Walking out of the theater with a couple of companions, Martin? Stanley looked up at the huge "Iron Man" poster and said to his companions, "But for a single film, the story is very strong. Duke? Rosenberg's production technology is becoming more and more mature, and he is definitely the top science fiction film director in Hollywood. Donnie's performance is also worthy of praise! ”

Another companion apparently agreed, "Duke's imagination is admirable, and the dazzling high-tech display is amazing." ”

However, there are people who like a movie, and there are people who don't like it.

James walking at the back of the group? When Vieri heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and said with a little disdain, "It's just a popcorn movie, just looking at the scenes and special effects, and there is nothing impressive after watching it, and it's a heroism that turns the tide with manpower, Duke?" Can Rosenberg stop making such a movie? ”

His words went unanswered, Martin? Stanley and the others know that this person likes niche literary films, and he is not on the same plane as them.

Compared with Duke's previous films, "Iron Man" is undoubtedly more popcorn, and this film is unlikely to become "Saving Private Ryan" and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is impossible to maintain a long-term audience reputation, but it is not difficult to become a market hotspot in the short term.

"Important point......

In the sports car heading towards Malibu, Duke said to Scarlett, who was driving, "At the beginning of the summer season, "Iron Man" will not meet too strong competitors. ”

"A lot of people are worried about you now." Scarlett's eyes glanced at Duke, "Like David?" There aren't many people who are as persistent as Ellison. ”

And that's just one aspect. On the other hand, Duke will also avoid the bad luck and actively avoid those popular movies in his memory.

For example, he would never use a series of opening movies like "Iron Man" to touch a sequel work like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which has huge appeal.

He really wasn't afraid to compete with anyone, but that didn't mean hitting his head against a stone, or a particularly hard one.

"Today when I was shopping and resting. I read some newspaper reviews. Scarlett said to Duke again, "Little Robert? Donnie has been mentioned a lot of times, and many reviews have thought that he starred in Tony? Stark is the biggest highlight of the film. ”

There was some resentment in her voice.

Duke smiled nonchalantly, "It's normal, Donnie's performance is really good." ”

Scarlett knew he hadn't finished his sentence and asked. "What else?"

"Tony? Stark's own setting is the key. ”

After thinking for a moment, Duke said, "Tony? Stark is a combination of almost all men's dreams - money, status, and sports cars. There are private jets, beautiful women, super high intelligence, courage, a sense of justice, and of course, the most important thing is that he has a sense of realism that other superheroes don't have. ”

"It's not just men." Scarlett turned her head and winked at Duke, "Women love that kind of character too. ”

Duke glared at her. Reminder, "Look at the road." ”

Speed up a little as there are more and more cars on the road. Scarlett's focus shifted to driving.

Duke also stopped talking to her, as he thought, and in the short term, "Iron Man" not only brought excitement to the audience, but also freshened the media.

On Metacritic's reviews of journalists, 47 journalists scored an average of 88 points.

"Variety" believes that Duke used "Iron Man" to bring the audience a highly entertaining special effects carnival; "Premiere" directly said that Duke brought the audience everything they wanted to see; USA Today calls Duke Warner Bros. and Marvel Comics the discovery of a weapon of massive destruction - "Iron Man"; The New York Times claimed that Iron Man was a pure and great escapist journey. Worthy of the title of the first blockbuster of the summer......

Although there are also slamming voices, such as thinking that this is just a boring popcorn. But in terms of both the media and the audience, the praise of "Iron Man" has the absolute upper hand. When Friday passes and Saturday comes, it is normal for the film to earn $37.41 million at the North American box office in 4,012 theaters on its first day.

"The ...... of the most pessimistic estimates"

In the office of Marvel Studios, Marvel executives did not go to the Duke-led crew announcement event, but held a closed-door meeting. Feige's face was full of red light, and even his voice was much louder, "The opening weekend box office of "Iron Man" will not be less than $80 million. ”

Avi? Arad shook his head directly, obviously disagreeing with Kevin? Feige's words, he said, "Kevin, you're too conservative. ”

Clear your throat, Avi? Arad continued, "According to the rules of normal commercial films and Duke's past films, the box office on Saturday will be higher than Friday, and on Sunday, although it will decline, but the magnitude will be very low. ”

Stan? Li asked with concern, "How many do you estimate?" ”

The box office of the film is directly related to his income figures.

