Chapter 522: The box office soared and word of mouth plummeted

Although "The Hangover 2" didn't get almost zero reviews like "Gravity", the film still got a high first-day box office in the world, followed by Saturday and Sunday.

In Chinese mainland, "The Hangover 2" still captured 76 million yuan at the box office on the second day, and also got a total box office of 71.4 million yuan on Sunday, and a total of 2 in the three days of the weekend, that is, the three days of the premiere. 2.8 billion yuan at the box office! It is conceivable how much influence the name Luo Mo and the word 'hangover' have in China.

The box office of the movie exceeded 200 million in three days, which could be said to be a miracle in the past, but now, on Luo Mo's body, it is not particularly surprising that people are speechless, because it is not the first time that the box office of his film has exceeded 200 million in three days.

In the United States, "The Hangover 2" hit $28 million at the box office on the first day, and the box office on the second day was still very good, after all, it was Saturday, and it still got $25.3 million, and it also won $19.1 million on Sunday, and it was three days after the weekend, and it was also three days before the premiere, so that "The Hangover 2" got a total of $72.4 million at the box office, and it was only one step away from breaking through the $100 million box office.

Before "Inception", it was almost a non-trivial idea for foreign language films to break through the total box office of $100 million in North America, because only "The Hangover" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did it, but after "Inception", Luo Mo's "Gravity" got $300 million at the box office in North America, and the box office of "Inception" also exceeded $300 million!

And now, Luo Mo used a sequel and the second part of "The Hangover" to hit the box office of more than 70 million US dollars in three days in North America, which has surpassed "Beautiful Life", which ranked second in the foreign language film list in the North American box office.

More than $70 million, that's a terrible number!

At the same time, "The Hangover 2" is also invincible in the global box office market, and at the weekend box office, "The Hangover 2" undoubtedly won the championship in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also won the weekend box office championship in many countries and regions in Southeast Asia, and also won the championship in two countries in Europe......

As a result, by the end of the first weekend, the weekend global box office of "The Hangover 2" had reached 2. $3.4 billion ...... This number is quite terrifying.

In this era, even some Hollywood blockbusters are usually only able to get two or three billion US dollars at the global box office after their release, but "The Hangover 2", as a low-budget comedy, has only been released for three days now, and it has hit 2 around the world. $3.4 billion at the box office!

And this is still a Chinese work, Chinese films have been in decline abroad for a long time, that is, Luo Mo's movies can achieve a rise that the global box office can compete with Hollywood. For example, the current "The Hangover 2" can actually hit such a strong box office around the world.

Luo Mo is indeed an outlier in Chinese films, and he is also the strongest voice in Chinese movies now!

Once this strongest note jumps, it's a storm!

However, when "The Hangover 2" hit 2 at the global box office. At the same time of 3.4 billion US dollars, the film's global reputation has also been mixed, many people are saying that this film is good, which makes them laugh so that their belts are loose, but there are also many people who say that this film is too bad, there is no innovation at all, and an old frame is used to hold a new wine, so this new wine is destined to be nowhere to go......

Soon, The Hangover 2's rating on the IMDB website had dropped to 7. 6 points, this score is really not a good sign for Luo Mo's movie, on Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness of "The Hangover 2" has also dropped to 78%, and the number of film reviews is very large, there are already more than 100.

On Chinese websites, The Hangover 2's rating on Time.com has dropped to 7. 8 points, the score on Douban fell directly and mercilessly to 7. 4 points...... And now that the movie has just been released, these scores are likely to continue to decline in the future......

The reputation of "The Hangover 2" really began to plummet.

"A funny movie that exceeds expectations, Luo Mo used "The Hangover 2" to prove that his talent in comedy movies and vulgar movies is limitless, he can create a lot of fun things, when we see some scenes in this film, we will laugh because of the footage of this movie and can't believe that it is my own laughter, if Luo Mo continues to make comedy movies in the future, I think I will definitely continue to watch ......"

"A film that is extremely funny, "The Hangover 2" is even crazier and funnier than the first one...... I saw the poor dentist being blown up, and I don't know what it tasted like? When I saw this, I bet I had never laughed to this extent before when I watched comedies. ”

"Luo Mo's funny talent is really not blown, we can always see the surprises he brings us in the movie, and that fat man is as funny as the first one...... No, he's even funnier! He was one of the motivations for me to watch The Hangover, because I believe that this fat man can always bring me a lot of smiles. ”

"The Hangover has a series of funny events full of coincidences in the casino, and "The Hangover 2" is a different city, and other more funny things have happened, if you want to laugh, come and watch "The Hangover 2", ......"

These are all praises, after all, "The Hangover 2" is still very appetizing to some people, making them think this film is particularly funny, full of laughter from beginning to end, and even making them laugh so much that they can't stand up straight.

