530 Global Hot Selling

It should be said that it is not without reason that the distribution company decided to schedule "Bayonet" to be released on May 26.

First of all, next Monday’s Memorial Day is a prime time period that is not inferior to *** Day. It will be released at this time, followed by the power of the three days of the weekend, plus a Memorial Day, which is enough for "Bayonite" to make a lot of money. .

In addition, when it is released at this time, the competitors of "Bayonet" are not strong, and can even be said to be very weak. The only thing that may pose a threat to "Bayonet" is "Broken Up", which will be released next week, starring Jennifer Aniston. This romantic comedy is also known as a direct confrontation between Aniston and Eva Snow, the two Hollywood beauties.

However, judging from the almost perfect praise of "Bayonet" after its premiere, Jennifer Aniston is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Many professional film critics even believe that if "Bayonet" cannot even withstand the impact of romance movies, Aniston will be at a disadvantage. Pierberg, just stop messing around!

Finally, the reason why "Bayonet" is expected to be a hit is also due to several previously released movies. Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 3" dismally started the summer box office war, and "Poseidon" was wrongly selected. The box office was even worse, "The Da Vinci Code" failed to change, the box office was not ideal, etc.

It is precisely because of this series of deficient works that act as a supporting act that the fans' accumulated enthusiasm for watching movies has become completely fanatical. There must be such a shocking movie for them to vent.

Looking at the summer box office, there is always such a movie every year, such as "Shrek 2" in 2004 and "Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of Hiss" in 2005. They are also released in late May. It was released and sold out to full houses, becoming the North American box office champion in 2004 and 2005.

Now, is it the [bayonet]’s turn?

After experiencing setbacks such as "War of the Worlds" and other luxury productions that did not do well at the box office, Spielberg made a comeback this time, determined to use this pinnacle work to re-polished his golden sign of Hollywood's money-grabbing machine, and DreamWorks also focused on Treat Old Si's movie as a summer release as a battle.

"Bayonet" was released simultaneously in 4,352 movie theaters in North America, setting a record for the largest release in the history of North American movies. The box office of the midnight premiere alone was as high as 19.3 million US dollars, breaking the 16.9 million US dollars of last year's "Star Wars 3" in one fell swoop. It became the highest zero-point box office record in North American film history.

On Friday, the box office of "Bayonet" reached US$65.8 million, breaking the North American box office record for Friday, opening day and highest single-day box office. At the same time, it also made everyone realize that this is an almost epic masterpiece. .

Yahoo's rating is A, and 20 of the major international media have given it a perfect score of 100. On the IMDB website, the score of "Bayonet" is as high as 9.8 points, not only surpassing Spielberg's own "Schindler's List", but also surpassing "The Godfather" in one fell swoop, temporarily becoming the highest rated movie on the IMDB website. Supreme movie.

“There’s no summer blockbuster more shocking than this!”

"Although it is two and a half hours longer, the story of this film is long and not "cluttered", rich and abundant, and the editing is tight and catchy. Eva Snow's acting skills have been completely sublimated. She should be nominated for an Oscar next year!"

Faced with such an excellent reputation, "Bayonet" grossed a total of 16,530 US dollars in the three days of the weekend, setting a three-day weekend premiere record in the history of North American films, and also breaking the highest May opening in film history. record,

At the same time, the fastest record of over 100 million was shortened to 2 days.

As many film critics said, the popularity of "Bayonet" was indeed surprising, but Spielberg fulfilled his promise this time and brought a "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" 】A perfect combination of works, achieving a perfect balance between business and art.

It is precisely because of the movie's high reputation and the audience's high evaluation of the movie that the box office of "Bayonet" improved again on Memorial Day on Monday. By Tuesday, it had successfully exceeded 2 billion dollar mark.

This means that Spielberg's peak epic has already recovered its costs ahead of schedule, but DreamWorks is determined to pursue the victory and successfully helped [Bayonet] control the decline to 35% in the second weekend, making it In the three days of the weekend, "Bayonet" grossed over 100 million US dollars, reaching 107 million US dollars, and successfully topped the weekend box office list. The second-placed "Breakup" was completely defeated with 38.05 million US dollars.

