On the one hand, there are menacing manga-based superhero movies, showing the potential to sweep the army, but encountering a sudden controversy, and the future is cast a shadow; on the other, there is a b-level series of movies that have a weak family but suddenly become a nouveau riche. Yearning for another success, but still lacking confidence, benefited a lot from the news storm, and the prospects are bullish.

Just a month ago, the mainstream media was generally optimistic about the box office outbreak of "Thor". The premiere weekend was even on the same level as $100 million. "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" are not on the same level at all. This contest of disparity in strength is almost true. There is no suspense; but now, the wind direction has undergone twists and turns, then, will the result change?

Magazines headed by "Variety Show" believe that the winner of the opening battle should be "Thor". They believe that this work can achieve a box office score of 93 million to 98 million during the premiere weekend, and it remains the same. The possibility of hitting 100 million US dollars is retained, but compared with the previous strong momentum, the pace is inevitably affected.

The direct reference for this data is the "Iron Man" in 2008. As the first film in the series, it was in a similar situation that year. Robert Downey Jr.'s turnaround battle after years of silence has attracted much attention. At the end of the movie’s premiere weekend, the box office data was 98 million, and the box office in North America was 318 million, and the performance was exceptional.

Now it's the turn of "Thor" to debut. The mainstream media is generally optimistic that it can inherit the fine tradition of "Iron Man", and the total box office in North America is also on the same level as 300 million.

On the other hand, "Variety Show" magazine also believes that the weekend box office of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" should be around 75 million to 80 million.

Two years ago, the fourth part of the series restarted and debuted in the first week of April 2009. The premiere weekend received 70 million US dollars. It was really amazing. Unfortunately, it was dragged down by word-of-mouth and lack of stamina. In the end, the cumulative box office in North America was only Only 155 million, but thanks to the excellent performance of 200 million overseas box office, Universal Pictures still made a small profit, and the fifth part of the series was put on the agenda.

From a professional point of view, the public opinion storm of "Renley vs Chris" looks vigorous, but the energy that can be converted into box office data is very limited.

Firstly, these two men are both rookie actors and their influence is limited. If the "Stand-in Gate" broke the news and the confrontation between Lan Li and Natalie reignited, then the situation may be different; second, Lan Li is only the first one. Three starring roles, the box office bonus is even weaker; thirdly, as an actor, Lan Li's personal charm is not well known, his charisma can not turn the topic into the box office, he is not Tom Cruise.

Professionals believe that the premiere performance of the fifth part of the series can be slightly improved, but the audience base is still too weak, and the news influence is just looking at the excitement, and the substantial benefits are limited. The premiere data is difficult to exceed 8,000. Thousands of thresholds. In the end, the cumulative box office in North America should stand at 180 million, retaining the hope of hitting 200 million.

Objectively speaking, as one of the most authoritative magazines in the industry, "Variety Show" forecasts are relatively objective and pertinent. It does not overestimate "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", nor overestimate "Thor". Based on past performance and overall pattern And the recent comprehensive situation, came to this conclusion. According to their analysis, "Thor" will win the opening battle of this year's summer archive with a small margin, and rely on a strong fan accumulation base to achieve a big win at the total box office in North America and the total box office in the world. .

Strictly speaking, a month ago, the duel between "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" and "Thor" was just a gimmick, and there were not many eyes. Almost no one thought that the two works could be placed on the same level. The competition, especially when compared with the head-on collisions of "Harry Potter" and "Captain America", is really eclipsed.

Now, "Variety Show" has come to such a conclusion, it is already very valuable. Most of the media in North America also agreed with the "variety show" view, which can be said to be the current mainstream view.

Although a small part of the media still believes that "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" may be able to explode more energy during the premiere weekend, and that the premiere data of "Thor" will be relatively lower, and the outcome will be more entangled. A little bit, a little stimulus, but they also have to admit that the analysis of "variety show" is reasonable, and the overall trend is like this.

However, the reason why the opening battle is so compelling is that it is separated from the duel between the two movies, and also from the duel between Paramount and Universal, and it also provides a window for people to see the superhero. The box office trend of the movie this summer. After all, this is the first time after the rise of comics-based films that four and a half works of the same type can be seen at the same time in the same summer file. "Transformers" can only be considered a half. "Thor" as the pioneer of the first shot, the strategic significance is naturally extraordinary.

It is no exaggeration to say that as time approaches, the nation's sights are focused on the opening battle. Amidst the hustle and bustle, April 27 has already arrived!

