Chapter 964 The highest-grossing war movie
"I've tried Chris in the shooting range."
Sitting on the stage of Allen DeGeneres' talk show, Matthew looked at Chris Kyle on the other side and said, "My marksmanship, in front of Chris, is simply the level of a primary school student."
Allen DeGeneres said exaggeratedly, "I remember you shot two armed terrorists in Burbank at the time."
Matthew spread his hands, "That's good luck."
With the popularity of "American Sniper", Matthew continued to participate in the promotion of the film and came to Allen DeGeneres' talk show with Chris Kyle and others.
"Chris, Matthew is the actor who is recognized as the best in Hollywood's skill and military literacy." Allen DeGeneres's question turned to Chris Kyle and asked, "You two have had a competition. Where do you think he is better than you?"
"Fighting in close combat." Chris Kyle said directly without hesitation, "If you fight head-on in close combat, I may not be able to hold on for five seconds."
Matthew then responded, "Don't forget that although Chris belongs to the Navy SEALs, he is a sniper."
Chris Kyle was no longer the straightforward soldier, and said at the right time, "That time in the shooting range, it wasn't Matthew's attack in an emergency, I might have been dead."
Allen DeGeneres couldn't get in the conversation for a moment.
Matthew looked at Margot Robbie, who had been silent and said, "Actually, Chris and I were rescued by Miss Robbie."
The video is widely circulated on the oil-dollar bull, so this is naturally not false.
Alan DeGeneres asked Margot Robbie, "Margot, everyone saw it. You smashed Eddie Rouse with a porcelain cup. Can you ask what you thought at that time?"
Margot Robbie's smile was shining with straightness, which made her look very sincere. "I was very nervous at that time, but I didn't think anything about it." She suddenly blinked and said, "If you want to say something, there is actually a little bit."
"Oh?" Allen DeGeneres asked very cooperatively, "What's your thought?"
"I just thought, if something happens, won't my heroine be ruined?" Margot Robbie said half-jokingly.
Allen DeGeneres laughed, "This idea is correct."
Matthew and Chris Kyle laughed too.
"I'll ask two of you." Allen DeGeneres asked at the right time, "Matthew, Chris, how did you thank Margot afterwards?"
Chris Kyle was the first to answer, "It's no exaggeration to thank you for this. I gave Margot a gun made of bullet shells."
"Where are you, Matthew," asked Allen DeGeneres.
Matthew said with a smile, "I'll invite Margot to have a drink."
Allen DeGeneres asked Margot Robbie, “Really?”
"Really." Margot Robbie seemed very honest. "I got drunk and I was so spitting all over the floor when I got home."
"What a special thank you." Allen DeGeneres smiled and looked at Matthew and asked, "Can you evaluate your partner?"
Matthew joked intentionally, "Do you think I dare not say good things about Margot?" He pointed to the little round rice in front of Margot Robbie, "You still put a cup in her."
Allen DeGeneres and Margot Robbie both laughed.
The atmosphere of this show has always been very good, and even the dull Chris Kyle would occasionally make jokes.
The screening of "American Sniper" has remained popular and has always maintained a high attendance rate.
More importantly, the audience reputation of this film has always been very good, and the reputation of the media and film critics is not bad.
Films such as those adapted from real events are more affected by the social environment they are in than completely virtual movies.
As we all know, under different social environments, a movie brings people completely different feelings and situations. For example, if a movie like "Brokeback Mountain" appeared in the 1990s, there was no possibility of entering the Oscars.
There is also the "Black Panther" that Matthew once watched. Such a film has been ranked among the top ten movies of the year without exception in major media in North America. It is incredible to think about it.
When I saw this movie, Matthew couldn't understand it at all. It took me so many years to come to Hollywood to have a personal experience.
Political correctness has a great impact on a film.
Originally, "American Sniper" had sufficient quality assurance, and in today's social environment, it naturally became a good movie in the mouths of North American media and audiences!
Some media even directly stated that this year's best movie of the year is "American Sniper".
The various reputations of "American Sniper" can only be described as explosive.
This video is marked as fresh on Rotten Tomato website, with a favorable review rate of up to 98%, and the average score of critics is 85; Imdb currently has more than 54,800 users who score effectively, with an average score of 84.
