Since the North American release of Michael Bay's "Transformers" in July, "Man of Steel" has lost its former popularity, and although it can still stay in the top 10 of the North American box office charts every weekend, the daily box office increase has fallen to the million-dollar level, and some weekday box office has even fallen below the million-dollar level.

No matter how hot the summer blockbuster is, it is always difficult to get rid of the crazy law of going fast and going fast, and more than half of the total box office in North America is often generated in the first few weeks.

"Man of Steel" is no exception, after the North American box office exceeded the $400 million mark, the number of theaters and the screening rate continued to decline in July, and by the end of the month, the number of theaters screened in North America fell to 1,200, with a scheduling rate of less than 5%, and it has entered the final stage of screening.

After a long month of screenings, "Man of Steel" took another $37 million from North America, and the total box office in North America reached $444.55 million!

In the case that "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3" were dragged down by the audience's word-of-mouth, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is no longer the courage of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and "Transformers" is still the first part, the box office figure of $444.55 million is enough to ensure that "Man of Steel" will win the first place in the total box office list in North America this year!

It will also be Murphy's first annual North American box office title since he entered Hollywood.

Overseas, with no new heavyweights joining the show, "Man of Steel" only grossed more than $150 million in the entire month of July.

However, the global box office figure of "Man of Steel" is infinitely close to the $1 billion mark.

As long as the global box office exceeds a billion dollars, "Man of Steel" will inevitably soar, and even Murphy, the director, will benefit greatly from it.

In August, "Man of Steel" was officially released in Japan, which also became the key to the film's global box office exceeding one billion.

As we all know, the Japanese film market has always been a strange place, and no one can measure the country's audience by the general market rules, but one thing is certain, American-style comic book hero movies have never been very popular in this country, even the American comic hero Spider-Man, who is known as the most popular American comic hero in Japan, has not achieved much box office figures in the trilogy.

But "Man of Steel" only needs the help of a new market, and it doesn't need much explosion, even if the Japanese market is poor, there is no problem in getting a box office of tens of millions of dollars.

and North America, although it is in the final stages of screening, it can still contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars at the box office every day, plus the contribution of other overseas markets, by mid-August, the overseas box office of "Man of Steel" broke the billion dollar mark without suspense.

After the third weekend of August, the latest box office statistics of "Man of Steel" show that the North American box office has accumulated 451.68 million US dollars, and the global box office has totaled 1.01159 billion US dollars!

After "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin", "Man of Steel" has become the fourth film to cross the billion-dollar mark at the global box office since the birth of the film.

Murphy is also the fourth director to accomplish this feat.

The most important point is that he is only 27 years old this year, which is far younger than the others, and in the eyes of Hollywood and the media public, young means unlimited potential.

There is an inevitable rule in Hollywood, when a star or director is smooth sailing and continues to achieve outstanding results, the media is basically praised.

This time is no exception, the third week of August in North American entertainment media can be renamed "Murphy Stanton Week." ”

"Hollywood has never had a director like Murphy Stanton, and throughout the history of cinema in the world, no director has ever done so well at Murphy Stanton's age."

-- Entertainment Weekly

"Murphy Stanton has a natural talent for directing, and an insatiable curiosity to create countless memorable moments, but he continues to push himself to perfection and achieve something that is hard to achieve!"

- The Hollywood Reporter

"A director's career trajectory is often as compelling as his work, and Murphy Stanton is such a director."

-- Yahoo Entertainment

"Murphy Stanton has the eye of a painter, he stands on a high place, with the epic war and the human struggle under his eyes, as if he has seen so many things that we can't believe, and through one work after another, he turns the unbelievable into reality."

- "Empire"

"While shocking special effects and the upcoming 3D era revolutionize filmmaking, Murphy Stanton remains focused on the key to success – a brilliant narrative!"

-- The New York Times

"No one has been able to embody the inner struggle of humanity in such a specific way through his films as Murphy Stanton, who has achieved in just a few years of his career that most directors have achieved in their lifetimes, but he never stopped his footsteps, and his work will speak for itself."

