Text 1153: Greater than MJ?  (Second update)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ten years ago, a war between humans and zombies spread across the world, almost destroying the entire human world.  While countries around the world are recuperating, a United Nations investigator travels around the world to investigate the living conditions of surviving humans. The media review of "Armageddon" is 62 points, and its Rotten Tomatoes rating is 68%.

    The filming process was full of twists and turns, with several delays in reshoots leading to soaring costs for the zombie blockbuster.  The movie's high box office is naturally inseparable from the media's support, and the mainstream media's positive ratings dominate.

    ""Armageddon" is a real and solid stunt blockbuster. Compared with other works that are called summer blockbusters, it is more worth watching", "It's almost scary to watch", "For those traditional zombie movies,  Said, "The valuable thing about "Armageddon" is that it really creates horror, rather than trying to disgust the audience with blood."  Inexplicable excitement! This is undoubtedly the most terrifying zombie work in recent years." "An entertainment work like hell." "Only Lee Dong-rae + Brad Pitt (the film's producer + starring) can return the focus to  Zombies themselves¡±.

    Due to the blockage of "Zombie Apocalypse", "Monsters University" failed to win the box office championship. Think about the fact that "The Day After Tomorrow", which also focused on apocalyptic themes, was blocked by the animated "Shrek 2" and ranked second. This time it is considered  Revenge.

    But as Disney Pixar¡¯s annual masterpiece, ¡°Monsters University¡± has a strong box office performance over the three weekends. The week after Superman just broke the June opening record in film history, ¡°Armageddon¡± is approaching fiercely.  "Monsters University" opened in 4,004 theaters and collected US$82.42 million in tuition over the three-day weekend.  The score of a single hall is also as high as 20,000 US dollars, ranking second with a slight disadvantage.

    Since "Cars 2" failed in word-of-mouth (although the final box office of 191 million did not meet expectations, it was still the animation annual crown in 2011), the myth that "Pixar products must be high-quality" has been broken, even if Disney Animation in 2012  The studio's two works, "Brave" and "Wreck-it Ralph," have unified the animation world and retained Mickey Mouse's status as the leader, but Pixar's actions are still exciting.

    As we all know, in the current shortage of scripts, mainstream production companies have begun to think about sequels, prequels or story adaptations.  After all, it is always easier to "re-create" based on a certain blueprint than to create something out of thin air, so there have been "odd news" about the explosion of sequels in 2011, and the "strange" situation of sequels to old movies from decades ago!

    For Pixar, strong creativity ensures an endless supply of excellent scripts. This is something that Phantom Li Donglai is also very envious of. There are a group of geniuses who know the best animated stories in the world.  To know.  After the first two "Kung Fu Panda" films he carefully created were released, the third one immediately fell into a story shortage. In addition, Li Donglai recently occupied the schedule and changed to produce "Frozen" and "Dragon Warriors"  If you want a sequel, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until 2015.

    ? Compare this.  It makes Pixar even more valuable.  In addition to the traditional series "Toy Story", Pixar has always adhered to the pace of one original masterpiece a year.

    It was not until the first decade of the 21st century that Hollywood fell into a situation where sequels and prequels were everywhere, and an animated sequel was quietly launched.  However, what is unexpected is that Pixar did not choose the more "international" "The Incredibles", "A Bug's Life", "Ratatouille", "Finding Nemo" or even "WALL-E".  I am attracted by the "American" flavor of "Cars"!

    ¡°Obviously this is a test for Pixar.  Abandoning the previous calm line, completely subverting the style of the original work and choosing to go eccentric.  Unfortunately, the final result was unsatisfactory. The weak box office and the collapse of word-of-mouth all contributed to the demise of Pixar's sequel attempt.

    But Pixar is Pixar, and if the sequel fails, it will be a prequel.

    I think back then, the worldview structure of "Monsters, Inc." made countless people exclaim at the imagination of the creator, but even so, a large part of the box office of "Monsters, Inc." was attributed to the cute human children.  Faced with an audience that is more sophisticated than the Saints, the same tricks cannot be used a second time. "Monsters University" is set in the college years of the protagonists, completely abandoning the human characters, and instead carefully detailing the "Monsters University" of that year.  Monster world view¡±.  From a psychological perspective, many of the children who followed their parents to watch movies 12 years ago have now entered society and even gotten married and had children.

