Hollywood Road

A film, especially a genre with a large number of fans, will inevitably be opposed by a group of firm supporters. Human history has witnessed this countless times. No matter politics, economy, or the film industry are exceptions.

At the premiere and early stage, CinemaScore also received some negative scores, especially the few Superman fans wearing underwear, violently attacking "Man of Steel".

"Lack of the most basic logic, there are still some pictures that make me sick, aliens destroying various buildings, wandering countless times on the way, massaging their forehead countless times, wasting my time and money."

"How bad a superhero movie can be, just look at this "Man of Steel" by Murphy Stanton."

"Murphy Stanton ruined Superman, a sunny character who turned into a lost ordinary person in his hands. It's ridiculous."

Although it's midnight, CinemaScore is brightly lit. Every weekend is their busiest time. Data faxes from all over North America often make the company work up and down all night.

The sky just turned white. The two on-duty managers working in the same office got the same data. According to CinemaScore's operating rules, they need to sign on the data page at the same time before the statistics can be officially announced and effective.

"Ha, it's interesting." The older person looked at the statistical report and said, "Of the people who received our survey and consultation, 82% gave an A+ super-high score, but there were also Twelve people gave D- the extreme difference."

The younger man held down his glasses and said, "The reputation of "Man of Steel" may split into two extremes."

"The possibility is very high." Older people agree with him. "From the statistical data, there will be a small group of viewers who do not approve of this new Superman movie."

He suddenly asked again, "What do you think of the box office?"

"The box office won't be bad." The spectacle man thought for a moment and said, "Throughout North America, there are still many people who like dark and deep movies."

Older people quite agree with him, "Murphy Stanton's previous films such as "The Lost Lovers" have also proved this."

This type of film has never lacked an audience. Murphy's appeal is increasing year by year. On Friday, the Sun just climbed the Santa Monica Mountain, and he got the premiere plus advance box office passed by Warner Bros. .

On Thursday night, in the early stage of the show at 3,500 theaters at the same time, "Man of Steel" won $13.8 million.

This box office number is not comparable to the same period data of "Spider-Man 3" released two weeks ago, but for Murphy and Warner Bros., it is a good enough start. The most important point is that "Spider-Man 3" regardless of the media The audience's reputation is still very poor, and "Man of Steel" is just the opposite.

Although some negative reviews were quickly released after the early screening, positive reviews still accounted for most of the reviews of "Man of Steel".

In terms of professional film critics, well-known film critics headed by Roger Albert have basically given good reviews. Perhaps the tone of this film is indeed very appetizing to them.

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times commented, "Although "Man of Steel" is a movie adapted from a comic, it is also a dark and highly complex drama."

Almost all well-known film critics posted their comments on "Man of Steel" in newspaper columns or on their own blogs.

"In the compact action plot design of "Man of Steel", Murphy Stanton used more angles and a wider perspective to shoot. The nearly perfect picture shocked the audience. If you were lucky enough to watch this movie last night , You will be more pleasantly surprised and excited. The extraordinary thing about this film is that it tells the audience that a hero continues to grow in his life experience and inner fear and nightmare."

——Richard Chris of The New York Times

"If "Man of Steel" is the oldest and most ambitious work in its genre, it is by no means an exaggeration. In terms of conceptualization, creation, performance, and directing, it surpasses all "Superman" series, even beyond Superhero movies adapted from all comics. This superman reboot, led by Murphy Stanton, is a dark, complicated and disturbing movie, at least because it grafts comic heroes into the blueprint of real reality. Instead of just creating a superman wearing an elastic fiber costume, although such a difference may not make a big difference to those who are looking forward to the return of the Sky Knight, I can say here: "Steel "The Body" is the first comic-based film that has truly achieved great artistic achievement so far!"

—Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun.

The former Pulitzer Prize winner not only gave "Man of Steel" a super high score of nine points, but also gave two thumbs up!

In addition to film critics’ columns in the media, magazines such as "Premier", "Hollywood Reporter", and "Film Weekly" are also praised.

"The "Man of Steel" viewing report, fiercely argued between humanity and divinity, superheroes have gone through the vicissitudes of life, and Wonder Woman is eye-catching."

