Chapter 288: Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Is Released, Breaking Records Again

Chapter 288: Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is released, breaking the record again!

The main film of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is two and a half hours long, just like the second one.

But this time, the third part did not make some critics feel boring and long like the second part.

On the contrary, two and a half hours seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. All the viewers were immersed in the story of the movie. There was no boring moment throughout the whole process, and they did not notice the passage of time at all.

One familiar face after another appeared, and one after another fierce and well-paced conflicts occurred, making the whole story full of attraction.

On the original track, the reputation of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was not very bad.

After Wu Yuan adjusted the rhythm and added conflict scenes and fighting scenes, as a commercial action film, this movie will definitely beat the blockbusters of the same period.

As the final work of the trilogy, the story content of the third part reached the end of the confrontation. The duel between the pirates and the East India Trading Company, the duel between Will and Jones, and the relationship between Will and Elizabeth all had a final explanation.

The background of the story world view, such as the resurrection of Barbossa, the organization of the pirate kings of the seven seas, and the appearance of the female sea god, makes people feel like an epic blockbuster.

In the story, the pirates constantly change their positions, instantly form and break alliances at any time. There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, and even no eternal life and death.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the freedom that pirates yearn for.

The newly introduced line of the King of the Seven Seas has expanded the world view of Pirates of the Caribbean at a macro level and added many new elements.

Liu Yifei, who has just joined the third part, can be called the finishing touch of the whole movie. There are three fight scenes in total, namely, she rebelled under the order of Xiaofeng to capture Captain Jack, protect Elizabeth, and participate in the final decisive battle.

In the three fight scenes, Liu Yifei showed the style of the Chinese swordsman very well, bringing a little shock of Chinese Kung Fu to the audience.

If there are no subsequent works and Pirates of the Caribbean is regarded as a trilogy, then "The End of the World" has put a perfect end to this excellent trilogy series.

The expanded world view and the final ending of Jack embarking on the journey to find the black pearl again, leaving a lead to the "fountain of youth", opened up the possibility for the fourth part.

This Pirates of the Caribbean series, with a grand overall plot, is very difficult to operate. Wu Yuan can give such an excellent result, which is really excellent.

Basically, most of the clues of the previous works have been recycled, and the easter eggs have also been recycled, which is very rare and precious.

As the finale of the trilogy, the third part is undoubtedly the best one at present. The high degree of completion of the first three trilogies of Pirates of the Caribbean made the critics who watched the premiere extremely satisfied.

There are really too many Hollywood trilogies with bad endings.

It is very rare to have such an ending that exceeds the standard in various Hollywood series.

The only thing that makes critics a little dissatisfied is that because of the limited space, the so-called seven seas pirate kings, only Xiaofeng has a little presence, and the pirate kings of the other seas are not even introduced, and each has only one or two lines.

This made many film critics exclaim that it was a pity, and also made them look forward to the sequel of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series again.

After expanding the world view of the King of the Seven Seas, there are really too many new things to shoot in this series of stories, and it is not a problem to open up several new series at the same time.

For example, like those superhero movies, each pirate king can be given his own personal movie, and then the whole "big event" in which everyone stars together!

Captain Jack alone is so fascinating.

Imagine if seven pirate kings with different personalities and styles get together to do something, wow, this is really cool!

When the premiere ended, the lights in the screening room hadn't even turned on yet, and the applause was about to blow the roof off.

Whether it was media reporters or professional film critics, they all cheered loudly, and even whistled unnaturally, directly expressing their love for this movie.

Compared with the second part, this third part made them more satisfied.

Perhaps it is because the second part is more about laying the groundwork and serving as a link between the previous and the next, which makes it inevitably a bit boring and obscure.

However, after watching the third part, many film critics understand the difficulty of the second part.

Without the second part as a foundation, there would be no highlight third part.

"Well done, Daniel!"

"A very cool movie, the best commercial blockbuster this year!"

"I love this series, let's continue with the fourth part!"

"What does the fountain of youth mean at the end, Daniel? Is this what you mean by lack of inspiration? Let's shoot the fourth part quickly, don't make trouble!"

Listening to the excited words of the audience in the back row, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei smiled at each other.

It seems that the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was successful again.

The next day, all the entertainment newspapers in the United States were dominated by the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" on the front page.

The photo of Wu Yuan and the leading actors of the crew bowing and thanking at the premiere became the cover poster of major entertainment newspapers.

Below the poster are various short reviews of the movie.

