The Best Entertainment Era

When Twilight hit the box office last year, the industry had certain expectations for The Hunger Games, not only because it came from the same author, but also because they both dominated the New York Times bestseller list. for a long time.

The new era also needs movies and characters that fit this era.

The role of women in this era also needs to conform to the trend of social development.

Katniss is such a movie character born in time.

For a long time, women often need to make a trade-off between success and likability. Even in North America, a society that advertises freedom and fairness, the media and the public do not like women who brag about their high achievements.

This situation has changed in recent years. Some self-improvement films for women have begun to appear in Hollywood, and the heroine is no longer a cheerful silly elder sister or a pure flower vase.

In The Hunger Games, Gal Gadot was created as a strong and independent character who does not rely on men. She has a brave heart that is completely different from traditional female characters, and she also has a strong hand trained for long-term hunting. , so she not only participated in this cruel game instead of her sister, but also escaped with a pair of bows and arrows and unique skills.

Just like the interview questions Ronan saw Lindsay Beal for the first time, the character written by Lindsay Beal does not need a man to save, but will save men and even the world.

In the plot of the film, despite the help of male characters, Katniss herself is the key. The power of the show is vividly displayed.

More importantly, she became the spokesperson of class resistance in this world, exuding the spirit of resistance and freedom all over her body.

Katniss not only killed and struggled all the way, showing her own independent and strong spiritual characteristics, but also incited the freedom sentiment of the whole people with the blood of raising her hands to pay tribute at the critical moment.

The new era needs new roles, and the vigorous development of the feminist movement also needs new spokespersons.

Standing under the banner of freedom, Katniss shines with extraordinary light.

Although the monkeys among the animals are freer than these Americans living under the prism door, it does not prevent them from enjoying the freedom in movies.

Like Twilight, The Hunger Games has a large audience among teenagers, and compared to pure Mary Sue, such a heroine movie that combines sci-fi and action dramas actually has a wider audience.

Although there are strong competitors such as Thunder Dogs, Australia and Very Human Trafficker 3 in the same period,

The first two are still first-line commercial productions with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, but The Hunger Games left everyone in the industry dumbfounded on the first day of its North American opening.

This dystopian film, which features youth idols, heroines and sci-fi action, grossed US$67.26 million at the box office in 4,122 theaters in one day on Friday.

The popularity of The Hunger Games has exceeded Relativity Entertainment's most optimistic predictions.

Ronan knew that this film had achieved great success and became the commercial masterpiece of Big Cousin, but he didn't expect it to be such a powerful box office bomb.

Because of the special experience, in Ronan's eyes, The Hunger Games is not as exciting as Battle Royale, but it has touched the heartstrings of North American audiences.

Even if The Hunger Games does not have the high ticket price bonus of 3D movies, and only the 2D version is shown, it cannot stop the great success of the movie.

This also created a single-day box office record in the North American film market in November. Even the Harry Potter series did not get a single-day box office of more than 60 million US dollars in November.

Other films released at the same time, after the first day of screenings, unfortunately became the backdrop for the success of The Hunger Games.

The first is Very Human Trafficker 3, an action movie series that is relatively popular in the international market. Even with the beauty of the prosperous age, the response in North America has always been mediocre.

The third sequel only earned $3.32 million on its first day in North America.

Then there was 20th Century Fox's Australia, where Nicole Kidman once again exposed the nature of box office poison.

Last year, the production cost of The Golden Compass in which she played the leading role was as high as US$180 million, but the final box office in North America was only US$70 million.

The failure of this film also brought to naught New Line Pictures' plan to create a new magical trilogy after the Lord of the Rings series, and Warner Bros., which controlled New Line Pictures, was extremely dissatisfied with such a huge loss. With Robert Shea directly kicked out, New Line Pictures lost its independence and became a subsidiary completely controlled by Warner Bros.

After Nicole Kidman won the Oscar for Best Actress, the commercial films hit the street one after another. No one knows what 20th Century Fox thinks. In such a super giant production, invited She as the heroine.

Perhaps an Australian version of Gone with the Wind needs an Australian actress.

Having said that, there is currently no Australian actress who can support a large-scale commercial production in Hollywood. Another well-known Cate Blanchett has never had a leading actress in a large-scale commercial film so far.

