901 Battle of New York
"I Am Legend 2: Journey to Jinling" was very impressive with a box office of RMB 1.65 million in its first week, and it was the second highest first-week box office in the mainland this year after "Kung Fu Panda 2".

At the same time, the film's score on Douban also reached a super high rating of 8.6 points, which can be said to be both word-of-mouth and box office.

Qinglian Earth: It's better than expected. Before I filmed Yang Qinghui, it ruined this classic created by Chen Hao.

China Entertainment Reporter: Different from the intense action drama of "I Am Legend", this one pays more attention to the excavation of human nature and emotion, it is considered a classic!

I am 1875: This is the first zombie movie I have seen where the protagonists are not only unslashed, but also unshot, which is unique in the zombie genre.

Fax. : There is no sensory stimulation as imagined, but there is unexpected spiritual shock!
……

Yang Qing, who has gradually disappeared from the public eye after filming "Nightclub", also came to everyone again, becoming another mainland director with [-] million yuan.

Although as the mainland film market has become more and more popular, more and more films have grossed over [-] million yuan, and the title of "[-] million yuan director" is not as valuable as before.

But being able to enter the 2 million yuan club is still commendable, and judging from the box office results in the first week, the final box office of the film may exceed 3 million, or even [-] million.

There is bound to be a large group of capital and film companies looking for Yang Qing again.

Haotian Movies is naturally full of joy. Strictly speaking, this is the first time Haotian Movies has launched a series of movies, not counting Ning Hao's crazy series.

The investment in "I Am Legend 2: Journey to Jinling" is as high as 9000 million. If you want to return the cost, you need at least 2.7 million yuan in the box office. Judging from the box office in the first week, this task should be able to be completed, and some even make money.

Coupled with the good reputation, the third part of the series should be included in the plan.

However, when everyone was looking forward to the box office of "I Am Legend 2: Journey to Jinling" in the second week, they encountered a strong competitor, "Transformers 2"!
The "Transformers" series can be said to be the representative works of Hollywood special effects blockbusters, and the box office in the mainland has always been very popular.

With the foreshadowing of the first two films, coupled with the booming movie market in the mainland, the industry is unanimously optimistic about the box office of "Transformers 3".

The fact is the same, the release of "Transformers 3" directly smashed all box office records in mainland film history!
The first is the box office record of the midnight show (zero point show). The previous record was 500 million yuan created by "Inception" last year, and "Transformers 3" directly raised this record to 1200 million yuan!

Then came the box office on the premiere day. The previous record was 2 million yuan just created by "Kung Fu Panda 5400", and "Transformers 3" raised it to a terrifying 1.023 million yuan!

This is also the first time that the domestic box office has exceeded [-] million in a single day!

Today, when the domestic box office exceeds 3 million, it is considered a big hit, "Transformers [-]" directly brought the mainland into an era where the box office exceeded [-] million in a single day!

Naturally, "Transformers 3" also broke the box office record of "Kung Fu Panda 2" which broke the record of breaking 2 million in [-] days!
And just when the Mainland was amazed that the box office of "Transformers 3" exceeded 2 million on the first day, "Transformers 3" sold another 8780 million on the second day.

What is even more shocking is that on the third day, that is, Saturday, the film raked in RMB 3 million, breaking the single-day box office record in mainland film history again!
On Sunday of the 4th day, "Transformers 3" won another 9890 million RMB!

而在《变形金刚3》上映之前，内地单日票房最高的是《功夫熊猫2》的8079万人民币，现在《变形金刚3》首周4天每天的票房都高于这个纪录！
At the end of the week, "Transformers 3"'s final first-week box office score was 4.01 million yuan, directly climbing to the third place in the 2011 mainland box office list!
It is second only to "Kung Fu Panda 6.1" with 2 million and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4.66: Stormy Tides" with 4 million.

In addition to the records mentioned before, the fastest to break 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, first week and other records, "Transformers 3" can be said to break the box office record of the mainland film history again!
It caused many mainland media to exclaim that the third film in mainland film history with a box office breaking 10 billion is about to be born!

