&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; Wandering the earth, the big winner of this year's Spring Festival New Year films, has exceeded 3.6 billion at the box office, becoming the second highest box office in the history of Chinese domestic films. How about the overseas box office performance of "wandering the earth"? What are foreigners' comments on wandering the earth? This article brings you the overseas box office and word-of-mouth news of wandering the earth. Let's have a look.
Since February 5, "wandering the earth" has been released in North America, Australia and New Zealand and other overseas places. The official overseas screening schedule of wandering Earth shows that the film has been launched in cinemas in 21 cities in the United States, mainly in about 40 cinemas in AMC and regal cinemas.
Although the total box office data in North America has not yet been released, a film arrangement table posted by American netizens on twitter can explain the problem.
The picture shows the release of "wandering the earth" and "Le Gao film 2" in the same theater in the United States on February 8. "Wandering the earth" not only has far more films than the latter, but also almost all the tickets are "sold out" or "nearly full".
Referring to AMC's official website, it is found that the popularity of wandering the earth is significantly higher than that of other films released at the same time. Take the ticket booking page of a cinema in New York on February 11 as an example. There were 15 shows throughout the day. Although they were not full, almost all the movie tickets during the prime viewing period had been sold out.
There are also netizens who grab movie tickets to show off on the Internet. They have seen it and have to 2 brush it!
Not only did the attendance rate rise, but there was also a wave of hot discussion about this Chinese science fiction blockbuster on American social media.
Is the brain hole plot of wandering the earth reasonable? What are the colored eggs and defects? These topics of concern to Chinese netizens are also talked about by American netizens.
In a widely circulated screenshot of a film, sharp eyed foreign netizens picked out several mistakes in English spelling and grammatical format.
For example, missing should not be followed by s, and the initial of Siberia should be capitalized.
For such 'fault finding', some Chinese netizens sincerely responded: good eyesight, thank you for your correction.
Another American science fiction fan wrote a film review after watching "wandering the earth" for the first time, praising the bold and innovative plot and gorgeous visual effect.
But he also pointed out that there are indeed some loopholes in scientific theory in the film. " If there are basic physics mistakes in the film, it can't hide from the eyes of today's audience. For example, if the earth stops rotating, how can the atmosphere be preserved? "
When talking about his feelings, the American netizen said frankly that he was somewhat lost: why didn't Americans appear in the film? There are Russian astronauts and French speaking coalition government officials, but what about American elements? All he could see was a star spangled banner on the coffin.
The netizen couldn't help feeling: "I can finally understand how Chinese audiences feel when watching American science fiction blockbusters!"

In addition, some foreign netizens criticized that the performance of the actors in the film is relatively weak, and the behavioral motivation of the characters is also very vague. They only give explanations at the critical moment of life and death, but they will be confused before. After a brief introduction, the plot directly entered the climax. At the end of the way, it was a little aesthetic fatigue. Although it draws on the elements of many excellent science fiction films, I hope the film can have more depth in characters and plot.
Despite various Tucao, many American netizens make complaints about the "wandering earth". I suggest you must go to the cinema to see this film and enjoy a new science fiction film viewing experience. It is a milestone in Chinese films. "
Similar praise also appeared in the American media. Forbes magazine commented that the production level of the film has reached the level of Hollywood blockbusters, which is impressive. Especially near the end of the film, a large number of rescue vehicles turned at the same time, with reasonable rhythm and shocking pictures. Such works are enough to occupy a place in history.
The film critics of the New York Times believe that the film has successfully realized the reasonable fantasy of human beings meeting the vast universe. Obviously, not only the film industry, China has begun to join or even lead a new era of space exploration.
