The three-month summer season from May to July is the most important film schedule of the year in North America, during which it is full of films that want to make high commercial profits, and almost every weekend, there are more than five movies released, of which there are bound to be about two commercial masterpieces with box office competitiveness.

Since the late 80s, within the first ten days or even a week of the release of summer films, the box office figures captured can often account for one-third or more of the total box office in North America.

No movie can escape the inevitable law of the box office plummeting on weekdays the following week, and "Brave Island" is no exception.

On Monday, the film's single-day box office slipped to $4.87 million from $11.13 million on Sunday, and over the next three working days, the single-day box office remained largely at that level, earning $4.95 million, $4.62 million and $4.77 million, respectively.

So far, the film has been released in North America for a whole week, and the box office of the whole week has successfully exceeded the $50 million mark, reaching a whopping $56 million!

"Interview with the Vampire", which was released at the same time, although trapped by the genre of the film and the rapidly declining audience reputation, Tom Cruise's appeal is still amazing, even if it is constantly smeared by Duke and Warner, it still led the film to a good box office result, and won $43.25 million in seven days!

As for how much of it went out of Tom Cruise's own pocket, that's a secret.

A new weekend is coming, and this is also the last period of Warner Bros.'s high-intensity promotion of "Death Island", starting next week, Warner will inevitably invest its main resources in other summer release films, and "Battle Island" will also usher in a new strong competitor - Sylvester Stallone's "Desperate Mountains" after successfully suppressing "Interview with the Vampire"!

Since "Death Island" is already in its second week of release, the competition between the two films will not be as fierce as before, and the bottom line is slightly higher, at least Duke has not found any signs of mutual blackout in the big media.

The filmmakers of "Mighty Mountains" are building momentum, and the final high-intensity publicity of "Brave Death Island" has also set off a new round of madness, and the main target is ordinary fans.

David Gilph is an off-screen reporter for NBC's film promotion show "Movies of the Week," where he interviews general viewers about the film's reviews.

In this episode of the program, the most recommended film is the currently released "Brave Death Island".

"Anna ......"

In the living room of the apartment near New York University, Erin sat cross-legged on the sofa outside and shouted into the bedroom, "Hurry up, it's our movie, it's 'Death Island'!" ”

"When did it become your movie?" Anna walked out unhurriedly.

"It's a movie we love!"

As Anna sat down on the couch, Erin pulled open a can of beer and stuffed it to her.

"The same Duke Rosenberg work, with the same speeds, collisions and explosions, is more exciting, more deeply motive, and more plausible in narrative structure and emotional conflict than in The Speed of Life and Death......"

In the TV, the host talked endlessly about the advantages of the film, and he couldn't wait to directly send the audience in front of the TV into the theater to buy tickets......

For example, he commented on the high-speed slow-motion scene in which Goosby sends the signal at the end.

At the end, the picture of Goosby waving a flare, against the backdrop of music, makes people's hearts surging and shocking! It will surely become an indelible classic lens in film history! ”

"It's a really good shot." Erin put down the beer can, pointed to the TV and said, "I think many movies will definitely borrow this scene from Duke in the future!" ”

"If I make a film like this...... Anna thought for a moment, "I would definitely borrow it." ”

"In addition to the bomb perspective, the young director Rosenberg has created a new cinematic approach!"

As soon as Erin finished speaking, she was pulled by Anna, who also pointed to the TV series and said, "Can you be quiet for a while, Miss Lauder?" The live connection is about to begin! ”

As he spoke, the TV screen had already switched to Times Square, and David Gilph was standing in the lobby of the AMG theater chain, saying to the camera, "A 'Death Island' has just ended, and now we are interviewing a few viewers. ”

He quickly stopped a male viewer, and after a brief introduction of himself, asked, "You just watched "Brave Island"? Do you think this film is good? ”

"Excellent!"

The male audience member made no secret of the excitement on his face, and was obviously still in a state of adrenaline.

"What do you like best about this film?" Gilf asked again.

"Action scenes!"

