Superstar

The success of "Death Row" cannot be replicated, not only because this work carries the essence of the acting skills of the two actors, Hugo and Susan, but also because of all the opportunities and opportunities during the six-month release time of this work. Both the situation and the situation cannot be replicated, which also makes the final result of "Death Row" more profound.

If you look at the North American movie box office alone, "Twelve Monkeys" is $89 million and "Death Row" is $83 million, the two works are completely equal. Moreover, due to the commercial film attributes of "Twelve Monkeys", especially the media's constant fanfare and bragging about the success of the film, the success of the film has been embellished with magnificent glory. Now the box office data of the two are so weak that the gap is really... it seems a bit funny. .

Strictly speaking, "Twelve Monkeys" can be called a failure in comparison with the unrepeatable success of "Death Row", and it is a weird and shameful failure. In the North American film market, Hugo’s unparalleled appeal has so far been unmatched, not to mention Brad, even Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks seem to be quite strenuous.

But this time, no one would think that "Twelve Monkeys" was a failure, not only because of the cult nature of this movie, it is already a remarkable achievement to get a box office of 89 million US dollars; but also because of this movie. The film’s global box office has created a miracle that is not big or small. Although it cannot be compared with the brilliance of "Pulp Fiction", the global box office of 200 million US dollars can not be obtained by any work; more because this film has witnessed it. Brad's birth turned out to be a witness to the formation of the triad of Hollywood baby boomers.

Compared with the historical status of "Twelve Monkeys" and the global box office performance, "Death Row" is obviously inferior.

The "Twelve Monkeys" swept the US$120 million box office overseas. Although the movie can be called a literary and sci-fi work, it is still in the category of commercial movies, so it has won a lot of applause in the overseas market. However, the "Death Row" does not have such good luck. The chain reaction during the North American release is almost a perfect combination of the right time and place, but in the overseas market this pattern does not exist at all. The originally dull and depressing "Death Row" , Can only rely on the overseas appeal of the Iron Triangle of Hugo, Susan and Tim to attract the box office.

In fact, although Susan and Tim are well-known lovers of mandarin ducks in the United States, their reputations in the international market are more limited to their professional images-that is, the identities of actors and directors, which really have the ability to drive the box office. Only Hugo is capable.

But even for Hugo, he is not an omnipotent "God". What really allows the audience to enter the cinema is the work itself. The competitiveness of Hollywood art films in overseas markets is really not the number one, not to mention the artistic soil of independent literature and art in Europe, and even art films in many Asian and South American countries are more attractive than Hollywood.

This also makes the "death prisoner walk" repeatedly blocked in overseas markets.

Of course, relying on Hugo's name, 20th Century Fox sold the distribution rights of "Death Row" to 39 countries and regions around the world. The earliest releases in Britain and Germany were already in February 1996. It can be seen the desolate treatment of this work. The only good thing is that "Death Row" is based on the Berlin Film Festival as a platform, landing in Europe, landing on the global market, and the good reviews received at the Berlin Film Festival also made the prospects of this work a lot clearer.

The most outstanding performance of "Death Row" in overseas markets is surprisingly Germany, which achieved a box office data of 13 million U.S. dollars in the local market. This is also one of the only three overseas markets where "Death Row" has a box office of over 10 million. The other two countries are France and Italy.

This result can be said to be consistent with expectations. Germany is the first overseas market for the "Death Row" to land, and the blessing of the Berlin Film Festival cannot be underestimated. More importantly, Germany's serious and cold temperament and "Death Row" It fits perfectly and has won the affirmation of the audience.

France has the Cannes Film Festival and Italy has the Venice Film Festival. This is precisely the market with the most mature development of art films on the soil of Europe. Their analysis and understanding of "Death Row" is even deeper than that of North America, and the audience is more willing. Walk into the cinema to enjoy this work.

The most surprising thing is that Mexico and Brazil actually contributed 8 million and 7 million performances respectively, and even surpassed the 6 million U.S. dollar score of the United Kingdom, which many people did not expect. However, after careful and in-depth analysis, you will find that the top four countries with the best performance in the "death prisoner walk" overseas market are all Catholic countries, and their opposition to and protests against the death penalty are also the most steadfast in the world. In this way, The outstanding performance of the film market is not so strange.

