Chapter 489 ranked second on the North American box office weekly list, and the box office was in full swing
The Hollywood Reporter: "There's no doubt that we're going through an incredible feast of miracles, 'MAN' is really good, the fights are very beautiful, the Chinese Tang, Nicholas. Xie and Wu, a martial arts athlete, are very energetic, which reminds me of watching blues 30 years ago. The only grievance in Lee's film is why the Chinese Tang would be so crippled by injuries that he became so fragile that it made it much less watchable -- 2.5/4. ”
"The New York Observer": "I don't know what to say, because I even doubt that Hollywood will be taken over by Chinese movies, my God, "Man", a Chinese action movie without much connotation, has only been released for 5 days, and it has already achieved a box office of 35.79 million in the first week, if it does not have the 52.54 million obtained by "My Grand Gay Wedding" to overwhelm it, I really can't imagine whether it will become a Chinese film that can achieve the top of the North American box office! But this drama is really exciting, the actors are so cool, especially the first fighting scenes of the Chinese Tang, which is really amazing - 3/4. ”
The New York Times: "Man" is a Chinese film that focuses on Chinese Tang in terms of promotion, but I have to admit that this movie can reach the second place in the North American box office list this week, and it really goes the right way with the distribution strategy, because countless fans of Chinese Tang in the United States are almost all out, and they can't wait to see the film works of their genius idols, in particular, "Man" is a very wonderful police and bandit action movie, which makes young fans all excited, so, Although this drama does not have much connotation, it is still a box office hit. This once again fully proves how strong the box office appeal of China Tang is in North America, and he is definitely a well-deserved world-class superstar! ――4/4。 ”
The Washington Post: "I don't want to say too much here, but I just want to tell you that a film from China is now gaining ground in Hollywood, and it's getting stronger and stronger, and even the starring team of the film didn't come to the United States for routine promotion, what a terrible fact! Oh, and the movie is called "Man". is a wonderful and exciting fighting movie starring the magical genius idol China Tang, and this drama has also completed the super performance of defeating "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" in Chinese mainland, and it is really in the United States! ――3/4。 ”
……
People often use the term "impermanence" to describe the unexpected.
And it is obvious that "The True Colors of Men" can be screened in the United States, which is domestic. and even something that countless people across Asia did not think of at all.
The first day was $3.86 million, and the average single-theater box office was $8,577, which naturally made the distribution company and the theater side overjoyed. The contract was signed immediately to increase the number of venues and screenings, and as a result, the next day it earned $5.95 million, with an average of $140027 per venue.
There was no reason not to continue to increase the number of venues and performances, so it was reported on the third day of $7.58 million, with an average of $17,236 per venue.
On the fourth day, the fifth day, because it was a weekend, there was a large-scale release of Universal Pictures' "My Grand Gay Wedding", and it turned out. In order to make way for this one, the number of theaters did not continue to increase. The attendance rate of 95% across the line directly made the show report $9.2 million for two consecutive days.
As a result, on the North American box office list in the fourth week of July, a super dark horse was born, that is, with 35.79 million US dollars, it strongly suppressed "Harry. Porter and the Order of the Phoenix (Week 3) - Warner Bros., Hairspray (Week 1) - New Line, Delicious Ties (Week 1) - Warner Bros., Transformers (Week 4) - Paramount, DreamWorks, Die Hard 4 (Week 5) - 20th Century Fox ...... and other super blockbusters, under the amazed gaze of countless North American filmmakers and fans. "MAN", which is very rebellious and ranked second on this week's box office list.
You must know that the summer file in North America is a more important schedule of the year than the Christmas file, and almost all the box office bombs are released in the summer file, because the summer file is much longer than the Christmas file, and the time for blockbusters to fight is much longer, and at the juncture when young people in the United States are on summer vacation, it is not impossible for a super blockbuster to have a box office of more than 80 million in the first week, or even 100 million US dollars.
However, at this moment when the box office bombs are piling up, and the major mainstream film giants are feeling the pressure of competition, and fans are dazzled and don't know which movie to watch, a Chinese-language action movie from China has strongly occupied the second place in the North American box office list, beating super blockbusters such as "Harry Potter" and "Transformers".
Although these two super box office bombs have been weak in follow-up, a movie starring a yellow race can actually win the second place in the summer file for a week, which is enough to cause a sensation!
