The opening box office of "Speed of Life and Death" was very explosive in Asia.

Not only was it the first film to gross more than 3 million in a single day in Hong Kong, but it also set a new first-day box office record in Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island, Singapore and Taitai.

Especially Baodao, an area with a population of only more than 30 million, because of Yin Jun, because the actor Fei Xiang of "The Great Split" is from Baodao, he collectively brushed up the box office, and the box office on the first day was equivalent to HK$5.7 million!

According to the estimation of Yu Zheng and a group of them, the total box office of "Speed of Life and Death" in Asia is likely to exceed 50 million US dollars, winning the second place in film history except for "." - "." has not been released in Asia for four weeks, and the box office has exceeded more than 53 million US dollars, which is really terrifying!

No way.

It's so family-friendly.

Even housewives who don't watch movies much have to take their children to the second and third brushes, and it's no wonder that the box office is not high!

Although the box office in Asia is amazing enough to make people happy, the main battlefield of "Life and Death" is still in North America.

North America is not only the largest ticket warehouse, but also involves the second largest ticket warehouse in Europe and the third in South America.

This is known to "Speed of Life and Death", and "Superman 2" also knows.

On the first day of release on July 17, the two were entangled.

First Day Box Office:

"Superman 2": $7.8 million.

"The Speed of Life and Death": $5.9 million.

This achievement made the two major companies jaw-dropping.

Not surprisingly good, but surprisingly bad!

"Speed of Life and Death" is a little better, people "only" have more than 3,000 screens, but your "Superman 2" has more than 4,000 screens, why did it sell for 7.8 million US dollars?

You know, the best reference ".", 4,700 screens, the box office on the first day is a big explosion of 15.3 million US dollars!

With the data, George Martin really wanted to cry without tears.

This is the disadvantage of two big-publicity and big-budget movies colliding together.

Don't look at the screens that gather almost half of the United States, but there is no room for direct collision, then the market is so cruel.

In today's North America, where it is generally released for about 8 weeks, the box office of a movie's first weekend generally accounts for about one-third of the movie, and at least 20% of the total box office.

So once the box office in the first weekend is not good, then basically fate is decided.

Of course, there are no exceptions.

16 years later, the big ship created such a miracle, and after two or three months of going on a rampage with a poor box office in the first weekend, it achieved a jaw-dropping box office and gained both fame and fortune!

But there is one big ship, and there is only one truck driver.

George Martin hated Yin Jun so much that he said in his heart that if you take a step back and change the date, won't we all take what we need? Why are you so brainless that you have to touch us?

He didn't expect that he had understated how lightly he wanted to snipe "Speed of Life and Death", and he had to be arranged on the same day as others, and planned that if "Speed of Life and Death" was rescheduled, they would also be rescheduled, and they would have to kill them at the same time.

Now that I know that "Speed of Life and Death" is not a good stubble, there is no way to make any more adjustments.

In fact, after "Life and Death" spent $40 million to start promotion, he couldn't change it.

The dignity of Warner Bros. no longer allows him to retreat.

If you bite the bullet, you can only fight hard.

Day 2 Saturday Box Office:

"Superman 2": $9.6 million.

"Life and Death": $8 million.

Day 3 Sunday Box Office:

"Superman 2": $8.5 million.

"Speed of Life and Death": $7.6 million.

At the box office in the first three days of the opening weekend, "Superman 2" was $25.9 million, and "Speed of Life and Death" was $21.5 million.

Looking at this result, George Harding's face was even more dead.

At first glance, "Superman 2" is pressing "Speed of Life and Death" every day, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Speed of Life and Death" is shortening the gap with "Superman 2" every day, and is constantly advancing.

But the number of screens is less than yours, more than 1,000 screens! Such a big screen gap, as a result, was only more than 4 million US dollars less than you in the first weekend three days, which actually shows that the attendance rate and praise of "Speed of Life and Death" as a whole are better than "Superman 2"!

The situation of "Superman 2" is, at most, a smooth advance without sadness or joy.

At this rate and trend, their North American box office exceeds $100 million, which should be no problem.

But again, if they don't fight to the death with "Speed of Life and Death", they are very likely to get 150 million US dollars!

And looking at the fierce pursuit of "Speed of Life and Death", maybe after 8 weeks of release, the box office of "Speed of Life and Death" will be higher than that of "Superman 2"!

It's a shame!

