    As the crowd walked out of the Kodak Theater, Emil felt lost. He turned his head and looked at the huge poster hanging high at the main entrance. Prince Arthas raised his warhammer and shouted angrily in the burning Stratholme, preparing to attack his enemies.  Revenge, but into the abyss of fate.  "What are you watching?" his companion reminded him, "it's getting late, we should leave." By now, Emil's dissatisfaction with the film had all disappeared. Although the film barely mentioned his beloved tribe, it was far more exciting.  It far exceeded his highest expectations. Even though the dark ending was depressing, it did not weaken his view that this film will definitely be a classic.  "Wait a moment." Signaling his companion to wait, Emil took out his phone, edited a message, and uploaded it to his Twitter and Facebook.  "A great work, instead of struggling in literary films, it is better to raise the level of commercial films like "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince"! The film not only captures the feeling of a classical tragedy, but also borrows the character of Arthas Menethil.  , vividly reflects the contradiction between good and evil in people, and the most important thing is that the movie is impeccably beautiful!¡± After sending it, Emil found that his companions were doing the same thing.  "For such an excellent movie as "World of Warcraft: The Wrath of Princes", no amount of praise is superfluous!" As the night went on, silence returned to the busy Kodak Theater, and Kenneth Turan chatted with his old friend  De McCarthy waved goodbye, got into his car, and told the driver to go home directly.  He opened a small notebook. Although professional film critics have declined, for some reasons, he has still contributed to the Los Angeles Times. Watching movies and jotting down notes has been a habit he has developed over decades.  Frankly speaking, before attending the premiere, he was not optimistic about the film.  After all, there are very few examples of movies adapted from games that are truly successful, and it is the first time for director Natalie Portman to direct this type of film. Even if she is the first female best director in the history of the Oscar, she still needs to  I slowly accumulated experience in commercial films.  Although he is a professional, Kenneth Turan never thinks that commercial films are simple things, especially commercial films with large investments and large productions. A little carelessness can turn into a disaster. Making such films requires far more caution and care than movies.  difficulty!  What he didn¡¯t expect was that the film was unexpectedly brilliant, and Ryan gave his best performance in recent years.  Natalie Portman has completed a masterpiece.  With the help of the records in his notebook, Kenneth Turan recalled the film and wrote the first draft of the film review that he would submit to the Los Angeles Times later.  "If you say that "World of Warcraft: The Wrath of Prince" is the most sophisticated and ambitious work in this genre, then it is by no means an exaggeration. In terms of design conceptualization, script creation, actor performance and director production, it surpasses all  Game-adapted movies, if measured from the perspective of magical epics, can even be compared with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. "This film, directed by Natalie Portman and starring Ryan Jenkins, is a dark film.  , complex and unsettling movie, because it shows the complex side of human nature in front of the audience, rather than just creating an image symbol of wielding a warhammer. This difference may be to those game fans who are looking forward to it.  Say, there is no big difference, but I can say here - "World of Warcraft: The Wrathful Prince" is the first game-adapted movie that has truly achieved a huge artistic achievement. "At the same time, sail to Saint Mo!  In one of Nica's cars, Todd McCarthy was doing almost the same thing.  "World of Warcraft: The Wrathful Prince is no longer just a game movie, Natalie Portman gives Ryan Jenkins' Arthas a soul and becomes a compelling tragedy. It creates something we care about.  character. This is because of Ryan's performance and writing, because of Natalie's direction, and because of the ultimate technical quality of the entire production. "This is a great, popular and profound commercial masterpiece.  Packed with so much content that it's an exciting roller coaster ride that's simultaneously epic, cataclysmic, and kid-friendly, World of Warcraft: The Wrath of Princes takes the genre to a very high level.  "The long night slowly disappeared, and the rising sun climbed up into the sky, illuminating the Disney headquarters building. Ryan walked into his office and sat on the comfortable boss's chair. The first thing he saw was the  Midnight box office statistics on your desk.  Seeing the numbers above, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, it seemed a little better than expected.  The door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Nicole, who was wearing high heels, walked to the opposite side of the desk, pulled out a chair and sat on it. She took the coffee cup in front of him directly and said unceremoniously:Take a big mouthful.  She had just put down her coffee cup, and before she could speak, there was a knock on the door. Charlize Theron walked in. She was slightly startled when she saw Nicole, then smiled at her and sat on the sofa beside her.  Go up, take the phone on the coffee table, and call the secretary desk.  "Two cups of coffee, no sugar added, thank you!" "Why are you here?" Ryan couldn't help but frown.  "I invested a lot of money in this film" Nicole didn't watch Charlize Theron at all, and also frowned at Ryan, "Of course I have to come and see the latest market reaction." "Me too.  "Charlize answered.  