Chapter 235 Word of Mouth Box Office Double Explosion

Compared with the anxious North American movie fans, because of the time difference, Chinese movie fans will be happy to enjoy it one day earlier than North American movie fans.

Approaching college graduation, the goddess Ye Xiaoyi wanted to experience a college romance, so she agreed to Jiang Zhicheng's pursuit and became his girlfriend.

Jiang Zhicheng has successfully changed from a watchdog to a licking dog, and then from a licking dog to a beautiful woman, which can be described as the ultimate form of a spare tire.

But he couldn't be happy, the reason was very simple, because he had only held hands with the goddess and went shopping together, never even kissed her.

In order to break this situation, Jiang Zhicheng grabbed two IMAX movie tickets for "The Dark Knight" and went to the movies with Ye Xiaoyi.

After eating a meal and watching a movie, then holding hands for a stroll and kissing, and finally going to open a room, after this set of procedures, Jiang Zhicheng is full of confidence in himself.

However, half an hour after entering the cinema to watch a movie, Jiang Zhicheng had completely forgotten about this matter.

He only felt the trembling of his soul, without him, "The Dark Knight" was so scary.

It's hard to describe this feeling too much. Goddesses don't matter anymore. He wants to watch a movie and doesn't want to miss a single shot.

But Ye Xiaoyi, who was sitting next to him, frowned and felt physically uncomfortable.

Ye Xiaoyi grabbed Jiang Zhicheng's arm, Jiang Zhicheng came back to his senses, seeing Ye Xiaoyi's distressed face, he asked with concern: "What's wrong, Xiaoyi?"

"This movie makes me uncomfortable..." Ye Xiaoyi said painfully.

The goddess is in trouble. Normally, Jiang Zhicheng would have given up on movies, but today is different. He doesn't want to miss a single shot of the movie.

"Go out and rest first, and wait for me to come out." Jiang Zhicheng said.

Ye Xiaoyi nodded, watching a movie directed by Zhang Hao for the first time in history, and left early.

When the movie was over, Jiang Zhicheng approached Ye Xiaoyi and asked, "Don't you usually watch director Zhang's movies the most? Why don't you like watching them today?"

Ye Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "That's because the films directed by Zhang have always brought me pleasant experiences, but this time it's different, it's too uncomfortable.

I don't like the style of this movie. "

Jiang Zhicheng was stunned. There is no reason why I don't like these four words. If I don't like it, I just don't like it.

"I'll take you back!" Jiang Zhicheng had no choice but to send Ye Xiaoyi back because he couldn't do anything like this today.

On the way back, Jiang Zhicheng scrolled through the comments, and was surprised to find that "The Dark Knight" was rated [-] on Douban.

"There are so many very good reviews, and there is no bad review." Jiang Zhicheng said in surprise.

Ye Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "I can't understand why such an ugly movie has so many positive reviews. For the sake of Zhang Hao's movie, I won't give a low score."

Ye Xiaoyi's reaction can indeed represent the thoughts of a small number of movie fans. After all, the heavy style of "The Dark Knight" does make some movie fans feel physically and psychologically uncomfortable.

However, the vast majority, or fans who have watched the film, basically gave it a high praise.

"I have been watching superhero movies since the "Spider-Man" series. It can be said that "The Dark Knight" is the ceiling."

"I agree, this movie is so scary, it goes way beyond the realm of superhero movies."

"Heath Ledger's Joker is so good, it completely overshadows Batman."

"Director Zhang is amazing, this is the film with the highest artistic achievement of Director Zhang so far."

"It's hard for me to disagree with you."

As a film and television blogger, Zhou Yang immediately shared his viewing experience;

"Let me make a conclusion first. This "Dark Knight" is the best and most outstanding Batman movie in the past few decades, and even many years to come. Let me talk about my point of view.

In grimness, The Dark Knight is closer to David Fincher's Zodiac than Tim Burton's playful, gothic Batman.

That said, he's pretty close to both Bob Kane's original comic and Frank Miller's 1986 reinterpretation.

The film is heavy and occasionally a bit Wagnerian, but Mr. Heath Ledger's performance and the film's visual beauty are thrilling throughout (in IMAX it looks like an opera).

