Everyone lives in their hearts an eight-year-old boy, and the ticket to bring the boy out.

It is not only a movie, but also a mark of an era, full of people's longing for science fiction. The development of the film industry has already presented this robot war to perfectly on the screen, which is itself a milestone for a movie.

Of course, although it has many shortcomings of poor rhythm control, most of the time movies are changing one classic after another that can only be seen in dreams, as if they are within reach. It is because of such wonderfulness that Optimus Prime and Decepticon fight on the screen that the passionate blood of American heroism can be best burst out here.

So, the film's big sale came naturally.

The first three days of the first weekend, he won $92.1 million from North America, far exceeding Paramount Pictures' expected $75 million.

And what is unexpected is that a large number of movie fans join the ranks of supporting Megatron and Decepticons, and it seems that villains are more popular than decent.

"How to say it? Many movie fans are fanatical to support Megatron."

In Paramount Pictures' office, CEO Brad Gray looked at Spielberg opposite and said, "Many people left messages on Paramount's official website asking for the filming of Megatron independent films."

Spielberg pushed his glasses up, "This is a chain reaction brought by Matthew Horner."

Brad Gray nodded slightly, "We didn't expect that Matthew Horner's personal appeal was so great that it was beyond imagination."

"The first weekend box office is enough to show that," Spielberg said.

"Yes, the box office in the first weekend exceeded the expected $17 million." Brad Gray detailed, "The originally estimated $75 million is already a conclusion drawn by Paramount Pictures in all aspects, and it also takes Matthew Horner's appeal into full consideration, but..."

He couldn't help but shake his head, "We still underestimate Matthew Horner. The extra $17 million, I dare not say that it all comes from Matthew Horner's market call, and most of them are like this."

Spielberg smiled, "Every dollar that DreamWorks pays for Matthew Horner is worth the money."

"Well, it's really worth the money."

Brad Gray couldn't help but think of Tom Cruise, who had worked with Paramount Pictures for a long time. Is the return he received worthwhile after investing so much money in him every year? Although Tom Cruise is a superstar, looking at the past two years, his commercial appeal is significantly worse than Matthew Horner.

Even if it doesn't count the pay, Paramount Pictures pays Tom Cruise every year as much as $10 million in cooperation. If the pay is included, Tom Cruise is simply sucking Paramount Pictures' blood.

It’s okay to suck blood, but what about the rewards he brings to Paramount Pictures?

Thinking of this, Brad Gray asked, "Steven, aren't you consider developing a separate series for Megatron?"

"This..." Spielberg put down the camera, and that was a standard businessman. "There is no plan for this at the moment, but you can consider it."

Then, he discovered a difficult place. The reason why Megatron is so popular is that it is inherently popular support, and on the other hand, it comes from voice actors.

DreamWorks is ready to develop a sequel, and there is no Matthew Horner in the sequel plan. After all, his dubbing reward is too high, but if Matthew Horner is missing, will Megatron come back?

Continuing to use Matthew Horner's words, he felt that Helen Hermann, the greedy woman, dared to ask for a dubbing fee of 20 million US dollars.

This is indeed a difficult problem. I need to study it carefully with Michael Bay.

After chatting for a while, Spielberg said goodbye and left Paramount Pictures. Brad Gray thought about it and called his assistant, "Wonte, I remember that some time ago, Matthew Horner and Larry Ellison's son were preparing to work together to shoot a movie. You go check it out."

The assistant there was obviously more understanding of the situation and said directly, "They bought the subsequent copyright of the series from Universal Pictures and were preparing to invest in production. The director was just finalized at the end of last month."

Brad Gray continued, "Have they negotiated a release?"

"It shouldn't be." The assistant continued, "I haven't heard of this."

Brad Gray ordered, "Okay, go check it out. If they don't sign the issuance agreement, let the people from the distribution department contact them to see if they can get the distribution rights for Matthew Horner's new work."

