There is no doubt that the shock and turbulence caused by "Inception" around the world is so far-reaching, which is reminiscent of the scene when "Avatar" was born six months ago, no, strictly speaking, than "Avatar". The upsurge caused by "Avatar" is even more powerful, because the impact of "Avatar" is more visual, and the huge three-dimensional effect is breathtaking; but "Inception" is more of a brainstorm, that one. The tsunami that swept through everyone's mind was so shocking.

In fact, before the release of "Inception", many people in the industry were not optimistic about the movie. Of course, it is not that the movie is not good enough, but because it is too brain-burning. Some people are not accustomed to the weather, and the summer season has always preferred simple and rude popcorn movies, which can completely relax the brain, such as "Transformers"; of course, if the popcorn can tell a story at the same time, it is the icing on the cake. Well, like last year's "Iron Man".

And "Inception" is too brain-intensive. Many viewers don't understand it after watching it for the first time. Strictly speaking, if a movie can't make the audience understand what the story is about, it is considered a failure. Of course, supporters of high-IQ movies can always be found everywhere, because this is the essence of the movie, similar to "Transformers 2" that relies on countless explosions to detonate the box office, but after watching it, I don't have any impressions. It seems too vulgar. Therefore, it can only be said that radishes and vegetables have their own preferences, and "Pirates of Dreams" does not seem to be a summer dish.

Now, the almost tsunami-like response detonated after the release of "Inception" is beyond the expectations of all professionals. What is even more exaggerated is that the comments of professional film critics are no longer the focus of attention. The audience's analysis and Discussions have become the most important way for "Inception" to spread word of mouth. This way of dissemination is stronger than Cult movies, and the "Inception" fire has burned all over the world almost overnight.

"Inception" has achieved an unprecedented 100% favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This achievement has even become the material for news reports, which even surpassed the 99% favorable rate of "Toy Story 3". It's a bit incredible. Of course, this data is bound to decline as the number of voters increases, but the current achievements are still eye-catching.

Relatively speaking, the comprehensive score of the media is "only" only 90 points, which is no match for the 92 points of "Toy Story 3", but "Inception" has become the second best work in word of mouth so far this year. It is also the only two or two works with a comprehensive score of 90 by the media. Even the Radio Film Critics Association scored a sky-high score of 95. You must know that the Radio Film Critics Association, as one of the three major indicators of the Oscars, is well-known for its rigor, and if it can get 85 points, it is an excellent work. And "Pirates of Dreams" is obviously much higher than the praise of "excellent work".

"The sparks of wisdom and suspense are competing, and the innovative images make people stunned. The summer box office bomb of the movie, the first-class sci-fi thriller, and the classic epic masterpiece!", "Extremely novel perspectives are injecting indescribable intelligence into the story. At the same time as originality, it also subverts the audience's thinking", "Ignore the physics of the screen and present it, appealing to intuition and instinct, the action scenes are integrated with the flesh and blood emotional performance, bringing a unique world view", "Dream and reality" It is not easy for the audience to understand the blurred boundaries of the film, but the dazzling video effects make everything difficult to watch.", "The starring Evan Bell's acting skills have been superb, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mary Ang Cotillard, Ellen Page, Leonardo DiCaprio and others are all wonderful”…

The overwhelming compliments are overwhelming, and the admiration for the collaboration of the two directors has reached a frenzy. "With unprecedented success, the cooperation between Bell and Nolan surpassed the classics of the Coen brothers and surpassed Jero. The 'West Side Story' dedicated by I-Robbins and Robert Wise has contributed to us another great work in the history of film", "The cooperation between Nolan and Bell is so wonderful, the most perfect combination of business and art ", "The cooperation between the two most representative directors of the new generation has produced the greatest masterpiece since the 21st century", "From the story structure to the plot content, to the emotional development, and finally to the connotation mining, Bell and Noble Lan's collaboration has brought a new interpretation of the artistic method of film, and has reached a new peak!"  …

In this long list of accolades, the Chicago Sun-Times, Empire, The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, Time, Variety, The Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, More than 30 authoritative organizations such as "Sight and Sound" and "Cinema Manual" have given full marks. Even "Premier" magazine, which has always been against Evan Bell, gave an unprecedented 90 points, which is also the The highest evaluation of Evan Bell's work in the history of the magazine!

