Chapter 694

Mark is now running between Los Angeles and New York. In Los Angeles, he mainly deals with film and television production, while in New York, he deals with corporate business.

This time I went back to Los Angeles to celebrate the global breakthrough of Transformers 2 (460 million North meters, 590 million overseas and a total box office of 150 million), which has become MM's first global breakthrough of 1 billion.

Therefore, mm held a grand celebration for the cast of transformers at MM center. Michael Bay, Mason, Megan Fox and David Ellison were among the four heroes. They accepted everyone's cheers and congratulations. This is MM's first real super blockbuster. Many people think that mark should break this record. Mark did it with the dark knight, But it's Warner's work.

At present, transformers 2 has exceeded one billion yuan in the world. If there is no accident, it will be the global box office champion of beimi in 2009. It is much higher than the second iron man 2 and ha 6. Avatar by James Cameron, the former king of the world, will be a great threat. The king of the world will grind a sword in ten years. It is no joke, but it is set for December 15, only 15 days, No matter how powerful it is, it is difficult to break the record of transformers in 15 days. Its annual results will be included in 2010, so now Transformers 2 is a unique show.

The four giants of MM toasted together, making Mai copy blush with excitement, which is rare in mm history. The photos he took with the four giants also made headlines in major media and were touted as the king of the new generation of box office.

Mason and Megan Fox are even more popular, completely surpassing the combination of Kristen Stewart and Robert bertinson to become the best screen couple.

Mason can be called a late bloomer. He joined the mark Gang very early, second only to black, and is the second to sign up. But David Lee and others are very popular. He is only a second and third rate star, and he also plays a supporting role in grey the intern.

Now he pretended to die for half a year and finally became popular all over the world with the transformers series. He is called Little John Depp. Just like Depp, he has been popular all over the world for ten years.

This year, he was named the first most beautiful man in the world by people magazine and the most popular idol star in Hollywood.

The good thing is that there was only one new film in the top ten box office in the United States last weekend, that is the big production 2012 produced by Columbia film.

The film made its US $65 million premiere in the United States and climbed to the top of the box office without suspense at the weekend box office. However, what makes Columbia film more happy is that the box office of the film abroad is much higher than that of the local box office, reaching US $160 million. In other words, Roland Emmerich's disaster blockbuster made us $225 million in the world within three days. In the ranking of the global ticket room list at the premiere weekend, the achievement of US $225 million in 2012 made it successfully ranked fifth.

Perhaps it is the old saying that "eating alone is difficult to get fat". Although the box office of "2012" in the United States is good, the total score of the American film market last weekend decreased by 5% compared with the same period last year. By the way, the same period last year was when 007: breaking the quantum crisis won the title. At that time, the box office of the premiere weekend of breaking the quantum crisis was $67.52 million, which was higher than that of today's 2012. Moreover, there was Madagascar 2 later. Therefore, it is natural that the box office of the American film market last weekend was lower than that of last year.

"2012" won its first battle, and its reputation is bipolar. As soon as mm film, a $200 million film, went into battle, no other new film dared to resist last weekend. Only focus film launched the British film "pirate radio" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman in 882 cinemas. The film also ranked 11th at the weekend box office of only $2.86 million, and has no ability to compete for the box office.

"2012" has a big show. Columbia film arranged for the film to be released in 3404 cinemas. The box office recovered $65 million at the weekend, and the box office of a single museum was $19095, ranking No. 1 on the box office list.

What does this achievement represent? It may need comparison to see that, first of all, in the box office of the premiere film weekend in November, US $65 million ranked seventh, followed by Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire (102 million); Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone (90.29 million); Harry Potter and the chamber of Secrets (88.35 million); Superman mobilization (70.46 million); Twilight (69.63 million) and 007: breaking the quantum crisis (67.63 million).

However, among these films, the final box office of "breaking the quantum crisis" in the United States is less than $200 million, which is not very satisfied with the 60 million level opening of "2012", which has a production cost of $200 million and spent a huge amount of money on publicity. Fortunately, there was a surprise in the overseas market.

Secondly, on the weekend box office list for the premiere of disaster films, "2012" now ranks second, below "the day after tomorrow". Five years ago, the weekend box office of "the day after tomorrow", also directed by Roland Emmerich, was $68.74 million in the United States, and the final box office of the film in the United States was $186 million. This reminds Columbia film and Emmerich of their appreciation of "2012" The "spur" on the next box office road should be strengthened.

