“For a commercial film, Paul Greengrass has injected his own characteristics, fast and sharp editing and bright and compact rhythm, which makes the viewing process full of fascinating pleasure and joy; while Renly Hall is lifelike, The effortless performance gives the film a more mature quality, finding a balance between business and art. The most important part is that his chemical reaction with other supporting actors makes the entire film outstanding..”

The North American box office of the latter two exceeded 400 million US dollars, truly detonating the market. ; At the same time, both the latter two also entered the competition during the awards season that year..

The fresh index of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 95%, and the score has also reached 8.4. 295 media participated The reviews still maintain such a high level, which is really valuable for commercial movies. It once again reminds people of the currently being screened "Avengers".”.
After the premiere, the comprehensive media reviews and the Rotten Tomatoes index are all the criteria for evaluating a movie. Because the audience base is not enough, other evaluation criteria are temporarily unavailable. However, after the premiere weekend, "Edge of Tomorrow" ranked among other Indicators also ushered in a full-scale outbreak.
IMDB's rating actually reached an incredible 8.6 points, and it was bravely introduced into the list of 250 classic films. It strongly ranked among the top 30 and temporarily settled at the 27th place. The previous one The first one is "Usual Suspect", and the second one is "This killer is not too cold". The fierce momentum is simply jaw-dropping..

Such achievements have reached a new high in Renly's career, and have also reached the level of all other actors and actresses. New high for the crew! The momentum is even more ferocious than the "Avengers"！
Any further description will seem bleak. Just listing all the scores is the best deterrent and is enough to scare away every competitor..
This is also true. The other two works in the super schedule were completely at a disadvantage and were completely suppressed..
“"Prometheus", comprehensive media review, 65 points; Rotten Tomatoes index, 73%, score of 7; Popcorn index, 68%; IMDB score, 7; theater score, B.

To sum up briefly, "Prometheus" is relatively dominant among professional reviews; while "Madagascar 3" has received more recognition among ordinary audiences..
The most likely result of this situation is that "Prometheus" will be a hit but not a hit, which is very similar to the trend of the "Alien" series; while "Madagascar 3" will be a hit but not a hit, and the trend is basically the same as the first two movies in the series. match.
However, the box office trend of the movie market is elusive, and book calculations on paper cannot be converted into box office figures after all. Excellent word-of-mouth, but actually hits the market; or word-of-mouth ruins the pot, but the actual harvest is good. There are countless such actual cases. In the final analysis, word-of-mouth and box office conversion ratio, which is elusive.
“The competition for the three works "Edge of Tomorrow", "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3" is still unpredictable..
Despite this, after the heated comments from all parties came out, the media inevitably went into a frenzy.！
Following the excitement at the premiere, "Edge of Tomorrow" once again achieved success, taking the lead in word-of-mouth among the media and audiences, especially IMDB's real-time ratings, breaking into the top 30, which really impressed people. Seeing the powerful gestures of "Inception" and "The Dark Knight", people can't help but wonder, will Renly enter the awards season with "Edge of Tomorrow" this year?？
"Pirates of the Caribbean" did it back then, and received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for Johnny Depp. Although he did not win the award, he still wrote a brilliant story; now, as the darling of the Academy, Renly seems to be heading towards the Oscar. If you follow this road, it will definitely be the hottest focus this summer..
Step by step, "Edge of Tomorrow" has never been optimistic about the abyss, turning the situation bit by bit. First, it seized the commanding heights of the topic at the premiere; then, based on the feedback and word-of-mouth, it was far ahead with an absolute advantage. .The powerful momentum is almost unstoppable, and it has the potential to soar into the sky..
This is really too exciting.
Just ten months ago, when "Edge of Tomorrow" was officially confirmed, Warner Bros. announced the candidate for the male lead, and Renly became the final candidate. For this reason, Renly also gave up his performance in the sequel of "Fast and Furious" opportunity, triggering numerous controversies and discussions.
People generally believed that this was a stupid choice and a wrong choice. They all accused Renly of being greedy for money and giving up his persistence as an actor for a salary of ten million US dollars. This was undoubtedly a bad choice that ruined his career. Some even compared this decision to George Clooney's casting in "Batman & Robin" and Ben Affleck's casting in "Daredevil".
Now, after the official release of "Edge of Tomorrow", it has not only received unanimous praise at the commercial level, but also received professional recognition at the performance and artistic level. Following "Fast and Furious 5", Renly has once again proved Yes, commercial movies can also have acting skills. This turnaround battle was won beautifully and neatly, leaving no controversy behind and killing all controversies simply and clearly..
After the Oscar ceremony in February, Renly was undoubtedly on the forefront of the limelight. He was only 22 years old and aspired to win the Oscar for best actor. This was really too young and arousing jealousy. Countless critical eyes were focused on it. Even if he traveled to the West End of London and avoided most of the slander and speculation, there were still countless sights waiting for Renly to stumble..
Clearly, Edge of Tomorrow became such an outlet.
Unfortunately, the naysayers are doomed to be disappointed.
Regardless of the box office performance, "Edge of Tomorrow" has gained a lot of praise, especially the recognition and support for Renly's acting skills. This has destined Renly to be invincible and once again proved his absolute strength. Obviously, this "rising star" has already established a firm foothold in the industry. If "Edge of Tomorrow" achieves a box office success, then Renly will go one step further and truly join the ranks of the top tier.！
Whether they are opponents or supporters, they have all realized at this time that they may be witnessing the birth of history, and that Generation Y may really have a pillar star - after Chris Hyams After Worth's box office failure, Renly's renewed hope is welcome news for the entire industry.
Naturally, all eyes are on the weekend box office charts for the second week of June.
Can the premiere box office figures previously predicted by the media still be achieved? Can "Prometheus" break the shackles of word-of-mouth and achieve a counterattack? Can "Madagascar 3" continue the advantage of audience reputation and achieve great results? Can "Edge of Tomorrow" take advantage of the excitement of the premiere and word-of-mouth to achieve a breakthrough?？
Most importantly, can popularity and word-of-mouth be converted into box office? om，.