But what can George Martin do about him?

Everything that should be done has been done, Yin Jun is richer than him, Disney and United Arts Films are united, and they are not afraid of him Warner Bros.

In the end, it can only be determined by strength and reputation.

But this aspect is not optimistic.

Now everybody has the stats.

Not only at the box office, but also with word-of-mouth and attendance.

The three-day attendance rate of "Superman 2" is 53%, 64%, and 48% respectively.

The three-day attendance rate of "Speed of Life and Death" was 50%, 67%, and 58% respectively.

In terms of word-of-mouth, the gap between the two is not big now.

"Superman 2" received 69% of the praise above A, "Speed of Life and Death" was 66%, and "Superman 2" was slightly ahead.

However, according to interviews with major TV stations, newspapers and magazines, as well as discussions among people who have usually watched these two movies, "Superman 2" is far inferior to "Speed of Life and Death".

"I watched "Superman 2", and I also watched "Speed of Life and Death". I think the director and crew of "Life and Death" are very sincere, the special effects are well done, and the actors are also very hard-working. In the final tidbits, I also saw the injuries of the two leading actors, which is really hard!"

"Of course, 'Speed of Life and Death' is good-looking! Don't you think? Although only Eddie Murphy knows a little bit about it, this young man Fei Xiang is really handsome! Brave, strong, full of strength and determination...... In contrast, I think the heroine is a bit more vase. But overall it's good, and I'm going to buy tickets for another one tomorrow. ”

"The special effects made with tens of millions of dollars in the digital field are really different! If it weren't for the last tidbits that let us see the process of making airplanes and subway cars, I would have thought it would be true! And Mr. Jun's plot writing is indeed as wonderful as the book he wrote, which is very suitable for our American movie-watching habits!

In comparison, I think "Superman 2" is a bit of a cliché. The effect of special effects, if there is no comparison, then forget it. But compared with "Speed of Life and Death", it is like an era behind, and it cannot be compared at all. There is also the design of the plot, the rendering of the atmosphere, etc., which is really incomparable!

"I'm a designer, so I'm very sensitive to color. Haven't you noticed? Mr. Jun's adjustment and use of color are masters, and the camera he uses is not only a little faster than one or two frames, but also in terms of color, very bold contrast, when the brilliance is slightly brightened, it will make us have a very modern and fashionable feeling, and it looks very comfortable...... "Superman 2"? I'm sorry, if you don't remind me what day it is, I thought it was a work from the 70s!

"I feel very sorry for Fei Xiang! You see that you have been bandaged like that in the hospital! This Mr. Jun is really crazy! No director in Hollywood dares to treat actors like this! But it is precisely this truth that allows us to see the persistence and seriousness of "Life and Death" to the movie. That's why "Speed of Life and Death" is so cool and so likeable. "Superman 2" is as dull as the first part, and I don't like it very much. ”

"Wow, I'm a Bruce Lee fan and I love Oriental kung fu. Although Fei Xiang didn't fight like Jack Chen this time, his every move was very, very crisp, clean and neat, and it wasn't like the action scenes on our side were so cumbersome. I think I'll go back and see it with my good friends!!

Most of the audience who accept the list of evaluations in the cinema are of all ages, and the natural evaluation will be a little more comprehensive and a little more modest.

But most of the audience interviewed were young people.

They are born unrestrained and love the trendy.

Which of the two movies is good and which is bad, you can know at a glance with the eyes of young people.

And young people are susceptible, once the eyes and reputation of the people around them are like this, then others will follow.

They are also prone to impulsive spending.

In addition to the fact that it is easy for girls to watch literary films eight, nine, and twelve or thirteen, then the rest is that young people like to watch movies for two or three times.

So in fact, one of them needs to be used as two movie tickets.

Once it is affirmed by young people, no matter how much the box office of this movie is, it will not be much worse.

But if young people don't like it, and there is an opponent who completely crushes it in the same issue, more young people won't watch this low-rated one - for fear of being called old-fashioned and unsighted by peers and friends.

Today, when Hollywood is paying more and more attention to the tastes of young people, such a series of interviews and evaluations can be said to have set off waves for a while.

No one expected that Yin Jun's first movie would be so solid and popular, especially for young people.

One is youthful and sunny, hot and nervous, and the other is old-fashioned and rustic, with no new ideas.

It's hard to make up for the gap at a glance in other ways!
