Andy Rogers knows enough about Renly, but even now, he doesn't dare to say that he knows Renly completely, and there are still many secrets hidden in Renly; but to this day, Andy has to admit, At least on a professional level, the senior reporters knew Renly as much as he did, and to some extent, better than him—after all, he had inside information, and the reporters didn't.
Bradley Adams of The New York Times is one of them.
Bradley was a reporter, not a critic—the New York Times review was written by Elizabeth Weitzman, who gave it a 90; report, and he pieced together the truth from the limited information.
About the story between Renly and the script, about the reason why Renly modified the role of Owen... These twists and turns hidden behind the scenes are precisely the focus of the discussion of "bad review, moderate review and good review", which directly proves that Renly and The indirect relationship between the quality of the finished film is very interesting.
While Renly's "invincible halo" is widely circulated throughout Hollywood, not even the Big Six studios can't wait to discuss the impact of the name "Renly-Hall" on the film project, and then there is a throng of throngs And to, hope to use Renly to win more benefits.
But in fact, there are still a small number of people in the industry who truly understand the meaning of the "halo of invincibility". It seems that the "halo" is just an invisible and intangible concept, just like unconditionally trusting God, only from those "gods who have succeeded at the box office" It is inferred that this halo exists objectively, but no one can know why Renly is undefeated? The relationship between work quality and Renly? Can such undefeated be replicated
Now, Bradley has given his own answer: the so-called "invincible halo" is not just an intuition, Renly clearly knows what he is doing, and also knows what he should do, which makes Outside of the cast, Renly steered the work on the right path through script advice and producer duties, and ultimately found the code for success—which can be replicated, and is being replicated.
From the improvement in the quality of the finished product of "Jurassic World", to Renly's ability as a producer, to the development prospects of Sisyphus Pictures...
Bradley's game of chess is not too big. Of course, Bradley didn't blatantly praise Renly and Sisyphus Films. Now it's just propaganda and momentum, unknowingly transferring Renly's actor's undefeated aura to the producer's undefeated aura, and wait until the right time. Mature, and the image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is established, then the business that Sisyphus Pictures is trying to accomplish will be able to open up smoothly.
But I don't know what role the "New York Times" played behind.
Compared with those praises, Andy was more interested in Bradley's follow-up report, and then thought carefully about whether he should contribute to the flames, and how to guide him quietly... Suddenly, countless thoughts in my mind began to churn.
It took a while for Andy to withdraw his thoughts and continue to read all the remaining comments.
Each review has its own perspective and point of view, and the scores are different, but in the end, the overall trend of movie reviews can be glimpsed.
Forty-nine first batch of film reviews, three negative reviews, fifteen moderate reviews, and thirty one positive reviews.
Overall, in Renly's work sequence, it is neither the best nor the worst, but it still remains above the standard; however, the praise score obviously does not reach the height of "praise frenzy", with an evaluation of more than 90 points. There are only five articles, and the main score still falls between 70 and 80.
But as the "Hollywood Reporter" said: This is a popcorn suitable for summer, which is more popular with audiences than "Edge of Tomorrow", "Interstellar" and other works, and its positioning should be closer to "Fast and Furious 5", The scores of the comprehensive media reviews just prove this approachable characteristic.
Seventy-three points.
This is the final comprehensive media score of "Jurassic World", the first batch of comments from 49 media, with an average score of 73 points.
Compared with the countless "best careers" in the past two years, the scores and evaluation popularity are far inferior, and the downward trend is particularly obvious, but the 73 points are still above the standard, and for commercial films, it has reached "" Good" height, Colin Trevorrow did the job well.
After carefully scanning all the comments, the serious look between Andy's eyebrows has all disappeared, and it can be judged only from the media's comprehensive comments, "Jurassic World" has achieved half of the success - the word-of-mouth level is still maintained. Renly's usual standards, at least not disappointing.
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
More importantly, other ratings are all red.
Rotten Tomatoes Fresh Index, 83%; Mass Media Score 7.8.
Popcorn Index, 93 percent.
Theater score, "A+".
Full blast! It is worth mentioning that this is the first work in the history of Renly to receive an "A+" in theater scores!
