Chapter 353 "Legend" VS "The Lord of the Rings 2" - Strong Crush!

The next day, for a whole day, the words "I Am Legend" spread in the mouths of men, women and children all over the United States.

"I Am Legend" is too terrifying, so popular that it is difficult to find a ticket, copying hundreds of dollars a ticket, and how many people get up in the middle of the night and wait at the door of the movie theater.

Some people even made a fortune by reselling movie tickets, and in response to this situation, on the afternoon of January 15, all regular theaters in the United States took measures to buy only one movie ticket per day per show per ID card.

In fact, "The Lord of the Rings 2" is also very exciting, and everyone who has seen it has given it a very high evaluation, however, "I Am Legend" is too exaggerated, and the boredom at the beginning of the front supports the wonderful flattery in the back, so that many, many people directly ignore "The Lord of the Rings 2"

On the morning of the 15th, the box office performance of "I Am Legend" was better than that of "The Lord of the Rings 2", but not much better, but after three shows in the morning, the excited publicity of those fans who had watched "I Am Legend" made the reputation of "I Am Legend" very good, so on the afternoon of the 15th, the number of viewers of "I Am Legend" was far greater than that of "The Lord of the Rings 2".

At eleven o'clock in the evening of the 15th, the box office statistics for the entire 15th came out!

The box office of "The Lord of the Rings 2" No. 15 is more than 48 million! It's a good result, but when I saw the box office results on the first day of "I Am Legend", everyone was silent! Eighty million! The box office of 80 million is a terrifying box office result.

According to statistics, on the day of the 15th, the attendance rate of "I Am a Legend" reached more than 80%, creating the highest attendance rate in the history of North American films, which is still because the first scene was divided by "The Lord of the Rings 2" in the early morning, otherwise the attendance rate would be even more terrifying.

Although it was already the middle of the night. But at this moment within the supernova company. It's hot. Jon took the statistics in his hand, and he was so excited beside Zhou Shaoming that he was about to say bad things.

"Jon, that's an exaggeration!"

"Boss, it's not that I'm exaggerating. Really, really excited, eighty million! The premiere was 80 million at the box office, which was really unexpected! I know that the movies you make will definitely be a big hit, boss. But at first, I thought that even if I was exaggerating, it could only be at the level of "The Day After Tomorrow", after all, "The Day After Tomorrow" has already created a myth! Who knows eighty million, oh my! How many people have watched "I Am Legend", and now the evaluation of this movie is very high, when I ate at dinner in the restaurant opposite, everyone around me was talking about "I am Legend", and even the news on TV was broadcasting the popularity of movie theaters today. This kind of atmosphere of "Legend" for all is too exciting. Jon couldn't control his emotions a little anymore and said quickly.

"Haha, get used to it, I've made so many movies in Smith Chow. Which release was disappointing? Zhou Shaoming said with some sister-in-law, indeed. Not to mention that the premiere box office of 80 million surprised Jon, even Zhou Shaoming was surprised, in his estimation it should be 60 or 70 million, which is similar to "The Day After Tomorrow", after all, there are only so many movie theaters in the United States, but who would have thought that the attendance rate of "I Am a Legend" would be so exaggerated?

At this moment, Zhou Shaoming's phone rang, it was Bloomberg's.

"My dear Mayor, haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Shaoming said with a smile.

"After I came back from watching a movie with you in the cinema last night, I couldn't sleep all the time, "I Am Legend" is a good movie, in addition to the good plot, many things are even worth thinking about. Later, I fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, and this morning I rarely slept lazily, went to work in the afternoon, and has been paying attention to the box office refresh in the evening, and now the ticket results of "I Am Legend" have come out, more than 80 million, and I am a little excited, the first movie I participated in achieved such good results. "It's rare for someone as steady as Bloomberg to get excited.

"Haha Mayor, you must come to the celebration party of "I Am Legend"! "I Am Legend" is still very good from the results of the first day, even unexpected, I think the rest will not be bad, and when it is released for a month, there may be a celebration party in Los Angeles. Zhou Shaoming laughed.

"Would definitely go! Okay, let's not talk about it for now, go to bed, my two daughters are still clamoring for me to take them to see them once, and torture my old bones to death! ”

“”

"Boss, you said that the box office on the first day was 80 million, can there be more than 1.8 billion in the world?" Jon couldn't help but ask expectantly.

"The North American box office of "Titanic" is 600 million, and "The Day After Tomorrow" has been successfully broken, but the global box office of "Titanic" is really terrible, and it is not easy to break it! According to today's trend, the total box office in North America should be more than 800 million, creating the best box office in North America, but it is difficult to say about the world. Of course, there is still a certain possibility, and I may take the team to China to promote it later! Zhou Shaoming said slowly.

"Titanic" is too powerful, with a global achievement of 1.8 billion, which makes people look up, not to mention that a 3D version appeared later, and won a lot of box office, it is not so easy to kill this box office miracle film, but Zhou Shaoming is not in a hurry, there is an opportunity.

