On the morning of Saturday, December 25th, many movie theaters welcomed a large number of audiences as soon as they opened, most of whom were basically targeting "Tomb Raider".

This adventure film with a female protagonist as the theme has obviously been welcomed by many audiences.

"It's unimaginable, Angelina Jolie in the film is so beautiful, it's so **** that I can't breathe."

"Obviously she's playing Lara Croft in her own right, and it's been a feast for the eyes of a lot of people."

"The film "Tomb Raider" has successfully created a character full of charm, that is Laura Crawford, and Angelina Jolie has dedicated the most perfect performance for this."

As the second day began, many young people who had watched "Tomb Raider" couldn't wait to leave comments.

Most of them think that Angelina Jolie's Laura Crawford is perfect, a real Laura Crawford.

Some gamers even believe that when the game company first designed the Laura-Crawford character, it borrowed the image of Angelina-Jolie, otherwise she would not be able to fully restore Laura-Crawford.

As for the evaluation of the media and film critics, it is much worse.

While many media outlets believe that Angelina Jolie is perfect for the role of Lara Croft, even she couldn't save the movie from pointless plot and action.

Roger Ebert gave the film three stars and commented: "Angelina Jolie does a great job in this film, but other than that, it's a terribly stupid film that looks baffling."

According to the reviews of 31 film critics, the media only gave a B grade rating.

Even some film critics directly gave zero points, and commented bluntly: ""Tomb Raider" is a disaster-level film. Only God knows whether Orion Films can recover up to 75 million U.S. dollars in investment."

However, as the box office of the film came out on the first day, those media and film critics quickly shut their mouths.

On the first day of its release, "Tomb Raider" took a box office of 21.35 million US dollars from North America.

In just one day of release, the North American box office of the film has reached 27.15 million US dollars, an unbelievable number.

"$21.35 million at the box office!"

"how is this possible!"

In a very luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills, Winona Rhett looked at the box office figures on the newspaper, her face was very ugly, "How could that **** get $21.35 million in the box office on the first day? Even Julia Roberts Impossible things!"

Looking at Winona Ryder in front of her, manager Cathy Conrad said with a serious expression, "According to the film's normal box office trend, it is entirely possible that the North American box office of this film will reach around 200 million U.S. dollars, and according to Orion Films The news that came out."

She paused, then continued: "At the time, Angelina-Jolie signed a three-film contract at one time."

"Next, Orion Films will definitely serialize this film."

"So what?" Winona Ryder sneered. "She's just a coquettish bitch."

Cathy Conrad was silent for a while, looked at Winona Rhett and said solemnly: "Forget what happened before, find time to invite Angelina Jolie to come over."

"It will help you a lot."

"Impossible." Winona Rhett roared, "There's no way I'd invite that **** over."

When filming "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", the relationship between the two was not very harmonious, and there were even very sharp conflicts.

"Winona!"

Cathy Conrad's expression turned cold and she said, "Your next priority is to find a way to get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and gain media attention. And right now Angelina Jolie is the hottest topic in Hollywood. One of the focal points."

"It can get you a lot of media attention and even increase your odds of being nominated for an Oscar."

To put it bluntly, it's just rubbing heat.

With a sound of touch, Winona Rhett threw out the pillow in her hand, almost gritted her teeth and said, "I need to think about it."

For her, the Oscar is not only about the attention of the media, but also related to her future career development.

The box office of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" was not satisfactory. As the protagonist of the film, Winona Ryder was greatly affected.

Even, for a long time, you can only leave the mainstream Hollywood crew.

The only way to save it now is Oscar.

In fact, she's already been nominated for two Oscars.

The first time she starred in "The Age of Innocence", she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 66th Academy Awards, and the second time she starred in the drama "Little Women" and won the Best Supporting Actress at the 67th Academy Awards. Actress nomination.

"A film that doesn't know how to describe it."

Having just finished a promotional event, Sofia Coppola couldn't help but feel a little tangled looking at the enthusiastic movie fans.

From an artistic point of view, "Tomb Raider" can be said to be useless, but it has achieved very dazzling commercial results.