However, in the face of this opening box office, Emmerich should also be happy for himself. After all, his work "ten thousand years before history" failed miserably at the box office last year. The box office at the premiere weekend was $35.86 million, and finally he couldn't get back $100 million in the United States. Now, the opening performance of "2012" was $65 million, which somehow saved his face.

Leighton of Colombia has come out to praise Emmerich, saying that this achievement proves that Emmerich is a great director. With the amazing pictures, shocking special effects and moving stories of 2012, Emmerich has set a new benchmark for the industry. It is estimated that Leighton said after seeing the overseas box office of the film for three days, with a global premiere box office of US $160 million, It has become the fifth film after Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (236 million), Spider Man 3 (231 million), Pirates of the Caribbean 3: the end of the world (216 million) and Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix (193 million). The overseas box office of US $160 million proves that Hollywood blockbusters have a better ability to collect money overseas than at home. This point can also be proved by emerrich's last ten thousand years before history. At that time, the total box office of the film in the United States was less than US $100 million, but the overseas box office was US $175 million. With the support of the people of the world, who dares to say that Hollywood blockbusters are not as beautiful as in the past?

Another interesting phenomenon is that in the United States, the general young people are less enthusiastic about 2012 than adults, and the male audience likes the film less than women. According to statistics, among the audience who saw the film three days before the weekend, 55% were over the age of 25, while 52% were women. I don't know whether this represents that Emmerich has broadened the audience of disaster films or that the inherent audience of disaster films is losing. In short, we must continue to pay attention to the box office performance of 2012 and can't be blindly optimistic.

32 American media gave 2012 a comprehensive score of 51 points.

As for word-of-mouth, being kind can be said to be mixed, but it is more inclined to "destroy". The comprehensive score given by 32 American media is 51 points (the current score given by IMDB netizens is 6.7 points and the number of votes is 7246).

The San Francisco Chronicle gave a full score of 100. The former commented that "among the genre films, this film is almost perfect. Emmerich's 2012 gives all kinds of angles you can think of, but these contents are far deeper than you think."

The Washington Post thinks the scene is beautiful and profound.

The Chicago Sun, variety and slate gave more than 80 points, and they all praised stunts.

However, this is the end of the good words. Seven other media such as entertainment weekly, Hollywood report and time gave more than 70 points. The New York Post thought the lines of this film were too vulgar. "Time" believes that "any audience with some film viewing experience can easily see through the bad suspense made by the director in the process of watching this film, but it can also bring you joy from time to time."

The voice of the village weekly and other seven media gave 50 points. The comments were summed up in one sentence: the special effects are good, and the script is a disaster. "

Five media, including the New York Times, gave the film more than 40 points and said it was a disaster. If you think these comments are too vague and general, please see the comments given by Peter Chavez, the rolling stone film critic who gave the film 25: "Beware of 2012, this film has quite unreliable miracles and Transformers 2." As a long story, the whole film is cynical, full of prejudice, mentally disabled, wasting time, wasting money, soulless, and the theme is so stupid that it is in place.

However, compared with the opinions of film critics, the comments given by IMDB netizens may be more interesting.

At present, IMDB netizens are playing a post game "100 things learned from 2012" to express their dissatisfaction with the film with the spirit of entertainment.

Here are a few items: 1. If you want to survive the end of the world in 2012, you must first take a few lessons in flying. Note, just a few lessons. 2. Immigration to Africa. 3. When choosing animals to go to the ark, do not choose cattle, sheep or pigs (anyway, do not choose any animals that can provide food or clothes for human beings). Choose giraffes, rhinoceros and so on. After the disaster, let them return to their hometown Africa.

The other nine films in the top ten are all old films. The box office of Christmas Carol, the box office champion last weekend, improved last weekend. The box office fell by only 25.7%, with a revenue of US $22.32 million, ranking the second. At present, the total box office of the film in the United States is US $63.28 million, which is better than that of the polar express of US $51.46 million in 10 days. However, the biggest weakness of Christmas Carol is that the production cost is too high, with us $200 million. If Disney film wants to rely on it Christmas Carol is profitable, but we have to work harder.
