v2 Chapter 309： Competition between blasters

The end of the world is approaching, and the actor played by Bruce Willis has become the last hope. At the most critical moment, he pressed the control button of the nuclear bomb, and a huge explosion covered the entire screen, illuminating the theater and the screen. The pictures on the screen began to switch quickly, showing the excitement of the rescued humans on earth.

The film is obviously sensational with explosions, and the shots are switched quickly and sharply, which can easily stir the emotions of the audience.

The earth was saved, the film ended, and Allen and Jones walked out of the theater.

"Why is there always a feeling of deja vu?"

As he walked out of the theater, Jones said to Allen, "Continuous short-shot switching, crazy explosions, cities destroyed by explosions..."

Allen took over, "This film is very similar to Duke's earliest style, "Life and Death", "Independence Day" and "Break into Death Island" are all in this style."

"That's right." Jones nodded in agreement, "Michael Bay deserves to be a little blaster. It seems that he has learned a lot from Duke."

"It's a pity that what I learned is all outdated, and Duke no longer uses it." Allen sighed. "Duke has long since left this stage of relying on pure sensory stimulation to attract audiences. Michael Bay is just Duke? Rosenberg second 2. The gap between "Peerless Tribulation" and "The Matrix" is too obvious, and the gap between Michael Bay and Duke is even more obvious."

At the turn of the century, rumors of the destruction of various worlds circulated in the society. "Heaven and Earth Clash" and "Peerless Tribulation" came into being. However, due to the different distribution companies, the treatment of the two films was very different. The factor of the factory was suppressed by major companies at the same time, and the latter belonged to the works of Walt Disney. There are as many as 3127 theaters opened!

The former explosive shell, with his dazzling editing and crazy explosive skills, conquered countless North American audiences in the early stages of his career. Today Michael? Bay still walks this way, but some roads, the first to go People have meat to eat. The second person may have to gnaw his bones, and the person who walks back may only have soup.

"Peerless Tribulation" is undoubtedly a work of Michael Bay's early collection, and even pushed the genre of movies that used explosions as sensational combined with other summer vulgar elements to a peak.

But now the situation has changed a long time ago. Since the early 1990s, North American audiences have been baptized by Duke with three movies that mainly sell explosive visual effects. Expectations for this type of film will undoubtedly be much lower.

No one can deny that "Peerless Tribulation" is an excellent summer popcorn, but the answer sheet handed over on the first day of its large-scale release does not particularly match the film's $140 million production cost.

The first day of screenings on Friday. "Peerless Tribulation" collected 9.66 million US dollars in 3127 theaters.

This movie with the theme of an asteroid hitting the earth has only a better opening performance than that of the same type of film "Clash between Heaven and Earth".

There is no doubt that the steady box office trend of "The Matrix" has obviously affected these subsequent films.

At the beginning of the new weekend, compared to the single-day box office that had been declining in the previous few days, "The Matrix" once again ushered in a moment of rebound, in 3110 theaters. This was an increase of 27% from Thursday's 7.52 million U.S. dollars to 9.7 million U.S. dollars. Just overwhelming the end of "Peerless Tribulation".

The box office rebound of "Godzilla" was also one of the factors that affected "Peerless Tribulation". This monster movie rose 25% on Friday to $5.43 million.

Compared with "The Matrix" and "Peerless Tribulation", "Godzilla" has fallen behind, this weekend's North American film market. It is completely a situation where the first two compete and fight.

The discussion and interpretation of "The Matrix" on the Internet has been heating up. At this stage, you do not need to rely on the network navy to guide you. Duke has already walked the road of Michael Bay and knows that he likes this type of film most. Of people are teenagers. The largest group that the Internet can affect is also young people.

The online public relations department of Pani Kellys had already taken action right after the premiere of "Peerless Tribulation". You can see traces of them on major websites and forums, including imdb. .

"The movie "Peerless Tribulation", whether it is visual, auditory, brain, conventional sense, or the desire to watch a good movie, is a pain."

"Want to find the mistake in a movie like "Peerless Tribulation" is like hitting an elephant with an'ant gun'. The fatal flaws of all movies-absurd plot, weak character description, puzzling performance and All around the hustle and bustle—all of these are not lacking."

"Let me count how many reasons I hate "Peerless Tribulation", one...two...three..."

""Peerless Tribulation" makes people feel confusing, and lacks exciting plot rhythm and role interpretation. This is largely caused by aesthetic fatigue. Michael Bay is completely imitating Duke Rosenberg when he was young. It’s a very poor imitation."

