Chapter 825: Numbers that must be remembered in film history

""The Avengers" is in full swing, and the box office of the midnight show ranks second in film history!"

Early on Friday morning, almost all the major entertainment media that obtained the relevant statistical data released similar news on the front page headlines.

"In the early hours of the morning, Duke Rosenberg's super masterpiece "The Avengers" officially landed on the North American theaters, and its zero midnight show broke out with 33.8 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "The Dark Knight" to become a new superhero movie and Duke Rosenberg's midnight-show record king."

"Although this figure is not small compared with last year's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2"'s terrifying $43.5 million midnight gross, the heroes of Marvel have proved the charm of gathering together to fight monsters Super value, especially the excellent word-of-mouth effect of "The Avengers" and the great enthusiasm of fans, so box office analysts are optimistic about its subsequent market performance..."

Just as the media said, the North American film market, which is mainly composed of teenagers, exploded with terrifying enthusiasm on Friday.

In Los Angeles, the three theater chains located in Santa Monica's commercial plaza welcomed dozens of customers as soon as they opened in the morning. Fifteen minutes later, the number of people in each theater increased by five times.

By noon, the three theater chains of AMG, Emperor Entertainment and Artists on the square were already buzzing with people, and every corner of the hall was crowded with people. Some people were sent to maintain the order at the scene, because many people who couldn't buy tickets complained.

There is no way, the three theaters have shown "The Avengers" on almost all the screens they can take out, but because they are super popular locations, there are simply not enough tickets.

"I don't care how you explain to the publisher!"

In an office of Imperial Cinemas, the theater manager is yelling at the schedule director, "In addition to keeping the schedule of "The Hunger Games" at 15%. Except for a theater that screens other films in turn, I want all the screens to show "The Hunger Games." The Avengers"!"

The upsurge of the Avengers came naturally. There was a long queue in Times Square in New York. These people queued for one purpose, waiting to watch "The Avengers"!

This wonderful scene immediately attracted the attention of the media, and CNN and NBC's television broadcast vans and reporters had already rushed over. Constantly interviewing fans in line.

A movie fan showed the Captain America shield backpack he was carrying to the camera, "I am a supporter of Captain America!"

Many fans interviewed yelled at the camera about their favorite heroes.

"I'm a fan of Iron Man!"

"I love Thor and Loki the most!"

"I like Black Widow, I like Scarlett Johansson!"

"I'm not a fan of any superheroes, I came to this movie because I love Duke Rosenberg movies!"

Even if it's Friday, "The Avengers" has set off a viewing frenzy across the United States, starting in the afternoon. The attendance rate of the theaters showing "The Avengers" basically exceeded 60%. The number of movie fans gathered in theaters in popular locations such as Santa Monica's Commercial Plaza and New York's Times Square cannot be described as full.

"The Avengers" sparked such a frenzy, which is also in line with the expectations of Duke, as well as Warner Bros. and Marvel Studios.

First of all, the promotional preparations for the film can be described as extremely large-scale. Counting from Duke directing "Iron Man", to "Captain America", "Hulk", "Iron Man 2" and "Thor", in just a few years, movies about the Avengers have been staged, no doubt It has accumulated extremely high popularity for the current collective dispatch. The easter eggs after each movie directly foreshadowed this masterpiece, and the snowball got bigger and bigger. More and more business, Duke and Marvel have pushed the superhero movie into a virtuous cycle.

Secondly, it is very rare for so many super heroes to gather together, as a representative of American pop culture. It is hard for movie audiences with young audiences as the main body not to have a star worship mentality, which can be seen in the movie derivatives all over the streets and related topics flooding forums and websites.

Again, the quality of the film is definitely the top choice. It has accumulated a good reputation through pre-marketing before it was released, and the audience who watched it after the release also gave it unanimous praise. What's more, the visual effect of the film is shocking, and it is worth going to the cinema to see it. The 3D version It also accelerated the box office boom.

In the end, the atmosphere of the film is relaxed and humorous. The heroes who used to look high and high have gained human affinity. This kind of character who breaks the established impression is easier to gain favor, and is suitable for all ages.

Of course, the most important factor for the popularity of "The Avengers" is marketing and... This is a light-hearted popcorn movie!

Even if the director is changed to Duke, "The Avengers" still doesn't have any so-called depth and philosophical thinking at all. This is a story that knows the result at the beginning: the bad guys want to rule the earth, and the good guys form an alliance. After a series of running-in After that, defeat the bad guys and save the world.

This is also a movie that combines Hollywood's usual gimmicks: super-glamorous fights, dense cold jokes, gatherings of handsome men and beautiful women, and promoting justice and friendship.

