Chapter 240: The Era of Billions is Coming Early

(Today's seventh update, please subscribe and reward!)

Friday, May 10th, the first day of official release.

On this day, three new movies were released at the same time. After this Friday night, the movie with the most browsing and rated imdb website was "Fast and Furious", with more than 800,000 users participating in the rating, which is simply a crazy score for a pure commercial action movie.

Previous works with high scores on IMDB are all excellent works that can inspire and cleanse the soul. However, "Fast and Furious" has no great connotation, so it was the banner of "Chen Tiandu's pure commercial film" from the beginning, which means that it is just to make the box office rather than win awards, and it is simply made simple and concise.

But the score on the first day of release is even higher than that of classic movies such as "Forrest Gump", "City Light" and "Modern Times". It's incredible.

The Los Angeles Times really supported the show, with a huge title occupying half of the entertainment page. "I haven't watched "Fast and Furious", so don't say you've watched action movies in the future!" They gave all A+ results for the movie.

The New York Times takes the large photos of the previous episode of the premiere and the car as the homepage of the entertainment edition. "The calm Christmas Chen outside is actually a crazy guy in his heart. This is the most exciting visual feast since the opening of this summer. There are hundreds of cars crashed or blown away, from trucks to trains to tanks to planes, and they do everything they can. They challenge the audience's visual nerves throughout the whole process. The tension and stimulation make adrenaline soar. "Fast and Furious" adds heat to the hot summer. The earth can no longer stop Christmas Chen's madness. But this movie is only the first movie in the series. We can't help but sweat for the subsequent movies. The first movie was so popular, how should we shoot in the future?"

The Chicago Tribune has been a little unfavorable to the matrix before, but this time it also gave all A results. The report said: "The action scenes are disaster-level, with a refreshing plot and full of passion. There is no point in the whole film, and there is a lot of fun everywhere. "Fast and Furious" brings the first super cool and fast journey this summer."

In addition to the enthusiastic response on imdb, the Rotten Tomato website is also explosive.

The audience liked it up to 98%, and the words "too crazy", "break through the sky", "the best this year" were all full of words; in the comments of the critics, Rotten Tomatoes included 160 reviews, 145 of which were fresh, and only 15 of them said "the noise is too heavy, I don't know what to say", but these 15 reviewers were immediately slaughtered by netizens. They were all compliments to Universal or Warner, and they were clearly a guy who made others say something against their will. After being exposed, the page under the column was suddenly filled with curses. Fans who were excited to whip the corpse alive when they died. It was really terrible.

This movie had a very wide publicity and popularity before it was released. Now, once it was released, it has a huge reputation.

When countless movie fans saw this level of reputation, they immediately thought of the craze when "The Matrix" was released, which was as imaginable as it was at this moment. Could it be another classic like "The Matrix", but the slogans they put forward were clearly said to be pure commercial films. What is the point of commercial films? They are nothing more than violence, explosions and beauty, and what can they see? But they can't help but keep discussing the topics around them, which eventually attracted more and more fans and went to the cinema to watch.

The extremely popular and crazy action scenes in the film have also received unanimous praise from the audience. Many viewers watched it once but were not enough, so they re-watched it again. The Matrix official website is even more lively, and there are too many fans discussing the movie.

The Matrix also hit a subtitle and applied the Los Angeles Times comment: "If you haven't watched "Fast and Furious", don't say you've watched an action movie!"

As soon as the movie was released, it quickly became a hot topic on the Internet and in life on weekends. Audiences shared their movie viewing experience on various social media. "Fast and Passion" has become a popular element this summer.

"The plot is tight, the scene is hot, the lines are humorous, everything is almost perfect!" There are comments like this everywhere.

The first day has passed and the time is about to test the results.

When the data reached Chen Tiandu's hands, he looked down and left it, and then breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction. The box office of the first day of the painting was 32.5 million US dollars. Once this number was announced, it immediately caused noisy discussions, and it was basically possible to announce in advance that "Mummy 2" would withdraw from the weekly box office championship throne in advance.

Because the cumulative box office of "Mummy 2" on the weekend of three days is probably not as much as the box office as the first day of "Fast and Furious".

As a purely commercial action blockbuster, the factor that fans and viewers consider whether to watch is more about the audience's preference, rather than the connotation and significance of the critically rated critics. Moreover, the famous reviews of "Fast and Furious" are not low.

Saturday is coming, followed by Sunday. This is the first weekend of "Speed", and countless audiences who want to watch movies flock to the cinema.

This is Chen Tiandu’s only movie that is not R-level. Children can go to the cinema to watch movies, and invisibly attract the group of fans who have been missing before. You should know that children are very important box office guarantees. They often drive the whole family to watch together, so Hollywood cartoons often have a good box office result.

Nowadays, almost eight of the ten viewers who entered the theater will say to the ticket seller: "Give me the tickets for "Fast and Furiousness." Only 20% of them are shared by "Mummy 2" and other films.

