It is said that at the beginning, everyone could still express their opinions and opinions on the two dramas "Gladiator" and "Speed Snail" very self-disciplined, but with the expansion of the influence of these two movies, it is inevitable that there will be a fierce war of words.

""Gladiator" is good, that low-cost "Speed Snail" is a fart!"

"If "Speed Snail" is a fart, then "Gladiator" is not even a fart!"

""Gladiator" is an epic blockbuster, "Speed Snail" is just an idiot fairy tale, and the two movies are not on the same level! In short, top "Gladiator", step on "Speed Snail"! ”

""Speed Snail" is profound, and "Gladiator" is too bloody!"

"Profound shit, "Extreme Speed" is a fool's movie!"

"You're stupid!"

"Silly your whole family!" ……

The war of words brought about a shock to the entire Hollywood film industry...... There have never been so many people who have fought to the death for two movies. What's even more surprising is that the scolding is still two movies that are not touched, one is the epic blockbuster "Gladiator", and the other is the animated movie "Speed Snail", it can be said that these two dramas are not in the same genre at all.

Faced with such a situation, many well-known filmmakers came out and said: "Which of these two movies is better, you might as well extinguish the fire first, because as far as we know, the weekly box office ranking is about to be released, and it will be clear who will win and who will be inferior at a glance!" ”

Box office charts?

As soon as these words came out, those who were shouting worked harder, with only one purpose - to cheer for their favorite movies!

This made the peacemakers who originally wanted to come out to calm the war of words stunned in such a situation. The North American Movie of the Week list is finally out.

No. 1 in the North American weekly box office chart, Universal Pictures produced the epic blockbuster "Gladiator", with a box office of $28 million in the first week;

ranked second in the weekly box office list in North America, and the animated film "Speed Snail" co-produced by Paramount Dream Pictures grossed $21 million in the first week;

ranked third in the weekly box office list in North America, and the disaster film "The Perfect Storm" produced by Warner Studios produced a box office of $17.5 million in the first week;

ranked fourth in the weekly box office list in North America, and the action film "Sixty Seconds of Speed" produced by Haimer Films, with a box office of 16.6 million US dollars in the first week;

ranked fifth in the weekly box office list in North America, and Columbia Pictures produced the action film "Agent Beauty", with a box office of $14.8 million in the first week;

……

There were no surprises. "Gladiator," which opened in the first week of May, topped the box office with more than $28 million. is like a bombshell detonating the upcoming summer vacation, in comparison, "Speed Snail" is inferior to "Gladiator" in terms of momentum. But this movie is not a popcorn movie. It can be said that there is some artistic component. Therefore, it is the runner-up with $21 million, a statistic that makes Fantasy and Paramount mixed, and for several other giants. Shock and a little fear.

Also released in the same week is Warner's "The Perfect Storm", although this drama invited the veteran Hollywood actor George Clooney to lead the starring role, but disaster movies have never been the main dish in the North American market, except for the "Titanica" and the future "2012", so the box office of this drama failed to break 20 million this week, which is a bit of a pity.

As for the energetic Hemo Film Company, this time it took the speed car route and filmed "Sixty Seconds of Speed" with the theme of car theft, packaging crime, action and racing together, and then invited the recent Hollywood popular king Nicolas Cage to star, but unfortunately, this drama does not match Cage's temperament very well, especially the racing player's spirit of misfire and death, which was not interpreted by Cage, so that the whole play was a little chicken, and the box office income in the first week was 16.6 million US dollars. Many years later, Keith was still haunted by the play, complaining that the script was "too bad" and "like a cheap popular novel, without the slightest bit of movement and excitement~!" ”

Columbia Pictures' "Agent Beauty" can be said to be a very good comedy, inviting Hollywood A-list actress Sandra Bullock to play the heroine, and the whole play takes Hollywood's best comedy route, packaging the beauty pageant into the police action, and cleverly compiling an interesting story of a beauty catching a thief, it can be said that this movie with a not too high production cost has the potential to be a dark horse in the summer vacation, and the box office reached 14.8 million US dollars in the first week.

In addition to the above five films, almost all the other films released at the same time have become accompaniments, especially those film companies that are preparing to be released, after research, they decided to actively avoid - of course, to avoid "Gladiator", and these nasty "blockbusters".

With the passage of time, the glory of "Gladiator" has become more and more radiant, and the box office has become more and more prosperous, and the gap between "Speed Snail", which originally relied on "prison premiere" to cause public opinion turmoil, is getting bigger and bigger with it at the box office.

