"From now on, people around the world will be divided into two types...one is someone who has watched "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition", and the other is someone who is about to watch "The Rings: The Rings Expedition".

The praise from the latest issue of The New York Times has become the best footnote to the movie viewing trend triggered by "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" in North America.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition, this fantasy epic came out of nowhere with unprecedented momentum, transcending the limitations of race, language and age, and attracting every imaginative audience in the United States."

Even the Washington Post, which has always been very unfavorable to Duke, praised the film.

"There is a movie that is creating miracles called "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition", and there is a group of people who can trigger the eye whenever they go anywhere. "The Rings Expedition!"

Since the release of the film, the Los Angeles Times has not been stingy with praise.

These are the boosters for the film to attract audiences. In the following days, Duke led the entire crew to carry out announcements in North America. From the time "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" won 200 more premieres theaters, his online navy stopped attacking "Pearl Harbor" and diverted all his energy to building momentum for his own films.

Similarly, some protests about the film have gradually come to an end.

On Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles, Krish looked listlessly at the sparse people behind him, and was too lazy to hold up the signs in his hand. With such a small number of people, even if he raised the slogans of protest, how many people could he attract attention?

After Brad Miller withdrew, the number of protest groups he led continued to shrink, and because of curiosity, there were many people who went to the theater to watch movies. More than 99% of those who had watched the movies withdrew from protests. In less than a week, the people behind him had drastically reduced from more than 500 people to less than 40 now.

"Boss, do we still have to protest?"

The black boy came over, looked at the listless protest group members behind him, and bared his teeth. He said, "Now people's hearts are dispersed..."

Krish didn't speak, and he was leading a spontaneous protest.

Although it was not yet the hot summer season, the sunshine in Los Angeles was so vicious that the black boy covered his head with newspapers, but he still couldn't stop the sweat dripping from the size of beans.

Thinking of the video I secretly watched last night, how magnificent it was, so exciting that he just wanted to say a few words, ", and then look at the treatment that is roasted under the scorching sun. Is it worth it?

Is it worth raising such unnecessary protests for such a wonderful movie?

The black boy's head is indeed simple, but it does not mean that he can't think.

"Boss..." He put down the newspaper covering his head and said to Krish, "I'll stop doing it!"

Hearing this, Krish cast an incredible look, "Why?"

"Why do we protest?" The black boy's mind was straightforward. "Because we like the Lord of the Rings! We are worried about random adaptations of the movie! But Duke Rosenberg's movie is obviously very good, even better than the novel. Why do we protest?"

His voice was a little high, attracting the attention of the few remaining protesters.

"You actually went to watch that movie!" Krish felt deeply betrayed.

"I'm going to see it!" The black boy did not deny it, "and I've watched it twice in a row, and I'm going to see it for the third time tonight!"

He turned to look at all the protesters, "Sorry, everyone. I'm going to quit!"

After saying that, he left Nokia Plaza without looking back.

Looking at the black boy's back as he left, there were a lot of discussion among the few protesters left.

“We are getting fewer and fewer people.”

"I think what he said makes sense, and there is no need for our protest to continue."

"You've gone to the movie, too?"

"I advise everyone to go and watch it. If the movie really fails, let's continue to protest..."

Just as a matter of discussion, many people gave up the signs and banners that protested in their hands, greeted Krish casually, and left the group.

By sunset, only three people remained behind Krish.

After sending the three people away, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, drank half of it in one breath, looked around carefully, and then walked towards the amg cinema on the left. After entering the cinema, he got his ticket at the reservation desk. Seeing that it was still early, he put on a baseball cap that had been prepared long ago and hid in the corner of the hall.

Sitting boredly on a rest chair, Krish took out the movie ticket he just received and took a look, which read "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition"!

He pulled the brim down again and murmured to himself, "Even if God comes, I can't stop me from watching "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" for the fourth time!"

To be precise, the audience of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" is not as wide as that of "Titanic" after it burst out with all its energy, but there are many people like Krish who have different feelings and watch it repeatedly.

This also caused the box office decline of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" did not drop particularly significantly even on weekdays.

