Also because they are rooted in the field of commercial films, these popular film critics are trusted by the audience.

Many experienced netizens usually check out the reviews of the film critics they follow before deciding whether to buy tickets.

Of course, film critics also need to make money.

Film companies usually do public relations for these popular film critics, giving them red envelopes and advertising fees, etc., to get them to cheer for their films.

Popular film critics need to think carefully. If it is a good movie, it is fine. But if they recommend a bad movie to the audience, they will lose their credibility.

The good thing about the Internet world is that there are always people waiting to replace you. The audience is fickle, and once they don't like you, they will turn around and look for someone else.

There are only a few popular film critics with millions of fans on the Internet. Peter is one of them, and there is another one called Sexy Rebecca.

Sexy Rebecca not only has an angelic face, but also a good figure. She looks more like Naomi Watts when she was young.

It can be said that Sexy Rebecca first attracted fans with her beauty. But if she only relied on her beauty and no one hyped her up, she would be considered an Internet celebrity at best in the wild era of the Internet.

Sexy Rebecca is not like that. She is beautiful and talented, has professional insights into movies, and is humorous. More importantly, she is a die-hard fan of Gilbert Jr.

What is the largest fan base in the world? Without a doubt, it is the fans of Gilbert Jr.

It can be said that as long as you please this group of fans, you will have no worries about having a meal. And hardcore fans like Sexy Rebecca, who have a large number of fans, are even more popular.

Not only Peter attended the premiere of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", but the sexy Rebecca also went.

She also asked for Gilbert's autograph and took a photo with him, and then couldn't wait to share it on her social media account and fan group, and heard a lot of wows.

Sexy Rebecca also gave her own review: "The movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is inextricably linked to "The Lord of the Rings", which makes the majority of Lord of the Rings fans very excited.

Seeing the original cast of "The Lord of the Rings" reunite and return to Middle-earth after many years is undoubtedly the biggest motivation for Lord of the Rings fans to go to the cinema.

Judging from the finished product, this 166-minute epic film is definitely a journey back to the old days for fans of The Lord of the Rings. The Dwarves, Elves and Middle-earth are still as magnificent as ever.”

Of course, Sexy Rebecca didn’t forget to complain about Peter Jackson at the end: “Director Peter has the ability, but he is not as good as little Gilbert.

If this movie was directed by Gilbert Jr. himself, it would probably be a masterpiece no less than The Lord of the Rings trilogy. "

Many media outlets have also criticized the film, saying it is not as good as the Lord of the Rings series, but considering that the director is Peter Jackson, this seems understandable.

The New York Post also said: "Even if Gilbert Jr. were to take over, I'm afraid the Hobbit series would not be able to surpass the Lord of the Rings series.

So handing it over to Peter Jackson is a wise choice, which not only allows us to find a reliable director, but also allows us to maintain our own brand and not tarnish our reputation."

What the New York Post said was absolutely correct. It guessed almost exactly what little Gilbert was thinking.

This is also the reason why he rarely makes sequels, except that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was completed in one go and the "Batman" trilogy was of too high quality.

The rest is to start first and then hand it over to other directors, and then turn yourself into a producer and supervise the quality of the film, as is the case with The Matrix series and Pirates of the Caribbean series.

According to the formula of Hollywood sequels, few series of movies can get better and better. They usually show an arithmetic progression decline, especially trilogies.

The Dark Knight was an accident, and such movies are almost impossible to come by.

The media reviews were mixed, but for the long-awaited Lord of the Rings fans, it was their wish to see the movie as soon as possible despite the dangers of the night. On the night after the premiere, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opened its midnight show in 3000 theaters across the United States.

The film grossed $1553 million during the midnight screening, with an average single-theater box office of over $5000 and an attendance rate of around %.

What is more important is the audience's reputation. 92% of the audience gave it positive reviews and thought the film was worth watching.

However, most of the people who can watch the midnight show are loyal fans of the series, so it is not surprising that it has such a high reputation among the audience.

On the first day, Friday, the film opened in 4045 theaters in North America. At the same time, overseas countries and regions started their release journey simultaneously with North America.

"The Lord of the Rings" fans all over the world have been eagerly waiting for many years, and finally the movie has come out. You can imagine how excited they are.

The film made $4035 million on its first day in North America, a huge success. It made $3027 million on the second and third days and $2180 million, bringing its total box office in North America to $9242 million in its first week.

The film's North American box office did not eventually break 100 million, which was also related to the film itself. For ordinary movie fans who are not fans of the series, this is just an epic fantasy movie with good visual effects.

In addition, in terms of special effects scenes, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" did not make any innovations or novel images.

Whether it is Gollum or Rivendell, they are all things that appeared in The Lord of the Rings directed by Gilbert Jr. Maybe the scene of letting the rabbit drive a car is a bit surprising, but it is far from enough.

In fact, this accusation is a bit unfair to Peter Jackson. After all, he is not starting a new project, and the story of "The Hobbit" still takes place in Middle-earth.

Although many new locations have been added, the art style of the two series of films must remain consistent.

However, Peter Jackson did not make any major changes to the plot, and the adaptation was completely different from the original. Perhaps Gilbert Jr. should be blamed for this, after all, he is the producer and has the right to decide the direction of the film's story.

But Peter Jackson didn't dare let little Gilbert take the blame, he still wanted to get on with it.

Even so, the first week box office was already surprising enough for the movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey".

However, the bigger surprise came from overseas.

As the birthplace of the story of "The Lord of the Rings", British movie fans love this movie very much. The film grossed 2257 million US dollars in the first week in the UK.

Traditional European strongholds of France and Germany took in $1374 million and $1552 million respectively, while dozens of other small European markets took in a total of $5683 million.

There are also countless fans of "The Lord of the Rings" in the Latin American and South American markets. The film earned a total of 3226 million US dollars in the first week box office in ten markets in South America, which is a very good result.

The remaining markets of Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and China totaled 7029 million US dollars, mainly China, Japan and South Korea contributed more than 4000 million US dollars in box office.

Especially in China, Chinese audiences will never forget that The Lord of the Rings was filmed in China. The Hobbit was also filmed in China.

For many movie fans, "The Lord of the Rings" series is a very sentimental movie. The sequel "The Hobbit" is of course more popular and has also achieved good box office results.

So after its first week overseas, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" grossed $1 million overseas, making it a huge success.

Including the North American box office, the film's global box office has reached 2 million US dollars, winning the North American weekly box office and the global weekly box office championship.

Such an outstanding box office performance is a good start for this year's summer season for Cantaloupe Studio. (End of this chapter)
