Stills of the movie "Money Monster"
Sony’s "Money Monster" was the only new film opened in more than 3,000 theaters last week, which just happened to hit the Cannes Film Festival, which was in full swing, and it was also shown in advance at the festival to make enough warm-up. Money Monster cost $28 million, and took away $15 million in the first week. Directed by Jodie Foster at the helm, George Clooney and Julia Roberts compete on the same stage. Through the sudden hijacking in the live TV program, the unknown side of the dark financial operation is cut open layer by layer.
At present, the IMDb score is 6.7, the media score is 56, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 55%. The evaluation of Variety is more objective: "As an accusation against the cunning Wall Street. It is actually very weak; As a pure thriller, it only makes people’s heart beat faster once or twice from beginning to end; The central mystery eventually degenerated into mediocrity. But I don’t know why these pieced together movies are actually quite good. " The Guardian believes: "There is no master classic here. Let’s treat it as an amiable popcorn movie." "Hollywood Reporter" pointed out that Jodie Foster was unable to do this directing job: "Foster has no skill or talent in creating tension. Her style is strict and efficient, but she lacks the ability to be naughty and create surprises, so she can’t tell stories in an imaginative way." Although the evaluation is relatively mediocre, it is good that the similar competition of this kind of "adult drama" was weak in May, and at present, it is a bit funny and scary for Universal and Warner.
Another newly-developed film, Darkness, opened in 1755 cinemas last week. This is the second time that the publisher The BH Tilt has tried to release a horror film with a large-scale release. Their last film was. This time, "Darkness" opened a cinema that was carefully selected to cater to the audience who love horror movies. The total investment of the whole film is about $4 million, and the publicity cost is negligible (even the money for advertising is not willing to give up), so that the distributor can win the box office of $5.18 million in the first week, and the distributor has already achieved great success. Last year’s "Green Hell" only earned $3.5 million in the first week of its release, and the final box office was $7.2 million. If the trend of "Dark" is similar to that of "Green Hell", the final box office is expected to exceed $10 million.
The current IMDb score of Darkness is 4.3, the media score is 30, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 28%. The Guardian denounced: "This can’t be called a play at all. It’s just a big fool. The scene has no authenticity and sense of integration at all. It must be for the convenience of shoddy CG ghosts wandering around and bumping into doors and windows." Variety commented: "Maclyn must have thought he was filming, right? Unfortunately, the fusion of these strange psychological dramas and supernatural gimmicks has pulled him away. "
Captain America: Civil War will win the 2016 global box office championship and be released in a small scale.