The news that Stallone quietly went to the cinema to watch "Fast and Furious" was caught by fans and refused to admit it was also exposed. What is difficult to admit? Chen Tian openly claimed that he had watched "Fast and Death" in the cinema himself.

I don’t know which media outlet was the first to reveal the news, saying that Stallone claimed, “Although I still don’t like the director of the movie, I undoubtedly like this movie.” Seeing this report, fans on Matrix.com were immediately lively. This is Stallone’s surrender and admitted that he could not compare to “Fast and Furious”. “Fast and Death” lost a lot in both box office and reputation. Then the next one is “Need for Speed”.

Chen Tian was not the one who killed everyone. When an interview happened to be interviewed, he responded casually, "I think "The Speed ​​of Life and Death" is still great. It is very encouraging as an inspirational story. I plan to take time to watch it again."

It doesn’t matter who you please, it’s just one more friend than one less enemy, and there is no need to think too much.

Global is also sweating coldly, and such a craze has also doubled the pressure on the distribution department, but at this time it can no longer be avoided. If you retreat, it is obvious that you are not as good as admitting that you will go to the cinema to watch movies.

In the midst of lively, the weekend from May 10th to 12th is in the hot summer, and the enthusiasm is boiling and gradually passing...

The topic has been formed many times before the screening, and after the release, it brought a reputation frenzy, a discussion trend, and a movie viewing storm. Finally, today it came up with an jaw-dropping box office data:

"Fast and Furious" topped the list without any suspense and won the weekend championship this week with an absolute advantage. It was released in 3,124 theaters in North America. It won $32.5 million in one day on Friday and more than $52 million on Saturday. It took only two days to set a premiere box office record, and another $39 million on Sunday, and a fury of $123.5 million in three days.

It successfully broke the first week box office record of $72 million in "Jurassic Park 2 Lost World" in 1997. Last week, "Mummy 2" just broke the 1999 box office record of 64.8 million set by George Lucas in "Star Wars Prequel". This week, it was kicked to the corner by "Fast and Furious".

Moreover, the box office of 32.5 million on Friday also defeated the $22.6 million set by Toy Story 2, and the box office of 2, Saturday on a single day defeated the record of "Mummy 2". Hollywood statistics are simply too detailed. In short, as soon as this box office data appeared, it immediately broke n box office records.

"Mummy 2" was significantly affected this weekend, and it only received a box office of $31.04 million, which is not as good as the three-day box office of "Speed". The third place is "The Legend of the Cavaliers", which was produced by Columbia and starred by Hollywood newcomer Heath Ledger, and is set in the middle of Europe. In the past three days, it has won the third place with $17 million.

An interesting number, "Speed"'s box office this weekend was twice the total of all the top 12 movies, accounting for 75%, which is simply crazy. Crazy movies, crazy box office!

The era of weekend box office exceeding 100 million has actually appeared since here!

The cake of the blockbuster market was captured by "Fast and Furious", and its strength immediately made everyone who suspected it shut up. The box office review list described the champion this weekend as: "Christmas Chen's pure box office bomb, all the audience was sucking, and the entire action blockbuster movie was afraid of trembling!"

Many media have begun to analyze why "Fast and Furious" has achieved such a good box office. The first factor is naturally attributed to the Internet virus marketing that has too obvious effect. This is obvious to all. They are too crazy. Even the director himself is making fun of himself, and you can't accept it. The second is to ask for a popular trailer, and when they released the trailer, they had already started a fight with the two movie giants, so that they attracted too much attention when the trailer was released. Then the other two movies were a bit too low, which made the trailer of "Fast" instantly leave a deep impression on the hearts of movie fans.

The third factor is naturally the powerful action creativity of the movie, and some blockbuster structures that are beyond the times. No wonder the matrix's CEO Peck said in an interview: Even if you watch it in 15 years, this movie will still produce such a box office." In fact, this is what Chen Tiandu said at the meeting.

Many people expected that the box office of "Fast and Furious" might be very strong when it was released, but no one expected this result. Chen Tian brought the matrix company, like a crazy lion rushing into the flock of sheep, tearing apart two new films, and stomping down "Mummy 2" to death. Now everyone's focus is no longer this week, but whether the animated blockbuster "Monster Shrek" launched by DreamWorks Animation Studio next week can kill them and win the box office championship next weekend.

"Monster Shrek" comes from DreamWorks animation with excellent reputation, and the quality is naturally not mentioned. It was praised in a small-scale trial earlier. Moreover, the whole family enjoys movies, which will always have very high box office potential in the United States. Maybe they can really do it.

This week, all the starring actors of "Fast and Furious" have become American celebrities. The talk show notices that have been delayed and postponed have been told that they can be in advance, and more notices have been spontaneously invited. Their teams run the notice and must take advantage of the opportunity to win more territory and fight for the next weekend.
Chapter completed!
