Made in Hollywood

"From now on, people around the world will be divided into two groups... those who have watched The Fellowship of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring and those who are about to watch The Fellowship of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring. people."

The praise from the latest issue of "The New York Times" has become the best footnote to the movie viewing trend caused by "The Fellowship of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring" in North America.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is an epic fantasy that has never been seen before, transcending racial, linguistic and age barriers, and reaching every imaginative audience in America."

Even the "Washington Post", which has never dealt with Duke very much, praised the film.

"There is a movie that is doing miracles called "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", and there is a group of people who go anywhere and can detonate the eyeballs called The Fellowship of the Ring!"

Since the film's release, the Los Angeles Times has not skimped on praise.

These are the boosters for the film to attract audiences. In the following days, Duke led the entire crew to run announcements in North America. Since "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" won 200 more premiere theaters, he The Internet Navy stopped the attack on "Pearl Harbor" and turned all of its energy to building momentum for its own film.

Similarly, some protests against the film have gradually come to an end.

On the Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles, Chrissy looked listlessly at the sparse people behind him, and did not bother to raise the sign in his hand. With such a small number of people, even if they raised the sign of protest, how many people could they attract attention?

After Brad Miller's withdrawal, the number of protest groups he led has been shrinking, and many people went into the theater to watch movies out of curiosity. More than 90 percent of the people who have watched the movie Jiudu withdrew from the protest. In less than a week, the number of people standing behind him has shrunk sharply from more than 500 to less than 40 now.

"Boss, do we still have to protest?"

The black boy came over, looked at the listless protest group members behind him, and bared his teeth. Said, "Now the hearts are scattered..."

Clichy did not speak, and he was not leading a spontaneous protest.

Although it hasn't reached the hot summer season yet, the sunshine in Los Angeles is hot enough. The black boy covered his head with newspaper, but he still couldn't stop the sweat from dripping.

Thinking of the film I secretly watched last night, how magnificent it was. It was so exciting that he just wanted to shout a few words of 'FUCK', and then look at the treatment under the scorching sun. Is it worth it?

Is it worth it to start such an unnecessary protest for such a wonderful movie?

The black boy's head is indeed relatively simple. But that doesn't mean he can't think.

"Boss..." He put down the newspaper covering his head and said to Krishna, "I'm quitting!"

Hearing this, Chrissy cast an incredible look. "why?"

"Why are we protesting?" The black boy's thinking was straight, "because we love The Lord of the Rings! Worry about the movie adaptation! But Duke Rosenberg's movie is obviously very good. It's better than the novel, why should we protest? "

His voice was a little high, attracting the attention of the few remaining protesters.

"You actually went to see that movie!" Chrissy felt deeply betrayed.

"I went to see it!" The black boy did not deny it, "and I watched it twice in a row. I plan to watch it for the third time tonight!"

He turned to look at all the protesters, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm quitting!"

After that, he left Nokia Plaza without looking back.

Looking at the back of the black boy leaving, there was a lot of discussion among the few remaining protesters.

"We have fewer and fewer people."

"I think he has a point, there is no need for our protests to continue."

"Did you go to the movies too?"

"I advise everyone to go and watch it. If the movie really fails, we will continue to protest..."

Just in the middle of a discussion, many people gave up their protest signs and banners, greeted Chrissy at will, and left the group.

By sunset, there were only three people left behind Clichy.

After sending the three away, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, drank half of it in one breath, looked around carefully, then walked towards the AMG theater on the left, and after entering the theater, he got it at the reservation desk Seeing that it was still early for my ticket, I put on the baseball cap I had prepared earlier and hid in the corner of the hall.

Sitting on a lounge chair bored, Chrissy took out the movie ticket he just received and glanced at it, which read "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"!

He pulled the brim down again and muttered to himself, "Even if God comes, it won't stop me from watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for the fourth time!"

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, to be exact, isn't as broad as Titanic's full-blown power, but it's as divisive and repeat-watching as Chrissy.

This also caused the box office drop of "The Fellowship of the Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring" to not be particularly large even on weekdays.

