On the 1st.
On the day of the premiere.
The entire world's attention was on it.
Today, a total of three Hollywood movies were going to be screened. They were all big productions, but the one that attracted the most attention was still Commando 2. The global voting statistics had already shown that this was the Hollywood movie that movie fans around the world were looking forward to the most this year.
The presale results.
The pre-screening reviews.
The attention of the movie fans.
All of them were showing signs of exploding.
…
America.
There were already people lining up at the entrance of the theater.
"It's not time yet?"
"I can't wait any longer either."
"I heard that the movie is pretty good."
"Yeah, the media reviews during the pre-screening were pretty good."
"Yeah, the most authoritative movie rating website has already given it a 7.1. For a Hollywood commercial action movie, this score isn't bad at all."
…
Japan.
"Have you bought the tickets yet?"
"I didn't manage to get a ticket for today's screening!"
"I've already reserved one for tomorrow."
"I managed to get one, haha."
"A Japanese celebrity is also starring in it, so I definitely have to watch it."
…
Korea.
"The presale box office earnings have already exploded?"
"Wilson's appeal is really amazing."
"Looks like Commando 2's box office earnings are going to explode."
"Yeah, it might even become the global box office champion this year."
"Yeah, no one in the same batch can compete with it."
…
The UK.
Chinatown.
"Commando 2 has been released first?"
"The time difference is different in different countries, right? Wolf Warrior 2 hasn't even been released yet."
"I just went to the theater. Most of the screenings were for Commando 2."
"Hai, Zhang Ye's new movie is only showing in the China region even though it's supposed to be a global premiere."
"It can't be helped. It's our domestic movies that aren't valued internationally."
…
India.
"Haha, it's already entering the theater."
"They're playing the commercials now. It's starting soon!"
"I'm so looking forward to it."
"The theater is almost full. This is the appeal of Hollywood."
"After today, Zhang Ye will become a joke."
…
In various countries.
All the major cinema chains.
Movie fans from all over the world gradually entered the theaters.
Amidst this enthusiastic atmosphere, Commando 2 was released!
Bang!
Bang!
Dong!
When the movie started, it was a battlefield!
"Firlow!"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Damn it!"
The audience wore 3D glasses and watched the familiar protagonists of Commando 1 appear on the big screen. They could not help but feel excited. This was the advantage of sequels. When the first movie had already gained popularity and reputation, the second and third movies would be easy to make.
Memories.
The protagonists all went into seclusion.
The team regrouped.
The two-hour film was in a typical Hollywood style.
When the first round of large-scale viewing ended, the audience walked out of the cinema one after another.
…
On the Web.
Netizens from all over the world were discussing it.
"I just finished reading!"
"What do you think?"
"Pretty good."
"Yeah, it's really satisfying."
"Wilson's commercial films are getting more and more mature."
"Hahaha, today's tickets are worth it. I recommend everyone to take a look."
"I think it's average. The plot is a little clichéd, so I don't really recommend it."
"Actually, it's not bad. It's just that it's similar to Commando 1, so it's a little less fresh to watch. But the special effects are very good."
"Yeah, the special effects are really good."
"Although it's a little different from what I expected, I can't deny that it's still a good movie. I'm afraid Commando 2 is going to dominate this month's global box office rankings."
Some people applauded, while others felt that it was just average. Everyone had a different understanding of movies, so their opinions were definitely different. Although the reviews were mixed, very few people said that it was a bad movie. For a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, this was more than enough.
…
On the movie ratings website.
Commando 2's ratings also changed.
— 7.1
— 7.0
— 6.9
— 6.8
In the end, it dropped to about 6.5 before it stabilized.
Although the fans' ratings were slightly lower than before, it wasn't by much and was considered a normal phenomenon. Due to the limited number of viewers and the scale of the movie, the word of mouth during the pre-screening would definitely be better than after the official release. However, a 6.5 rating was still above average.
…
The real-time global box office rankings.
With the release of several Hollywood movies, the rankings were constantly being refreshed.
Real-time statistics:
# 1: Commando 2
— Box office: 4.2577 million USD
No. 2: The Life of Jimmy.
— Box office: 2.1844 million USD
Third: Despicable.
— Box office: 1.912 million USD
There were a total of one hundred movies on the global box office rankings, and only the hundredth place was shown on the list. These were all movies that were currently being screened in various countries around the world. Most of them were Hollywood movies, but there were also British, French, and Japanese movies. Two of the top three movies had their world premieres on the first day of the day. The other one was "Life of Jimmy", which had been released last week. Previously, he had always been the global box office champion, but after the debut of "Commando 2," the champion position changed hands.
Of course, that was not the end of the day.
The rankings could change at any time.
…
At Wilson's Company.
At this moment, the film crew were all present and everyone was celebrating.
"We're in first place!"
"The word of mouth is pretty good!"
"We'll definitely be the weekend box office champion!"
"Hahahaha, that's great!"
"Director Wilson, congratulations!"
"You're going to produce another movie that has a box office earnings of over 500 million USD!"
"It's hard to say."
"It's already over 4 million USD at the box office. Today alone, we should be able to earn 20 million or even 30 million USD at the box office in the North American region. Including the worldwide box office earnings, we should be able to earn close to 40 million USD. And this is only the first day of the premiere!"
"Yeah, 500 million USD is definitely not a problem!"
"We can already celebrate in advance!"
"It's a pity that it's only the China market. Hai, otherwise, it could have gone even higher."
"It won't be much higher. China might look like it has a lot of people and a big market, but in reality, it doesn't have much box office earnings. Don't worry about it."
"Oh yes, what about that Chinese movie?"
"Wolf Warrior 2? That's a joke! "
"Haha, do you guys really care about that Chinese movie?"
"It's not that we care about it, but didn't they want to premiere it on the same day as us? Our box office earnings are almost out. I just want to see what that Zhang Ye's expression is like now! "
"He's probably regretting it right now!"
"Our premiere has already earned over 4 million USD at the box office in just two hours. It would be a wonder if he doesn't regret it!"
"Hahahahaha!"
…
The box office earnings kept soaring!
Movie reviews came one after another!
Commando 2 became popular all over the world the moment it was released!
Commando 2's popularity was so great that it overshadowed all the other movies that were released at the same time. It was so great that many people around the world had already forgotten about Wolf Warrior 2!
