1514 box office potential
From Venice to Toronto to New York, "Gravity" has been making great progress all the way. When the movie was officially released, people had already anticipated the arrival of a wave of praise. At least from the professional media, there should not be too many surprises; but When the incident actually happened, the wave of praise from the mass media, senior movie fans and ordinary audiences still exceeded expectations..
Comprehensive media review, 99 points, undoubtedly created history.
On the Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index, 328 mass media participated in the rating, and the freshness reached 97%, with a final average score of 9.3 points; in horizontal comparison, the freshness of "Avatar" was 80% Three, the average score is 7.5. "Gravity" is leading in all aspects.
From professional media to mass media, sweeping all the way！
IMDB's senior audience ratings. After the website officially opened the ratings, audiences who had watched the movie early in the previous three film festivals and premieres immediately rated it. The number of ratings quickly exceeded 10,000. Later, the website detected Nearly 2,000 netizens maliciously lowered their scores by one point. After clearing out these ratings, there are currently more than 8,000 ratings. The score is currently fixed at.
The current score of "Avatar" is 0.0, and it has not been able to rank among the 250 best works. And "Gravity" has not been able to make the list for the time being because the number of reviewers has not reached the standard. But if you look at it based on the score, this The results can rank among the top fifty of the two hundred and fifty masterpieces. It cannot be compared with "The Dark Knight" and "Inception", but it has reached the height of the premiere of "The Avengers".
It is obvious that now it is mainly Don Quixotes and film festival enthusiasts who are giving the scores. The scores are somewhat artificially high and will inevitably fall back later. However, it is undeniable that the first wave of reviews for "Gravity" is still It’s amazing. This is the first time this year that we have started like this..
In addition, the popcorn index on Rotten Tomatoes, "Gravity" has temporarily reached 90%; in terms of theater score, it has rushed to "A", and both data are inferior to "Avengers". But it’s basically the same as “Avatar”—the popcorn index is slightly higher..
For commercial movies, if the popcorn index exceeds 80%, you can basically feel at ease; while the theater score is expected to be "A" or "A-". If it can reach "A+", it will naturally be perfect. But there are only a handful of works that can achieve such results every year, and even an "A" is already a rare achievement..
From senior movie fans to ordinary viewers, everyone is famous！
With such enthusiastic viewing feedback, it easily surpassed this summer's "Iron Man 3" and became the best hit of the year; compared with other summer movies that were highly anticipated but were terrible and disappointing. "Gravity" seems to be the most suitable choice for summer viewing, so why didn't Warner Bros. schedule this work in the summer schedule?？
This is a question worth studying slowly.
Back to the topic of "Gravity", everything from the history-making premiere to the sweeping critical response indicates that this will be a box office bomb..
“Renly Hall has done it again！”
This is an editorial from the New York Times, written by Bradley Adams. The article mentions all of Renly's works so far, ending with this year's "The Ballad of Drunkenness" and "Gravity." , the former received numerous accolades at Cannes, and the latter led the awards season, which once again proved the law of "Renly's products are guaranteed to be masterpieces".
It seems that before the official filming of each of Renly's works begins, people are wondering and speculating whether this time's work will become Renly's Waterloo.？
At the end of last year, "Detachment" encountered mixed reviews, and its box office performance was only average, far less shocking than other previous works. This was also considered by many to be a "failure" - It was a failure for Renly, who has created countless miracles, but unexpectedly, "Transcendence" completed the overtake in the sprint stage of the academy's public relations, earning Renly a Best Actor nomination for the third consecutive year..
This year, the two works "Drunken Country Folk" and "Gravity" swept away the gloom and stood in front of the public again with an absolutely strong and domineering attitude. They once again proved their unique vision in film selection and continued their consistent " "The Myth of Invincibility", not to mention the box office performance, at the stage of word-of-mouth announcement, Renly has already won.
Bradley said at the end of the article, "You can already start to look forward to 'Blast Drummer' now; in addition, among the works rumored in the industry, are they choosing Renly, or is Renly choosing them? Maybe? , we should change a perspective and re-examine.”
From perfect reviews to special reports, the "New York Times" has added a flame to the discussion craze of "Gravity", and the expectations are rising to the sky step by step. Everything is foreshadowing a huge box office explosion. Already on the way here.
