Chapter 568 Thor wins the championship
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
It is not only Marvel Comics and Twentieth Century Fox that are concerned about the release of the films this weekend. Even Warner Bros. people are also staring at "Thor" and "City of Chaos", especially "Thor", which is the focus of Warner Bros.'s senior management. Everyone knows that the more successful Marvel superhero films are, the more incompetent the Warner Bros. and DC Comics are.
On Saturday morning, Warner Bros. Cruz Rosenblum did not rest, but instead made an appointment with Diego Harris to meet in the company's office.
"Have you seen the latest box office statistics?" Bruce Rosenblum asked in a large office chair, looking at Diego Harris opposite, "Thor and City of Chaos yesterday's box office."
"Murphy Stanton was suppressed!"
Thinking of the other party's conditions when the Lion spoke loudly, Diego Harris was still a little unhappy. Even though Marvel's films were not good for the DC Comics, he still felt angry. "Thor got $600,000 on the first day, while "City of Chaos" only $22.8 million."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Murphy Stanton is not invincible either."
Bruce Rosenblum smiled and did not agree with Diego Harris' words. His view was just the opposite. Marvel superhero movies may fall apart this time and slow down their rapid development. Maybe it will give DC superhero movies a chance to surpass them.
"Diego, have you noticed?" he asked.
"What?" Diego Harris asked in confusion, "What should I pay attention to?"
"Thor's first-day box office is indeed higher than "City of Chaos." Bruce Rosenblum said lightly, "but the current box office calculation rules are to include the box office in advance."
Diego Harris immediately understood what Bruce Rosenblum meant and said, "Thor's box office was nearly twice as high as "City of Chaos", with a gap of nearly $3 million, while the gap between the two sides on the first day's box office was less than $1 million..."
Bruce Rosenblum nodded slightly.
"That is,..." Diego Harris continued, "get out Thursday's early game, and in a day Friday, "City of Chaos" will be higher than "Thor"?"
"Isn't this very obvious?" Bruce Rosenblum thought for a while and said, "Thor is an adapted movie, and "City of Chaos" is an original movie..."
When it comes to original movies, Bruce Rosenblum's face changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. "It is normal for Thor to have a higher box office in advance than "City of Chaos."
Diego Harris fully agrees with this point. The original movie was relatively average at the beginning of its release.
Bruce Rosenblum said with great certainty, "So, this Marvel superhero movie may be in great trouble, and our chance to catch up is here!"
He said again, "Have you seen the specific word-of-mouth statistics?"
Before Diego Harris answered, Bruce Rosenblum pushed him a piece of information, and then said, "I got the latest statistics this morning! In terms of audience reputation, cinemasore Cinema audience ratings, "City of Chaos" is the highest 'a+', and "Thor" only 'b'..."
Bruce Rosenblum didn't say much, but Diego Harris opened the information and looked carefully. This was a relatively complete statistics on reputation and ratings.
As of this morning, 35,898 users on "City of Chaos" imdb have scored 8.7 points, while 21,578 users on "Thor" have scored 7.2 points.
In terms of Rotten Tomatoes, "City of Chaos" includes relevant comments from 75 media and film critics, with a positive review rate of 86% freshness, with an average score of 8.2 points; "Thor" includes comments from 42 media and film critics, with a positive review rate of only 61%, which is only one step away from rot, and a failed score of 5.6 points.
Authoritative media comprehensively evaluated the revenue of metac Japanese media, "City of Chaos" received an 8.1 score; "Thor" failed 5.4 points!
Currently, there are statistics on the popularity of social media and the Internet. On Facebook and Twitter, the number of reposts related to "City of Chaos" is 225,577, while "Thor" only has 101,211.
On Google, the number of searches for "City of Chaos" was 657,856 times, and "Thor" was 333,578 times, and the gap between the two sides was also obvious.
Diego Harris is not difficult to find that if you only watch the first day's box office, "Thor" seems to be the same level of film as "City of Chaos", but based on the reactions from all aspects, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that "Thor" and "City of Chaos" are not the same level of film at all.
For some reason, he thought of "Batman vs. Superman" from "Thor", which also had a box office debut on the first day, with a bad reputation in the market, and then...