"Actually, I like 'The Talented Ripley' better," Sofia Coppola whispered.

"But the audience prefers movies like "Tomb Raider"." Ryan reached out and patted Sofia Coppola on the shoulder, saying: "Commercial popcorn movies will be the mainstream of the North American box office market in the future."

In the North American box office market in the future, various commercial popcorn films will continue to succeed, and the themes will be more youthful. Young audiences alone can support the box office of a film.

Sofia Coppola showed a helpless expression and said, "It's really bad news."

In the following promotional activities, Ryan officially announced the shooting plan of "Tomb Raider 2", and Orion Pictures will create a series of films, not just one film.

For the game player group, it is undoubtedly exciting news, and many game players have chosen to go to the cinema.

However, compared with the first day of release, the number of viewers of the film has not increased, but has decreased slightly.

Generally speaking, for movies released on weekends in Hollywood, the number of viewers on the second day will be higher than that on the first day, and rarely less than the first day.

Fortunately, the decline in the number of viewers of the film was not very large, which was still within Ryan's acceptance range.

On Sunday, the single-day box office earned 20.32 million US dollars at the box office.

The cumulative box office of the film in North America reached 47.47 million US dollars, breaking the first weekend box office record of 42.3 million US dollars created by the film "Scream" with a female protagonist, and breaking the first US$31 million first weekend created by the game adaptation film "Pokémon" box office records.

In contrast, "The Talented Ripley", which was released on the same day, seemed bleak.

It only earned $5.88 million at the box office on the day of its release, and $5.93 million on Sunday. The cumulative box office of the film in North America was only $11.81 million, which is much lower than the original version.

Not as high as the first-day box office of "Tomb Raider".

Harvey Weinstein leaned on the sofa with a gloomy face, "$47.47 million at the box office!"

"Ryan Gosling, far from failing, has succeeded once again."

"Why, he can succeed every time!"

He couldn't figure out why the films produced by Orion Films were so successful one after another.

However, these films do not seem to be very reliable.

"Blade Runner" is an R-rated superhero movie with a black protagonist, "Rush Hour" is a movie with Chinese and black protagonists, "Tomb Raider" is adapted from a game, and the film stars a female character , and "Death Comes", a film based on oriental myths and legends.

However, it is these seemingly unreliable films that fail to succeed one after another.

Sidney Pollack pushed back the frames and said, "At least we haven't failed, Harvey."

"Based on the film's box office trend, the cost can be recovered through the North American box office."

Only two days after its release, it achieved a box office of 11.81 million US dollars. For a film with an investment of only 40 million US dollars, it is also considered a success.

It's just that it's far less dazzling than "Tomb Raider".

Harvey Weinstein nodded with an ugly face, and he could only comfort himself in this way.

"Call Cate Blanchett," Harvey Weinstein said suddenly.

Hearing this, Sidney Pollack frowned, disgusted in his heart, and even wanted to refuse,

It's just that he didn't say the word "refusal", but took out his phone and called Cate Blanchett, asking her to come over.

As for Cate - Blanchett will choose!

Come to think of it, she shouldn't refuse.

After all, there are very few actresses who have no scruples about rejecting Harvey-Weinstein.

Thinking of this the name of Natalie Portman, an actress who dared to confront Harvey Weinstein, came to his mind.

With the arrival of the working day, the box office of "Tomb Raider" has fallen sharply. What is unexpected is that the single-day box office performance is not even comparable to "The Talented Ripley".

"The Talented Ripley" earned $3.5 million on Monday, $3.39 million on Tuesday, $3.02 million on Wednesday, and $3.42 million on Thursday.

The film earned $13.33 million at the box office in four working days.

"Tomb Raider" grossed just $3.05 million on Monday, $3.06 million on Tuesday, $2.56 million on Wednesday and $2.25 million on Thursday.

The film earned $10.92 million at the box office in four working days

Many people who are looking forward to the box office of "Tomb Raider" can't help but feel a little unbelievable, how could it be more than 2 million US dollars lower than "The Talented Ripley" at the box office.
