Director’s Legend - Chapter 385

On the last day of the May Day holiday in 2013, on May 1, “Iron Man 3” came to the Chinese mainland film market. Sweeping the midnight show in one fell swoop, cutting 13.5 million box office with 2,400 screenings and nearly 300,000 movie viewers, surpassing the historical record of 12 million box office at midnight in Mainland China created by “Transformers 3”.

According to the data of Time.com, “Iron Man 3” accounted for 41.08% of the top-15 cities in the country in a single day, but even so, the major movie studios across the country still show that “Iron Man 3” is hard to find. . Just take the Jiahe Studios at the Jiahe Studios in Shancheng Jiaozi Road as an example. The 9 screening halls were full of “Iron Man 3”. At 12:30 there were still a large number of spectators queuing to buy tickets.

As Shao Shuaijun is likely to be the only movie in 2013, Mtime.com has also sent a huge lineup of interviews to various movie theaters to visit the viewing situation and reputation of “Iron Man 3”.

“The visual effect is very impactful.”

“The story is very strong.”

“The 3d effect exceeded expectations.”

“The sound and special effects are much better than the previous two.”

The audience who basically watched the movie received constant praise when they were interviewed. The audience even praised: “Iron Man 3 can be regarded as the most visually-watching movie in 2013.”

At the same time, about 70% of the viewers interviewed randomly said that they would definitely watch it again if they had the opportunity, and 90% of the fans said they would recommend it to their friends and colleagues around them. The audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies is unstoppable, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

At the end of the opening day of the day the next day, “Iron Man 3” was in the limelight with a box office of 140 million yuan, setting five box office records in mainland film history.

Break 100 million at the fastest. Same as “Transformers 3”, it broke 100 million yuan a day but the box office was higher; the midnight show record, 13.5 million broke “Transformers 3” 12 million yuan; the first day box office record, 140 million yuan broke “Transformers 3” 110 million yuan ; On Wednesday, the record of paintings broke 39 million yuan in “The Journey to the West” and the single-day box office record broke the 125.6 million yuan in “Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil”.

It has not yet been released in North America. It has been just a few days overseas, and has madly won $289 million.

Originally, experts predicted that “Iron Man 3” would surpass the first two to reach a height of US$700 or 800 million. Now, no one doubts it. “Iron Man 3” cannot break the $1 billion mark. Everyone aligns the final box office of “Iron Man 3” with the $1.67 billion of “Avengers”.

Of course, it is difficult to reach the height of the Women’s Federation. The best result at present is to surpass the $1.328 billion in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2.

“Since “Iron Man” fired the first shot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project, this dude in iron armor and uneasy routines. He carries all the expectations of Marvel comics. In the first part, Jon Fei Confucianism made an amazing start and made Iron Man popular all over the world. After the second unsurprisingly flat, Shao Shuaijun finally took Iron Man away again in the “Avengers”, and now the third part, Iron Man Xia seems to have exploded with an unprecedented crazy charm and dedicated a start that surpassed people’s expectations. A good director. And a good actor, a wonderful chemical reaction happened…”

The cover characters of this issue of “Entertainment Weekly” are two people, one is the shape of Robert Downey Jr. holding the Iron Man helmet, and the other is the shape of Shao Shuaijun holding his arms on the set.

There is also an interview with Shao Shuaijun in the content. “The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake” has been promoted. As the first work of the four major magical series, Shao Shuaijun participated in the promotion. He first flew to Hong Kong and held a movie. Trailer conference.

At the press conference. I took the time to accept an interview with “Entertainment Weekly” and answered the reporter’s original intention of creation.

“I participated in the pre-production of “Iron Man 3″. At that time, we built the second ensemble of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but did not have a very detailed idea. It was not until I took over the filming work temporarily. I didn’t think about it. Shoot.”

“Tony and Gwyneth also wanted a different Iron Man, so I asked myself. Did the armor make Iron Man or Iron Man the armor? Tony Stark wore a suit. Is the armor a superhero? Will others be a hero if they wear it? If it is not for the armor, then what is it that made him an Iron Man?”

“With this kind of thinking, I started making movies. I hope to give Iron Man a process of self-recognition, and I also hope to give the audience a process of understanding Iron Man.”

Then the reporter asked Shao Shuaijun what he thought of “Iron Man 3” at the final box office. Shao Shuaijun didn’t know it himself, and replied with a smile: “I hope it can exceed US$800 million. Now it seems that there is a chance. As for the final amount, I am not very concerned. . As I said before, I finished the film and the audience is sure, everything is enough.”

Shao Shuaijun thought it was enough, but the box office everywhere did not think it was enough. Good news came one by one, and the momentum of watching the premiere was not worse than that of “Avengers.” Many regions have broken the opening record set by the Women’s Federation. However, there are also some dissatisfactions. In the simultaneous release of the Japanese market, “Iron Man” failed to win the box office championship.

