Back then, "500 Days with Summer" made the on-screen couple Joseph and Scarlett gain a lot of fans. Now in "Teddy Bear", Joseph and Scarlett team up again. Several waves of promotional videos before the screening.
, as fans of the two and Shao Shuaijun continued to improve their scores, they created a record of 100 positive reviews.
As an R-rated comedy, "Teddy Bear" did not hold any premiere. Now Shao Shuaijun no longer needs a premiere to promote it. With years of word-of-mouth accumulation, director Shao Shuaijun's reputation is getting better and better. Basically,
With the words "Shao Shuaijun's work" in the title, the audience will know that this is a good movie.
April 30th, the media has already regarded today as the day that kicks off the summer season war in 2010.
Compared with the 100 positive reviews contributed by fans, the media should be much more cautious and wait and see cautiously about the box office of "Teddy Bear". If it were a movie directed by Shao Shuaijun with great effort, the media would definitely advocate a box office hit, but this time Shao Shuaijun learned
Playing with fire, double-open!
""Teddy Bear" is about to be released, and Shao Shuaijun is arrogant and is filming simultaneously, which may lead to a recurrence of the tragedy of "Nightwatch"!" - "Chicago Sun-Times" fired.
However, whether these media are ridiculing or supporting, every report now is free publicity for "Teddy Bear". Joseph and Scarlett took the leading actors around to promote, but Shao Shuaijun disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Now, apart from staying in a special effects company in Hollywood, he flies back to the capital to be with Li Xiuxiu and the baby in her belly.
From April 30 to May 2, the three-day weekend has passed, and the North American weekend box office has been released. "How to Train Your Dragon", which was released for two weeks, ranked third with 10.83 million U.S. dollars, while "The New Evil", a reimagining of the classic horror movie
Street", which took in $32.21 million in its first weekend, achieving outstanding results.
However, the most dazzling one is "Teddy Bear". This small-budget R-rated comedy, relying on Shao Shuaijun's quality assurance, has an unrivaled performance and has taken in 65.5 million U.S. dollars, setting a new record for an R-rated film in April.
A new record for film performance! While the movie won high box office, it also gained a good reputation among media people.
"A subversive take on a childhood toy that is not suitable for children." - The New York Times.
"The most unexpected surprise of this film is its Spielbergian fairy tale feel, and it also earned some tears." - "Hollywood News".
"The teddy bear is the funniest character in any movie this year, and it also has the best comedy script of the year." - The Denver Post.
"The film's satirical objects include race, religion, emotions, reality and other topics, but at the same time it has enough warmth as a balance." - "Los Angeles Times".
"Using a well-known toy to play a marginal role in an R-rated movie has a wonderful chemical reaction." - "Beyond Hollywood".
"The whole movie is about ruining childhood. This teddy bear is very immature in its thinking. It is a funny comedy that starts from an interesting hypothesis and ends up being vulgar to the end."
"A subversive satire that had been expected for a long time, but it was warmer than expected, and sadly, not as happy as expected."
It can’t be said to be good or bad. The freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes is only 60, and the score on IMDB is only 7.3. It can be said that there is no achievement in terms of word-of-mouth, but R-rated comedies are never shot for word-of-mouth, and they never look at word-of-mouth.
Just look at the box office!
It grossed US$65.5 million in its first week, sweeping away the box office failure of Summit Entertainment's "Dance My Life 4". From May 7th to 9th, including Mother's Day, "Teddy Bear" bucked the trend and rose uncharacteristically. It was incredible.
With US$102.5 million, it reached the top and surpassed its first week, setting a second-week box office record for an R-rated film.
Everyone at Summit Entertainment was smiling crookedly.
""Teddy Bear" makes a crazy counterattack, Shao Shuaijun's magical aura continues, and the best-selling R-rated comedy in history is born ahead of schedule!" - "Hollywood Entertainment Report".
