Best Movie Star

Chapter 356: crush the opponent

The next day, as the major newspapers and magazines went public, the number of professional film reviews collected by the Rotten Tomatoes website exploded, and the Rotten Tomatoes index of Mr.

On imdb, another website rated by movie fans, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" scored an average of 76 points among nearly 10,000 users.

Of course, as everyone knows, these ratings are basically from the early stage audience, of which Matthew and Charlize Theron fans account for a considerable number.

The situation was similar to when "National Treasure" came out, with critic ratings and fan ratings completely different.

Among the many film critics' columns, even if they are positive, there are few highly rated comments, and most of them are derogatory words.

"The film is just a mess, using the star power of Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron as a selling point to create a stupid, inflated and combative couple."

"This film is full of horror and madness, and I can't find any other suitable description other than these two words."

Compared with these, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has a much better evaluation in the mouth of fans.

"Matthew and Theron are so naughty. When they started fighting, it was just a replica of when my parents quarreled and smashed plates!"

"I like it from the beginning to the end, Matthew and Theron are two people who are a good match."

"Matthew and Theron are perfect in the film, and even more perfect in reality!"

"Ordinary action movies are supported by the chemical reaction of Matthew and Theron. The charm of these two people is too strong."

"It's easy and fun. It's quite innovative to hide some problems and conflicts between husband and wife under the interesting appearance."

"This is an excellent entertainment film, with action, humor, handsome guys and beauties, and unconventional love lines... Also, the two big stars are really sexy!"

Inside a luxurious suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, French director Louis Leterrier sat on a sofa, flipping through the latest statistics.

After reading it roughly, Louis Leterrier said to the chubby Luc Besson on the other side, "The professional reputation of "Mrs & Mrs. Smith" is far worse than our "Danny the Wolfdog". On Rotten Tomatoes, we have The mark is fresh, with an index close to 70 percent."

He fantasized, "Is it possible for us to catch up?"

Although Luc Besson is French, he is a purely commercial director, and he has entered the North American film market more than ten years ago, so he is more aware of the situation.

He shook his head, "The midnight box office of Danny the Wolf is only over $1.5 million. Do you think we can surpass it?"

Louis Leterrier wanted to say something, but was stopped by Luc Besson, "Sometimes the actual quality of a film's content does not determine the box office of a film."

Luc Besson stood up and walked around and said, "The North American film market is very xenophobic. After all, we are outsiders. Even if Jett Lee can play, his appeal is not as good as Matthew Horner."

Louis Leterrier nodded slightly, let alone Jett Lee, even Jason Statham, who has worked with him, can't compare to Matthew Horner.

Although he is a French director, Luc Besson has the rare business acumen of French directors. "I am satisfied that "Danny the Wolf" can have one-third of the box office of "Mrs. Smith" in the first weekend."

If this film wants to return to the original and even make a profit, it depends on the market outside North America. He is very clear about it. So far, no film he has directly participated in has exceeded 100 million US dollars at the North American box office.

Even if "Danny the Wolf" has a much better professional reputation, it can't compete with "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" at all.

The fact is just like what Luc Besson thought, in one day on Friday, "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" easily overwhelmed the large-scale screenings of "Danny the Wolf" and "Mrs. Kingdom of Heaven" and "Danny the Wolf", which was released on the same weekend, were extremely impacted.

Moreover, one-third of Luc Besson's estimate clearly overestimated the topicality and appeal of himself and "Danny the Wolf".

"Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" topped the list of movies on Friday with more than 143,000 searches, and "Danny the Wolf" wasn't even a fraction of that.

After entering Saturday, when the latest box office statistics are released, the situation is even more clear at a glance.

On the first day of its release, "Danny the Wolf Dog" only earned $2.73 million, not even as good as "Kingdom of Heaven", which was released for a week, and the latter won $2.87 million in a single day...

The box office winner of the day naturally belongs to "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith." This romantic action comedy, with its hot topic and highly sought-after star group, easily swept away $28.6 million from more than 3,600 theaters in North America.

Many websites and media have commented on the box office.

