Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The three-day weekend of May 4~May 6 is a difficult time for most movies in the United States. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)
At a time when "The Avengers" has already dominated the various media pages, all eyes are on next Monday's list.
Li Donglai bet with media reporters that even if the weekend box office was only 200 million, he would lose it, and he would run naked for the audience.
"Haha, don't be too ruthless." Many people and women are looking forward to seeing Li Donglai naked.
"200 million?" Some media disdain, "Is he still in the era of "Inception", and the audience doesn't know anything about 3D? ”
This day is finally about to reveal the answer, and they are all looking forward to what level Li Donglai's new work will reach.
First of all, due to the release of overseas regions in North America a week in advance, the overseas opening of "The Avengers" should be last week. Zhou's overseas box office earned $225 million, ranking fifth in film history, behind Li Donglai's girlfriend's "Harry Potter 7" (below) (314 million), "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" (260 million), "Harry Potter 6" (236 million), and "Spider-Man 3" (230 million), ahead of "Transformers 3" (219 million).
It is worth saying that on these overseas box office lists, "The Avengers" is the only one as the first film in the series, of course, if his foreshadowing works "Iron Man", "Thor", and "Captain America" are counted, they are not too outstanding.
In Hong Kong, only two new films have been painted, but the box office has soared by 23% year-on-year, needless to say, thanks to "The Avengers", a blockbuster film that gathers many well-known heroes, has reached the top with a thunderous momentum as soon as it opens. 632 screenings were held in 142 theaters on the day, with a wild volume of 6.68 million, and the box office of a single film accounted for ninety percent of the total box office of the day. Breaking Harry? Potter and the Deathly Hallows (II)" record (6.16 million), won the box office champion of Hong Kong history non-holiday opening pictures.
The weekend trend was even stronger, not only hitting 1.14o on Saturday, refreshing the single-day box office record held by "Change 3", but also collecting 340o in four days of release in Hong Kong, becoming the four-day box office champion in Hong Kong history. Given that "Men in Black 3" is belatedly released on May 24, "The Avengers" is very likely to monopolize the screen for nearly a month. Attack the top three box office in Hong Kong history.
Hong Kong media's evaluation of the movie, "Li Donglai's greatest contribution is to successfully make Hollywood-level heroes practice Chinese kung fu." ”
There is a lot of buzz about the kung fu routines made by the movie's middle-level heroes. Scarlett also played Xingyi boxing, and Li Donglai played Bajiquan and Wing Chun successively. Tony Stark plays simple and crude mixed kung fu moves and so on.
In Chinese mainland, due to the time difference, May 5 can be regarded as an official release.
As a result, the movie was on May 5 and 6. It successfully exceeded 100 million in one week and two days. It almost broke 200 million and reached a height of 189 million. "The Story of Old Lacey" was squeezed out of the championship, and "Titanic 3D" continued to squeeze the number of films, and the 1o billion was completely empty.
Maybe now some people realize that this is a flood beast that swallows the box office, but when it really starts to threaten, there are many incredulous and jaw-dropping.
Temporarily back in North America, the media has made detailed statistics for him to break various records.
But when the media actually saw this number, they were dumbfounded. 200 million, Li Donglai really did it.
The North American weekend box office from May 4, 2o12 ~ May 6, 2o12 was announced in the early morning of May 7, Beijing time. "The Avengers" directed by Li Donglai swept thousands of armies with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, creating a great cause in the history of the planet that exceeded $200 million at the box office at the beginning of the film! Talking and laughing, he killed the legendary records written by his predecessors such as "Night Knight", "Harry Potter", and "Twilight". The 150 million opening champion of "The Hunger Games" in March has also become history.
In 3 days of the North American weekend, it swept 23o8o US dollars, and the result of 230 million ranked first in film history without suspense!
In the face of the crazy scene of "The Avengers" ravaging the world, countless editors can only prostrate and worship such miracles. In this bet, there is no doubt that Li Donglai has won.
Throughout the history of film, this week has been the opening banner of the summer file over the years, and there has never been a shortage of box office blockbusters. But neither "Iron Man", "Thor", "Spider-Man" nor Tom Cruise helped the total market rush to $230 million, and "The Avengers" broke the film history record without suspense as soon as it was released, which was nearly double that of "Thor" in the same period last year!
Other films are scattered for fear of avoiding them, and what is even more exaggerated is that even the overall ratings of American dramas have dropped sharply this week, proving that these "otakus" who originally guarded the TV have been dragged to the theater, which shows that the appeal of "The Avengers" is strong.
