1153: Greater than MJ?
Ten years ago, a war between humans and zombies that affected the entire world broke out, almost destroying the entire human world. While countries around the world were recuperating, a UN investigator visited all over the world to investigate the survival of humans. The media review of "The Battle of Doomsday" which investigated the survival of humans 62 points, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 68%.
The shooting process was full of twists and turns, and the zombie blockbusters that were delayed for several re-shoots during the period led to soaring costs. The box office of the movie was naturally inseparable from the support of the media, and the mainstream media's praise rate occupied the mainstream.
"The Battle of Doomsday is a real and steady stunt blockbuster. Compared with other works that are famous for summer blockbusters, it is more worth watching", "almost thrilling and good-looking", "For those traditional zombie films, the value of "The Battle of Doomsday" is that it is truly shaping thriller, rather than trying to disgust the audience with blood", "a thriller that truly combines tragedy with the end of the world to perfection, the entire viewing process is not only scary, but also inexplicably excited! This is undoubtedly the most scary zombie work in recent years", "a entertainment work like hell", "only Li Donglai + Brad Pitt (producer + starring of this film) can return the focus to the zombie itself."
Because "The Battle of the Zombie Doomsday" blocked "Monster University" and failed to win the box office championship, think about the "The Day Afternoon", which also focused on the doomsday theme, ranked second in the animated "Shrek 2", this time it was considered revenge.
However, as Disney Pixar's annual masterpiece, Monster University has a good box office performance on the weekend. The next week when Superman just set a new record for film history in June, when "The Battle of Doomsday" was coming in a brutal situation, "Monster University" opened in 4,004 theaters, and charged tuition fees of 82.42 million US dollars on the weekend. The single-game score was also as high as 20,000 US dollars, and it temporarily ranked second with a slight disadvantage.
Since the reputation of "Racing Story 2" lost (the final box office of 191 million did not meet expectations, it was still the 2011 animation championship), the myth of "Pixar's production must be a fine product" has been broken. Even though the two works of Disney Animation Studio in 2012, "Legend of Courage" and "Invincible Destruction" unified the animation world and maintained the position of Mickey Mouse as the leader, Pixar's actions are still exciting.
As we all know, in the moment when the farce script is deserted, mainstream production companies have begun to think of sequel prequels or story adaptations. After all, "recreation" based on a certain blueprint is always much easier than original creation out of thin air, so the "strange story" of the sequel explosion in 2011 and the "strange story" of the old film making sequels decades ago!
For Pixar, his strong creativity ensures that excellent scripts are endless. Phantom Li Donglai is also very envious of this. There are a group of geniuses in the world who are the best in animation stories. You know, after the first two "Kung Fu Panda" he carefully created, the third one immediately fell into a story drought. In addition, Li Donglai has recently occupied the schedule and changed to "Frozen". If "Dragon Hero" wants to release a sequel, he may have to wait until 2015.
By comparing this point, Pixar's reputation is even more valuable. In addition to the traditional series "Toy Story", Pixar has always insisted on the pace of an original fine product a year.
It was not until the first decade of the 21st century that Hollywood fell into the situation of flying sequel prequels that an animated sequel was quietly launched. However, unexpectedly, Pixar did not choose the more "international" "Superman", "Beasts", "Rat King", "Found Nemo", and even "Robot Wallet", but instead took a fancy to the "American" "Racing Cars"!
Obviously this was Pixar's test. He abandoned the previous calm route and completely subverted the original style and chose to go astray. Unfortunately, the final result was unsatisfactory, and the weak box office collapsed, which made Pixar's sequel attempt decline.
But Pixar is Pixar, and the sequel will be defeated and the prequel will go.
I remember that the world view structure of "Monster Electric Power Company" made countless people exclaim the imagination of the main creators, but even so, a large part of the box office of "Power Electric Power Company" has to be attributed to the cute human children. Faced with audiences who are more tricky than Saint Seiya, the same trick can naturally be used again. The time point of "Monster University" was set in the college days of the protagonists, completely abandoning the human role and turning to carefully refine the "Monster World View" of that year. From a psychological perspective, many of the children who followed their parents to watch movies 12 years ago have now entered society and even got married and had children.
Experience the embarrassing things of my beloved character in his youth, and the melancholy of "to youth" is invisibly filled with the remembrance of "to youth".
This is why "Monster University" can still remain strong and attractive after 12 years! Audience statistics also prove this reasoning. As an animated film that has always faced the teenagers, 40% of the audience are over 25 years old. Even many children who are still sleepy will secretly run back to watch it for the second time.
Another reason why "Monster University" is very simple. Since entering 2013, no high-quality animation works have appeared for half a year.
The only movie "Forest Warrior" that can be put on the table has performed poorly and has become the worst record for Blue Sky Studio so far. So logically speaking, after "Superman" and "The Strongest Planet: Li Donglai" jointly created a shocking point, the box office purchasing power should have dropped significantly, but the animation audience's hunger for half a year still burst out with strong purchasing power.
Referring to Pixar's other works, "Superman" opened for 70.46 million US dollars, and finally closed for 261 million; "Find Nemo" opened for 70.25 million, with a cumulative amount of 339 million; "Flying House" opened for 68.1 million, with a closing of 293 million. Although Global's animation ace "Despicable 2" is about to debut 12 days later, "Monster University" still has strong box office potential, and now it is targeted at 250 million final value. If it can maintain a low second-week decline rate next week, it may impact 300 million US dollars.
The booming animation market did not make Li Donglai jealous.
On the contrary, he wished this.
"Frozen" has come to an end, and the schedule is scheduled to be released at the end of the year. He is very concerned about this birthday gift for his two daughters. How could he not expect the movie to have a better box office?
