1905 movie network exclusive feature This new film, which was released on May 27th, was directed by tim burton, who has always taken a brain-hole route. In this film, he only worked as a producer. The director was replaced by James Bobin, who didn’t have many film works, and the most famous one was with the American TV series flight of the conchords … So, can you rest assured that he made a sequel to Alice?
36% freshness of rotten tomatoes
Even if all the original actors return, they can’t stop the terrible fate of word of mouth. The freshness of rotten tomatoes is 36%, and the Metacritic is as low as 37 points. Variety, Hollywood Report and Guardian all give only 40 points. Foreign media generally believe that special effects can’t save the story. This is a sequel to the dog’s tail with Burton’s name.
In fact, looking at this year’s North American summer file, there is not only such a sequel in Hollywood, but also Divergent 3, Team USA 3, Alice 2,,,, … … These films are also produced by six Hollywood studios respectively. This summer’s summer stalls are full of money, so let Zishijun help you count them:
Disney’s money-circling darts
Disney has always poked the audience with fairy tales, adventures, Marvel Comics and Star Wars home runs. In this summer file, it started to change, followed by the real-life fairy tale Alice in Wonderland 2, and finally the adventure story appeared. Previously, as an adventure sequel, the trump card has always been a series starring Johnny Depp. Depp has been playing a neurotic man since the beginning of this series, and this madness has made the crazy hat in the series all the way.
Alice in Wonderland 2
The global box office of Alice in Wonderland 1, created by Tim Burton, has exceeded one billion dollars, and Disney’s fairy tale adaptation of live-action movies seems to have changed from a sideline to a mainstay. From Alice in Wonderland 1, Disney fairy tale movies, although new bottles of old wine have been put along the way, the dark wind of this fairy tale is still loved by female audiences and young audiences. However, it is precisely because of tim burton’s distinctive personal style that this series is at best a knockoff without him, and word-of-mouth is normal.
In contrast, Finding Nemo 2 brought by Pixar and Disney is worth looking forward to. In 2006, Disney bought Pixar Animation Studio for $7.4 billion. After this acquisition, Pixar founder john lasseter became the leader of Disney. After the acquisition of Pixar, Disney Animation also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film for the first time. Pixar is more like Disney’s warranty, and this sequel is led by Pixar veteran andrew stanton. The story is also a sea adventure that Dolly started to find herself.
Captain America: Civil War
In addition, on the last day of 2009, Disney bought Marvel Comics at a price of $4 billion. Since then, it has owned more than 5,000 Marvel comic character resources such as Spider-Man, Iron Man and X-Men, and in the following years, it has brought dazzling superhero movies, with a global box office as high as $1.5 billion and successfully attracted RMB 1.4 billion after being released in the mainland.
The series released by Disney has increased from 69.345 million yuan to 1.171 billion yuan in five years. This box office growth is due to the success of The Avengers and the movie universe carefully planned by Marvel and Disney. Good stories, big patterns, big scenes, and overwhelming action scenes all made these sequels stable at the box office, and Disney really dug up a gold mine.
According to the financial report released by Disney in 2015, Disney’s total revenue exceeded $50 billion last year, and its share price rose by 30% over the same period. Surprisingly, the revenue of the film business only accounted for $7.3 billion. This reminds me that the career map of this entertainment empire has already spread all over movies, games, toy derivatives, and theme parks, almost the entire industrial chain. And these sequel to the movie’s performances are undoubtedly consolidating the value created by each image.
