In addition, the theater score has also reached "B+", and it can be clearly felt that the audience's attitude towards this movie is more supportive than against.

Everyone knows that this score is not normal. For a commercial popcorn movie, such a performance is indeed a bit monstrous, especially when compared with the direct feedback from the audience after the premiere ceremony, this score is even more abnormal . But from this aspect, it can be seen that the Environmental Protection Association's support for this film-obviously, their positive recognition is the biggest contributor to "The Day After Tomorrow" leading the way on the first day of its premiere.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!" James Bundy, a netizen from Rotten Tomatoes, immediately expressed his opinion, "Visual special effects are definitely the most perfect since 'Titanic'! It's hard to imagine those How did the whimsy come out! Recommended, must be highly recommended!"

When the end of the world comes, everyone is so alone, like an island trapped in the middle of the ocean, alone, we need a spark, a It comes from the kindling of family, friendship and love; we need to believe that in a corner of the vast ocean, someone will take us home." This review was written by a netizen named Lonely Mermaid, full of humanistic care "'The day after tomorrow' is undoubtedly excellent in the brewing of emotions and the control of the scene. The viewing process is not only ups and downs, but also exciting, as if you are in the environment of the end of the world, and you can't help entering that emotion. Such a way to start this summer is definitely the best choice."

Although some netizens also expressed disdain, "boring, except for computer special effects or computer special effects, there is almost no story to tell, it's too boring." This netizen named Movie Live directly expressed his dissatisfaction, but overall, netizens People's opinions are still based on support. In addition to the shouts of those environmental protectionists, the voice of praise for the visual effects has an absolute advantage.

Although "The Day After Tomorrow" is only his second work, his influence on the Internet cannot be underestimated.

"Lance's control of the rhythm of the movie is simply superb, and his creation of the atmosphere of the movie is even more amazing! "City of God" is like this, and "The Day After Tomorrow" is also like this!" This netizen named Martian Man expressed without hesitation He expressed his praise, "No one should miss this work, it is definitely a value-for-money popcorn movie in summer, walk into the movie theater, relax your brain, and then enjoy the pleasure/sensation brought by the ice and snow!

Whether it is Rotten Tomatoes, or IMDB, including Javier Ulliel's blog, the discussion of "the day after tomorrow" on the Internet is unimaginable. Just as the "Entertainment Weekly" sample survey after the premiere showed, some people like it and some people hate it, but everyone agrees on one thing: this is a standard summer commercial blockbuster, which is worth watching and recommending.

In the hot pursuit of the audience, "The Day After Tomorrow" made persistent efforts on Saturday and successfully achieved a small counterattack at the box office, winning 30 million US dollars in the next day's box office, continuing its strong performance.

Generally speaking, the box office curve of Hollywood movies is that Saturday is greater than Friday and Sunday. This is the best box office trend, because Friday is a working day, Saturday ushered in a full-scale explosion, and Sunday will drop slightly . If once Friday's single-day box office peak occurs, the subsequent box office data gradually declines, then this is obviously terrible news.

But even so, the 30 million performance of "The Day After Tomorrow" on Saturday is still a surprise. This result still occupies the seventh place in the list of film history's single-day box office on Saturday, behind "Spider". Heroes", "The Matrix 2", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", "X-Men 2", "Star Wars Prequel 2" and other six works!

"The Wall Street Journal" exclaimed in amazement, "Surprise! Absolute surprise! 'The Day After Tomorrow' exploded with such amazing energy when everyone was not optimistic about it. It has only been released for two days. The box office has already reached 58 million! This can be called the biggest discovery in the box office market in 2004!"

Indeed, after the estimated box office on Friday and Saturday came out, all the media were amazed, which not only means that "the day after tomorrow" has far exceeded the premiere box office estimated by 20th Century Fox itself, but also will Exceeding all the media's forecasted box office, the final premiere figure will hit 80 million US dollars - not 50 million, not 60 million, but 80 million! This was absolutely unimaginable before the movie was released.

Originally, everyone thought that the box office of "The Day After Tomorrow" would be sluggish, and they were looking forward to "Troy" setting off a frenzy in this year's summer vacation. 50 million is the goal that "The Day After Tomorrow" should aim at, even if they are most confident about "The Day After Tomorrow" The media can only challenge the "60 million level", but now, "The Day After Tomorrow" has risen to the level of a summer blockbuster in one fell swoop, and the result is indeed jaw-dropping.

Even the "San Francisco Chronicle", which was hostile to the box office premiere of "The Day After Tomorrow", had to tease angrily, "It seems that this year's film market has continued too much and needs to explode." Subtext That is, the box office performance has nothing to do with "The Day After Tomorrow", it is just because the energy accumulated in the previous four months was released in the first week of May. "This also gives us reason to believe that the second work with a premiere box office of more than 100 million US dollars will make its grand debut this summer." This is obviously implying "Troy".

However, the sour attitude of the "San Francisco Chronicle" did not affect the progress of "The Day After Tomorrow". On Sunday, the box office market maintained a positive attitude, which made "The Day After Tomorrow" continue to shine on the third day of its premiere. Achieved box office data of 26 million US dollars.

boom! boom! boom! The entire North American market exploded immediately!
