The endless stream of moviegoers finally made people realize that it is the summer season.

It was not until this moment that North America finally had a sense of reality in the summer season. The cinema almost showed 24 hours of uninterrupted liveliness and turbulence. The attendance rate of each show easily exceeded 50%. Four works such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Rampant Road", "Dwarf", and "Three People in the Same/House" started fiercely. Even the "Return of Superman" who had previously weakened the momentum and the "Queen of Prada" who rose with reputation have returned to the battle circle. The turbulent summer has finally awakened people's enthusiasm for watching movies again.

Large theaters in big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, etc. are all gathering crowds. Many theaters need to queue up during the ticket purchase stage. Such a prosperous scene makes Hollywood happy. Putting aside the victory or defeat, the full explosion of the film market is definitely a matter of pros and cons.

Unexpectedly, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Raging Road" launched a close-knit battle. Although major news media are looking forward to this summer battle this year, when "Raging Road" truly showed its high and strong combat power, the media was still very surprised. Especially when "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" performed well, "Raging Road" is still not weak. The excitement of this showdown is rising sharply, and even the heat of midsummer is similar.

Although box office statistics still require waiting time, the competition above imdb has entered a white-hot stage.

In just eight days after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the number of voters on IDC has reached 210,000. This set of data alone is enough to see the level of attention this movie has received since its release. Fanatic fans are sought after and vote, which is directly reflected in the movie's premiere box office data, which is really gratifying. After the 210,000 votes, the movie's rating temporarily settled at 7:50. This result is gratifying for commercial movies. Although it has a greater decline than the previous work, you can still feel that the audience's recognition of the commercial entertainment of this work. Even with the increase in the number of voters, the score will inevitably decline, but the movie's box office endurance is still guaranteed.

This is definitely a good news for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", especially after "Rampant Road" delivered a terrible answer at the box office on Friday, the huge pressure on the decline in the next week can be slightly alleviated.

At the same time, the "Raging Road" showed an unstoppable upward momentum, showing the reaction and feedback of movie fans in the most intuitive and vivid way.

Since the movie was just premiered on Friday, the number of viewers watching the movie will not be too large, and even fewer people are willing to vote on ImDB. Therefore, people take it for granted that the value of "Rampage Road" will not become clear until the next week. But the fact is that after the screening on Saturday, "Rampage Road" flooded a total of 150,000 people on the ImDB page to vote!

150,000 people, even if this data is not shocking, it is not far away. Considering that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" won 210,000 votes in eight days, the number of voters in "Raging Road" exceeded 150,000 in two days, and the popularity is close to "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" - After the movie was released, it attracted more than 230,000 votes on the premiere weekend, and the expectation index was completely out of the charts. Now it seems that "Raging Road" has the ability to go to a higher level, which reminds people of the crazy box office of "Raging Road" on Friday. Perhaps, the box office potential of this work is still above people's expectations.

Compared with the data of 150,000 votes, what is even more incredible is that the "Raging Road" score has reached 9:8 points!

The imdb scoring system is the most direct reflection of the information feedback from audiences in the Internet era. Perhaps this list is not authoritative enough or objective enough, but it is undeniable that the list of the top 250 imdb films reflects the popularity of movies - whether it is a commercial work or an artistic work, only when an influence is created between the audience can the artistic value be reflected.

Since the rating list of the top 250 films was launched, ImDB has only produced three works with an average score of more than nine points, "Shawshank Redemption", "Godfather" and "Godfather 2". Of course, during the rating process, it is not uncommon for newly released movies to break through nine points in a short period of time, but after time accumulation and the increase in rating users, the score often falls below nine points, which has also caused only three works to score more than nine points so far. "Shawshank Redemption" and "Godfather" achieved 9:2 points are the historical records of ImDB. Since it reached the top, "Shawshank Redemption" has never been pulled down from the list, firmly holding the championship throne, and no one can shake it.

But now, history is born!

At 9:8, "Raging Road" actually achieved a terrifying high score of 9:8, surpassing all competitors with an absolute advantage, ranking high in the top 250 ImDB films. This is not just as simple as the fourth nine-point movie, but more terrifying is that in the list of "zero-one" to determine the victory and loss, "Raging Road" actually exceeded the "Shawshank Redemption" for a full 0:6 points. This gap is almost irreparable. In other words, even if the number of subsequent voters increases, it is estimated that the top position of "Raging Road" will be difficult to shake.

What's more, this score is not 30,000, and 50,000 fanatical fans win votes. This is the result of 150,000 audiences voting in a concentrated manner. The huge voting base means... the objectivity of this score. Although, as the popularity of the movie declines and people's fanaticism gradually returns to their rationality, the decline in scores is inevitable, but the miracle created by the "Raging Road" still set off a storm, and the huge gap seems to have already suggested the change of imdb.

Time proves this conjecture.

After the number of voters on "Rampant Road" exceeded one million, the score continued to stabilize at 9:4. The leading advantage was still unshakable, truly replacing "Shawshank Redemption" and becoming the best in ImDB's film history. This achievement was not possible until ten years later. The Los Angeles Times comments became the best footnote to the movie: this is a work that perfectly combines business and art.

No one expected that Lance would be recorded in history in this way and enter the director's master's hall.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not an accident, because Lance has already proved his strength with works one by one and won his own recognition. In the 250 ImDB scoring system, Lance occupies four seats alone, namely "Rampant Road", "City of God", "City of Sin" and "Fruit Hard Candy". You should know that Lance has only directed six films at present, and only "After acquired" and "Killing with a Knife" have not been able to make it to the list. What's even more incredible is that "Rampant Road", "City of God", and "Fruit Hard Candy" rank in the top 100, among which "Rampant Road" is the first in film history, and "City of God" is the highest ranking of foreign language films.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lance is perfect, and every work has received countless praises. From the thought-provoking of the Crime Trilogy to the in-depth discussion of "Fruit Hard Candy" to the future world of "Raging Road", every step is so solid that it is getting further and further on the road of artistic creation. What is even more rare is that Lance is always able to find the appropriate balance between business and art. In addition to the unsatisfactory artistic value of "acquired" people, Lance's works can always achieve his own artistic proposition while winning the box office.

The "Raging Road" reached the top cannot be said to be an accident, but it can only be said to be accumulating strength. As Javier Ulier thought, with Lance's current achievements and current achievements, "Raging Road" should not be treated as before. This movie master under 34 years old should naturally occupy a place in the long river of Hollywood movie history. Now, "Raging Road" has finally made Lance famous and strongly declared his historical status in an unreasonable but domineering way.

After the imdb score came out, the news media was furious. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" looked like paper in front of "Raging Road", and the two were not on the same level at all. Moreover, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" originally thought that the heavyweight was lightweight, while "Raging Road" was ignored by people, brought heavyweight shock. From the new single-day box office record on Friday to the fanatical pursuit of the imdb rating system, all signs are showing: the North American weekend box office champion seems to be changing hands this week.