Diego Harris immediately realized that "Thor" is very likely to be a situation where he opened high and closed low.
In this information, most statistics are not good for Thor, with only one aspect being the exception.
In terms of early stage and Friday's first day, Thor's audience accounted for more than 60% of the audience under the age of 18, while "City of Chaos" is less than 40%.
It is obvious that Thor is more popular with minors than City of Chaos.
"It is foreseeable..." Diego Harris closed the information and said, "Thor's box office will soon fall, and it's best to let it lower the audience's expectations for "Avengers."
In order to increase the topic of "Thor", Marvel Studios has announced that "Avengers" will be released next summer, and Thor will be an extremely important member of it.
If Marvel Comics' "Avengers" can hit Marvel's entire superhero movie series, it will inevitably frustrate Marvel's entire superhero movie, and DC superhero movies will have more opportunities.
"Now on the Internet and the media, negative comments about Thor are flying everywhere." Bruce Rosenblum keenly noticed something, "There must be someone behind it."
Diego Harris could guess some of Bruce Rosenblum's thoughts and asked, "How do we do it?"
Bruce Rosenblum raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Join to suppress Marvel!"
Soon, the two agreed to appropriately use some resources under Warner and DC Comics to continue to fan the flames of "Thor"'s negative reputation.
After Diego Harris left, Bruce Rosenblum took the information and saw the almost explosive reputation of "City of Chaos", an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
He watched the film when it was pre-showed. After watching it, he only had one feeling. This was very similar to the Batman adaptation project that Murphy Stanton showed to Warner Bros. and the senior executives of DC Comics. Perhaps to avoid Batman's copyright issue, the story has changed dramatically from what he had seen at the beginning, but the core of the film did not change to overcome fear and find himself!
What would have been the effect if this story was put on Batman?
There is almost no need to think carefully. With the blessing of Batman's halo, the first day of this film's box office will probably be higher!
When Murphy Stanton received that information, he was the only senior executive of Warner Bros. and DC Comics who watched it carefully. Bruce Rosenblum knew very well that compared to the latter two, the first part would have to explain the origin of the protagonist, which would be subject to certain restrictions, so the story was not particularly exciting, but even if the latter part was only an outline, it could still show Murphy Stanton's ambition and ambition.
If these meant huge risks at that time, then now "City of Chaos" has a very good reputation and audience reputation. Does that mean that the following one will be more outstanding?
Bruce Rosenblum could not help but think so. After all, the story outline and script settings left a deep impression on him. Murphy Stanton just took out some scraps from these and created the great glory of "Body of Steel"!
Sitting on the spacious office chair, Bruce Rosenblum suddenly felt that throwing away the cooperation with Murphy Stanton was perhaps the biggest wrong decision in his life.
Of course, he could not change this decision at will, otherwise he would not want the majesty and face of the CEO of Warner Bros.?
Let's take a look. If the subsequent development of the DC Superhero series is not smooth, Murphy Stanton's second part will be successful, and people may be able to get in touch with Bill Roses.
With a long sigh, Bruce Rosenblum put away the information and threw it into a not-used file cabinet. He decided not to consider these troubles for the time being. Now the troubles should be the senior executives of Marvel Comics, not Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
Starting from Saturday, a large number of negative reviews about Thor have appeared in traditional paper media, and the negative reviews of this film have spread to every corner of North America in an instant.
"Mr. Stan Lee, "Thor" has such a bad review, what do you think?"
The reporters and paparazzi flocked in almost blocked the door of Marvel Studios. When Stan Li entered the company, they were surrounded by them. "Is it a wrong decision to adapt a third-rate comic hero into a movie?"
Faced with all kinds of questions about "Thor", Stan-Li's face turned red and she said loudly, "Who said "Thor" failed? Have you seen yesterday's North American box office statistics? Yesterday's single-day box office champion was "Thor", not other inexplicable movies!"
These questions almost made him angry. He won the single-day box office championship and was questioned. Is there such a thing?
A New York Times reporter squeezed in and said, "The latest attendance shows that today's Thor's attendance has dropped by more than one-third from yesterday without expanding the number of screens!" (To be continued.)