- Los Angeles Times

"Murphy Stanton's work is a paradox. Despite his mild-mannered approach, he has always been artistically bold, moving back and forth between forms and taking risks, and in the controversial Man of Steel, he managed to give comic-book heroes a human sensibility. In Gone Girl, the traits of the thriller are used to describe something deeper, more profound. ”

-- The Washington Post

"Ever since he became an adult, Murphy Stanton seems to have been constantly observing the world, and he seems to have translated all the phantasms he has ever seen into his own use, creating his own unique style of telling those wonderful stories in his films."

- Vanity Fair

"There are few directors who can contribute as much to film noir as Murphy Stanton, who is a visionary who likes to push the boundaries of the medium's imagination and clearly depict his endless desires, while changing the way we watch movies."

- The Miami Herald

Just looking at the praise of the media, Murphy seems to have become the top super directors in Hollywood, in fact, it is not too much, the box office and word-of-mouth of "Man of Steel" have effortlessly improved his status in the industry.

Now that Murphy is a first-line director in Hollywood, I believe that 90% of people will not refute it, but nod their heads in agreement.

This frenzied media coverage culminated in Time magazine's inclusion of Murphy on the cover.

Since there is no real interview with Murphy, the cover is a photo of Murphy on the set of "Man of Steel", and the article that matches the cover character is also told from the perspective of a third party.

"When we met Murphy Stanton on the set of Man of Steel, we saw a young man with great energy and creative desire, he was tall and strong, dignified, with a bit of elegance and handsomeness, as if his profession was an actor, but he chose a director who did not need to rely on appearance."

"When he speaks, his voice is very soft, the accent is not heavy, and sometimes there is a little mockery. He took every question seriously, as if he hadn't heard them before, he didn't have any of the kind of answers he had practiced beforehand, and he wouldn't talk about them. ”

"Like other great artists, Murphy Stanton's reflections on life and the world have not become a burden to him, but rather an opportunity for him, which has stimulated his curiosity and his desire to explore."

"He's a director who likes to communicate with people, he's smart, he's funny, he's a little bit humble at times – and of course, he's proud of his films, whether they're noir entertainment or thought-provoking dark films."

"Even though he is twenty-seven years old, he can still see that childlike spirit in him—even a kind of innocence."

"However, when we get into the working state, we see a completely different director than when we were in our spare time. Murphy Stanton was in full control of the big picture on set, and he said that if there is to be light, there must be light, no matter what method is used; At the same time, he also firmly believes that human beings will not suddenly evolve to a certain stage, and then suddenly join hands and sing world peace, world harmony, peace must be achieved through higher military force. This deep-rooted philosophy gives Murphy Stanton's work its characteristic element, deep, dark, serious, ......"

"In Murphy Stanton's film world, he is the king, and fate accidentally brought this once lost youth into the film industry, which undoubtedly opened Pandora's box, and what he wants to do, there is no impossible."

There is no doubt that the media can guide public opinion, and after the media sang the praises frantically, Murphy has reached a peak in both fame and prestige, especially in the industry, and has stood firmly on the front line.

At the same time, in major cities in North America, various Murphy Stanton fan associations have also sprung up one after another, and in the discussion group of IMDB, they have also entered the top ten of all directors and stars in one fell swoop.

Bill Rothes is also extremely busy, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have made a very box office comeback with "Man of Steel", which is seen by everyone, although the two sides did not renew the new director contract due to high remuneration, but it does not prevent other Hollywood studios from chasing a young director who is constantly successful.

Film contracts were sent to CAA one by one, including invitations from other five major companies, and Murphy also asked Bill Rothes to pick out some good offers to send to him, if there is really a suitable type, he doesn't mind signing a contract, the premise is that there must be a corresponding director's salary.

Since he didn't find it yet, Murphy handed it over to Bill Rothes first, and he was going to participate in an auction with Gal Gadot to bid on the "Flower of Leith". (To be continued.) )
