The box office of 33.8 million US dollars on the first day in North America is not comparable to "Fast and Furious 4", but it is considered a success. Matthew is relieved to get this data. The two big productions starring him this year will not be at least not. There was a box office tragedy, compared with the bleakness of "Cloud Atlas", he is definitely a lucky one.

After the premiere day, he specially asked people to count the data of the current theaters. The film scheduling rate of "Cloud Atlas" has already dropped to less than 5%. Most of the theaters are only scheduled for a daily routine due to the agreement. The top three rankings are "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King" and "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs".

As a cartoon, the newly released "Ice Age 3" has a significantly lower rate than the two live-action films.

Although it was released on the same weekend, Paramount Pictures never considered "Ice Age 3" as a rival, and no one thought that several animals would be the opponents of the movie starring Matthew.

Moreover, the feature of this film is very prominent: foot Eiffel, hand holding America.

The toy elite of the past is reloaded, and the international metropolis that has long been riddled with holes on the screen cannot escape the fate of suffering.

For audiences who are familiar with Hollywood movies, secret special forces are not uncommon for a long time. Terrorists are rampant. The top equipment and special effects a few years ago are a bit outdated.

If the "Transformers" series can still work **** deformation, the light model and special effects of "Special Forces", which are light science fiction and heavy action, are definitely not enough to show off their talents.

Therefore, in addition to intermittently inserting the current world situation and increasing the realism of the plot, both sides of the confrontation between good and evil have embarked on the line of the Appearance Association.

The three main protagonists, Matthew, Sienna Miller and Karolina Kokova, have outstanding appearance conditions.

On the other hand, Hasbro, one of the world's leading toy manufacturers, is no longer satisfied with making wedding dresses for other people's licensed toys. It is ambitious to transform itself into a multimedia entertainment factory and rely on its own brand for screen promotion.

The cooperation with Paramount Pictures can be described as a powerful combination. This summer's first blockbuster "Transformers 2" came out and swept the box office. The metal warriors here are still desperately fanning the flames, and the soldiers of "Special Forces" have already begun to frantically seize the market under the leadership of Matthew.

As the ace player of Hasbro, "Special Forces" has been popular in Europe and the United States since its appearance 27 years ago. It not only quickly became the object of imitation by many toy manufacturers, but also developed rapidly. Its influence spanned various fields such as comics and cartoons. Got a lot of fans.

These also laid the foundation for the box office success of "Special Forces: Rise of the Cobra" on its first day.

In fact, the film might have been even higher at the box office had it not been for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been criticized and global anti-war noises.

Of course, such a big summer production with a lot of handsome guys, beauties, explosions and special effects is very popular among movie fans.

After a promotion on Saturday afternoon, Matthew got the latest word-of-mouth statistics for the film.

So far, "Special Forces" has been rated by more than 14,000 viewers on IMDB, with an average score of 7.8, and five media outlets on Yahoo Entertainment have given ratings ranging from "B+" to "A".

However, the reputation of Rotten Tomatoes is still not good. On this website specializing in film critic scores, "Special Forces" is once again marked as rotten, and its freshness is only 56%, but it is voted by ordinary fans and represents the audience. Want to see the popcorn index is as high as 95%.

After experiencing the short-lived Rotten Tomatoes freshness of "Fast and Furious 4", the film starring Matthew continued to run on the road of poor film critics and enthusiastic audience response, and there is a tendency to never return.

In terms of Cinema statistics directly from theater audiences, "Special Forces" has an excellent reputation. Cinema has an on-site survey of 3,560 audiences, with an average score of "A" and a comprehensive evaluation of up to 85 points.

In addition, Cinema has also made a prediction that the North American box office of "Special Forces" is unlikely to exceed 100 million in the first weekend, and the final North American box office is expected to hit the $300 million mark.

These are undoubtedly good news.

Paramount Pictures is also making every effort to mobilize the media to create a better reputation for "Special Forces", especially on social accounts, you can see praise for this film everywhere.

"At the beginning of the film, the audience was stunned by a 10-minute assault battle, and then the cool armor and fighter jets appeared one after another. In the film, two-thirds of the shots are showing confrontation scenes, and stunt pictures emerge one after another."