Excellent box office and high reputation have made "Bayonet" a super money-making machine at the North American box office during the summer season. Spielberg has reestablished himself as a super director in Hollywood, but he has The box office performance of [Bayotine] is not satisfied yet.

"It's not over yet. It's still a little far from what I expected. I have enough confidence in this movie. He is the best!"

Sure enough, in the third week, "Bayonet" once again showed unparalleled decline control. With a 40% decline, the three-day weekend box office reached a high of 64.2 million U.S. dollars, surpassing "Cars"'s 62.8 million U.S. dollars, and it has been three consecutive years. Zhou continued to top the North American weekend box office list, and also pushed the total box office to US$474.8 million, becoming this year's box office champion.

But everyone can see that this movie still has a strong life, especially judging from the decline for three consecutive weeks. It is entirely possible that this movie will hit 600 million, surpassing the North American box office set by Titanic. record, even surpassing the global box office record set by Titanic, becoming a major milestone in film history.

It should be said that both Xiao Yu and Spielberg have high expectations for the war epic "Bayonet". In fact, this movie is also quite good. Although it is an original story, it is This movie contains a large number of real historical events, and it resonates with movie fans from every detail.

A professional film critic once reviewed "Bayonet" and "One Shot to Fame". Xiao Yu was responsible for the scripts of these two movies. As a result, they saw a deep commonality in these two movies. That's the details, using a lot of real and easily relatable details to build a touching story.

This movie has been released one after another around the world, but this movie has caused a controversy in Japan.

The reason is very simple. The Japanese "government" believes that there are many fictional plots in this movie. They even believe that the so-called Nanjing Massacre does not exist at all. Therefore, when "Bayonet" is being released crazily around the world, However, the Communist Party came forward to protest and even threatened to take [Bayonette] to court.

However, ***'s *** cannot cover up the hot box office of "Bayonet", especially after "Bayonet" defeated "Cars", topped the North American box office rankings for many consecutive weeks, and successfully exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars in box office. Everyone has high hopes, and no one hopes that any film can beat this movie. The only suspense is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which was released in early July. I hope this sequel movie can snipe "Bayonet".

It should be said that when Bayonet set off an astonishing money-making movement around the world, everyone had doubts about the authenticity of the story described in this movie. For this reason, there are even many historical Research scholars have come forward one after another, some correcting the details in the movie, and others supporting some of the real backgrounds presented in the movie.

As the movie sells like hotcakes, more and more people are getting involved in this wave of research on the Nanjing Massacre, especially in China, which is known as the most difficult movie market to handle. This time, it is rare that there is no such thing. Give "Bayonite" any credit, introduce this movie without any cuts, release it at the same time, and contribute 150 million US dollars to the box office of "Bayonian".

At a time when the world is searching for the true nature of the Nanjing Massacre, many unknown historical backgrounds have been unearthed. In an era where information is so developed, it is impossible for the Communist Party to conceal it.

Only in the end did everyone discover that the truth revealed in the movie was just the tip of the iceberg. The numerous crimes committed by the Communists during the Nanjing Massacre were simply too numerous to describe, and the Communist authorities The attempt to conceal the truth and distort historical facts has brought the image of the entire country to the bottom.

But just as Xiao Yu said in an interview with the media at the Chinese celebration banquet of [Bayoto].

"[Bayonet] is just a movie, and its role is very limited, but I just hope to use this movie to awaken the conscience of all Chinese people, not to make them think about revenge and resist Japan all the time, but to make them think about revenge and resistance against Japan. We need them to understand that the country has faced difficulties in the past, and they must cherish the present and strive for self-improvement so that they can withstand foreign humiliation!"

Domestic media generally evaluate Xiao Yu's voice as the Chinese heart of overseas Chinese. Although he holds a British passport and has been abroad for many years, his heart, his body, and his soul will last forever. They are all Chinese!

