Chapter 296 Reaching the top!Climb to the top!
early morning.

America time six o'clock.

Rotten Tomatoes published the critic data of "Source Code", with a freshness rating of 95%, which caused those portal reporters to revise their drafts one after another.

Another rating website, IMDB, has not yet opened due to too few ratings.

Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB are both movie rating websites, similar in nature to Douban in China. However, Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB have different focuses.

The mechanism is also different.

Rotten Tomatoes is a binary system, with only two options: [Fresh/Recommended] and [Not Recommended/Rotten]. A 95% freshness also means that 95% of people have given a recommendation rating.

In addition, Rotten Tomatoes' score group is more inclined to film critics.

IMDB is for all movie fans. As long as you have an account, you can rate it. The scoring mechanism is 1-10.

The 95% freshness is also in sharp contrast to "The Twilight Saga: New Moon".

"New Moon" topped the box office last weekend, but its reputation is very poor.

The Rotten Tomatoes review rating is only a pitiful 29%, and the IMDB rating is only 4.4.

According to statistics from the survey agency, the average male score of "Crescent Moon" is only 3.2 points, and the average female score is 6.3 points.

Among them, almost all high scores of 8 or above come from girls under the age of 18.

nine in the morning.

Powell, a well-known North American film critic, published a film review about "Source Code" in the film review section of The New York Times.

【8 minutes of surprise——LU】

As a professional film critic, you must do two things: attract movie fans to the cinema without spoiling anything.

In this report, Powell first praised Lu Yuan's acting skills.

[If someone asks me what was the biggest shock during watching the movie, then it must be Lu's acting skills.

The person with the best acting skills among singers and the best singing among actors must have Lu's name.

If there is a Best Newcomer Award at the Oscars, I will definitely vote for Lu! 】

After boasting about his acting skills, Powell again boasted about the plot design.

[Reversals again and again, making people want to stop]

[The team of scientists behind the scenes established an extremely rigorous scientific setting for the plot's framework]

【highly recommended! ! 】

After talking about the plot, Powell talked about the props and music. Finally, he complained softly that Lu should make more movies and stop releasing albums every day.

Hollywood is where Lu should go.

At the same time, the film review sections of newspapers such as the Los Angeles Daily News, the Hollywood Reporter, and the Washington Post also published a large number of "Source Code" film reviews.

Although each film critic has a different focus, the vast majority of film critics have given positive reviews, recommendations, etc.

On this day, there are many non-fans among the movie-watching group.

the other side.

Even America has received rave reviews, and it is naturally even more popular here in China.

The harder you press, the more violent the rebound will be.

This year’s domestic Lunar New Year festival is packed with comedies.

"Panda Heroes" (Liu Ye, Deng Jiajia, Ren Quan, He Jiong), "My Brothers from the Tang Dynasty" (Jiang Wu, Hu Jun), and "Mars Is All Right" (Huang Sanshi, Xie Na), which were released in November, are in Hollywood In front of the disaster movie "11", it can be said that there is no way to fight back.

11月13号上映，截至11月22号，不过十天的时间，《2012》狂揽2.3亿票房。

During the off-season of the Lunar New Year, "2012" set off a movie-watching frenzy.

In fact, the performance of "2012" is a bit surprising.

Because the performance of "2012" in North America was not outstanding, with an investment of 2 million US dollars, the first weekend box office was only 6500 million US dollars, not even half of "New Moon".

With such a box office, do you expect the North American box office to recover the cost?

Basically impossible!
However, while the east is not bright and the west is bright, "2012" performed very strongly in the mainland.

Sweeping the Lunar New Year stalls in November.

Seeing such an astonishing performance, "Mulan" suddenly panicked.

There was "2012" before, and Lu Yuan's "Source Code" later. Under attack from both sides, does this movie still have a chance to survive?

On the eve of the movie's release, the producers of "Mulan" had to play around with the situation. ["Mulan" reveals stills of mandarin duck bathing, Chen Kun and Zhao Feite fighting hand-to-hand in the water]

[Feite Zhao has starred in the largest nude scene since her acting career]

[Bath fight, Hua Mulan stills exposed]

[Chen Kun and Zhao Feite have known each other for more than ten years because of their drama, and they successfully held hands? 】

Anyway, all possible means have been used. At this moment, Shanghai Film Group no longer has much expectations for the box office of "Mulan".

Anyone who can deceive is one.

Less loss means more profit!

However, after all, it is not the right way to play outside the market. Those audiences who walked into the theater with "passionate drama" in mind ended up walking out of the theater cursing.

fraud!

writer of sensational headlines!
On the other hand, the audience who walked out of the "Source Code" theater were all lively, chatting and laughing.

Many movie fans who didn't understand it bought new tickets one after another and started the second viewing.

During the first weekend of the release of "Source Code", Meituan.com also went into full swing and launched a 19.9 group purchase of movie tickets for two people.

Not surprisingly, the theaters for the 19.9 movie viewing event are all theaters owned by [Star Cinemas].

……

……

11 month 30 number.

on Monday.

The North American box office is out.

"Source Code" grossed $1500 million at the box office on its first day of release.

Saturday, 1280 million.

On Sunday, the box office did not decrease but increased, surpassing Friday's box office. The box office that day reached 1635 million.
The total box office in the first week was US$4415 million, surpassing the sharp decline of "New Moon" and becoming the single-week box office champion in North America.

of course.

The counterattack of "Source Code" is related to the box office statistics in North America. The box office statistics in North America are different from those in China.

Domestic statistics are based on one week's data.

In North America, data is only collected on Friday, Saturday, and weekends, because the three days on weekends are intensive movie viewing periods and can better reflect the popularity of a movie.

If we calculate the data for seven days, "New Moon" is more than 9000 million US dollars, and "Source Code" will definitely not be able to compare.

The North American box office data was released, and the domestic media was immediately elated.

The last time a domestic film won the North American weekly box office championship was "Hero" in 2004.

Five years!

For five years, there hasn't been a movie like "Heroes".

Therefore, "Hero" is also the only movie to win the North American weekly box office championship.

Now, there is another movie that tops the box office in North America in a single week.

Although "Source Code" is a Sino-US co-production, the male protagonist is Chinese and the investors are controlled by Chinese companies.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in classifying "Source Code" as a domestic film.

The box office gross of US$4415 million in the first week also broke the best first-week record of US$1780 million set by "Heroes".

Similarly, "Source Code" performed very well in China.

On the first day of release on November 11, the box office was 27 million.

The first-day box office record set by "The Founding of a Republic" has been set again!
Saturday box office, 4120 million.

Although the box office data for Sunday has not yet been released, it is definitely not a problem to exceed [-] million in three days.

In addition, under the attack of "Source Code", the box office of "2012" also experienced a sharp dive. On the 27th and 28th, the box office of "2012" only reported 4950 million.

The worst thing is "Mulan", whose cumulative box office on Friday and Saturday was only 1030 million.

It barely exceeded 1000 million.
