Hollywood Road

Chapter 441: First day box office results

Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!

On Friday morning the next day, Daisy went out and rushed to the nearby cinema. When she parked her car and bought some newspapers, she came to the Emperor Cinema. It was only at 8:30 in the morning, but the cinema had already opened and there were no more inside. Don't rush over to watch the fans.

This is also a North American tradition. For Hollywood films, Friday is the beginning of a new weekend. For movie fans, it also means that a large number of new films have just been released.

Holding a newspaper and a backpack, Daisy walked to the ticket window. It was probably too early. There was only one window for ticket sales. The ticket sales were just beginning. A dozen fans were waiting here.

""Twilight," one," a girl said, "thank you."

The girl received the ticket and walked away contentedly. One of the two boys behind handed over a dollar bill, ""Shameless Bastard", two!"

""Shameless Bastard", three pictures!"

""Twilight," one!"

The people in front of Daisy chose these two films without exception. "Twilight" was released before Thanksgiving, and now it has passed the hottest stage. Relatively speaking, people who bought tickets for "Inglourious Basterds" More.

And she also discovered another point. Most of the people who went to watch "Twilight" were women, and all boys bought tickets for "Inglourious Basterds".

I bought a movie ticket for "Inglourious Basterds". Since it was still early before the opening time, Daisy came to the rest area, found a seat and sat down, opened the bought newspaper, and waited quietly.

Daisy has no interest in news such as current affairs and politics. She reads newspapers directly to the entertainment section. The first is the "Los Angeles Times". On the front page of the entertainment section, you can easily see what was just released this weekend. The most conspicuous of several film reviews is Murphy Stanton's new film "Inglourious Basterds".

""Shameless Bastard" is a intensive, extremely complex, and lawless film. In this crazy world, Hitler and a group of top leaders were happily killed, as if there was nothing wrong with it. Yes, inter-state The act of war became a personal revenge, and Hitler only died one more time. Ingeniously, Hitler died in the movie theater, before the burning screen, which shows Murphy Stanton's ambition: the movie is no longer a matter of power. A tool for juggling, on the contrary, it has become a weapon for the execution of evil and the realization of justice. Then, let Hitler die happily in the cinema."

There are still these hidden in the film. Daisy can't help but scratch her head and open another copy of The New York Times.

"Inglourious Basterds" is a cool film that combines post-modern and old-fashioned styles with excellent entertainment effects. It can be said that Murphy Stanton used all his expertise in making this film, including the unforgettable. The characters, intensive and nutritious dialogue, amazing turning scenes and visual style. With his unique black style, Murphy Stanton made a World War II dream that belongs only to him."

Daisy nodded slightly, not only the audience's reputation on the Internet, it seems that the professional reputation in the media is not bad. Murphy's films can always please a considerable part of the audience while also winning the applause of the media and film critics. .

"The story of "Inglourious Basterds" is messy, not flawless, and very selfish, but Murphy Stanton also brings great enjoyment to the audience. The film is full of blood but glorious, and Murphy Stanton’s war fantasy may be Let history raging, but his film is an outstanding contribution to the World War II Holocaust film."

The "Washington Post" evaluation is also very good, "Shameless Bastard" can win the unanimous praise of the three major newspapers in the United States at the same time, and it also strengthened Daisy's determination to let go of her unhappiness and watch this film later.

Finally, Daisy opened the "Chicago Sun" and found the film critic column of the famous film critic Roger Albert.

"Murphy Stanton can perfectly integrate various elements into his noir style, and coupled with his unique film talent, he will always be able to create a film that is different from the past. The latest release of "Inglourious Basterds" is dark and tyrannical. Vivid, smooth and cautious, each other, historical facts and fantasies fly together, realism is the same as surrealism, real characters and fictional characters are mixed and matched, famous historical events are entangled with notorious evil deeds. Movies, novels, war history, memoirs, photos, music And painting, as far as the pop culture factors of World War II are concerned, Murphy used them as his own, and finally created a World War II wonder film!"

At the end of this video, Daisy also saw Roger Albert's iconic thumbs up.

Obviously, this famous film critic also likes Murphy's new film very much.

The theater began to check the tickets. Daisy walked into the theater with great expectations. The film did not disappoint her. Not to mention other places, the ending was abruptly knocking Hitler away, and the top executives of the police were able to let the whole screening. The audience in the hall all climaxed.

