The end of the world is coming, Bruce? The male protagonist played by Willis became the last hope, and at the most critical moment, he pressed the control button of the nuclear bomb, and a huge explosion spread across the screen, lighting up the theater, and the images on the screen began to switch rapidly, showing the excitement of the rescued humans on Earth.

The film is obviously using explosions to sensationalize, and the quick and sharp switching of shots can provoke the audience's affection.

The earth is saved, the film ends, and Alan and Jones walk out of the theater.

"Why does it always feel familiar?"

As he walked out of the theater, Jones said to Allen, "The continuous short shots, the crazy explosions, the ...... of the city destroyed by the explosions."

Allen took over, "This film is very much like Duke's earliest style, "Life and Death," "Independence Day" and "Death Island" are all in this style. ”

"That's right." Jones nodded in agreement, "Michael? Bey is a little explosive maniac and seems to have learned a lot from Duke. ”

"It's a pity that what I've learned is outdated, and it's no longer used by Duke." Alan sighed, "Duke has long since left this stage of relying on pure sensory stimulation to attract the audience, Michael? Is Bey just Duke? Rosenberg Second, the gap between "The Peerless Calamity" and "The Matrix" is too obvious, Michael? The gap between Bey and Duke is even more pronounced. ”

At the turn of the century, all kinds of rumors of world destruction circulated in the society, "Heaven and Earth Collision" and "Peerless Tribulation" can be said to have come into being, but the two films due to the different distribution companies, the treatment is very different, the former due to the factor of DreamWorks, suppressed by major companies at the same time, the latter belongs to Walt Disney's works. The number of theaters is as high as 3,127!

The former explosive shell, with his dazzling editing and crazy explosive skills, conquered countless North American audiences in the early stage of his career, and now Michael? Bei still walked this way, but there were some roads where the first one to walk had meat to eat. The second person to walk may have to gnaw on the bones, and the person who walks behind may have to drink soup.

"Peerless Tribulation" is undoubtedly once Michael? Bei's early collection of works even pushed the explosion as a sensational film genre combined with vulgar elements in other summer files to a peak.

But that has changed now, and since the early '90s, North American audiences have been baptized by Duke with three films that focus on explosive visual effects, and expectations for this genre have undoubtedly been much lower.

No one can deny that "The Peerless Tribulation" is an excellent summer popcorn, but its answer sheet on the first day of its large-scale release does not particularly match the film's $140 million production cost.

The first day of release on Friday. "Peerless Tribulation" received $9.66 million in 3,127 theaters.

This film with the theme of an asteroid hitting the earth is only a little better than the opening score of the same type film "Heaven and Earth Collision".

There is no doubt that the stable box office trend of "The Matrix" has obviously affected the subsequent films.

At the beginning of the new weekend, compared with the single-day box office that has been steadily declining in the past few days, "The Matrix" once again ushered in a rebound, in 3110 theaters. It was up 27 percent from Thursday's $7.52 million to $9.7 million. Just overtook "Peerless Tribulation".

The box office rebound of "Godzilla" is also one of the factors affecting "The Peerless Apocalypse," a monster film that rose 25 percent on Friday to $5.43 million.

Compared to "The Matrix" and "The Peerless Apocalypse", "Godzilla" has fallen behind in the North American film market this weekend. It's completely a situation where the first two are competing and fighting.

The discussion and interpretation of "The Matrix" on the Internet has been heating up, and at this stage, there is no need to rely on the Internet water army to guide it. Bei knows that the people who like this type of film the most are teenagers. And the biggest group that the Internet can affect is also teenagers.

Pani? Kelis's online public relations department has already taken action just after the premiere of "The Peerless Tribulation", and traces of their presence can be seen on major websites and forums, including IMDB.

"The movie "Peerless Tribulation" is a pain in terms of sight, hearing, brain, conventional senses, and the desire to watch a good movie."

"Trying to find fault in a movie like 'The Peerless Apocalypse' is like hitting an elephant with an 'ant gun,' and all the fatal flaws of all films -- absurd plots, weakened character descriptions, puzzling performances, and hustle and bustle -- are all lacking."

"Let me count how many reasons there are to hate "Peerless Tribulation", one ...... Two...... Three ......"

