In third place is the comedy "Dude, Where's My Car?" that was released in 2,087 theaters and grossed $13845914 in its first week. 》

This movie is completely suitable for the situation, Rotten Tomatoes smashed it all over the body, and the box office and word of mouth are just average.

As for other films, it is even less worth caring about, in front of "Resident Evil", there are either blockbusters that have already earned enough dollars and are contentedly waiting for the end of class, or ordinary movies made into small budgets, as if there is no threat at all.

Wait, there's a movie too!

Also released on December 22, 2000, Hollywood A-list actor Tom Hanks starred in "The Rest of the Desert Island"!

Desert Island Survivors is a film released by Twentieth Century Fox Pictures and DreamWorks. The film is about a FedEx employee who is shipwrecked in the South Pacific Ocean and wanders to a desert island, which is very similar to "Robinson Crusoe". The film's tagline reads, "At the end of the world, he began his journey"

And Tom Hanks, is the protagonist of "Forrest Gump", that is, this movie, with Tom Hanks's wonderful play, in one fell swoop killed the highly respected "The Shawshank Redemption" in the world, especially the Chinese people.

And Tom Hanks also won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1994 and 1995.

Oh no, plot and adventure are the labels of this movie, and the Oscar winner is its starring role, will this cause problems for "Resident Evil"?

Zhou Hei Chicago Sun compilation article says:

There's no denying that Smith Chow's understanding of cinema is different. When we were hoping for a thrill, he wisely sent Saw to create an amazing trend, a whole new genre.

But when we wanted the excitement to last, he told us I was going to shoot a girls' choir!

Okay, we accept it, slowly put down the heartbeat that has just been stirred up by the death mechanism, and follow the camera of Smith Zhou to cry and be moved.

But when the choir sang in the streets and thousands of communities, we hoped that this emotion would continue, and Smith Zhou jumped out and said that I was going to shoot zombies!

Oh, my God! Director Smith Chow, can't you just stop a little? Can you stop tossing yourself and the audience so much?

Shoot along a good path and keep improving, can't you keep improving?

On the contrary, Tom Hanks is the representative of the American people, and he always tells us to be strong, from "Forrest Gump" to "Desert Island Aftermath", as it has always been!

I suggest that the young director who thinks out of the box should learn from Tom Hanks!

And when another media interviewed Zhou Shaoming and told him about the Sun newspaper's comments, Zhou Shaoming almost couldn't breathe with laughter.

"Forrest Gump taught me that life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next piece will taste like. I don't know what my next movie will be, I just respect my own heart, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, so I shoot it and bring it to the whole world, I don't think there's anything wrong with my actions. ”

"Is there anything else you would like to say about the Sun's commentary?" At the end of the interview, the reporter still turned the question back here.

"I want to say that even my nemesis, The Sun, would not dare to say that Resident Evil was going to be a box office failure, and they knew that my film was going to be invincible over Christmas!" Zhou Shaoming said with a smile, paused, and then his eyes were full of confidence and perseverance.

Bar auditions, TV auditions with exploding surnames, amazing visual effects and parkour sports that face the whole world in advance, subverting the zombies with surnames and deepening the connotation of the movie, Zhou Shaoming feels that "Resident Evil" cannot fail!

"People who don't think well of you end up looking down on you, and they always question others with all sorts of incompatible reasons. If your movie is doing well at the box office, they must say that the movie has bad taste and is just a popcorn movie. If your movie is full of names and meanings, they'll say oh my God, the actors' clothes don't fit, and the box office results are terrible! So, I don't have to try to convince it with words, all I have to do is use the box office results and the applause of the target audience to slap it in the face. After Zhou Shaoming finished speaking in one breath, Shi Shiran stood up and left in a chic manner.

Who said that Chinese must be humble and polite, and can only be polite in the face of the media? Who said that in the face of such a white person who dares to express himself, the Chinese must remain humble and restrained? Who said that Chinese must be traditional, and it is not a bird to be killed?

"Smith Zhou declared that he would use the box office and word of mouth to slap his face!"

The next day, a large headline in the newspaper published Zhou Shaoming's firm and calm expression, coupled with these somewhat arrogant words, which once again set off countless scolding wars over the United States.

Time will not stop, the day of the release of "Resident Evil" has finally come.

On December 22, three days before Christmas, it was also 12 o'clock at midnight, and "Resident Evil" officially landed in 3,057 theaters across the United States!

The entrance of the cinema was crowded with people, and there were even people queuing up to watch the opening of the ticket window. With no end in sight, the long line left the theater and made several turns in the street.

