Rebirth In Hollywood

Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Ryan, who was blocked by many female Captain America at the entrance of the theater, took the poster, autograph book, etc., and marked his name on it. Although these girls were fanatical, they maintained the most basic order. , otherwise he would have to go back to the theater.

The black Rolls-Royce finally stopped at the entrance of the theater. Ryan waved to the girls, pulled Nicole, who was also busy signing autographs, and got into the car.

The speed of the car was like a turtle, and it didn't leave the street until half an hour later.

"It felt like the movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be."

Nicole hadn't seen the preview, and when she got in the car, she couldn't help but feel that the movie was a little different from what she expected, "The retro style is very good, but you transform... Well, after Captain America transforms, the quality of the movie has dropped by a notch. ."

Ryan also agrees with Nicole's words. Although the details and plot are better than the previous movie, this movie is essentially a comic, explaining the origin of Captain America, and even more so in terms of description. Focusing on the spiritual characteristics of the captain, the hot action scenes are naturally a bit worse.

"Don't worry, dear."

Grabbing Nicole's hand, Ryan kissed, "This is Captain America."

"Actually, I have never worried about the North American market." He stopped Nicole's shoulder and continued, "As long as the film can guarantee the basic quality, the North American box office is not a problem, but such an American theme film, how about the overseas market, It's hard to say."

Fortunately, there is also an international column in the movie.

"What's this?" Nicole suddenly changed into a weird tone, "The movie is starring Ryan Jenkins."

"Hey, your box office appeal isn't worse than mine." Ryan clenched her hand, and Nicole leaned on his body, "We starred in a movie as a couple, and the tabloids are starting to hype again. "

"Ignore them." Ryan waved his hand casually. If he cared about these things all day, he wouldn't have to work and live normally.

"You look stronger in the movie than you do now." Nicole said, pinching his chest, "It feels good, but not as exaggerated as it looks in the movie."

"They used some post-processing effects." Ryan made a deliberately curved arm gesture. "Of course, I'm also very strong."

After the premiere, "Captain America" ​​landed in North America across the board. The high-density publicity and the popularity accumulated by Steve Rogers over the years,

There is also the appeal of super actors such as Ryan and Nicole, which attract a large number of audiences into the theater.

In addition, there are two equally popular characters, Wolverine and Black Widow, in the film. The interaction between superheroes also played a role.

In the next few days, the film will be released in English-speaking regions such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, which are also hard-core allies of the United States.

After the film premiered, the latest overseas region to appear was Afghanistan, where the coalition troops stationed here became the first overseas audience.

In addition to movies, a large number of comics have also come to the land of war. Among them, Captain America's killing of bin Laden is undoubtedly the most popular among ordinary soldiers, and surprise has been authorized by Ryan's portrait, and the new Steve Rogers's The image is more like a cartoon version of himself.

The Pentagon purchased tens of thousands of such comics from Marvel Comics and shipped them to Afghanistan, not to mention the U.S. military. Some of them were also passed on to the Afghan civilians and were transferred to terrorists. Perhaps after bin Laden and Al Qaeda saw it , will be so angry that he vomits blood, and then makes some violent reactions.

A film released on such a large scale will certainly not be ignored by the film critics. With the marginalization of this industry, they have been borrowing the trend set off by big-selling movies to demonstrate their existence.

"Ryan Jenkins brings a believable, unpretentious poise to the character, Captain America is definitely the movie we need the most right now, and Steve Rogers may not save the world, but he brings us Inspirational."

From the "Washington Post" female film critic Ann? Honady for the film showed a high score of eight.

"USA Today" film critic Claudia Pugh also gave Captain America an eight out of 10 in her column, writing that "while the film, like all superhero movies, is somewhat ridiculous, most of the cast It's a decent performance, but it's hard not to like a movie with Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman."

"The film fully shows the spiritual beliefs of persistence, sincerity, bravery, loyalty, etc., which are enough to impress the audience." Orante Scott from the "New York Times" also gave the film a good enough evaluation.

"This film will satisfy all your fantasies about an action-stimulating blockbuster. From the beginning of the film, it is surging. The action and scene design are better than "Black Hawk Down" and "Navaron Cannon"." " Kenneth Duran of the Los Angeles Times directly gave the film nine points.

