Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The audience gave a thumbs up, and their enthusiasm also drove the surrounding crowd to continue watching the movie. This point is also directly expressed in the popularity of the box office.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" broke 100 million in two days in China, setting a record of 138.5 million.

According to the National Film Special Fund Office of China and the statistics of electronic ticketing of major large theaters across the country, "Kung Fu Panda 2" received about 74 million box office on the first day of its national premiere on October 28, and the box office exceeded 100 million in the first weekend, surpassing the record of "Avatar", second only to the record of "Inception 3D" of the god film.

However, some theater insiders pointed out that "Avatar" was released on Monday at the lowest point of weekly movie viewing, and "Kung Fu Panda 2" premiered on the hottest Saturday, and the two are not comparable, but it cannot be denied that "Kung Fu Panda 2" is still a movie with super popularity.

What's even more interesting is that the box office of Panda has exceeded the 300 million mark in 6 days of release, and it has strongly occupied the November schedule.

Not only in China, but also in the whole of Asia and even the world, the panda wind is blowing again!

In the same period, the direct competitor "Puss in Boots" also has a good reputation, focusing on the cute series, and it is indeed extremely cute. Cat's eyes, like flawless gems, make people love it. Of course, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Po as a child appears in the sequel is cuter.

On October 28, 2011 ~ 30 rì North American weekend box office list was released in the early morning of 31 rì, under the flirting of Halloween, the two 3D animation blockbusters were completely fearless, and the "local" battle "Supernatural 3" was pulled off the championship at the same time.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" set a new box office record on Halloween with $75.6 million in its first weekend, and the revenue of a single museum reached 16,000, easily winning the championship. And "Puss in Boots", with the support of better theaters, only won $34 million at the box office. The income of a single museum reached 8,603 US dollars, which is not even half as good as its opponents!

As a solo work of the "Shrek" series, "Puss in Boots" was originally planned to be released the year after tomorrow, but because the "Shrek" series fell out of favor ahead of schedule, the fifth part of the director zhì died aborted. So in order to ensure the release of two animations a year (at least), DreamWorks had to shorten the production and release cycle of this film.

But it's unfortunate. encountered the menacing Phantom of "Kung Fu Panda 2". In this competition, the young Phantom Animation was slightly better than the big brother DreamWorks, and Li Donglai had the last laugh.

But you can't generalize, "Puss in Boots" inherits the consistent characteristics of DreamWorks Animation, spoofing classic fairy tales, heartless nonsense and funny, but at the same time learning the lessons of the "Shrek" series. Giving full play to the cat's personal characteristics of "selling cuteness and playing cheap", coupled with the "boot" Zorro-style combat ability, Jīng carved fancy but not bloody action scenes, capturing children's tastes while satisfying the chéngrén audience market.

And the appearance of two Latino stars, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek, will naturally reproduce the scene when Mexican-American audiences enthusiastically cheered for "Hellboy 2". Sure enough, in the statistical results of the relevant departments. Latino audiences contribute more than 35% of the total box office.

The third runner-up this week is still "Paranormal 3", this yīn haunting "ghost" once again harvested 18.5 million US dollars, although the decline in the next week was as high as more than 60%, but the total box office in 10 days of release has reached 300,000 US dollars, basically keeping pace with "Supernatural 2", plus the blessing of the Halloween schedule on Monday, breaking through the 100 million yuan mark is just around the corner. Given that the cost of the film is consistently an eye-popping $5 million. So for Paramount, it's just a matter of how much money you make.

The sci-fi film "Time Planning Bureau" starring "Boss Jia" won $12 million at the box office in 3,122 theaters, ranking fourth on the list.

Looking at Justin's recent works, in addition to the box office harvest of "Social Network War" with Li Donglai, the rest of the stripping shows "Bad Teacher" ($31.6 million) and "Friends Also Go to Bed" ($18.62 million), the opening results of this film that played the science fiction card are really average. However, in terms of the film's reviews, film critics have affirmed Justin's personal acting skills, and believe that Boss Jia's screen journey will become smoother and smoother.

In contrast, "Rum Rì", starring Johnny Depp, which opened at the same time, was not so lucky, and the film was released in 2,272 theaters. Under the double backdrop of the big selling original book and Uncle Depp's popularity, only $5.01 million was recorded in the three days of the weekend, which was much lower than the industry's expectations, not only setting the lowest result for Uncle Depp's personal painting in recent years, but also being denounced as a "bad practice" of the original work. This is also another screen Waterloo of the best-selling novel after the failure of the adaptation of "Atlas Shrug", although Uncle Depp's acting skills are also recognized, but the poor overall quality of the film completely overshadows the personal performance.

This shows how important a good director is.

On the third day of the full release of "Kung Fu Panda 2", Halloween is coming.

