Superstar

With the weakest box office gap in film history, regrettably passing by the five consecutive championships, the "L.A. Confidential" still has no weakening momentum. After being runner-up for two consecutive weeks, it has encountered an investment of up to 105 million. The strong crushing of the US dollar super blockbuster "Starship Team (., the limited autumn box office market quickly shrank, which caused the "L.A. Confidential" to move toward 200 million US dollars. The pace was quickly slowed down.

But at this moment, after passing the final threshold of "I know what you did last summer" and "Devil's Advocate", no one can stop the "L.A. Confidential".

In the first week of November, “L.A. Confidential” first surpassed the “Seven Deadly Sins” with a box office data of 6 million US dollars over the weekend. With a box office score of 198 million US dollars, it became the current thriller suspense movie. The film history box office record holder; in the second week of November, "L.A. Confidential" once again won the weekend box office of 4.8 million US dollars, ranking fifth in the North American weekend box office chart this week, and promoted the film in one fell swoop 'S cumulative box office has crossed the incredible 200 million threshold, and reached the position of 206 million US dollars in one go, becoming the first thriller suspense movie in film history that won 200 million US dollars at the box office!

The answer is revealed. "L.A. Confidential" successfully surpassed the "Seven Deadly Sins". This excellent work of word-of-mouth surpassed all obstacles and endured all kinds of difficulties. In the end, it relied on the strong strength of the work to achieve an incredible overtake; at the same time, "L.A. Confidential" "It also achieved the supreme dream of the "seven deadly sins" within reach, broke the 200 million shackles, and created a new history.

200 million, this is still the threshold to measure the outstanding and peak of the North American movie box office. Even if "Independence Day" pulled the North American box office record to 500 million in one go, 200 million is still the mainstream so far. As of 1997, a total of seven films in North America had broken the 300 million box office and ranked at the forefront of film history. There were only 22 works that have made 200 million. In the long film development history of nearly a century, such a number is true. It's rare.

Although after entering the 1990s, the movie box office ushered in a big explosion, rising at an incredible rate, but 200 million US dollars is still the most representative and clear benchmark.

So far, no thriller and suspense movie can rank among the 22 works.

Although thriller and suspense movies are different from horror movies, they have a wider audience and better film quality. Among them, there are many works such as "Silent Lamb" and "Fatal Temptation. Confusion" that have received Oscar nominations and even awards, but they are subject to The special subject matter, thrilling and suspenseful plot movies always lack further motivation in terms of box office pull, making the movie unable to compete with a lot of action, love, and comedy movies.

On the current box office rankings of thriller and suspense movies, "Seven Deadly Sins," "Fatal Seduction, Confusion," and "The Silent Lamb" are among the top three, with a box office of 195 million and one. One hundred and fifty-six million and one hundred and thirty million. It can be seen that the gap between the three is very obvious, and even the difficulty of breaking through the 150 million shackles is extremely huge, let alone 200 million U.S. dollars. .

The "seven deadly sins" once had the opportunity to create a new history, and the threshold of 200 million was only within reach, but unfortunately, it was still at a loss in the last moment. Of course, the box office data of 195 million US dollars is still the well-deserved number one in film history, and it was created in the cold autumn season, which shows the driving force of the "seven deadly sins" on the entire North American film market.

This is why 200 million dollars is so difficult and unattainable for a thriller and suspense movie.

Now, "L.A. Confidential" has created a new history and rewritten North American box office history. It has not only become the first thriller suspense film with a box office of more than 200 million US dollars, but also the first film history to create 200 million in the autumn file. The US dollar box office works-more than the height that the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Pulp Fiction" could not reach. This is an earth-shaking effect for the entire movie market. Both the subject matter and the schedule have completely refreshed people's fixation. Concept.

Such an experience is no stranger to Hugo.

Strictly speaking, "L.A. Confidential" is not a thriller movie, more it should be a suspense story movie, because the thriller plot in the movie is almost non-existent, and it is more based on the suspense mode of solving the case. It can be called a model of the story movie. However, in the classification of the exhibition relationship, it is still divided into the category of thriller and suspense movies, and belongs to the same type of work as the "seven deadly sins". Thus, history was born!

Two years ago, the "seven deadly sins" turned out to break the pattern of the North American box office market; two years later, "L.A. Confidential" once again made a strong push to completely reshuffle the North American box office market pattern, and horrified suspenseful themes. Feature films have received unprecedented attention, and the planning of the autumn archives has officially embarked on the conference table of major film production companies. It is conceivable that in the history of movie development, there will be a different style.

This is not the first time that Hugo has appeared at a historical turning point. "Pulp fiction" opened the way to the rise of independent films, "Independence Day" tapped the new potential of the box office market, and "Seven Deadly Sins" changed the downturn in the fall season. Malaise, and now "L.A. Confidential" has come out, which further promotes the advancement of the film industry.

In fact, "L.A. Confidential" broke through 200 million U.S. dollars at the box office, which is also a new record for Hugo, because this is his fourth personal work with a box office of over 200 million—following "Schindler's List", " The fourth 200 million box office after "Life and Death" and "Independence Day" enabled him to tie Harrison Ford and become the second actor in film history with four 200 million works.

Harrison-Ford's creation of this historical brilliance relies on two series of movies, "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones", which are also the two greatest works of Harrison's actor career so far, two series of six works have contributed Four with a box office of 200 million US dollars, and two with a box office of nearly 200 million US dollars, this also makes Harrison the most appealing and decent hero in the American market.

If you just talk about the brilliant box office, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger are far from being compared with Harrison, or even qualified for comparison. Only Tom Hanks, relying on the "Back to the Future" and "Forrest Gump" works-the box office both exceeded 200 million US dollars, can barely qualify.

Now, there is finally an actor who can rival Harrison in the North American market: Hugo Lancaster. It can even be said that Hugo has now surpassed Harrison, because he is not relying on the loyal audience of the series of films, because his 200 million US dollars works are all appearing in a history-breaking posture, because an "Independence Day" has been completely Changed the history of North American film.

Hugo has irreplaceable works for the history of North American films in the 1990s. In terms of box office alone, he has contributed eight works with a box office of over 100 million, and all of these eight works have a box office of 170 million. The above, even using "unbelievable" to describe it can not accurately express Hugo's strong box office appeal.

Among the eleven works that Hugo took after the Golden Raspberry Award, only three did not exceed 100 million at the box office. They were "Scent of a Woman"-witnessing Al Pacino's summit. "Before Sunrise"-witnessed the shining debut of screenwriter Hugo, "Death Row"-witnessed Hugo's first Oscar actor, the Golden Man.

It can be said that the great success of "L.A. Confidential" is indeed another intensive stroke in Hugo's honor book. More importantly, this is the first time Hugo has joined as a producer. Into the production of the entire movie. This also proves that Hugo's "golden hands" really exists, not only as an actor, but not only as a screenwriter, but also as a producer.

Hugo's insight was once again recognized by people. In an instant, the "perfectness" in the midst of intensive shooting became hot, and many people began to regret: Why are they not as bold as Sony Columbia Pictures?

Even though people are used to Hugo's record-breaking pace~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the "L.A. Confidential" still attracted a lot of exclamation.
