I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Unlike its absolutely overwhelming advantage at home, overseas, especially in North America, the box office situation of "Magic Tide" is not optimistic.

First of all, "Fast 11", as a long-established series, has many loyal fans in North America, and the final work of the series is full of gimmicks. It can be said that without "Tide", there would be no box office champion in North America this year. The question will be "Fast 11".

Secondly, this movie is the finale of the series, but it does not mean that the actors and producers will not make it. They already have plans for similar racing-themed movies in the future. This movie is the end, but it is not the end. Therefore, Box office is very important.

In addition, "Magic Tide" is a fantasy epic theme. Even in Europe and the United States, this theme does not have the widest audience. Just like there are domestic audiences who detour when they see ancient costumes of martial arts and immortal heroes, there are also foreign audiences who are nauseated by looking at knight armor, and Especially in North America, a place without a strong sense of history, the stories around you are more attractive than those distant fantasies. North America itself has a car culture, and young people’s first car is very important, so in In terms of subject matter, "Fatal Speed ​​11" has the advantage.

Finally, the amount of film arrangement is a flaw.

"Fast 11" had 47% of the first-day screenings in North America, while "Tide" only had 17%. There is a 30% gap in the middle. This is not something that quality or reputation can make up for. .

If the total box office on Christmas Day in North America is US$500 million, then the upper limit of "Fast 11" is more than US$200 million, and the upper limit of "Tide" is US$80 million.

This can be seen from the pre-sale box office. The pre-sale box office of "Fast 11" on the first day was close to 100 million US dollars, while "The Tide" only had less than 20 million US dollars.

North American audiences still don't have enough confidence in "Tide".

A few hours after "Magic Tide" was released in Jiangcheng, New York in North America also ushered in zero o'clock.

Two highly anticipated movies arrived.

The New York Times even opened a special webpage for the box office competition between the two, updating the box office results of the two movies in real time.

And just after midnight, when the first game ended, "Fatal Speed ​​11" led by a huge advantage.

In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about the movie box office can see that with such a disparity in the film schedule, "Tide" will definitely not surpass "Fast 11". The first-day champion is 100% "Fast 11" .

At night in North America, twenty-four hours have passed. According to the New York Times website, the North American box office of "Fast 11" is US$130 million, while "The Tide" is US$40 million.

A special feature of the studio was presented on the Nasdaq screen, with a female host and two guests talking about two movies.

"I think what "The Tide" lacks is the portrayal of heroes. Throughout the movie, we can only see the struggles of ordinary people. We cannot see a hero, an extraordinary person who surpasses everyone. There are only martyrs and no heroes. The movie has no purpose, and that's where it fails."

One guest commented.

"In contrast, "Fast 11" focuses on the relationship between the protagonist and his family. Compared with the relationship between people and the world, those emotions that are too huge, the emotions between family members are more touching. This is the reason why Fast 11 is successful."

another guest added.

The female host wearing glasses looked at the audience after hearing the comments from the two guests.

"After listening to both guests, I have something special to say at this exciting time."

She stood up, walked to one side, in front of the screen showing the real-time box office of "Fast 11" and "The Tide", and spoke vividly.

"What's happening right now is so crazy, right here in New York, in Times Square, it's unprecedented, and let me be specific, I want to talk to you about success, success is all about growth, inheritance, continuity, about family."

"If you want to succeed, you have to defeat yourself and the glory you have gained. If you want to succeed, you have to stand up with your head held high after being knocked down countless times. No one can do it better than the team of "Fatal Speed" It can explain it all.”

"Cerrel, he is one of the most box-office action movie actors in North America and the world, but despite his resume, he has never realized his dream of being number one at the box office every year, but he never gave up. .”

"Looking back on the past, a few years ago, the box office of "Fatal Speed" had been suppressed by the superhero movie series. Until six years ago, the highest-grossing movie in the series was born. In that summer, nothing could stop Serrel and his "Fatal Speed", even those superheroes that looked like they were mass-produced in a cannery were defeated by him."

"But as we all know later, in the fall, the release of two consecutive movies made him miss the opportunity to become the annual box office champion. This time, he couldn't even get the second place. What's worse is that he may have missed another one. The opportunity will never arise.”

"Later, there were those popcorn superhero movies, one after another, blocking him like a mountain, but he and his "Fatal Speed" did not stop fighting. In the last movie work, he finally defeated his inner demons, defeated a superhero movie, and now what?”

"We are at the end of the first day of the most luxurious Christmas season. "Fast" was criticized by critics before it was released. They believed that Serrier and his racing movies were showing signs of decline. Those critics were blindly praising Lu. Kizuna, a director from the East, claims to have one of the top five box office hits in film history."

"But so far, we have not seen the amazing qualities displayed by the legendary "Demon Tide", and we have not seen the wonderful performance Lu Jian brought to the audience. What we have seen is Serrell and his miraculous Racing skills bring an audio-visual feast to the audience.”

"Everything has come to this day, the day when the box office closes on the first day, inner demons can be defeated, dreams can be realized, and Serrell and his "Fatal Speed" will prove his strength to the world, and Lu Jian "Magic Tide" with him will become the best background board on this road to victory."

"Let's wait and see, a new legend is born."

The female host's impassioned speech made many people stop and watch, and the screen behind her showed that in North America, "Fast 11"'s first-day box office beat "The Devil" and became today's box office champion.

And just when the speech and video, which seemed to declare victory, were circulated on the Internet and transported to China, the domestic box office statistics for the first day were also released.
