As a result, the box office barely exceeded 10 million in the first week, and the media's comprehensive score of 49 directly caused a group of Huang Liangmeng who wanted to use the big adventures of paranoid looking for girls and menopausal middle-aged women against the government to pay for fans.
It is estimated that the final North American box office of X-Files-I Want To Believe will stay at around 20 million. Of course, with the support of overseas fans, the cost of 30 million can be basically guaranteed, but such a result still has to be described as a fiasco. As a work with a deep mass base and a ten-year-long appetite, the name of the X file itself is a guarantee of the box office. However, the box office in North America is so far apart as a dream that even a mere 50 million. It is really impossible to explain.
So I have always doubted whether CC's mind was caught by the door. As the founder of X-Files, this kind of achievement is enough to go home and apologize. Until yesterday, I looked for the disc and it was honestly not as bad as I thought, at least it was able to pass. As for the reasons for the failure of the box office, I think it is as follows:
1. Too faithful to the show. The cold and cold style of the TV series has been inherited very well. The heavy snow in the whole film and the many night scenes are indeed very original. The problem is that Batman wants to be realistic and help De start learning Bonn’s changing era, and he is still holding his old book. You’re not Dr. Whip NB, and your hair turns white and you come out with that broken cowboy hat to engage in twilight romance. To be able to make money, it still has to be something new.
2. Ten years. Ten years later, we are friends...Uh, not this ten years, it was after "Fight The Future" that there was a "I Want To Believe" ten years later. The students of the original soundtrack of "Fight The Future" have all become middle-aged Ogissan (actually me, Khan). Don’t you see God’s drama "The Troubles of Growing Up", the first DVD of the first season was only released after more than two decades. It was because the new youth didn’t buy it and it was unfinished. I have to wait ten years to find death, right?
3. Comrade CC, you can make a small-cost TV series. If you want to make a movie again, forget it. There is no big scene in the whole movie, nothing can stimulate adrenal hormones. This is a movie, and the audience wants to watch it in the home. If you put different things in the small box, you still follow the TV set. Who can buy it? OK, you said your costs are limited. Look at the 70 million box office performance of "Twilight" which cost 37 million last week. It's cold.
4. What about Alien? What about ET? Where is the UFO? Everyone knows how X-Files started, and exploring the government to cover up evidence of alien organisms is the main line of the show (if someone wants to say that the love story of a paranoid man and an older woman is the main line, I would not object to it. If you put this When watching a love TV movie). Other spiritual events, pseudo-scientific phenomena, water monsters, savages, bigfoot and the like are just the spice of this main story. And put a head-changing story similar to the CCTV-10 science exploration program (this head-changing theme itself is very ridiculous, but also satirizes the phenomenon of gay marriage~~) forcibly supporting the dragon seat, the whole film is full of obscure religions, On the topic of faith, there is no alien life that can attract attention, plus a pretending, trivial, idiotic old weird grandfather pulled in by a SB script, babbling "Don't give up", and finally It's strange to use the phrase "I want to believe" that fans regard as a classic, and it's weird if you don't fail.
Okay, the complaint is over. For the loyal X-Files fans, this film is useless and barely passes, but for those who have never watched the original series, you can just ignore it. As for why I gave four stars, I still have to give this emotional score. After all, you have to watch how many episodes of X come to X before you can see this pair of dog men and women sleeping together with their arms around. It’s not easy to be a fan, and tears are full of tears. Orbital ing.
