It's a new day and the first weekend of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

At the same time, the film also ushered in the attention of mainstream media in North America.

Undoubtedly, after one night of fermentation, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has become the next topic that cannot be bypassed.

"The box office of the film's midnight session was 10.28 million US dollars, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has been recognized by countless audiences."

"Outside the premiere of the film "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", a large number of protesters gathered. Many readers of the original book thought that the adaptation of the film was exaggerated and did not conform to the plot setting in the original book."

A number of North American media reported from different angles, some criticized wildly, some gave affirmative support, and some simply vacillated.

It can be said to be a mess.

The media cannot speak with one voice.

This is a very normal thing, and only when each has a different stand can the media gain maximum attention from readers.

However, many mainstream media have given "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" high praise, and some media even spoke highly of it, which can be compared with "The Godfather".

On the day of its release on Friday, the IMDB score of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was as high as 98 points, among which more than 980 users who participated in the scoring gave full marks.

This is not an operation by the navy, but a rating made by the midnight audience.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, the professional film critics gave only 67% freshness, compared with the IMDB score above, it seems to be a stark contrast.

However, the popcorn index given by ordinary viewers is also as high as 98%, which is equal to the IMDB score.

The reason why this happens is very simple.

The group of professional film critics is often full of various interests. In contrast, the evaluations given by ordinary audiences are more just.

As for the navy on the Internet!

The IMDB website has long been acquired by Amazon, and the Rotten Tomatoes website accepted Google's $1.5 million in financing before the Nasdaq Internet crisis broke out in March.

Orion Films is one of Google's major shareholders, and Ryan also owns a large number of shares in Amazon and Google.

It can eliminate the network water army to the greatest extent.

What's more, the Internet propaganda department of Orion Films is itself the earliest and largest Internet troll.

It can be said that the scores given by most websites are relatively notarized.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has been recognized by the vast majority of audiences.

From this point, it can be reflected that the audience popularity of this film.

Before nightfall, many movie theaters temporarily increased the number of screening halls, and other films could only be squeezed into one screening hall, and several films were screened in turn.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}As the evening approached, there was a queue for buying tickets outside some downtown movie theaters in Los Angeles and New York.

"Three tickets to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at 8 o'clock..."

"A ticket for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at 8:30..."

"Two tickets to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at 8 o'clock..."

As the tickets were sold out one by one, the conductor wiped the sweat off his brow, looked at the crowd of ticket buyers waiting outside, and the few tickets left, showing a embarrassed look.

Keep going, it won't take long, and the "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" before 9:30 will be sold out immediately.

Many of them called ahead to book tickets.

In desperation, he could only report to the duty manager, hoping to temporarily increase the number of film screening halls again.

Although the theater has temporarily increased from 3 screening halls to 4 screening halls at noon.

If you want to continue to increase the number of auditoriums, you can only ask the head office to send another copy.

The number of projection halls is not to say that it can be increased. Without ready-made copies of films, theaters can only stare blankly.

At almost the same time, the scene just staged was repeated in many North American movie theaters.

"Emperor Cinemas requested that at least 150 copies of the film be added before Sunday, and several theater companies also requested an immediate increase in the number of copies."

Frank Macasso showed a look of disbelief.

You know, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was released in more than 3,600 movie theaters.

It's unprecedented even in Hollywood.

However, less than a day after the film was released, many theater companies have requested to increase the number of copies of the film.

It shows that theater companies need to increase the number of screening halls, otherwise they cannot meet the needs of audiences.

In the previous MGM, it was almost an unimaginable scene.

"Contact FedEx, send all the remaining copies over immediately, and print another 500 copies." Ryan immediately made a decision.

In fact, before the film was released, Orion Films specially developed a batch of copies.

I contacted FedEx this morning and sent out a batch. Counting the batch of copies that will be sent out soon, the number is about 450.

However, I am afraid that in the next one to two days, theater companies will need to increase the number of copies.

This is an inevitable defect encountered in the traditional film shooting method.

For example, the cost of printing copies, shipping costs, storage costs, etc., are too high, and the number of copies cannot be increased in time.

In contrast, digital shooting technology does not have these disadvantages, not only can save a lot of costs for printing copies, transportation, and storage, but also increase the scale of screenings in time.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} However, digital shooting technology also faces limitations. Many movie theaters have not replaced digital projection equipment, and still need to print copies, and the film is not conducive to confidentiality. Leakage through the network and so on.

"I'll contact FedEx right now and ask them to airlift this batch of copies overnight." Frank Macasso didn't talk nonsense, and hurried outside.

At this time, it is impossible to calculate the transportation cost, and even if it is transported by air, it can only meet the demand for copies of movie theaters near Los Angeles tonight.

Movie theaters in other cities in North America will have to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and the afternoon at the slowest.

This is already the fastest speed.

Never doubt the shipping speed of FedEx.

Of course, the premise is that you need to pay a large amount of expensive transportation fees, otherwise you can only wait for the goods to arrive slowly like other express delivery.

With the copies sent out one by one, this evening is destined to be a busy night, even an unforgettable night.

"$10.28 million at the midnight box office!"

Between the eyebrows of Ridley-Scott~www.wuxiaspot.com~, a trace of worry can be clearly seen, "According to the internal statistics of the theater company, from last night to today's evening, a total of 25,690 spectators participated survey for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."

"The positive rating exceeds 96%, and the overall evaluation is A+, and several professional websites also give extremely high ratings, and 95% of the audience think that this is a movie. A classic film that deserves to be watched."

Almost no website or survey company has a score lower than 90%.

There is also a midnight show with a box office of 10.28 million US dollars.

There are indications that, even if the North American box office performance of this film cannot reach the record set by "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", the box office of the two films will not differ too much.

In other words, the North American box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is very likely to reach US$100 million in a short period of time.

"Calm down."

Stephen Spielberg looked down at the data in his hand, and said: "The box office hit at midnight doesn't mean anything. After all, the original film has a large number of readers and fans."

"Next, the three-day box office in the first weekend and the box office in the first week are the key."

Steven Spielberg has seen it very thoroughly. A movie that sells well at the midnight box office does not explain anything.

The next first weekend box office and the first week box office are the key.

Once "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" hit the box office for three days in the first weekend.

Then it's a real disaster.