"Without a doubt, this is an epic blockbuster!" - Los Angeles Daily News

"The story is grand, expanding from the Caribbean Pirates to the world pirates, and all the performances are excellent. Whether it is the special effects, the rhythm of the plot, or the various main and side plots, they are all first-class in commercial movies!" - "Hollywood Times"

"The crew put every penny of the film budget into the effects, which was fully revealed in the climax of the film for about an hour." - "Entertainment Weekly"

"This movie looks and feels like a real epic!" - "Hollywood Reporter"

"It is not as amazing as the first one, nor as exciting as the second one, but it is enough to make people's hormones soar for a while. As a Hollywood super A-level blockbuster, whether it is from the setting of the early plot or the later technology, it can be regarded as the most delicious existence in "popcorn movies." - "Variety"

"A very cool movie. As the third part of the series, it is a success to break the vicious circle of "three parts must be bad". Daniel Wu has put a perfect end to this series." ——"Movie Star Weekly"

Compared to the mixed reviews of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" when it was released, the premiere reputation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is so good.

At least 80% of the critics gave good reviews, and the remaining 20% ​​could not be considered bad reviews. They just pointed out some shortcomings, regrets and defects, and finally gave a medium-to-high evaluation.

Although, with the increasing development of the Internet, the influence of film critics does not seem to be as high as in the era of paper media, but they still represent the trend of watching movies.

The confident Disney did make the right bet.

The premiere five days in advance won enough time for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" to ferment good reviews.

As a commercial film, this movie is well-made, as a magical giant visual spectacle, it is imaginative, and as a drama, the ups and downs of the story can mostly be self-consistent.

The only thing that can be criticized is that the love line of this movie is really confusing. The love-hate relationship between Jack, Elizabeth and Will is very confusing.

This is also Wu Yuan's helplessness. He actually thinks that there is no need to have a bloody love triangle in the story of Pirates of the Caribbean.

But this love line was completely planned by the two screenwriters. In their opinion, this kind of American-style cliché love line is an indispensable part of commercial films.

Disney also agrees with this view.

This is a reserved part of Hollywood commercial films.

In "Avengers", Black Widow also has an inexplicable love line with Hawkeye and Dr. Banner.

If you focus on the comic universe of Marvel and DC, the love line will be even more confusing and bloody.

I can only say that the Americans really like this.

As a person who doesn't understand the European and American love concept very well, Wu Yuan can only accept this chaotic love line.

Fortunately, it seems that most of the film critics and media reporters who attended the premiere did not have too much dissatisfaction and doubts about this love line.

They even think that this is what makes Pirates of the Caribbean so attractive.

Pirates are a group of guys who advocate freedom and have chaotic personalities. It is normal for Jack, who is naturally romantic, to have an affair with his friend's wife.

This also proves that the views of Disney and the two screenwriters are indeed correct.

Americans like to watch this kind of "free" love story.

In this way, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" generally received higher praise than the second one among the film critics.

And these good reviews quickly spread among North American movie fans, adding fuel to the fire for North American movie fans who were already looking forward to this movie!

Five days after the premiere, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was officially screened in 4,362 theaters in North America on May 25, 2008.

The number of theaters that opened this movie is more than 200 more than the original "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Although the North American cinema market has long been saturated, it can still add dozens or hundreds of new theaters a year.

Therefore, even though the 158-minute film length greatly limits the number of screenings for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", under the publicity of the high reputation of the premiere, the "pirate" fans in North America still burst out with amazing enthusiasm for watching movies!

In the North American box office battle from Friday to Sunday, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" finally swept $142 million in three days, becoming the weekly box office champion, and broke the box office record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" of $135.6 million in the first weekend.

The extra box office of less than 10 million US dollars is the limit of the contribution of the two hundred theaters that opened the film.

Unfortunately, this result still did not break the latest first weekend box office record of $148 million set by "Spider-Man 3" in May last year.

But this is not a crime of war.

"Spider-Man 3" is half an hour shorter than "Pirates of the Caribbean 3"!

This means that in the same release time, "Spider-Man 3" can have more screenings!

With more screenings, it is reasonable for "Spider-Man 3" to get more box office.

For Disney and the creators of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, the box office performance of $142 million in the first weekend is already a result that makes them extremely satisfied.

The Black Pearl sets sail again, unstoppable and smashes all the small boats that block the way!

Another super commercial blockbuster with the possibility of breaking $1 billion in global box office is about to be released!

Wu Yuan has once again attracted the attention and attention of countless fans and filmmakers around the world.

Two consecutive films have entered the $1 billion box office club, which is an unattainable achievement!

Among the living commercial film directors, Wu Yuan is also enough to rank in the top five in the world.

Countless top Hollywood actors are eager to ask for Wu Yuan's contact information, wanting to make some friends with this super director.

Wu Yuan, a cross-river dragon from China, has become a heavyweight figure that cannot be ignored in Hollywood and even the world film industry!

At this time, Wu Yuan was troubled by the visit of an uninvited guest.

Looking at the Warner executives in front of him with a flattering look, Wu Yuan sighed repeatedly.

"I can't figure out why you want me to shoot "Green Lantern"? "

It's the end of the month, and there are less than 100 monthly tickets left to 2,000 tickets.
