Best Movie Star

Chapter 584: false promotion

On its first day of release, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" took in $56.15 million from more than 4,300 theaters in North America, easily surpassing the $14.21 million of "Shrek 3" entering its second week of screening, as expected , became the day's North American box office champion.

However, this third film not only has a bad reputation in the media, but also has a poor reputation among fans. Perhaps the fans had too high expectations for the finale of the trilogy, but the result was a little procrastination. s work.

After the first day of screening in many theaters in North America, Cinema announced that the average score of movie theater audiences was only "B+", which was a significant decline compared to the first two films. The authoritative media comprehensively evaluated the average score of 35 media included in MetaCritic was only 55 points.

Cinema estimates that "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" will hit around $350 million at the North American box office.

In addition, the Rotten Tomatoes website collected 68 movie reviews, with a freshness rating of only 56%, marked as rotten.

The only thing fortunate is that the IMDB score, which is mainly based on fans, is not bad, and the film has an average score of 7.6 points so far.

With the first two films, there are many viewers willing to pay for "The End of the World".

But this situation is bound to be unsustainable, and the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow cannot be endless. When the film itself does not improve, it will not take too long, many audiences will abandon the series.

Matthew will not star in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series again, and he does not need to continue to worry about the future of this series. The three films starring him are enough for Nobu to be a box office hit.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" box office should not be a problem.

As the Memorial Day holiday kicks off, theaters across North America are seeing peak viewing, arguably the best time to go before the Independence Day holiday, and other companies fear the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise's reputation and the two previous This weekend's massive box-office figures, almost no other film opened on a large scale this weekend.

The main competitor of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is still "Shrek 3", and "Spider-Man 3" has been screened into its fourth weekend, unable to compete with this newly opened film.

After beating "Shrek 3" on Friday, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" once again topped it at the single-day box office on Saturday, taking in $37.7 million per day.

Meanwhile, another voice has emerged on the internet, with many of Matthew's fans taking his personal blog as a position to protest against Disney and the crew's cuts to Will Turner's role in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, allowing He went from one of the leading actors to a supporting actor.

On Sunday, even Matthew's extreme fans protested in front of Walt Disney's headquarters in Burbank.

This is something that neither Matthew nor Disney thought of.

"I'm so angry that Disney lied to us!"

In front of the Walt Disney headquarters in Burbank, Phyllis Beretta looked angrily at the main entrance of Disney, greeted her companions to show a protest sign to reporters, and then said to the extended microphone, "They claimed in the propaganda Matthew is the leading actor, but after the film was released, Matthew's role was so small that he could only be regarded as a supporting actor! Disney is false propaganda!"

On both sides, those **** frontline fans echoed, "Yes! Disney false propaganda!"

"Disney is a shameless liar!"

"Disney has to give us a word! Must give Matthew a word!"

"Disney..."

Fans agitated here, attracting the attention of many media reporters. More and more reporters gathered in front of the Disney Studios to take pictures and interviews with high spirits.

Phyllis Beretta only accepted an interview with one reporter, and then she kept her mouth shut. The movie she watched yesterday really made her angry, and there was news circulating on the Internet in the past two days. It was not Matthew who took the initiative at all. It was Disney who left him out of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Hearing these news, she and other fans spontaneously came here to protest Walt Disney's shameless behavior.

In a rooftop restaurant not far from Walt Disney, a short, fat-headed man stood in front of a huge window, smiling as he watched what was going on there.

"Harvey..." said a person who looked somewhat similar to him in the back. "The news you released can only add a little trouble to Disney."

Humpty Dumpty looked back at him and said, "Bob, have you forgotten what Disney did to Miramax and what it did to us?"

The guy named Bob shook his head, "Why Matthew Horner?"

"It's very simple." Humpty Dumpty seemed a little angry. "Because I don't like him. He refused my invitation several times and threw all my good intentions away!"

He said with style, "Even if it's personality actors like Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis, and thorns like Sean Penn, when they receive my invitation, they don't have to be obedient. Come up!"

Bob sighed, "That's because they want from us, they want to make a difference in the Oscars." He thought about it and said, "From all the information, Matthew Horner is not interested in the Oscars. Big."

There was a sentence he didn't say, that others don't want you, so naturally you don't need to look at your face.

