Chapter 134: A bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth

$30.39 million!

In the first three days, the box office results of the premiere of "Never Compromise" were announced, and the three-day premiere results of more than 30 million made the media and the audience stunned.

It's not that this result is terrifying and unrebellious, in fact, this three-day premiere result can only be said to be good at best in the opening premiere of North American films, but it is definitely not shocking. But don't forget that this "Never Compromise" is just a movie based on a biographical live-action, not a blockbuster at all. Although it is seen as a leitmotif, that means that the core of the film is in line with American trends, but it does not mean that it is commercially valuable.

And don't forget that its film investment does not exceed 60 million in terms of promotional expenses, and one-third of the cost is used to pay for the salary of Julia Roberts, a big star. So in the final analysis, this movie is still a small-production film with a serious literary style. can't change the fact that it is slightly weaker in attracting money, in fact, many people understand that this movie is a movie that is going for the Oscars.

Originally, reporters and film critics thought so. So people didn't have much idea about its box office. It is also expected to be between 12 million and 20 million, which is normal. In fact, in the previous life, the box office of this movie reached 28.5 million, and in this life, the scandal between Julia Roberts and Sean may have increased the box office of this movie by more than one million, and it will reach 30 million in one fell swoop.

Just because everyone's expectations were low, many people were surprised when the premiere results came out. At the same time, I was also shocked by the box office appeal of Julia Roberts, Hollywood's first-paid actress. On this day, Julia Roberts's agent had dozens of more scripts and offers.

"Uncompromising" won the box office of the week in one fell swoop, and in second place was "Scream 3" in the second week of its release, which came in second place with $28 million. In third place is "Mission to Mars" published by Bowei. The box office reached 22.85 million.

As for "Deadly Romeo", with the support of Chinese and black North Americans, the results are not bad, but only good. Compared to this movie, it is a movie produced by Warner, and it is full of gimmicks, and the results of tens of millions cannot satisfy them at all.

"Never Compromise" reached the top with a niche film at the same time. The box office of the film is also on the rise in newspapers, online and other media. Critics and media outlets alike gave above the passing mark, and Julia Roberts' performance was seen as a breakthrough attempt.

"She didn't go to law school, she was dressed like a **, she was full of foul words and had a hot temper. But she has a heart that never compromises. It's not money, education, or appearance that can win people's respect, but what a person does! To Ms. Erin Broswich, to Ms. Julia Roberts! To director Soderbergh......" -- David Emby, the famous film critic of The Los Angeles Report, was full of praise for Julia Roberts' performance.

"After watching "Never Compromise", I saw Julia Roberts, who was wearing a low-cut dress + miniskirt + high heels + long curly hair, viciously speaking dirty, no matter whether the man or woman looked at it or not** greetings, men bastard. Woman bitch, it's really a pleasing thing to the eye! She is so vigorous and uncompromising in the face of all kinds of difficulties in life, which is really refreshing to look at, and I am proud of a feminist supporter! I don't think it's better to see this kind of woman overthrow authority in the face of authority, and I give my praise to Julia Roberts for her outstanding performance! -- Kelly Harris, the famous American film critic of the Los Angeles Times, praised not only Julia Roberts but also Sean in the newspaper.

"Of course, if you are touched by the smile that George forced out. Touched by the image of George playing with the child, he was driven back by George on a motorcycle. Just because of a phone call from Erin, if I was moved by Lin Lin's stories of the two, then I have to say that Sean's performance in the play is amazing. I noticed this actor from "Advance to L.A.", he played the addict who was in the wood, and in "60 Seconds", Sphink's performance I think many fans will be familiar with. That's right, it's that cool mess of cold-faced corpse movers! Now he's in this touching film again, and this time he's really surprised me. ”

After Kelly Harris gave a very detailed introduction to Sean, she also expressed her opinion, "Originally, I thought he was the kind of actor who could play marginal characters very well. But this time he surprised me. It's an ordinary man, but I think women who watch the film will fall in love with this ordinary Harley Lone Ranger. His role is not as tense and cool as in the previous movies, but it is warm and heart-warming. I love the family-responsible guy he plays. Sean Rodrigues Skloss, I want you guys to remember this name! ”

Kelly Harris's report on Sean's praise is like an incarnation of loyal crowds, the first fan, and her report has also received a lot of attention, Sean suddenly entered the eyes of many people, and this time it was recognized by more people.