The industry and the general public have little doubt about the media's predictions. After all, the box office is indeed too strong.

The box office results in the first week were almost double the 2.13 million yuan of "Inception", which created the box office record in mainland film history last year!

Although the mainland has developed fast enough within a year, the nearly double box office figure has even led many people to believe that "Transformers 2" is likely to break "Inception"'s 3 billion yuan box office record in mainland film history!
Of course, many people have refuted this argument, because there will be films such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "The Smurfs", and "Overheard 2".

Moreover, it is impossible for "Transformers 3" to get the postponement key. It is not so easy to break the box office record of "Inception".

受到《变形金刚3》的影响，进入第2周的《我是传奇2：金陵行》的票房跌幅超过了40%，次周报收9250万人民币。

The two-week cumulative box office of "I Am Legend 2: Journey to Jinling" is 2.575 million RMB!

With this box office performance, the film has already returned its cost, and it will be profitable in the future.

The word-of-mouth of the film is good, but "Transformers 3" is too strong, and the box office is expected to be between 3.5 million and 4 million yuan!

……

At the same time, on July 2011, 7, produced by Liangtianchi Films, the fifth film "Captain America" ​​in the first phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe officially landed in major theaters in North America.

North American weekend box office list (2011.7.22-2011.7.24):
No. 1, "Captain America", with a weekend box office of 6582 million US dollars, Tianchi Films, with a cumulative box office of 6582 million US dollars, 3715 theaters, and an investment cost of 14000 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", with a weekend box office of 4807 million US dollars, Warner Bros., a cumulative box office of 27418 million US dollars, 4375 theaters, a decrease of 71.6% compared with last week, and an investment cost of 12500 million US dollars;
No. 3, "Friends Also Go to Bed", with a weekend box office of 1850 million US dollars, Sony Ping Zhen, with a cumulative box office of 1850 million US dollars, 2926 theaters, and an investment cost of 3600 million US dollars;
……

"Captain America" ​​was released in 3715 theaters in North America last Friday, with a box office of nearly 1.8 U.S. dollars in a single theater and a box office of 6582 million U.S. dollars in its opening weekend, ranking first on the list.

This opening result is also worthy of the film's production cost of 1.4 million U.S. dollars.

Of the four superhero-themed movies released this year, "Green Lantern" opened with $4 million, "X-Men: First Class" opened with $5320 million and "Thor" opened with $5510 million. Dollar.

"Captain America" ​​and "Thor" are both 3D movies ("Thor" also has an IMAX version), but 60% of "Thor"'s opening weekend box office came from 3D theaters (2737 theaters).

However, only 40% of the box office of "Captain America" ​​came from 3D theaters (2511 theaters). It can be seen that the 3D trend caused by "Avatar" seems to have begun to fade.

In addition, because the title of "Captain America" ​​is really American, Liang Tianchi Pictures is also worried that the film will not be as popular in the international market as superhero movies such as "Thor" and "Iron Man". There are not many places in the market that are released simultaneously.

In Italy, however, the film also grossed $280 million in its opening weekend, not as much as "Thor," but 16 percent more than the first "Iron Man" did at the time.

The film's comprehensive media review score is 67 points, with 73% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, 96 people in favor, 36 people against, Yahoo's film critic C+, and the audience score A-.

"Captain America" ​​was successfully promoted to the top student in the comic book superhero adaptation army, and both the box office and word-of-mouth have exceeded industry expectations!
However, in view of the ideological "hero of the people" and the big villain Red Skull settled in Hong Kong, the whole film did not touch the compromise line of the socialist camp, so it goes without saying that the psychological bonus is not much to say, so most film critics donate flowers and smiling faces. No surprises.

"This film will satisfy all your fantasies about an action-packed blockbuster!"

"Since the beginning of the film, it has been surging, and its action and scene design are even better than "Black Hawk Down" and "Cannon of Navarone". Even "Green Hornet" has to worship Captain America's slim version of leggings Down!"

"It's like the majestic momentum of the great river going east! The action design is as fierce and neat as the World Wrestling Championship!"

