Chapter 1860： summer battle

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe! 1

The whereabouts of Evan Bell is still a mystery, but the North American summer box office battle that gathers millions of people every year will not have any impact. No one will forget, "Batman Prequel The Dark Knight..." is definitely this summer. main event. It's just that I don't know if Evan Bell will attend the premiere of the movie.

When it comes to the premiere, people can't help but feel a little dazed. It seems that Evan Bell has not attended the premiere of the movie for a long time. Thinking about it, the last time Evan Bell attended the official premiere has been... years." Pirates of the Caribbean, now, really is a distant history.

Evan-Bell's absence seems to have aroused people's more infinite reverie. Both the media and the audience miss Evan-Bell's incomparably flamboyant face, especially the singers under Eleven Music broke out collectively this summer. Yu, Eleven Studio has become the focus of attention in the summer box office battle, and Evan-Bell has become more and more indispensable. The summer box office battle in the fierce year of Z kicked off after the three consecutive championships of "High School Musical 3", and the highlight of the "Iron Man" took the lead. .

After "Iron Man" won two consecutive championships, Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia Z Prince Caspian" won the championship for a week, and then "Indiana Jones 4, came on stage, successfully crowned two consecutive championships." "Wangcheng", "Kung Fu Panda", and "The Magical Hulk" each won the championship for a week. After that, "Confused Detective" won the box office championship for the week at a low altitude, which is also the new box office actress with "The Queen Wears Prada" Anne Hathaway won the North American weekend box office again after a lapse of a year.

This year's summer box office battle is obviously beyond the expectations of many people. "The Incredible Hulk" is cold again. This is when Ang Lee planted a somersault on the Hulk. This time Edward Norton, Tim Rosgar The powerful combination of Shang Liv and Taylor still failed to reverse the tragic color of the Hulk, the comic hero. The investment of 150 million won the box office of five to five million dollars in the first week of the weekend. It can be regarded as barely passable.

Subsequently, "Confused Detective" led by Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell was crowned the summer champion with an ultra-low score of 38 million. Of course, compared to the film's 80 million investment, The premiere was still pretty good. But in the summer season, it is indeed a little surprising to win the championship with such ordinary results.

Could it be that the competition for this summer's program is not strong enough? Of course this is not the case. All the works are very competitive. The comprehensive media score of "Iron Man" has reached 79 points, which is second only to "The Incredibles" and "The Incredibles" among the comic hero movies in history. Spider-Man, the third-ranked work, even surpassed the "Batman Prequel Mystery of Shadows..."

There are also high-profile "Kung Fu Panda" and "Indiana Jones 4", which are examples of both box office and word of mouth.

It can only be said that the performance of "The Incredible Hulk" and "Confused Detective" was lower than expected, which made the box office competition in the past two weeks fall into a short ebb, but then a wonderful confrontation is coming. In the last week of June, Eleven Studios' second work with Pixar, "Robot Wall-E," is about to be released. It will compete with James Linkavoy, Angelina-Jolie and Morgan-Freeman. The "Wanted" competition is particularly fierce: Will ... Smith starring "Superman Hancock" will be strong next week: "Hellboy 2, and "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" will be the second week of July The main theme of the series; the third week of July is the focus of everyone, Evan-Bell, Christian...Bell and Christopher-Nolan The trio of "Batman: The Dark Knight" will hit the summer to the greatest extent. files.

The performance of Eleven Studio in this summer season is naturally highly anticipated. No one will forget the wonderful performances of last year's "Ratatouille" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", respectively, this year will be "Robot Wall-E" and " Batman prequel The Dark Knight..." collaboration.

"Robot Wall-E" is the first to debut. This is the second work between Eleven Studio and Pixar. Compared with last year's "Ratatouille", the focus on "Robot Wall-E" has not weakened at all. This is not only a verification of last year's Whether the "match made in heaven" that everyone is talking about is a momentary flash or a long lasting, and this time Evan Bell's name was written in the screenwriter column.

When "Ratatouille" was released last year, Brad Bird said that Evan Bell's contribution to the script was indelible, but because Evan Bell refused to sign, he finally wrote Evan Bell in in the producer column. As a result, "Ratatouille" defeated a lot of competitors on O'Neuska and won the best original script. Evan...Bell regrettably passed by the golden man who was the first best original script from the dagger. .