In addition, the performance of "Death Row" in other countries is not satisfactory. There are only three countries with a box office of more than 5 million movies, namely Argentina, Australia and Spain. It can be clearly felt that the overseas market is not very interested in this work. Compared with the "seven deadly sins" not long ago, it can be said that it is totally different.

Judging from the box office data alone, the performance of "Death Row" can't be compared with Hugo's other works, and it can only barely surpass "Before Sunrise". However, "Death Row" finally won 80 million US dollars in the overseas market, which still far exceeded expectations and still made Twentieth Century Fox smile.

In the case of congenital deficiencies, the "death row" can be said to rely on Hugo's strong appeal, forcibly "robbing" the box office of 80 million U.S. dollars in overseas markets. It is not easy, and it can be called a difficult victory.

However, "Death Row" is the same as "Twelve Monkeys". Their excellent reputation allows them to perform well in the subsequent video tape market. The former is to make people interested in the outstanding performance of the actors, and the latter is received. The enthusiasm of cult movie lovers has made the two films still perform well after the screening.

"Death Convict Walk" finally came out at the box office. North America has a box office of 83 million and a global box office of 163 million. This is the second-worst box office performance of the film after Hugo 1992, only higher than the experimental character dominating the protagonist. Before sunrise". But no one would say that this is a failed work, even the "New York Post" dare not say so.

With an investment of 11 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of 163 million U.S. dollars, DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox are still making a lot of money. More importantly, this box office performance is compared to " "Twelve Monkeys" did not lag far behind in the US$89 million in North America and US$209 million in the world.

Moreover, no one will forget that the cost of "twelve monkeys" is 29 million.

However, the great success of "Twelve Monkeys" on a global scale is still undeniable, and the outstanding performance of "Death Row" can only be said to have been robbed of countless light by competitors.

However, thanks to the excellent performances of Hugo and Susan in "Death Row", the prospects of this work at major award ceremonies are obviously not too weak, and the completion of the work is also more than "Twelve Monkeys". This also made the "Death Convict Walk" finally tied with the "Twelve Monkeys" in the comprehensive evaluation!

Or to be more precise, this is still a rare victory for Brad! At least this time during the simultaneous release and the simultaneous showdown, Brad has always occupied the peak of the topic. He is completely indifferent from Hugo, who has been relying on acting to win attention since August, which also highlights Brad. This time it is of great significance to gain the upper hand.

However, apart from Brad and Hugo, in addition to "Twelve Monkeys" and "Death Row", this showdown is also of great significance to Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox.

Lang Meyer has been struggling to find a breakthrough point after he quit from an international creative artist company to Universal Pictures. In the past two years, he has not been able to find a suitable breakthrough point. In the past, he achieved countless brilliant "Schindler's List". Neither "Jurassic Park" was his feat.

Until this year, the great success of "Apollo 13" and "Ghost Horse Elf" finally allowed Lang to regain his confidence. Although the terrible failure of "Future Water World" still has to be remembered on his head, "Twelve The great harvest of "Monkey" at the end of the year gave Lang Chang a sigh of relief ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ with its outstanding performance, this year was brought to an end. Especially for the latter, Lang has finally sought a breakthrough with an innovative artist agency, which is undoubtedly a huge happy event.

The same is true for Kevin Pence. After FireWire took over Twentieth Century Fox, his only masterpiece in the past two years was "True Lies." In fact, "True Lies" is not a project he developed alone, he just took over halfway through, and this work was also lost to "Life and Death Speed" that year.

This year, the 20th century Fox is still lifeless. At present, only "Die Hard 3" can talk about it-the box office of this work is only dangerous and dangerously past the 100 million threshold, but "Death Row" is not Kevin opened a door, and his cooperation with Endeavour Elite Brokerage may begin to bear fruit next year and the next year.

With ambitions, Kevin firmly believes that he has won the future. Facing the terrible situation of Fox in the 20th century, Kevin has chosen to cooperate with Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and DreamWorks, relying on the super reputation of "Death Row" , Kevin further narrowed the distance between him and Hugo, and now it is gradually approaching the moment of harvest.

Kevin's grand plan is unfolding step by step, but whether his plan can be realized or not, this seems to be another unknown, because the project called "End of the World" did not progress as smoothly as expected.