No matter how cynical you may be about Hollywood, it's hard not to be overwhelmed by a movie like this.

It leaves enough space to show the Joker popping out of the window of a police car, the laughter drifting to the wind, and the neon lights of the city behind him flashing like brilliant pearls.

He's just a clown in black velvet, but classic in a way.

However, the most amazing thing is that such a movie was actually made by our Chinese film director, so it can be called a classic superhero movie in film history.

Whether you love or hate Zhang Hao, one thing you have to admit is that he has surpassed the traditional Chinese film director.

His exploration of going international and the road to the world has reached a whole new level. "

Zhang Hao was praised on the Internet, and the film was also highly praised, and these were truly reflected in the box office.

On May 2.46th, China time, "The Dark Knight" grossed [-] million in a single day, becoming the third Hollywood movie to hit the big time during the summer.

The first two films are "Fast and Furious 7" and "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron". At present, these two films have scored 19.3 billion and 9.4 million box office respectively in the mainland market.

Good news came from the mainland market, which indirectly stimulated the North American market.

After the pre-sale started, "The Dark Knight" surpassed "Fast and Furious 7" and "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", and the pre-sale box office sold much faster than the former two.

"This is the best-selling blockbuster movie this year," said Hubby of the North American online ticketing site. show."

Four hours after the pre-sale opened, "The Dark Knight" ended its premiere at the Dome Theater in Los Angeles. At this time, the pre-sale box office of the film had reached 2500 million US dollars.

That was a mere four hours, and it terrified everyone, including rival Disney.

Robert Iger suddenly discovered that all his contempt and indifference had buried a crisis in the dark.

I originally thought that "The Dark Knight" was just "The Dark Knight", but I didn't expect that Batman alone could fight against all Marvel superheroes including Iron Man and Captain America.

In response to this pre-sale situation, many North American media have also done analysis.

At present, the best superhero movie box office in North America is "Avengers 2012" in 1, with a box office of 6.23 million, followed by "Spiderman" in 2002, with a box office of 4.42 million.

So the North American media are very concerned about whether "The Dark Knight" can surpass "Avengers 1" or "Spider-Man".

Authoritative experts predict that the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" will reach more than 1 million US dollars in the first week, the upper limit?inestimable.

After the premiere, Zhang Hao accepted an interview with CNN.

"Is there any shot in the film that you can't wait to show the audience?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "It can be said that I like every shot I took, and I can't wait to show the audience more shots, especially the action scenes shot with IMAX 70mm film format.

It was really shocking, especially the battle between Batman and the Joker. "

The IMAX company has given great support to this film shot in the IMAX format, and all IMAX theaters in North America will show "The Dark Knight" around the clock.

And Zhang Hao also set a record for the opening of his own movie in North American theaters. "The Dark Knight" will kick off in North America with 4650 theaters.

Although it is not as good as the 2 of "Avengers 4800: Age of Ultron" released last week, the number of openings is still very impressive.

The CNN reporter asked about Batman again: "What do you think of the superhero Batman?"

Zhang Hao recalled a sentence Michael Caine said, and used it directly: "I remember Michael once said that Superman is the way Americans see themselves, and Batman is the way others see Americans."

Applied to Batman above the law, the vigilante, to a certain extent, quite appropriate.

It's just that Batman's basic principle is to punish evil and promote good, while the old beauty just doesn't do human affairs.

With the end of the premiere and the opening of the midnight show, countless North American movie fans flocked to the cinema to watch this movie that has been hyped for a long time recently.

Many viewers said that after watching the film, they will never forget it for a long time.

On IMDB, the largest movie review website in North America, many movie fans left their comments excitedly after watching the movie.

"I will undoubtedly regard "The Dark Knight" as the best movie. It is hard to believe that a China perfectly integrates business and art, and balances profound and popular.

With majestic and atmospheric soundtrack, exciting scenes and three-point performance, it completely shocks people's emotions.

So I want to say to everyone who hasn't seen it: Missing it is definitely a great regret in your life! "

"Chris Zhang's greatest success lies in the game between the Joker and Batman, which has both hearty fighting scenes and brain-burning storylines.

It even blackens the repressed dark heroes, and the plot handling in between is great.

If you are faced with a choice problem, throwing it out and letting others choose can not only reflect human nature, but in fact, a large part of it is to promote a truth.

