On the Internet, fans of "Dark City" and fans of "Shawshank Redemption" have already started a rating war without gunpowder. Both sides use MDB as their position and frequently appear in each other's areas. They use the one-star score in their hands as weapons to continuously launch attacks, calling friends to each other, confronting each other without giving in.

Although "Shawshank Redemption" failed miserably at the box office when it was released, and countless sympathy for Oscar's defeat later, the box office was still mediocre after being released again. However, since it was praised by media and movie fans in the middle and late last century and became the masterpiece of MDB, after more than ten years of online and TV broadcasts, as well as videotapes and DVD rentals, it has accumulated a large number of fans, and even formed many movie fans organizations like Christian Franklin.

Organized combat is much more powerful than straitor-style attacks!

Compared with "Shawshank Redemption", "Dark City" is not inferior. It is headed by Daisy's MDB discussion group, plus the Murphy Stanton Fan Association in many cities such as New York and Los Angeles, as well as the professional black fan organizations under Murphy, all of which were devoted to the battle group.

In the past decade, it was the period of Murphy's rapid rise. His fans were far younger than those of "The Shawshank Redemption", and the appeal established with more than a dozen films has made the supporters wider.

In short, fans of "Shawshank Redemption" gave low scores for "Dark City", while Murphy and fans of "Dark City" were also giving low scores for "Shawshank Redemption".

However, except for the Black Fan Organization and Twentieth Century Fox preparing to hype, Murphy, Caa and Twentieth Century Fox did not place their strength too much on this, especially the more professional promotion team, which did not directly participate in the war.

With the current momentum of "Dark City", this little entanglement can not be held back. Twentieth Century Fox is more about creating topics instead of directly participating. These disputes come from movie fans, it is enough to have Murphy's fans join the war.

Because they are not stupid at all, perhaps outsiders can't detect it, but Twentieth Century Fox has its own quantitative assessment and knows that Murphy's hardcore movie fans far exceeds those of "The Shawshank Redemption" and the organization is more stringent. Such an online rating war will inevitably win or lose.

This MDB score battle between "Dark City" and "Shawshank Redemption" is becoming more and more intense.

The mutual harm between the two films is inevitable. In just three days, even though many fans were getting high scores for "Dark City", its mdb score still dropped to 9.5 points.

Of course, "Shawshank Redemption" dropped faster than "Dark City". In the same three days, the mdb score of this film dropped 0.2 points, from 9.2 points to 9.0 points!

"Shawshank Redemption" not only dropped two scores in "Dark City", but also lost the second place in the ranking of 250 films, surpassed by "The Godfather" and changed from second to third place.

As the mdb scores of the two films "Shawshank Redemption" and "Dark City" are declining, their fanatical fans deliberately voted for their opponents to the top. By Thursday, the 1-point vote for "Shawshank Redemption" quickly rose to nearly 7%, and "Dark City" was not much better. The 1-point vote rate reached nearly 4%, but it reached ten-tenths of ten votes, ensuring that the film steadily ranked first in the top 250 with 9.5 points.

Many times, fans' behavior is spontaneous and fanatical. The fans of the two films not only scored low points, but also started attacking in their respective comment sections, and even rose to the level of abuse.

For example, the movie fans of "Shawshank's Redemption" angrily claimed that the movie fans of "Dark City" are a group of brainless deceased people who can't tell the difference between good and evil and evil!

After all, this is a rating war based on the Internet and the number of users participating in the war determines the outcome. In this regard, Murphy, who became famous in the Internet era, is too much more than the number of nostalgic fans in "The Shawshank Redemption". Moreover, the Internet has always been an active position for young people. Although Murphy's fans are relatively older, the average age is much smaller than "The Shawshank Redemption". Even if there are many fanatical fans in "The Shawshank Redemption" and they are still unable to compete with the younger generation on the Internet.

In the following days, the mdb section of "Shawshank Redemption" was almost captured by the tide of Murphy's fans, and the rating dropped from 9.0 to 8.8, directly falling out of the top five in the top 250 rankings!

