It''s not only marvel comics and 20th century fox that are concerned about the films released this weekend, but also Warner Bros. people are staring at Raytheon and chaos City, especially the situation of Raytheon, which is the focus of Warner Bros. senior management. Everyone knows that the more successful Marvel superheroes are, the more incompetent Warner Bros. and DC Comics are.
On Saturday morning, Warner Bros. CEO Bruce Rosenblum did not take a break. Instead, he asked Diego Harris to meet in the company''s office.
"Have you seen the latest box office statistics?" Bruce Rosenblum, sitting in his big office chair, looking across at Diego Harris, asked, "the box office of Thor and city of chaos yesterday."
"Murphy Stanton is suppressed!"
Think of each other at the beginning of the lion big mouth conditions, Diego Harris heart is still a little unhappy, even if Marvel''s film industry is not good for DC Comics, he still has a bad feeling, "Thor" the first day to get $23.6 million, the city of chaos only $22.8 million. "
At this point, he could not help shaking his head, "Murphy Stanton is not invincible."
Bruce Rosenblum smiles and doesn''t agree with Diego Harris. On the contrary, Marvel''s superhero movies may fall apart this time, slow down the pace of rapid development, and maybe give DC superhero movies a chance to surpass.
"Diego, have you noticed?" He asked.
"What?" "What do you pay attention to?" asked Diego Harris
"Thor''s first day box office is really higher than the city of chaos." Bruce - Rosenblum light said, "but now the box office calculation rules, is to include the box office in advance."
Diego Harris immediately understood Bruce Rosenblum''s meaning and said, "the box office of Thor is nearly twice that of chaos City, with a gap of nearly $3 million, while the gap between the two sides on the first day is less than $1 million..."
Bruce Rosenblum nodded.
"That is to say..." Diego Harris went on to say, "without Thursday''s lead time, the box office of" city of chaos "is higher than that of" Thor "on Friday?"
"Isn''t that obvious?" Bruce Rosenblum thought about it 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 slightly changed, but soon returned to normal. "It''s normal that the advance box office of Thor is higher than that of chaos city."
This point Diego Harris fully agrees that the original film at the beginning of the release, the performance is relatively general.
Bruce Rosenblum is very sure, "so, this marvel superhero movie may encounter a lot of trouble, we have a chance to catch up!"
He said, "have you seen the specific word-of-mouth statistics?"
Before Diego Harris could answer, Bruce Rosenblum gave him a profile and said, "I got the latest statistics this morning! In terms of audience reputation, cinemascore scored "city of chaos" the highest "a +" and "Thor" the only "B"... "
Bruce Rosenblum didn''t say much, but Diego Harris opened the information and looked at it carefully. This is a relatively complete statistics of word-of-mouth and score.
As of this morning, 35898 users on IMDB of city of chaos scored an average of 8.7 points, while 21578 users on Raytheon scored an average of 7.2 points.
In terms of rotten tomatoes, "city of chaos" included 75 media and film critics'' comments, with a high praise rate of 86%, with an average score of 8.2 points; Raytheon included 42 media and film critics'' comments, with a high praise rate of 61%, only one step away from rotten, with a fail score of 5.6 points.
In terms of Metacritic media revenue, city of chaos scored 8.1, while Thor scored 5.4!
At present, there are statistics on the popularity of social media and Internet in the two films. On Facebook and twitter, there are 225577 forwarding times related to "city of chaos", while there are only 101211 forwarding times related to "Thor".
On Google, the number of searches for "city of chaos" is 657856, while that for "Thor" is 333578, and the gap between the two sides is also obvious.
It''s not difficult for Diego Harris to find that, if we only look at the box office on the first day, "Thor" seems to be the same level of film as "city of chaos", but it''s not difficult to come to a conclusion that "Thor" is not the same level of film compared with "city of chaos".
I don''t know why, he thought of "Batman vs Superman" from "Thor", which was also the first day of box office success, bad market reputation, and thenDiego Harris immediately realized that "Thor" is likely to be a high open low situation.
