After the "Independence Day" premiere, the major media ushered in a blowout of comments. Thanks to the foreshadowing of the past six months, it is obvious that this movie has received unprecedented attention. With just the first batch of comments, there were comments from 31 media outlets.

Among these comments, it is impossible for all the media to give praise. Although there are not many criticisms, they still exist.

"USA Today" stated in the comments, "The plot is so simple that it is almost mentally handicapped. There is really no bright spot at all. From the beginning of the story, the ending of the story can be predicted. Weakness of plot and lack of connotation.

Of course, if you are a crowd of sci-fi movies, you like wonderful visual effects, you love super big bangs and crowded people falling into chaos, you are happy to enjoy the experience of being shocked by the explosion in the cinema... Then you will Fell in love with this movie madly. I am not one of them. "

Although the reviews of "USA Today" are still based on criticism, the score still came to 65 points. It can be seen that they still recognized the level of "Independence Day" as a commercial film.

In addition, the "New York Post" also disagrees with "Independence Day", "Once you experience the most thrilling plot in the movie-our country's landmarks are destroyed like a joke. After that, The entire movie seemed empty and exhausted for two hours. The endless explosion made the story irrelevant, and even the characters seemed dispensable. Even Hugo Lancaster could not save this terrible script. ."

After hitting the lowest score of fifty points, the "New York Post" also stated, "Perhaps after a long peak, especially after the exhausting performance of "Death Row", Hugo needs a period of time. Time to take a good rest, but this time his choice seems to be a bit self-defeating and over-relaxed. Of course, the confusion after the Oscar statuette exists for everyone, and we can’t ask Hugo for more.”

The "New York Post" score is not only the lowest score among the first batch of comments, but they are also the only media to mention the curse of the Little Golden Man. However, this time the "New York Post" said something reasonable. "Independence Day" was originally Hugo's next script after "Death Row". Hugo was almost exhausted in "Death Row" and consumed everything. Energy, only then chose a commercial film. Therefore, the so-called worries of the "New York Post" can not be regarded as unfamiliar.

Coincidentally, "USA Today" and "New York Post" were the two most disinterested media outlets for the premiere of "Independence Day" just before the movie was released. Obviously, they don't have a lot of favor with Hugo. Now that they see the quality of the finished product of "Independence Day", they should be chuckles.

However, both "USA Today" and "New York Post" appeared insignificant in the first batch of comments. After the premiere, the comments of 31 media outlets had the upper hand with praise. The whole film contains more than 80 points of data. It does not look like a professional film review of a commercial film, but an independent film screened by an art theater. This makes the media review of "Independence Day" incredible. Eighty-three points!

This is not normal, absolutely not normal!

But after thinking about it carefully, you can find that this is actually an inevitable result of accident. For a long time, "Independence Day" is not a simple movie. It carries more of the burden of the struggle between the two Hollywood factions: the support group with high investment and high return, and the support group who control costs and return to the origin of the film.

These two factions have completely different views on the issue of the upper limit of actors' pay, the issue of excessive use of computer special effects, the issue of increasing production costs, the issue of the future development of the film industry, and so on. This can be said to be the main theme of Hollywood throughout the past three years.

"Future Water World" is the first work to carry such a heavy burden. As a result, the quality of the work itself is not good enough. Therefore, the cost control group has the absolute upper hand, pushing the "Future Water World" to **** with the attitude of beating the water dog. When "Future Water World" was released, the first batch of media reviews was only 28 points, which can be said to be extremely miserable. This also caused the movie's box office to collapse and slip into a dark abyss. Although the follow-up media comments gradually picked up, and finally the media review of "Future Water World" rose to 46 points, it still didn't help.

The same is true for "Independence Day", but as the "Hollywood Reporter" said, this movie set an excellent example for Hollywood: how to perfectly connect computer special effects with the plot, and then let the computer special effects play a real role. It can be said that, "Independence Day" is the most desirable sample for high-investment and high-return supporters. From the perspective of visual effects, this is an impeccable work.

Therefore, in the first batch of comments, the high-investment and high-return support faction has the absolute upper hand, pushing the "Independence Day" media review by 80 points in one fell swoop, and even ahead of the initial rave reviews of "speed of life". .

