On December 98, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part " was officially released simultaneously in countries and regions around the world.

The film grossed $1 million in North America on its first day, becoming the second film in North American film history and the second film this year to gross over $135 million in a single day.

Although it failed to break the record of "The Avengers", the gap between the two was only over one million US dollars.

However, the film's box office declined significantly afterwards, falling by more than 5271 percent on Saturday, earning only million US dollars in a single day.

Although this box office result is something that other commercial films envy, for a film that grossed over 100 million yuan on the first day, the decline is a bit serious.

But this is actually normal, because the film consumed too much enthusiasm of fans on the first day. The early publicity drove a large number of fans into the cinema, and after the fans' enthusiasm was consumed, the box office would inevitably decline.

The reason why "Avengers" can maintain a relatively stable trend is that its fan attributes are not that serious.

And Gilbert Jr. did a great job in production, making it possible for passers-by without a fan base to understand and watch the excitement.

On Sunday, the box office of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 3986 continued to decline. This time the decline was not significant, earning $1 million in a single day, pushing the North American box office to $9392 million.

It's a big gap from the $2 million created by "The Avengers", but it's still the second highest weekly box office in North American film history.

The film also performed well in overseas markets, grossing $2 million worldwide, bringing the film's global box office to $8841 million.

It can be said that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" achieved this gratifying result with the enthusiastic support of Harry Potter fans around the world.

As the final work in the series, this film can be said to have delivered a fairly perfect answer, and David Yates also did his job brilliantly.

The Daily Telegraph commented: "Perhaps the most successful aspect of this final chapter is that it overcomes the limitations and shortcomings of the text.

Many people think that Rowling's portrayal of the final battle in the novel is not very successful, but David Yates transformed it into a tragic and grand scene, with the students fighting against the Death Eaters who were pouring into the school like a tide.
It is a landmark film that resonates with everyone: everyone has a dark corner in their heart, but the important thing is to be able to overcome it. "

The Hollywood Reporter said: "Under Gilbert Jr.'s supervision, Yates finally completed the finale, using clever techniques to present the huge settings and complex events clearly and logically, and the tension of the story in terms of drama surpasses his previous Harry Potter movies."

Peter, a popular film critic with millions of fans, commented: "The book's description of the final battle is very confusing, while the movie is very organized.

Especially when Voldemort led his Death Eaters, giant spiders and trolls to attack the school, Professor McGonagall and others vowed to defend the school to the death.

And for the first time, the spell of stone pillars was used to summon the stone warriors who had been guarding the castle for hundreds of years. The scene was grand and shocking.

In order to create a magnificent war effect, director David Yates specially built cliffs and courtyards that were not in the original book. "

Sexy Rebecca puts the main focus on Gilbert Jr.: “In addition to being a director, Gilbert Jr. is also an excellent producer.

Over the years, he has produced many outstanding films as a producer, and the Harry Potter series is undoubtedly the most representative work.

Perhaps Gilbert Jr.’s greatest contribution to Disney is not how many hit films he directed, but his outstanding production ability and his keen sense of changes in the film market.”

In addition to praising the performance of the Harry Potter movie, The New York Times also focused on Gilbert Jr.

“This year, almost all of Disney’s live-action movies have Gilbert Jr. in them.

From "The Hobbit" to "The Avengers" directed by Gilbert Jr. himself, to "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Fast and Furious 5", as well as "Lucy" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part ".

The top five films in the North American box office this year are all from Cantaloupe Studios, and Lucy is also in the top ten. I don't understand why Warner Bros. broke up with Gilbert Jr., maybe Kiri Ross didn't see the greatest value of Gilbert Jr.

Robert Iger was undoubtedly shrewd in this regard, and now Disney has Gilbert Jr., the most outstanding filmmaker in the world."

The New York Times article sparked a lively discussion, with many film critics and fans beginning to evaluate and analyze Gilbert's role.

“I think the biggest difference between Gilbert Jr. and other filmmakers is that he dares to try different themes and different fields.

We can list all the original films by Gilbert Jr. Although the box office is not as high as the adapted films, the audiences are all impressed by Gilbert Jr.'s fantastic ideas." A fan commented.

Another fan said: "I think the most attractive thing about Gilbert is his unparalleled handsome appearance and his deep and melancholy temperament.

He really attracts me, and I really want to be his lover for life."

Someone asked, "Why not marry him?"

The fan's answer was very interesting: "It is dangerous to marry him, but it is happy to be his lover."

Indeed, in terms of image, other directors are generally not very good-looking. Only Gilbert Jr. can be regarded as an idol.

You should know that James Cameron originally wanted to cast Leo as the male lead in Titanic, not DiCaprio. It was Gilbert Jr. who declined the role, which gave Leo the opportunity.

Otherwise, it would not be Leonardo DiCaprio but Gilbert Jr. who became popular all over the world.

But now little Gilbert is still popular all over the world, which is not bad.

When talking about the role of Gilbert Jr., we have to mention the stupid things done by Warner and Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures once owned Gilbert Jr. as long as Universal Pictures was willing to pay for Gilbert Jr.'s second feature film.

But because of his youth, Universal Pictures hesitated and wanted to wait and see. Twenty years have passed since then, and little Gilbert has grown to where he is today.

In that environment, Universal Pictures’ choice was not irrational. But sometimes, life just lacks a little courage.

If the senior executives of Universal Pictures had been more resolute, would they have had a long-term meal ticket?

Of course, objective factors cannot be ignored.

At that time, the senior management of Universal Pictures was changing frequently and it was not very stable. It was normal for Gilbert Jr. to be just a potential B-movie director at that time.

But the operation of Warner Bros. is really incomprehensible.

At this time, an insider who wished to remain anonymous broke the news, saying that people on Wall Street had always been eyeing the shares of Cantaloupe Studios.

So they promised Warner benefits and asked Warner to sell its shares in Cantaloupe Studios.

However, because the terms of the previous share exchange stated that Gilbert Jr. had the priority to repurchase shares, most of the shares returned to Gilbert Jr.

Less than 5% of Cantaloupe Studios' shares are held by several Wall Street investment funds. (End of this chapter)
