying on the salary and trying his courage and turned over in one fell swoop!

The Washington Post: Chris Evans brings a believable, unpretentious and steady temperament to the character Roger, and Captain America is definitely the most appealing Marvel Comics hero on screen. The New York Times: There's a charming, juicy, dashing, heartfelt spirit to the film. USA Today: A light-hearted, retro-style, shocking World War II story. Chicago Sun-Times: Among the many comic book movies that have been adapted to a dead end, "Captain America" can give us some inspiration. ……

The good media evaluation also made Chris Evans, who was once at a low point at the beginning of his career, say that his popularity has rebounded comprehensively with this work. The effect is so good that it goes far beyond the big green guys over there.

At least the American girls fell in love with the big breasts and handsome faces of the American team all at once.

Of course, there are not a few negative reviews, and the evaluations outside of the United States are not good. This movie can be said to be the main theme of promoting the United States in Chiguoguo.

For example, the Chinese media NetEase reported: "Captain America" is a "tall and all" character who is "fake and empty", but it makes it difficult for the audience to resist this kind of "sugar-coated cannonball" from heroism. ”

Sina also wrote, "This movie doesn't spend much energy on the earth-shattering fight scenes between Captain America and the enemy Red Skull, but instead uses a lot of scenes to show the evolution of captain Yankuai, the nobility of spirit, the deep friendship with his good friend Bucky, the partnership with his good teammate Howard Stark, and the regretful love story between him and his beautiful teammate Peggy." For most viewers who have not read the original comics of "Captain America", it is difficult to take seriously this heroic character who is called 'Tinker Bell' (the elf in Peter Pan "Peter Pan") by American GIs in the play when they first see this labor army dancer wearing bright tights and red boots during World War II. ”

There are even more radical media, directly pointing out that this is Chen Tian licking the ass of the Americans, deliberately touting the main theme of the United States. Is he Chinese or American?

It's a pity that this kind of argument has no market under the crowd of Chen Tiandu's huge fans.

Someone slandered the boss, whether Chen Tian knew it or not, Matrix Wushuang did not choose to be silent, and artist director Lin Zhiling explained: "Hollywood is actually not so easy to match, otherwise why would there be so few Chinese who have been able to gain a foothold in Hollywood for so many years." It's hard enough to get a foothold in Hollywood, and if you're in Hollywood and you rant at Americans, it's no wonder that Americans will curry favor with you. Think about it, if you were a Japanese or Korean working in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the other side was abusing the Chinese in your own works, it is estimated that you would have been on fire at that time, shouting to let him get out of China. ”

"So, no matter how you look at it from the above, this "Captain America" should be an American-style movie."

In the hustle and bustle, the second week of release ended.

After the box office was announced, there was a sudden earth-shaking change on the charts.

Now everyone's eyes widened, who is dragging his feet? (To be continued.) )
