On Friday, the North American market welcomed several blockbusters, namely the film version of "Downton Abbey" and the Stallone series masterpiece "First Blood 5". These two new films occupied the position of champion and runner-up as soon as they debuted, and the box office sucked gold, but the word of mouth formed a contrast, the former received rave reviews, and the latter hit a new low in the series. Pitt starred in the new film "Star Quest" narrowly lost to Stallone at the box office, ranking third on the first day of Friday, with a box office receipt of $7.16 million.
Although this round of new films has not exploded, it is not difficult to dominate the box office market this week. "Downton Abbey" closed for $13.84 million on the first day of Friday, easily topping the box office. 3079 theaters opened paintings, an average of $4495 per pavilion, the attendance rate is significantly ahead of the blockbusters in the film, open such a dazzling report card, it dominates the recent box office market there is no suspense. Although "Interstellar Exploration" lost to "First Blood 5" by a slight difference, its attendance rate was higher, and the final box office pressure on the opponent should be nine out of ten.
Stallone's new film opened well on its first day, grossing $7.17 million at the box office, ranking second, but the average attendance of $1,982 per hall was slightly lower than that of blockbusters in the same period. "First Blood 5" is one of the most famous masterpieces of Stallone's career, the series is a symbol of the era of kings, but unfortunately the current era is no longer the muscle male aesthetic of the past. Stallone has always loved these kinds of movies, but to be honest, these kinds of movies are more than twenty years old, and the audience's feelings have long been exhausted.
"First Blood 5" grossed $7.17 million at the box office on its first day, ranking second in the rankings, but its reputation hit a new low for the series. Rotten Tomatoes has a 29% freshness rating, and the US media people have a bad review on the one hand, which has a great impact on its box office staying power. Fortunately, the fans supported it 85% of the audience popcorn, but can the fans alone support the whole audience? If a movie relies on the fan box office alone, it is difficult to go far, and the box office prospects of Stallone's new film are worrying.
"First Blood 5" is not a big production, but the cost should not be low, after all, Stallone is a veteran superstar, and his salary is also tens of millions of dollars. When the "Daredevil" series was first filmed, Stallone was paid $15 million, and this kind of film left little of the salary after deducting production fees. Tough guy movies were all the rage in the seventies and eighties, but put in the era that has now been phased out and now it's the era of sci-fi blockbusters, stallone, Schwarzenegger tough guy muscle men movies are in the past.
Stallone last rebooted the series in 2008's First Blood 4, which grossed $42.75 million in North America and grossed $113 million worldwide. The new sequel "First Blood 5" made a box office hit on the first day, but word of mouth hit the street, and the final box office is expected to be difficult to go far. This series has a lot of influence, but the box office in overseas markets is limited, unless it is introduced and released in the mainland and the box office explodes, it is impossible for it to sell well.
"First Blood 5" opened on a large scale in North America, and the box office was even inferior to the TV series adaptation of the movie, and Stallone's era really passed. Rotten Tomatoes 29% freshness, full of blockbusters, equivalent to the domestic Douban 2.9 points, with such a reputation you are still optimistic about its box office stand out? American media and film critics on the one hand to give bad reviews, Stallone's new film reputation is not unjust at all, repeated fried cold rice who will be tired, Stallone is 73 years old, should have retired to enjoy life, he still wants to fight but can't do it.
To be honest, "First Blood 5" is also left with feelings, and it is really not easy for the hero to delay twilight, and finally give fans a wave of memory killing. It is said that Jackie Chan is very hard, but compared to Stallone, he also has to bow to the wind. The 73-year-old Stallone is still not old, and he has been playing action movies, and his professionalism is touching. The reputation of the new film hit a new low in the series, but the box office achieved a hit, and hardcore fans were still very supportive of him. Are you satisfied with this tough guy blockbuster?