She couldn't find any adjectives except cool and cool.

If "Man of Steel" uses a heavy and depressing theme to create a fatalistic sense of epic appeal, then this film is like a mess, killing all the top leaders with a nearly nonsense technique, highlighting Cool and cool!

Sitting on her seat and watching the subtitles fall, Daisy suddenly discovered that her previous dissatisfaction with Murphy Stanton disappeared without a trace. How can a director who can make such a wonderful film be unloved? ?

Of course, it is impossible for any film to win everyone's love. Often as many people like it, so many people will hate it.

Moreover, even if "Shameless Bastard" is modified by Murphy to become more popular, it is still not suitable for all fans.

The Internet has criticized "Inglourious Basterds".

"If "Inglourious Basterds" is not a bad film and Murphy Stanton is not a bad director, then the world is crazy. Go ahead and tout your'unique taste'. What I see and feel is a bad movie. The director made a big bad movie, because there are few bad people who can really push the bad movie to our eyes."

But these voices are not mainstream after all, and it is difficult to influence too many people. Murphy has been in Hollywood for so many years, and people who do not like his black style do not like it after all. This is also a reality that is difficult to change.

In one day on Friday, "Inglourious Basterds" easily surpassed the previously released "Twilight", leading the audience and platooning rate, and became the day's single-day box office champion without any suspense.

"Even last Thursday's advance game was only $18.9 million..."

In the back garden of Wave Manor, Margot Robbie saw her golden ponytail thrown behind her, and said to Gal Gadot, who was walking with her on the stone road, "The box office will definitely not exceed $100 million in the first weekend. "

"Your request is too high and it's too unrealistic, Maggie." Gal Gadot took her arm. "How can an R-rated film with this theme have a box office of over 100 million in the first weekend?"

Margot Robbie leaned closer and said grinning, "I also know this is unrealistic, but thinking that this is Murphy's movie, it can always create some miracles."

Gal Gadot shook his head helplessly, "He is just an ordinary person."

This kind of R-rated film with a box office of over 100 million in the first weekend is not a miracle, but a fantasy.

Walking through the garden, the two saw several people sitting under the palm trees drinking afternoon tea. James Franco first beckoned to them, and Gal Gadot and Margot Robbie quickly walked over.

"What are you talking about?" Gal Gadot sat in the chair next to Murphy. Murphy poured a cup of black tea for her and Margot Robbie, and replied, "Jim officially invited us to join him and Lily’s moving party."

Gal Gadot looked at James Franco. "When?"

"The weekend before Christmas." James Franco exhorted, "You and Murphy must come."

Gal Gadot knew about the friendship between Stanton's party members, and without even thinking about it, he said, "We will definitely be there on time."

"Yes, it must be there!" Jonah Hill put down his tea cup on the other side and reminded, "Don't forget, I also prepare a very special gift for you."

James Franco shrugged, "I hope it wasn't the thing that ruined the party."

Jonah Hill gave him a **** directly.

Hearing these words, Margot Robbie first looked at James Franco and then at Gal Gadot. Gal Gadot understood what she meant and gave an encouraging look.

"You... are you going to have a party?" Margot Robbie asked tentatively, "Can I attend?"

"Of course!" James Franco said immediately, "I have sent an invitation to your brother David. You will come together next weekend."

"Yeah!" Margot Robbie nodded and laughed.

For James Franco and Lily Collins, this is undoubtedly a very important party, and Murphy also knows that it is really not easy for the two to get together.

And Lily Collins seems to have a good way to make a **** stop looking for new goals and focus on her. More importantly, these two people have received the blessing of Lily Collins' mother.

Faced with this situation, Murphy can only say that Hollywood lovers are extraordinary.

Determined to attend the moving party of James Franco and Lily Collins next week, Murphy then began his busy post-screening publicity work. "Inglourious Basterds" has already had a good first day box office performance, no matter what. Considering, he hopes that the next harvest will be better.

The box office and commercial revenue of this film is definitely not comparable to "Man of Steel", as long as people with normal heads can see this.

After the first day's box office of 18.9 million US dollars, "Inglourious Basterds" received another 22.1 million US dollars on Saturday. The rising box office the next day also indicates that the film will have a pretty good opening number on the first weekend.