Of course, after saying so much, the audience is also very concerned about the old films released this week. "Superman: Man of Steel" fell by about 65% this week, winning only $41.8 million in box office!
Although the decline is astonishing, the cumulative box office has reached US$210 million, successfully surpassing "Return of Superman" to become the best result of the "Superman Series". At the same time, as the release of "box office centers" such as China, the total overseas revenue has also risen to US$188 million. It has successfully approached the cumulative total of "Return of Superman", and "Man of Steel" will be released in Australia next week, followed by Japan, Brazil, etc. The "best film in film history" is no longer suspense.
According to the current situation, the second week of "Man of Steel" was not due to the quality of the film, but due to a strong opponent, so there is still a possibility that North America will exceed 300 million US dollars.
The most popular one. Last week's runner-up "The Strongest Planet: Li Donglai Documentary" fell 51% this week after the explosive growth of 73.5 million on the weekend, and still won a box office of $35.6 million. In North America, the cumulative box office exceeded $109 million in ten days of release in two weeks and ten days.
Previously, the music documentary "Justin Bieber: Never Says" starring the popular little king Justin Bieber, who became popular at the speed of the Rockets in 2011, defeated "Michael Jackson: That's it" and became the box office champion of such movies in the United States.
"Justin Bieber: Never Says" has a total box office of $72.2 million in the United States. However, Jackson's documentary has a local box office of $72.1 million.
Not to mention how Bieber is crazy about his death today, Bieber's proud record has also passed down. He was defeated by Li Donglai with a stance of over 100 million.
At the same time, overseas box office also accumulated to US$168 million. Among them, the Chinese market once again contributed 265 million box office the next week, and the domestic release exceeded 515 million life-time ratio in two weeks. It is equivalent to a box office of nearly US$70 million.
However, the record of overseas box office Michael Jackson's concert rehearsed "That's it" has attracted $261 million in global money and $189 million in overseas box office. Li Donglai's documentary has surpassed "Michael of God" in terms of global total box office, but the box office record except North America is already very close, and it will only be a matter of time before breaking this record.
A documentary achieved a box office of nearly 300 million in two weeks of its release, which shocked fans around the world.
The media also heard the news and stirred up, especially Asian beautiful pictures. They contributed a lot to the box office this time. Reporting this information is naturally very active. Chinese media reported: "The strongest personal documentary on God's Planet was released for ten days, and the box office in North America exceeded 100 million, and the global box office also exceeded 270 million US dollars, breaking the global box office record of documentary held by Michael Jackson..."
South Korea's Chosun Ilbo used the words "unstoppable, brilliant" to describe Lee Donglai's present and today. He also specially compared Justin Bieber's embarrassing incident. Last week, Bieber broke out that the popular tricycle in his hometown of Canada rushed onto the sidewalk and rushed past the old man at high speed. He was taken into the police station by the police and had already entered the palace, and was completely dying.
In addition to being scary and lace, Li Donglai did not smoke or drink. In a short period of time, he created a huge life wealth of over 10 billion US dollars. The investment involved mobile phone communications, casinos, clothing, movies, TV, TV stations, music and other projects. It is also the most eye-catching "superhuman" at the London Olympics and is hailed by the media as "the strongest on the planet".
Bieber and Li Donglai have a similar history of fame. They both became famous in that year. One was a song Baby became popular on the Internet. The other was talented. The first movie had a global box office of 300 million yuan. A 1VS20 in the WWE ring match made him popular all over the world.
With the same young and handsomeness, many media like to compare the two together.
Bieber is still very popular now, and there are many brainless fans. But when he is with Li Donglai, he is completely the opposite of Li Donglai. I wonder what Bieber thought when he saw this.
Europe is very cautious, and they begin to discuss "Li Donglai's documentary box office surpasses Michael, does Li Donglai surpass Michael?"
This intentional behavior of picking topics has aroused the dissatisfaction of many fans of Mai Shen. Some angry Li Donglaihei even openly abused, criticized, and accused him on Twitter and Facebook.
As we all know, this kind of documentary that records the life experiences of celebrities is not too expensive. The one who wins the big shot is of course Li Donglai himself. If the box office exceeds 300 million, most of them will be included in Li Donglai's private pockets.
But Li Donglai's documentary box office actually surpassed Michael's, which surprised Michael's fans.
"Is Li Donglai even greater than Michael?"
not necessarily."
Michael has passed away, and he is the most indelible piece in the history of world pop. Michael is indeed far from reaching his achievements in film, but in terms of music and popularity, Li Donglai is still far from it. But the things are so strange. This Asian star, a personal documentary that has not been optimistic about many people before, actually broke Michael's record. It is incredible.
Even Li Donglai himself was very surprised by this result. He wrote on his Twitter and Weibo homepage: "I am proud of the achievements of "The Strongest on the Planet: Li Donglai Documentary". Thank you very much for your fans. It is your record of the most popular documentary ever. MJ is always the greatest! It is extremely honorable!"
The compliment to MJ temporarily stopped the anger of MJ fans.
Also worth mentioning this week is the animation "Forest Warrior". The new animation work of Blue Sky Studio finally exceeded 100 million US dollars after its release of 5 weeks, recovering the cost of the film, but still unable to change the fate of "the worst in history".
Under the leadership of the four-in-one "zombies", "monsters", "superman" and "Li Donglai", the total of the Top 12 reached a peak of 310 million US dollars for the third time, directly breaking the 300 million threshold, making it the highest weekend box office since the summer season was launched.
This result successfully ranked fifth in the single-week revenue list in film history, even surpassing the total market in the first week of "Iron Man 3" (210 million US dollars), and the $249 million in the first week of "Fast and Furious 6".
This is also the third box office "gaochao" after entering 2013.