Of course, with the advancing of time, it is almost impossible for "Independence Day" to maintain the strength of the first batch of comments, but even so, after the first batch of comments were released, "Independence Day" became completely popular. The enthusiasm for the official release at 0:00 on July 4 continued vigorously.

July 4th is the annual Independence Day holiday in the United States. On this day of each year, the National Day fireworks are the most lively celebration, and it has become a regular celebration. However, this year's Independence Day has added another celebration: go to the cinema as a group to watch "Independence Day"!

Driven by the sensational effect of the premiere ceremony, the box office of "Independence Day" broke out at midnight on the day of the premiere of 4.3 million US dollars, easily breaking the creation of "Batman Forever" last year. The box office record for the midnight show, and it nearly doubled the record.

Subsequently, the program effect of "Good Day Live" and the praise effect of the first batch of comments exploded with endless energy, which directly promoted the blowout effect. The entire Independence Day holiday day, the entire United States set off a movie frenzy. Thursday showed an unprecedented scene of prosperity, the kind of grandeur of the empty streets, even after many years, people still talk about it.

In the end, on Thursday alone, "Independence Day" crazily converged the box office data of 36 million U.S. dollars, making the entire North American market crazy!

36 million dollars!

You know, last week's "Fatty Professor (the. Nutty. after the premiere of the weekend, the box office result is only 25 million US dollars-the box office for a whole weekend and three days; moreover, this result Put it at any time in any previous schedule, you can easily aspire to the championship of the North American weekend box office rankings. But this is only the box office within one day of "Independence Day"!

What does this data mean? Perhaps some clues can be seen after the horizontal comparison.

Prior to this, the North American box office record on the day of the premiere was created by "Batman Forever" in 1995. Two thousand nine hundred theaters were screened, and a single day box office figure of 21 million US dollars was handed over. Dominate the long history of North American movies; the second place was "Terminator 2", which was released during Independence Day in 1991, which swept the box office of 20 million US dollars on Independence Day, which also created a new history of North American box office at that time. .

Before the release of "Independence Day", the "Chicago Tribune" had predicted that the box office of "Independence Day" on Independence Day could be as high as 30 million U.S. dollars. This was considered a joke by almost all media, especially by the "Chicago Forum". "The newspaper" said it more and more like a mockery.

After all, before that, there were only two works that exceeded $20 million in a single day at the box office.

But now, "Independence Day" has created an incredible miracle. The single-day box office not only easily broke the single-day box office record of Independence Day created by "Terminator 2" five years ago, but also easily surpassed the "Batman Forever" "The record of film history created is even more frightening. "Independence Day" has set an almost insurmountable standard-a box office of 36 million U.S. dollars in a single day. Only God knows when this record will be available. be broken!

In just one day, "Independence Day" was born in a devastating posture, almost in a sweeping posture, the conclusion is that the box office of this movie is already unstoppable!

Although many media still said that due to the blowout effect on the first day, the box office pulling ability of the movie during the three days of the weekend has been greatly weakened. After all, the sales capacity of the entire movie market is limited; not to mention that the long-term box office of the movie still depends on the follow-up. Word of mouth, and the level of decline in the second and third weeks caused by word of mouth. Hollywood history has never lacked a box office explosion in the first week, but the box office directly plunged 70% to 80% in the next week, which eventually led to a fiasco at the box office. Therefore, the follow-up performance of "Independence Day" still needs to wait and see.

But soon, "Independence Day" responded to these hesitations and hesitations with an undisputed performance. After Thursday's glory, "Independence Day" immediately broke out with a box office performance of 25 million US dollars on Friday. Although it has fallen by more than 30% compared to Thursday, this performance still makes people can't help but raise their hands to adjust their dislocated jaw.

You know, after experiencing the outbreak that cannot be replicated on the day of the Independence Day holiday, Friday is first a working day, and secondly, the crazy crowd should have waned enthusiasm, but what is the result? Twenty-five million dollars! In just one day on Friday, "Independence Day" still achieved a strong single-day box office of 25 million U.S. dollars. This box office data easily exploded "Terminator 2" and "Forever Batman" without any doubt. Box office data on the day of the premiere.

Even the day after the premiere, the box office data still slams the previous historical record firmly underfoot. This is really crazy. Even the craziest novelist or screenwriter dare not write such a plot. However, the reality happened like this, so unbelievable but unparalleledly real.

Even more frightening is that this crazy box office blowout is not over yet!
