Chapter 275 The Pirate Ship Landed Again
"Devil's Fashion" made a good start with a box office of 6 million US dollars in the first weekend, and even "Superman Returns", which cost as much as 2.7 million US dollars to produce, also narrowly lost and came in second place.Once the result was announced, it attracted the attention of professional film magazines and entertainment magazines.After all, "Superman", as the most popular superhero in the United States, also has accumulated fans in several movies and TV series, and the latest "Superman" also earned a weekend box office of 57 million US dollars, but it was still "Devil" This film, which has no leading man at all, is defeated.
As the owner of DC Comics and the producer of the film, Warner Bros. is said to be furious internally.Time Warner executives are directly accountable to Warner Bros., and the vice president in charge of the film is said to have resigned.Many people sighed, how can other film companies live if they have to resign even with a weekend box office of 57 million US dollars?
The Box Office, which is home to members of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, quickly published a review, "This time, women conquered men." "A week ago, if someone had told me that 'Devil's Fashion' would outsell 'Superman Returns', I'd have thought he was crazy. Now it's not him, it's us. Hollywood There is no shortage of female-themed movies. Even Mr. Jed Sherman has filmed "Thelma and Louise" and "Charlie's Angels". But even for these two movies, he dare not completely exclude men. In Crazy Flowers, the collision of male chauvinism and feminist awakening makes it a classic of female-themed movies in the world; while "Charlie's Angels" follows all the rules of commercial movies. Love needs, and there will be a prince charming to capture them in the end. But in "The Devil's Fashion", Miranda is already a "godlike existence" in the whole movie, even so strong that the director doesn't need to show her husband any shots can describe the problems of her marriage. Andrea works hard like ordinary men in the movie. She doesn’t need love, she just needs a career. Once upon a time, this was a man’s patent! And Emily is like a great Most male workplace movies have become the fateful enemy of the heroine. The confrontation between the two makes people feel that there is no big deal if there is no man. I have to sigh, maybe in this era, women will choose more business?"
The "Box Office" comment was reposted by countless people on social media. The girls naturally praised this comment, while the boys naturally scoffed at it.The Women's Club of the Hollywood Reporters Association, which has the largest concentration of female film journalists in the United States, launched a special topic in its journal "Film and Women", "Jed Sherman and Feminism in the Film World".
This group of female film journalists highly praised Jed's film, and believed that his film "Thelma and Louise" was the first clarion call for the awakening of feminism in the film world.Magazine editors analyze the women in Jed Sherman's movies in detail, whether it's a romantic movie like "Sleepless in Seattle," an art movie like "Forrest Gump," or even "Schindler's List." In such a war movie, the women in Jade's movies are, without exception, very independent.They feel the society as an independent individual and influence the society.And Jed is willing to give good character to the women in his movies, so that they are not just decorative vases in the movie, but plot characters who really promote the development of the movie plot.
With the recommendations of "Influence" and "Movies and Women", this movie has suddenly become a must-see movie for American women.At this time, American feminism had already been greatly liberated, and there were more and more independent women in the metropolis.They not only control their own lives, but also affect their partners.Driven by the girls, "The Devil's Fashion" actually won a box office of 25 million US dollars in the second week of its release despite the big killer of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem".
Just in the first week of July, the most profitable pirate in Hollywood fashion returned to the summer vacation again.As another John Woo film in this summer, the attention of movie fans and film critics will naturally increase a lot.Unlike "Mission Impossible", the stories that "Pirates of the Caribbean" can learn from are very limited, and the entire movie setting is fundamentally different from the actual society, so many people are paying attention to what will happen to this sequel movie.You must know that although "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" has achieved good results at the box office, the gains in word of mouth are very limited.And another important reason is that, with the male protagonist embracing the beauty, it seems that the whole movie should end.
Therefore, when Galaxy Films announced the continuous production of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", many people thought that these two films would be typical "sequels".Even some harsh film critics believe that with the box office failure of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" will not be able to get an official release.Therefore, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" will have the opportunity to become the most expensive DVD movie in movie history.That conclusion was supported by some fans, but scoffed at by Galaxy Films' writing department.You must know that the project of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was a seven-part series, and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" didn't even complete the character introduction, so how can it be over?