The only worry now is: does the box office potential of the autumn season really exist? Is it that the "gravity" that has created countless miracles cannot defeat the laws of the market, and is just like a mud cow entering the sea, just drowning in the desolate autumn season? There are also works that have received rave reviews but mediocre box office. Will "Gravity" become another "Superman Returns"?”？
2006In 2017, Warner Bros.’ heavily invested film “Superman Returns” was released in the summer season, with a comprehensive media review score of 72%, a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 75%, and a mass media score of 7%. For Mihua movies, it is already above the standard..
But as a result, this film caused Warner Bros. to lose more than $150 million..
So, can the box office potential of "Gravity" be fully unleashed in the fall? Or, in other words, does "Gravity" have the box office potential that everyone is expecting?？
On October 4th, Friday, "Gravity" officially held its general release; on the same day, there was another blockbuster film, "The King of Aces"”.
When talking about "The Ace", you have to mention Ben Affleck.
At the beginning of this year, the counterattack of "Escape from Tehran" at the Oscars ceremony triggered numerous topics of discussion. Affleck, whose acting career has been at a low ebb for many years, has made a comeback in one fell swoop, and has received various invitations. In this way, after going through all kinds of hardships, I returned to the desktop..
On the one hand, Affleck is beginning to prepare for his next directorial work; on the other hand, the actor's career has also reopened. After Kevin Tsujihara took over as CEO of Warner Bros., there were even rumors in the industry that he hoped Affleck can star in Batman, which is an olive branch extended by Kevin to Affleck——
As we all know, without Jeff Robinoff, there would be no Ben Affleck. Affleck’s three directorial works so far are all directly related to Robinoff, and even Robinoff is famous for his career Career as a guarantee, paving the way for Affleck. But now that Warner Bros. has changed its administration, Affleck must also make his own choice..
Of course, Kevin chose Affleck not only because of Robinoff, but also because he believed Affleck was the best candidate for Batman. It was bluer than what Barry Meyer was considering. Etiquette is much more reliable.
However, rumors are still rumors for the time being, and there is nothing in the industry to prove it, let alone implement it..
Returning to the project of "Ace", this work is about Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's "Boston Gang" members Brian Koppelman (Brain-Koppelman), David Levy Works in collaboration with David-Levien.
Brian and David are screenwriters, actors, producers and directors, but their main job is still screenwriters. They have collaborated with Affleck and Matt on works such as "The King of Gamblers" and "Ocean's Thirteen". They are the only two writers in the industry. It can be said that they are a screenwriter partner with mediocre abilities, but relying on the care of the "Boston Gang", they can always find projects, and the same is true for "Ace of Ace".
The movie was inspired by the classic poker movie "Blackjack," which tells a story about a Texas Hold'em poker scam. Unfortunately, the script project failed to get much attention. In the end, it relied on Affleck's matchmaking, and 20th Century Fox was willing to Invested 30 million US dollars and built the entire crew.
The director chose Brad Furman, who had only filmed "The Lincoln Lawyer" the year before last. This was his second time as a director; but the cast relied on Affleck's Name, looking for Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton (Gemma Arterton) and Anthony Mackie (Anthony Mackie) to join.
To put it simply, this is a work that 20th Century Fox has established a good relationship with Affleck. The main purpose is to let Affleck look handsome and enjoy the aura of an actor again..
However, 20th Century Fox worked very hard in the early promotion and allocated a lot of resources. Although the investment cost was only 30 million US dollars, there were 3,100 theaters showing it. It can be said that it is the same as "Gravity" On the same level; moreover, the film company has arranged many itinerary activities in terms of promotion, especially with Justin Timberlake also as the leading actor, they really took advantage of a lot of Renly's hot spots.
It's a pity that the film's reputation has completely failed..
The overall media review score was 36 points, the Rotten Tomatoes freshness index was only 8%, and the mass media score was 4 points. It was completely ruined. Affleck was once again scolded bloody. Almost everyone believed that he should stick to the director's job while giving up the challenge of being an actor because he's a really, really bad actor
However, even under such circumstances, no one could predict the box office debut of "Ace". After all, at this year's Oscars, he definitely stole the show and returned to the top of the focus of discussion..
More importantly, "Ace" and "Gravity" are two completely different movie types. So, how will the box office market choose? Although no one cared about this duel at all, the duel was inevitably staged.！
