From the North American release of Michael Bay's "Transformers" in July, "Man of Steel" is no longer as popular as before. Daily box office figures have dropped to the million-dollar mark, and some weekdays have even dropped below the million-dollar mark.

No matter how popular the big summer productions are, it is always difficult to get rid of the crazy fast-moving law. More than half of the total box office in North America is often generated in the first few weeks.

"Man of Steel" is no exception. After the cumulative box office in North America exceeded the US$400 million mark, the number of theaters and screening rate in July continued to decline. By the end of the month, the number of theaters showing North American screenings had dropped to 1,200, and the screening rate was insufficient. Five percent has reached the end of the screening.

After a month of long screenings, "Man of Steel" took in more than 37 million US dollars from North America, and the total box office in North America reached 444.55 million US dollars!

When "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3" were dragged down by the audience's word of mouth, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" was no longer as brave as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and "Transformers" was still the first one, etc., 4 The box office figure of 44.55 million US dollars is enough to ensure that "Man of Steel" will take the first place in this year's North American box office list!

This will also be Murphy's first North American annual box office champion since entering Hollywood.

Overseas, since there are no new heavyweight markets to join the ranks of screenings, "Man of Steel" only received a box office revenue of more than 150 million US dollars in July.

However, Man of Steel's global box office total is infinitely close to the $1 billion mark.

As long as the global box office exceeds one billion US dollars, "Man of Steel" will definitely skyrocket, and even the director Murphy will benefit greatly from it.

In August, "Man of Steel" was officially released in Japan, which also became the key to the film's global box office breaking through one billion.

As we all know, the Japanese film market has always been a rather strange place, and no one can measure the audience in this country with general market laws, but one thing is certain, American-style comic book hero movies have never been very popular in this country, even if It is known as the most popular American comic hero Spider-Man in Japan, and the box office figures obtained by the trilogy are not too impressive.

But "Man of Steel" only needs the help of a new market, and does not need a big explosion. Even if the Japanese market is not good, it will have no problem getting a box office of tens of millions of dollars.

There is also North America. Although it has entered the end of the show, it can still contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in box office figures every day. Coupled with the contributions of other overseas markets, by mid-August, the overseas box office of "Man of Steel" has been zero. Suspense broke the billion-dollar mark.

After the third weekend in August, the latest box office statistics of "Man of Steel" show that the North American box office totaled 451.68 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 1 billion 11.59 million US dollars!

After "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", "Man of Steel" has become the fourth movie to surpass the billion-dollar global box office since its birth. off movie.

Murphy is also the fourth director to accomplish the feat.

The most important point is that he is only 27 years old this year, far younger than others, and being young in the eyes of Hollywood and the media means unlimited potential.

There is an inevitable law in Hollywood. When a star or director is going smoothly and continues to achieve brilliant results, the media is basically full of praise.

This time is no exception. The third week of August in North American entertainment media can be renamed "Murphy-Stanton Week."

"Hollywood has never seen a director like Murphy Stanton. Looking at the history of film in the world, there has never been any director who can do such an outstanding job at Murphy Stanton's current age. .”

In just a few years of his career, he has achieved achievements that most directors cannot achieve in their lifetime, but he has never Stop your own footsteps, and the work will prove everything."

Los Angeles Times

"Murphy Stanton's work is a paradox. Despite his gentleness, he has always been extremely bold in his art. He shuttles back and forth between various forms and takes risks. In "Gone Girl," he manages to imbue the comic-book hero with a sense of human authenticity. In "Gone Girl," the qualities of the thriller are used to describe something deeper, deeper."

"Vanity Fair"

"Few directors have done more for film noir than Murphy Stanton, a visionary who loved to push the boundaries of the medium's imagination, articulating his insatiable desires while changing the way we watch movies."

The Miami Herald

Judging from the praise of the media alone, Murphy seems to have become one of the top super directors in Hollywood. In fact, it is not too far behind. The box office and reputation of "Man of Steel" has easily surpassed his reputation in the industry. The status has been greatly improved.

Now that Murphy is a first-line director in Hollywood, I believe that 90% of people will not refute, but nod in agreement.

The frantic media coverage culminated in Time Magazine's inclusion of Murphy on its cover.

Since Murphy was not actually interviewed, the cover capture is a photo of Murphy on the set of "Man of Steel", and the article that matches the cover character is also told from the perspective of a third party.

"When we saw Murphy Stanton on the set of "Man of Steel", we saw a young man full of energy and creative desire. He was tall, strong, handsome, elegant and handsome, and seemed to be a professional He is an actor, but he chooses a director who least needs to rely on appearance."

"When he spoke, his voice was very soft, with a mild accent, and sometimes a little mocking. He took every question seriously, as if he hadn't heard them before, and he didn't have that kind of prior The answers that have been practiced will not be eloquent."

"Like other great artists, Murphy Stanton's thinking about life and the world did not become his burden, but his opportunity, which stimulated his curiosity and stimulated his desire to explore. "

"He's a communicative director, he's smart, he's funny, he's a bit humble at times, and of course he's proud of his films, whether they're dark entertainment or dark, thought-provoking films."

"Although he is already twenty-seven years old, he can still see that kind of childishness and even a kind of innocence."

"However, when we get to work, what we see is a completely different director than when we are free. Murphy Stanton is completely in charge of the overall situation on the set. He said that if there is light, there must be light, no matter the method; At the same time, he also firmly believes that human beings will not suddenly evolve to a certain stage, and then they will hold hands and sing about world peace and harmony in the world in an instant. Peace must be obtained through higher-level armaments and force. This deep-rooted concept gave Murphy-Stanton the The unique elements of the work, deep, dark, serious..."

"In Murphy Stanton's film world, he is the king, and fate accidentally brought this once lost youth into the film world, which undoubtedly opened Pandora's box. There is nothing impossible for him to do."

There is no doubt that the media can guide public opinion. After the media sang praises frantically this time, Murphy's fame and reputation have reached a peak, especially in the industry, and he has firmly stood on the front line.

At the same time, in major cities in North America, various Murphy-Stanton fan associations have sprung up one after another like mushrooms after rain. In the discussion group of IMDB, they have also entered the top ten of all directors and stars in one fell swoop.

Bill Rossis is also extremely busy. Warner Bros. and DC Comics have had a very box office turnaround through "Man of Steel". The new director contract does not prevent other Hollywood film companies from chasing a young director who continues to succeed.

A copy of the film appointments was sent to CAA, including invitations from other five major companies. Murphy also asked Bill Rosses to pick out some good offers and send them to him for review. If there is a suitable type, he would not mind signing it. For a contract, the premise must be that there must be a corresponding director's remuneration.

Since he didn't find out yet, Murphy handed these over to Bill Rosses first, and he was going to participate in an auction with Gal Gadot to bid for the "Flower of Lys".
