Superstar

In the third week of June, the highly anticipated "X-Files: Conquering the Future" took the lead. With the box office data of more than 11,000 U.S. dollars in a single library, it broke the score of 30 million U.S. dollars, and achieved a good start.

The US$30 million premiere weekend box office can’t be said to be outstanding. Compared with the 40 million-level data of the three previous weekend championship works in this summer file, this result is slightly inferior; and it has not been able to further climb to the third. The level of 15 million will increase the competitiveness of the film in the box office confrontation this week. However, this box office data has reached the expectations of Fox and the media in the twentieth century, making the shortcomings predicted by the media come as scheduled.

In fact, the media review of "X-Files: Conquering the Future" is only sixty points, barely reaching a pass in praise and criticism, but the theater score has reached "b", showing that the audience is positive about the film. Attitude.

This is also in line with the media's prediction before the movie is released. As a work derived from a TV series, the support of the audience will become the biggest weapon of the movie. The audience gave a "b" evaluation, which also means that the movie will be able to do more at the box office, and the follow-up performance is worth looking forward to.

The box office data of 30 million U.S. dollars, compared to the previous "Super Perfect Murder", "Six Days and Seven Nights" and other works performed better, then this result is enough to beat the third week of the release of "Trumen's The world?

First of all, "X-Files: Conquering the Future" won a direct confrontation with "Mulan".

After the release of "Mulan", word-of-mouth did not reach the height of the works of "The Lion King", "Beauty and the Beast", and "Aladdin". The media review only scored 71 points, which is in line with the expected results. The gap. However, considering the large number of Chinese elements in the movie, it is far from the Western aesthetics, especially in 1998, the United States has very limited understanding of Eastern culture, so it is very rare for the media review of "Mulan" to achieve such results. . Among them, several authoritative film critics represented by Roger Ebert gave the film a high score of ninety points, which shows the quality of this work.

Due to this difference in aesthetic concepts, the box office impact of "Mulan" during the premiere weekend was also weaker than expected. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it achieved a box office of 23 million U.S. dollars. The box office of the museum is only less than eight thousand dollars, which is far below Disney's expectations.

However, Disney animations have always been known for their long-term perspectives, and the box office pulling power after the front line has been stretched can often explode with amazing energy. Coupled with the theater score reaching "b+", it can be seen that the audience's evaluation of the movie is still higher than expected. , This also gives people a reason to give the movie's box office endurance more expectations.

The competition between "X-Files: Conquering the Future" and "Mulan" was within expectations, but unexpected, but overall, it still met the expectations of the media. In particular, these two works have jointly won more than 50 million U.S. dollars in the box office, and they have almost occupied half of the entire North American box office market. The room left for "Trumen's World" is very limited.

"Trumen's World" continues to advance amid the frenzy of social conferences. Paramount added another 50 venues this week to meet the enthusiastic expectations of the audience. Quietly, "Trumen's World" has become the largest film released this week. It occupies such a high level as a comedy movie, which is also a rare sight in the summer archive.

Paramount’s rhythmic pace of expansion proved to be not a loss of reason, but a gospel to the audience—"Trumen's World" only surrendered a 20% drop in the third week of its release and swept through three days on weekends. Box office data of $30.4 million!

$30.4 million!

The box office exceeded 30 million for three consecutive weeks. Unconsciously, "Trumen's World" has actually become the third film in film history to achieve such a result-the first two works are "Titanic" and "Independence" day". Who can think of this?

People have imagined that it might be "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", maybe "Godzilla", or maybe "Saving Private Ryan", which will be released next month, but no one thinks it will. It is "Trumen's World". It's not that people don't have confidence in Hugo, but that it is too difficult for a comedy movie to reach such a height-difficult to reach the sky.

But now, "Trumen's World" is constantly accumulating momentum with a stance of sweeping the army, and it has the potential to further challenge the market dominance of science fiction movies, action movies or disaster movies. The drop in the box office at the guard level has created a weekend box office at the guard level, and has written a new history at the guard level. "Trumen's World" is entering the hall of glory one step at a time!

