In 1997, in the third week of June, "Batman and Robin" and "My Best Friend's Wedding" came together strongly. It is also widely regarded as a weekend that is enough to change the pattern of today's Hollywood movies. 【For more wonderful novels, please visit】
However, when the weekend box office statistics were released, everyone fell through their glasses. I could hardly believe that my glasses were not because the box office was too good, but because the box office was far below expectations, so that people doubted the box office. The statistics are wrong.
"Batman and Robin" was a big hit. When more than 3,000 theaters were simultaneously released, they only handed over 40 million US dollars at the box office. The three-day box office data can only be compared with the "Independence Day" last year. On the first day, the box office of 36 million US dollars was just a contend. What’s more serious is that this work plunged 23% from the box office of 52 million US dollars at the premiere of "Batman Forever". For a sequel movie, it was almost a devastating blow.
Before the film was officially released, people had predicted countless possibilities, but this was the only one that was missed: not to mention that history was created by exceeding "Independence Day", and even the achievements of their previous films could not be surpassed.
In the past month, "Batman and Robin" was almost bombarded. The entire promotion period covered every corner of the North American continent with a carpet-like layout. There should be topics with topics, focus and focus, and enthusiasm. heat.
There is George Clooney for handsome men, Uma Thurman for beauty, Arnold Schwarzenegger for focus, Aziva Gossman for scripts, Joe Schumacher for directors, and original comics for stories. , There is Bruce Wayne on the role, and "Batman forever" on the basis of the masses...No matter from any angle, there is no doubt that this work creates brilliance, even the "New York Post" is bold Predicted, "The only question is: how high can this work reach."
But the fact is, "Batman and Robin" encountered the strongest box office cold air in history. This box office weekend called "June Winter" by the Los Angeles Times was almost disastrous.
Objectively speaking, the weekend box office data of 40 million US dollars is not a bad result for ordinary works. On the contrary, it is enough to win the weekend box office championship in the fierce competition of the summer file. However, for a much-anticipated work, for a work dedicated to breaking records, this result is not only far below expectations, it can even be said to be a complete failure.
This puzzling ending for countless people immediately aroused heated discussions among the media and audiences. After investigation, it was discovered that everything actually had a source: because this is really a terrible work.
The media review was only twenty-five points, which attracted a lot of criticism. Roger Ebert even commented, "This may be one of the worst comic-based films in film history, and even "one of" It’s no problem to remove it."
In film reviews, it is generally commented that not only the story is too mentally retarded to be tolerable, it is completely the kindergarten cartoon plot level; and the characters are of no quality at all, even if you leave aside the characterization in the art film, it is different from the original comics. The image here is also very different: the plant girl who always keeps her mouth flat can't even speak of a vase, and the jerky person who is always clumsy at a loss is probably the first villain to be stupidly dead in history. Facial. The smiling, playboy-like Batman looks like a quarterback in a youth campus movie, the Batgirl who is always ignored by the audience but has a sense of presence in untimely circumstances, and Robin who is always at a loss. ...
A sentence from the "Chicago Tribune" represented the aspirations of the majority of film critics, "Batman with a perfect smile looks like an Iron Man with the wrong armor." In the comments, they said that George's rich second-generation temperament is indeed the same Bruce Wayne coincided with each other, but his smile made Batman in the dark Gothic style look like a little guy in the kindergarten playing house games.
Although heroic comic movies have never been directly related to acting skills, the image of Batman created by George has attracted a strong backlash. Not to mention the fans of the original comics, even ordinary audiences are seriously dissatisfied, and they have said that this may be " The dumbest Batman in history".
The theater rating that represents the audience's reaction is only a bad "D-". This is undoubtedly the most terrible bad news. Even if the audience does not buy it, how can commercial blockbusters sell at the box office?
Such a terrible sadness is tantamount to worse for "Batman and Robin". This not only explains the reason for the failure of the box office during the premiere weekend, but also quickly sounded the alarm for the future total box office of this work.
