Superstar

When "Trumen's World" landed in the North American market in the first week of June, it also landed first in the UK, Germany and France. Although as a comedy movie, the appeal of "Trumen's World" is limited, the speed of introduction in various countries and regions in overseas markets is far less than that of "Godzilla", "Clash of Heaven and Earth", and "Peerless Tribulation". However, thanks to the strong confidence of the major theaters in Hugo, the speed of "Trumen's World" in overseas markets has exceeded expectations.

However, the first week of box office performance in the three countries and regions of the United Kingdom, Germany, and France failed to explode with amazing energy. An awakening fable and black fairy tale like "Trumen's World" did not seem to be able to arouse audiences in the three countries and regions. Our enthusiasm, the box office of the premiere weekend did not exceed 10 million US dollars, although compared with their own works in these countries, they still have obvious advantages and undoubtedly won the weekend box office championship, but objectively speaking, the performance is far. It's far less than Hugo's previous works, which is surprising.

——Now, Hugo's success is not news, but failure is.

Nevertheless, "Trumen's World" still sparked a frenzy of discussion among professional film critics and news media in the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Just like the heated discussions that the film caused in the United States, the deep core and solid foundation of this film have been obtained. The praise of professionals, especially in Britain and Germany, is even more enthusiastic in discussion than in the United States.

Britain has always had an unquestionable preference for black comedies. They are always keen to show their humor amidst sarcasm, and the almost absurd performance in "Trumen's World" has made many professional film critics admirable. The deep meaning implied here is even more talked about, thinking that this is the most outstanding comedy film in the United States after Charlie Chaplin.

Germany is full of praise for the cruel reality of this black fairy tale. Many professionals think that Peter Will's bold and direct analysis of the current status of the entertainment industry is not only courageous, but also profound and sharp. In fact, the most representative commercialization of the entertainment industry is Hollywood, but the entire European film industry is being eroded by commercialization bit by bit. The Cannes Film Festival has been assimilated, the Venice Film Festival is undergoing change, and the Berlin Film Festival is Stubborn opinion seems to have fallen behind the times, so German filmmakers obviously support the issues discussed in "Trumen's World".

This wave of discussion began to spread throughout Europe. Compared with the choice of "Titanic" by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, European filmmakers have always been staunch supporters of the "L.A. Confidential". They think The essence of the movie should always be the story itself. The visual effects are only a means of supplementing and presenting the story. Works such as "Independence Day" and "Titanic" are turning the cart before the horse and are a wrong model for the development of the film industry. .

Therefore, "Trumen's World" has almost received support and support from more than half of the European film industry insiders, and its momentum has actually surpassed that of the North American continent.

After the first wave of heated discussions, controversy about free consciousness and spiritual homeland began to spread. Compared with the United States, the religious forces in continental Europe are more deeply rooted, but at the same time the thinking here is more open and diverse, so The forces on both sides burst into infinite energy and launched a fierce debate-the Europa continent, which has never been defined by a summer file, is now truly feeling the heat wave swept by the midsummer.

Under such circumstances, the box office of "Trumen's World" gradually increased. The box office of the United Kingdom, France and Germany all experienced reverse growth in the next week, ending the second week's journey with an increase, especially with the movie. The word of mouth began to spread gradually, and more and more audiences began to enter the cinema.

At this time, people discovered that they originally thought that "Trumen's World" was a non-visual effects blockbuster, and from the perspective of an awakening fable, the production level was definitely not as good as the average level in Europe; but now they have proved their idea. It is wrong. Although "Trumen's World" is permeated with a strong American style-the conservative happy family promoted in the movie is more of a typical American middle-class life, but the whole work's structure, perspective, and thought are all It is commendable.

Outstanding word-of-mouth, high enthusiasm, and controversy...This has allowed "Trumen's World" to step out of a phenomenal box office curve in the UK, France, and Germany. When the box office of the premiere did not reach 10 million US dollars, In the end, the box office actually exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars. This performance has directly approached "Independence Day", which made everyone exclaimed.

With just these three countries and regions, "Trumen's World" has successfully passed the 100 million threshold, making the first shot in the overseas film market!