"$100 million at the opening weekend is my most conservative estimate." Avi? Arad said without hesitation.

The conference room was instantly silent, but many people's hands were clenched, obviously a little excited.

The project they have worked so and spent years on was able to break the benchmark $100 million mark in the first weekend, which is very rewarding, even if you don't count the prize money that comes with it.

For the company they work for and for their future, Duke? Rosenberg simply used "Iron Man" to carve out a broad path for them.

Success has been put in front of them by the director, and what they need to do is to seize the opportunity of success and expand the results of success.

Kevin? Feige spoke again, "Guys, I think it's time to start the whole Marvel project. ”

If it was just this huge investment plan formulated by Marvel, he would definitely be cautious and cautious, but everyone knows, Duke? Rosenberg was involved in the development of the plan and made many important recommendations.

"Can we continue to have Duke direct?" Avi? Allad didn't trust any other director at all.

"It's not possible in the near future." Kevin? Feige shook his head and said slowly, "I have communicated with Duke in detail, and his work plan has been scheduled for several years, and it is impossible to continue to be in charge of the Marvel series in the near future. ”

"Invite him to be the producer." Avi? Arad said in a categorical tone, "If he doesn't agree, I'll take all the Marvel executives to Malibu to block his door!" ”

"And ......," he emphasized, "if Shun Lin is planned, he is the only director of the final collection." Kevin, you have to remember to remind him that he is still the majority shareholder of Marvel! ”

Marvel people are well aware, Duke? It is impossible for Rosenberg to break away from the Marvel chariot, and the Marvel series has him, which is almost equivalent to two insurances.

Maybe it triggered a movie-watching boom in the summer file, or maybe the film did bring a different freshness compared to previous superhero movies, the media made positive comments one after another, and even the media that did not have public relations on the part of Warner also stood in the queue to promote "Iron Man".

"Iron Man's hippest, best written, best directed superhero movie ever!"

-- The New York Post

"It's been years since I've seen such a fanatical and cute and funny superhero."

- "Rolling Stone"

Due to the lack of strong competitors and the overwhelming media and audience reputation of the film, by Saturday afternoon, the screening rate of "Iron Man" in major commercial theater chains had risen to nearly 70 percent, and in popular theaters such as Manhattan, San Francisco Bay and Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, there would be a screening of "Iron Man" in no more than 15 minutes.

The audience's enthusiasm is high, which triggers additional screenings in theaters, and the additional screenings squeeze the screening space of other films, so that many relatively neutral audiences also choose "Iron Man", and the hot screening of "Iron Man" will naturally attract the attention of relevant media, and under the media report, it will also attract more people's attention......

As a result, "Iron Man", like other big hits, formed a virtuous circle after Warner Bros. and Duke had done enough work.

This cycle can also add another link to it - peripheral products.

There are almost no merchandise for blockbuster movies, such as "Saving Private Ryan", but superhero movies are definitely not in the ranks.

All the things in the film with Tony? Stark-related props have almost all become popular peripheral products, such as the Mark II and Mark III steel suits, which are out of stock in many theaters and stores.

On Saturday night, more people flocked to the theaters, most of them with the same goal: "Iron Man."

They enter the theater, watch the film with great enthusiasm, walk out of the theater with a satisfied smile, unzip their pockets with generosity, and buy merch with an obsessive expression......

When Sunday arrives and the latest statistics show that "Iron Man" will grossed $39.01 million on Saturday, everyone knows that the momentum of this film is difficult to stop, and even if God comes to earth, it will not be able to change the situation that "Iron Man" will inevitably break 100 million at the box office in the first weekend.

According to various real-time data on the Internet on Sunday, the average attendance rate of "Iron Man" did decline slightly, but the decline was not obvious, and it maintained an extremely healthy trend and continued to be screened with high box office data.

By now, everyone knows that Marvel's opening chapter will be a big hit, but they are waiting for it, Duke? How much success Rosenberg can bring to "Iron Man". (To be continued)