Without waiting for the reporter to ask, he said happily like a child who wants to share his secrets with others, "The action scenes in the film are fantastic!" Three of them will definitely become classics, one is the Hummer vs. Ferrari car chase scene, which is the most classic car chase scene I have ever seen, the fast editing and shaky footage and the real crash scene are so exciting that my heart and blood vessels almost burst! ”

"Then there's the battle between the task force and the Marines in the bathroom and the shootout of General Hammer's men who mutinied, both of which are tragic......"

The fan has a tendency to keep talking, but Gilf can't afford to waste time on one person, so he hurriedly sends a small gift and renews his goal.

"Why did you choose such an action movie?" He stopped a female fan.

"Indeed, the whole film is full of masculinity, it is a standard men's play, but around me, there are not a few female friends who like this film." The female fan smiled heartily, "Haha, I think the director gave the protagonists too much charm, and there are too many beautiful pictures in the film, this is the second time I've watched it!" ”

Subsequently, Gilf interviewed several other fans.

"The film is masculine and deep and tense, the soundtrack and shots are used excellently, it is said that the director is only 23 years old, and it is very rare to have this kind of control and deployment ability!"

"It turns out that action movies can be so good! Intense and exciting, the music is vibrant, the picture is too beautiful, and the actors are too good, it is simply a model for commercial films! ”

"I think this will be the pinnacle of director Duke Rosenberg's work, the storyline is not to say, but more importantly, the explosion and destruction that he is good at to the extreme!"

Of course, there are also people who are not interested in the film, and some people criticize it in the interview.

"Director Duke Rosenberg and his films are nothing short of a noise-making machine!"

"Be sure to take motion sickness medicine before watching this film, otherwise you will be shaken and vomited!"

Hearing these words of criticism, Erin, who was sitting on the sofa, waved her fist indignantly, "No one forced you to look!" ”

"Miss Lauder!"

Erin's fist hit Anna, almost causing her to spill the beer she was holding, and Anna had to say, "There is no movie in this world that can please all types of audiences!" ”

The TV set cuts back to the studio, and the host concludes, "With a tight story, a powerful soundtrack, sharp editing, beautiful graphics and a deep theme, the young Rosenberg director has made an excellent film that is both commercial and artistic, enjoyable and sentimental!" In my opinion, "Death Island" is bound to be the pinnacle of action movies! ”

At the end of the show, Alan took the remote control and turned off the TV, picked up his can of beer, drank what little was left, and his eyes fell on the poster of "Brave Death Island" posted on the wall.

"Anna!" She grabbed her friend's arm and shook it, "Let's go see "Brave Island" again on the weekend, okay?" ”

"You've seen it twice!" Anna held out two fingers and shook them in front of her, and Erin continued reluctantly, "But the film is really good! It's so much better than that vampire! ”

"Alright! All right! Anna answered.

On Tuesday, they went to see "Interview with the Vampire," but the slow pace and dull plot made them choose to quit after watching less than a third of the show.

From NBC to ABC, from local tabloids to the three major newspapers in the United States, from gossip magazines to the professional "Hollywood Reporter", you can see news and reports related to the film everywhere, Warner Bros. has a very clear goal, before the popularity of the film cools down, to strive for as high box office numbers as possible in the second weekend, and even compete with the newly released blockbuster "The Heroes" for the top spot at the box office!

Duke and other main creative staff of the crew are also in the busiest publicity stage, in the morning they are still interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, in the afternoon they flew to Pittsburgh to participate in a radio interview with Wèn, and tomorrow they will move to Boston, where they will discuss the plot and future development of the film with Harvard students in Cambridge City.

This work is not useless, and the media is constantly making it public, attracting the attention of the public and fans, prompting those who have seen the film to buy tickets again, and those who have not seen the film to rush into the theater......

When Duke arrived in Philadelphia on Saturday, the freshly released Friday box office statistics also made the crew excited, "Brave Death Island" with a single-day box office of $6.24 million, beating Stallone's "Mighty Mountains" with $4.87 million, which had just been released for one day, took the lead in this weekend's competition!

Although the box office of "Night Interview with Vampire" also ushered in a rebound, the result of $4.21 million could only rank third in a single day!

After Duke watched the specific number jù analysis, he found that "Brave Island" could overwhelm the first week of "Desperate Mountains" in the second week, and external factors also played a big role.
