Since its birth in 1954, Godzilla can definitely be regarded as the most well-known monster in the global range.
As Godzilla ’s first part movie after entering Hollywood, it has the most popular CG special effects in recent years as a gimmick. Even if not to mention Godzilla fans all over the world, just relying on the popularity of this monster is enough. Attract a large number of spectators into the cinema automatically.
Therefore, Sony Film Industry has high hopes for "Godzilla". Not only did he send an invitation to Roland · Emmerich with the groundbreaking 20 million USD pay plus 15% North America Box Office, but he also made an ambitious trilogy plan from the beginning. The production budget of the film first part has also been added to 150 million all the way from the original 120 million USD. Stimulated by the outbreak of "Titanic" global Box Office, Sony Film Industry, who confidently wanted to impact 1billion USD global Box Office, raised the announcement budget of the movie to 70 million USD.
Intensive TV trailer bombing and overwhelming poster publicity have made "Godzilla" the most popular super blockbuster from the beginning of this summer, and the audience's expectations are far more than "Batman and Robin", "Casino Royale" and other summer blockbuster movies.
Under Sony Film Industry's profligate marketing campaign, almost no one in Hollywood doubts that "Godzilla" will become the most appealing film of Box Office in the summer. In order to avoid the edge of "Godzilla", after June 6th It can be said that it is completely monopolized by Godzilla. Even those small Film Studio independent movies that like to eat after the summer blockbuster movies dare not choose to be released this week. The opening scale of more than 3,300 screens also equaled the opening screen record created last year by "The Mummy2".
Under the background of "Titanic" which just created an unprecedented Box Office record, the entire movie industry is not sure for a time whether Hollywood will soon appear a Box Office monster again. Therefore, in addition to Sony Film Industry, Hollywood is big Some Film Studio followed the Box Office data of Godzilla with anxiety. Even if "Godzilla" shows only half of the potential of Box Office in "Titanic", the other films that follow will also be impacted to varying degrees under the circumstances of tradeoffs.
"Godzilla" seems to live up to expectations. Box Office closed 6250,000 USD at midnight on the day of the painting. You know, "Jurassic Park" that broke the Box Office record of midnight a few years ago, the Box Office data was only 4.59 million USD at that time. .
However, perhaps it also fits the truth that the higher you stand, the worse you fall.
After the opening of the midnight show, on Friday, the North America media newspaper poured the cold water on this super blockbuster.
"It's too spectacular, it's really spectacular, it seems that the special effects blockbuster is not a panacea."
Beverly Hills top mansion, early in the morning, turning over the fax passed by the Fox publishing department, Elizabeth was obviously a little excited and so emotional, but how to listen to the tone is a bit sour.
Although it has the convenience of alliance with Firefly and the shares of the Australian branch in the digital field, it can easily use the industry's top special effects production resources, but there is no CG special effects blockbuster released this year in Fox, except for the production. The pre-started "Star Wars" and several special effects movie projects prepared by Fox are in the early stage of preparation.
Eric took the breakfast from Julia, opened the laptop on the dining table, and glanced at Elizabeth, jokingly said: "What time is it, and still use the old communication method such as fax, come, let me introduce you Yahoo's enterprise mailbox system. "
Elizabeth gave Eric a blind eye and despised: "Also said, the price is so expensive, when I reported the budget, I was almost rejected by Board of Directors. I already used AOL," suddenly thought of AOL Firefly invested in the company, Elizabeth added another sentence: "Microsoft is also good."
Julia went to the kitchen again and brought his breakfast with Elizabeth. He sat down at the dining table and asked, "Liz, what spectacular did you just say, the movie review of Godzilla?"
Elizabeth is again interested, saying: "Yeah, listen to me miss Oh, this is a part of the film reviews that the company just counted this morning."
"Entertainment Weekly: Although there are some exquisite and exciting shots, the junk science fiction blockbuster created by 100 million 50 million USD brings more embarrassment than shock."
"《Variety》: Not to mention the big scenes that make people feel uninteresting, this monster movie as a whole gives a sense of uncoordinated eccentricity, Director obviously did not catch the soul of the story."
"Also, Roger · Albert also published a film review on" Chicago Sun-Times ": 'You must accept such a movie without using your brain at all, but my brain repeatedly insists that it is not affected by it Logic is used in the welcome place. Haha, Roger is estimated to be public relations, but the film critics sound very mild, but the irony is really embarrassing. "
"This Arizona Daily Star has no mercy at all: 'It's unbearably dull and boring, it's hard to imagine how someone might like such a dump of waste." Tsk Tsk, I do n’t know if Sony offended this film critic, so I scolded so hard. "
"..."