Humpty Dumpty saw someone coming out of Disney's headquarters building to approach protesting fans, turned back and leaned on the windowsill, saying, "No one knows it's me."

Bob didn't speak. As a brother, no one knew the person on the other side better than him. He acted in a domineering style and didn't take other people seriously. He publicly angered Warner Bros. and Walt Disney several times, and even listened to what he said. Do not go in.

Everyone said that Harvey was up front, he was behind the scenes, and the two brothers were perfect partners.

Only fools want to hide behind the scenes and watch other female stars **** one after another, if they want to, or if they don't want to force it...

Doesn't he want this kind of happy life?

Harvey is too strong, and he is firmly suppressed, so that he has no right to speak at all...

Bob remained silent, as he had been many times in the past.

Humpty Dumpty looked back at the window, and found that Helen Herman actually went to the front of the Disney building. He didn't know what to say to those fans. The crowd of fans who were protesting seemed to have a tendency to disperse.

It was just a little bit of trouble for Disney, and he didn't expect it to last long, so he went back to the table and sat down and said, "Bob, Quentin Tarantino is writing the script for that World War II project, most of the time. The preparations will start at the end of this year, and he initially wanted to use Matthew Horner as the male lead, but Matthew Horner and Helen Herman refused my invitation several times..."

Having said this, he was a little annoyed again, "Later, Quentin turned to Brad Pitt, but Pitt..." He shook his head directly, "Unless he is willing to invest."

Bob asked with concern, "I heard that Quentin wants a production budget of more than $70 million this time?"

"Yeah." Humpty Dumpty nodded.

"Will this be too much, do we need to control the cost?" Bob was obviously worried, "Quentin's films have never been very good at the box office, and in most cases they rely on later discs and videotapes for rental. Achieving profitability, such a high cost..."

Humpty Dumpty raised his hand to interrupt him, and said directly, "I don't need to say more about this, I'll think about it myself!"

These simple and rude words made Bob a little unhappy, but for so many years, the people on the opposite side have been like this, and he seemed to be used to it.

"So, we need stars with box office appeal to drive the box office." Humpty Dumpty saw Bob's unsightly face, and explained a few words casually, "Brad Pitt's schedule is not suitable now, and his Plan B company has Wachowski's pair of perverts are about to sign a deal, and he's ready to invest and star in Wachowski's new film."

Bob asked immediately, "So, your eyes are on Matthew Horner again?"

"Quentin and I both think he is the most ideal candidate for the male lead. A tough tough soldier, a hero who dares to go deep into the enemy's lair to assassinate Hitler. No one is more suitable than him." There is no doubt in the short fat man's tone, "The most important thing is What's more, the huge box office and commercial appeal he can bring!"

"His pay..." Bob reminded ~www.readwn.com~ with a big wave of Humpty Dumpty's hand, "don't worry about that, I'll talk to Matthew Horner and Helen Herman in person. Bob , you just need to do your best to protect Quentin's side."

Bob nodded first, then said, "What if Matthew Horner refuses? Should we..."

"He refused?" The short fat man thought of the people who rejected his kindness many times, and his eyes instantly became grim, "Then he will not encounter such a little trouble today!"

Having said this, he stood up, "Quentin wants to find an actress to play a Jewish girl, and I asked her to meet for a while."

Without waiting for Bob's answer, the short and fat man strode out of the private room, as if Bob was just an employee he hired.

Seeing the plump figure disappearing at the door, Bob's long-suffering face finally flashed. However, he is the company's second largest shareholder and a well-known figure in Hollywood, but he has been firmly pressed on him.

Matthew only learned of the fan protests after Helen Herman returned from Disney headquarters.

"I talked to that black girl named Phyllis Beretta," Helen Herman told Matthew. "They went there to protest when they saw someone on the Internet spreading the news that Disney kicked you out. of."

"Who spread it?" Matthew asked.

Helen Herman shook his head, "I don't know, where can I find information on online forums?"

"Are they all gone?" Matthew didn't take it to heart, there were too many rumors on the Internet, "I hope it won't cause too much negative impact on the film."

Anyway, he's one of the leading men in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," and I certainly hope the film will be a big hit and have a great opening weekend.