"Boss, films like "The Day After Tomorrow" and "I Am Legend" can sustain the company's development if they are released once a year, not to mention Ben and "The Walking Dead" and so on, and now supernovas are really not short of money!" Jon is a little emotional, a little relaxed, indeed, since the establishment of the company, the funds have not been very sufficient, Jon's courage is not easy, in the past six months, after the strong release of "The Walking Dead" and "The Day After Tomorrow" and the invincible posture of the current "I Am Legend", Jon is also relieved.

"Thank you!" Zhou Shaoming smiled and patted Jon on the shoulder.

At this moment, Zhou Shaoming's mobile phone rang again.

"Will!"

"Zhou, come out, drink, I'm so excited, Hugh and Harry are here, you take Jessica and Christina with you! It's a restaurant just across the street from Supernova.

"Haha, I was about to call you!" Zhou Shaoming laughed, he was very excited tonight, he was about to go out for a drink just now, but he didn't expect it

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shaoming just wanted to put the mobile phone in his pocket, but it rang again. Zhou Shaoming muttered helplessly: What's wrong today?

Take a look. It's Robert Jr.'s. Zhou Shaoming smiled slightly and took it.

"Zhou, your next movie will either give me a stake or I will be the starring role, you can't abandon me!" Little Robert cried at the first time.

"Uh. What are you stimulated by? Zhou Shaoming was a little speechless.

"What's the stimulus! You don't know how popular "I Am Legend" is, I doubt that if this continues, this film can become the most profitable film in American history, but the most depressing thing is that I don't have my share! Robert Jr. said indignantly.

"There will be opportunities in the future. What are you in a hurry! Zhou Shaoming said with a smile, thinking about "Iron Man" while speaking.

"Are you sure? Didn't fool me? ”

"Let's be honest! There is already a film waiting for you, and the protagonist must also be your film, but the time is not yet ripe. Zhou Shaoming finally revealed some news.

"Okay, that's what you said, Zhou, you can't lie to me! By the way, in two days I have made an appointment with Jamie, Tobin, and Christian to go to your house and have a drink! ”

“fuck。 Don't come! You know that you come to eat for nothing! ”

"What do you say?" Robert Jr. smiled sinisterly, and then scratched the phone. Zhou Shaoming was a little speechless, but he was still very happy, he was not lonely in his life with these good friends.

"Boss, you'd better turn off the phone! If you don't turn off the phone, you don't have to sleep tonight, and you will probably call! Jon, who was standing on the side, said speechlessly.

"If you don't turn off the phone, you don't have to sleep tonight, let's go, go out for a drink, Will called!" Zhou Shaoming said with a smile, and took the lead in walking towards the door, while walking, he called Christina, Jessica, Avril, Benjamin, Aziva, Riel Baker and others.

In the evening, Zhou Shaoming and his entourage drank, sang, and celebrated until 3 o'clock in the morning.

After Zhou Shaoming dragged his tired body back with Christina, Jessica, and Avril, he fell asleep directly and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

And the outside world about "I Am Legend" has already become crazy, and all major media are reporting on the increasingly popular box office results of "I Am Legend".

On the morning of the 16th, the box office has exceeded 100 million, and judging from the number of moviegoers, it seems that it will become more and more popular.

"Once again, I Am Legend was unexpected, and the results were exaggerated, where did Smith Week end? Could it be that decades later, the top 10 box office films in the history of European and American cinema are all Smith Chow's? That's terrifying! —Los Angeles Daily News

"I thought it was Mars hitting the Earth, but it was a comet hitting the Earth before it got there, and "The Lord of the Rings 2" seems to have completely fallen behind on the first day. It's not that The Lord of the Rings 2 isn't exciting enough, it's not that Peter. Jackson wasn't strong enough, but Smith Chow was amazing. —The Atlanta Daily Journal

"Looking forward to Spielberg's shot, otherwise, who else in the United States can compete with Smith on Monday!" -- The Washington Daily News

"The Lord of the Rings 2" is magnificent, both the plot and the scenes are very exciting, but "I Am Legend" is even better, the scenes, plot, ideas, etc. are all super-first-class standards, and what is even more commendable is that this movie can make people have an endless aftertaste after watching it, "I Am Legend" is a great movie, there is no doubt that Smith Chow succeeded again!"

"Lionsgate! Frank! Seeing Smith Zhou's achievements today, do you regret it to death? -- Miami Daily News

"Saw Class", "Cattle Herding Class", "Sparta", "Resident Evil", "Warrior", "I Am Legend". From the beginning of Smith Week to the present, every movie has innovations, has its own things to express, and what is even more commendable is that each movie has proud results at the box office and word of mouth. Smith Chow, one of the greatest directors in the history of American cinema, may one day be removed. —The Philadelphia Daily News

"Warner, Columbia, Fox, are you ready? The rise of supernova is not tomorrow, but today. —The Houston Daily Journal

These media newspapers, which are in the audience of Smith Week and Supernova every day, have given high and high praise, and Frank and the Chicago Daily News, as old rivals, did not express opposition or bombardment for the first time, perhaps because they did not have the courage to watch "Legend" in this atmosphere of watching "Legend" by the whole people!