In the third week of June, "Trumen's World" followed in Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, and China. Guoxiang. It was released in 16 countries and regions, including Hong Kong, and undoubtedly won the weekend box office champions in these regions. However, the subsequent "Peerless Tribulation" was released, which pulled "Trumen's World" from Malaysia. Obviously, in overseas markets, the dominance of "Trumen's World" is still inferior to that of the United States, and most importantly, it is inferior to commercial blockbuster visual effects such as "Peerless Tribulation". This is also a side view of the current development trend of the film industry.

In addition, "Trumen's World" is shown in 48 countries and regions around the world. Although it is a comedy movie without any special pictures or lines, it is a movie suitable for audiences of all ages, but what the movie discusses Profound topics and dark colors have made the film's release area slightly limited, which is much smaller than the "Peerless Tribulation" of the 67 countries and regions around the world. This is also another aspect of the global film pattern-even if Hugo leads the starring role, "Trumen's World" attracts overseas markets. Confused. The power is still inferior to commercial blockbusters like "Peerless Tribulation".

Despite this, Hugo's global box office appeal is still unique. "Trumen's World" finally won weekend box office audiences in 43 countries and regions around the world. Among them, as many as 11 regions completed the championship. ; Movies in Italy, Japan, Argentina and other six countries and regions have a cumulative box office of more than 10 million U.S. dollars, and the number of countries and regions with a total box office of more than 10 million worldwide has reached ten. This performance is better than that of any film. Commercial blockbusters are not inferior.

Finally, relying on the excellent overall performance, the global box office of "Trumen's World" reached 296 million U.S. dollars. Regrettably, it failed to cross the 300 million threshold, but this achievement still temporarily leads the 1998 so far. Overseas box office rankings, and very promising to become the year-end global box office champion this year.

The overseas box office performance cannot be regarded as the best. Previously, Hugo had three works that exceeded 300 million in overseas box office. "Independence Day", "Life and Death Hour" and "L.A. Confidential" all reached such a high level, "Trumen's World" overseas The box office performance only surpassed the "Seven Deadly Sins" of 290 million, which is indeed not the most outstanding.

But for a film of special significance such as "Trumen's World", such achievements are still impressive, especially considering the heavy thematic core of the film and the investment of 60 million US dollars, it is more thrilling and exciting. It is even more awe-inspiring to reach such a high level without the "seven deadly sins" and the elements of commercial effects being inferior to the "L.A. Confidential".

At the moment in 1998, there were only twelve works with an overseas box office exceeding the 300 million threshold, such as "Titanic", "Independence Day", "Jurassic Park", "Lion King", and "Alien e." "t", "Star Wars", "Forrest Gump", "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", "Life and Death Speed", "L.A. Confidential", "Men in Black", "Terminator 2". Now "Trumen's World" outrageously becomes the thirteenth!

Even more frightening is that in the overseas box office list, only Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" series both broke the 300 million threshold, and even the well-known "Star Wars" was not able to. At this height, Hugo alone occupied four seats! Nearly one-third of the ratio clearly shows to people that Hugo is currently uniquely strong on a global scale.

Perhaps, "Trumen's World" overseas box office is not as stunning as "L.A. Confidential"-but in fact, this is only because of people's high demands on Hugo. The overseas box office of 300 million US dollars is placed in any company, Any actor, any director, is an achievement that is definitely worth celebrating and cheering.

But anything seems to have forgotten ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just before the release of "Trumen's World", many people expressed their concerns and doubts about this comedy film, and many people looked at it with suspicion. Hugo's first challenge to comedy; but now, people are criticizing the "not good enough" at the box office of 300 million in North America and 300 million overseas. Who is this ironic, and who is it laughed at?

This outstanding achievement once again demonstrated Hugo’s powerful appeal, and at the same time allowed "Trumen's World" to reach a global box office of 624 million U.S. dollars, which is still more than "Trumen's World". "L.A. Confidential" has become Hugo's second highest grossing work in the world.

Just a year ago, "L.A. Confidential" made such a breakthrough in its sight, surpassing such outstanding works as "Speed ​​of Life and Death", "Seven Deadly Sins", and "Schindler's List", becoming Hugo's personal performance. Ergao’s works; now, "The World of Truman" has once again set such a record.

The 600 million-level global box office easily made "Trumen's World" a strong contender for the global box office title at the end of 1998. Now people are focusing on "Saving Private Ryan". Maybe Steven can. Leading this epic war masterpiece to create miracles.

The sweeping momentum, perhaps this is the most accurate description of the arrival of "Trumen's World" in the summer of 1998.
