Chapter 434: Records, Founded to Break (Part 2)

Is a new weekend premiere box office record about to be set? This is currently the most concerned topic in the entire North American film market.

It's funny.

Looking at the praise of the media and film critics now, they didn't say that at the beginning.

All kinds of abusive words made Chen Tiandu almost embarrassed.

Perhaps it is the strong sense of contrast from the previous disbelief to the current film quality exceeding expectations that has created today's reputation that is greater than the actual reputation.

Such a pirate fantasy film praised by media critics and praised by everyone is about to be praised by everyone, which reminds many people of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings", although it lacks the feelings and spirit of "The Lord of the Rings", it is also fantastical and thrilling enough. It's just that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a comedy, and if you want to get the same Oscar achievement as "The Lord of the Rings", it will inevitably be a little "stretched". But comedy also has the advantage of comedy, comedy has a wide audience, endures, and is easy to screen for a long time. Everyone loves to watch comedy, and they may make great strides at the box office.

Many young people are impressed by the captain, and they really don't mind the birth of a new pirate culture, this is a new era for them.

How should the box office of Pirates of the Caribbean be predicted?

Analysts are feeling a bit of a headache.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not a profound epic film from a story point of view. Rather, it is a typical commercial work, even a comedy style. But at the same time, it's a very, very special kind of movie, and it's sure it's going to be a hit at the box office.

However, it is still a little early to say that it can break through the global box office of 1 billion, and it is still easy to break through 300 million in North America.

Although its reviews and opening week box office will definitely exceed everyone's expectations, there are still many negative factors, especially the overall sluggishness of the theater market now; Since the beginning of the new century, the box office market in the United States has been significantly weaker than it was in the 90s.

If it doesn't do anything. Obviously even more unlikely, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has everything to be a big hit, and it is off to a good start at the moment. As for how far it can go in the end, we can only wait and see.

While the media, fans and fans are amazed and admired. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still going ahead with its premiere Sunday, which is bound to be a blockbuster with a premiere of more than 100 million.

The rest depends on whether the box office can break his previous box office record of $120 million for "Fast and Furious".

The theater owners who are most happy about "Pirates of the Caribbean" now, and the bosses who didn't sign a screening contract with the Matrix beat their chests, even if they immediately pounced on the Matrix Film Headquarters to compete for the film disc, they would miss the first few days, which was bad, but the theater company still had to pick up the phone.

It's a big gold mine. For theaters, it's even more so for matrix movies. In the past, Matrix has always relied on cooperating with large companies to develop movie peripheral products, and profits will inevitably be diluted. The most typical is the periphery of "The Matrix", which is one of the best-selling movies in recent years, but unfortunately the matrix can not get much from it.

Now it's Pirates of the Caribbean's turn, and there's finally a chance to show off what you're up to.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a treasure these days, and if it wants to form a new culture, it must not be limited to movies. Comics, books, TV series, games, and so on can all be developed; Fans are indispensable to collect peripheral toys, such as character models, animal dolls, a set of equipment for the captain, musket models, and long knife models. Compass, captain's hat and more.

Not long after Chen Tiandu gave the order, he received Peike personally reporting to him about the sales of peripheral products. The sales of peripheral products of the film are simply hot.

"In just one day yesterday, sales around North America reached $8.8 million, and with 6.5 million sales on Friday, the sales of peripheral products have exceeded 10 million. And a significant number of sales outlets are starting to run out of stock. Now the phone calls for orders are almost bursting. According to the sales commission signed between us and the major manufacturers, we can get at least 30%. If this situation can be maintained, perhaps the profit of the finished product around the light. It's far greater than the box office. ”

Chen Tiandu also had a smile on his face and said, "According to the normal law." Merchandise usually doesn't reach a sales peak until a week after the film's release. Your idea is too fairytale.

In the midst of all the disturbances, the premiere week of "Pirates of the Caribbean" finally passed. 3800 ...... in North America It was later added to more than 4,000 theaters and grossed $35.2 million on Sunday. A record $133.32 million was earned over the opening weekend, breaking the box office record for a Hollywood film on its opening weekend (including Thursday midnight screening).

