Director’s Legend

At midnight on May 4, 2012, New York time, "The Avengers" was officially released in 4349 theaters in North America.

Seeing the unfavorable situation of the Women's Federation overseas, AMC Theaters, the largest theater chain in the United States, immediately decided that starting from the morning on the 3rd, "The Incredible Hulk", "Iron Man", "Iron Man 2", "Thor", " Captain America's five movies are released in succession, so it's just in time for the night to succeed "The Avengers".

The midnight shows are hot sellers, and they are also popular during normal times, which is enough to show that the Women's Federation is not a movie for midnight show lovers like Twilight and Hunger, but a movie suitable for long-term sales.

Such an incredible result, whether it is a single-day box office, a premiere day box office or a single-day box office on Friday, is only inferior to last year's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" and ranked No. 1 in film history. 2, and the midnight show also squeezed into the 7th place in film history.

The eyes of the experts were shocked. They originally predicted that the first weekend in North America would be 125 million US dollars, but they quickly adjusted it to 180 million US dollars. This prediction has surpassed Ha Qixia's film history record of US$169 million.

But experts are still too conservative!

Three days later, when the weekend box office came out, eyeballs fell all over the ground!

The two-day box office of $78.2 million on Saturday and $58.5 million on Sunday defeated the $51.33 million of "Spider-Man 3" and the $43.59 million of "The Dark Knight" respectively, ranking first in the history of single-day box office on Saturday and Sunday. First

At the box office of the opening weekend, "The Avengers" unbelievably earned $224.8 million. When it broke through the impossible mark of $200 million, it also raised the $169 million that Kazakhstan had maintained, a full increase of $50 million!

There were negative reviews from the media, but there was almost overwhelming praise. Only such praise can be worthy of the women's federation's earth-shattering momentum to break the box office record.

And audience ratings on imdb. Ranked as high as 9.2 points. Among the 100,000 comments from the audience. It's almost impossible to find bad ones. Of course, this is only temporary, and fans who like this movie are on top. As time goes by, many movies with explosive ratings when they are released will slowly decline.

At present, there are only a few movies in the top 50 in imdb movie history, and there are not many movies after 2000. The top ones are "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and "Inception". The rest are classic old movies that have been polished by time.

Of course, the Women's Federation, which has a foundation of comic fans, can't fall below the 8-point mark no matter how low it is. If you look at more than 100,000 ratings and still have a score of 9.2, you know that no matter how time passes, the high score is guaranteed. After all, a movie can be rated by at most 700,000 to 800,000 people.

"It's so good, it's so good!" This is the voice of all the raters, especially the young people who are rotten in comics.

Don't underestimate these comic nerds, with their support, you won't be able to make money! These manga housewives don’t smoke, drink, pick up girls, spend money indiscriminately, save some money, and almost all invest in the manga business. Compared to those who usually spend a lot of money and watch pirated copies of movies, the manga nerds are so cute.

In China, "The Avengers" can be said to have no comic fan base, but the box office is still strong. The ratings are also excellent. On Mtime.com, the ratings of film critics have reached 89%. Most of the film critics have given good reviews, but a small number of people, especially the older generation of filmmakers, have no favorable impression of the Women's Federation.

In their words, the Women's Federation is nothing more than a piece of brain, with no connotation, no literary style!

The Women's Federation does not have much connotation, but this kind of comic book adaptation is not a dark superhero like Batman. The six superheroes, in the comics, all have characters that are more joyful than deep, and no matter how they do it, they can't get deep. There is no need to make it deep, and it is always better to give people joy than sadness.

In terms of user ratings, the Women's Federation still got a high score of 9.0 points.

Just like netizen Piaomiaoaohuatian’s incisive comment: “Women’s Federation is also a popcorn movie for elementary school students’ IQ. Fortunately, Shao Shuaijun outlined the movie perfectly and harmoniously, instead of a hodgepodge. It’s not deep but smooth, and it’s not connotative but interesting. In Hollywood Compared with a group of kindergarten-level IQs, elementary school-level IQs are already commendable. Therefore, Shao Shuaijun, director of the Women's Federation, has contributed a lot to the Women's Federation's initial victory."

Li Xiuxiu, the wife of the director of the Women's Federation, laughed wildly when she saw this comment.

"Husband, director of the Women's Federation, that's a good name." (To be continued...)