"'The Peerless Tribulation' is confusing, and lacks exciting plot pacing and character interpretation, which is a big part of the aesthetic fatigue, Michael? Is Bey completely imitating Duke when he was younger? Rosenberg, and very poor imitation. ”

On the Internet, a platform with relatively free speech, just one day is not conducive to Michael? Bei and "Peerless Tribulation" remarks have been spread everywhere, and for this new virus-like way of spreading negative remarks, the traditional group that is too big to turn around is not ready to deal with it at all.

Under these smearing posts, there are often quite a few incited netizens who leave messages and reply, and in the eyes of the vast majority of viewers, Michael? Bey was indeed imitating Duke's earliest film style.

"Michael? Bey was just imitating Duke, and his film was nothing new at all. ”

"I've been to see "The Peerless", and there are a lot of explosions, but those are all methods that Duke threw away, and compared to "The Matrix", he filmed some kind of......"

Walt Disney has been widely involved in last week's shooting coverage, and its ABC TV station is an active part of it, and even now, Disney's media is still making a fuss about the shooting, affecting the choices of many viewers.

Competition is everywhere in this circle, not to mention that this is still the most important summer file for commercial films, no one can say anything about Disney's behavior, but Warner Bros. will not be willing to be defensive in terms of competition.

In addition to Duke's online operations, Warner has also actively smeared Walt Disney's blockbuster in traditional media.

"The Peerless Tribulation is spectacular and boisterous. But there's nothing new to say, Michael? Bei used, all Duke? Rosenberg has abandoned the cinematic approach, and the two men are both known for causing explosions, but the gap is obvious......"

- Time

"It's a science fiction film, yes, but the science fiction in 'The Peerless Tribulation' is based on the real world. We just want to ask, how unreliable is the plot setting of the film? Is there anything more ridiculous than having a bunch of ordinary oil workers fly into space and drill wells on asteroids? ”

- Los Angeles Times

Today's Michael? Bei, in addition to age, there is a huge gap between Duke and Duke, perhaps the influence of traditional media on teenagers is decreasing, but in North America, the birthplace of the Internet, after years of development. The Internet has become an indispensable part of the lives of many teenagers and even office workers.

For commercial films, the Saturday box office of the first weekend is generally higher than the Friday box office, but due to this series of unfavorable factors, the Saturday box office of "The Peerless Tribulation" actually declined, reaching 12.7 percent, and the single day revenue was 8.44 million US dollars.

"The Matrix" continued its steady streak, rising slightly at the box office on Saturday, earning $10.11 million in a single day. once again beat "Peerless Tribulation", and has an absolute advantage in this weekend's schedule.

"The Matrix" also couldn't escape the normal market rules, ending the rally this weekend, and the box office fell back to $9.21 million on Sunday.

Los Angeles Times. In the just-concluded fourth weekend of May, "The Matrix" continued its strong performance since its release, earning $29.02 million in the third weekend of its release, surprisingly topping the weekly box office charts three times in a row. ”

Affected by the strong performance of "The Matrix", "The Peerless Apocalypse" released this weekend did not reach the $40 million that Walt Disney expected in its opening weekend. It ended its first weekend with $26.21 million, ranking second on the weekly box office charts. ”

"In third place at the box office is Sony's Columbia Pictures' hugely invested "Godzilla", which was affected by Yan's declining audience reputation, and the film took a big plunge at the box office this weekend, diving by 50 percent, with only $13.15 million in cash.

"So far, the North American box office of "The Matrix" has accumulated 211.47 million US dollars, temporarily occupying the first place in the annual box office list in North America, and at the same time, the film has landed in more overseas markets, with a total overseas box office of 156.99 million US dollars, and the global box office has approached 400 million US dollars, which is also the highest box office result so far among the films released this year!"

DreamWorks has become the biggest disappointment since the beginning of the summer season, "Heaven and Earth Collision" from publicity to screening to theaters, suffered from the comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the six major companies, after spending the fourth weekend in the theater, due to the single box office and the overall box office fell below the psychological bottom line of the theater line, coupled with the pressure of the six major companies, it became the target of the North American theater alliance to force the downgrade, and the final North American box office figure stayed at 70.06 million US dollars.