Most of the statistics in this material are unfavorable to Raytheon, with one exception.
In the audience statistics of the early show and the first day of Friday, "Thor" accounted for more than 60% of the audience under the age of 18, while "city of chaos" accounted for less than 40%.
Obviously, Thor is more popular with minors than city of chaos.
"Predictably..." "The box office of Thor will soon go down. It''s better to let it lower the audience''s expectation of Avengers," Diego Harris said, closing the information
In order to make Raytheon more topical, marvel pictures has announced that Avengers will be released next summer, and Raytheon will be a very important member of it.
If we can attack the Avengers alliance of Marvel comics, it will certainly frustrate the whole series of Marvel superhero movies, and DC superhero movies will get more opportunities.
"Now on the Internet and the media, negative comments about Thor are flying everywhere." Bruce Rosenblum was acutely aware of something, "there must be someone behind it."
Diego Harris could guess some of Bruce Rosenblum''s thoughts and asked, "what do we do?"
Bruce Rosenblum chuckled. "Join in the fight against marvel!"
Soon, the two agreed to use some resources of Warner and DC Comics appropriately to continue to fan up the negative reputation of Raytheon.
After Diego Harris left, Bruce Rosenblum took that information and saw the almost explosive reputation of "city of chaos", his heart filled with an unspeakable taste.
He saw the film when it was shown in advance. After watching it, he had only one feeling. It was very similar to the Batman adaptation project that Murphy Stanton showed Warner Bros. and DC Comics executives. It was probably to avoid the copyright issue of Batman. The story has changed greatly from what he saw at the beginning, but the core of the film has not changed - victory Fear, find yourself!
What would be the effect of this story on Batman?
Almost no need to think carefully, with Batman''s aura blessing, the film''s first day box office is bound to be higher!
When Murphy Stanton took that material, Warner Bros. and DC Comics'' top management only saw it carefully. Bruce Rosenblum knew that compared with the latter two films, the first one had to explain the origin of the protagonist, which would be limited to a certain extent. Therefore, the story was not particularly wonderful, but the latter one, even if it only had an outline, could also be seen Murphy Stanton''s ambition and ambition.
If these meant huge risks at that time, now that the professional reputation and audience reputation of "city of chaos" are excellent, does that mean that the next one will be more brilliant?
Bruce Rosenblum can''t help thinking that way. After all, he was deeply impressed by the outline of the story and the setting of the script. Murphy Stanton just took some leftovers from it, and cast the great glory of "body of steel"!
Sitting in a spacious office chair, Bruce Rosenblum suddenly felt that throwing away the cooperation with Murphy Stanton might be the biggest wrong decision in his life.
Of course, it is impossible for him to change this decision casually. Otherwise, the dignity and face of Warner Bros. chief executive will be gone?
If the follow-up development of DC superhero series is not smooth and Murphy Stanton''s second film is successful, maybe people can get in touch with Bill rosis again.
With a long sigh, Bruce Rosenblum put away the information, threw it into a file cabinet that was not commonly used, and decided not to think about these worries for the time being. Now it should be the top management of Marvel comics, not Warner Brothers and DC Comics, who are worried.
Since Saturday, there have been a lot of negative comments on Raytheon in the traditional paper media, and the bad comments on the film have spread to every corner of North America almost instantly.
"Mr. Stan Lee, the evaluation of Thor is so bad, what do you think?"
When Stan Lee entered the company, he was surrounded by them. "Is it a wrong decision to adapt a third rate comic hero into a movie?"
Facing all kinds of questions about Thor, Stan Lee blushed and said, "who said that Thor failed? Have you seen the North American box office Statistics yesterday? Yesterday''s one-day box office champion was Raytheon, not other puzzling movies
These problems almost made him angry. He was questioned when he won the one-day box office title. Is there such a problem?
A New York Times reporter crowded over and said, "the latest attendance shows that today''s Thor''s attendance has dropped by more than one-third compared with yesterday''s without expanding the number of screens." (to be continued). )