Hollywood was shaken and even the social pages of some newspapers contributed headlines to Pirates of the Caribbean's record-breaking journey. The Hollywood Reporter reported: "Two years ago, Chen Tiandu used "Fast and Furious" to unprecedentedly raise the opening weekend box office of a North American blockbuster to hundreds of millions of times, setting a seemingly unattainable record. Since then, "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man" have had a chance to break this record, but they are lacking after all. When people thought that this record would be held for a few more years, two years later it was still Chen Tiandu, who broke his own box office record with a pirate movie that most people in the industry were not optimistic about before. ”

"The opening weekend box office record of a Hollywood movie has to be broken by a foreigner in a row, which has to be said to be a bitter ridicule of Hollywood's big names. We often say that Europeans invented movies, Americans carried movies forward, but now, the Chinese are setting box office records. ”

"Fortunately, this Chinese is still in Hollywood, and he is still shooting Hollywood movies, which finally puts a fig leaf on the Americans."

The report is clearly conservative, but quite a few American conservatives are very concerned about it.

The United States claims to be an open country, but they have never been able to do so. Proud whites, even the black community, can't stand a yellow person who keeps them from looking up.

In society, some not-so-good rhetoric has also begun to appear.

"The United States has been in economic crisis for many years, and where the money goes, it has been earned by the Chinese."

"Shit movie, a pair of rotten shit, he's here to steal money. Then take the Americans' money back to China and build his film empire. I heard that he is building a movie theater in China......"

"Americans with a conscience should boycott this movie and stop going to the cinema to watch Pirates of the Caribbean."

“……”

There are not a few similar remarks, but fortunately, this kind of argument only exists in the mouths of some angry young people in the United States, and no celebrity dares to say it openly.

Chen Tiandu can ignore these, he is sure that he will make money, and he will make more money in the future. Besides, this kind of thing can't be explained, the more he explains, the more confused he becomes, he just needs to pretend to be deaf and dumb and bury his head to make money.

However, the California Immigration Bureau sent an inquiry again, asking him if he wanted to change his American nationality, but Chen Tiandu directly ignored him. If you want to change it, it will be changed many years ago.

Once again, the same person broke the premiere box office record, which was not only reported in the United States, but also attracted a lot of attention overseas.

Maybe it's for Kate's sake that the British are actually saying good things for Chen Tiandu.

Most Europeans outside the UK are watching the theater, and they can't get more dollars out of the pockets of Americans, but they admire Chen Tiandu, an Asian, for doing all this.

Regarding Chen Tiandu's life resume, more and more people are interested:

self-made, he broke into Hollywood alone, and made ten movies in a row in a few years, not including those of the producers. Count carefully, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is Chen Tiandu's tenth work.

The efficiency is terrifying, and the quality has never fallen below a 7-point evaluation.

Luc Besson, a great French director who claims to only make ten films in his life, made his eleventh work this year, and at this moment, when making a film in the United States, he was interviewed by the media and rarely commented on this film, "Now there are some not very good arguments in the United States, and some people can't see the Chinese making dollars wantonly, but they don't know." American movies are the biggest box office sellers in the world, and you've broken into the world, and you're the least qualified person in the world to say that. ”

"Some people only see the huge box office numbers, but they don't see the story behind it."

"When I watched the film, what moved me the most was not the movie images, but the first row of subtitles at the end of the film. Producer, director, screenwriter, starring, all one person. If you look at it carefully, there is also his name on the name of the soundtrack. The entire movie is almost single-handedly run by him. This is not just something that a hard-working 'workaholic' can do, but it requires an almost devout love for cinema. ”

And throughout all his films, almost all of them are handled by him. He did it, and he deserves to be where he is today. ”

Luc Besson, a Frenchman, made an assessment, which had a wide impact, and the controversial report of The Hollywood Reporter suddenly became untenable and began to be criticized by his peers.

If Hollywood movies are to loot the box office around the world, they will have to extinguish this jealousy themselves. What's more, there is only one Chen Tiandu in the whole world, how much can he earn.

Even this little money has to be calculated, and you can only appear to be stingy.

And the media that are most keen to follow is still in Asia.

There is only one Chen Tiandu in the world, and this Chen Tiandu was born in Asia. And now, he has created a box office miracle again. With what the Americans do best, conquered the arrogant Americans.

This kind of achievement is simply against the sky, and the media in China's two sides of the strait and three places have frantically reported, reprinted, and commented on it. The media in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and other places cannot be ignored either. At least everyone is Asian, which can be regarded as giving Asians a long face. (To be continued)