However, it is precisely because fans and film critics are curious about the film that it has attracted many people to enter the theater again to pay attention to this film.Sure enough, the film written and executive produced by Jed Sherman never disappoints any fans. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem of Souls" has a heavy rain scene directly at the beginning of the film, and in this depressing scene is a seemingly unfinished wedding.There were no guests, and there was no wedding banquet. Suddenly, Elizabeth dropped her bouquet and ran outside.But the camera suddenly switched to the estate of Governor Swan, and Wiltner was arrested!
Immediately, this opening attracted everyone's attention.It turns out that the happy ending at the end of the first movie was subverted, and the second male lead was arrested!With this confusing opening, the film's main villain, Lord Beckett, enters the scene.Lord Beckett quickly explained his purpose. He was here to arrest Will and Elizabeth, as well as Warrant Officer Norrington.Lord Beckett's target, of course, is Captain Jack Sparrow.As Lord Beckett mentioned the name, many viewers began to wonder, what about Jack?
It seems that the director also knew the doubts of the audience. Captain Jack's crew appeared, but the camera immediately shifted to a spooky prison, where the crows devoured the living without restraint!Many viewers were tense. Couldn't it be enough that Will and Elizabeth were arrested, and Jack was already locked in?But with a coffin and a gunshot, Captain Jack Sparrow makes a very strange appearance again.It turned out that he sneaked into this prison to find the treasure. As the key clues to the treasure were revealed, everyone soon discovered that a new story could start from here.
At the same time, as the plot progresses, everyone discovers the secret of Captain Jack.His agreement with Poseidon, and David Jones' pursuit of him.Of course, there is also the so-called Pirate Association, and the reappearance of Barbossa.It wasn't until two-thirds of the story that people discovered the fact that "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is just a prologue, and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem of Souls" is the main story of the story.At the same time, since "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Casket" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" started shooting almost one after another, this is actually equivalent to dividing a long movie into two episodes, so until "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Soul Chest" It's over, but the story is only half over.
As the screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem of Souls" ended, reporters interviewed moviegoers in major theaters.Some people think "this is the best movie of this summer vacation", and some people think "can't wait to see the third one"... Even the harsh film critics think this is a good magical pirate theme movie.It's a new trend in sequel films where writers and directors reinvigorate the main character's plot by bringing in other important supporting characters when the original story thread has dried up.Not all sequel movies have to continue the plot line of the original movie, and sometimes it is a very good choice to make a fortune.However, as a commercial blockbuster, this film only got a "pass" evaluation from film critics. In the film critics' rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website, it only has a favorable rating of 61%, which just reached the passing line of fresh evaluation.On the other hand, the love of movie fans is very high, with 85% of the favorites.On imdb, an indiscriminate rating website, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem of Souls" scored as high as 7.8 points, which is considered an excellent movie.
Of course, what shocked entertainment reporters and film critics the most was that the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem" actually reached 1.5 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, and the average box office revenue of the theater was more than 3 yuan.Such astonishing results naturally caused the distribution company to increase the intensity of film scheduling, and theater managers also tried their best to put "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem" into the daily screening list.In the second week of its release, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Chest of Souls" still won a box office of 8 million US dollars, ranking first in the weekend box office chart for a consecutive time.
Even in the third week, Sony continued to send the animated blockbuster "Monster House" to snipe "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem", but "Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem" still continued to lead at the box office with 4 million US dollars.It was only in the fourth week, with the end of the summer vacation, that "Pirates of the Caribbean: Chest of Souls" narrowly lost to Universal Films' new film "Miami Vice" with a box office gap of 5 million.Even so, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Chest" still leads No.3, and Fox Films' new film "Assassin in Love" is nearly 1 million US dollars.
Of course, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Reaper of Souls" is not only invincible in the North American market, but also dominates the Asian, European and South American markets."Pirates of the Caribbean: Requiem of Souls" has been the weekend box office champion for at least three weeks in major box office regions around the world.Faced with such a hot performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Chest of Souls", many people originally wanted to turn their anger to Jed Sherman's low-cost film "The Devil's Fashion".
But what is eye-popping is that the movie "Devil's Fashion" has unknowingly won a box office of 6 million US dollars worldwide.So all the film critics had no choice but to shut their mouths and began to sing praises for Sherman Entertainment Group's big success in the summer.
And at this time, Jed Sherman announced that his new film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was officially completed.