Elizabeth buzzed more than a dozen newspaper movie reviews in one breath. Eric only heard two barely praised movie reviews. Several major Film Studios of Hollywood are basically paying attention to the Box Office performance of "Godzilla". Eric opened the e-mail. Firefly also passed some word-of-mouth and data analysis of "Godzilla".
According to dozens of United States mainstream newspaper film reviews on Friday, "Godzilla" has just been released, and the film's overall score has been pulled to a level of 3 which is totally unworthy of watching.
Although the Box Office of Midnight in Godzilla reached 6250,000 USD, the Firefly distribution department predicted that under the influence of this ultra-low reputation, Godzilla may not exceed 80 million USD in the first week of Box Office, which is far from reaching Sony's expectation of breaking 100 million in the first week.
Julia listened to Elizabeth after reading a series of movie reviews, and some said in disbelief: "The production cost of 100 million 50 million USD, no matter how bad it is, how can it be worse?"
"" Waterworld "spent 100 million 75 million, it is not a bad review, but" Godzilla "seems to be even worse, I remember that the" Waterworld "comprehensive score is still 4 points." Elizabeth said , Turned over a stack of fax in his hands, and said: "The current comprehensive score of" Godzilla "is already only 3 points. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be only one or two points. This is bad. It's really ridiculous, Eric, aren't you making trouble? "
Eric closed the analysis file of Godzilla, opened last week's Box Office statistical data email, and asked with a smile: "What is your family doing, do I still see it?"
"Well, who knows what tricks you will play in the back, but I am still a little curious about such a super big blockbuster, or should we go watch it together at night?"
"No, tonight, Robert · Iger is coming to New York, and I and Jeffrey have agreed to have dinner together. Tomorrow, I will make a small room in advance."
"Are you willing to accompany us on the weekend." Elizabeth has a happy look in her eyes and habitually sarcastically changed her eyes and then changed the topic interestingly: "Yes, how was Box Office last week?" >
"" The Lion King2 "ranked first, 55.7 million USD." Con Air "34200,000 USD, ranked second," Eric just introduced the next two movies, did not go on, looked up and laughed: " The performance of Box Office is not too high. The total Box Office in a week is only 130 million USD, which is far from the limit of 200 million USD in the summer. So if you listen to me, put "Ice Age" one week before "The Lion King2", two Stimulated by two different types of animated movies, Box Office of "Ice Age" will definitely perform very well. "
"I do n’t want you to be taken as a cannon fodder." Ice Age "is a first part movie of Blue Sky Studios, which is very shocking in case of smashing. Why do n’t you put" Finding Nemo "in front of" The Lion King2 "? /
“I ’m leaving the way for Paramount, we ca n’t bully people too.” Ice Age is different, the cost is only 59million USD, the investment is not high and the pressure is not great, it is more suitable for coexistence with big men.
"Ah."
Due to the influence of ultra-low word-of-mouth, although the performance of "Godzilla" Box Office at midnight was gratifying, it only achieved 17.5 million USD on Friday. The subsequent Box Office score on Saturday was only slightly improved to 19300,000 USD. On Sunday, "Godzilla" The single-day Box Office of Godzilla slipped directly to the low of 16.7 million.
Although the total Box Office reached 59750,000 USD in the first three days of the first weekend, although it easily won the position of the Box Office champion in the summer weekend. However, due to the continuous bad reviews bombardment by the media for three consecutive days, on the working day, the Box Office potential of "Godzilla" seemed to suddenly disappear. The single day Box Office directly fell to the place where there were only more than 4.3 million USD. One working day, the single day Box Office of "Godzilla" continued to decline.
In the end, the first week of "Godzilla" Box Office was only 7366USD. Although this Box Office looks far better than the data of "The Lion King2" of the first week of 55.7 million USD, considering the Sony Film Industry's early bombing-like announcement offensive And the industry's general tone for "Godzilla" in the first week of Box Office breaking 100 million, Box Office of 73.66 million USD, is still far from successful.
Not to mention, the bad word of mouth is extremely destined, and this film is destined to usher in a big diving like Box Office drop next week. The "The Lion King2" after the Box Office of 55.7 million USD in the first week, the second week of "The Lion King2" Box Office fell only a very weak 24%, and then received 43.23 million USD. In two weeks, the cumulative Box Office of The Lion King2 reached 98.03 million USD It is only one step away from breaking 100 million, which will undoubtedly put more pressure on the upcoming "Finding Nemo".
However, because the market performance of "Godzilla" is not so strong, the drop of Box Office in the next week of "Con Air" is also very impressive, only 32.3%, on the basis of 34200,000 USD in the first week, and then close 23,150,000 USD, two weeks Box Office cumulative 57350,000 USD, it seems to once again show the potential of breaking 100 million.