However, at the same time, there are more bad reviews!

"Let me tell you the difference between "The Hangover 2" and "The Hangover": the marriage has changed from Macau to Bangkok, beer fans. The adulterous medicine was replaced by a mystery in the marshmallow. The rape drug, the tiger was replaced by a monkey, the tooth extraction was replaced by a self-cutting finger, the stripper was replaced by a ladyboy, Chen Baixiang was locked in the trunk instead of locked in the freezer, the ransom was exchanged for a friend and a password was exchanged for a brother-in-law - and it was not changed back, the tiger was kidnapped instead of an old monk, the casino was replaced by a bar, the dentist's rant at his girlfriend was replaced by his roar at his father-in-law, and the poor missing person was found in the original hotel from the roof of the building to the elevator ......"

When this movie review first came out, it was enthusiastically praised by everyone, and immediately became an excellent material for Hei Luomo...... Because everyone takes a closer look, this film is really like that, changing some places, not changing some places, which makes people feel that Luo Mo's innovation in this film is really not enough.

"It's almost exactly the same as the development of the first story, this joke is a little new when you watch it once, and it's like that after watching it too much, I don't think it's funny...... Why did Luo Mo create such a "Hangover 2"...... Is he just trying to make money? ”

"I really need to complain that Luo Mo's creativity is no longer enough, and the two films didn't bring me enough surprises."

"Although I have to say that this film still brought me crazy laughter after all, but in addition to crazy laughter, it is a loss, because I think "The Hangover 2" makes me feel very disappointed, completely following the previous one, changing the soup without changing the medicine, Luo Mo should not be like this."

"After waiting for four years, do we just have to wait for such a film that is not much different from the first one? I now have to be glad that this film still made me laugh after all...... Otherwise, it will be lackluster. ”

- In fact, if Luo Mo filmed "The Hangover 2" immediately after filming "The Hangover", everyone would not be too disappointed with the many changes in "The Hangover 2", and would only think that this film is a dark horse after all, and the dark horse's current stamina has also had problems.

But now it's different!

Luo Mo is the director of movies of the level of "Gravity" and "Inception"! But now he has actually made a rather painful "Hangover 2", although it still makes people laugh, but after the laughter, they are disappointed, they think that Luo Mo is a little poor in donkey skills.

Many Luo Mo's sunspots took the opportunity to find the place of Black Luo Mo, and began to go black with this film!

"That's how Luo Mo is, from this film onwards, he is no longer worthy of our expectations! Because that's all his films! ”

"Can Luo Mo be said to be in his original form now? I think that's really the case, he probably can't come up with any good movies. ”

…… But these people's accusations did not resonate, but brought a lot of scolding, after all, although everyone felt that "The Hangover 2" was not quite in line with expectations, but on the whole, everyone still believed in Luo Mo and still believed that he could bring more wonderful and good movies to everyone.

As a result, a lot of rebuttals immediately appeared-

"Luo Mo is the director of "Inception" and "Gravity", and he is also the youngest director in the world to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, we can indeed say that his "Hangover 2" does not meet expectations, this film makes everyone feel that there is no imaginary viewing pleasure after watching, but we must believe that Luo Mo's next film will be more exciting, and his "Hangover 2" is more of a film with a ticket nature."

"Please don't feel that you have the opportunity to be a black Luo Mo because of a film, we have witnessed the rise of Luo Mo, and we have also witnessed him step by step to where he is today, "The Hangover 2" is just an insignificant work in his career, if you keep talking about his film, I think it will only arouse the dissatisfaction of many people, and at the same time, Luo Mo will also use his performance to refute you!"

…… Therefore, after all, many fans of Luo Mo cannot lose hope in him because of Luo Mo's film, in fact, everyone's expectations for Luo Mo are still very high.

It's just that what kind of film will he shoot after "The Hangover 2"? After "The Hangover 2", can the movie he made allow him to completely wash away some of the negative reviews brought by "The Hangover 2"?

After "The Hangover 2" was screened in various parts of the world for five days, Luo Mo has returned to China for a long time, and now it is time for him to return to the United States and continue his studies at USCA......

Some of the bad word-of-mouth of "The Hangover 2" did bring some pressure to Luo Mo, but such pressure did not reach an unacceptable point for Luo Mo, anyway, he didn't plan to start filming "The Hangover 3", even if filming started, it would definitely make more people scold him, even if he really wanted to shoot, he would hand over the movie to someone else to direct, instead of directing it himself.

The pressure on him has increased a lot out of thin air, because, although it seems that the global box office of "The Hangover 2" is not only very good, but also has been growing continuously, the reputation of the movie has proved that Luo Mo has problems now, and the pressure has naturally fallen on Luo Mo.