Australia was even worse than The Golden Compass. On the first day of its release in North America, it only received 2.26 million US dollars.

Although it is only the first day of release, this number has fully proved that Australia has no saving value.

From A Fairy Wife, to The Golden Compass, and then to Australia, Nicole Kidman almost perfectly interpreted the curse of the Oscar queen, and realized the three consecutive commercial films.

Like most women, even first-line women, their careers are basically over, just like Halle Berry.

But Nicole Kidman is not ordinary, and will be very active in the future. Don't worry about the exposure, anyway, you can rely on the presence of the whipping brush.

As long as Tom Cruise is still popular, Nicole Kidman is still a very active star in Hollywood, and there will be no lack of attention.

In contrast, Walt Disney's Thunder Dogs is the best-grossing of the three Hunger Games competing films, earning $7.03 million in its first day of release, ranking second on Friday's single-day box office list.

The rankings are good, but the box office numbers are not ideal.

Walt Disney spent $150 million on the production of Thunder Dogs alone, hoping to revive the glory of Disney Animation Studios, so that Disney Animation can truly realize the transformation of computer animation.

But the first part of the plan fell into a pit, and it was still difficult to climb out.

The most capable and traditional animation production team of Disney Animation Studios has been transferred to Relativity Entertainment due to various reasons such as Disney's previous civil strife and lack of attention, and established a brand new Princess Animation Studio.

Today's Disney animation wants to re-emerge, and the difficulty is several times or even ten times that of the past.

Relativity Entertainment has gone the way of Disney. Disney does not say that there is no way to go, but it can only go another way, but the other way is full of hardships.

The Hunger Games was a big hit at the box office, and its reputation was better than that of The Twilight Saga, which is also a teen movie.

The film has naturally received extremely high evaluations from audiences with fans as the mainstream group, and also gave it an A score, among which 16-year-old teenagers gave it an A+; in the eyes of film critics, Rotten Tomatoes scored 100 The freshness of 85 points and the MetaCritic media review of 72 points also prove that the positive reviews account for the majority.

Facts have also proved that whether a film will gain a good reputation or not is sometimes not directly related to the quality of the film.

Many older film practitioners can't figure out why such a film with a plot, ideas, structure, and even actors' performances that don't have much to offer can get such a high box office?

Perhaps, the survey data of the Embassy Pictures can explain the problem. Among the audience on the first day of The Hunger Games in North America, women accounted for nearly 70%.

Just like the Twilight series, whether it is the script, film production, or publicity and promotion, the positioning of The Hunger Games is clear enough to accurately grasp the mainstream tastes of the target audience. Occupied a majority position, enough to guarantee the audience base of The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games has exposed the characteristics of fan movies, and inevitably brings the flaws of fan movies.

On Saturday, the film's single-day box office began to decline, even falling by more than 20%, with 50.39 million US dollars in the day.

Even so, The Hunger Games still created a record for the opening of North American film history in November!

In the three days of the weekend, the film was shown in 4,122 theaters, with a revenue of 152.54 million U.S. dollars, and it came to the top of the North American box office list with a crushing attitude!

Compared with the cost, it can be called a super hit at the box office.

Unfortunately, other films of the same period became victims.

Very Human Trafficker 3 is not bad among overseas films in North America, and its opening box office of 9.03 million US dollars is not low.

Thunder Dogs can't support Walt Disney's plan to revive Disney animation, and only earned 25.12 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend.

Australia is the most miserable, with only US$10.98 million in the opening weekend. Compared with the production cost of US$130 million, 20th Century Fox is another big blow.

Nicole Kidman is haunted by the Oscar curse, and Hugh Jackman seems to be doomed to leave Wolverine.

Behind the success of The Hunger Games is the pain and sadness of the failure of Twentieth Century Fox.

Counting a few Dragon Balls, from last summer to now, 20th Century Fox has already had five top-tier productions hit the street.

Even the top-tier companies in Hollywood began to vomit blood from the pain.

The success of The Hunger Games has had a huge impact.

The major entertainment media have described this film as 'unbelievable' and 'box office miracle'. Even if Relativity Entertainment doesn't need to do more work, they are willing to use large-scale articles on the front page to describe this incredible film. youth videos

And the nimble producers gradually feel that the era of youth films is coming.
