Chapter 565： Captain America's influence

Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Ryan, who was blocked by many female Captain America at the entrance of the theater, took the posters, autographs, etc., and drew his names on them. Although these girls are fanatical, they maintain the most basic order. , Otherwise he can only return to the theater.

The black Rolls-Royce finally stopped at the entrance of the theater. Ryan waved to the girls, pulled Nicole, who was also busy with autographs, and got into the car.

The speed of the car was like a tortoise, and it didn't leave the street until half an hour later.

"It feels like the movie is not as good as imagined."

Nicole hadn’t seen the trial screening, and after getting in the car, she couldn’t help feeling that the film was a little bit different from what she expected. "The retro style is very good, but you turned into a transformation... Well, after Captain America turned into a transformation, the quality of the movie dropped by a notch. ."

Regarding Nicole’s words, Ryan also agrees that although compared with the previous life, the details and plot handling are better, but this movie is essentially to restore the comics, explain the origin of Captain America, and the description is even more accurate. Focusing on the mental traits of the captain, the hot action scenes are naturally a little worse.

"Don't worry, honey."

Grabbing Nicole's hand, Ryan kissed him, "This is Captain America."

"Actually, I have never worried about the North American market." He stopped Nicole's shoulders and continued, "As long as the film can guarantee the basic quality, the North American box office is not a problem, but how about such an American-style theme movie in the overseas market? It's hard to tell."

Fortunately, there is also an international column in the movie.

"What's this?" Nicole suddenly changed a weird tone. "The movie is starring Ryan Jenkins."

"Hey, your box office appeal is not worse than mine." Ryan held her hand tightly, Nitian was on his body, "We starred in a couple in the movie, and the tabloids are about to start hyping again. "

"Ignore them." Ryan waved his hand casually. If he cared about these things all day, he wouldn't have to work and live normally.

"You look stronger in the movie than you are now." Nicole said, and squeezed his chest. "It feels good, but it's not as exaggerated as it looks in the movie."

"They used some post-production special effects." Ryan made a deliberately bent arm gesture, "Of course, I'm also very strong."

After the premiere, "Captain America" ​​landed in North America across the board. High-density publicity combined with the popularity of Steve Rogers over the years, as well as the appeal of super actors such as Ryan Garnico, attracted a large number of audiences. To the theater.

And there are two equally popular characters in the film, Wolverine and Black Widow, and the interaction between superheroes also played a certain role.

In the next few days, the film will be released in English-speaking areas such as the UK, Ireland, Australia, etc. These are also **** allies of the United States.

After the film premiered, the latest overseas region to appear was Afghanistan, and the coalition forces stationed here became the first overseas audiences.

In addition to movies, a large number of comics have also come to the war. Among them, Captain America’s killing of Bin Laden is undoubtedly the most popular among ordinary soldiers, and the surprise has been authorized by Ryan’s portrait, the new Steve Rogers’s. The image is more like a cartoon version of him.

The Pentagon purchased tens of thousands of such comics from Marvel Comics and shipped them to Afghanistan. Not to mention the US military. Some of them were also spread to the Afghan civilians. They were transferred to terrorists. Perhaps Bin Laden and Al Qaeda saw them. , Will be spit blood out of anger, and then make some fierce reactions.

Film critics will certainly not ignore a film that is released on such a large scale. With the marginalization of the industry, they have been borrowing the trend of big-selling movies to show their existence.

"Ryan Jenkins brought a credible, unpretentious and steady temperament to the role. Captain America is definitely the movie we need most now. Steve Rogers may not be able to save the world, but it can bring us Encourage."

From the "Washington Post" female film critic Ann Hornadi gave the film a high score of eight points.

Claudia Pugh, the film critic of "USA Today", also scored eight points for "Captain America" ​​in her column, and wrote, "Although the film is a bit ridiculous like all superhero movies, most actors also The performance is quite satisfactory, but movies with Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman are still hard to dislike."

"The film fully demonstrates persistence, sincerity, bravery, loyalty and other spiritual beliefs. These are enough to impress the audience." Orland Scott from the "New York Times" also gave the film a sufficiently excellent evaluation.

"This film will satisfy all your fantasies about an action-stimulating blockbuster. It has been surging since the beginning of the film. The action and scene design are better than those of "Black Hawk Down" and "Navalon Cannon"." Kenneth Duran of the Los Angeles Times directly gave the film nine points.

