Chapter 292 The Media Shocked
To be honest, the general public and the media are a little confused about this Friday's box office data.
December 12 is the first day of the Christmas holiday, and it is also Friday. Many people are actually anxious to go home.
Either on the way home, or on the way home, not many people are willing to go to the cinema to watch a movie.
According to the law of the box office market in the past few years, the box office on the 22nd and 24th will not be too high, and everyone is still in a state of rush before the festival.
The real box office peak will appear between December 12 and January 25 of the following year, because that is the real holiday enjoyment.
This is actually somewhat similar to the Spring Festival stalls.
A few days before New Year's Eve, people are rushing home, so the movie box office will not be so high.
But on the first day of the new year, everyone is free, and the box office of the movie theaters naturally soars!
Everyone thought that Tom Hanks' box office champion in the first weekend was rock-solid, and he would fight "I Know Women's Hearts" in the next weekend, which is Christmas week.
At the time of prediction, no one professionally counted "Legally Blonde" in the shortlist for the championship. Everyone thought it was just an embellishment, a dessert, not a main dish.
After all, Eve Campbell's fame and status are far behind the two top superstars.
The romantic comedy "I Know Women's Hearts" with an investment of up to 7000 million US dollars stars the famous Mel Gibson. A capable person who writes, directs and acts on his own.
The "Lethal Weapon" series made him the most popular sex-sensual action actor. In the "Patriot" released this year, he even became the highest salary for an actor with a salary of 2500 million US dollars. set a record.
Tom Hanks' resume is even more gorgeous. He is the most popular actor in Hollywood audiences, not one of them.Even if it's not a top-notch handsome guy or an action star, the movies are almost all literary films, but these don't affect the box office revenue.
Now at the age of 50, he has entered the stage of becoming a god, and he is the top celebrity in Hollywood.He can be affectionately called "American Dad" by Americans, one can imagine how much everyone likes him.
On the other hand, Eve.
It's just a fresh female star.
Her box office and the movie with the highest reputation are nothing compared to those two big guys, and she didn't even make it into the top five box office.
It was such a war that seemed to have a huge disparity in strength, but there was an accident.
"I Know Women's Hearts", which was supposed to be the opponent, unexpectedly withdrew from the championship and runner-up competition, but the romantic comedy starring Eve was favored by female audiences because of the subject matter and was able to turn around.
Among the viewers of "Legally Blonde", the number of female viewers accounted for 61%, and the male viewers only accounted for 39%, the proportion is very different.
Even some male audiences were forcibly taken by female audiences, which made the market see clearly the consumption power of women once again.
Mainly, Eve's movie is not only a romance movie or a comedy movie, but also has an inspirational atmosphere. At the same time, it also exposes social phenomena, which makes many female audiences feel the same way, and has vaguely become a movie-watching trend.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for the box office to explode. It mainly depends on the stamina. Only female audiences are not enough, and male audiences must also be attracted, otherwise the ceiling is very low.
Looking at any blockbuster movie, if it is only aimed at a single-sex audience, it will not go far at all.
In fact, the success of "Titanic" proves that, in fact, many male audiences will also enter the cinema to watch love movies.
Along with the box office on the first day, the emaScore score was also released. Eve's movie actually got an A-, which is very rare for a romantic comedy. Usually, movies with an A- rating in theaters generally have a stamina of around 3.6, which is quite high. good.
Surprisingly, the CS score of "The Rest of a Deserted Island" is only B, which is a bit puzzling.
Even last week's champion "I Know Women's Hearts" only has a B+, which is considered to be a category with poor reputation.
The audience's thinking was completely different from the professionals' assumptions. The CS score was the most important indicator for predicting the box office trend. As a result, Eve was ahead in this indicator.
The box office prediction model is not 100% accurate, and every year there are several dark horse movies. Obviously, Legally Blonde is such a dark horse, leaving no room for professionals!
"If you look at it purely from the CS score, maybe Tom Hanks' movie will be overtaken by Eve. It depends on whether it can make breakthroughs in the next Golden Globes and Oscars."