Last week’s championship was the cartoon “Detective Conan 2013: Detective of the Far Sea”, which achieved consecutive championships with “Iron Man 3”. Although in terms of word of mouth, “Iron Man 3” conquered Japanese audiences with its excellent entertainment attributes. Audiences who took the first day satisfaction survey of “Pia Movie Life” scored 91.1 points for this film, ranking first among all new films, and Yahoo! Japan also scored 4 points for this film.

It’s a pity that in this big animation country, the invasion of American comics is really difficult. Superheroes have gimmicks and scenes, and the 3d play is full of flowers, but they still can’t beat Japan’s own 2d comics. Of course, if you have any difficulties, you have to face it. After all, Japan is still the world’s third-largest ticket warehouse. In the future, Marvel Comics will plan more plans to penetrate Japan and bring Japan down.

Both the Women’s Federation and Steel 3 have established a good reputation, changing the taste of Japanese audiences. Not without hope.

After the turmoil all over the world, on May 3rd, “Iron Man 3” finally landed in the United States, the main battlefield. The midnight show closed for $15.6 million, and on the day the painting opened, it scored $68.1 million in the box office, and three days after the weekend. Crazy collection of $175.3 million weekend box office.

This result is lower than “Avengers”, but still beat the $169.1 million of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2, becoming the second place in the opening week of North American film history. The average score of a single hall is US$41,218, which is also lower than the Women’s Federation, but seven times higher than Kazakhstan, ranking second in large-scale releases. And Saturday and Sunday. They are all second only to the Women’s Federation, and other statistics are among the top in North American film history.

“Shao used “The Avengers” to refresh the history of North American film, which is hard to expect. Perhaps he is afraid that everyone will not have the motivation to chase after. Now he uses “Iron Man 3” to give all movies a goal to catch up. When will it be surpassed. “Iron Man 3” at the box office, you have the opportunity to launch an impact on “The Avengers.”-“Hollywood Entertainment Report.”

At this time, the weekly box office in the mainland was also released immediately. “Iron Man 3” lived up to expectations for 498.65 million yuan, pulling down the record of 467.3 million yuan in the first week of “Titanic” 3d re-screening version, and once again handed the first week championship to Shao Shuaijun.

At the time, “Old Boy” was 422.9 million yuan in the first week, which ended up in the hands of the 3d rerelease of “Titanic”. A 3d rerelease of the shipwreck film of the last century, occupying the box office record of the first week for more than three years. Said this is a very speechless result.

Fortunately, there is no need to tangle this issue now.

So far. Two weeks later, “Iron Man 3” was $725 million worldwide.

In the third week, “Iron Man 3” won the championship for US$80.56 million in North America, and won three consecutive championships overseas, attracting US$98 million. So far, the world’s US$946.8 million is not far from the 1 billion mark.

“Steel 3’s box office is very good, the previous advocacy can not pass 800 million US dollars to come out.” Netizen Su Jiazong since the last time Du Niang posted a forecast post, which led to box office controversy. Now I have come out to post again.

“Does more than $800 million represent a good movie? You can only say that you are young and ignorant!” netizen wblyu gave a haha ​​smile.

“More than 800 million US dollars can not be represented, I can only say that you upstairs let me see your high-end class.” Netizen ethan_ touched speechless.

“I watched the imax-3d version, and it looks so good. When Tony wears and takes off the armor. It’s really cool. I am optimistic that it can reach the box office of 1.4 billion US dollars.” Netizen smf82212943 praised it.

“The plot is more in-depth than the previous two, but how come the more you look at it, the more the finale tastes? Don’t the finale!” The netizen said worriedly.

“The contract between Downey and Gwyneth seems to be expiring. Downey and Marvel signed a total of six movies, three Iron Man, two Avengers, and the previous Hulk playing soy sauce. After the Women’s Federation 2, they stopped acting.” The nasty monk explained by the netizen.

“Can’t you renew then?” Netizens thought I would be very easy to ask.

“The renewal is not a random sign. What are the worth of Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow now? No tens of millions of dollars can be signed, the higher the cost later. Didn’t the Marvel boss say that last time? , I hope to make Iron Man into a 007 series that can be replaced at any time. After all, anyone can be Iron Man as long as he wears a battle armor. The kid in “Iron Man 3″ won’t be funded by Tony? Maybe he will be the new Iron Man in the future.” Netizen Ge Shi Qingtian analyzed.

Obviously, this building is crooked again…

19 days after its release, “Iron Man 3” received a good news, and finally broke the $1 billion mark, second only to “Avengers” and became the second fastest to break $1 billion. Regrettably, unlike the strong follow-up box office of “Avengers”, “Iron Man 3″‘s ability to attract gold has declined somewhat quickly.

Experts gave a chart of the box office. It is expected that the final box office of “Iron Man 3” should be about 1.35 billion US dollars, which can hold hands with “Avengers” and occupy the third and fourth place in global film history. As for whether it can reach such a data, “Iron Man 3” still has a long way to go at the box office.

However, Shao Shuaijun has no time to pay attention to “Iron Man 3” now. The world premiere of “White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” directed by Chen Jiashang and produced by Shao Shuaijun will be held on May 21 at Jiahe cbd flagship cinema in Beijing.
