Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
Early the next Friday morning, Daisy went out to the nearby theater, she parked the car and bought a few newspapers when she came to the Emperor Theater, but at half past eight in the morning, the theater was already open, and there were still many fans who came to watch it early.

It's also a North American tradition, and Friday is the start of a new weekend for Hollywood films, and for fans, it also means that there are a lot of new films just released.
Holding a newspaper and carrying a backpack, Daisy walked to the ticket window, probably too early, there is only one window to sell tickets for the time being, and the ticket sales have just begun, and more than a dozen fans are waiting here.
"Twilight, one." One girl said, "Thank you." ”
The girl took the ticket and walked away satisfied, one of the two boys in the back, handed over a dollar bill, "Inglourious Basterds, two!" ”
"Inglourious Basterds, three!"
"Twilight, one!"
The people in front of Daisy, without exception, chose these two films, "Twilight" was released before Thanksgiving, and now it has passed the hottest stage, relatively speaking, more people buy tickets for "Inglourious Basterds".
And she also found another point, the people who went to see "Twilight" were basically women, and the boys all bought tickets to "Inglourious Basterds".
Bought a movie ticket for "Inglourious Basterds", and since it was still early before the opening time, Daisy came to the rest area, found a seat and sat down, opened the newspaper she bought, and waited quietly.
Daisy has no interest in current affairs and politics and other news, and reads the newspaper directly to the entertainment section, first of all, a copy of the Los Angeles Times, where on the front page of the entertainment page, you can easily see reviews of several films that have just been released this weekend, the most conspicuous of which is Murphy Stanton's new film "Inglourious Basterds".
"Inglourious Basterds is a well-crafted, extremely complex, and at the same time lawless film. In this crazy world, there seems nothing wrong with Hitler and a group of Nazi high-ranking people being killed happily. Yes, acts of war between states turned into personal revenge, and Hitler died just one more time. Ingeniously, Hitler died in the cinema, in front of the burning screen, which shows Murphy Stanton's ambition: cinema is no longer a tool for the unbridled play of power, but on the contrary, it becomes a weapon for the execution of evil and the achievement of justice. Let Hitler, then, die happily in the cinema. ”
There are still these hidden in the film, Daisy can't help but scratch her head and open another copy of the New York Times.
"Inglourious Basterds is a cool mix of postmodern and old-fashioned and entertaining. It's fair to say that Murphy Stanton made this film with all of his housekeeping skills, including memorable characters, dense and nutritious dialogue, amazing twists and turns, and a visual style. Murphy Stanton, with his one-of-a-kind black style, made a World War II dream of his own. ”
Daisy nodded slightly, not only the reputation of the audience on the Internet, but also the professional reputation of the media, Murphy's films can always please a considerable part of the audience at the same time, but also win the applause of the media and film critics.
"Inglourious Basterds' story is messy, not flawless, and very egoistic, but Murphy Stanton also brings great enjoyment to the audience, the film is full of blood but glory, Murphy Stanton's war fantasy may make history go up in smoke, but his film is an outstanding contribution to the Holocaust of World War II."
The Washington Post also received excellent reviews, and "Inglourious Basterds" won unanimous praise from the three major newspapers in the United States at the same time, which also strengthened Daisy's determination to let go of that bit of unhappiness and watch the film later.
Finally, Daisy opened the Chicago Sun and found the film review column of the famous film critic Roger Albert.
"Murphy Stanton's ability to incorporate elements into his noir style, coupled with his unique cinematic talent, will always be able to make films unlike any other before. The latest release of "Inglourious Basterds" is dark and tyrannical, vivid and smooth and cautious, historical facts and cranky thoughts fly together, realism and surrealism are the same, real people and fictional characters are mixed and matched, famous historical events are entangled with notorious evil deeds. Films, novels, war histories, memoirs, photographs, music, paintings, all the pop culture elements of World War II, Murphy used them all for his own use, and finally created a World War II wonder movie! ”
At the end of the film, Daisy also sees Roger Albert's trademark thumbs up.
It's clear that the famous film critic is also very fond of Murphy's new film.
The theater began to check the tickets, Daisy walked into the screening hall with great expectations, and the film did not disappoint her, not to mention other places, just the ending suddenly broke out of Hitler, and the Nazi high-level was put to a pot, which made the audience in the entire screening hall climax.