McCraselle, a columnist and film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote in the newspaper, "At first, I thought it was a good movie at best, and there were no big surprises, because Erin's intransigence was unrealistic, but after seeing it, I felt more and more that this intransigence was her personality charm, and finally I, an old man, was also moved." All I can say is that this is one of my favorite movies of the year, and it's so easy to be real. may be the only drawback is that the film is a little timid in handling the case and avoids many sensitive topics. But the flaws are not hidden, and overall this is still a movie that people can't help but recommend! ”

"The storyline of the film is smooth, but there is a suspicion of showing off Julia Roberts's figure. I think that's one of the reasons why the film did well at the box office. I can only say that this is a beautified adaptation of the story after processing, and I think it fits the tone of the Oscars! -- Chicago Tribune. Roger Albert, a well-known film critic in the United States, gave a thumbs up.

The media across the United States generally gave "Never Compromise" a good review, even if there were a few nitpicking criticisms focused on the film's avoidance of the trivial story, but it didn't hurt, as the San Francisco Chronicle said, the flaws are not hidden.

Faced with a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, distributors are naturally happy to see it. Of course. Behind these praises, of course, their efforts are also indispensable. This is important for a film that aspires to the Oscars next year. Especially the evaluations of these big newspapers and famous film critics, who are often inextricably linked to the Oscar judges. So catering to them is also preparing for the Oscars.

There has never been a film dedicated to the Oscars that will go to public relations temporarily, and with the maturity of Oscar public relations, every movie that rushes to the Olympics will have a systematic public relations model. This is not the Hollywood of the '70s and '80s.

At this time, inside the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The two friends huddled in front of the computer and stared at the computer screen, constantly refreshing.

"Oooh...... Look here, look here, this tough evil king called drug making said here, the confrontation between George and the heroine in "Never Compromise" is cool! He also thinks that the actor named Sean is acting very well, especially a man! ”

Benedict pulled the mouse, turned his head to look at Sean beside him, and danced excitedly, "Man, you're going to become a star!" The box office reputation of "Never Compromise" was both explosive. I don't think it's a problem to be selected for the Oscar next year! ”

Ignoring the excited Juan Fu, Sean grabbed the mouse and pulled it down, and the whole forum was full of discussions about the movie "Never Compromise". This forum is a Yahoo website, and Sean usually likes to read these online reviews.

"Huh? This seems to be very interesting, they express the evaluation of the film according to the freshness index of the fruit, this Rotten Tomatoes index is very interesting, click in and take a look. Juan Fu couldn't help but be curious when someone mentioned the "Rotten Tomatoes Index" on the website, and clicked on it with the URL. At a glance, you can see the uncompromising Rotten Tomatoes index.

9.0。

The score is high, but that's normal. The film has just begun to be released, and there are not many reviews. Nowadays, there are very few evaluations, and it is natural to have high scores.

Seeing the website opened by Juan Fu, Sean is also very interested, this kind of rating is also available on the Internet, but it doesn't seem to be as creative as this. Of course. At this time, the Rotten Tomatoes website also seemed very rudimentary, but the idea attracted Sean.

"What the hell! This website is not only recruiting partners, but also advertising investment! Juan Fu was stunned and looked at the slightly rudimentary Rotten Tomatoes net in front of him, with the words "Recruitment partners, technicians, and executives!" And next to the fat was the words "seeking investment", "The problem is." There are really people who leave messages on it...... God, is that what websites do now? It's the weirdest way I've ever seen a recruit......"

Sean leaned over and couldn't help but be amused to see this scene.

"But you don't wait to admit it, it's a very eye-catching way, isn't it? And the people who watch the movie reviews on this site are also people who like movies or work on movies, so it's easy to find people with similar interests. Sean glanced at the slogan prominently displayed on the website and shrugged, "So you know, it's a good idea." ”

"Well, all I can say is that you Americans really know how to play." Juan Fu spat out and shrugged, "I hope this guy can find a partner and invest." At least as you said, the site is pretty creative. It reminds me of the days of musical performances, when the audience would throw tomatoes and fruits and vegetables on the stage to express their dissatisfaction if they were not satisfied......"

"Maybe that's what they came up with." Looking at the site called Rotten Tomatoes, Sean glanced at the eye-catching headline for investment and partners, and said to himself, "Maybe it would be a good idea to help this group of movie-loving guys." ”

"What did you say?" Juan Fu looked at Sean with his handbag.

"Nothing." Sean smiled and didn't say anything, his eyes saw the other party's handbag, and he raised his wrist to look at his watch, "Oh, I almost forgot your flight." I'll take you to the airport. ”

"That's right, Sean, I don't like being late for my flight, even though you bought the ticket for me, but you know that the British hate being late." Juan Fu shook his small curly hair with a cold face, carried his handbag, walked out with long legs, and then followed by the pillow that was smashed out by Sean.

"Shet! I don't like the British very much. Sean laughed and scolded Forbenny as he thought of a few Brits.

Seems to know a lot of Brits. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
