Overview: the day the Earth stopped "leads Christmas stall annual Christmas film feast with the December 11, the day the Earth stopped" exhibition and go straight to the table, this is the box office "tailored" high concept film is devoid of suspense of captured the opening weekend box office champion and painting. However, compared to the same period last year of the vote not put "," I am Legend "the leader of a win-win situation, the Earth Christmas stall stops," albeit "unique", but Sunday-day box office only HK $ 263 million, compared to premiere on Thursday of 211 million is only about 50 million more than last year's vote particularized "," I am Legend "cumulative 428 million (the vote was not put on 224 million," I am Legend "is 204 million) was shrunk by 40% �� so that the box office this week Sunday top ten accumulated less than $ 350 million, compared with last year's champion and the runner-up of and reduces approximately 100 million, not to mention, the second runner-up in the same period last year and the ALVINE Chipmunk also achieved approximately 57 million box office. The day the Earth stopped "to win, it can be said that as early as expected, after all, it is already at author-time to high concept film mode. Follow & authoring into the centuries: the globalization of Chinese film "," ' high concept ' (HighConceptFilm) is a United States Hollywood as a typical representative of stylized film production mode is essentially a marketing guide creative film production and subsequent operation of the market. The concept of the ' high ' (HighConceptFilm) is the most market-oriented, highly commercial film categories, is the production and marketing of the whole process is the pursuit of maximizing marketing of movies, because of its excellent commercial performance, enjoyment of ' United States hit movie of "the formula". Depending on the day the Earth stopped, this consists of the base dimension Cotonou �� Levi's shoulder, adaptation starring in 1951 classic version, and in recent years the commercialization of science-fiction films at the box office blockbuster, coupled with the traditional Christmas stall, and the movie's Hong Kong at the box office to a champion, showing four days have accumulated more than 1050 million, far higher than the same period last year release the vote he knew "and" I am Legend ", and is expected by the end of this year exceeded 20 million dollars, or even into the year box office top 10. However, the huge box office figures and movie's reputation is not formed between. Critics stone, is courtesy of the author expressed "the Bigelow �� Levi's play alien, good in both flesh and Super, flew to, any human can be restrained by force. Unfortunately, this story is not far-fetched, alien friend and probation, the world is too simple. Bigelow �� Levi's is a bit of the ' residual ', has not yet recovered was dilated, actress Jennifer Connally is not big, like cutting-edge home theatre quite heavy kids often confused his temper, very cute. Director Scott wears enough force less favourable manner, and vivid stunts are earnestly disaster, but no new stimulation ", the more the audience comments" to disaster film look not suicide chengren of tear, nor to make human beings really hate their own reflection effect, only the whole thing came out of it without a head, also very convincing impression ". However, such a high concept film in Hollywood productions, particularly in the Hong Kong market, often because of poor box office-of-mouth is too bad, not to mention the fact that many viewers watch the movie is as a pastime, not to discuss the meaning behind the movie. Compared to the day the Earth stopped "high box office, in the North American market has become the dark horse leapt out of comedy" four Christmases ", in the Hong Kong market is a result of the work, like the General exhibition of four days of the accumulation of box office 82 million, is expected to end at around 180 million, and in the North American market is about to break through the $ 100 million" high profile "sharp contrast. In fact, as this class in the native horse jump out but in the Hong Kong market-profile not quite Hollywood productions, such as last year's "a night of Tatu, etc. And box office worse Hark's new movie "the woman is not bad, both Premiere to 6 million record breaking June the deep sea search" 8.4 million records of low, the box office only on Sunday with 11 million cumulative 41 million �C than the deep sea search on four days of the accumulation of 68 million declined by about 40% to more than 100 million at the box office is almost impossible to complete the task. Origin only newcomer, who heard the old people cry, but last weekend's box office results, then obviously old people smiling bride crying. The witness on Sunday still achieved nearly 20 million box office, day will be more than 800 million as the annual Chinese films at the box office of the tenth or eleventh name (to see this week's release of the ye ask "box office performance); the Cape No. 7" in the day the Earth stopped "force under pressure, still achieved almost 13 million results, is expected to end at approximately 760 million; the birds on the double and I to understate the does not sell, I sold the uterus of only 5 million respectively, 2 million Sunday at the box office, believe that they have not much room for development. The recent release of these Chinese films-box office fate, compared to the same period last year there were downturns, but, prior to release the Jin Ping Mei, there was a zombie crush you "these two Hong Kong films are in this week's issue of the Hong Kong version DVD. As for the new 007, quantum crisis has exited box office list, accumulated nearly 1906 million, probably ultimately from HK in 1915, but unable to break through about 2000 million. Our weekend box office rankings (December 14, 2008) ranking titles box office (HKD) number