Chapter six hundred and eighty first dead without going to the toilet

Box office records, deformation!

Transformers broke box office records on its first day of release in North America - Tuesday's box office hit $35.4 million, breaking the North American Tuesday box office record.

On Wednesday, the film's box office rose instead of falling. Although it only increased by 5%, the $37.17 million also set a new North American Wednesday box office record.

But it's a work day after all, and after consuming a lot of Transformers fans over the first two days, the film dropped 11 percent on Thursday to close at $33.08 million.

In just three non-holiday days, Transformers broke the $100 million mark at the North American box office.

Among them, the fans accumulated by Transformers over the years and Duke's strong personal appeal have played an extremely critical role.

Since Friday, Transformers ushered in its first weekend in North America, and thanks to the previous three days of screenings, the film's word of mouth has spread, and despite the praise and criticism, the audience is still flocking.

Because in the word of mouth of ordinary audiences, Transformers is an extremely exciting sci-fi action blockbuster, and this kind of film is the type that is most popular among summer audiences.

In those good times, our eyes are full of bright colors and dazzling deformation movements; our ears are full of mechanical friction sounds, full of rhythmic rock music; magical sci-fi concepts and endless technological terms make the little brains in front of the TV set. Full operation; in those times, we all became small audiences beside the big stage of the universe, and we gained all kinds of emotions from the contest between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, good and evil.”

Magnificent imagination, vivid stories, and excellent production make Transformers a perfect integration into our childhood life and become an indelible classic in our memories.

A repeat viewing by Transformers fans. It is the most basic guarantee of the box office of this film.

The support of the vast majority of passers-by audiences is the key to the rapid growth of the box office of Transformers.

Since the release of Transformers, some critics have criticized it, believing that its commercial flavor is too strong, but the reaction of mainstream media and movie fans in North America has been generally positive. The shocking action scenes and magnificent background music are enough to make the audience excited. Many passers-by fans said that the visual impact of this film is no less than the feeling of watching Jurassic Park in 1993. Go to the toilet!

Although the film is oriented towards teenagers, there are not a few viewers in their 30s and 40s.

I'm in my thirties. The moment I heard Optimus Prime say 'Autobot Transform' in the movie theater. I burst into tears. People's deep feelings for Transformers are the basis for this live-action animated film to get such a high box office.

Mike Wollman, a spokesman for the publisher, Warner Bros., also stood up to cheer for the film, Transformers had the best three weekday box office ever, and the film's appeal was very broad. It was the kind of A summer blockbuster that appeals to the whole family, we'll be excited to see it continue to thrive over the weekend.

Indeed, Transformers has received mixed reviews in North America, but the criticism has basically come from the serious decline of professional film critics.

Statements like Duke Rosenberg can't express the humanity and depth of the character at all and The director who once made a good work like The Dark Knight made such a bad film emerged one after another.

Even Kenneth Turan, a columnist in the Los Angeles Times, who treats Duke more friendly. They all think he went a little too far in the special effects.

Robots smashed through the building after colliding with each other, smashed into the street when the building fell, fighter jets hovered over their heads, the ultimate battle between Megatron and the decent hero Optimus Prime... Amid the deafening battle sounds, the Strong heavy metal accompaniment. Too many endless CGI production scenes. Too many to bear, and it feels unnecessary, the crew should re-evaluate their strategy, not on the screen Simply messing around with these morphing and sparring games. I mean. CGI is a crucial element of this movie, but our pizza can't be all CGI.

However, not many movie fans bought their accounts. Transformers was filmed and produced, and it was not intended for people who like warm movies.

The box office is undoubtedly the best proof of the film's popularity in North America.

The box office figures that can be obtained over the weekend are undoubtedly very important for a summer commercial masterpiece. On Friday, the first weekend of the first weekend, Transformers handed over an extremely good answer sheet.

Even though it had been shown in North America for three days before, the film still made $37.26 million in one day on Friday.

After the world premiere in China, the crew was divided into two parts. Duke led a small group of people to stay in China to cooperate with the promotion of the film throughout the Western Pacific region, while Tina Fey led the main cast. The personnel returned to North America, focusing on the promotion of the North American market.

