At 0:00 on May 4, 2012, New York time, "Avengers" was officially released in 4,349 theaters in North America.
Seeing the Women's Federation's outrage overseas, AMC Cinemas, the largest theater chain in the United States, immediately decided to show "The Incredible Hulk", "Iron Man", "Iron Man 2", "Thor", "
Five movies of "Captain America" were released in succession, so that it would be the evening to succeed "Avengers".
While taking advantage of the opportunity to make money at the box office, he also helped the Women's Federation to warm up the midnight show.
As of the 5th, the total midnight box office of Women's Federation has reached 20.4 million U.S. dollars, surpassing the record of 18.5 million U.S. dollars set by "The Dark Knight" in 2008, becoming the new midnight box office record king of superhero movies.
Excluding regular business hours outside of midnight screenings, Women's Federation grossed US$67.7 million, a figure that set the box office record for a single day during regular business hours in film history.
Adding up the midnight show and normal business hours, the Women's Federation obtained a super figure of US$88.1 million throughout Friday!
It was a hot seller at midnight and also during normal times, which is enough to show that Women's Federation is not a movie for midnight fans like Twilight and The Hungry, but a movie suitable for long-term sales.
Such incredible results, whether it is single-day box office, premiere day box office or Friday single-day box office, are only inferior to last year's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)", which ranked No. 1 in film history.
2, and the midnight screening also ranked 7th in film history.
Experts' eyes were shocked. They originally predicted that the first weekend in North America would be US$125 million, but they quickly adjusted it to US$180 million. This prediction has already surpassed the historical record of US$169 million for Ha Qixia.
But experts are still too conservative!
Three days later, the weekend box office results were released, and there were eyes all over the floor!
The two-day box office of US$78.2 million on Saturday and US$58.5 million on Sunday defeated the US$51.33 million of "Spider-Man 3" and the US$43.59 million of "The Dark Knight" respectively, ranking first in the history of single-day box office on Saturday and Sunday.

At the box office during its opening weekend, "Avengers" earned an incredible US$224.8 million. When it broke through the impossible mark of US$200 million, it also raised the level of US$169 million maintained by Haqixia by a full US$50 million!
As the first film in film history to break through the US$200 million mark in its opening weekend, Women's Federation naturally set new records for the fastest time to cross the US$100 million, US$150 million and US$200 million benchmarks. The average revenue of a single museum has reached astonishing
The film's US$46,057 beat Ha Qixia's US$38,672, ranking first in the history of publicly released films.

If anyone continues to question that he is not a big commercial director and has never had a movie with a box office of over 1 billion US dollars, after the Women's Federation, this kind of voice should disappear!"
——"Beijing Entertainment News".
"Avengers" has become the undoubted king of this summer season.
The box office is like this, and so is the reputation.

San Francisco Chronicle.

——The "Wall Street Journal" gave it a negative review, thinking it was as hollow a blockbuster as "Transformers," which won the Golden Raspberry Award.
"The Avengers has it all and more. It's the chance to see six superheroes with one movie ticket, and it's exactly what I imagined bringing together so many of the icons from Marvel Comics.
As it should be, this is a "Transformers" with brains, hard work and a qualified sense of humor - Suck-on-that, Michael Bay." - "Rolling Stone", the magazine is praising Shao Shuaijun.
At the same time, he unceremoniously named and criticized another blockbuster director, Michael Bay. Suck-on-that means "I am too talented" and was used to make fun of Michael Bay.
"Plot-wise, the film is mostly a pickup truck fueled by previous films. But the massive special effects scene at the end of the film on the streets of New York is a blast in every sense of the word." —
— "Entertainment Weekly".
"Those light-hearted, amusing little jokes cannot cover up the noise and hollowness of this film. This is not a shortcoming of the film itself, but a major feature of this type of film" - "The New York Times" also gave a negative review.
"Shao Shuaijun is the key to making this 230 million-cost monster movie so exciting and vivid. With such complicated content, the audience will hardly notice the nearly two and a half hours of the film." - "Los Angeles Times".
"The Avengers have assembled, and most of the time, they blend very well. The right combination of heroism and humor allows the film to maintain the unique characteristics of each hero's success while also improving the overall quality of the film.

Sound" gave a negative review.
"Shao Shuaijun and his colleagues have combined all the personalities and materials so beautifully to present a delicious meal that is familiar but still irresistible." - "The Hollywood Reporter".

There were negative reviews in the media, but almost overwhelming praise. Only such praise can be worthy of the Women's Federation's earth-shattering momentum of breaking the box office record.
The audience score on IMDB is as high as 9.2 points. Among the 100,000 comments from viewers, it is almost impossible to find one that says it is not good to watch. Of course, this is only temporary. Fans who like this movie will support it. As time goes by,
As time goes by, many movies that had stellar ratings when they were released will slowly decline.
Currently in the top 50 IMDB movies, there are only a few movies after 2000. The relatively high ones are "The Dark Knight", "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" and "Inception" with 8.8
The rest are classic old movies that have been polished by time.
Of course, the Women's Federation, which has a comic fan base, can't fall below the 8-point level no matter how low it is. Looking at more than 100,000 ratings, it is still at 9.2. You know that no matter how time goes by, the high score is guaranteed.
After all, a movie can only be rated by 700,000 to 800,000 people at most.
"It's so good, so good!" This is the sentiment of all the reviewers, especially the young comics geeks.
Don’t underestimate these comic nerds. If you get their support, you won’t be able to make money! These comic nerds don’t smoke, drink, pick up girls, spend money randomly, save some money, and almost all invest in the comic business. Compared with those who usually
For people who spend a lot of money and even watch pirated copies of movies, the cartoon nerds are so cute.
In China, it can be said that "Avengers" has no comic book fan base, but it is still strong at the box office. The ratings are also excellent. On Time.com, the critic score reached 89. Most of the film critics gave it good reviews, but a few people, especially
As a filmmaker from the older generation, I have no favorable impressions of the Women's Federation.
In their words, the Women's Federation is simply a piece of shit, with no connotation and no literary and artistic style!
The Women's Federation does not have much connotation, but this kind of comic-book adaptation is not a dark superhero like Batman. The six superheroes in the comics all have more joyful than deep characters, and they can't be deep no matter what they do.
Come on. There is no need to be too deep. Giving people joy is always better than giving people sadness.
In terms of user ratings, the Women's Federation still received a high score of 9.0.
As netizen Piaomiao Aofutian put it incisively: "The Women's Federation is just a popcorn movie for primary school students' IQs. Fortunately, Shao Shuaijun perfectly and harmoniously sketched the movie together, rather than a hodgepodge. It is not deep but smooth, and has no connotation but is interesting. In Hollywood, In front of a group of kindergarten-level IQs, the IQ of primary school students is already very valuable. Therefore, the Women's Federation's initial victory this time is largely due to Shao Shuaijun, director of the Women's Federation."
Li Xiuxiu, the wife of the director of the Women's Federation, burst out laughing when she saw this comment.
"Husband, director of the Women's Federation, this is a good name." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
