The attendance rate of each show easily exceeded 50%. “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” , “Fury Road”, “Little Man”, and “Same/Living Threesome” and other four works fought fiercely. Returning to the battle circle, the turmoil and uproar in midsummer finally awakened people’s enthusiasm for watching movies again.

As expected but unexpectedly, “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” and “Fury Road” launched a hand-to-hand combat. Although the major news media are looking forward to this year’s summer file war, but when “Fury Road” really shows When the high-spirited and exuberant fighting power was released, the media was still very surprised, especially in the case of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” outstanding performance, “Fury Road” still showed no sign of weakness. The heat pales in comparison.

Although the box office statistics still need to wait for time, the competition on IMDB has already entered a fever pitch.

“Pirates of the Caribbean 2” has only been released for eight days, and the number of voters on IMDB has reached 210,000. This set of data alone is enough to show the degree of attention this movie has received since its release. Fanatical fans This is directly reflected in the film’s premiere box office data, which is really gratifying; after 210,000 people voted, the film’s rating temporarily settled at 7.5 points, which is a good result for the film. It is gratifying for a commercial film. Although it has regressed a lot compared to the previous film, it can still be felt that the audience affirms the commercial and entertaining nature of this work. Even if the number of votes increases in the follow-up, the score will inevitably decline. , but the film’s box office endurance is still guaranteed to a certain extent.

This is definitely good news for “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, especially after the box office of “Fury Road” surrendered against the sky on Friday, the huge pressure of the next week’s decline can be slightly relieved.

At the same time, “Fury Road” has shown an unstoppable upward momentum, showing the fans’ feedback in the most intuitive and vivid way.

Since the movie just premiered on Friday, the audience base for watching the movie is not too much, and the number of people who are willing to vote on IMDB is even smaller, so people take it for granted that the value of “Fury Road” will not be clear until next week stand up. But the fact is that after the screening on Saturday, the page of “Fury Road” on IMDB flooded with a total of 150,000 people to vote!

One hundred and fifty thousand people, even if this figure is not shocking, it is not far away. Considering that “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” only won 210,000 votes in eight days, the number of votes in “Fury Road” exceeded 150,000 in two days, and the popularity is close to that of “The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King”. “—After the movie was released, it attracted more than 230,000 votes in its premiere weekend, and the expectation index was completely out of bounds. Now it seems that “Fury Road” is fully capable of taking it to the next level. This can’t help but remind people of the crazy box office of “Fury Road” on Friday. Perhaps, the box office potential of this work is still above people’s expectations.

Compared with the data of 150,000 voters, what is even more incredible is that the score of “Fury Road” has reached 9.8 points!

The IMDB scoring system is the most direct reflection of audience feedback in the Internet age. Perhaps this list is not authoritative or objective enough, but it is undeniable that the IMDB 250 Best Films list reflects the popularity of movies—regardless of Whether it is a commercial work or an artistic work, the artistic value can only be reflected if it has an influence among the audience.

Since the launch of the 250-best scoring list, IMDB has only produced three works with an average score of nine or more, “The Shawshank Redemption”, “The Godfather”, and “The Godfather 2”. Of course, in the scoring process, it is not uncommon for a newly released movie to break through nine points in a short period of time. Three works scored more than nine points. “Shawshank’s Redemption” and “The Godfather” scored 9.2 points, which is the historical record of IMDB. Since landing at the top of the list, “Shawshank’s Redemption” has never been pulled down from the list, firmly holding the championship throne, no one able to shake.

But now, history was born!

At 9.8 points, “Fury Road” actually achieved such a terrifying high score of 9.8 points, surpassing all competitors by absolute advantage, and ranked first in the list of IMDB’s 250 best films. It’s as simple as the fourth nine-point movie, and what’s even more frightening is that “Fury Road” surpassed “The Shawshank Redemption” by a full zero point in the list where the ranking is determined by “0.1”. Six points, this gap is almost irreparable, in other words, even if the number of follow-up votes increases, it is estimated that the top position of “Fury Road” will be difficult to shake.

What’s more, this score was not obtained by swiping votes from 30,000 or 50,000 fanatical fans. It was the result of concentrated voting by 150,000 viewers. A large voting base also means… the objectivity of this score. Although it is said that as the popularity of the movie declines and people’s fanaticism gradually returns to their senses, the decline in scores is inevitable, but the miracle created by “Fury Road” still set off turbulent waves. The huge gap seems to have hinted at the change of IMDB. .

Time proved this conjecture.

After the number of votes for “Fury Road” exceeded one million, the score continued to stabilize at 9.4 points, and the lead was still unshakable. It truly replaced “Shawshank’s Redemption” and became the best movie in IMDB history. This achievement No one was able to make an impact until ten years later. The review of the “Los Angeles Times” became the best footnote of the film: this is a work that perfectly combines business and art.

In IMDB’s 250 best film scoring system, Lance alone occupies four seats, namely “Fury Road”, “City of God”, “Sin City” and “Hard Candy”. You know, Lance has only directed six films so far, and only “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Murder with a Borrowing Knife” have not been able to make it to the list. What is even more incredible is that “Fury Road”, “City of God” and “Hard Candy” rank among the top 100, among which “Fury Road” is the first in film history, and “City of God” is the top foreign language film. top ranking.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lance hits the nail on the head, receiving numerous praises for each of his works, from the thought-provoking crime trilogy to the in-depth discussion of “Hard Candy” to the future of “Fury Road” The world, every step is so solid, going further and further on the road of artistic creation. What’s even more rare is that Lance has always been able to find the right balance between business and art. Except for the unsatisfactory artistic value of “acquired”, Lance’s works can always win the box office at the same time. , but also to achieve their own artistic proposition.

The summit of “Fury Road” cannot be said to be an accident, but it can only be said to be a result of accumulation. Just as Javier Ulliel thought, with Lance’s current achievements and achievements, “Fury Road” should not suffer the previous treatment. This film master under the age of 34 should of course be in Hollywood. Occupy a place in the long river of film history. Now, “Fury Road” has finally justified Lance’s name, declaring his historical status strongly in an unreasonable but domineering way~www.readmtl.com~.
