Daenerys and Time Warner have full confidence in the quality of "Justice League: Invasion", not to mention that after investing a large amount of public relations expenses, the film's reputation was directly lifted the day after the premiere.
As expected, the comprehensive media score reached 9.1 points.
A classic in film history.
In terms of comments, the most representative one should be the "Hollywood Reporter", whose front page the next day only used one word in black and bold: "Epic!"
From "Batman Begins" 11 years ago to the present, after a long period of construction of the DC movie universe, we finally ushered in this superhero assembly that is more grand than "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in 1995. For this For a series, the word 'epic' is more appropriate.
After the global media bombarded "Justice League: Invasion" with a large-scale ultimate public opinion on Thursday, that night, the North American midnight screening opened.
Then came the next day.
This super blockbuster, which cost US$250 million to promote and release, and has a promotional expenditure of US$100 million, has officially launched in North America and multiple markets around the world.
In the North American market alone, the number of opening screens for "Justice League: Invasion" has reached a new high of 5,345, including all 227 IMAX screens in North America.
The number of opening screens exceeding 5,000 is mainly due to the large-scale reduction of screenings of previous old films, as well as the fact that Daenerys and Time Warner themselves have allowed their own projects to avoid this film, resulting in a large number of screen vacancies.
Of course there are other considerations.
Simon's attitude is that for such a crushing super blockbuster, the sooner it can release its box office potential, the better, so as to make room for other films to survive as soon as possible.
Globally, there are a total of 63 overseas markets including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., which will be launched simultaneously. Even if it is not as good as it will be a few years later, it is already unprecedented.
While DC fans and a large number of passersby interested in this series entered the venue under overwhelming crowds, what media around the world paid close attention to was the box office of this movie.
The first indicator of the success of any movie is the box office.
Otherwise, no matter how many awards you win, if it fails at the box office, no matter how high the honor you get later, in the eyes of filmmakers, the first reaction will often be 'that movie that lost money'.
In the frenzy, the long but short day passed quickly.
The time has come to November 18th.
At around one o'clock in the morning on Saturday, with countless media and movie fans who stayed up late at night in anticipation, the Ingrid portal first released a rough estimate of the box office in the North American market. On the first day of filming, "Justice League: Invasion" made preliminary estimates of approximately 46 million. !
In the following hours, more detailed data was updated, with the exact figure being $46.37 million.
Film history records are born again.
When a large number of long-awaited paper media began to rush to print the relevant news in the next morning's newspaper, the Internet platform was in a state of carnival. The top ten hot searches on FB platform related to "Justice League: Invasion" in a short period of time. It increased from four to seven.
This is the early morning of Saturday, which is supposed to be a day off!
Visible heat.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in addition to the seven in the top ten FB hot searches for "Justice League: Invasion", there are two others related to Victoria's Secret. One is the Victoria's Secret University that will open this Saturday night. Xiu, the other one, is the news that a certain unlucky Korean Victoria's Secret Angel, Shin Chae Hye, held a press conference to apologize to the Chinese people.
It has to be said that with the rapid popularity of the Internet, Korean netizens quickly showed a fighting capacity similar to that of the "Youtube Wuchang".
When it was discovered that the only model selected for the Victoria's Secret Show, a global fashion event, had to withdraw due to an accidental fracture, apart from a small amount of consolation, most voices tended to denounce Shin Chae Hye.
Being selected for the Victoria's Secret catwalk, for Koreans, can be regarded as an honor for their country.
However, you were so careless that you broke your leg just before the big show. This is not only a failure to the fans, but also a failure to the country.
You should apologize!
Apologize!
This was initially just public opinion on the Internet, but as the news was confirmed, South Korea's traditional media also joined in the discussion and condemnation.
With the penetration of the Westeros system into South Korea, this would not cause any trouble. The problem is that Simon is too lazy to pay attention to such small things, and Shin Chae Hye's team in South Korea initially thought that such reports would increase her popularity. , and not too much suppression.
So it got out of control.
Faced with the pressure of public opinion, Shin Chae Hye, who still had a cast on one leg, had to fly back to South Korea. The day before the Victoria's Secret show was held, and this Friday was also the global premiere of "Justice League: Invasion", the show was held pitifully. The press conference apologized to the people.
