Chapter 208 Sweeping the World, but Not the Mainland!

After the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in Los Angeles, the next day the main creators of the crew flew across the Atlantic to the UK, where they also held a premiere for Europe.

The European premiere was held in Leicester Square in London. Thousands of fans came to support the event, and many British stars showed up to promote the event.

Keira wore a golden dress with a noble and elegant temperament, and her back was completely naked, sexy and seductive.

Depp appeared in sunglasses and a hat, and his personality was handsome.

Orlando Bloom was handsome and unrestrained.

In addition, well-known British actors and singers, such as Kelly Brook and Natalie Imbruglia, also rushed to show up.

After the European premiere, it was basically announced that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" would be released on a large scale around the world.

On July 6, one day earlier than North America, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" premiered simultaneously in eight countries and regions including Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Korea, Malaysia,

the Philippines, Thailand, and Taiwan Island, China.

Although the box office performance of these eight countries and regions combined is not as high as that of North America, they still earned a total of more than 30 million US dollars in the first day of the premiere box office!

The real highlight is on the second day.

On July 7, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was fully released in the United States and Uruguay.

Uruguay is a small country, there is nothing much to say.

But the US premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was very large.

In the United States alone, the number of screens at the time of release reached 4,133, which is second only to "Shrek the Monsters 2" and "Spider-Man 2" in 2004.

Such a large-scale screening is naturally because North American movie fans have high expectations and enthusiasm for this movie.

On the day of the release, theaters of all sizes in the United States were full, and countless fans from all over the country flocked to the cinema, wanting to buy tickets for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and watch this fantasy blockbuster with their families or lovers.

And the fans' enthusiastic viewing wave naturally brought an extremely high first-day box office result.

On the day of its release in the United States, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" broke the record for the highest box office on the first day of its release, earning $55.5 million in a single day, becoming the highest-grossing movie in the United States!

On the second day of its release, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" achieved another success, earning $55.8 million, breaking the highest single-day box office record again!

On the third day of its release, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" broke the highest box office in its first week of release with a box office of $135.6 million in the first three days of its release.

In North America, new movies are generally released on Fridays, so the so-called first-week box office is mostly just the box office results of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Earning $130 million in three days is a box office result that Hollywood has never had before.

The entire Hollywood is completely crazy.

There are many people who envy, jealous, and pursue it. The bosses of several other major production companies are even more jealous behind the scenes. This good IP was actually taken by Disney.

How could they not have thought that a pirate movie would be so popular?

Is it because of the addition of fantasy elements?

However, the relevant practitioners who went to the cinema to watch this movie for the first time had to admit that this movie was really good.

As a commercial film, this movie is absolutely excellent.

The mysterious "Flying Dutchman" simply subverted all movie fans' imagination of "pirates".

Using computer special effects technology, the image of each crew member on this cursed pirate ship is so magical.

Captain David Jones has an octopus face and crab claw-like hands, and walks on crab legs.

The other crew members are full of marine life style and have lost their human image.

Especially the barnacles on their bodies, which are so realistic that they are like real ones, which makes the movie fans exclaim again and again.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has built a more complete and fantastic pirate world for movie fans around the world.

The huge octopus, the pirates who are a mixture of humans and marine life, and the meticulously crafted pirate ship.

From beginning to end, the film is like the fog on the sea, with a mysterious atmosphere.

The ghost pirates' comings and goings, the puzzling prophecies of the gypsy witch, and the uncertain fate of Captain Jack all make people confused, but they are very interested and want to find out.

The bizarre scenes, lifelike sea monsters, and terrifying bosses are all eye-catching elements in the film.

Some film critics praised the film as soon as they watched it.

"I thought that a two-and-a-half-hour film would inevitably be boring, but Johnny Depp's alternative performance, the director's imaginative lens language and grasp of rhythm, and the adjustment of the young couple Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley made the film very smooth."

"I didn't feel that so much time had passed after watching it!"

Of course, not all of them were praises.

After all, as a commercial film, while increasing the selling points to attract fans, there will be many flaws and defects.

The content is too messy and flashy, relying entirely on the piling up of special effects. What attracts the audience's attention has changed from the plot to the endless stream of computer special effects.

There are also many criticisms that the film is not worthy of its name, is flashy and ostentatious, and the plot is too obscure and complicated.

Compared to the stunning first film, this sequel seems to have made many film critics less satisfied.

However, these critical voices do not affect the global conquest of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

In July, the film will be released in more than 30 countries and regions around the world.

If the time is extended to August, more than a dozen countries will also release the film.

However, the director Wu Yuan's home country, China, has not yet made any arrangements or announcements for the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Domestic netizens and movie fans have always paid close attention to this film. After all, this is a work directed by Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan's popularity in China does not need to be repeated.

However, some well-informed people expressed pessimism on the Internet that the General Administration should ban this film and will not release it in the mainland.

The reason is that the plot of this film is horrible and bloody, involving the undead, skeletons and other content, which is not suitable for teenagers to watch.

Disney failed to pass the first review, and the original August release schedule in the mainland was also given to another Disney animation "Cars".

Giving up the original schedule to other movies shows that Disney has no intention of re-editing and submitting it for review again after failing the first review.

The current mainland film market is really not very important. By 2020, Marvel dared to confront the General Administration and not release it in the mainland, let alone Disney now?

After "Pirates of the Caribbean" won the weekly box office championship in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Taiwan in the first week, Disney did not bother about the release in the mainland at all.

Now Disney only cares about one thing besides the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

That is, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" must start shooting immediately!

One minute later is a disrespect for the profitability of this IP!

Write a thousand more words in the next chapter.
