With the attention of "Twelve Monkeys" far lower than their competitors, relying on the strong crowds, as well as the gimmick of Hugo and Brad head-on competition, broke the incredible results of a single hall box office of 60,000 US dollars. , It can be said to be a great victory at any time.

But even so, "Death Row" still detonated more powerful energy. Under the disadvantages of landmarks, commercials vs. literature and art, and mainstream vs. independence, relying on the astonishing popularity of fans during the weekend, it directly handed over seven. The single-library box office of US$10,000 has caused an uproar in North America.

Everyone knows that "Death Convict Walk" only has twelve screens in the landmark theater, and the number of screens of "Twelve Monkeys" is more than twice that of the opponent. This means that the starting lines of the two are completely different, but it is under such circumstances that the "Death Row" has exploded with an astonishing single-library box office with a devastating posture.

Seventy-two thousand dollars, which means that starting from 7 o’clock on Friday morning, in the next 72 hours, almost twelve screens will rotate without any stop, and the attendance rate is almost equal to 100%. Only to be able to reach this data. In other words, during the "Death Row" screening period, every scene was full of seats. The surging crowd made this movie completely hard to find. Such a grand occasion, even for the current box office record holder "Sinde". Le’s list" also failed.

It can be said that under many unfavorable conditions, "Death Convict Walk" used the equipment it possessed to the extreme, and finally handed over the perfect single-library box office data of $72,000, exerting its advantages to the limit, which also completely detonated. This is a close matchup!

"Death Row"'s single-library box office data of 72,000 US dollars easily made history, second only to "Schindler's List" and "Edward Scissorhands", ranking third in film history; it was originally thought to be occupied. The "Twelve Monkeys" in this position regrettably ranked fourth.

Hugo once again embarked on a journey with a powerful sprint. A work with heavy topics and gloomy atmosphere like "Death Row" has become a hot topic thanks to Hugo's wonderful performance, which has continued since the "Wear Since "Scent of Women", Hugo's works have always been strong, including "Before Sunrise", which performed slightly inferior at the box office. The completion and quality of Hugo's works are well-known.

While the single box office of "Death Row" broke a series of records, it also made people deeply feel the powerful appeal of Hugo, which is a cash cow that almost everyone is greedy. Of course, let alone the peak of the topic caused by the "death row", it can be said that even in the annals of the history of entertainment development and cultural development, Hugo has left his own indelible footprints.

Seventy-two thousand dollars versus sixty thousand dollars, facing the menacing "twelve monkeys", "Death Row" responded with an absolutely strong posture, and opened up on such trivial numbers at the box office of the single library. With a gap of 12,000 US dollars, the outstanding performance has caused the media to lose language. "U.S. Weekly" used three exclamation marks as the headline to report on the outcome of the matchup, and it was reported in the report. Exclaimed, "Such a wonderful matchup is amazing, and the real benefit is the audience who can enjoy such a wonderful work and such a fierce matchup!"

The victory of "Death Row" is undoubtedly great, but this time the situation is somewhat special.

Although it is said that the box office of "Death Row" beats the "Twelve Monkeys", and the gap between the two is not small, no one will say that the "Twelve Monkeys" is a failure. There is no doubt. There were no losers this time, and both works announced their shining debut with unparalleled momentum. Whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, the two can be said to be comparable, thin ice battles.

From a topical point of view, "Death Row" once again created a miracle. Such a congenital inadequate movie actually caused such a wave, especially Roger Ebert used the phrase "epic acting" to send Hugo to Hugo. High praise, this also makes the movie burst out with incredible energy. According to common sense, the box office of "Death Convict Walk" has passed 30,000 yuan and it can be said to be a victory, but now the film has delivered twice the answer sheet, which is completely bursting with energy.

Coupled with the huge momentum of the screening and the death penalty discussion triggered by the movie, not to mention the obvious victory in the box office data of the single library, "Death Row" is undoubtedly dominant in the topic.

But from the perspective of surprise, the "twelve monkeys" easily prevailed. Compared with another victory of the ever-victorious general Hugo, Brad’s stunning performance and the quality of the finished product are unexpectedly outstanding. This is a huge surprise, and the excitement and depth of the work far exceeded expectations. Even if it cannot be compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins", this is undoubtedly an excellent work.