"What caused the rise of "Teddy Bear" against the trend - "USA Today" will give you a detailed explanation. Great director Shao Shuaijun's latest movie "Teddy Bear" has been released in North America for two weeks and has already achieved a super box office of US$214 million.
Overseas, it also achieved good results of 103 million U.S. dollars. In the second week of the movie in North America, it uncharacteristically exceeded the first week's performance. Perhaps because of the weakness of the movie market this week, the second-place "A Nightmare on Elm Street" only received 9.17 million.
US dollars, the combined box office of the second to tenth place is less than one-third of "Teddy Bear". It must be said that there were too many bad movies this week, which helped "Teddy Bear" achieve dazzling results."
With a global revenue of US$317 million in two weeks, "Teddy Bear" has one foot in the top-grossing R-rated comedy territory in history.
On May 14th, another major production of Summit Entertainment, "Iron Man 2" from the Marvel Cinematic Universe project, will be released in North America. The US$200 million epic blockbuster "Robin Hood" produced by Universal Pictures will also be released. At the beginning of the summer season,
An eye-catching melee broke out, in which "Teddy Bear" and his own "Iron Man 2" fought against each other.
However, at the end of the weekend, the expected war did not start. "Iron Man 2" strongly topped the list with 128 million US dollars. "Robin Hood" had a bad start and only earned 32 million US dollars. The movie is destined to lose money. Universal is seriously out of touch with the six major
The momentum of the ranks.
The box office of "Teddy Bear" also plummeted, ranking third with 24 million U.S. dollars. However, the overseas box office was gratifying, taking in 94 million U.S. dollars this week, and the global box office was 435 million U.S. dollars. The total box office in North America has accumulated to 238 million U.S. dollars.
US dollars, surpassing "Beverly Hills Cop" with US$234 million in North America, and ranking among the top three R-rated comedies in North American history.
Second only to "The Hangover" with 277 million US dollars, and "The Hangover 2" with 254 million US dollars. And the release period of "Teddy Bear" is not over yet.
At the end of another weekend from May 21st to 23rd, "Shrek 4" took the championship with US$71.25 million, "Iron Man 2" ranked second with US$58 million, and "Robin Hood" had a pitiful US$18.7 million.
Ranked third, "Teddy Bear" ranked fourth with $9.8 million.
At this point, "Teddy Bear" has a box office of US$248 million in North America and US$505 million globally after four weeks, which is a mess. "Iron Man 2" has US$217 million in North America and US$419 million globally after two weeks, and it is also a mess. Summit Entertainment
The road to glory is unstoppable!
"Shao Shuaijun will be the future leader of Hollywood. In his hands, any subject matter can be turned into dollar bills!" - "Times".
The box office hit, and his wife is pregnant. Shao Shuaijun has no reason to be unhappy. Now he is smiling all day long. He also likes to show off and get embarrassed in front of his friends. After a few days, all the friends who are close to him know that Shao Shuaijun is about to be promoted.

The messages from fans were all blessing Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu, and looking forward to the birth of Xiao Shao. There were also many female fans who left messages saying that there was one less good man in the world and she was going to become a monk.
"my country's famous director Shao Shuaijun recently claimed on his scarf that he was about to become a father. It is reported that he and his wife Li Xiuxiu have been in love for five years and had obtained a marriage certificate before." The media also speculated on this news.
After Shao Shuaijun sent the message, he forgot about his scarf and never thought of sending another message. He could announce to the world that he was a father and hoped that everyone would share his joy, but he did not want the whole world to pay attention to his family.
.In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Li Xiuxiu is almost three months pregnant, but her belly is still a little big and there is no sign of pregnancy at all.
Now Li Xiuxiu has begun to strictly follow the doctor's instructions for the sake of her children. She eats when she should eat and sleeps when she should sleep. After Shao Shuaijun comes back, he can only follow this routine. For someone like him, staying up late has become a daily routine.
He said that his wife was as lonely as snow when she was pregnant.