"A masterpiece in a movie adapted from a comic! The style is utterly styled but majestic! The plot refined from history and human nature presents a fine form of agility but no lack of humor, letting go of its comic-style absurdity, it is a one A film that is mature in nature."

— "Chicago Sun" Roger Albert.

This veteran film critic rarely recognized a superhero movie, not only gave it eight points, but also gave it a thumbs up.

Although there are "stupid and mediocre works that make people sleepy" and other comments, this film is so in line with the current needs of the mainstream society, these film critics who want to return to the mainstream will give it to You can imagine what kind of evaluation you will get.

Traditional film critics have given high scores to movies. On the more free network, those "professionals" who rely on the Internet to gain a reputation will not buy it. They rely on imdb, the base camp, to give this The movie showed a score lower than the other.

In the first week after the movie was released, imdb's rating fell below six points.

"The most boring superhero movie in history, I was so tired when I slept!"

"The significance of such a film is just to prove that "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" are definitely not bad enough!"

"The film is so mediocre that it has become a show of Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman!"

"If you can fast forward, I think I can finish it in five minutes. There is no connotation! There is no art!"

This is the mainstream evaluation from imdb. Some of them belong to Rotten Tomatoes. The freshness of Captain America on this website was only more than 50%.

After a period of observation, Ryan's team determined that these two websites did not actually have much value for the commercial development of the film, and the huge navy hired simply withdrew from these two websites.

Their influence on the market is completely negligible, even worse than traditional film critics who are gradually marginalized.

The film was screened in more than 4,100 theaters, a record number, and the box office on Friday was more than 33.7 million U.S. dollars. Although it did not achieve a box office of more than 10,000 in a single library, with the arrival of the weekend and the opening of the Thanksgiving holiday, The number of movie viewers has increased significantly, and the cumulative box office has also risen rapidly.

On Saturday, "Captain America" ​​ushered in the highest peak since its release, with more than 42 million US dollars in the whole day. On Sunday, the situation declined, but it also received more than 34.6 million US dollars.

On the first three days of the week, the film successfully cut more than 111 million US dollars, once again proving the appeal of Captain America among the American public.

In fact, in North America, Steve Rogers has long surpassed the category of comics and superheroes, and is almost like a spiritual totem.

This achievement far exceeded the estimates of Ryan himself and Marvel at the box office of 80 million in the first week, and even most media did not expect that such a retro-style movie would be so popular with American audiences. .

The North American box office market includes the United States and Canada. Compared with the enthusiastic audience in the United States, the response from Canada has been much colder.

The influence of the times and social environment on a film is vividly reflected in "Captain America".

According to a report from the "Washington Post", the George Bush family also watched the film at the White House. At a subsequent press conference, when a reporter asked him what he thought of "Captain America," this man was jokingly called The U.S. president with the lowest IQ in history called out loudly, "I suggest every American citizen to watch this movie!"

Although the plot of the movie is more to show the spirit and beliefs of Steve Rogers, even if it is fighting against a virtual villain like Red Skull, avoiding political entanglements as much as possible, but such a movie, such a movie character , How can we completely get rid of political influence.

Besides, this is also Ryan's intention. If we don't borrow the current social and political environmentCaptain America, it is impossible to achieve such a success.

In terms of the market, the film can be described as leaping forward. Although the market's popularity will inevitably decline after Thanksgiving, the number of theaters in "Captain America" ​​has gradually fallen to more than 3,700, but after seven full days, it still got US$68.7 million, ranking first in the North American box office rankings for two consecutive weeks.

However, compared to North America, "Captain America" ​​has a slightly worse overseas response, which is also normal. The American imprint on Steve Rogers is really too deep.

When the third week came, the North American box office of the film easily passed the 200 million US dollar mark. What followed is bound to be a further decline in the number of theaters and attendance. What height can the final box office number reach? To accumulate by the long screening time.

Compared with the box office, the peripherals will bring higher profits. Not to mention the subsequent TV and disc copyrights of the movie, and the sales of comics that drive it. After the release of "Captain America", the iconic shield has become The first choice for many teenagers when they are having fun.

The impact of such a film is in all aspects. For Ryan, there are both positive and negative, but the negative effect is beyond everyone's expectations. rs()
