(Today's seventh update, ask for subscription, ask for reward!) ）

Friday, May 10, the first day of the official release.

On this day, three new movies were released at the same time, and after this Friday night, the movie with the most views and ratings on the IMDB website was "Fast and Thrilling", with more than 800,000 users participating in the rating, and the main page score was as high as 8.8, while the TOP250 score was 8.4, which is a crazy score for a purely commercial action movie.

The previous works with high scores on IMDB are all excellent works that can inspire and cleanse people's souls. But "Speed and Excitement" doesn't have much connotation, so it played the banner of "Chen Tiandu's pure commercial film" from the beginning, that is to say, it is directly for the box office not to win awards, and it is simply and concisely picked.

But now the score on the first day of release is actually higher than the score of 8.6 points for "Forrest Gump", as well as classic movies such as "City Lights" and "Modern Times", which is incredible.

The Los Angeles Times really got a hit, and the huge headline occupied half of the entertainment page, "I haven't watched "Fast and Thrilling", don't say you've watched action movies in the future!" "They gave the film an A+ grade.

The New York Times used a large photo of the premiere with the car as the front page of the entertainment edition, "The calm Christmas Chan on the outside is actually a crazy guy to the limit inside." This is the most exciting visual feast since the opening of this summer. Hundreds of cars have been crashed or blown up, from trucks to trains to tanks to airplanes. The whole process challenges the audience's visual nerves. The thrill of tension is adrenaline-pumping. "Fast and Furious" adds heat to the hot summer. The earth has been completely unable to stop the madness of Christmas Chan. But this movie is only the first in a series. We can't help but sweat for the follow-up movie, the first one is so hot, how should we shoot it in the future? ”

The Chicago Tribune has been a bit of a disgrace to the matrix before, but this time it also gave a full A grade, reporting: "It's a catastrophic action scene, the plot is hearty and passionate." There is no urine point in the whole film, and there are cool points everywhere, "Fast and Exciting" brought the first super cool and fast journey this summer. ”

In addition to the overwhelming response on IMDB. The Rotten Tomatoes website also exploded.

The audience's liking rate is as high as 98%, and the comments are full of words such as "crazy", "breaking through the sky", "the best this year" and so on; In the reviews of film critics, Rotten Tomatoes included 160 film reviews, 145 of which were fresh, and only 15 of them were written "The noise is too heavy, I don't know what to do", but these 15 film critics were immediately doxxed by netizens, they were all partial to Universal or Warner compliments, and they were clearly a guy who made other people's salaries go against their will. After being exposed, the pages under the column were suddenly scolded. It's really tragic to be whipped alive by fans who are excited when they die.

The film was very widely publicized before its release. Now once it is released, the word of mouth is bursting.

When countless fans saw this level of word-of-mouth, they immediately thought of the craze when "The Matrix" was released, and what they imagined at this moment. Is it another classic like "The Matrix", but the slogan they played is obviously a pure commercial film. What is there to see in a commercial film, it is nothing more than violence, explosions and beautiful women, what can be seen. couldn't bear the constant discussion of its topic around people, which eventually attracted more and more fans to go to the cinema to watch.

The explosive and crazy action scenes in the film have also received unanimous comments from the audience, and many viewers have watched it once and are not enough to watch it, so they rewatched it a second time. And on the official website of the matrix, it is even more lively, and there are too many fans discussing the movie.

The Matrix also made a big stab with the subtitle, applying the Los Angeles Times commentary: "If you haven't seen "Fast and Furious", don't say you've watched an action movie!" ”

As soon as the movie was released, it quickly became a hot topic on the Internet and in life over the weekend, and viewers shared their viewing experiences on various social media, and "speed and excitement" has become a popular element this summer.

"The plot is tight, the scene is hot, the lines are humorous, and everything is almost perfect!" There are such comments everywhere.

The first day passed, and the time came to test the results.

When the number was passed to Chen Tiandu, he glanced down at it, then threw it down, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The box office on the first day of the opening was 32.5 million US dollars, and as soon as this figure was announced, it immediately caused a lot of discussion, and it can basically be announced in advance that "The Mummy 2" will withdraw from the weekly box office champion in advance.

Because the cumulative box office of "The Mummy 2" in the next weekend and three days is estimated to be not as much as the box office of the first day of "Fast and Thrilling".

As a purely commercial action blockbuster, fans and audiences consider whether to watch it more because of the audience's liking, rather than the connotation and significance of the critics' evaluation, not to mention the freshness of the well-known film reviews of "Fast and Thrilling".

Saturday came, followed by Sunday. It was the first weekend of "Speed," and countless moviegoers poured into the cinema.

This is the only movie that Chen Tiandu is not R-rated, and children can go to the cinema to watch movies, which invisibly attracts the fan group that has been lost before. You must know that children are a very important box office guarantee, and they often bring the whole family to watch them together, so Hollywood cartoons often have a good box office result.

Today, almost eight out of 10 theatergoers will say to the ticket seller, "Give me a ticket to Fast & Thrill." "Only a few of them are shared with other films in "The Mummy 2".