And it's admirable to be able to sublimate in the plot, and this is also the most in-depth of all superhero movies. "

"Batman is the least comic book hero, and because of that, makes him the most likely exception to straddle the line between crime drama and comic book hero.

But this time, Chris Zhang grasped this point accurately and made this movie rich, rigorous and cool.

Whether it is satisfying the audio-visual or the excavation of the complex level of human nature, it is perfect! "

Of course, not all movie fans praised the film, and many parents who brought their children to watch the film said that this film is not suitable for families to watch at all.

"I don't understand why this is supposed to be an R-rated film, why it is classified as PG-13. Watching this film is harmful to children."

The most amazing thing is that the group of film critics who have always despised superhero movies actually collectively applauded "The Dark Knight" this time.

A professional film critic named Kyle Hubert, who was also the rotating chairman of the last Oscar Academy, applauded "The Dark Knight" on his Twitter.

"It would be no exaggeration to say that The Dark Knight is the oldest and most ambitious entry in its genre.

Conceptualized, written, acted and directed, it surpasses all Batman franchises, even its amazing predecessors, and even all superhero movies.

The sequel to "Batman Begins" helmed by a Chinese director is dark, complex and unsettling.

At least because it grafts comic book heroes onto real-life blueprints, rather than just creating a Superman in a spandex suit.

And while that difference might not make much of a difference to those eagerly awaiting the return of the Caped Knight.

But I can say here: "The Dark Knight" is by far the first comic book adaptation that has truly achieved great artistic achievement.

Most importantly, the film looks flawless..."

That's right, it looks impeccable, this is the feeling of all fans who like this film.

Like Douban in China, "The Dark Knight" maintained a full score of 250 for a long time after the lifting of the ban, and briefly became the first on the IMDBTOP[-] list.

Along with the release of the film, there is also the North American midnight show data of "The Dark Knight", which took in 2840 million US dollars.

This result is the second highest box office data of North American midnight shows so far, the first being "Avengers 1".

After the midnight show, the official premiere of the film will be ushered in.

The early publicity of the film has whetted the appetite of movie fans, coupled with the excellent performance of the previous film, a large number of movie fans walked into the cinema on this day.

In the end, the North American box office on the first day released an extremely beautiful figure. It earned 9870 million US dollars in a single day, plus 2840 million in the midnight show, and the film broke [-] million on the first day of release.

If the film is well-received, it is only good reviews, and other film companies can't do much.

But the film received good reviews, and the box office hit it, which is a bit scary.

In fact, after hearing the midnight box office data and first day box office data of "The Dark Knight", Disney executives held an emergency meeting.

Other Hollywood companies have almost done the same thing, and hurriedly held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

No one expected that the weekend after the premiere of "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" would be such a terrible box office bomb.

However, this is not over. On Saturday, "The Dark Knight" scored 1.03 million US dollars at the box office in a single day, becoming the first superhero movie to break the [-] million box office in a single day.

It fell slightly on Sunday, with a box office of 6750 million U.S. dollars in a single day. After three days in the first weekend, North America scored 2.97 million U.S. dollars in box office, successfully breaking the first-week box office record in North America.

Such dazzling achievements have almost blinded the eyes of many film company executives, and they have begun to pay attention to the talent and ability of Zhang Hao, a Chinese director.

Not only that, after scoring 2.46 million votes on the first day in the mainland market, "The Dark Knight" continued to gallop, scoring 2.89 million and 2.31 million votes on the second and third days respectively.

In total, the mainland market won a total of 7.66 million in the first week, equivalent to 1.09 million US dollars at the box office.

Relying on the combined first-week box office of US$4.06 million in the North American and mainland markets, "The Dark Knight" overwhelmed "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", which was released globally this week, and became the global box office champion this week.

The word-of-mouth hit at the box office of "The Dark Knight" is already a certainty, and Zhang Hao has also received countless flowers, applause and glory.

But Zhang Hao is not complacent. No matter what achievements he has made in Hollywood, his foundation is still in China.

After the first weekend of the road show promotion, Zhang Hao returned to China in a low-key manner, busy with two long-prepared projects.

"The Dark Knight" has Warner Pictures, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