showing homes being the number cumulative daily box office (million) 1 the Earth stopped day "2625408 86 4 10572 the four 231617 Christmas" 26 4 823 the 199862 witnesses " 34 18 7504 the Cape" , 7 125048 23 25 7285 "the woman is not bad R > 109143 18 4 416 the Wolf 78602 teeth " 23 11 2087 the birds on the double 46302 pampered" 16 24 3108 the death notices "37741 3 11 459 " just happened " 32202 10 11 6210 " I do not sell, I sold 22383 uterus " 5 11 44 the woman not bad: the box office does not love in the nineties of the Hong Kong film, Tsui Hark is definitely a one of the directors, he's the Warriors, Huang Feihong series, Oriental unbeaten", "a Chinese ghost story" series, etc., but in the last few years of work, including the Sanda "," black hero 2 "," seven swords, Word of mouth almost a fall a thousand Poles, especially this year exhibition tracing the deep sea, premiere at the box office only 8.4 million Sunday only 11 million, the final box office is only about 130 million. However, more unexpected is that his new movie "the woman is not bad, the box office performance on even the tracing of the deep sea, much less than with him at the turn of the nineties when compared to the peak State. The woman is not bad is a declaration of "woman"-works (films also interspersed a lot about the "woman" and "wisdom"), from the Mainland companies to invest in products that come from the Mainland of Zhou Xun, the from Taiwan Zhangyuqi Guilun magnesium outline of the three major star of the bear, and mix up starring fangzhongxin, Chiao, starring pengyuyan,. But the movie's screenplay is the progenitor of no small guozairong, who a few years ago by virtue of the barbaric girlfriend "I almost became Korea" female film "advocate, he has movies to convey the concern of the female and easy way to win the audience acclaim, even I, Tsui Hark, Director of the new daomadan", "Dragon Inn" and other works which shape the image of a female one, but so did not join, as a movie of how much the Kam on bright flowers, but suffered a box office of Waterloo. Prior to the box office, Tsui Hark itself is a very talented Director of great ideas, like a "old" films, still do not forget the big play Postmodernism and fashion elements, the classic plot and a new era of integration between the elements (such as an auction, where the movie overall cartoon elements) that reflects in his creative process in abstract-like thinking. But also abstract, but also abstract �� to be his idea, and many parts of the movie seem like 80 's Hong Kong movies like "gone too far, exhaustively exhaustively Mania", making favorite audience benefit plus like and disgusted by the audience, the more offensive, such as the author for insertion of fantasy battle two paragraphs, think too simple performance, not to mention the scriptwriter guozairong once my barbaric girlfriend, played this plot and more close to the plot ("my girlfriend" refers to the barbarian heroine is a like fantasy amateur writers). The movie's reputation has become a mixed record, film critic Ryan first read the day the Earth stopped "and was disappointed to see the woman is not bad, but thought it was OK," overall, the woman is not bad to fantasy package describes three woman just in flexible pursuit men's story. Film in colour and visually is very strong, and actor in the exaggerated and visually build a real cartoon, women love troubles to comedy show the way. Tsui Hark at played in recent rare there are disturbed turbulent, Tsui Hark not much hope, bring a lot of surprises down ", many viewers find wasted film scenes (including actor Zhou Xun, guilun magnesium, costume know Zhang Shu-equal). However, this target audience is already obvious, even though the mainland audience or by hark, but three actress is not the story from Hong Kong, Hong Kong element basically took (only guilun magnesium fantasy male singers from Hong Kong), the label affixed with Beijing �� compared to last year's Hong Kong film, this year's more seem polarization, or simply to languish or to leave the "conservation" as seeing the images also left a narrative which memories, but both are behind while illustrates a problem, the Hong Kong film of this diminished! however, regardless of the movie making environment, perhaps, Tsui Hark, Liu Chang, Nien Chen, this leaves a good reflection on the next how authoring �� they are not just this year, the Director of a film, but in addition to the leaf read sum my love ", the word of mouth are not very good, not to mention the box office. This week's new film: "ye ask" summarily "twilight town" because the mainland movie's adjustment (in particular "non-Shing disturbance not" lead to the release, 18 December), many of the Hong Kong film also followed one after another change, "ye ask 's" in advance-December 12, official release, and the Hong Kong market is advanced to 16 December. But with the same period of the ye ask ", the film is November from Hollywood jumped out of a horse," twilight town ", the former yeweixin combo with zhenzidan is the annual portfolio, the latter of the idols-vampire romance you attract a lot of young audience attention, the difference between market PK will become the focus of the Hong Kong market this week. But there are also five works to the Christmas stall for war �� Japan feature film the Tokyo tribal law and mainland feature film the babe magnet "will be released on December 18, Carnival-style animation also occupies three" places ", including" Madagascar 2: fled to Africa (Madagascar2), "Thomas train great movie: Watt's town adventure" (Thomas & Friends: The GreatDiscovery) and the pet fairies film version: Battle Tower of time and space. Overall, this year's Christmas stall a bit cold, lack particularized the vote, "I am Legend", works also cited run Christmas stallSo, many movies are competing in this year's exhibition in attempt to win than usual and more and better box office results.