"A masterpiece adapted from comics! The style is similar but majestic! The plot refined from history and human nature presents an excellent form that is clever but not lacking in humor!"

"Compared to Captain America, those so-called blockbuster movies that have to "deal with" one or two characters every 45 seconds, and talk about world peace at length, can't find a better adjective except for the word trash!"

"Maybe this film is not a masterpiece, but its sophisticated production techniques, elegant and exciting adventure story are enough to keep us engrossed!"

"Muscular, passionate, exciting, thrilling!"

"This film is a perfect choice for the third weekend in July! Wacky humor, amazing imagination, and almost cheeky re-creation of nostalgic adventure routes!"

"What really makes "Captain America" ​​stand out from the superhero works released in 2011 and even earlier is the romance that runs throughout the film and not just attached to the plot!"

"Captain has created a brand-new screen hero. He is not a big man who has a lot of money and burns money to fight evil, nor is he a small man who has suffered from childhood and hates evil. He is a man who lives in Brooklyn and fights for freedom. child!"

……

The box office results of "Captain America" ​​in the first weekend are still within the forecast range of Tianchi Films, which is of course a bit low.

Because of this movie title, Liang Tianchi Films and the media all predicted that its overseas box office should be lower than that of "Thor"!
Thor now has $1.81 million in North America and $4.5 million worldwide.

According to this data, the global box office of "Captain America" ​​is likely to be less than 4 million US dollars!
The good news is that the word-of-mouth and media reviews of "Captain America" ​​are good, especially among the comic superhero movies.

This has a very positive effect on the next two installments in the series.

Now, the first five films of the first phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe have all been released, and what Marvel fans and movie fans are most looking forward to is undoubtedly the finale of the first phase, "The Avengers".

The success or failure of "The Avengers" will be directly related to the progress of the second phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe, and it is also related to the level of Hollywood giants' quotations for Marvel Entertainment.

At the same time, it also has a major impact on whether Liangtianchi Pictures can successfully acquire MGM, and it is also crucial to the future layout of Liangtianchi Pictures.

It can be said that "The Avengers" is truly the focus of attention, and at the same time, there is no room for loss!
At this time, Chen Hao didn't even care about the box office situation of "Captain America", and was busy with the filming of "The Avengers".

After filming the big battle where Hawkeye attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. command center, the filming of the final climax, the Battle of New York, will begin immediately!
Although the battle of S.H.I.E.L.D. was won with the joint efforts of several superheroes, Phil Coulson, the ninth-level agent, died heroically.

Death often has a shocking power, and this power is well exploited by Nick Fury.

The black-bellied director Nick Fury took advantage of Mayfair's death to severely stimulate the superheroes who have not yet fully formed a group.

In the end, Mayfair's death and the imminent attack of the alien Chitauri made the six superheroes who had not yet fully integrated make up their minds and went to the New York battlefield together!

At this time, five dilapidated cars have been arranged in the studio, and this is New York in the middle of the war.

"Is there any problem with the explosion point?" Chen Hao asked.

Explosions in the war are inevitable, and the crew prepared explosives, which are still quite dangerous.

"There should be no problem." Lu Yang nodded, but he didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, this thing is really hard to say, "I watched the blasting team test it three times, and the explosion point is fine. As long as the actors run according to the route, it should be fine. something."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, and then walked towards the US team, sister widow and Deng Chao.

The six superheroes, Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk are all capable of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, while the US team, widow sister, and Saber are considered ground troops.

Therefore, it was mainly the three of them who ran past the explosion point.

"Are you familiar with the route?" Chen Hao asked.

"We've already run 5 times, no problem." The widow looked at Chen Hao's concerned face and smiled, "Don't worry!"

"Don't worry, director, we are also very afraid of being bombed." Chris laughed.

"I have filmed a lot of explosion scenes before, so I have some experience." Deng Chao laughed.

"That's what I said, but you can't be too careful when sailing for ten thousand years." Chen Hao said, "Then prepare and prepare, and start preparing immediately."

10 minutes later, the filming begins!
""Avengers" Scene 125, Scene 1, Shot 1, pop!"
