As the crowd walked out of the Kodak Theater, Emil felt lost. He turned his head and looked at the huge poster hanging high at the main entrance. Prince Alsace held up the warhammer and shouted angrily in the burning Stantamsome, preparing to avenge his enemies, but entered the abyss of fate.

"What are you looking at?" his companion reminded him, "It's getting late, it's time for us to leave."

Now, Emil's dissatisfaction with the film has disappeared. Although the film hardly mentions the tribe he loves deeply, the excitement is far beyond his highest expectations. Even if the dark ending makes people feel depressed, it cannot at all weaken his view that he thinks this will definitely be a classic film.

"Wait a moment."

Motivating his companions to wait, Emil took out his phone, edited a piece of information, and uploaded it to his Twitter and Facebook one after another.

"A great work is worse than fighting in art films like "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince"! The film not only produces the feeling of classical tragedy, but also uses the role of Arthas Minaihill to fully reflect the contradiction between people on both sides of good and evil. The most important thing is that the movie is so beautiful that it is impeccable!"

After sending it, Emil found that his companions were doing the same thing.

“For such an excellent movie as World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince, no matter how much praise is, it is redundant!”

As the night gradually became deeper, the quietness returned to the front of the busy Kodak Theater. Kenneth Toulan waved goodbye to his old friend Todd McCarthy, got into his car, and told the driver to go home directly.

He opened a small notebook. Although professional critics have declined, for some reasons, he has been providing submissions to the Los Angeles Times. Watching videos is a habit he has developed for decades.

To be honest, he was not optimistic about this film before attending the premiere. After all, there are almost no examples of game adaptation movies that can really be successful, and director Natalie Portman is the first time to direct a film of this type. Even if she is the first female best director in Oscar history, she still needs to accumulate slowly in commercial films.

Although he is a professional, Kenneth Tulan never thinks that commercial films are simple things, especially commercial films that invest heavily in large-scale productions. If you are not careful, it will turn into a disaster. It is far more cautious and difficult to make such films than movies!

What he didn't expect was that the film was unexpectedly exciting, and Ryan gave his best performance in recent years. Natalie Portman completed a masterpiece.

With the help of the records in the notebook, Kenneth Tulan recalled the video while writing the first draft of the film review that would be submitted to the Los Angeles Times after the meeting.

"If World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince is the most experienced and ambitious work in its genre, it is by no means an exaggeration. In terms of design conceptualization, script creation, actor performance and director production, it surpasses all game-adapted movies, and can even be compared with the Lord of the Rings trilogy if measured from the perspective of magical epic."

"This film starring Natalie Portman at the helm and Ryan Jenkins is a dark, complex and uneasy movie. Because it shows the complex side of human nature in front of the audience, rather than just creating a warhammer-waving image symbol. This difference may not be very different for those game fans who are looking forward to it. But I can say here that "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" is the first game adaptation film to have truly achieved great artistic achievements so far!"

Meanwhile, in a car heading to Santa Monica, Todd McCarthy was doing almost the same thing.

“World of Warcraft: The Prince of Wrath is no longer limited to game movies, Natalie Portman gives the soul to Ryan Jenkins’s Alsace and becomes a fascinating tragedy. It creates some characters we care about. This is because of Ryan’s performance and screenwriter, because of Natalie’s directing, because of the ultimate technical quality of the entire production.”

"This is a great, popular and profound commercial hall-level masterpiece. It contains too much content for 2 hours and 35 minutes, which is as exciting as a roller coaster! At the same time, it is grand, disastrous and inappropriate for children. "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" raises such vulgar films to a very high level!"

The long dark night slowly disappeared, and the rising sun climbed into the sky, illuminating the Disney headquarters building. Ryan walked into his office and sat in a comfortable boss chair. The first thing he saw was the midnight box office statistics placed on his desk.

Seeing the numbers above, the corners of his mouth bent slightly, a little better than expected.

The office door was suddenly pushed open. Nicole, who was stepping on high heels, walked to the opposite side of the desk, pulled the chair and sat on it, took the coffee cup in front of him, and took a big sip without hesitation.

She had just put down the coffee cup, and before she could speak, the door suddenly was knocked. Charlize Theron walked in and was slightly stunned when he saw Nicole. Then he smiled at her, sat on the sofa on the side, took the phone number on the coffee table, and called the secretary desk.