Moreover, the inside story cannot be revealed at all.
Two models fought over a spot in the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and one broke his arm and the other broke his leg. If they really make a fuss, it's not a matter of condemnation, it's a matter of scorn.
Shen Caihui didn't mind that Quan Youzhen was despised by the whole people. However, a certain man had already determined this issue, and she didn't dare to make an independent decision.
He didn't even dare to reveal the news privately.
As for Quan Youzhen, he had hidden himself so tightly during this period that he wished he could dig a hole and hibernate for a while.
After Shin Chae-hye's apology, coupled with the operation of public opinion resources related to the Westeros system in South Korea, public opinion also turned towards forgiveness and sympathy.
Victoria's Secret officials also provided timely assistance, expressing their regret and sympathy for Shin Chae-hye's failure to attend. At the same time, they also stated that the lady will still have the opportunity to participate in the catwalk show next year.
Now that everything is like this, everyone can no longer blame Shin Chae Hye. Therefore, some Korean netizens called for a replacement Korean model to participate in this big show. After all, there is not only one model in their country.
Just like...
for example…
Well, it seems like someone is missing. Where is it
Such voices were naturally ignored. The show time was approaching and there was no time to choose someone, not to mention that a certain boss had already been confirmed.
Washington DC.
In the affluent area of Williamsburg on the northwest outskirts of the city, there are estates nestled among evergreen trees and neat hedges.
I woke up in the morning between two beauties who looked very similar. On one side was Kristen Scott Thomas, and on the other side was Juliette Binoche.
Regarding Gosford Park, which has recently begun casting.
Both women participated.
When Simon first saw Kristen Scott Thomas' makeup photos, he felt very stunning, so he invited the actress to come to Washington to take a closer look while he was busy.
The role is basically predetermined.
It is the original version after all.
Juliette Binoche was one of the losers, but she came anyway.
Both of them are British beauties with both appearance and temperament. After an in-depth exchange, Simon felt that his temperament had been somewhat sublimated.
Um.
All right.
It was a cold winter day, and they were a little tired last night. The two women chose to stay in bed, and Simon dressed and washed alone. After morning exercises, the time came to seven o'clock.
When Simon entered the restaurant, there was already someone waiting, a tall, thin, and not well-off senator with long hair.
He became famous more than ten years later.
During a dinner meeting arranged in advance, the two mainly discussed some diplomatic topics targeting Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe is also a top priority for the next layout of the Westeros system, and it is by no means limited to Ukraine.
At the end of the meal, the two reached a tacit understanding.
Mr. Congressman will cooperate with the political and economic expansion of the Westeros system in Eastern European countries. Simon, on his side, will support him to become the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee after George W. Bush comes to power.
In addition, Simon was very satisfied with this person. During the two people's meal, the other party never mentioned the general election that had just passed.
Simon has participated in various social interactions in Washington in the past week, but many Washington dignitaries expressed their dissatisfaction directly in front of Simon. Although most of them were private conversations, Simon's method was also very simple, keeping accounts.
Simon also knew that a biting dog should not bark.
However, Simon's goal is to prevent these people from even screaming in front of him.
After sending away a certain senator who liked to whisper in the ears of pretty little girls, Simon returned to the villa, once again chose a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, and opened a box office report sent by Girl A.
Two ladies, who were wearing only cool skirts in a warm room, also came in together.
Saying good morning, Simon casually took Juliette Binoche, who approached first, into his arms, kissed her face, and then turned to Christine, who was leaning on the armrest of the single sofa: "Have you had breakfast?"
Kristine nodded, still smiling, and said jokingly: "Julie ate a lot. She was obviously exhausted last night."
Simon also laughed and reached over: "Let me see how much you have eaten?"
Juliette Binoche held down the man's big hand and stared at Christine next to her with a red face: "Don't you... also eat a lot?"
Kristen's expression was more teasing, and she said with a weird smile: "I didn't, it was obviously eaten by you alone."
Um.
This doesn't seem to be a thing.
Juliet, who looked very embarrassed, raised her hand to pinch her, but Simon hugged her: "Okay, lady, I want a lady."
Kristen didn't make any more jokes and turned to the report in the man's hand: "Simon, are these the box office data of "Justice League: Invasion"? What a pity. I originally planned to watch it as soon as possible?"