"Would this be the lowest CS score for Hanks in recent years? Commonly speaking, this should not be the case. The film's IMDB score is 8 points, and professional film critics also have 78 points. Hanks' performance is as usual. Superb, how could the audience score such a low score?"
"Is there an error in the scoring statistics?"
"Based on this rating, the stamina may not be very good."
"Eve has already exploded in four or five movies in a row. It's too powerful. It reminds me of Tom Cruise in the 80s and 90s. She continues to explode like this. She should be a stable front line now. There are rumors Said that this summer signed a contract with DreamWorks for a total of 3000 million U.S. dollars for three films. Now the salary should be higher."
"Look, she alone occupies two of the top five box office lists this Friday. "Almost Famous" has been in theaters for a month, and the single-day box office still has 300 million US dollars, and the total has reached 1.9 billion dollars, it seems that the annual crown is really stable!"
"At the beginning of the year, Eve's "The Girl Who Moved Soul" surpassed [-] million in the world, and the summer film "Mulholland Drive" surpassed [-] million in North America. Now "Almost Famous" is close to the top of the year. "Pretty Woman" has another chance to grab the box office champion in the last weekend of this year, it is indeed a big explosion."
"What's in store for her next year? This girl is incredible."
After careful calculation, the relevant people realized that Eve is really a model worker. Four movies are released a year, and almost all of them are big sellers. This kind of achievement is hard to find in her predecessors.
The popularity of female supporting awards in the awards season is not as direct as the box office, because many people actually think it’s no big deal, they almost only look at the results of the Oscars, and these processes in the middle are not important.
With the two movies released in November and December, Eve has established a record that is unmatched by her peers!
For the box office, there is the North American Annual Championship; for awards, there is the Screen Actors Guild's Female Supporting Role. They swept the awards season all the way, and they could hardly find any opponents.
Everyone suddenly discovered that Eve didn't have any shortcomings.
He has both literary and commercial films, as well as personal fashion magazines and endorsements. When he is on a talk show, he is neither humble nor arrogant.
The only □□ has been clarified a long time ago. Almost no actresses of the same age can compare with her, and she is almost on the same stage as the actresses born in the [-]s!
People in the industry are all surprised by Eve's rise, but ordinary viewers are not surprised by this result at all, but there are more people who are surprised.
"I haven't seen it in the cinema yet, is Legally Blonde really that good?"
"I saw a Tom Hanks movie yesterday, and it was a really good movie, but he was alone for two-thirds of the time. I think this type of movie is suitable for watching at home on video, and there are a lot of people in the audience. I have similar feelings, so it is not suitable for theaters."
"Highly recommend you guys to watch Eve's new movie, it's so funny! My friends and I had a stomach ache from laughing, and we're going to take the family with us at Christmas."
"It seems that the movie is very popular, I hope the quality is good, and I will watch it when I get home."
"Eve is amazing and does a great job of playing an unlikable character. This is the best movie I've seen this year."
"All the boys, all the girls, you should go see this movie! Don't live for others, live for yourself."
"There are so many misconceptions about blonde girls, I hope Eve's movie will make more people realize this. I have already recommended it to everyone around me, don't miss it!"
"My parents didn't know who the girl was and they were going to see a movie starring Tom."
"It may be that the publicity is not in place. It seems that the word-of-mouth of "The Rest of the Deserted Island" is very good."
"I agree with the previous reply. "Cast Away" looks like a modern Robinson Crusoe. I would rather lie on the sofa and watch it slowly than sit in the movie theater. Maybe this is why the theater has a bad reputation reason."
There are a lot of related news and discussions on the Internet, which also makes the two films spread rapidly.
If only "Rest of a Deserted Island" won the championship strongly, the topic level would definitely not be as big as it is now.
Now that it is a holiday, film and television gossip lovers who don't need to hurry have begun to pay attention to who can win the top spot in these two movies!
Although the media workers are also on vacation, there are still staff on duty. They saw the business opportunities, so they launched related reports one after another, making the championship contest more popular.
