"What? $70 million on the first day!?"

Although Robert Iger had already realized that the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" was going to blow up when he was woken up by his subordinate Philip Bierman this morning, it was still beyond his expectations to explode to this extent.

"According to this figure, let alone breaking 100 million at the box office in the first week, it won't take two days for the box office performance of 100 million US dollars to break through - even if there is a sequel effect, large-scale publicity and release, and the impact of the hijacking publicity some time ago, it is estimated that it will not last - but this result is still exaggerated enough!"

Robert Iger feels that he can once again raise his psychological expectations for the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin".

- You know, because this is a sequel to a successful movie, and because it is a Charlotte Booth movie, Disney's internal expectations for it are already relatively high.

If the general commercial blockbuster is considered successful at the North American box office of 300 million US dollars, then the commercial blockbuster shot by Charlotte Booth is expected to increase by at least 100 million.

Looking at the current momentum, the North American box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Soul Coffin" is estimated to be unstoppable by $500 million.

"If there are more, maybe we will be able to hit the North American box office of "Titanic"!"

Think about it again, "Titanic" has a box office of more than 600 million in North America, but how much does this movie cost?

How long did it take to shoot again!?

And how much did the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series cost to shoot in a trilogy and how long did it take!?

- This cost performance is obviously very different!

Robert Iger feels that if "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin" can really grossed $600 million at the North American box office, the act of successfully making this trilogy series project on his own will be enough to make him the chairman of Disney Studios for several years, and have a chance to compete for the president of the Disney Group......

"No, you can't just think about the impact at this time!"

Robert Iger quickly reacted that now that the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has been visible to the naked eye, these things he thinks about are actually not a problem.

- It's a natural thing to do.

At this time, what he should really be concerned about is whether to immediately consider the project "Pirates of the Caribbean 4"?

You know, before, although Charlotte Booth made this series into a trilogy, she only made three films.

Today, the first part of the series has made a big box office profit, and the second part has made even more money at the box office.

And judging from the questionnaire of the audience, the opinion of it is generally good.

- Although since Quentin Tarantino's "Vulgar", including Gary Age's "Two Big Smoking Guns", multi-line narrative films have flourished, but such movies often have a good reputation, but most of them fail to explode at the box office.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the cost of this kind of movie is generally not high, and the box office performance does not need to be high to be able to recover the cost.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin breaks this convention.

Playing a multi-line narrative at the scale of a super commercial blockbuster, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can almost be said to be the first in Hollywood movies.

And because of Charlotte Booth's repeated revisions and refinements, the results were also very good.

Whether it is the reputation of the audience or the reputation of film critics, this movie is very high.

Many film critics who were originally very critical of commercial films gave high marks because of the film's unusually successful multi-line narrative.

Among them, Roger Albert's film review can be said to be a typical -

"For the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin", if you want to say whether I support it or not, of course I support it!"

"Charlotte Booth's film is indeed the best commercial film I've seen in the last two years. ”

"—even last year's Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and The Lord of the Rings 1 didn't reach that level, as for Star Wars Prequel 2: The Clone Attack......"

After a meaningful ellipsis, Roger Albert continued in his film review,

"However, when I was at an internal test screening organized by Disney, I didn't really think so. ”

Of course, the internal test version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" at that time was already a very good commercial blockbuster. ”

"It has almost all the elements of a successful commercial blockbuster. ”

"However, I'm still a little dissatisfied!"

"—because it's a Charlotte Booth movie!"

"As we all know, I prefer art films to commercial films in general. ”

"As one of the commercial film directors I admire the most in recent years, Charlotte Booth did not show the kind of innovation and characteristics that used to dazzle me in the previous preview version of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". ”

—or not enough. ”

"I'm a little dissatisfied. ”

"However, it was precisely this dissatisfaction that made me feel a rare surprise when I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 last night!"

"In a matter of months, he turned an already high-quality movie into a masterpiece through repeated adjustments!!"

Robert Iger felt that he could read the sense of surprise in Roger Albert's heart through words.

"Because strong storytelling is inherent in Charlotte Booth as a director, I won't say much about it here - what really surprised me was the director's use of multi-line storytelling. ”

"Yes, it's the use of multi-line storytelling, not the multi-line narrative itself!"

"How well this film handles multi-line storytelling, you just have to watch the movie to know. However, the things that are hidden in the process of multi-line narrative by Mr. Director through the lens language and editing are, in my opinion, what really stands out about this film——"

Through the multi-line narrative, Charlotte Booth controls the pace of the story, and under this rhythmic change hidden behind the multi-line narrative, the pace of the film gradually accelerates, and then layers of foreshadowing, and finally forms a climax at the intersection of the story lines. ”

"-This is the reason why we should be a little tired after watching this extremely informative and fast-paced movie, but we still can't get enough of it and want to watch it a second time!"

"Many critics say that "The Shawshank Redemption" is a movie that perfectly controls the emotional rhythm of the audience, so we will be deeply moved after watching that movie. ”

"Now, I would say that Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is also a film that perfectly controls the emotions of the audience through the rhythm of a multi-line narrative - a commercial blockbuster - for which even I, after the premiere, watched it a second time......" ()