The single-library box office of 60,000 can be regarded as a huge success regardless of the angle of discussion. For the cult-style commercial film of Swordsman and Pianfeng, the critics and audience feedback of "Twelve Monkeys" can be said to be a big success. Get a complete victory.

This pattern made the media all excited. This is the real showdown. Compared with the previous confrontation between "Pulp Fiction" and "Interview with the Vampire" and "Seven Deadly Sins", this kind of strength is close and not the same. Fen Xuanzhen's duel was undoubtedly much more exciting, and the unpredictable results also made people excited.

More importantly, the supporters of Hugo and Brad's, the responders of "Death Row" and the fans of "Twelve Monkeys", all flocked to the cinema to express the work with practical actions. With support, this also makes the North American film market in December present a rare and lively scene.

This can be said to be a win-win situation for all parties! The theaters are smiling, the film companies are full of joy, the media is very lively...Even the people involved have benefited a lot from the topical nature of the work.

In the third week of December, North America ushered in the rare hustle and bustle that has not been seen for a long time. The top three "Game of the Brave", "Toy Story" and "The Wire of Fire" are overwhelming. The 12th "Death Row" "And the "Twelve Monkeys" in the thirteenth place are full of topics and lively, and the entire North American market has rebounded by 20%. All of this indicates that the Christmas holiday is approaching and the movie market is ushered again. Craze.

The head-on confrontation between "Death Row" and "Twelve Monkeys" created countless topics, which made the major news media happy. The news about this incredible confrontation was reported from Monday to Thursday. Reported from all angles.

Among them, the media supporting Brad easily took the upper hand-the uncrowned kings have waited for this day for too long, too long, Brad finally dedicated a work that can compete with Hugo, not only Brad, even The uncrowned kings are about to stand and cheer. Not only are they waiting for the opportunity to suppress Hugo, they are also looking forward to the emergence of more people to challenge Hugo's current hegemony, so that they can get more breathing space. For the desire for "twelve monkeys", the uncrowned kings are definitely not inferior to Brad.

The most exaggerated "USA Today" even cheered, "This is undoubtedly the most successful work of Brad's career!" That report has also become a joke among industry insiders: not to mention that it is still sweeping on the list. "Seven Deadly Sins", even last year's "Interview with Vampires" was better than "Twelve Monkeys". Even if you want to cheer, you can at least wait until the box office of this work exceeds 100 million before you shout. What's more, "Twelve Monkeys" Librard is just a supporting role.

Behind this cheer, is it not the media's oppressive and bitter psychology that is reflected?

Although the confrontation in the third week of December caused countless people to boil, the situation was completely different in the week that followed.

As stated before the movie was released, "Twelve Monkeys" was aimed at the box office from the beginning, and "Death Row" has maintained a calm view of the box office until now. This is the nature of the two films. Decided.

Therefore, Universal Pictures saw the box office of "Twelve Monkeys" that was so outstanding that it was speechless, and immediately expanded the show in the next week-the original plan was only to expand in 1,300 theaters. It was screened at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but was encouraged by the excellent performance of the premiere weekend, Ron Meyer ran around immediately, he insisted on increasing the expansion theaters the following week to 1,550, which shows that They are looking forward to this work.

Relatively speaking, the "death prisoner's walk" seems to be calm and unhurried. The scale of the show has expanded from three theaters to ten theaters, of which seven are in Los Angeles and three are in New York. This has once again attracted people’s dissatisfaction and complaints: the ten cinemas can’t meet the viewing needs of the broad audience, which also makes the tickets for "Death Row" even more heated, even in the second week, Friday. At the gate of the landmark theater, there were still fans waiting in tents, and the scene was truly spectacular.

It is worth mentioning that the landmark theaters have earned a lot of exposure during the release of "Death Row". As an art theater, their reputation has also been greatly improved.

Due to the completely different screening scales of the two films, there is no horizontal comparison of the box office of a single library, and it is impossible to compare the total box office on a horizontal line. But even so, people still can't help but pay attention to the box office performance of these two works, and then measure the performance of these two works from an unfair perspective. As a result, a very interesting situation appeared, "Death Row" and "Ten "Two Monkeys" unexpectedly once again appeared in a match of thin ice, which also made the confrontation between Hugo and Brad really start to be exciting.