So there is no doubt that in the face of such an unexpected fact, at least the entire North American film industry is shaken, and the Asian film industry is also shaken.
Kagilina: "Needless to say, it's a really good movie, the fights are really intense, and my friends are worried about whether the actors will die because of the film, because it looks so real." I think this movie is even more exciting than "Transformers", because everyone on earth knows that "Transformers" is fake, but the story of "Man" is likely to be real! ”
Luis: "The Chinese Tang is really amazing, and the movie "Man" is really good! Guys, I have to say, although I'm not gay, but I must admit that the muscles of the Chinese Tang are really beautiful, I really want to touch them! Because I also want to have his sexy body, then I will definitely be the most attractive man at the party, and all the girls will definitely want to have sex with me. ”
David: "You can't believe that after watching the movie, I actually produced the Chinese Tangbi Robert Jr. Downey is also suitable for the idea of the comic book movie "Iron Man", and even after I told my friends about this idea, they are very sure that if the Chinese Tang plays "Iron Man", he will definitely make the "Iron Man" comic book hero fight more beautifully, because little Robert. No matter how much Donnie trains, he can't compare to the real skills of Chinese Tang, that is the real Chinese kung fu! ”
……
If in the United States, "The True Colors of Men" is only talked about by many movie fans because of the origin of Chinese movies, then in China and Asia, it is with its "invincible" results, and countless people are crazy about it.
Koji Ono: "It's an action movie that excites Americans!" This movie is indeed very exciting, and it should be the best fighting movie I have seen in recent years! It's the pinnacle of Jackie Chan's work, I love it! ”
Jin**: "I watched this Chinese movie on the recommendation of a friend, and I have to say that although it lost some of its charm after translation, this drama is indeed a classic action movie, whether it is fighting, explosion or jumping off a building, all of them are interesting to watch, dizzying, the director is great, and the actors are great!" Worthy of my tickets. ”
Zhou Zhengfeng: "I wasn't optimistic about Brother Chic making movies before, because I thought he was too tender, and even Xiao Xie Tongshou had been an idol for several years, and he has only recently slowly moved towards a powerful actor." However, after watching "The True Colors of Men" jointly created by him, Xiao Xie and Xiao Wu, I have to admit the fact that this drama is really good, at least I didn't yawn from beginning to end, I just watched it with full attention, it was so exciting! It's a great feeling to do it all in one go, and I'm looking forward to a sequel to them! ”
……
"A sequel? Sorry, we don't have any plans yet! ”
Facing the reporters' inquiries, Chen Musheng laughed very happily and shook his head, he didn't need to hide how excited he was, because he really should laugh at present, if he didn't laugh, then he was called sick!
Just kidding, the box office in Hong Kong in the second week was 21.7 million, with a cumulative total of 47.9 million, the box office in the mainland in the second week was 133 million, with a cumulative total of 240 million, and it was released in Japan for 4 days, and the current box office is 14 million US dollars, far exceeding the best premiere week of Chinese films in Japan set in 03.
At the same time, South Korea was also released for 3 days, although due to the small market, coupled with the factors of facing "Transformers" and "Harry Potter", it only achieved $4.7 million at the box office in the first week, but it is also said to have passed.
In addition, in Treasure Island, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia...... and other regions and countries, "The True Colors of Men" is almost the top three on the local box office list, all the box office combined, the global box office revenue of this film in two weeks, has perfectly broken through the global box office of 100 million US dollars set by "Kung Fu" in 04, that is, the box office record of 750 million yuan for Hong Kong films, which is currently 800 million yuan.
So at this moment, as the director of this play, Chen Musheng can't be too excited, after all, he is now a well-known '100 million US dollars' director in Asia, even if this number is placed in Hollywood, it is something that can make him soar immediately!
Investing $9 million, but earning $110 million globally in two weeks, such a return on investment ratio, even in Hollywood, a place with a long history of films, is quite rare, not to mention, this movie is the second week in North America, the third week in the mainland, and the second week in Japan.
If you're lucky, the film could even surpass "Hero" with more than $180 million, becoming the second-highest-grossing Chinese film after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
As a result, Chen Musheng has soared to the sky, and there are too many big companies to come to his door recently, and even a Hollywood studio has tactfully expressed that he wants to ask him to direct an action movie.
However, although his popularity is high, it is not as hot as someone!