The "Los Angeles Times" wrote an article on the front page of the entertainment page, arguing that the chemistry between Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron on and off the screen is a key factor in the success of this action film.

"Entertainment Weekly" online edition said: The success of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" once again proved Matthew Horner's box office appeal and value to commercial films. This young Hollywood star who is rapidly rising is worthy of any crew to pay for him. A salary of more than $10 million.

Yahoo Entertainment also responded quickly: Since "The Scorpion King", all the films starring Matthew Horner have been successful at the box office, and he has proved that **** action stars are not outdated!

"The New York Times" devoted a commentary article: "Mr & Mrs. Smith"'s first-day box office hit is not so much the success of the film as it is the success of Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron, the coolest men and women in Hollywood star, saves a mediocre action movie.

The tmz website even broke the news: According to reliable sources, more than 70% of the first-day audiences in Universal Pictures' survey of theater audiences were influenced by Matthew Horner and Charlize Seychelles. Long was attracted into the theater. In other words, in the first-day box office of 28.6 million US dollars, the existence of Matthew Horner and Charlize Theron directly pulled 70% of the film's box office.

Such a simple calculation is of course unreliable, but it can also reflect the importance of Matthew and Charlize Theron for the announcement of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" to a certain extent.

On Saturday morning, Matthew and Charlize Theron came to the studio of ABC TV in Burbank to participate in ABC TV's ace show "Good Morning America", because the host and the live broadcast hall are located in Times Square, New York. , this time using a TV Wired interview.

After the weather forecast on Good Morning America ended, the interview officially began.

"Morning, Matthew!"

Inside the brightly lit studio, on the opposite big screen, host David Gibson greeted the two with a smile, "Morning, Charlize."

Matthew and Charlize waved to the camera, "Good morning, David."

Host David Gibson quickly entered the topic, "Congratulations to you two, you starred in "Mrs. Smith" yesterday got very good box office numbers."

Charlize Theron and Matthew each sat in a chair, and she made a gesture out of the camera's lens, and Matthew immediately said, "Thank you."

David Gibson asked, "In the film, you and Charlize's characters have a big fight because of emotional problems. Have there been conflicts in your life?"

Matthew didn't speak, and Charlize Theron said in a timely manner, "Of course there will be conflicts, but they are all small issues, and they often end after a few disputes."

"Are you going to shoot at guns?" David Gibson asked deliberately, "with shotguns?"

This time, it was Matthew who answered, and he said, "Of course!"

David - Gibson immediately showed an exaggerated expression.

Matthew added, "We just fought a battle at our new home yesterday..."

Hearing Matthew's words, Charlize Theron had the urge to drag him over and fight him. The two did fight yesterday, but she didn't have a gun, and the gun was on Matthew.

"There are bullet holes everywhere in our new home." Matthew had put on a joking tone, "Before the show started today~www.readwn.com~ the show team just released me and Charlize from the police station on bail, interview At the end of the day, I have to go back and continue to go to jail.”

David Gibson asked timely, "Will your engagement ceremony still be held on time?"

Matthew replied immediately, "On time of course."

Charlize Theron added, "Basically everything is ready."

Matthew followed, "Not even the end of the world will stop us from getting engaged!"

"I really envy you!" David Gibson asked specifically according to the set regulations, "Can you know the time and place of your engagement, because I also want to participate."

Charlize Theron knows very well that since the engagement is a show, how can the media reporter be absent? Immediately said, "The time is next Wednesday, and the engagement ceremony will be held at Matthew and I's new home."

This time, Matthew added, "David, your invitation has been mailed out, and it is estimated that you will receive it tomorrow."

"Is this true?" David Gibson looked surprised. "I can participate too?"

That's not true, Matthew and Charlize Theron say it just for publicity.

Charlize Theron said with a smile, "You'll know if it's real when you get an invitation tomorrow."

David Gibson also laughed, "I'm here to congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you!" Matthew thanked again.

David Gibson turned the topic back to the film, "Will you co-star in other films after "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith"?"

Charlize Theron shook his head, "There is no such plan in a short time."

Matthew followed up, "If the opportunity is right in the future, we will definitely work together again.")!!