May has reached its last few days. "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" ushered in its first working day after its release on Tuesday. Compared with the $24.26 million on Monday's Memorial Day, it only earned $14.55 million, but the decline was only 40%. It is definitely a super stable trend for summer films.

All the films screened in the same period, even the same stable trend of "Shrek", cannot be compared with "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition".

On this day, "Monster Shrek" received $3.93 million, "Return of the Mummy" received $2.05 million, and "Pearl Harbor" received $2.15 million...

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" is completely the only one.

On Wednesday, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" fell slightly again, winning $13.52 million in a single day. However, it rose slightly on Thursday, and the single-day box office returned to more than $14 million, winning $14.09 million!

So far, the film was released in North America for one week and the box office accumulated $150.99 million!

This also set a record, the highest box office film in North American film history!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition has broken all the records that can be broken. Duke Rosenberg's new film once again proves that he is worthy of the title of King of the Summer Times!"

Of course, Warner Bros. will not miss the opportunity to create momentum, and its various media will continue to hype the videos.

"Film fans have given praise from "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition Team". On the famous fan rating website IDB, the video's rating has always been at 9.4 points, and the audience's reputation is very popular!"

On Thursday, Warner Bros. launched such a fierce publicity offensive. "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" will usher in a huge investment opponent's impact on the second weekend. "The Tomb Raider" is released by Paramount Pictures, directed by Simon West, starring Angelina Jolie, and produced at a cost of up to $115 million.

This is the most invested game adaptation of live-action movie ever.

"Nancy and I went to see the preview of Paramount."

Sitting in the suite at the Chicago Metropolitan Holiday Inn, Duke was watching the TV crew recorded on Monday while chatting with Tina Fee, who was flipping through computer emails. "A very impressive video."

Tina Fei couldn't help but turn her head curiously at Duke. There are very few videos that can impress him after so many years.

"The video is wonderful?" she asked.

Duke shook his head, "All the storylines and action scenes combined together are not as attractive as Angelina Jolie."

Open Google, Tina Fei entered the name Lara Crawford in the search bar, and gently tapped Enter. A hot girl wearing a tight body shirt immediately appeared on the monitor.

A woman's gossip is endless. Tina Fei suddenly thought of something about this actress and couldn't help asking, "It is said that Julie and her brother have an inappropriate love, is it true?"

This news has been widely circulated in the circle, and Duke has also heard of it, so I don’t know whether it is true or not.

"Tina..." he suggested directly, "If you have the chance, you can ask Angelina Jolie directly."

Although I don't remember the specific box office trend of Tomb Raider, Duke is clear that even if it is the most successful game movie ever, it still cannot be sold out, and game movies have never been mainstream in the market.

When Duke led the crew away from Illinois to Pittsburgh on Friday morning, the numbers in the box office news they received were somewhat unexpected.

Thanks to the promotion of a large number of game fans and female Indian Jones, the box office of Tomb Raider completely surpassed the media's estimated $12 million, and among the 3,308 theaters in North America, it received $18.06 million on the first day.

However, in front of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition", it is still not enough to watch. With the arrival of the weekend, the box office of this magic blockbuster rebounded strongly and returned to the ranks of 20 million US dollars on Friday, winning 20.97 million US dollars in one fell swoop!

This is an unusual weekend and an extremely rare weekend in the past summer season when the market has maintained a strong running. Although "Return of the Mummy" and "Pearl Harbor" continue to be down, "Shrek Monster" that came to the third week also maintained a strong weekend box office trend.

Also on Friday, DreamWorks Animation Studios' masterpiece won $12.65 million!

These three films fought fiercely this weekend.

For "The Lord of the Rings: Rings Expedition", "Tomb Raider" is completely different from "The Monster Shrek". The latter has obvious differences in audiences, and the former's magical adventure determines partial overlap of the audience.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition" and "The Tomb Raider" inevitably have a competitive relationship.

In the fierce summer market, as long as competition is formed, no one needs to mobilize, a series of targeted operations will be carried out. (To be continued...)