Last year, "L.A. Confidential" actually made such a history. At that time, the glory of "Independence Day" was over, the glory of "Titanic" had not yet arrived, and "L.A. Confidential" carried the traditional retro The banner of the movie makes people deeply believe that: the commercial blockbuster of visual effects has not truly occupied the mainstream of the market, and works with story-first, precise layout and delicate characters are still the essence of movie art.

Now, "Trumen's World" is at a completely different point in time, facing a completely different pattern and environment, but has achieved even more incredible results than "L.A. Confidential", with a box office of more than 30 million for three consecutive weeks. Not only did "Trumen's World" become one of the only three films in the history of film that created such a record, but it also made "Trumen's World" stand shoulder to shoulder with "Independence Day" and "Titanic". The ground stood on the same horizontal line.

Although purely from the box office comparison, "Trumen's World" is still somewhat different from the two commercial films. It is difficult for this work to reach the level of 400 million in the end, but compared with the box office data, "Trumen's World" "The World of Truman" has the ability to pull at the box office, but it is on par with the record holders of the two film history.

With the judgment of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, "Trumen's World" once again brought the script-first, role-first, and core-first works to the extreme. It not only triggered a wave of social controversy, but also let People once again clearly realize that: the commercial blockbuster of visual effects has inevitably arrived, but the wonderful movies that are really made with heart can still occupy a place in the market, not only the film critics, but the audience is also very happy to join in.

As a meaningful and realistic black fairy tale comedy, the achievements of "Trumen's World" in June 1998 were far beyond imagination.

The weekend box office performance of more than 30 million U.S. dollars for three consecutive weeks brought the cumulative box office of "Trumen's World" to 150 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop. Judging from the decline curve of the previous three weeks, the film’s 200 million box office has no Doubt, all the media have begun to cheer-not for Hugo, but for the revival and rise of comedy films.

Following the strong rise of Kim Carey, "Trumen's World" has pushed comedy movies to a whole new level, allowing people to once again feel the powerful influence of comedy movies at their peak - not just as a carrier for making people laugh At the same time, it has become a way to refract reality and satirize history. However, with the invasion of commercial factors, comedy movies have lost their original charm bit by bit and gradually faded.

Now, people have seen the excitement of comedy at the peak of "Trumen's World" again!

No amount of praise is given to "Trumen's World", but people are more curious about who is the box office this week in "Trumen's World" and "X-Files: Conquering the Future" champion?

In fact, judging from the box office data, the weekend box office of the two films is 30 million U.S. dollars. This makes it impossible for the participation relationship to draw conclusions directly from the estimated box office. You can only wait patiently until the end of the real-time box office statistics on Monday. , Make judgments, such fierce and hot competition is rare at any moment.

The box office of the premiere weekend of "X-Files: Conquering the Future" was $30.14 million, and the box office of the third week of "Trumen's World" was $30.41 million. This also means that "Trumen's World" once again won the top spot of the North American weekend box office rankings with a slight advantage of less than 270,000 US dollars!

Three consecutive!

"Trumen's World" narrowly defeated "X-Files: Conquering the Future" and became the first work to complete three consecutive championships since the summer of 1998. It achieved what "Clash of Heaven and Earth" and "Godzilla" could not achieve. Achievements, and in the face of the joint impact of two powerful opponents, they achieved renewal with a slight advantage, which made the footsteps of "Trumen's World" making history more and more solid and stronger!

These three works jointly contributed The box office accounted for 70% of the total box office this week.

At least Sony Columbia Pictures doesn't need to worry about not being able to recover the book costs.

In the three weeks since its release, "Trumen's World" has shown strong dominance. The championship for three consecutive weeks is almost unmatched. For a work with an investment of only 60 million US dollars, it is simply incredible—— And it's still a comedy work, such a strong performance makes people have to admire, once again showing Hugo Lancaster's strong dominance over the box office market.

Even in the summer season with thousands of horses, the opponents that can impact Hugo are very limited; even for comedy movies with weak competitiveness, Hugo's appeal to audiences is still unparalleled; even in the commercial blockbuster of visual effects In the case of powerful enemies ring feeding, Hugo works are still the first choice of all audiences!