Unfortunately, this routine has succeeded again.

Although some people complain that the villains are too weak and the heroes are not played enough, "The Avengers" is enough to make the audience scream and laugh in the cinema, while untiing their pockets happily.

This is the biggest factor for the success of "The Avengers". It is not pretentious or deep, and the viewing experience is just one word - cool!

On the instant sharing website, the fastest and most retweeted message on Friday came from "The Avengers". No more movies to watch this summer!

This also makes those who are full of literary fan very unhappy.

However, no matter how much they cuss, it won't change the fact that The Avengers is bound to succeed and gain unrivaled fame.

Some people always look down on commercial films, thinking that if any director shoots them, as long as the budget is sufficient, they can produce good enough commercial films.

But is this the case? In Hollywood, almost everyone agrees that the difficulty of shooting a big-budget commercial film is far more difficult than that of an independent film!

Rome wasn't built in a day, and "The Avengers" wasn't just a combination of superheroes. Seemingly unnutritious popcorn movies are not something anyone can make, and they also need continuous innovation and improvement.

When the audience is tired of watching the heroes fighting alone, they will consider combining the heroes; after the success of the alliance, then tailor their own series for each hero, only to keep researching the market. It is the foundation for maintaining the continuous contribution of high-yield products in this industry, and it is the foundation for the film industry to maintain its status and development!

As the scope of film screenings expanded, there were also voices of disapproval, even cynicism.

"Movie rhythm is divided into many types, there is visual rhythm, there is emotional rhythm. For movies, emotional rhythm is a necessary condition. Visual rhythm is an irrelevant condition. Visual rhythm movies without emotional rhythm really make people sleepy , They fought so hot, the audience was like watching a few runny-nosed kids fight over a piece of bubble gum, and they pretended to be interested in waving flags and shouting out of disbelief, which is just too funny."

Like this superhero movie. It is impossible to please everyone, especially those who think they are full of artistic vision, and the film itself is not made for these people.

"No one forces you to buy a ticket to watch a superhero movie. You want to watch a slow-paced movie that promotes the development of the film's story with emotion. You can go to art theaters, why go to watch commercial movies and make yourself guilty!"

Following this reply immediately below. It can be said to be the best response to that kind of movie-going crowd. After all, even fools know what Hollywood superhero movies look like, but they want to use a literary mind and deliberately use an 'artistic' vision. Going into commercial theaters to examine them, we can only say that these people have a serious tendency to be abused.

And this is only the opinion of a very limited number of people, which will not affect the popularity of "The Avengers" at all.

The sky by the window was slightly pale, and David Ellison put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. Since 'Vin Diesel died in a car accident', his sleep quality was extremely poor, and the bald head always appeared on his In the dream, he was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep normally at all, and was even awakened by nightmares a few times.

But David Ellison has never regretted it. Although Vin Diesel's reputation has been slandered after his death, the car accident has attracted widespread attention. This is already very beneficial to "Fast and Furious 5". .

Walking onto the spacious balcony, David Ellison looked in the direction of Malibu. He had never looked forward to it like this—Duke Rosenberg failed once!

Even if it is as powerful as Duke Rosenberg, if the "Avengers" fails, it will be a huge loss.

Sitting at the table on the balcony, the butler not only brought coffee, but also the newspapers he must read every day.

David Ellison directly turned to the entertainment section. Yesterday was the time for "The Avengers" to fully land in North American theaters, and now the box office on the first day should be released.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the white porcelain coffee cup in David Ellison's hand fell heavily on the tray made of the same material. The tray immediately fell apart, and the brown liquid splashed out and landed on the newspaper, next to the stains. It is an unusually eye-catching number. This number is paired with a little coffee, just like Jim Carrey's exaggerated expression, mocking some people's wishful thinking.

"A new single-day box office record in North America, the first film in history to break through $100 million in a single-day box office in North America, "The Avengers" created! $100 million and 660,000!"

This is the headline of the entertainment edition, and this is a number that will definitely be remembered in the film history of North America and even the entire world!

After several deep breaths, the expressionless David Ellison calmed down. As the owner of a film company, he naturally knew the horror of this number.

This is not the final box office, not the box office of the first week, just the North American box office of "Avengers" in one day!

Slowly closed the newspaper, but this number, like a spell, was always entwined in David Ellison's mind, making him restless for a moment... (to be continued ~^~)

PS:   If there are no accidents, there are still two movies, and the book is over. I have to go back to my hometown for the New Year, and there is no Internet there... I would like to say a happy New Year to everyone in advance. In addition, give more monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
