The premiere carefully prepared for "Troy" failed. Even though Warner Pictures didn't want to admit this fact, and even wanted to cover up the media newspapers and prevent them from publishing negative news about the movie, they could not do it at all.

After all, you are only allowed to take advantage of the situation and not allow others to take advantage of the situation to pursue it?

Global shows that the drawings are broken.

Sure enough, the newspaper argument the next day completely changed.

The soft articles that boasted about how luxurious the main creators of the work were and how difficult the shooting process was, were all covered by the movie's viewing reviews, and most of them were merciless.

The movie reviews given by Variety Show and Hollywood Reporter were only 52 points, which has completely declared the collapse of the reputation of the movie. Even fantasized about the dream of double-win box office awards such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Ben Hur".

And after the release weekend, audience feedback also received large-scale bad reviews.

Rotten Tomato Network's freshness is only 54%, with a score of 6 points; in addition, ImDB also has more than 7,000 viewers, and the score is temporarily maintained at a very embarrassing number of 6.4.

You should know that this is a big production with an investment of nearly 200 million yuan. Such feedback data is undoubtedly a crushing failure. Even "Van Helsing", which was always blacklisted some time ago, is a little bit more brilliant than "Troy", and is so down and out.

This is definitely the most miserable ending for an epic masterpiece that is eager to achieve a win-win situation.

The San Francisco Tribune commentary also pointed out incisively, "Using the name of epic, it adapted the most famous battles in ancient Greece, but it abandoned the elements of ancient Greek mythology throughout the article, and eventually became a popular, clumsy and naive commercial film, which was still the worst."

In other words, if you planned to make a commercial romance movie from the beginning, you might not have been criticized so badly.

The real sad thing is that "Troy" clearly has a good starting point, is very noble and has a superior self, but it does not perform as well as a mediocre popcorn movie with commercial elements.

......

Brad Pitt has been very upset these two days.

"Troy" has a theater with nearly 4,000 cinemas, which is so strong.

On the market, "Van Helsing" which has been screened for more than a week and many movies that have joined the fun have been squeezed out.

But the reputation of this screening is so worrying.

"Dongdongdongdongdong." A knock on the door sounded.

Brad Pitt sat in the office of Project B Pictures and said, "Please come in."

The one who came in was Johnson Gray, who was also one of the shareholders of Project B Pictures.

He walked in quickly, his expression not very good.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Pete.

"Just just got the news, the box office of "Troy" yesterday was only 16.52 million US dollars." Johnson Gray sat on the sofa with a sad face.

"What? The single-day box office on weekends is only more than 16 million?" Brad Pitt looked at his shareholders and friends in surprise, and once thought he had heard the wrong ear.

Hell.

For a first-line production like "Troy", the box office of less than 20 million per day on weekends is considered a failure. But what does it mean to only earn more than 16 million?

The box office on the first day was still very optimistic, but it started to fall sharply the next day?

It sounds like a fantasy.

What's wrong with this world? Am I not awake yet?

Just when Brad Pitt was infinitely suspicious of his life, Johnson Gray confirmed: "It is indeed this data. I have counted it with theaters several times. There are 3,896 theaters, 5 consecutive shows every day. The number of screenings during this period is almost allocated to "Troy". Moreover, our attendance rate has been low, and the number of viewers is still declining."

As he said that, Gray put several copies of the newspaper he bought on his desk.

Brad Pitt finished watching one by one without giving up, but his face looked even more ugly.

Even Entertainment Weekly also conducted a random sampling survey of the audience of Troy, and the audience's answers to the movie were very unpretentious and highlighted the truth.

What is "big disappointment", "boring"; what is "far below expectations", "I feel like the movie is a mess and I don't know what to say".

More criticisms are the most popular for the starring actor, namely Brad Pitt.

There is nothing we can do about this, who makes you famous the most?

"Compared with the God of War played by Pitt, Hector played by Eric Barner is a bit outstanding as a foil." "The result of the actors participating in this movie is a bad movie, and Pitt is the one who performed the worst."

"I can't see the big scene, experience the thrilling war, or even the heroes. I don't know what the movie wants to show us, to see Helen and Paris's bloody elopement? If so, maybe it's pretty good, at least, these two people are quite matched." "Peter is not suitable to play Achilles at all. From figure to performance, the character portrayal is always bad. There is no similarity, and there is no heroic charm..."

There are many negative comments. Even a small number of brainless fans gave very noble positive feedback on Pitt's characterization, but it could not hide the complaints of more people, or anger and disappointment.

Under the influence of this super high expectation value, the more the finished film's products cannot meet expectations, the more likely they are to be scolded. This is a very normal phenomenon.

For example, bad movies are produced every year, but the ones who are scolded the most are always works by directors or celebrities who have achieved success.

If it is a bad movie, it must be watched first, right?

The high profile of the publicity period is more like a sharp blade that penetrates oneself.

It was originally the most popular film work this summer, and it is no exaggeration to say that many viewers' expectations for "Troy" have already exploded.

With the long-term preparation, topics and scandals emerge one after another. While seducing everyone's curiosity, it not only creates conditions for the film to achieve good results, but also faces the danger of triggering a crisis of trust.

Unfortunately, Troy only did the latter.

Warner originally gave a box office forecast of 95 million in the first week at a media conference.

At that time, many media thought that Warner was too conservative and invested 200 million yuan. Not to mention that it exceeded 100 million yuan in three days and a week, what about it? Getting 100 million yuan is not a high box office, and it is not impossible to even try to impact the box office record.

But who would have thought that it was not that Warner was conservative, but that he didn't have much confidence in himself at all.

The single-day box office of more than 16 million yuan also proves that they are right, and it is likely to be inflated. This performance and the reputation of the collapse have to be questioned whether it can exceed 70 million in the first week.

Like "Van Helsing", "Troy" instantly went from heaven, half of her body fell into hell, and even worse. After all, the investment is not as big as "Troy".