"Bayonet" was screened in North America for 11 weeks, and the final North American box office reached 630 million U.S. dollars, breaking the North American box office record set by "Titanic" that year. However, in the global box office, "Bayonet" failed to set another record. brilliant.

It should be said that the loss of the Japanese film market will have a considerable impact on "Bayonet". According to distribution estimates, it will lose at least close to 200 million U.S. dollars in the Japanese box office, but even so, "Bayonet" is still It earned a global box office of US$1.653 billion, narrowly missing out on Titanic.

However, although "Bayonet" failed to achieve another great success, its current influence was completely beyond everyone's expectations, especially Xiao Yu. He did not expect that this movie could have such a significant impact. Troubles.

But what Xiao Yu didn't expect was that after the movie became a hit, a group of scholars around the world began to study the Nanjing Massacre. Among them were not only Chinese, but also scholars from the United States, Britain and other countries around the world. Historians, they specialized in the study of the Nanjing Massacre, and later presented pieces of irrefutable evidence for the Japanese authorities, and finally forced the Japanese authorities to unconditionally admit that the Nanjing Massacre was indeed true. .

With the hot sales of [Bayotine], DreamWorks finally won the biggest battle of the year, and it was a beautiful victory, very exciting and hearty.

And this movie can also be said to have brought fame and fortune to countless people, such as Spielberg. This great Hollywood director finally succeeded in rectifying his name with this movie, telling the world that he is not just an illusion, and he can also be successful. A masterpiece that is not inferior to James Cameron's.

At the celebration party for the success of "Bayonet", Spielberg even stated that he would take a break for a few years after directing "Bayonet". He spent a lot of energy on this film and this work has been drained. His body has been damaged and he must recover properly before he can return to filming the next movie.

Eva Snow, on the other hand, is considered by countless professional film critics to be a strong contender for the Best Actress Oscar next year due to her outstanding acting skills in "Bayonet". It has been sublimated and fully qualified to win the award.

In addition, guest stars such as George Clooney have also received favorable reviews. They are also satisfied that they can participate in such a meaningful movie. They hope that through this movie, the world can face up to this dark reality. history.

But perhaps the only surprising thing is Xiao Yu.

This already famous figure in the IT and football circles has attracted the attention of countless movie fans with his script writing for the movie "Bayonet". Everyone praised the script he wrote. Especially after the original novel "Bayonet" he wrote, it became a hot seller all over the world.

Many professionals believe that "Bayonet" created by Xiao Yu is fully capable of the level of a gold medal screenwriter. For a time, Xiao Yu received numerous invitations to write scripts from Hollywood, which made Xiao Yu joke with many friends. He said that he could consider switching to Hollywood to become a screenwriter after he couldn't survive in the football world.

Little did they know that this was just a joke, but major directors such as Spielberg and Cameron almost immediately agreed that if Xiao Yu wrote the script, they would definitely accept it. This made everyone boo, hoping that Xiao Yu could write more movies. Scripts, such as [Bayonet 2].

However, Xiao Yu shook his head and rejected this temptation. He said that he wrote "Bayonet" just to repay a wish he had made for many years. This script has exhausted his energy and he will not write it again in the short term. Writing scripts, especially after he finished revising his second film, The Detective, for Eva Snow.

Knowing that Xiao Yu will no longer write scripts, many movie "fans" expressed regret. They have watched "One Shot to Fame" and then "Bayonet". It can be said that with the stories of these two movies, Many movie fans have fallen deeply in love with Xiao Yu's creative style, which makes them disappointed that Xiao Yu stopped writing.

However, this has also caused their pursuit of the upcoming second and third parts of the "One Shot" series, as well as their attention to "The First Commandment" and "The Detective" directed by Eva Snow. , especially "One Shot 2" and "The First Commandment" which will be released in the summer respectively.

In the promotion of these two works, they even emphasized the slogan "Screenwriter: Xiao Yu". You can imagine how popular Xiao Yu is.