    Truthfulness of the love character's young age is virtually filled with "youth".

    This is why, after 12 years, "Monsters University" can still maintain its strong appeal!  The audience statistics also prove this reasoning. As an animated film that has always been targeted at young people, 40% of the moviegoers are over 25 years old.  Even, there must be different??Friends who still have a childish heart will secretly come back to watch it a second time.

    Another reason why "Monsters University" is so popular is also very simple. Since entering 2013, there has been no high-quality animation work for half a year.

    The only film that can be put on the market, "Jungle Warriors" performed sluggishly, becoming Blue Sky Studio's worst record so far.  Therefore, it stands to reason that after "Superman" and "The Strongest Planet: Lee Dong-rae" teamed up to create a breaking point, the purchasing power of the box office should have dropped significantly, but the animation audience's hunger for half a year still exploded with strong purchasing power.

    Referring to other Pixar works, "The Incredibles" opened with 70.46 million US dollars and finally closed at 261 million; "Finding Nemo" opened with 70.25 million US dollars and accumulated 339 million; "Up" opened with 68.1 million US dollars and closed at  293 million.  Although Universal's animation ace "Despicable Me 2" is about to debut in 12 days, "Monsters University" still has strong box office potential. It is currently aiming for a final value of 250 million. If it can maintain a lower price next week  The drop rate in the next week may hit US$300 million.

    The prosperity of the animation market does not make Li Donglai jealous.

    on the contrary.  He wished he could.

    "Frozen" has come to an end and is scheduled to be released at the end of the year.  He dedicated the film to his two daughters as a birth gift.  But very caring.  How could one not expect the movie to do better at the box office?

    Of course, that¡¯s all.  The audience is also paying close attention to the old movies released last week. "Man of Steel" dropped about 65% this week, only taking in $41.8 million at the box office!

    Although the drop is staggering, the cumulative box office has reached 210 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "Superman Returns" to become the best result of the "Superman Series".  At the same time, due to successive releases in China and other "box office centers", total overseas revenue also climbed to US$188 million.  Successfully approaching the cumulative total of "Superman Returns" of 191 million, "Man of Steel" will be released in Australia next week, followed by Japan, Brazil, etc. There is no suspense about the "best in film history" Superman movie.

    Judging from the current situation, the huge setback of "Man of Steel" in the second week is not due to the quality of the film, but to strong opponents. Therefore, it is still possible to exceed 300 million US dollars in North America.

    And attracted much attention.  Last week's runner-up "Planet's Strongest: Lee Dong-rae's Documentary" dropped 51% this week after its explosive opening weekend of 73.5 million, and still took in a box office of 35.6 million US dollars.  During its two weeks and ten days of release in North America, the cumulative box office exceeded US$109 million.

    Previously, the 2011 music documentary "Justin Bieber: Never Say Die" starring the popular star Justin Bieber, who shot to fame at a rocket speed, beat "Michael Jackson: This Is It" to become the highest-grossing film of this type in the United States.  champion.

    "Justin Bieber: Never Say Die" grossed $72.2 million in the United States.  However, the local box office of Jackson's documentary was 72.1 million.

    Not to mention how crazy Bieber¡¯s classmates are today, Bieber¡¯s proud record has also passed away.  He was defeated by Li Donglai with a score of over 100 million.

    At the same time, overseas box office revenue also reached a cumulative US$168 million.  Among them, the Chinese market once again contributed 265 million box office in the next week, and the domestic hit rate exceeded 515 million in two weeks of release.  The equivalent of nearly $70 million in box office.

    However, the overseas box office record is that "This Is It", a rehearsal for Michael Jackson's concert during his lifetime, attracted US$261 million globally and US$189 million at the overseas box office.  Li Donglai's documentary has surpassed "Michael the God" in total global box office, but the box office record outside of North America is already very close, and it will only be a matter of time before this record is broken.

    A documentary that earned nearly 300 million in box office within two weeks of its release, which shocked moviegoers and fans around the world.

