The shooting time always passes so fast.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
The crew is on the right track, still filming daily.
On the other side, ”Hellboy” directed by Gyro and released by Lionsgate was finally released.
The days are in the schedule a week later in ”Spider-Man 2”, which can touch the end of the summer schedule.
”Spider-Man 2” continues the hot momentum of the previous game.
The attendance rate is very high, and the midnight show won more than 4 million US dollars, creating a box office record for the midnight show.
On the first day of the premiere, there were more than 130 million people worldwide.
However, the audience of ”Hellboy” does not overlap much with Little Spider.
Lionsgate didn't want to steal Spider-Man's limelight, propaganda himself and put it into the theater.
July 3, Friday.
A very ordinary day.
”Hellboy” limited investment in publicity, and did not engage in any fancy and wasteful premiere. In the last few days before the screening, a large number of movie trailers were bombed during the midnight stage of the TV station.
Even under such circumstances, fans who should be interested will still be interested.
The cult crowd is a very weird group of people, they will specifically search for this type of movie to watch.
Therefore, directors like Gyro, who have such a reputation in the cult circle, are not bad at attendance. On average, they can reach 40%. They also got 2.85 million box office on the first day, although even the small spider's fraction can't be touched. To.
However, they are being screened globally simultaneously, and the publicity has cost more than 100 million, and there is no need to compare.
It's the mid-production ”Ace Announcer” released by DreamWorks in the same period.
Because of Will-Farrell and Christina-Alberget’s repeated speculation on the crew scandal, and both of them are actors who debuted in TV dramas, the passers-by are not bad, and they received 3.26 million US dollars on the first day, which was slightly over ”Hellboy” one.
By the second day, the attendance rates of both films increased, but the number of screenings remained the same.
”Ace Announcer” increased to 3.67 million, while ”Hellboy” rose to 3.43 million.
On the third day, the box office of ”Ace Announcer” dropped somewhat, and ”Hellboy” was still up, with 3.79 million to 3.56 million, surpassing in one fell swoop.
Until this time, Lionsgate’s targeted announcements and accurate target positioning began to gradually take effect.
As the audience after watching ”Hellboy” increased, word-of-mouth effects spread rapidly.
Of course, in the eyes of professional film critics, this film is full of violence, blood, and evil taste, and it is a piece of rubbish pieced together from an extremely boring plot.
What ** summoned a monster, and the monster was subdued by the U.S. military—without logic;
What other monsters were influenced by Dr. Stupid, helping the US military, suppressing terrorist actions around the world, fighting a group one by one-too invincible, no brains.
Well, think about it from another angle. If the protagonist is not a monster from hell, but a person with set superpowers like Marvel and DC, maybe this is a super-English movie with popcorn.
But the spray is still to be sprayed. For this, Lionsgate is prepared.
Cult film? It's a strange thing if it is not sprayed.
It's a pity that the sound of these bad movies cannot stop its box office from rising.
On the contrary, part of the audience said good things for the movie, saying that it was very exciting and exciting. The flesh and blood were flying all over the sky, and the bloody level of the battle was directly filled. What kind of headshots, wearing the chest, throwing it out and throwing it into meat... As long as it is an enemy, encountering the protagonist is a variety of ways to die.
Less than a week after it was released, the reputation of ”Hellboy” broke directly, and it was very polarized.
