Made in Hollywood

The income of this series is closely related to Duke. After leaving the premiere theater and returning to his home in Malibu, Duke immediately updated his instant sharing and comments on the official website, firmly promoting films that can benefit him.

"Pixar Studio's "Toy Story 3" has been 17 years since the first part, and more than 10 years since the second part. The kids who went to Woody and Buzz Lightyear have come of age, which is actually a bad situation for a sequel to a children's film."

"But what Pixar is best at is eating all ages. The first hour of the film is to entertain new friends, and the second half hour is to give back to old friends. Andy's growth from an ignorant little boy to a teenager who is about to enter the university campus, the various experiences in it It is very easy for the audience to have a sense of substitution, and because of this, the whole film always permeates a kind of sympathy and sadness in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, and it is actually a party for farewell."

Like other Hollywood film companies, Pixar Studio is not a company that exists alone. With the support of a huge platform like Time Warner, it will undoubtedly attract more media attention in terms of publicity.

Emotions are a marketing tool in North America, and "Toy Story 3", which plays the emotional card, has won a lot of praise from the media.

"The film uses a main story with clear lines and clear motives. The endless emergencies and ingenious resolutions always draw the audience into a seemingly far-fetched but interesting process. The interpretation of the characters by the main creators of the film is even better. In order to be bold, each character has bright spots and outstanding personality, including villains such as Hugging Bear, who also have rich personality levels, especially in the escape scene, which uses their respective advantages and cooperates with each other. The design is full of creativity."

For Duke and Time Warner, as long as the mainstream audience is willing to buy it, everything else can be thrown aside.

And the box office of "Toy Story 3" also aptly reflects this. Although the midnight box office is only 8.8 million US dollars, this is an animated film, and it also created the North American midnight box office record for an animated feature film!

By daytime on Friday, "Toy Story 3" was fully screened on more than 8,200 screens in 4,028 theaters in North America, although the film debuted in overseas markets earlier. But it does not affect the enthusiasm for movies in the United States. The radiation of the audience's huge word-of-mouth is entirely for the icing on the cake of the movie's box office.

On the day the filming started, the film earned $48.15 million in North America. This also broke the record for the North American premiere of an animated feature film held by Pixar Studios, even if you look at the world. This is also an unattainable achievement for animated films in a single market.

And "Jonah Hex", which opened at the same time as "Toy Story 3", became a tragedy. Sony Columbia Pictures' giant production only received more than 2 million US dollars in North America on Friday.

"Maybe we can't experience such dramatic reunion with toys like Andy, but at least the film will remind us of the toys that accompanied us through our lonely childhood. Chances are like Andy, whether their disappearing fate will touch your heartstrings inspired by "Toy Story 3" is a touchstone to test your childlike innocence and feelings."

"The dialogue between Andy and the little girl Bonnie actually implies the transmission and continuation of childlike innocence. When Andy passionately introduced these toys to Bonnie one by one with his unforgettable childhood, the shock and disappointment generated here can be understood. It's comparable to the opening 10 minutes of "Up", and it's more back to basics in expression, and it's a matter of course. The last 20 minutes of "Toy Story 3" alone are enough to make this film immortal, which is also true of Pixar animation. where the value lies."

For viewers who have seen the first part of "Toy Story", this movie means as much as the live-action "Transformers" movie to the tightrope.

"I watched "Toy Story" in third grade, and "Toy Story 3" was a college graduation... I would say this is a gift from Pixar Studios to our generation. Goodbye, my childhood! Thank you You, Woody! Thank you, Buzz Lightyear! Thank you, Pixar Studios!"

"The touching part of "Toy Story 3" is to help us old guys give a formal chance to say goodbye to childhood. When Andy, who is in college, carries Woody cowboys on his back again, seventeen years have passed. So friendly and gentle, it disappeared into the sunset far away from Muzha House."

"When Andy finally counted his toys, I realized that's how I grew up, and my toys will never go back to the same way. "Toy Story" has been imprinted on my heart since I was a child-let I think toys are small lives with emotions, and there are joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys in dimensions we don’t know. Compared with real life, toys will bring me less pressure. Toys will not die, as long as they are not abandoned, so thousands of Don't abandon them..."

Amid praise, "Toy Story 3" also enjoyed its first weekend.

In the first three days, the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached 110.3 million US dollars!

As an animated feature film with a relatively long preservation period in theaters, such a first-week box office almost indicates that "Toy Story 3" will inevitably be a super hit.

In terms of overseas box office, "Toy Story 3" performed well in the UK, France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia and even Latin America. To a certain extent cold reception.

Especially in the Chinese market where "The Avengers" has earned more than 1.598 billion RMB, "Toy Story 3" received a mediocre response. In the first three days, it only got less than 40 million RMB at the box office.

Of course, this is not just the reason for "Toy Story 3". Completely juvenile movies for children aged 10 and under.

However, even in the Far East, the overseas box office of "Toy Story 3" exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars in the first week, and the global box office totaled as high as 328.99 million U.S. dollars!

That's already a feat that could have Duke, Time Warner and Pixar throw a celebratory party.

When the box office of "The Avengers", which is a fast-moving consumer product in theaters, turned flat, "Toy Story 3" once again boosted Warner's journey to make money at the box office.

As time slowly approached July, the cumulative North American box office of "Toy Story 3" reached more than 297 million US dollars, and the North American box office breakthrough of 300 million US dollars is just around the corner.

At this time, no one doubts that the North American box office of "Toy Story 3" can exceed 400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office can exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars!

The ending song of the "Toy Story" series will inevitably create the myth of animated feature films.

At the same time, the popularity of "The Avengers" has been declining. Even though the number of theaters is still over 4,000, the screening rate has already dropped below 30%, and the single-day box office has also dropped to million dollar level.

However, at the end of June, "The Avengers" set a North American record for breaking $600 million the fastest. (to be continued ~^~)