    The media was also in a commotion after hearing the news, especially Asian beauties, who contributed a lot to the box office.  Reporting this information is naturally very positive.  Chinese media reported: "Planet of Gods is the most powerful personal documentary. Within ten days of its release, the box office in North America exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the global box office also exceeded 270 million US dollars, breaking the global box office record for documentaries held by Michael Jackson"

    South Korea¡¯s Chosun Ilbo used the words ¡°unstoppable and brilliant¡± to describe Lee Dong-rae¡¯s current situation.  It also specifically compared the embarrassing incident of Justin Bieber. Last week, Bieber revealed that he drove a popular tricycle onto the sidewalk in his hometown of Canada and passed an old man at high speed.  I was taken to the police station by the police, and I was already in the palace. I was in a complete death rhythm.

    ¡°As for Li Donglai, apart from wearing crimson lace, he doesn¡¯t smoke and basically doesn¡¯t drink.  In a short period of time, he created a huge life wealth of over 10 billion US dollars.  Investments involve mobile communications, casinos, clothing, movies, television, TV stations, music and other projects. He was also the most eye-catching "superhuman" at the London Olympics and was hailed as a "star" by the media."The strongest".

    Classmate Bieber and Li Donglai have a relatively similar history of becoming famous. They both became famous crazily that year.  One is a song "Baby" that became famous on the internet.  One is extremely talented. His first movie had a global box office of over 300 million. A 1VS20 in a WWE ring made him famous all over the world.

    ?Coupled with the fact that they are both young and handsome, many media like to compare the two together.

    ??Bieber is still very popular today, and there are many fans who are crazy about it.  But when compared with Li Donglai, he becomes the complete opposite of Li Donglai.  I don¡¯t know what Bieber¡¯s classmates thought when they saw this.

    Europe, on the other hand, is very cautious. They began to discuss, "Li Donglai's documentary has surpassed Michael at the box office. Has Li Donglai surpassed Michael?"

    This kind of deliberately picking up topics has aroused the dissatisfaction of many Maishen fans. Some angry Li Donglai even publicly abused, criticized and criticized on Twitter and Facebook.

    As we all know, the cost of documentaries recording the life experiences of celebrities is not too high.  And the one who took the big lead was, of course, Li Donglai himself.  If the box office exceeds 300 million, most of it will go into Li Donglai's private pocket.

    ¡°But Li Donglai¡¯s documentary actually surpassed Michael at the box office, which surprised Michael¡¯s fans.

    "Is Li Donglai greater than Michael?"

    Not sure.  "

    Michael has passed away. He is the most indelible figure in the history of world pop.  When it comes to Li Donglai's film achievements, Michael is indeed far behind, but in terms of music and popularity, Li Donglai is still far behind.  But things are so strange. This Asian star, a personal documentary that not many people were optimistic about before, actually broke Michael's record. It's incredible.

    Even Li Donglai himself was very surprised by this achievement. He wrote on his Twitter and Weibo homepage: "I am very proud of the results of "The Strongest on the Planet: Li Donglai Documentary". Thank you very much to the fans for creating it."  It has become the best-grossing personal documentary in history. MJ is always the greatest! What an honor!"

    Some compliments to MJ temporarily stopped the anger of MJ fans.

    Also worth mentioning this week is the animation "Jungle". This new animated film by Blue Sky Studio has finally exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars in box office five weeks after its release. It has recovered the cost of the film but still cannot change the "worst in history"  destiny.

    Under the leadership of "Zombies", "Monsters", "Superman" and "Li Donglai", the top 12 total reached the peak of 310 million US dollars for the third time, directly breaking through the 300 million threshold, the highest since the start of the summer season  Weekend box office.

    This achievement successfully ranked fifth in the single-week revenue list in film history, even surpassing the total market total of "Iron Man 3" in its first week (US$210 million) and "Fast and Furious 6"'s first week of US$249 million.

    This is also the third box office "gao chao" after entering 2013.

    Next week, "White House Down" starring Channing-Tatum will face off against "Dragon Girl", a collaboration between two silly sisters, and Li Donglai has temporarily dealt with the future gifts for his daughters.