Judging from the movie's single-day box office, Friday's single-day box office was as high as 22 million US dollars, which also shows that the previous overwhelming publicity is very effective, attracting a large number of audiences to enter the cinema for the first time. However, the quality of the movie’s messy mess has dragged its feet. No one wants to go into a movie theater to see a "mentally handicapped" work. Saturday’s single-day box office data plummeted to 12 million U.S. dollars, while Sunday’s single-day data It fell further to 9 million U.S. dollars. Such a downward curve has almost heralded an avalanche of box office declines the following week.
Behind this tragedy at the box office, it is worth noting that even though the previous propaganda battle completely occupied everyone's attention, the box office on the first day was only 22 million US dollars, and it was not even possible to experience the "Independence Day". Comparing the box office on Friday after the outbreak on Thursday, this is undoubtedly the biggest question on George Clooney’s box office appeal:
As the **** of the wind and rain on the small screen. No one will deny George’s charm. Even if compared with Hugo, Brad, Tom, etc., he is definitely not a disadvantage; but if you want to evolve this charm into a driving force for the audience to enter the movie theater, George Obviously, there is still a long way to go. He can't even compare with Brad, let alone challenge Hugo's hegemony, which now seems like a joke.
It's like a bucket of ice water, cooling down the overheated brains of Hollywood's major film companies, and questioning themselves, "Can George really compete against Hugo?"
95 million dollars? No, it's forty million dollars.
The premiere weekend of "Batman and Robin" was completely a disaster, especially after the vigorous and uproarious farce in the early stage, the disaster became more embarrassing, even Warner Bros. himself. Panic. There are still some people in the company who are looking forward to the decline of the movie next week, hoping that fans of Batman's original comics can enter the movie theater, but they are doomed to be disappointed. The 70% collapse of the next week has been completely announced. The death penalty for this movie.
Who can think of it? "Batman Forever" created brilliance, but the sequel "Batman and Robin" was nailed to the pillar of shame.
The Avengers, this title has become more and more widespread in the circle as a kind of irony, and even for a long time it has become the title of people in the circle for Joe, George, Arnold, Uma, Chris and others. George is Iron Man, Arnold is the Hulk, Uma is the Black Widow, Chris is Hawkeye, and Director Joe is the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The menacing Avengers only insisted on Friday's premiere day, and then it went straight to the end. Even the top screenwriters in Hollywood can't write it, even better than the return of the "Batman and Robin" king. "Independence Day" is even more exciting.
Interestingly, the premiere box office of "My Best Friend's Wedding" added a touch of black humor to this situation.
This romantic comedy with a cost of only 38 million U.S. dollars was screened in 2,100 theaters, but it delivered an excellent box office score of 22 million U.S. dollars and was still competing with "Batman and Robin". The box office data produced in the same period of strong confrontation is almost amazing.
In addition, in sharp contrast with direct competitors, both the media review and theater scores have achieved overtakes, and there is endless praise for Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. All of this seems to indicate that "My Best Friend's Wedding" has completed an impossible task, as a romantic comedy, in the confrontation with superhero comics and movies, and has achieved victory.
As a reference, the box office of "Life and Death 2" the next week fell by as much as 54%. The box office on weekends was less than US$7 million, and the cumulative box office has just passed the threshold of US$30 million. This also means that the $130 million investment in this sequel movie will be in vain.
Faced with such a situation, it couldn't be easier for the major film companies to make a decision.
Warner Bros. immediately revoked the position of the publicity director of "Batman and Robin" and announced internally that the adaptation of Batman would be put on the shelf, and will not be discussed again in the short term. Barry Meyer even visited the crew of "L.A. Confidential" to express condolences to the crew for their hard work.
Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Sony Columbia Pictures joined forces to ban Uma. After that, Uma fell into a long window of time without knowing the end, so many People almost forget that there was such an actress in the circle.
Even Joe Schumacher, George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger were severely affected. In the next three years, Joe faced a situation where no film could be filmed; after Arnold suffered such a blow, he was completely devastated. In 1994, the "true lie" became his last glory. After that, although he continued to have film contracts. , But the box office results are still not ideal, and it has been silent for many years; after George suffered such a blow, he returned to the field of TV dramas and entered a dormant period again.
The ambition had only just had time to emerge from the tip of the iceberg, and it was ruthlessly extinguished. Is this a tragedy or a comedy? If understood from the perspective of the Avengers, this is actually a comedy.