April 29th, 2011 is Friday. This is the last weekend of April and the first weekend of May. Strictly speaking, this is the last weekend of the spring season and the arrival of the summer season. The last weekend before, the next week, the curtain of the summer vacation will be announced, and the battle between the heroes and the gunpowder is full of smoke.

According to the trend of previous years, this is the calm before the storm. The North American market this week will be relatively deserted; in sharp contrast, the media will be relatively lively, and the flying news will continue to warm up for the next summer. ; Even the movie theaters are waiting, looking forward to the wild bombing of the summer files starting next week.

But this year is a little different. To be precise, April 27th, 25th, Monday, the entire North American continent, with Hollywood as the center, the craze began to spread quietly, and countless media reporters swarmed toward Hollywood. However, the popularity of online discussions remains high, and movie lovers are eager to try.

Because, on April 27th, "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" will have a grand and grand premiere at the Chinese/National Theater in Los Angeles! The war has started, who can have the last laugh? What kind of attitude will this matchup end with? What impact will the result of the matchup have on the next summer vacation?

Looking forward to it.

As a senior agent, Andy Rogers naturally knows what the opening battle means this time. At the beginning, he chose "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5". The original intention was to let Lan Li test the water and see his performance in commercial films. At the same time, it also improved his popularity and recognition. Everything is now developing according to plan. The film has not been released yet, and the name "Len Li-Hall" has been widely spread. This is a good thing.

However, Andy is expecting half and worrying at this time. As long as he thinks of the chaos this time, he feels a pain in his temple.

Chris Hemsworth is Renly’s former roommate, he knows; Chris and Renly have had an unpleasant relationship, he knows; Chris’ agent, Fisher Morgan, intervenes in the audition of "evil boss" , He knows; Fisher once contacted Renly, but was rejected, he also knew.

But Chris stole Lanly's script and successfully got the role of Sol? He didn't know at all!

After the news came out, Andy was completely killed off guard. Even though he had experienced countless winds and waves, he was still frightened, but Lan Li still looked calm and breezy. Thinking of this, Andy felt a little embarrassed. His cardiovascular system was already bad, but now he still has to endure this sudden stimulation? Really...

Take a deep breath, all the turbulent thoughts in his mind are eliminated, and he calms down again, and Andy begins to explain, "Today's premiere, things have been explained..." The sight was from the tall palm tree outside the car window. She took it back and threw it towards Lan Li, and then her voice stopped abruptly, and she didn't get angry.

Lan Li leaned on the back of the back seat of the car, his eyes lightly closed, and he was closing his eyes to rest. The window of the car at hand opened a slit, and the sun and breeze came over, and the outline of the face was outlined, and he seemed contented. Relaxed and comfortable, as if not going to the premiere scene where he was waiting for him at this time, but to vacation in Malibu, a beautiful spring and breezy spring.

He blocked his throat~www.novelhall.com~ and burst into laughter. This is Lan Li, he has long been accustomed to it, the unchanging calmness and elegance of Tai Shan collapse, showing the maturity and wisdom that come from completely different ages. Therefore, even in the face of media bombardment, he can deal with it freely; therefore, even in the face of a sudden news storm, he can also handle it; naturally, even in the face of the premiere of the storm, he can also Close your eyes, rest and adjust peacefully.

Andy suddenly realized that he didn’t need to explain the precautions. For example, he and Universal Pictures’ publicity team had already greeted them in advance, and today’s premiere will not be a problem; for example, he and Universal The management of the film industry also said hello in advance, and Van Diesel will definitely not have a moth today...

When the words reached the lips, they swallowed them all at last, "Len Li?" Andy shouted again, and continued without waiting for Lan Li to answer, because he knew that Lan Li must be able to hear him, "I seriously think you should Hire a manager. After a while, I will give you a list of candidates, and then you can add some more candidates yourself. Pick one."

If Renly was in Los Angeles, it would be easy to handle. When an unexpected situation arises, he can show up in time; but Renly is in New York, and Andy knows that, no matter how he persuades, Renly will not agree to come to Los Angeles. . Therefore, the manager becomes more and more important. Nathan alone is not enough.

Silence, or silence. Andy was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly. After about three seconds, Lan Li said, "...Okay, I see."

Andy nodded and looked out of the car window again. After this turn, the spacious street suddenly became narrow, because the sight was full of people. There are so many people.