"This is an absolute model of Hollywood superhero movies and represents the highest level of Hollywood filmmaking art. Murphy Stanton has brought a charming work."

"This film continues the excellent elements of Murphy Stanton's works, the gloomy atmosphere, the ups and downs of the story, and the interesting characters, making this two-hour blockbuster look very exciting."

"Man of Steel" is a dark and heavy movie. It carries far more weight than a superhero movie can carry. Its global box office may not be as good as "Spider-Man 3", but it may be The best superhero movie. Compared with the flaws of the heroes discussed in "Man of Steel" and the weaknesses of mortals, "Spider-Man 3" is really a pediatric."

"Through "Man of Steel", Murphy Stanton convinced us for the first time that melodramas derived from popular culture can also have charms comparable to Greek mythology."

During the day on Friday, as a newly released film, "Man of Steel" easily surpassed "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3" in terms of audience number and attendance rate, becoming the most popular film of the day.

As a well-known **** supporter of Murphy, Daisy spoke in the IMDB discussion group one after another, calling on the discussion group members to go to the theater as much as possible to support "Man of Steel".

"This is a movie that is worth watching repeatedly. In addition to being a possibility, it is also necessary to watch the movie repeatedly. From the perspective of the design of the film, this kind of adrenaline stimulus is far from complete. Satisfaction, the film's racing-like speed, shocking sound effects, blood-spraying background music, and rollercoaster-like plots one after another, I believe that no one can be enthusiastic when watching it for the first time!"

Just like "Titanic", a movie that hits the box office, it is important to attract as many new audiences as possible, but it is also important to let old audiences enter the theater to watch repeatedly.

There is no relaxation in Warner Bros' publicity and marketing. The Internet navy is an indispensable publicity link in Hollywood movies today. No one can deny that navy can sometimes affect the perception of some people.

On Friday night, various scoring data that can be counted were passed to Murphy one after another. It is no exaggeration to say that although "Man of Steel" encountered resistance from some audiences and low scores, its overall reputation It is still going higher, showing a clear trend of opening higher and higher.

On the IMDB website, 18,957 users participated in the scoring, with an average score of 8.8; the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting the reputation of professional film critics, was as high as 85%, the overall score was 8.2, and the popcorn index was 92%; In CinemaScore's statistics on Friday, even though many people gave D- ratings, the live audience ratings remained high at A+...

Almost all of this indicates that "Man of Steel" will be a big box office movie, at least in the first North American region, the box office will not be bad.

The fact is indeed the case.

On Saturday morning, Warner Bros. gave Murphy the first-day box office statistics of "Man of Steel" in North America. The film was opened in 4,250 theaters in North America at the same time. According to Hollywood's calculation rules, it counts the amount obtained on Thursday. With an early box office of $13.8 million, "Man of Steel" earned a total of $46.2 million from North America on its first day.

This number is far from the North American first-day box office of "Spider-Man 3", but Warner Bros. is very excited. With a single day of box office gains, "Man of Steel" almost keeps up with the opening weekend of "Superman Returns". Days of total box office in North America!

The total North American box office of US$46.2 million can basically guarantee the box office revenue of "Man of Steel" during the opening weekend, and it cannot be lower than the minimum expected US$100 million of Warner Bros.

In this respect, "Man of Steel" has already achieved a considerable part of its success.

The word-of-mouth and first-day box office numbers of "Man of Steel" are inevitably used by Warner Bros. as a publicity hype. These can indeed attract some passers-by audiences. The excellent performance of the film also makes DC fans happy. In recent years, DC Comics has been under constant blows in the field of film adaptation. Not only has it lost the absolute dominance of the comic film field, it has also been surpassed by its deadly rival Marvel Comics.

On the Internet, surprised fans often laugh at DC fans.

This time, DC fans are finally exasperated, and of course they will not let go of the opportunity to counter the surprise fans.

"Look at the depth of "Man of Steel" and then "Spider-Man 3". The two sides are not at the same height. Take the action scenes, in front of Superman and Wonder Woman, what Spider-Man, X-Men and The Fantastic Four and the like, are basically making appointments with elementary school students!"