It seems that the little snails can't fight these gladiators with swords and shields.

However, this did not discourage Paramount and Dream, because although it was suppressed by "Gladiator" at the box office, this animated film could only rank second, but it was able to achieve such results in the melee of the heroes, which is enough to show its uniqueness, of course, there are professional film analysts who analyze that the final box office of this movie can completely exceed 200 million US dollars, as for who can laugh the most between it and "Gladiator", only time will tell.

However, Yi Feiyang, a Chinese-American director, was recognized in North America for his first animated film, he is versatile and has a variety of filming types, which has become his golden signboard, so that some Hollywood people who do good things have named him a "versatile director".

Paramount, who worked with Dream Pictures on this drama, also made some gains, and of course if "Gladiator" was too domineering, everything would have been much better.

After the box office rankings came out in the second week, the first place was still "Gladiator", a big drama that hurts the eggs, the results of "Speed Snail" were pulled down a lot again, and the potential dark horse "Agent Beauty" surpassed "Speed Sixty Seconds" and rose one place, and almost all of the rest of the box office also collectively declined, due to the reason that "Gladiator" was too strong and occupied too much box office.

Seeing such an ending, those who were originally optimistic about "Gladiator" began to be proud, "Didn't you brag about how amazing that shit cartoon was, and now you see it?" Who's the big winner! ”

""Gladiator" dominates the world, making the damned "Snail" seem to have no place to be buried!"

"The sword and shield are better than the little snail shell!"

……

In the face of this one-sided situation, those media reporters who had nothing to do and had nothing to do began to spit on "Snail", no, specifically at Yi Feiyang, the director of this play.

"Magical Yang is no longer magical, "Snail" is about to defeat "Gladiator"!"

"Prison premieres don't work, box office explosions are the last word!"

……

In short, Yi Feiyang, who has been in the limelight recently, has become a rising bird, and has been beaten by many jealous guys.

In this regard, Yi Feiyang laughed it off and didn't give any explanation, as long as the box office was not too bad.

But Yi Feiyang doesn't think so, it doesn't mean that other people think the same way, at least Fat Jack, Rabbit Bill and others are very unconvinced, but it's not over yet...... Yes, it's not over yet!

May 17th.

Dream Pictures announced that the song and dance film "Youth Musical" directed by director Jack Black will be released soon!

"Youth Musical"?!

Isn't it just a song and dance route, a follow-up movie aimed at teenagers?

I didn't expect this drama to be released so soon!

As long as you are a little brained, you know that since Yi Feiyang's "Dance Floor Competition" became popular all over the world, the theme of song and dance films, which was originally going to be alive and dead, has been completely revitalized by him, and many film companies have begun to shoot song and dance films, but this drama produced by authentic Dream Pictures has been expected by everyone.

If the announcement of Dream Pictures is nothing, then another news announced by Dream Pictures and its partner Lionsgate Pictures completely shocked everyone's attention.

The news is simple: the adventure and magic blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has been filmed for more than half a year, will be released worldwide soon!

What?

No way!

"Pirates of the Caribbean", which Dream and Lionsgate produced together, is also about to be released?!

What does this mean?!

It shows that Dream Pictures is about to have three dramas released in this summer vacation!

"Speed Snail"!

"Youth Musical"!!

And Pirates of the Caribbean!!

Three plays, it looks like the dream is going to use three plays to directly PK Universal's "Gladiator"!

A big war, on the verge of breaking out!

……

Ten days later, the situation changed.

"Gladiator", which originally occupied the hegemonic position, began to decline at the box office because the theater chain was robbed, from more than 28 million to more than 25 million, and after another week, the box office fell from 25 million to 23 million again......

In contrast, although the box office of "Speed Snail" has also fallen, it has not fallen so much, with a weekly box office of about 18.8 million, and the weekly box office of "Song Youth" is 17.5 million, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" has reached an astonishing 21.8 million!

It can be said that the situation of the whole box office war has become more subtle, but soon, the whole situation has taken a new turn.

In the third week, there was a major earthquake in the entire North American film industry!

Due to the good reputation of "Pirates of the Caribbean", fans flock to it.

The original weekly box office overlord "Gladiator" was overturned by a group of pirates, "Pirates of the Caribbean" became the box office hegemon of the week with 33 million US dollars, and if you count "Speed Snail" and "Youth Musical", the weekly box office of Dream Pictures reached an astonishing 60 million US dollars!!

This achievement made all Hollywood dumbfounded!! (To be continued......)