On the morning of the 16th, the evaluation of "I Am a Legend" on the Internet was also very good.

On the 15th and 16th, more than 100 reviews were included on Rotten Tomatoes. Of which 103 are fresh. The decay is only 1, and the freshness reaches a terrifying level of more than 99 percent. The freshness of well-known film critics is also more than 95 percent. The audience liked it 100 percent, and the public score was 4.8 points.

Such a rating is terrifying, and it can be said that it has never been seen before or even for a long time.

The score on the TOP250 is also stable at more than 9 points.

The two most used words about "I Am Legend" on the entire Internet are shock and amazing!

"One man, one dog. A car! The first half of the film seems boring and bland, but it gives people a shock, a good experience, and a careful evaluation. It seems to have another indescribable taste. The character of the protagonist Robert, who is resolute and resolute, does not give up a glimmer of hope, and has the courage to admit mistakes and take responsibility, is really admirable. ”

"There are so many amazing things in the film, whether it is the touching of Sam Savior's death, or the innovation of zombies with emotions, or the dazzling zombie scenes, "I Am Legend" gives people a perfect feeling."

"Robert's love for his wife and son, for the care of a mother and daughter who have not been together for a long time, Anna's motherly love for her daughter, the relationship between Robert and Sam. The zombie leader's non-abandonment and non-abandonment of female zombies "I Am Legend" expresses too much affection and too much love. A horror movie, a zombie movie, but it can express so many things, maybe only Smith Chow can do it! ”

"Who can imagine how many people are complaining and how many people are insulting at the front of the movie? However, when the film ended, how many people couldn't help but stand up and shout excitedly, Smith Chow is really a great filmmaker. ”

"Smith Week seems to have reached the peak every time, but every time it brings excitement, shock, and innovation, you know, Smith Week is only a little over 20 this year! Where are his limits? ”

"The plot is twisty but full of positive energy, seemingly hopeless but always a glimmer of hope. "I Am Legend", a movie worth recalling. ”

There are so many reviews about the film that thousands of people are constantly refreshing the praise of "I Am Legend" on the Internet.

The national "legend" is definitely not an exaggeration, in the past two days, from the streets and alleys to the city square, without exception, the most talked about is the word I am a legend.

"I Am Legend" is too strong in the limelight, so that "The Lord of the Rings 2" is about to become cannon fodder, although the box office results of "The Lord of the Rings 2" in two days are not bad, but unfortunately, most people will go to watch "The Lord of the Rings 2" because they can't buy movie tickets for "I Am Legend".

There is even a strange phenomenon in the cinema, selling movie tickets for "I Am Legend" on one side and "The Lord of the Rings 2" movie tickets on the other. It's always one-sided, either everyone is at the party buying tickets for The Lord of the Rings 2, or everyone is partying to buy tickets for the movie I Am Legend.

And the reason for this strange phenomenon is that all the people who come to the cinema will first line up to buy tickets for "I Am Legend", and there is no one on the side of "The Lord of the Rings 2" during this time period, and when the tickets for "I Am Legend" are sold out, fans who have no movies to watch can only queue up to buy tickets for "The Lord of the Rings".

On the day of the 16th, the box office of "The Lord of the Rings 2" was more than 42 million, and the total cumulative amount was almost 100 million, and the results were still very good, but few people discussed "The Lord of the Rings 2", because all eyes on "I Am a Legend" were all eyes on "I Am a Legend".

The box office performance of "I Am Legend" on the 16th reached a new high, reaching a terrifying 86 million, and the cumulative box office reached 158 million.

In just two days, the box office results have exceeded the total box office of most movies, and I have to say that "I Am Legend" is a terrifying box office monster.

Many economists even expressed their opinions: The popularity of "I Am Legend" once again drove the film market, and even stimulated the growth of the American economy again, although the magnitude is not large, but because a movie can achieve such an effect, it is already shocking.

In the online statistical voting, how many times do you want to watch "I Am a Legend", as of the morning of the 17th, a total of more than one million people participated, and 60% of the participants chose three times.

This also reflects the reputation of "I Am Legend" from the side, such a good reputation, in the history of American films, is the first time, before, movies with a good reputation are generally the kind of unpopular movies with biographies, even if the reputation is good, the box office results will not be very good, but this time is different, this is a zombie blockbuster shot by Smith Zhou, such a good reputation is bound to bring long-term and effective box office results.

As for the box office results of "I Am Legend", many filmmakers have high expectations.

"With such a good reputation, coupled with the fact that there are only two movies in the near future, the final box office of "I Am Legend" will definitely be terrifying."

"Tickets for "I Am Legend" are hard to find, and many fans who have already watched it have said that they want to watch it again, so according to estimates, the box office popularity of "I Am Legend" will last for at least half a month!"