"A masterpiece in a comic-adapted movie! The style is imposing but majestic! The plot, tempered from history and human nature, presents an excellent form of agility but no lack of humor. Let go of its comic-style absurdity and absurdity, this is a An essentially mature film."

-- Roger Albert, "Chicago Sun."

This veteran film critic, who rarely approves a superhero movie, not only gave it eight points, but also raised a thumbs up.

Despite the "stupid, mediocre, lethargic" comments, the film is so in-tune with the needs of mainstream society right now that critics bent on returning to the mainstream would give It is conceivable what kind of evaluation will be made.

The traditional film critics have given high marks to the film, but on the Internet with higher degrees of freedom, those 'professionals' who rely on the Internet to gain some fame are less likely to buy it. They rely on the base camp of imdb to give this The movie showed a lower rating than the other.

In the first week after the film's release, imdb's rating fell below six at one point.

"The most boring superhero movie in history, I'm so tired to sleep!"

"The purpose of such a film is to prove that X-Men and Spider-Man are definitely not bad enough!"

"The film was so mediocre that it became a lookalike for Ryan Jenkins and Nicole Kidman!"

"If I could fast-forward, I think I could finish it in five minutes, no connotation! No art!"

This is the mainstream evaluation from imdb, some of which belong to Rotten Tomatoes. The freshness of "Captain America" ​​on this website was only more than 50%.

After a period of observation, Ryan's team determined that these two websites were not of much value to the commercial development of the movie, and the huge army hired by them simply withdrew from the two websites.

Their influence on the market is completely negligible, even less than that of traditional film critics who are gradually marginalized.

The film was released in a record-breaking 4,110 theaters, with a box office of more than $33.7 million on the first day of Friday. Although it did not achieve a box office performance of over 10,000 in a single venue, with the arrival of the weekend and the opening of the Thanksgiving holiday, The number of movie audiences has increased significantly, and the box office accumulation has also risen rapidly.

On Saturday, "Captain America" ​​ushered in its highest post-release peak, taking in more than $42 million throughout the day, and on Sunday, the situation declined, but it also reaped more than $34.6 million.

In its first three days, the film managed to snatch more than $111 million, once again proving Captain America's appeal among the American public.

In fact, in North America, Steve Rogers has long surpassed the category of comics and superheroes, and is almost a spiritual totem.

This achievement far exceeded Ryan's and Surprise's 80 million first-week box office estimates. Even most media did not expect that such a retro-style movie would be so popular with American audiences .

The North American box office market includes the United States and Canada. Compared with the enthusiastic audience in the United States, the Canadian side's response was much more lukewarm.

The influence of the times and social environment on a film is vividly reflected in "Captain America".

According to the Washington Post, the George Bush family also watched the film at the White House, and in a subsequent press conference, when a reporter asked him what he thought of "Captain America", the man was jokingly called The President of the United States with the lowest IQ of all time shouted, "It is recommended that every American citizen go and see this movie!"

Although the plot of the movie is more about showing the spirit and belief of Steve Rogers, even the battle is with a virtual villain like the Red Skull, avoiding political entanglements as much as possible, but such a movie, such a movie character , how can we completely get rid of the political influence.

Besides, this is also Ryan's intention. If it did not borrow the current socio-political environment, "Captain America" ​​simply could not have achieved such success.

In terms of the market, the film can be described as a triumphant entry. Although the popularity of the market will inevitably decline after Thanksgiving, and the number of theaters of "Captain America" ​​has gradually dropped to more than 3,700, but after a complete seven days, I still got it. $68.7 million, topping the North American box office charts for two consecutive weeks.

However, compared with North America, the response of "Captain America" ​​overseas is slightly worse, which is also normal. The American imprint on Steve Rogers is too deep.

When the third week came, the North American box office of the film easily crossed the $200 million mark, followed by a further decline in the number of theaters and attendance. What height can the final box office number reach? It has to be accumulated through long screen time.

Compared with the box office, the profit brought by the peripherals will be higher. Not to mention the follow-up TV and disc rights of the movie, nor to mention the sales of comics, after the release of "Captain America", the iconic shield has become The prop of choice for many teenagers when they frolic.

The impact of such a film is various. For Ryan, there are both positive and negative effects, but the negative effects are beyond everyone's expectations. rs()