On the relatively free speech platform on the Internet, in just one day, it is not conducive to the dissemination of Michael Bay and "Peerless Tribulation" speech everywhere, and the spread of this new virus-like negative speech The traditional group, which is too big to turn around, is not ready to deal with it.

Below these discredited posts, there are often quite a few incited netizens who leave messages and reply, and in the eyes of most viewers, Michael Bay is indeed imitating Duke's earliest film style.

"Michael Bay is just imitating Duke. His movies are nothing new at all."

"I've been to "Peerless Tribulation", there are many explosions, but they are all tricks that Duke throws away, and compared to "The Matrix", what he took pictures of junk stuff..."

Walt Disney participated in a large-scale report on the shooting last week, and its abc TV station is an activist among them. Even now, Disney’s media is still making a fuss about the shooting, which has affected the choices of many viewers.

Competition is ubiquitous in this circle, not to mention this is the most important summer file for commercial films. No one can say anything about Disney's behavior, but Warner Bros. is not willing to defend itself in terms of competition.

In addition to Duke's online actions, Warner also actively discredited Walt Disney's major production in traditional media.

"Although "Peerless Tribulation" is magnificent and noisy. It is nothing new. Michael Bay uses all the movie techniques that Duke Rosenberg has given up. Both are famous for making explosions. The gap is obvious..."

--"era"

"This is a science fiction film, yes, but the science fiction in "Peerless Tribulation" is based on the real world. We just want to ask, how unreliable is the plot setting of the film? Is it more absurd to let a group of ordinary oil workers fly into space and drill wells on asteroids?"

-"Los Angeles Times"

Today's Michael Bay is far behind Duke in terms of age and chaos. Perhaps the influence of traditional media on young people is decreasing, but in North America, the birthplace of the Internet, after years of development. The Internet has become an indispensable part of the lives of many teenagers and even office workers.

For commercial films, the Saturday box office on the first weekend is generally higher than the Friday box office, but due to a series of unfavorable factors, the Saturday box office of "Peerless Tribulation" actually went down by 12%. 7. A single daily report received USD 8.44 million.

"The Matrix" continued its steady trend, with a slight increase in box office on Saturday, earning $10.11 million in a single day. Once again, "Peerless Tribulation" has already occupied an absolute advantage in this weekend schedule.

Saturday is over. The weekend competition between "Peerless Tribulation" and "The Matrix" has become clear, and the next day on Sunday, "Peerless Tribulation" continued to decline, and reported $8.11 million that day.

"The Matrix" also couldn't escape the normal market rules, and ended the rebound this weekend, and the box office fell to 9.21 million US dollars on Sunday.

"Los Angeles Times reported. In the fourth weekend of May that just ended, "The Matrix" continued its strong performance since its release. On the third weekend of its release, it earned $29.02 million, an amazing weekly box office. Three consecutive championships on the leaderboard."

"Affected by the strong performance of "The Matrix", the box office of "Peerless Divine Tribulation" released this weekend did not reach the $40 million expected by Walt Disney. The first weekend ended with $26.21 million, ranking the weekly box office. Ranked second on the list."

"The third place on the box office list is "Godzilla", which was heavily invested by Sony Columbia Pictures. It was affected by the severe decline in audience reputation. This film has a big box office dive this weekend, with a 50% dive. Only 13.15 million dollars came in."

"So far, "The Matrix" has a cumulative total of US$211.47 million in the North American box office, temporarily occupying the first place in the North American annual box office list. At the same time, the film has landed in more overseas markets. The overseas box office has accumulated US$156.99 million, and the global box office has reached nearly 400 million U.S. dollars, which is also the highest box office score of any film released this year!"

After the weekend has passed, the last Monday of May arrives. This is a traditional holiday in North America-Memorial Day. The box office of most films has declined, but the extent is extremely limited.

"The Matrix" took another $8.95 million to push the North American box office to $220.42 million; The trend of "Peerless Tribulation" was also relatively stable, ending the day with a figure of $8.05 million, and the North American box office increased to $34.26 million; "Godzilla" received 4.95 million U.S. dollars, the North American box office rose to 64.82 million U.S. dollars, and ultimately the North American box office is very likely to exceed 100 million.

DreamWorks has become the biggest frustration since the beginning of the summer vacation. From the announcement to the screening and then to the theater, "Clash of Heaven and Earth" suffered a total siege by six major companies. After the fourth weekend in the theater, due to the single library Both the box office and the overall box office fell below the psychological bottom line of the theaters, combined with the pressure of the six major companies, has become the target of the North American Theater Alliance's mandatory downgrade, and the final North American box office figure stayed above 70.06 million US dollars.