No way, everyone wants to see Smith Zhou's third work for the first time.

The last time at the scene of "Chainsaw", the NBC reporter George was very injured and was trampled by the surging crowd and almost died.

“**！ Last time, I was a rookie rookie Smith Chow, his crazy fans almost trampled me to death, and now that he has become a phenomenon-level director, and then I go to interview his movie box office, I'm afraid I'll be carried out! George screamed in fear, creaking with snowflakes under his feet.

"There are too many Christmas activities, everyone in the station has a task, you stay away from the cinema, keep a safe distance, it's okay!" The cameraman has changed, but he is also big-shouldered and round-waisted.

“**，**！”

Scolding and scolding, George still honestly took the cameraman to the cinema, shrunk his head in the wind and snow, and was more than ten meters away from the crowded cinema.

"So far? Don't you get any closer? It should be fine. The videographer kindly reminded George.

"Didn't see as many fans as Smith Chow? There were even people standing in line in gangs, so I didn't want to be pushed to the ground again and stepped on countless feet again! George sniffed unhappily, straightened his appearance, and motioned for the cameraman to begin.

"This is NBC Cable, I'm reporter George, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Today we're going to talk about Resident Evil, the third film of phenomen-level director Smith Chow! Can this film, which has been in the newspapers on the Internet recently, take the world by storm like the first two Smith Week films? Today is the ticket sales for this movie, how will it really perform at the box office? Let's take a look. ”

Pointing his hand, the far movie theater door was crowded, George held the microphone and said loudly: "It seems that there are a lot of people who buy tickets, and they even leave the movie theater!" It's clear that Smith Chow's "Resident Evil" is hard to find! ”

In the distance, a whole group of people held slogans, waved all kinds of flags, lined up in a neat line, and rumbled!

“saw！”

The head was a bald muscular man with a big waist and a round waist, waving a huge flag and shouting loudly, white cold air erupted from his nose, but the whole person was full of red light.

In the line behind which there was no edge in sight, most of them were young men, all of them cheerful, waving all kinds of small flags, running to the cinema.

George is a little confused, Chainsaw II has already been released, and the North American box office collected $160 million before reluctantly disappearing, why are there still SAW fans here?

Did you go to see "Resident Evil"?

Making up his mind, George gave full play to his reporter's keen sense of smell, rushed forward, pulled the bald muscular man who hit his head and asked, "Hello, I'm George from NBC Cable TV, may I ask what you are doing shouting the slogan of SAW?" ”

"Hello, I'm White, we're a team of Smith Week fans, and we're organizing to see his third film, Resident Evil! I believe this must be a film that can go down in the history of cinema, just like SAW! White snorted white air and said excitedly, he didn't expect to be on TV, and waved his hand at the camera in surprise.

"But you're watching Resident Evil, why are you shouting SAW?"

"No matter what type of film Smith Chow makes, we never forget that he is the father of the chainsaw. No matter how wonderful and memorable his later films were, he will always be the father of chainsaws in our hearts! White put away his smile and said very seriously.

Then he turned around, raised the flag, waved his big hand violently, and shouted: "SAW! ”

“saw！” Everyone in the team roared suddenly, and the earth-shattering roar caused snowflakes to fall from the trees on the roadside, attracting everyone's attention on the street.

"Let's go, cheer for our father of chainsaws!" He waved his fist fiercely, as if he had hit something, but the anxious White did not turn his head, and with a team of three or four hundred people, he shouted slogans like a battle and rushed straight to the cinema.

Of course, as a well-cultivated fan team, Smith Week gives the best treatment to die-hard fans is that they can buy group tickets and see their works for the first time.

The cameraman was drenched by the snow on the tree, and the snowflakes turned into snow and fell down his neck, so cold that he shivered, and he couldn't even carry the camera, and slapped his clothes desperately, and he didn't capture a word of the conversation between George and White later.

After filming the snowflakes, the cameraman finally carried the camera again, and the team roared away, with a slogan that shook the sky!

"George, George?" Only to find that the reporter George had disappeared, and the cameraman shouted in confusion.

Looking down, George fell to the ground, his eyes black as a panda without knowing who had beaten him.

"What's the matter, are you okay, George, wake up!" Putting down the camera in a panic, the cameraman pinched and slapped him in the face, and finally woke George up.

“**，**！ Damn Smith Chow, damn fans, it's too much of a bully! I'm never going to take any more interviews about Smith Week! George woke up and sat on the snow for a long time before he covered his eyes and began to cry.