It is true that Renly is now at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, and there is no doubt about its box office appeal, but because the performances are still mainly art films, even commercial films are not conventional lines, which also means that Renly and the main market force There is a certain gap between the audience -
The summer journey curve of the two works "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Interstellar" is the best proof.
And now, Renly's first solo movie with a full score in theaters has finally appeared, which has caused the majority of the news media to be unable to contain their excitement.
Could it be that Renly is really about to usher in the outbreak of its heyday
If you add in excellent data such as Rotten Tomatoes, Popcorn, etc., all the evidence is showing that this summer may be the best opportunity for Renly.
"Half success", as Andy thought, judging from Renly's industry status and market appeal, excellent word of mouth can only be regarded as the first step of success. If there is no explosion of box office data, then for Renly That said, this is still far from being a successful work.
So, how high should Renly's box office expectations be
Up to now, the highest box office data of Renly's personal work is "Gravity", which is 635 million in North America and 1.643 billion in the world. In addition, in North America, "Edge of Tomorrow" with 500 million and "Interstellar" with 400 million followed closely. These are also Renly's three works that have exceeded 1.1 billion at the global box office, creating an unparalleled Renly industry status.
"Even 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'Interstellar' have exceeded 400 million in North America. So, does 'Jurassic World' require at least 500 million guarantees?"
Look, that's what the industry expects from Renly.
Even if they deeply understand that the market box office is definitely not just a feat that can be accomplished by Renly's appeal alone, there are too many factors influencing it - without too many examples, the North American box office of "Avengers 2" may be Will stop at 450 million, which can explain too many problems.
But industry insiders still have too many expectations for Renly News, even more than the Marvel superheroes represented by Robert Downey Jr.
"Jurassic World" took the lead in the media reputation, which also made the news media's expectations for the box office trend continue to rise.
The heat is almost off the charts.
After the grand premiere that slammed the whole of North America, "Entertainment Weekly" was the first to make a prediction that they believed that "Jurassic World" would reach at least $180 million at the opening weekend, and have a shocking two. billions of dollars—even more than that of "Avengers 2".
The expectations are so high that people are not sure whether "Entertainment Weekly" is sincere, or is it just killing it.
Not long ago, "Avengers 2" officially premiered. At that time, major media predicted that the film's opening weekend box office was likely to exceed 200 million, creating a new record in North American film history—
So far, only one work can break through the $200 million threshold in its opening weekend. It was 2012's "The Avengers", with 207 million figures, a global sensation, which also made people's sequel. The movie is full of more expectations, and I hope it can reach a higher level.
But in the end, the premiere data of 190 million US dollars was still sensational and shocking, but it was a big disappointment, causing the late box office trend curve of "Avengers 2" to plummet.
Now, "Entertainment Weekly" can't wait to put the "cap" on the head of "Jurassic World". Compared with last summer, everyone was waiting for the weekend box office breakthrough of 100 million works. Is this right? In a hurry? Is this overrated? What exactly is going on
The reality is that not only "Entertainment Weekly", but other news media's box-office forecast numbers are not inferior.
The New York Times predicted 150 million.
The Los Angeles Times predicted 170 million.
The Hollywood Reporter predicts 140 million.
The forecast figures of the three authoritative media are simply listed, and it is clear at a glance. Even the most cautious and low-key media have high expectations for the film's box office performance. Everyone is looking forward to it. Renly can also be a big hit in the summer and truly prove that he is "Hollywood No. 1" People", and the first reviews after the premiere of "Jurassic World" are so capable, there's no reason to be conservative.
In the first round of weekend box office predictions, the lowest number came from "Empire", who believed that the opening weekend of "Jurassic World" should remain at the level of 120 million; and the highest number was "Entertainment Weekly" Prediction.
It can be seen from these small details that all the media around the world are focused, looking forward to the "magic of Renly" to work miracles again.
This kind of expectation has made the pressure rise, even surpassing the momentum before the release of "Avengers 2", which is a good thing, but also a bad thing.
Even Andy is inevitably a little nervous—because the box office is an unknown, uncontrollable and unpredictable. So what will be the result
