Chapter 320 319.Opening champagne in the midfield

  Different from the absolute overwhelming advantage in China, overseas, especially in North America, the box office situation of "Magic Tide" is not optimistic.

First of all, as a veteran series, "Fatal Speed ​​11" has many loyal fans in North America, and the ending of the series is full of gimmicks. It can be said that if there is no "Magic Tide", then there will be no box office champion in North America this year. The question will be "Fatal Speed ​​11".

Secondly, this movie is the finale of the series, but it does not mean that the actors and producers will not shoot. They already have a similar racing movie plan in the future. This movie is the end, but not the end. Therefore, Box office is very important.

In addition, "Magic Tide" is a fantasy epic theme. This theme is not the most popular even in Europe and the United States. Just as some domestic audiences look at ancient costume martial arts and fairy knights and detour, foreign countries also have nausea when looking at knight armor. Especially in North America, where there is no sense of history, the stories around you are more attractive than those distant fantasy. North America itself has a car culture. The first car of young people is very important. Therefore, in In terms of subject matter, "Fatal Speed ​​11" is dominant.

  Finally, the displacement of the film is flawed.

"Fatal Speed ​​11" has 47% of the first day of filming in North America, while "Magic Tide" has only 17%, and there is a 30% gap between them. This is not to say that the quality or reputation can make up for it. .

  If the total box office on Christmas Day in North America is 500 million U.S. dollars, the upper limit of "Fatal Speed ​​11" is more than 200 million U.S. dollars, while the upper limit of "Devil Tide" is 80 million U.S. dollars.

  This can be seen from the pre-sale box office. The pre-sale box office on the first day of "Fatal Speed ​​11" is close to 100 million U.S. dollars, while "Magic Tide" only has less than 20 million.

  North American audiences still lack confidence in "Magic Tide".

  A few hours after "Magic Tide" was released in Jiangcheng, New York in North America also ushered in zero.

  Two highly anticipated movies arrived as scheduled.

  The New York Times even set up a special webpage for the box office competition between the two and updated the box office results of the two movies in real time.

  Just after zero, at the end of the first game, "Fatal Speed ​​11" took the lead with a huge advantage.

In fact, anyone who knows a little about the box office of the movie can see that under such a huge disparity, "Devil Tide" will definitely not surpass "Fatal Speed ​​11". The first day champion is 100% of "Fatal Speed ​​11". .

  At night in North America, twenty-four hours later, on the New York Times website, "Fatal Speed ​​11" had a North American box office of 130 million U.S. dollars, while "Magic Tide" was 40 million U.S. dollars.

  The special thematic studio was presented on the Nasdaq screen. A hostess and two guests chatted about two movies.

"I think what "Magic Tide" lacks is the portrayal of heroes. In the whole movie, we can only see the struggle of ordinary people. We can't see a hero, a transcendent who transcends everyone. There are only martyrs and no heroes. The movie has no purpose, and this is where it fails."

  A guest commented.

"In contrast, "Fatal Speed ​​11" focuses on the relationship between the protagonist and his family. Compared with the relationship between people and the world, those feelings that are too large are those between family members that can move people’s hearts. This is the reason for the success of "Fatal Speed ​​11"."

  Another guest added.

  The hostess with glasses, after hearing the comments of the two guests, looked towards the audience.

  "After listening to the views of the two guests, at this exciting time, I have something special to say."

  She stood up, walked to the side, and opened her mouth to speak vividly in front of the screen showing the real-time box office of both "Death Speed ​​11" and "Magic Tide".

"What's happening now is really crazy. It's in New York, Times Square. It's unprecedented. Let me be more specific. I want to talk to you about success. Everything about success is about growth, inheritance, continuation, and family."

"If you want to succeed, you have to defeat yourself and the glory you once had. If you want to succeed, you have to be knocked down countless times, and you can still stand up with your head up. No one can beat the team in "Deadly Speed". Can interpret all of this."

"Cerell, he is one of the most appealing action movie actors in North America and the world, but despite his resume, he has never realized his dream of being number one at the box office of the year, but he has never given up. ."

"Recalling the past, a few years ago, the box office of "Fatal Speed" was suppressed by the superhero series of movies. Until six years ago, the series with the highest box office was born. In that summer, nothing could stop Cereil and him. "Deadly Speed", even those superheroes mass-produced by the cannery were defeated by him."

"But as we all learned later, in the autumn, the release of two consecutive films made him miss the opportunity to become the annual box office champion. This time, he could not even get second. Worse, he might have missed one and another. There will be no chance."

"Later, there were those popcorn superhero movies. One after another, these movies blocked him like a mountain, and he and his "Fatal Speed" did not stop fighting. Work, he finally defeated his own demons, defeated a superhero movie, and now?"

"We are at the end of the first day of Christmas, the most luxurious period. "Fatal Speed" was criticized by critics before it was released. They thought that the decline of Cerel and his racing movie was obvious, and those critics blindly praised Lu. Kizuna, this director from the East claimed to get the top five box office in movie history."

"But so far, we have not seen the amazing qualities shown by the legendary "Magic Tide", we have not seen the wonderful performance of Lu Zingdai to the audience, and what we have seen is Cereil and his amazing performance. The racing skills bring the audience an audiovisual feast."

"Everything has come to this day. On the day when the box office closes on the first day, the heart demon can be defeated, the dream may be realized, and Cereil and his "Deadly Speed" will prove his strength to the world, and Lu Zie And his "Magic Tide" will become the best backdrop on this road to victory."

   "Let's wait and see, a new legend is born."

  The hostess’s generous statement made many people stop to watch, and the screen behind her showed that in North America, the first day of "Death Speed ​​11" crushed "Magic Tide" and became today's box office champion.

   And just as the speeches and videos that seemed to be announcing victory were circulated on the Internet and were transported to China, the domestic first-day box office statistics also came out.