The knock on the door rang again, and two young ladies walked in one after another. The secretary in front was carrying coffee, and Natalie in the back She couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Nicole and Charlize.  "Sit down." Hearing Ryan's voice, Natalie glanced at him sideways, walked to the other side of the room, and sat down opposite Charlize.  The secretary was very smart and quickly fled the office after putting down her coffee.  "I believe you all came here for the same purpose." Rubbing his forehead, Ryan didn't bother to say anything nice about the scene. He directly picked up the statistics and said, "The box office of the midnight show was okay, slightly better than expected.  , 18.5 million US dollars were recorded in North America, and there are no specific statistics from overseas.¡± After Ryan¡¯s words, the two investors and the other director could clearly see that they were relieved.  But there was also a slightly awkward silence in the office.  "If you have time." Faced with this situation, Ryan had no choice but to suggest, "We can go out together and see Disney's newly renovated employee entertainment hall." "No need!" Nicole was the first to stand.  He got up and walked out of the office without looking at the people on both sides.  ¡°I still have to prepare for the promotion of the movie.¡± Natalie left without looking back.  Only Charlize was left. The South African diamond shrugged at Ryan, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Sorry, honey. I have to go back to CT headquarters." The sound of high heels disappeared, and calm returned to the office.  .  Starting today, Friday, "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" will be released in 94 countries and regions around the world at the same time. In North America, 4,366 theaters will open at the same time, setting a record for the largest release this year.  The North American midnight box office of US$18.5 million is not outstanding, and cannot even be compared with the last two parts of "The Twilight Saga". However, it is very rare for such a game to be adapted into a movie.  According to Ryan and Disney¡¯s expectations, ¡°World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Prince¡± will be considered qualified if it can get $15 million in midnight box office.  After midnight show.  Although some die-hard game fans criticized the movie for not respecting the game settings and the adaptation was a mess, these voices are only a minority among the minority, and the overall audience reputation of the film is excellent.  Especially in the afternoon, the latest survey statistics show that the audience rating of "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" has remained at an "A+" state.  On the Internet, Ryan-Disney Online¡¯s fan score is as high as 96 points.   From the novel that was first published in Vanity Fair to the Blizzard real-time strategy game and online game that has been fully developed, the "Warcraft" series has been born for more than fifteen years.  Such a long period of time is enough to cultivate a large number of fans, which are the foundation and obstacle to the success of the film.  Just like what happened to the "Lord of the Rings" series at the beginning, if the quality of the film is not up to par, under the criticism of a large number of fans, the large investment in the film will only turn into a complete disaster; but with the quality assurance of the film, it can also  When it can meet the needs of the vast majority of fans, it will generate strong audience reputation and market response.  In one day on Friday, "World of Warcraft: The Wrathful Prince" earned US$67.16 million from North America, with a single box office of US$15,384!  This achievement seems to be nothing more than this after entering the second decade of the 21st century, but don¡¯t forget that there are no high-ticket 3D versions of the film. Except for the IMAX version, most of them are ordinary movies with a ticket price of 7 US dollars.  2d version!  On the second day, although the North American box office dropped by 29%, it still received 47.65 million US dollars! ? And Sunday¡¯s US$43.59 million pushed the film¡¯s North American first-week box office to a height of US$158.41 million!  This is a height that a movie based on a game has never reached, and it is also a first-week box office performance in North America that a fantasy epic film has never reached!  Compared with Ryan¡¯s home base in North America, the film¡¯s overseas performance was relatively inferior. The first week¡¯s overseas ticket salesThe box office gross was just over US$150 million, and the combined global box office just exceeded the US$300 million mark.  However, compared to expectations, this result is enough to satisfy Ryan and Disney.  In the following time, "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" continued to perform strongly in North America, and even topped the box office rankings for three consecutive weeks in the summer. The film only took 18 days after its release to reach a global box office of 4  One hundred million U.S. dollars!  The film's global screening lasted until Christmas and was a huge commercial success. The North American box office finally stayed at US$534.85 million. The overseas box office was slightly worse, but also reached US$469.7 million.  Income, the total global box office reached US$1.0455 billion.  This box office result is insignificant to Ryan, but it has created a series of records.  This is the highest-grossing fantasy epic film in North America and the highest-grossing game adaptation in North America and the world. It is also the first time that the box office of a single work directed by a female director has exceeded US$500 million in North America and more than US$1 billion globally!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