In terms of live ratings of the theater audience in inemasore, the audience's overall ratings for this film reached a average of a. It is predicted that the final box office of this film in North America will inevitably exceed 350 million US dollars!
In addition, authoritative media comprehensive evaluation of metariti includes 55 media ratings, and "American Sniper" averaged 81 points.
Whether it is the media, audience, or film critics, most people think that "American Sniper" is a good movie!
The film has a good reputation even surpassed Matthew's expectations.
The reputation of "American Sniper" reminds him of "Black Panther" again. In the face of the surging social wave, 99% of people will choose to follow the trend.
It’s not that there are people or media who go against the current, but they are all ignored by mainstream society.
You can disagree with the views of mainstream society, or you can go against the trend, but you will definitely be completely marginalized by the social wave.
Of course, people like Matthew will not have a simple way to not walk, but to take the most difficult way to walk. That is not called courage, but stupidity.
Today, as a pioneer of the feminist movement and a social activist who protects children, coupled with moderate support for the equal rights movement, he has created his outer shell not only bright and beautiful, but also extremely strong.
If your personality is not good, what kind of star is you still a star?
Matthew didn't expect that by chance, he also created a film that was so politically correct that it was unquestionable.
It is normal for movie fans to like him; it is common for the media to sing praises for him in the past; it is really rare for movie critics to collectively say that he is good.
On Sunday night, when he was on the phone with Dan Fehrman, the head of Warner Bros. North American Distribution Department, the other party kindly reminded him that this video can be a complete Oscar. If it is operated properly, it is not impossible to win awards such as Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.
The producer and copyright holder of this video are both Studio 13. Matthew is very clear that if he applies for an Oscar, he will definitely need to apply.
But Matthew only thought about it for two seconds before giving up the idea of Oscar.
This has nothing to do with paying attention to the Oscars or not, but a consideration of actual benefits. It is only September now, and the Oscar nomination list will be at the end of January next year as soon as possible. At that time, the market potential of "American Sniper" has long been exhausted, and even with the stimulation of the Oscar nomination, there will not be much improvement.
If you want to get one of the four most heaviest awards, you don’t have to think about not throwing millions of dollars. If you take a few more, you can get tens of millions of dollars to get more guarantees.
Can the American Sniper get more money if you throw this money out?
The investment income ratio is not ideal, so Matthew is too lazy to do such useless work anymore.
Besides, Michael Fassbender told him at the premiere that he would continue to win the Oscar for Best Actor with the "Legend of Jobs" produced and distributed by Universal Pictures this year. Matthew can't compete with his friends for many years.
As Sunday passed, "American Sniper" had a stunning first weekend in the North American film market.
After three days of painting, the film received a box office of US$136.9 million from more than 4,000 theaters in North America, setting a new box office record for Hollywood r-rated films in North America.
In Matthew's words, American audiences are really full of patriotism.
The box office results of "American Sniper" can only be described as miracles. Except for the patriotism of American audiences who suddenly contributed to this film, it seems that no other powerful factor can be found.
This achievement also set a series of records.
Breaks the highest box office record in September Friday, Saturday, Sunday and first weekends.
Break the first week box office record of R-rated films.
Break the box office record for the first week of the war movie.
It broke the first weekend box office record of director Clint Eastwood's solo film, and in just three days, it climbed to the second place in all Clint Eastwood's North American box office. It is expected to defeat the $148 million of classic cars in one or two days and rise to the first place.
All these results were obtained by "American Sniper" without a 3D high ticket bonus.
Of course, Matthew knew very well that Chris Kyle himself made a great contribution to this film.
Chris Kyle served in the US Navy Seal for ten years and successfully sniped 255 enemies during his service. Although the US Pentagon only recognizes 166 of them, it is enough to make him the sniper who kills the most enemies in "U.S. history".
This autobiography of "American Sniper" was promoted by Matthew to be the winner of the New York Times bestseller list.
Although Chris Kyle will inevitably arouse all kinds of criticism, the success of "American Sniper" can prove one thing: any subject similar to "national heroes" is often very high.
Also, North American audiences also buy the account of the main theme movie.
A comment on the Internet just reflects the outside world's views on this video.
"Everyone knows that this movie will be a big hit in the box office, but I guess no one expected it to be like this."