May has come to the last few days, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" ushered in the first working day after its release on Tuesday. Compared with the $24.26 million on Monday's Memorial Day, it only earned 14.55 million on this day. USD, but only 40% down, which is definitely a super stable trend for summer movies.

All the films shown in the same schedule, even the equally stable "Shrek", can't compare with "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

On this day, "Shrek" earned $3.93 million, "The Mummy Returns" earned $2.05 million, and "Pearl Harbor" reported $2.15 million...

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is a complete monopoly.

On Wednesday, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring fell slightly again, taking in $13.52 million in a single day. However, there was a slight rebound on Thursday, and the single-day box office once again returned to more than 14 million US dollars and won 14.09 million US dollars!

So far, the film has been released in North America for a week, and the box office has accumulated 150.99 million US dollars!

This also set a record, this is the seven-day highest-grossing film in North American film history!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has broken all records that can be broken, and Duke Rosenberg's new film once again proves that he is worthy of the title of the king of summer!"

Of course, Warner Bros. will not miss the opportunity to build momentum, and its various media continue to hype the film.

"The film fans have given praise to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. On the famous fan rating website IMDB, the film's rating has been maintained at 9.4 points, and the audience's reputation is super popular!"

There's another reason Warner Bros. launched such a massive publicity spree on Thursday. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is set to take on a hugely invested rival in its second weekend, produced by Paramount Pictures. Released, directed by Simon West, starring Angelina Jolie, the $115 million "Tomb Raider" is coming.

This is the largest investment in a live-action film adaptation of a game ever made.

"Nancy and I went to the Paramount preview."

Sitting in his suite at the Holiday Inn Chicago Metropolitan Hotel, Duke watched the Monday taping on TV and chatted with Tina Fey, who was flipping through her computer emails, "A very impressive film. "

Tina Fey couldn't help but turn her head to look at Duke curiously. For so many years, the two of them have been together, and there are very few movies that can make him say impressive.

"The film was great?" she asked.

Duke shook his head. "All the storylines and action scenes put together are not as engaging as Angelina Jolie."

Open Google, Tina Fey typed the name Laura Crawford into the search bar, tapped Enter, and a hot girl in a tight-fitting shirt immediately appeared on the monitor.

Women's gossip heart is endless, Tina Fei suddenly thought of something about this actress, and couldn't help but ask, "It is said that Julie and her brother have an affair, is that true?"

This news has been widely circulated in the circle, and Duke has also heard of it. As for whether it is true or false, I don't know.

"Tina..." he suggested directly, "you can ask Angelina Jolie directly when you have a chance."

Although I can't remember the specific box office trend of "Tomb Raider", Duke is very clear that even if this is the most successful game movie of all time, it still can't be a super hit, and game movies have never been the mainstream of the market.

When Duke led the crew out of Illinois for Pittsburgh on Friday morning, the numbers from yesterday's Box Office Express were somewhat unexpected.

Thanks to a large number of game fans and the publicity of the female version of Indian Jones, the first-day box office of "Tomb Raider" completely exceeded the media's estimated $12 million. Among 3,308 theaters in North America, the first day of Got $18.06 million.

However, in front of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", it is still not enough to watch. With the arrival of the weekend, the box office of this magical blockbuster rebounded strongly. It returned to the ranks of 20 million US dollars on Friday, and won 20.97 million US dollars in one fell swoop!

This was an unusual weekend, and it was also a weekend in which the stock market, which was extremely rare in the past summer, maintained a strong run. Although "The Mummy Returns" and "Pearl Harbor" continued to be in the doldrums, the third week of "Shrek" also Maintained a strong weekend box office trend.

Also on Friday, DreamWorks Animation's masterpiece took home $12.65 million!

The three films battled fiercely for the weekend's slot.

For "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", "Tomb Raider" is completely different from "Shrek". The audience of the latter is obviously different. The expedition full of magic colors determines the part of the audience. coincide.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and Tomb Raider inevitably compete.

In the fiercely contested summer market, as long as there is competition, a series of targeted operations will be launched without anyone instigating mobilization. (To be continued ~^~)