Stallone quietly went to the cinema to watch "Fast and Passion" and was caught by fans and refused to admit it.

I don't know which media kicked the first to break the news, saying that Stallone declared, "Although I still don't like the director of the movie very much, there is no doubt that I like this movie." Seeing this report, fans on the matrix network suddenly became lively, this is Stallone is soft, admitting that it can't compare to "Fast and Passionate". "Life and Death" is both box office and word-of-mouth. It's all a mess. Then the next one is Need for Speed.

Chen Tiandu is not a person who rushes to kill. happened to be interviewed about this matter, and he also responded casually, "I think "Life and Death" is still very good, it is very encouraging as an inspirational story, and I plan to take the time to watch it again." ”

It doesn't matter who you please, it's just that one more friend is better than one less enemy, and you don't need to think too much about it.

Universal is also in a cold sweat, so hot. It also doubled the pressure on the distribution department, but at this time it was unavoidable. If you retreat, it will be clear that it is better to admit it, who will go to the cinema to watch a movie.

In the midst of the bustle, the weekend of May 10th and 12th was boiling in the middle of summer, and gradually passed......

Before the screening, a topic was formed many times, and after the release, it brought a word-of-mouth frenzy, a discussion trend, and a movie-watching storm, and finally came up with a jaw-dropping box office number today:

"Fast & Thrill" topped the charts without suspense, winning the weekend title by an absolute margin. It was released in 3,124 theaters across North America. It grossed $32.5 million in one day on Friday and more than $52 million on Saturday. It took just two days to set a record for the opening of the box, another $39 million on Sunday, and $123.5 million in three days.

It successfully broke the first-week box office record of $72 million for 1997's "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World". And last week, "The Mummy 2" just broke the box office record of 64.8 million set by George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel" in 1999. This week, I was kicked into a corner by "Fast and Passion".

And the box office of 32.5 million on a single Friday also beat the $22.6 million set by "Toy Story 2", and the box office on a single Saturday also beat the record of "The Mummy 2". The statistics of Hollywood number jù are simply too detailed, in short, as soon as this box office number jù appeared, it immediately refreshed N box office records.

This weekend, "The Mummy 2" was obviously affected, and only earned a total of $31.04 million at the box office, and the cumulative box office exceeded $116 million, which is not as good as the box office of "Speed" in three days combined. In third place is this week's new Columbia-produced "The Legend of the Knight" starring Hollywood up-and-comer Heath Ledger and set in medieval Europe, which has won third place with $17 million in the past three days.

An interesting number, "Speed" actually doubled the box office of all the films in the TOP12 this weekend combined, accounting for 75% of the amount, which is simply insane. Crazy movies, crazy box office!

The era of the weekend box office exceeding 100 million has actually appeared here!

The cake of the blockbuster market was fully captured by "Fast and Furious", and its strong appearance suddenly made everyone who doubted it shut up, and the box office review list described this weekend's champion as: "Christmas Chen's pure box office bomb, all the audience is gasping, and the whole action blockbuster movie is trembling in fear!" ”

Many media began to analyze why "Fast and Thrilling" got such a good box office, and the first factor was naturally attributed to the Internet viral marketing that had too obvious effects, which was obvious to all, and they were crazy. Even the director himself makes fun of himself, you can't accept it. The second is to ask for a hot and good-looking trailer, and when they released the trailer, they had already fought with the two movie giants, so that when they released the trailer, they attracted too much attention, and then the other two movies were a little too late, so that the trailer of "Speed" instantly left a deep impression in the hearts of fans.

The third factor, of course, is the film's strong action creativity, as well as some blockbuster structures that are ahead of the times. No wonder Peck, CEO of Matrix, said in an interview: This movie, even if you watch it 15 years later, will still produce such a box office. In fact, this is what Chen Tiandu said at the meeting.

Many people expected that the box office of "Fast and Furious" might be fierce when it was released, but no one expected this result. Chen Tiandu took the matrix company, like a crazy lion rushing into the flock, tearing up two new films, and stomping "The Mummy 2" to death by the way. Now everyone's focus is no longer on this week, but on whether DreamWorks Animation's animated blockbuster "Shrek" can kill them and win the weekend box office next week.

"Shrek" comes from DreamWorks Animation, which has an excellent reputation, and the quality is naturally not said. When it was tested in a small area earlier, it was also full of praise. And family movies will always have a very high box office potential in the United States, and maybe they can really do it.

This week, all the leading actors of "Fast and Furious" have become American celebrities, and the talk show announcements that have been delayed by the constant detention and postponement have been told that they can be advanced, and more announcements have been invited spontaneously. They will be sure to take advantage of the situation to win more sets and defend their title next weekend.

The box office of the movie is so hot, these actors naturally have nothing to say, even if they don't give bonuses, they have to run happily. Even Jason Statham, who was filming in France, couldn't stand such a happy box office result, so he took a leave of absence and ran back quickly. He is the biggest villain, and his popularity in the film is not low, so he naturally wants to join in the fun. (To be continued......)