This time, on the list of screenwriters of "Robot Wall-E", Evan-Bell's name is side by side with Andrew-Stanton and Peter Docter, which is definitely the focus of the media's excitement.

Not to mention "Robot Wall-E" itself, there are two other reasons why people have to pay attention to this movie, Disney and Universal Pictures.

It's not like fried rice, but it's the truth.

Disney and Eleven Studios have shown signs of warming recently, but the failure of the local release of "The Chronicles of Narnia Z Prince Caspian" has once again left Disney collectively dumbfounded. "The Chronicles of Narnia" is a franchise Disney has high hopes for, and they hope to create a second "Harry Potter" franchise to rival Warner Bros. At the beginning, the first box office performance of the series could only be described as "good". The local performance was mediocre and the overseas performance was brilliant, which made the sequel born smoothly. And this time, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2, once again continued the cups of the first film, with an investment of 225 million, and the cumulative box office of the current six-week release is only 130 million. It seems that Disney We must rely on the performance of overseas markets. It is almost an impossible task for the North American market to break through the threshold of 200 million.

Under such circumstances, the release of "Robot Wall-E" inevitably caused Disney's sadness again. Although Robert-Iger has now completely looked forward and put all his hopes on Lighting Entertainment, and Pixar has become a thing of the past, the media will not give up the opportunity to poke a sore foot. For the media, as long as there is news, even the grievances from ten years ago can be hyped up, not to mention that "Robot Wall-E" is only the second work of Eleven Studio and Pixar.

As for Universal Pictures, it is difficult to find a suitable word to describe the relationship between it and Eleven Studios, except for the enemy's narrow road. Although Lang-Mayer broke the four-year stalemate and extended an olive branch to Evan-Bell, it is still impractical for the relationship between Universal Pictures and Eleven Studios to have substantial progress in the short term. This time, "Wanted" and "Robot Wall-E" released by Universal Pictures actually chose to premiere on the same day, which is definitely a big revelation.

"Wanted Order" is definitely a high-profile work this summer... Although it is not as good as "Iron Man" and "Batman Prequel The Dark Knight..." But no one will underestimate Angelina Jolie's No. . This work, which cost 75 million, invited James Linkavoy, who was a first-line actor last year because of "Becoming Jane Austen" and "Atonement", to partner with Angelina Jolie. Inviting the veteran actor Morgan-Freeman to accompany the show is definitely a big deal.

Now, "Wanted Order" and "Robot Wall-E" Wang Mian have launched a confrontation, and Universal Pictures and Eleven Studios have a head-to-head confrontation again, and no one wants to miss it. Of course, the only thing worth noting is that "Wanted Order" is an action movie, while "Robot Wall-E" is a family-friendly cartoon, so the audiences of the two are different. It is estimated that this is also Universal Pictures' willingness to cooperate with Eleven. The root cause of the studio's head-to-head confrontation.

After all, in the case of different audience groups, "Robot Wall-E" does not have the "Iron Man" in terms of subject matter, so sweeping and dominating the momentum, so the North American box office market is still competitive.

The story of "Robot Wall-E" takes place in the year of dare B. Due to the endless destruction of the environment by humans, the earth has become a big garbage floating in space. Humans have to migrate to the spaceship and wait for the garbage cleaning robot to clean up the garbage. , back to earth and the protagonist of the story is the only garbage robot left on earth.

Compared with the subject matter of cartoons, such a story is still a little serious, but it also continues the consistent style of Pixar: cartoons are not necessarily only for children to watch, all groups can watch, and the connotation of cartoons is absolutely not inferior in any live-action movie. This is also the reason why Pixar films have never seen a work like "Shrek" that has exceeded the billion threshold at the global box office, because the depth of the work also limits the further spread of the work. From this perspective, in fact, the styles of Pixar and Eleven Studios are in the same line.

In this case, the duel between "Robot Wall-E" and "Wanted Order", although people are generally optimistic about the golden signs of Eleven Studio and Pixar, it is still unknown who will die.

Therefore, as the second contestant of the Eleventh Studio ZG year, the discussion caused by "Robot Wall-E" when it was released even surpassed last year's "Ratatouille", which was unexpected.

On Friday, June 27th, "Robot Wall-E" was released in 600 theaters across the United States. Strength is the largest work ever released. It seems that Eleven Studio is full of unlimited confidence in the work of "Robot Wall-E", or full of confidence in Evan Bell and Pixar!