This situation is reminiscent of the madness of the two 3D movies at the beginning, which is a bit unreal.
The scale of 4,349 theaters ranks seventh in the list of the largest number of film screenings and public screenings, second to "Twilight 3: Lunar Eclipse" (4,468), "Iron Man 2" (438o), "Harry Potter 7" (below) (4,375), "Night Knight" (4,366), "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" (4,362), "Shrek 4" (4,349);
Secondly, with $225 million of overseas openings and $230 million of North American Week, the $455 million global openings rank third in film history, second only to "Inception" with $680 million and "Harry Potter 7" (below) with $483 million.
At midnight on Thursday alone, 25oo theaters earned a total of $1.87 million, beating "Night Knight" to successfully rewrite the midnight record for "Heroes" films.
On Friday, the revenue reached an astonishing 99.51 million US dollars, far from the industry's expected level of 7ooo million, and won the second place in the box office list of film history Friday, film history single day, and film history opening day, second only to "Inception", ahead of my wife's "Ha 7" (below) on July 15, 2o11 set a record of 91.o7 million US dollars; continued to earn $190,000 in a single day on Saturday, killing $51.33 million in "Spider-Man 3" in seconds, rewriting the single-day box office record on Saturday; On Sunday, he once again recorded $5o10,000 in a single day, killing the $43.59 million of "Night Knight" in seconds, rewriting the single-day box office record on Sunday......
Affected by "The Avengers", the box office of the dark horse comedy "Thinking Like a Man" has not exceeded 10 million, and only won 8oo to rank second. The Phantom's own "The Hunger Games" was also hit by the boss's new movie, winning 7.88 million. I don't know if it's Aiwu and Wu, this achievement has greatly narrowed the gap with "Think Like a Man", with a total box office of $383.61 million, and the goal is still 400 million.
Since "Dark Shadow", "Class Battleship" and even "Men in Black 3" behind him are not under much competitive pressure, it is quite promising to cross 500 million and catch up with "Night Knight".
Good results drive all-round publicity, which is called box office effect.
Some mainstream American media have made headlines on the front page, whether they are betting or reporting on them.
"Old Gold Chronicle": contains sincere sadness, humor and surprise; In addition to being a standard comic book blockbuster, this film is also full of the director's unique brushstrokes, which make every aspect of this film seem perfect. New York Daily News: One of the most incredible things about the film is that the hero film has a new look, which is really a remarkable achievement. Arizona Republica: It's both a passion for comic book fans and a deep understanding of the genre.
Even "Rolling Stone" has reported: this film has a qiē, or even more. It's a chance to see six levels of heroes with a single movie ticket, which is what I imagined it would be like to gather many idols from Marvel Comics together; This is a "Transformers" with brains, hard work, and a qualified sense of humor.
The Los Angeles Times: The key to making this monster movie so wonderful and vivid; Such a complex content that the audience will hardly notice the length of the nearly two-and-a-half-hour film. Empire Magazine: The Avengers have gathered, and most of the time they have merged brilliantly. The combination of heroism and humor makes the film maintain the unique success characteristics of each hero, and also improve the overall quality of the film.
The Washington Post: The film successfully met almost all the requirements of the fans; Relying on enough self-deprecating humor, the adults in fancy clothes seem real and believable. USA Today: Lee Dong-rae has made every character fully played, and although their appearance time may not be exactly the same, the audience has a sense of satisfaction. This is indeed a very clever thing to do
A series of reports made Disney bosses happy.
This is naturally due to Li Donglai's bet, Kevin Feige even checked the media records that were present that day, and checked the newspaper headlines one by one. Of course, there is no shortage of criticism where there is praise, and "The Voice of the Village" reported: Every time the film wants to enter some deeper connotation, Whedon uses a joke to ruin the moment; The only atmospheric scene is the five-second black-and-white picture, which I don't know if it's ironic for a color popcorn movie.
Miami Herald: The film has a home run for the last 4o minutes, making full use of IMAX and 3D action sequences, but it's the same with Transformers.
The Wall Street Journal: The film has a slightly slow opening, the only standout performances are surrounded by more boring stars, and the unbridled computer effects scenes range from "Transformers" to bizarre objects all over Manhattan. The New York Times: Those light-hearted, amusing little jokes can't hide the noise and hollowness of this film, which is not a shortcoming of the film itself, but a major feature of this genre.
……
These are problems that cannot be ignored.
There are also many media who praise the ingenuity of Li Donglai's five-second black and white shot.
There are too many comments, and Li Donglai didn't watch most of them. (To be continued......)
