[Exclusive! After the premiere of "Interstellar", Daniel Wu, Spielberg, and Cameron reunited privately, and there seemed to be a follow-up collaboration! 】
In the early morning of August 10, after the premiere of "Interstellar", the entire North American Internet was flooded by this movie.
Many sci-fi fans who have been paying attention to this movie have completely let go of the hanging hearts in their hearts.
The word-of-mouth of the premiere did not collapse!
Most of the critics and guests who attended the premiere praised the film on their own Twitter, saying that they experienced a wonderful visual experience comparable to "Avatar".
Wu Yuan brought a very good science fiction story to everyone, while the science fiction color was full, he also continued his consistent film shooting style, integrated "emotion" into the film, and brought a movie that was deeply shocked from the visual look to the soul!
Although everyone avoided talking about the specific plot of the movie because of the lack of spoilers, just the various praises for the special effects scenes, shocking looks, and story depth are enough to reassure most fans who pay attention to this movie.
It looks like "Interstellar" is a very good movie and worth going to the cinema to watch!
After all, an IMAX 3D movie ticket is still not cheap, 3-4 times more than a regular movie ticket!
This kind of "high-end" movie still has to sell tickets carefully to save blood losses!
Well, now that most of the critics and guests who have watched the premiere say that the movie is very good, and that it is worth the ticket price or even more than it, then everyone can boldly buy the movie tickets on the day of the premiere!
Guests may blindly say unconscionable praise for the film for the sake of face and connections, but fans are confident that the invited critics won't do that.
This is the reputation accumulated by these film critics for more than ten years, and the trust of the public!
Early in the morning of the 10th, countless fans in North America rushed to the movie theater closest to their homes to buy tickets for "Interstellar".
The first choice is, of course, IMAX 3D theaters, even if the price is indeed very expensive, but after the baptism of "Avatar", almost every North American movie fan knows how big the gap between IMAX 3D movies and ordinary movies is.
It can be said that it is comparable to the gap between black and white films and color films.
If conditions permit, it must be to watch the complete version of IMAX 3D in order to feel the charm of the movie "Interstellar" to the greatest extent!
One, one, another.
Nearly 4,000 movie theaters across the United States that have confirmed that they will release "Interstellar" together on the 12th, are frantically selling tickets for "Interstellar" on the 12th, 13th, and 14th.
The IMAX 3D hall was the best sold and the first to sell out.
After all, there are currently less than 600 IMAX 3D screens in North America, and this is an urgent increase after the explosion of "Avatar", otherwise there were less than 400 a year ago.
After the tickets for the IMAX 3D theater were sold out, many fans who didn't buy tickets didn't skimp on their wallets, buying a ticket for an ordinary 3D theater first, planning to take a look at it first, and then it's too late to make up for the IMAX 3D version!
I have to say that the spending power of North American fans is indeed the highest in the world.
Of course, not only in North America, but also in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Russia in Europe, Australia, New Zealand in Oceania, Colombia and Brazil in South America, and other countries that will be released simultaneously on August 12, the movie tickets for "Interstellar" are also on sale.
Compared with Nolan, who has limited international influence, Wu Yuan's international reputation is very loud!
The pre-sale results of "Interstellar" three days in advance have already surpassed the box office results of "Inception" in the first weekend.
On the 11th, Universal, which is responsible for the global distribution of the film, urgently calculated a wave of pre-sold movie tickets, and came up with a pre-sale of $32 million at the North American pre-box office and $42 million at the global pre-sale box office!
Universal, which is well versed in the way of publicity, of course, threw this data to various media as soon as possible, made special reports on the Internet, and spent money on marketing.
["Interstellar" pre-sale box office broke $40 million! ] quickly topped the top of Twitter's hot search list.
"I knew Daniel wouldn't disappoint!"
"Generous Crab! So many people buy tickets in advance for this movie? This is crazy! ”
"Is another Avatar coming?"
"The North American box office champion this week doesn't have a weekly box office of 40 million, right?"
"That's crazy news, maybe I should buy a movie ticket and see the movie when the time comes?"
"Damn, so many people are going to see this movie? I didn't buy a ticket, and when my friends talked about the movie, I couldn't communicate with them, so it was embarrassing, so I'll buy it now! ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to watch this movie, or I'll lose the conversation with my friends."
Universal's promotional methods are very effective, because seeing so many people buy movie tickets for "Interstellar" in advance, some netizens who are afraid that they will not be able to integrate into the topic of their friends at that time also choose to follow the trend and buy movie tickets for this movie.
The world is so strange, when there are many people watching the same movie, if you don't watch it, it's unsociable behavior, then you can't join the discussion topic, be isolated, be ridiculed.
In this case, even if you may not like the subject matter of the movie, but in order to fit in with the group, then you will buy a movie ticket to watch the movie.
This is the herd effect!
When "Interstellar" caused a large number of sci-fi fans to grab tickets for the public because of the high reputation of the premiere, a wave of phenomena swept across the United States was inadvertently formed!
Of course, there will be some people who are deliberately rebellious, the more popular the movie, the more they don't want to watch it, and they have to be their mavericks, but this kind of person is a minority after all.
When the time came to 11 o'clock in the morning on the evening of August 11th, there was only one hour left before the North American release of "Interstellar", the advance box office of this movie had reached 45 million in North America and 67 million US dollars worldwide!
All movie theaters in the United States where "Interstellar" was released were sold out at 0 o'clock!
Countless fans who like sci-fi and have been paying attention to "Interstellar", or fans of Wu Yuan, or fans and audiences who bought tickets for the premiere with their friends because of their herd mentality, all walked out of the house at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night and went to the cinema!
An incomparable, wonderful movie feast is waiting for them! (End of chapter)
