Chapter 736 It has to be you
"The market share price in March this year increased by 37.5% compared with the same period last year. The reason is that Gilbert Jr.'s new movie was released last weekend."
Little Gilbert rested his head on Scarlett's plump thigh, observing the manicure on Scarlett's left hand.
Scarlett read news reports to little Gilbert and enjoyed this rare moment of peace.
"Since the beginning of the financial crisis, the entire film market has shown a booming trend. Taking advantage of this east wind, it is not surprising that "Knives Out" achieved a first-week box office that was no less than that of the summer season.
When the tide subsides, the box office will decline very quickly. ”
After Scarlett read this, she lowered her head and asked little Gilbert: "Dear, is this correct?"
Little Gilbert played with Scarlett's left hand and replied: "There is a certain truth, but the main reason is because of the box office appeal of Tom and I."
"That's true," Sijia nodded: "I see that many movie fans on the Internet are here because of your name.
However, the movie "Knives Out" has a good reputation on the Internet, so I'll read you a few random quotes! .
Look at this, the reviews are very good.
In my opinion, the best suspense film in the past five years is not because of its light reasoning, but because of its powerful execution.
The non-technical story is delivered vividly, and the simple and powerful audio-visual captures people firmly, especially the montage where the suspicion is cleared out is very beautiful.
The concept is humorous and accurate, entertaining and humane enough. It can be said to have set a new model for commercial films. ”
Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows: "That's a pretty high rating."
"And this," Scarlett held up the tablet and pointed at the comment to little Gilbert.
"Watching it in the cinema, those who don’t like mystery dramas may find the plot to be bland and have too many dialogues.
But for fans of mystery novels, it really can be considered a Renaissance. The setting of the castle manor has a very Agatha Christie feel to it, and the dialogue is so informative that I dare not go to the toilet throughout the whole process.
The only drawback is that Mark Wahlberg is there and guesses the murderer in advance.
But the overall degree of completion is very high, and some of the small details of jokes and jokes are also very pleasing. ”
After listening to it, little Gilbert said: "Hahaha, if Mark knew this comment, he would probably be very happy."
Scarlett said: "But I saw many people commenting that Marta was the murderer, and they also thought that Harlan Sloan committed suicide.
Everyone had opinions, and the quarrel was fierce. ”
Little Gilbert sat up, put his hands around Scarlett's waist, and let her lean into his arms.
"It's normal that this kind of debate can actually stimulate the box office. In order to find evidence, these movie fans will go to the cinema repeatedly."
In fact, this is indeed the case, because no one can convince anyone. In order to prove their point of view, many movie fans went back to the cinema and watched the movie repeatedly.
This drove the box office of "Knives Out" to continue to rise. The next week, the film earned $26.9 million in box office from four studios.
In the three days of the following weekend, the film grossed US$32.06 million at the box office, and the North American box office exceeded US$100 million in one fell swoop, reaching US$125.04 million.
Compared with the film's investment of US$40 million, this box office can be described as a bumper harvest.
Of course, with such a high box office, the happiest person is not Disney, but Tom Cruise. Although his salary was reduced, he still got a share of the box office.
The higher the box office, the higher the share will naturally be, so it is not a loss to reduce the salary.
At the same time, the film also began to be released in some overseas markets. However, despite the appeal of Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise, the audience for suspense films is still small.
In its first week overseas, it was released in 29 markets and only earned US$70.93 million at the box office. The mediocre results also brought the global box office of "Knives Out" to US$195.97 million.
However, the film received widespread acclaim overseas, and in Agatha Christie's hometown of Britain, "Knives Out" was a huge hit. The Guardian commented: "No matter how you look at it, "Knives Out" is full of the characteristics of the golden age detective story,
In particular, it has many core elements in Agatha Christie's detective novels:
High life in the mansion of a wealthy country family, the father as creator and keeper of wealth, a group of parasitic children each with their own problems, servants and nurses living in the mansion, and murder.
Moreover, the story told by the director is also a mystery-solving process in the classic detective genre. All these designs make it full of the ritual and drama of classic detective novels.
But at the same time, we discover that the director’s ambitions don’t stop there.
In this seemingly classical or even clichéd story, the director quietly integrates a very current issue into it, making this seemingly purely entertainment movie full of politics. ”
The island country is also a very popular market for mystery novels and film works, and many famous mystery novelists and movies have been born.
And the popular anime "Detective Conan" is famous all over the world.
Tetsuya Nakajima, a famous film director from the island country who is also good at suspense films, commented on "Knives Out".
"The film pays tribute to the suspense writer Agatha Christie. The script directed by Gilbert Jr. is humorous and fast-paced.
The funny moments and rhythm presented by each actor are very precise and never let up for a moment, which makes this 2-hour movie enjoyable for the audience.

Some of the film's laughs are some of the funniest parts of trying to figure out this sophisticated murder mystery.
It remains to be seen whether today's audiences are still willing to go to the cinema to watch an Agatha Christie-style suspense film.
But "Knives Out" is still a humorous and novel detective film.
The film kept some viewers curious and laughing all the way until the very last second. ”
The UK and island countries are also the two markets with the highest box office in this overseas market tour of "Knives Out".
The box office contribution from other markets is very limited. If it is not a movie starring Little Gilbert and Tom Cruise, it is estimated that the box office will be even lower.
Back to little Gilbert and Scarlett, the two chatted until they reached the bed. Scarlett squeezed little Gilbert hard, but in the end she was so tired that she was panting.
Afterwards she lay on little Gilbert's chest, breathing heavily.
"By the way, Jessica Alba is so beautiful, so you have no idea?"
"No."
"Really or not?" Sijia didn't believe it: "You can let go of everything that comes to your mouth?"
Little Gilbert patted Scarlett's small butt hard and complained speechlessly: "Am I the kind of person who is impatient? When I see a beautiful woman, I want to coax her."
"Well..." Scarlett protracted her tone and finally affirmed: "You are that kind of person."
"Okay, it looks like you're not full yet."
Little Gilbert got on his horse, and Scarlett repeatedly begged for mercy: "Help, help, you are not that kind of person, I don't dare anymore, hahahaha..."
After some rough and tumble, little Gilbert became concerned about Scarlett's work situation.
"You have performed very well in "Captain America" and "Iron Man 2" recently. After the film is broadcast, I think you will gain a lot of popularity."
Scarlett still has some of the artistic girl temperament that she had when she followed Sofia Coppola. She said longingly: "I also want to win the Oscar for Best Actress."
"Don't worry," little Gilbert said: "I can't let you be stereotyped by Black Widow. I will find a movie that suits you."
