After "007: No Time to Die", this weekend released a Hollywood sci-fi action blockbuster "Special Forces: Snake's Eye Origin", although it is not an investment level with "007", but the estimated cost is as high as 88 million US dollars, about 560 million yuan.
However, as of November 6, as early as July, "Special Forces: Snake's Eye Origin", which has been released in many countries, only grossed 37 million yuan at the global box office, and even half of the cost has not been recovered, which is definitely one of the most bloody commercial films this year, and even ranked in the top five of the annual money loss list.
The film not only hit the streets abroad, but also came to the Chinese mainland and not many viewers bought it, and the Chinese ticket warehouse could not save it.
The box office in the 2 days of release is only more than 5 million, less than 6 million, the focus is that the box office growth trend on the second day has shown a significant decline, after this weekend, it is fully foreseeable that the film will become another theatrical round of travel movies.
As the lowest cost of the entire series, word of mouth has also become the worst of the series, only 4.3 points in Douban, which belongs to a big bad film that is neither popular nor popular.
I believe that many viewers have forgotten its two previous works.
The first is "Special Forces: The Rise of cobras", released in 2009, the popular hot popcorn, Douban 7.3, the global box office of 300 million.
The second part is "Special Forces 2: Total Counterattack", released in 2013, the reputation dropped sharply, but because of the leading actor of Dwayne Johnson and the cameo of veteran superstar Bruce Willis, it still produced a good appeal, and the global box office reached 370 million.
Up to 8 years without the following, just when fans thought that the series had ended, this year released the third part of the "Special Forces" universe, originally the old audience was a little surprised to see it but frantically complained and scolded.
The third story tells the story of a lone traveler code-named Snake's Eye who rescues the quasi-successor of the Japanese organization, where he receives favors and becomes a brilliant ninja under the organization's teachings, but after Snake's Eye's past secrets are revealed, a crisis of trust arises with the organization.
The reason why it will hit the street is nothing more than that the plot is sparse, cannot withstand scrutiny, is difficult to convince, and cannot generate empathy and leads to a bad perception.
If the second part is not satisfactory, then this one is unable to look directly, half of the watching wants to leave, obviously can perceive that the screenwriter is not as careful and elaborate as the first two, very casual and perfunctory, purely to fool the audience, quite suspected of money.
Specifically, the protagonist Snake's Eye's character suddenly changed to a fool with a dropped IQ, and his movie, which sells mystery, spends a lot of time introducing his past.
For example, why ming ming good use of various high-tech gangs when fighting, they can only use primitive cold weapons to cut each other, and the sun stone with supreme power is placed in an unguarded room.
For example, even if it is the first two action scenes of the cool audience, in this one it is actually a big loss of standard, crazy shaking editing and handheld shots can not see what they are playing, the cool feeling is not, the sense of vertigo and discomfort is full.
To say that the core audience of this movie is Japanese, but the Japanese people should feel the same way they watch this movie as if we watched "Mulan", right?
Anyway, word of mouth box office double punch street can only say that it should be deserved, let the series end here, don't come out like this to make money, even if you are a Hollywood blockbuster.
