""The Avengers" is in full bloom, and the box office at Midnight ranks second in movie history!"

On Friday morning, almost all major entertainment media with relevant statistics posted similar news on the front page. Novel し

"In the early hours of the morning, Duke Rosenberg’s super masterpiece "The Avengers" officially landed on the North American theaters. Its midnight show burst at $33.8 million, successfully surpassing "The Dark Knight" to become a new superhero movie. And Duke Rosenberg’s film’s midnight box office record king."

"Although this data is not small compared to last year's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2 the terrifying US$43.5 million in total box office at midnight, the heroes of Marvel have proved the charm of gathering and fighting monsters. The value, especially the excellent word-of-mouth effect of "Avengers" and the huge enthusiasm of movie fans, makes box office analysts optimistic about its subsequent market performance..."

Just as the media said, the North American film market, which is dominated by teenagers, burst out with terrifying enthusiasm on Friday.

Los Angeles, the three chain theaters located in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, welcomed dozens of customers from the first time they opened in the morning. After fifteen minutes, the number of people in each theater directly increased fivefold.

By noon, the three chain theaters of AMG, Emperor Entertainment and Artists in the square were already full of people. Every corner of the hall was crowded with people. Each theater had to be busy with ticket sales and screenings. Some people were deployed to maintain order at the scene, because many people who could not buy tickets complained.

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

"I don't care what you tell the publisher!"

In an office of the Emperor Cinemas, the theater manager is yelling at the filming supervisor, "In addition to maintaining 15% of the film schedule for "The Hunger Games", and one theater taking turns showing other films, I want all screens to show " The Avengers"!"

The enthusiasm belonging to the Avengers came naturally. A long line had long been lined up on Times Square in New York, and these people had only one purpose. Waiting to watch "The Avengers"!

This victory immediately drew the attention of the media and the nb TV OB van and reporters rushed over long ago to keep interviewing fans in line.

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

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

"I am a fan of Iron Man!"

"I love Thor and Loki the most!"

"I like Black Widow. I like Scarlett? Johnson!"

"I am not a fan of any superhero. I watched this film because I like Duke Rosenberg's film!"

Even if it was Friday, "Avengers" also detonated a nationwide viewing boom, starting in the afternoon. The attendance rate of theaters showing "Avengers" basically exceeds 60%. Theaters in popular locations such as Santa Monica Plaza and Times Square in New York are too full to describe the number of fans gathered.

"The Avengers" triggered such an upsurge, which is in line with the expectations of Duke, Warner Bros. and Marvel Pictures.

First of all, the scale of the film’s publicity preparations can be described as huge, starting from Duke directed "Iron Man" to "Captain America", "Hulk", "Iron Man 2" and "Thor", just a few years Over time, there have been movies about the Avengers being staged, which undoubtedly has accumulated extremely high popularity for the current collective dispatch. The easter eggs after each movie directly paved the way for this masterpiece. The snowball is getting bigger and bigger and the business is doing more. Duke and Marvel have pushed the super hero movie into a virtuous circle.

Secondly, it is very rare for so many super heroes to gather together. As a representative of American pop culture, it is difficult for movie audiences with young audiences as the main body to avoid star worship. There are movie derivatives all over the streets and related forum websites The topic can be seen.

Thirdly, the quality of the film is definitely the best choice. It has accumulated a good reputation through pre-marketing before it is released, and the audience who have seen it after the release have also given praise. What's more, the visual effects of the film are shocking, and it is worth going into the movie theater. The 3d version has also accelerated the box office boom.

Finally, the movie atmosphere is relaxed and humorous. The heroes who seemed to be superior in the past have gained human affinity. This kind of character that breaks the established impression is easier to gain a good impression, and is suitable for all ages.

Of course, the most important factor for "Avengers" to be so popular is marketing and... This is a relaxed and refreshing popcorn movie!

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

This is also a movie that assembles Hollywood's usual tactics: stunning fights, intensive cold jokes, gatherings of handsome men and beautiful women, and promoting justice and friendship.

Unfortunately, this kind of routine has succeeded again.

Although some people complained that the villain was too weak and the heroes did not perform enough, the "Avengers" was enough to make the audience scream and laugh in the cinema while happily unlocking their pockets.

This is the biggest factor in the success of "The Avengers". If it is not pretentious or profound, the experience of watching the movie is just a cool word!

On the instant sharing website, the fastest and most forwarded message on Friday came from "The Avengers". A very ordinary viewer wrote a sentence after watching the film. "The Avengers" came out, and again this summer No movies to watch!

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

However, no matter how abused they are, it will not change the fact that "The Avengers" will inevitably succeed and gain an unparalleled reputation.

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

But is this the case? In Hollywood, almost everyone agrees that the difficulty of shooting large-scale commercial films is far more difficult than that of ** films!

Rome was not built in a day, and "The Avengers" is not just a bunch of superheroes that will succeed. It seems that no-nutrient popcorn movies can be made by everyone, and it requires continuous innovation and improvement. of.

When the audience is tired of the heroes fighting alone, they consider uniting the heroes; after the uniting is successful. Then create your own series for each hero. Only by constantly researching the market is the foundation for maintaining the industry's continuous contribution to high-yield products, and the foundation for the film industry to maintain its status and development!

With the expansion of the scope of film screening. There were also some disagreements, even cynicism.

"Film rhythms are divided into many types, with visual rhythms and emotional rhythms. For movies, emotional rhythms are necessary conditions. Visual rhythms are irrelevant conditions. Visual rhythm movies without emotional rhythms are really lethargic. , They are fighting in full swing, the audience is like watching a few runny children fighting for a piece of bubble gum, it is unbelievable that they still pretend to be interested in waving the flag, this is simply too funny."

It's impossible for everyone to like this kind of superhero movie, especially those who think they are full of artistic vision. The movie itself is not made for these people.

"No one forces you to buy a ticket to watch a superhero movie. If you want to watch a slow-paced movie that promotes the development of the film story with emotion, you can go to the art theater. Why bother to watch a commercial movie and find yourself!"

The following reply can be said to be the best response to that kind of movie-going crowd. After all, fools know what Hollywood superhero movies look like, so they have to use a literary mind and deliberately use ' With the eyes of art, I went into the commercial theaters to examine it. It can only be said that these people have a serious tendency to abuse.

Moreover, this is only the opinion of a very limited number of people, and it does not affect the popularity of "Avengers."

The sky was pale by the window, and David Ellison put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. Since ‘Van Diesel’s death in a car accident’, his sleep quality has been extremely poor. The bald head always appeared in his dreams, and he could not sleep normally when disturbed. A few times he was even awakened by nightmares.

But David Ellison has never regretted it. Although Van Diesel’s reputation after his death was vilified, the car accident has aroused widespread attention, which is already very beneficial for "Fast and Furious 5". .

Stepping onto the spacious balcony, David Ellison looked in the direction of Malibu. He has never expected Duke Rosenberg to fail once like he does now!

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

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

David Ellison turned directly to the entertainment version. Yesterday was the time for "Avengers" to fully land in North American theaters. Now the first day of box office should be released.

"Crack!"

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

"A new single-day box office record in North America. The first film in history in North America has a single-day box office exceeding 100 million U.S. dollars. The Avengers created it! $16.66 million!"

This is the headline of the entertainment version, this is a number that will inevitably be remembered in the history of North America and the entire world of cinema!

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

This is not the final box office, not the first week's box office, but just one day's North American box office for "Avengers"!

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

ps: If nothing else, there will be two more movies. The book will be over. I have to go back to my hometown during the New Year. There is no internet there... Tell everyone in advance about the New Year. In addition, give more monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
