Because of the addition of imax3d technology, "The Hobbit 2" is more immersive for the audience. The process of watching the movie is more like following the adventures of Baggins and his gang, giving it an immersive and dreamlike feeling.
Therefore, even the original, slightly bloody love between elves and dwarves in the film has become less jarring. The audience was no longer picky because they enjoyed watching it.
As a result, "The Hobbit 2" exploded at the box office, eventually earning $950 million at the global box office. Such results are even better than "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", which is enough to satisfy Universal Pictures.

In October, Universal Pictures released the superhero comic film "Iron Man" starring Robert Downey Jr. and Cobie Smulders.
This movie is also the first movie after the launch of the Avengers, telling the birth of Iron Man.
Unlike other superheroes, Iron Man is the first superhero to reveal his identity. Other superheroes basically remain anonymous, wear helmets, and use pseudonyms to fight for justice and fight against lawlessness.
Therefore, Iron Man can enjoy his unique glory as a superhero. Unlike Spider-Man, who has saved so many people and is not profitable, he is so poor that he relies on taking photos of himself to sell them.
And no one knows his true identity, even he has to hide it from his relatives and lovers, so that Peter Parker is always bullied no matter in school, in love, or in the workplace.
So Iron Man is different. He is not only a wild and unrestrained playboy, but also an infatuated man who is dedicated to his love. He is a cynical yuppie and a very responsible superhero. The combination of these contradictory personalities makes him a very charismatic person.
Compared with the tradition of Captain America, the low-keyness of Hawkeye, the beauty of Black Widow, the arrogance of Thor and the brutality of Hulk, Iron Man is naturally more popular.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he will become the core of the Avengers.
But Xiang Nan is not ready to hand over the core to Iron Man.
Because he is already very charming, if we continue to regard him as the core and focus on building it, then the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe will revolve around him.
As a result, once the character Iron Man leaves, the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be darkened. This will greatly affect subsequent development, so Xiang Nan had to weaken the role of this character.
Just like Rodin's statue of Balzac, which had to be chopped off because his hands were too well done.
Iron Man serves the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not the Marvel Cinematic Universe serving Iron Man, so priorities must be distinguished.
…
However, even if the character's role was weakened, the "Iron Man" movie still received strong support from fans once it was released.
On the one hand, boys all have feelings for mechas. Who hasn’t played Transformers when they were young and imagined that they could put on mechas and soar into the sky?
On the one hand, girls like Robert Downey Jr., who is handsome, unrestrained and unrestrained. In terms of appearance, he can be regarded as the best in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Furthermore, the story of the prodigal son returning home in exchange for gold has always been very popular. Therefore, "Iron Man" was a box office hit, with an investment of 114 million US dollars, in exchange for a box office of 670 million US dollars.
As soon as Iron Man came out, he became the most popular superhero, and Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh at his charm.

In November, Universal Pictures released the romantic comedy "The Devil Wears Prada" to give viewers a change of mind. After all, the audience will get tired of watching superhero comic adaptations and magic and fantasy movies all the time.
"The Devil Wears Prada" tells the story of a female protagonist who, as a company executive, is busy with her career and never considers her personal feelings. She receives a notice from the Immigration Bureau that her visa is about to expire and she will be deported.
In order to keep her career, she had to fake marriage with her subordinates. But the Immigration Bureau will not let her go easily. In order to avoid being exposed by the Immigration Bureau as a fake marriage, the two were forced to return to the hero's hometown to hold the wedding.
Only after the results arrived did we find out that the male protagonist, who had always been low-key and always bullied, was actually a rich second generation. The arrival of the heroine and the hero also made this rich family excited.
So a series of ridiculous and ridiculous stories began to unfold.
The story of "The Devil Wears Prada" is actually very old-fashioned, comparable to Hollywood romance films of the 1950s and 1960s.
The male and female protagonists are happy enemies who have to be together for some reason. As a result, they dislike each other, but their love develops over time...
But as the saying goes, bridges are not afraid of the old, the most important thing is to accept it. The reason why this type of movie about enemies is so common is that the more they dislike each other, the more touching they become once they have feelings for each other.
Therefore, after "The Devil Wears Prada" was released, although it received mixed reviews and was criticized by many media as outdated, it still earned US$350 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in the past decade.
In the film, Jennifer Aniston and Ryan Reynolds form a couple. Although they are seven years apart in age, they are still loved by fans as the best screen couple of the year. They are so sweet.
…
In December, Universal Pictures released the long-awaited "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," which tells the story of Captain Jack Sparrow, Blackbeard, and Barbossa competing for the Fountain of Youth.
This movie has been in preparation since 2006. The reason why it is only released now is mainly because Johnny Depp's schedule is difficult to adjust.
With Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp has become Hollywood's top box office star, but he himself does not want to be bound by this role.
Therefore, after filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he once rejected and resisted starring in similar movies. For this reason, he made movies such as "Sweeney Todd", "Public Enemies", and "Public Enemies", each of which , the characters he plays are completely different from Captain Jack Sparrow.
After settling in for two or three years, he finally agreed to take over the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".
After all, he spends money very aggressively. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a month to hire private bodyguards and maintain private jets. It’s normal to have fun with friends and tip hundreds of thousands a night.
It cost three million yuan to organize a funeral for a friend and use cannon balls to blast out the friend's ashes in accordance with the friend's will. There are also luxury sports cars, private jets, private yachts, limited edition guitars... Just buying wine alone costs hundreds of thousands every month.
According to this squandering method, even if he can make a lot of money every day, it will be useless.
Therefore, although he really made a lot of money with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he spent it all within a few years.
This is not unusual in Hollywood.
After many celebrities become famous, they have no concept of financial management at all and spend their money unscrupulously, causing their income to be squandered quickly.