"Two cups of coffee, no sugar, thank you!"

"Why are you here?" Ryan couldn't help frowning.

"I invested a lot of money in this video..." Nicole didn't go to see Charlize Theron at all, and also frowned at Ryan, "Of course I have to come and see the latest market reaction."

"So too," Charlize continued.

The knock on the door sounded again, and two young ladies walked in one after another. The secretary holding coffee in front, and the Natalie behind...

She was stunned for a moment when she saw Nicole and Charlize.

"Sit down."

Hearing Ryan's voice, Natalie looked at him squintly, walked to the other side of the room, and sat in Charlize's position far away.

The secretary was very smart and quickly fled the office after putting down his coffee.

"I believe you all have the same purpose here."

After rubbing his forehead, Ryan was too lazy to say anything beautiful, so he picked up the statistics and said, "The midnight box office is OK, slightly better than expected. North America recorded 18.5 million US dollars, and there is no specific statistics overseas."

After Ryan's words, he could clearly see the two investors and another director breathing a sigh of relief. However, the office also fell into a slightly awkward silence.

"If you have time."

Faced with this situation, Ryan had to suggest, "We can go out together and take a look at Disney's newly renovated employee entertainment hall."

"No need!"

Nicole stood up first, and walked out of the office without looking at the people on both sides.

"I also need to prepare for the promotion of the movie." Natalie left without looking back.

Only Charlize was left. The South African Diamond shrugged Ryan, covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Sorry, my dear. I'm going to go back to CT headquarters."

The sound of high heels disappeared, and the office calmed down again.

Starting today, Friday, "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" was released in 94 countries and regions around the world at the same time. In North America, 4,366 theaters were launched at the same time, setting the largest release record this year.

The $18.5 million North American midnight box office is not outstanding, and it cannot even be compared with the last two movies of "Twilight", but it is already very rare for such a game-adapted movie.

According to Ryan and Disney's expectations, "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" is qualified if it can earn $15 million in midnight box office.

After midnight, although some hardcore game fans criticized the movie for not respecting the game settings and adapting it was a mess, this sound was only a few of them, and the overall audience reputation of the film was excellent. Especially in the afternoon, the latest survey statistics showed that the audience mouth of "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" has been in the burst of "a+".

On the Internet, Ryan Disney Online's fans scored as high as 96 points...

From the novel originally published in "Vanity Fair" to the Blizzard real-time strategy games and online games that were completely carried forward, the "Warcraft" series was born for more than fifteen years. Such a long time was enough to cultivate a large number of fans, which are the basis and obstacles to the success of the movie.

Just like the situation encountered in the "Lord of the Rings" series, if the quality of the film is not up to standard, with the criticism of a large number of fans, the large investment in the film will only turn into a complete disaster; and when the film has quality assurance and can still meet the needs of most fans, it will burst out with a strong audience reputation and market reaction.

In a day Friday, World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince won $67.16 million from North America, with a single-player box office of $15,384!

This result looks like this after entering the second decade of the 21st century, but don’t forget that the film does not have a high ticket price 3D version. Except for the IMAX version, most of them are ordinary 2D versions with a ticket price of $7!

On the second day, although the box office in North America fell by 29%, it still received US$47.65 million!

Sunday's $43.59 million pushed the film's first week of North America to a height of $158.41 million!

This is a height that a game-adapted movie has never reached, and it is also a box office result in North America that magical epic films have never reached!

Compared with Ryan's base, North America, the film's performance overseas was relatively inferior. The overseas box office in the first week was only a little more than $150 million, and the global box office was just over $300 million.

However, compared to expectations, this result was enough to satisfy Ryan and Disney.

In the following time, "World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince" still performed strongly in North America, and even won the box office championship for three weeks in the summer. The global box office reached 400 million US dollars in just 18 days since its release!

The global screening of this film lasted until Christmas and achieved great success in commercial terms. The box office in North America finally remained at $534.85 million. The overseas box office was slightly worse, but it also earned $469.7 million, with the global box office combined to $1 billion.4.55 million.

This box office result was irrelevant to Ryan, but it set a series of records.

This is the most box office magical epic film in North America, the highest box office game adaptation film in North America and the world, and the first time a single work directed by a female director has exceeded 500 million US dollars in North America, exceeding 1 billion US dollars worldwide!