After breaking the phone, he sat at his desk and thought for a while. Paramount Pictures could not rely solely on Tom Cruise. It was time to find a new star to replace Tom Cruise.

If Tom Cruise had the copyright of the series in his hand, he would have been eliminated.

Matthew Horner may be a better addition than Tom Cruise.

The first week of box office sales will naturally not lack the attention of entertainment media. In addition to the film itself, many media reports have focused on Matthew, believing that his voice-over has brought Megatron a wild and domineering leader temperament, which is more attractive than the quiet and restrained Optimus Prime.

Some media also claimed that the movies starring Matthew Horner were selling well, and the movies dubbed could also sell well, and his market appeal cannot be ignored!

Even in an interview with cinemasore founder Ed Mintz said exaggeratedly: As long as you can invite Matthew Horner to star in, any movie will have a first-week box office guarantee of at least $15 million.

Matthew didn't expect that the box office of the first weekend would be so outstanding. The first week of the box office of more than $90 million is as long as the subsequent trend does not collapse, the North American box office is likely to exceed $300 million, and Michael Bay can also turn around and completely get rid of the bad luck since the new century.

Of course, this also has many benefits for him. It can further prove that his vision of choosing films and projects can also allow more people to follow his footsteps.

However, it is not easy to pass it to Brad Pitt.

After seeing the box office statistics for the first week, Matthew also watched the reputation of the film. The box office and reputation were very good, with a huge box office and a bad professional reputation.

In the statistics of the popular film review website "Rotten Tomatoes", the positive review rate is only 57%, which can be said to be mixed with praise and criticism. The positive reviews are basically like this: "Although credible characters are difficult to appear in it, the visual effects of this movie are surprising and the action scenes are super cool."

Most of the positive reviews of the movie come from visual effects and action scenes; while the criticism comes from the plot and characters. Many well-known film critics have cast rotten tomatoes on it.

In particular, the famous film critic Roger Albert mocked the film with unprecedented mean words.

"Watching was a terrible experience, unbearable, with only three, short and interesting times everywhere, and all these fun was insignificant. If you want to save money, go into the kitchen and play a male vocal song accompanied by hell music, knocking on pots and pans while closing your eyes to imagine a tall but slow-moving movie idiot."

"The plot of the film is confusing, and the dialogue is even more stupid and meaningless. The Brooklyn, British and hip-hop accents of the Autobots and Decepticons seem to come from a distant planet, and their shapes are more like a garbage disposal site, as silent as stones. Although the human characters in the film are more interesting, they are actually worthy of praise."

"The battle scenes in the film are confusing. There is no visual sense when watching the model alone, but when two or three robots are entangled together, a particularly chaotic scene is created. I think it is particularly interesting that robots who stand up as high as four floors will fight with their fists. They are usually taciturn and their heads are pitifully small, just like watching the paint dry and hit the head by a frying pan..."

If there was a movie that was attacked and sarcastic by Roger Albert more than ten or twenty years ago, the box office would definitely not be much better, but the era of being a film critic was over. Even if Roger Albert had a very big influence, few people would care about the critic's comments of the film critics.

If you choose a movie based on the comments of the critics, you will not find a few movies that can make people happy to watch in the year.

All the negative comments were as vulnerable as soap bubbles blown by a child in the duel between Optimus Prime and Megatron, and could easily be exposed. In the following week, the film continued to be aggressive. After earning $50.2 million in the next weekend, the North American box office easily exceeded the $200 million mark.

Anyone can see that $300 million is definitely not the North American box office limit of this film.

At the same time, DreamWorks Film Studio and Paramount Pictures have also officially announced that the second part has been put on the agenda of the two companies.

DreamWorks also had a contact with Helen Hermann, as if he wanted to explore the possibility of Matthew continuing to dubbing Megatron. Helen Hermann offered a dubbing pay of $20 million without hesitation, and DreamWorks immediately retreated.

Matthew didn't care whether DreamWorks would continue to contact each other later.

He came to Warner Studios and began to make final preparations for the shooting that started in mid-July.