In one announcement, Tina Fey, the producer, was also asked by reporters about professional critics slamming the film.

She was influenced by Duke and had a deep-rooted hatred of film critics.

Everyone on the crew worked as hard as we could, and I'm happy to see that the audience, except the critics, loved the movie, so let's ignore those critics, can they represent the audience? No! So, the movie The first thing is to make the audience like it.”

Facing numerous media reporters, Tina Fei's words were not polite at all, In North America, the concept of the free market is deeply rooted in people's hearts. If the audience doesn't like a film, they won't invest a cent in it, but now The situation is that most viewers clearly like Transformers very much, so why care about the opinions of the group of only 300 people?

Compared to Duke's sometimes-conscious public image, Tina Fey's words were more direct, The fact that most audience members still flock to the theaters to watch the live-action Transformers movie despite the critics' slam, is what led to the critics. The main reason people are angry and slammed about the film is because their comments are always ignored by the public.

They are a group of people who lived in the past. Times have changed, but they haven't. They still think that they are the center of the film industry. A film review can decide the life or death of a film, and always take it for granted according to their own. The idea is to select movies for all audiences in the United States, and want to influence which movies they should watch and which movies they shouldn't watch.

But now there's more freedom of information, a new generation. They don't trust any professionals when it comes to choosing movies. They buy tickets according to their preferences. To put it bluntly, film critics are a rapidly declining industry.

It is this situation that has led to dissatisfaction among many film critics. They have begun to change their relatively fair stance before, and always want to point fingers at young audiences. They should comment on the film itself objectively, but in the end they disagree with the mainstream. The audience's conflict. It's just because they abandoned the film angle, and everything took the self as the correct standard and attacked the audience's preferences from a high point.

Actually, these film critics are no longer worthy of our attention. They are hardly 'reviewing films', they are just 'screaming hard', trying to regain their status as film critics ten or even twenty years ago .

When asked by reporters for her thoughts on Duke's work, Tina Fey was full of praise. Our friends call his way of working 'Duty Operating System' and it feels like dealing with war. It's a mess. There's explosions everywhere, there are cameras everywhere you can think of the venue, and you're standing there, Feels like a fool. Don't know what to do. But Duke's edited, oh my gosh, it's so good, he's just done a ballet with the camera and he knows exactly which pieces to put together Wherever he goes, his brain is very smart.

The figures released by a survey agency may be Tina Fey's best illustration of what critics think.

CinemaScore conducted a four-day statistical survey of the four most famous theaters in the United States, and the survey results, which were directly named 'Do you choose movies based on movie reviews from well-known film critics', were released. in a very awkward position.

According to the survey results published in numerous mainstream media, 84%, 79%, 81% and 82% of the audience in the four theaters completely ignored the film critics' reviews.

The audiences who said they really chose films based on the reviews of well-known film critics were 2.3 percent, 1.9 percent, 2.2 percent, and 1.3 percent, and almost all of them were Audiences over the age of thirty-five.

Of course, the box office of Transformers on Saturday and Sunday is also a testament to the negligible market influence of professional film critics.

Although the box office of the past two days has shown a downward trend, the decline is limited, and Transformers is completely running in a normal and healthy trend that conforms to the laws of the market.

Saturday's one-day box office fell just 4 percent from Friday to $35.77 million; Sunday's drop was slightly higher, but only 11 percent to $31.83 million.

In its first weekend in North America, Transformers easily took the top spot at the box office with $104.86 million.

The film also grossed $210.51 million at the North American box office.

Transformers has not only achieved remarkable results in the North American market, but it has also been very popular in hundreds of countries and countries overseas. For example, in South Korea, it is not only the best movie in South Korea's film history online pre-sale, but also has a one-week release. It attracted 4.31 million viewers, setting a new Korean box office record.

Also this week, Transformers raked in $232.11 million from overseas.

In just seven days of release, the global box office hit a terrifying figure of $442.62 million.

While not as good as Pirates of the Caribbean 3's $450 million-plus worldwide box office in its first week, it's quite a feat for a non-sequel film.

In addition, Transformers also made a very strange event in China. (To be continued ^)