"The scene is so hot to the end! This film provides a one-stop service for audiences to appreciate Hollywood action techniques, which means that no matter what type of action scenes you like, you can find them in the film, from the unpredictable Star Wars to the smoke filled with gunpowder. The gun-toting actual combat, from the cold weapon showdown of hard bridges and hard horses, to the close-to-hand combat between Matthew Horner and Jason Statham, and even the hammering of two beautiful women with the best body will make you seductive."

If you want a movie to sell well, you must tout it hard, not only Paramount Pictures, but Matthew is also doing similar work.

In order to promote "Special Forces", he quietly leaked out the touts on the Internet, and even stepped on "Transformers".

Compared with Hasbro and Paramount Pictures, Matthew has no worries about accidentally hurting friendly troops.

"Better than "Transformers" 1 and 2 combined - this is the biggest surprise I got after watching "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", I thought it was just a bunch of boring stunts + **** plot. , but under the careful crafting of director Sommers, "Special Forces" with precise rhythm, Matthew Horner's three-dimensional characters, clever suspense and preset baggage for the sequel - and of course, dazzling visual stimuli—a textbook masterpiece."

The success of this film is not only related to Matthew, but also Karolina Kekova, one of the three leading actors, who is also very concerned. She paid a lot to get the role of redhead, and she has already Whether the bleak star path can regain its livelihood depends on the response of this "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra".

On Sunday night, Karolina Kokova stayed up until after midnight, refreshing the page over and over again, waiting for the latest box office bulletin to come out.

Finally, near one o'clock in the morning, she saw the latest statistics on the boxofficemojo website.

The statistics column on the right side of the homepage of the website lists the titles of the top three films at the box office this past weekend and the preliminary statistics of the box office.

The first in line is "Special Forces: Rise of the Cobra"!

In the first three days of the first weekend, the film made 86.7 million US dollars from more than 4,200 theaters in North America, and there is no suspense in the airborne North American box office chart!

In second place was "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," which only earned a first-week box office of just over $40 million.

However, Karolina Kokova heard from Matthew that animated films are all going to be screened for a long time, and the final box office may not be low.

The third place on the box office list is "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King". This film entered its third weekend and won 28.41 million US dollars. The North American box office has already crossed the threshold of 200 million US dollars.

Seeing these statistics, Karolina Kokova felt relieved, took a shower and was about to go to sleep. Before she entered the bathroom, her agent in New York suddenly called.

"KK, I have good news for you." The agent's words were full of excitement, "The operations director of Victoria's Secret called me just now."

Hearing the agent say this, Karolina Kokova's eyes widened, "What did she say?"

The agent immediately said on the phone, "She asked me to ask you, are you interested in the Victoria's Secret show this year?"

Despite guessing that this might be the news, Karolina Kokova took a deep breath and confirmed, "You heard that right?"

"You can't be wrong." The agent is very sure, "Victoria's Secret wants to invite you to this year's Victoria's Secret show."

Karolina Kokova calmed her shortness of breath and asked, "Do I want to participate?"

The manager's voice on the phone suddenly increased, "Go! Why not?" She seemed to be afraid of Karolina Kokova's temperament, and persuaded, "KK, this is not the time to take revenge, wait for you to regain your fame, completely You can negotiate with Wei Mi again, and now returning to Wei Mi is the best choice."

Karolina Kokova was somewhat hesitant, "I just feel unwilling."

""Special Forces" sold so much, which made you famous." The agent continued to say on the phone, "We are now doing both preparations. First, we have a good relationship with Victoria's Secret and strive to return to Victoria's Secret. Secret Angel; second, you continue to develop on the film side, Matthew Horner is key!"

Karolina Kirkova didn't speak, and this time she was able to rise again, really with the help of Matthew Horner's aura.

"I got the news that Hasbro and Paramount are planning to shoot a sequel to 'Special Forces'," the agent urged on the phone, "You have a good relationship with Matthew Horner and try to keep the redhead going. Showing up in the sequel is very good for your modeling career."

"I..." Karolina Kokova was suddenly at a loss for words.

Doesn't that make her continue to negotiate a deal with Matthew Horner? She had just said goodbye to Matthew Horner, and was planning to develop him into a high-quality customer, but she had to take the initiative to send her to the door to negotiate a deal?

The question is that he has used everything he can, will Matthew Horner still be interested?

Karolina Kokova didn't know either, but she understood that to continue the relationship over the past year, "Special Forces" has already had a successful start, how could she give up halfway?