Strange to say, he has been in the United States for several years, and he has never had a Halloween, perhaps because there are no children at home. The two little guys in London had already hinted to him from time to time a week ago, "Brother-in-law, what kind of rì will you be in a few days?" "Brother-in-law, how do you remember xìng, did you forget something important?" "Brother-in-law, you can be the talker." ……

Explicitly and covertly, I want to remind him that Halloween is coming, and don't forget what Jì promised them in the first place. obviously wanted to come, but he was too shy to say it directly, and he was so cute.

Li Donglai couldn't stand the torture of the two little Lori, and there was an unmarried girl pregnant woman at home who was noisy from time to time to go to school, and he couldn't help it because of this family. "It seems that I really have to go on a trip, if I don't like my future father-in-law, I always have to see my in-laws!"

Time passed day by day, Yun'er went to the world to publicize, and Li Donglai was about to set off.

On the lawn in front of the house, Li Donglai bent over and kissed his girlfriend's belly frantically and gently, she was nearly four months pregnant, her lower abdomen had changed significantly, and her waist circumference had widened. Not as compact and slim as it used to be. smiled at his stomach and said, "Dad is going to see Grandpa, little baby cheer for Daddy, don't let Dad be kicked out of the door!" ”

"Hehe, it's so itchy! Don't talk back to my dad, he has a knife mouth and a tofu heart. Very good to talk to. Emma rubbed his head vigorously, and the pregnant woman's mother would be greatly increased, and her face would be much softer.

Li Donglai, who stood up, pouted and said, "Of course, he is a lawyer, and he can speak well." Come on, my little shrine maiden. Let's say goodbye, I'm going to pick up my sister-in-law. Emma rolled her eyes charmingly, but still raised the corners of her mouth: "You're so annoying! ”

Because he deliberately gave up his private jet, he used it for the promotion of the crew of "Kung Fu Panda". He quietly took a flight to London, but was still caught by the London paparazzi, and was harassed all the way to Mr. Watson's house.

Chris saw Li Donglai. Still no good face sè. He was an easy-going and generous person, and he greeted everyone with a smile. If Li Donglai hadn't really touched his bottom line, he wouldn't have repeatedly shown Li Donglai a face.

The two men were a little embarrassed to meet, and Juliet pushed her husband and invited Li Donglai into the room. The twins Nina and Lucy didn't care about that, and when they saw Li Donglai, they cheered and shouted. "Brother-in-law, you finally came to pick us up, I thought you forgot about it."

"Hehe, what would you do if I forgot about it?" Li Donglai deliberately teased them.

Nina tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "Then I don't like you anymore." ”

Lucy debunked her, "Lie, but you just said you wanted Alex to take us too." ”

“O.M.G!” Nina slapped her forehead in frustration, embarrassed by her lack of limit. But this little adult's appearance makes her look even more cute.

They didn't stay long, and Juliet told Li Donglai to take a good look at them. Don't be too messy, just help pack your bags and go to the United States for Halloween. Chris didn't have anything to say, but for the sake of the children, he still drove Nina and Lucy to the airport himself. Li Donglai wanted to say something to relieve the embarrassment. But he had never encountered this kind of situation, and when the words came to his lips, he was stuck again, and he was depressed.

Juliet saw it in her eyes, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and hugged him goodbye.

……

The night before Halloween is the most "haunted" time of the year, with all sorts of demons, pirates, alien visitors and witches in full swing.

Before the Christian era, the Celts held ceremonies in late summer to thank God and the sun for their favors. At that time, soothsayers lit and performed sorcery to ward off demons and demons that were said to roam around. The harvest festival, which was later celebrated by the Romans with nuts and apples, merged with the Celtic October 31rì.

In the Middle Ages, people dressed in animal costumes and wore scary masks to ward off the ghosts of the night on Halloween. Although later Christianity replaced Celtic and Roman religious practices, earlier customs were preserved.

Children jokingly dress up in costumes and masks for Halloween balls, which are surrounded by papier-mâché witches, black cats, goblins, and bones, and grinning or hateful jack-o-lanterns hanging from windows and doorways.

On the eve of Halloween, children carry jack-o-lanterns and dress up in all sorts of quirky costumes, going door-to-door asking for candy and saying "Trick-or-treat", which means trick-or-treat!

If you refuse to give you candy, the children will get angry and punish you in various ways, such as dumping garbage in your house, until you are willing to give them candy.

……

"Ahh

As soon as they happily rushed into the house, but didn't notice the dim light in the house, the two twins were frightened by a youkai head that fell off their heads. Then he hurriedly walked out, and Emma laughed smugly from inside.

Nina and Lucy rushed in angrily, "Sister, you really scared us. ”

"Haha, you two little ones, Halloween has just begun."

"Woo, we're looking forward to it." The two Loli pretended to be calm.