In addition to cool and cool, she couldn't find any adjectives.
If "Man of Steel" uses heavy and depressing themes to create a fatalistic epic sense of attraction, then this film is like a fool, killing all the Nazi high-ranking people in an almost nonsense way, highlighting the cool and cool!
Sitting in her seat and watching the subtitles fall, Daisy suddenly found that her previous dissatisfaction with Murphy Stanton disappeared without a trace, how can a director who can make such a wonderful film not be loved?
Of course, it is impossible for any film to win everyone's love, and often as many people like it, there will be as many people as they dislike it.
Moreover, even if "Inglourious Basterds" is changed by Murphy to be more popular, it is still not suitable for all fans.
Criticism of Inglourious Basterds on the Internet is not without it.
"If Inglourious Basterds isn't a bad movie, and Murphy Stanton isn't a bad director, then the world is crazy, and you can go ahead and tout your 'unique tastes.'" What I see and feel is a big bad movie made by a bad director, because few bad people can really push a bad movie to our eyes. ”
But these voices are not mainstream after all, and it is difficult to influence too many people, Murphy has been in Hollywood for so many years, and people who don't like his black style just don't like it after all, which is also a reality that is difficult to change.
In the space of Friday, "Inglourious Basterds" easily surpassed the previously released "Twilight", and the attendance rate and film scheduling rate were far ahead, and it became the single-day box office champion of the day without any suspense.
"Even last Thursday's advance game, it was only $18.9 million ......"
In the back garden of Wave Manor, Margot Robbie saw her golden ponytail thrown behind her and said to Gal Gadot, who was walking on the stone road with her, "The box office will definitely not exceed $100 million in the first weekend." ”
"You're too demanding, and you're too unrealistic, Maggie." Gal Gadot grabbed her arm, "How can an R-rated film with this theme have a box office of more than 100 million in the first weekend?" ”
Margot Robbie leaned closer and grinned, "I know it's unrealistic, but thinking it's a Murphy movie, it always works wonders." ”
Gal Gadot shook his head helplessly, "He's just an ordinary person. ”
The R-rated film with this theme grossed more than 100 million in the first weekend, which is not a miracle, but a fantasy.
Walking through the garden, the two saw several people sitting under the palm trees drinking afternoon tea, James Franco beckoned to them first, and Gal Gadot and Margot Robbie hurriedly walked over.
"What are you talking about?" Gal Gadot sat in the chair next to Murphy, who poured her and Margot Robbie a cup of tea each, and replied, "Jim officially invited us to his and Lily's moving party. ”
Gal Gadot looked at James Franco, "When?" ”
"The weekend before Christmas." James Franco admonished, "You and Murphy must come." ”
Gal Gadot knew about the friendship between the Stanton party members, and without thinking about it, he said, "We'll be there on time." ”
"Yes, it must be there!" Jonah Hill on the other side put down his teacup and reminded, "Don't forget, I also have a very special gift for you." ”
James Franco shrugged, "Hopefully it's not something that ruins the party." ”
Jonah Hill gave him a middle finger directly.
Hearing these words, Margot Robbie looked at James Franco and then at Gal Gadot, who understood what she meant and gave an encouraging look.
"You ...... Is there going to be a party? Margot Robbie asked tentatively, "Can I participate?" ”
"Of course!" James Franco immediately said, "I've sent an invitation to your brother David to come with you next weekend." ”
"Hmm!" Margot Robbie nodded and laughed.
It was undoubtedly a pretty important party for James Franco and Lily Collins, and Murphy knew that it would not be easy for these two to come together.
And Lily Collins also seems to have a way of getting a pedophile. Instead of looking for a new goal, the fetish is preoccupied with her, and more importantly, the two have been blessed by Lily Collins' mother.
In the face of this situation, Murphy can only say that Hollywood couples are extraordinary.
Confirmed to attend James Franco and Lily Collins' moving party next week, Murphy then embarked on a busy post-screening promotional work, "Inglourious Basterds" has already had a good first-day box office performance, and no matter what the way it is considered, he hopes that the next harvest will be even better.
The box office and commercial earnings of this film certainly can't be compared to "Man of Steel", as long as anyone with a normal head can see this.
After the first-day box office of $18.9 million, "Inglourious Basterds" collected another $22.1 million on Saturday, and the rising next-day box office also bodes well for the film's opening weekend.