On IMDB, the real-time score of "Inception" reached 9.4 points. Following the "Dark Knight" in 2008, it once again broke the joint blockade of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Godfather", occupying the topped the audience rating. Although this is only an instant score, as the number of audience votes increases, the score is bound to drop. For example, after 960,000 netizens participated in the vote, the score of "Dark Knight" dropped to 8.9 points. It ranked sixth on the list; but "Inception" has become the second work that can rank first in the instant rating, which is still very rare. You can clearly see the audience's respect for this work, and the score has surpassed that of "Shawshank's". The 9.2 of "Redemption" is as much as 0.2, which is all the more valuable when the gap between the top 50 is within 0.2.

Under the impact of such word-of-mouth, although it is only July, "Inception" has long been recognized as the best film, best director, best actor, best supporting actress, best supporting actor, It has excellent competitiveness in major awards such as the best original screenplay and a number of technical awards, even far exceeding the power of "Avatar" last year, because the advantage of "Avatar" lies in technology, and the group portrait of "Inception" is superior. Acting skills and deep emotional excavation make this work promising to launch an all-round offensive.

Prior to this, professionals expected the premiere box office of "Inception" to be generally between 40 million and 45 million US dollars, far behind the same type of works from Evan Bell. The main reason for the 78 million premiere data of "Mechanical Enemy" is mainly because "Inception" has been promoted under the name "Dreamland" in the early stage, and the plot is too esoteric to be generally accepted by the audience. And without Batman's comic book heroes to **** a movie to set off the box-office miracle that "The Dark Knight" created in 2008, it is a very difficult thing.

But Evan Bell's potential can never be predicted, and the torrent of praise after the release of "Inception" is not inferior to the spectacular scenes created by "The Dark Knight" in 2008, so "Inception" is in The results of this year's summer program are still very interesting. Whether it is a burst of popularity or a slump, it is a faint expectation.

On July 9, "Inception" was the first to debut in 2,300 theaters at midnight, and this statistic also set a new record for the number of midnight premieres. In the end, "Inception" won $30 million at the midnight premiere, breaking the midnight premiere box office record set just a week ago by "Twilight: Eclipse". Such a strong performance is obviously a direct result. Destroyed all the box office predictions of the experts. Just the box office data of the midnight premiere is enough to approach the results predicted by the experts. It can be seen that the entire North American market is in pursuit of "Inception".

This achievement not only set a new record, but far exceeded the box office record of "The Dark Knight"'s $19 million midnight premiere. It also seems to indicate that "Inception" is very promising towards "Avatar", Box-office giants like "The Dark Knight" made a big impact.

Afterwards, the movie was simultaneously released in 3,800 theaters in North America. From the number of the premiere theaters, it can be seen that the confidence within Warner Bros. is not so full, and it did not reach the level of 4,000 theaters, but even if In this way, "Inception" still amazed the entire North American market with a box office of $63 million in a single day on Friday.

The box office data of 60 million in a single day on Friday is actually not the top. There is still a gap between the data of 67 million in the single-day premiere of "The Dark Knight" on Friday, and the "Lunar Eclipse" that created a good result last week. The premiere single day of 72 million is even farther away, but this set of data still ranks fourth in the premiere Sunday all-time list, behind only "New Moon", "The Dark Knight" and "Eclipse" ”, which shows that this achievement is outstanding.

Of course, this data is also likely to be the flock of the most loyal fans~www.wuxiaspot.com~, which caused the box office explosion of the premiere Friday, especially the box office data of the midnight show, which accounted for half of the box office of a single day on Friday. The fan effect can be seen from this, so the next step is to see the box office trend on Saturday and Sunday to grasp the box office context of "Inception".

But an astonishing trajectory began to appear. The Saturday box office data of "Inception" actually reached 60 million. Compared with Friday, the decline was actually controlled below 5%, which was almost the same as Friday's box office data. This is an astonishing statistic. Just from the single-day drop on Saturday, “Inception” is undoubtedly a new high, far exceeding the original results of “The Dark Knight”, not to mention “New Moon”. ”, “Lunar Eclipse” and so on the next day the box office fell by more than 50% of the fan films.

It can be seen that the audience of "Inception" is not just fans, there are countless audiences who are willing to go to the theater for an excellent movie!

After entering Sunday, the power of "Pirates of Dreams" is still unabated. The income of 56 million US dollars has only dropped by less than 10%, which can be regarded as a performance of monsters. Not only did the decline completely explode all the movies, but Sunday's single-day performance far exceeded that of "The Dark Knight", which currently maintains the Sunday box office champion in film history.

It can be said that from the first day of its premiere, "Inception" has been winning by word of mouth in an all-round way, creating one after another astonishing historical record!