At the same time, with the call of major movie fan organizations and the efforts of many movie fans, "Dark City" stabilized after it dropped to 9.4 points.

On the one hand, this is the effort of Murphy movie fans to get high scores. On the other hand, MDB's effective score has certain access rules. After consuming a large number of effective old users in the early stage, the fan group of "Shawshank's Redemption" was seriously insufficient and began to experience unsustainable situations.

Watching "Shawshank Redemption" drop from second to fifth place, a group of people led by Christian Franklin were certainly unwilling to accept it.

As a result, fans of "Shawshank Redemption" chose to expand the war area. Some people pretended to be Murphy and "Dark City" fans and began to attack other films in the top 250 top five, such as "The Godfather", "The Twelve Angry Man" and "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" became their targets.

In less than half a day, a large number of 1-point votes appeared in the ratings of these videos.

Then, more fans joined in. While the fans of "Dark City" attacked "Shawshank Redemption", they also went to other film areas to perform low scores for fans who pretended to be "Shawshank Redemption". Fans of other films were not subdivided, and they all scored low scores for "Shawshank Redemption" and "Dark City".

Although mdb was often present, the order was quite good. The behavior of movie fans this time undoubtedly seriously damaged the order of mdb. Especially on the Internet, people have worse self-control, and leaving messages, attacks and insults to each other is a common occurrence.

These fights even spread to many film and television forums and social networking sites. Even Murphy's official Twitter and Facebook account were not spared, and a large number of attacks and insults appeared in his message column.

When things got to this point, they naturally attracted media attention.

"In the previous mdb rankings, especially before "Dark City" was released, "Shawshank Redemption" was the first, "The Godfather" was the second, and "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" was the third."

"Until one day, Murphy Stanton made a brilliant debut with "Dark City", like a bright meteor passing through the sky, breaking the originally quiet night sky. Countless sleeping fans opened their eyes and turned their eyes to the sky, and the gears of fate began to operate from this."

"For many movie fans in Hollywood and North America, Murphy Stanton was originally a god shining with black light. "The City of Darkness" is like a new god created by the Lord God, attracting many believers and absorbing a lot of faith. Fanatic believers vow to push their god to the top of the world."

"In order to defeat the arrogant "Shawshank Redemption", they kept giving "Dark City" 10 points in the rating column of the mdb website and 1 point for "Shawshank Redemption". Fans of "Shawshank Redemption" are also doing the same move..."

The reports on the Los Angeles Times and the Hollywood Reporter undoubtedly expanded this Internet-based score-making war to the level of traditional media.

Some tabloids are even more afraid that the world will not be in chaos, so they began to use this incident. Fans who hyped Murphy and fans of "Shawshank's Redemption" went directly to the streets, saying that fans in Los Angeles escalated from Internet verbal wars to real society in order to win points and maintain their respective support videos.

The tabloids are not completely distorting the facts. At an event in the North Hollywood area, several fans did take action because of the dispute between "Dark City" and "Shawshank Redemption", but it was just a simple physical conflict, and it was by no means as serious as they said.

News like this has been hyped by the tabloids and spreading around the Internet. It is irrelevant to the Shawshank Redemption, which has been released for more than ten years, but the "Dark City" which is being screened in the theater has more attractive gimmicks.

Many movie lovers who didn't care about the film "Dark City" before, after seeing related news or reports, a considerable number of people will be curious. How much NB in ​​"Dark City" will cause such a big storm?

Curiosity often evolves into motivation, and many curious people have become the new consumer group of "Dark City" this weekend.

Therefore, on the fourth weekend of its release in North America, the box office of "Dark City" fell less than 50% over the weekend, and it received another $38.3 million, surpassing the "Shocking Demons" which started with $24 million, achieving four consecutive championships in the North American box office list!

With the large US dollar bills earned in the previous four working days, the North American box office of "Dark City" has a total of 632.1 million US dollars, surpassing the 623.35 million US dollars of "Avengers" and jumped to the third place in the North American box office list!

At the same time, the film continues to be popular overseas, and the screenings have expanded to 124 countries and regions, with a global box office of 1.762.87 million US dollars!
