Superstar

¨The Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers”, forty-four points in the media review, and ¨c in theaters.

¨The hillbilly conquered New York", 30 points in the media review, and ¨6 in theaters.

¨The speed of life and death”, 81 points in the media review, and the theater score ¨a.

When the premiere war came to an end in the first week of June, people took this set of numbers to make a comparison, and they couldn’t help but sigh that Disney and Universal Pictures spent a lot of money on creating the sensation of the premiere. , But the result was still dragged down by the poor quality of the work, and was defeated by competitors.

On the contrary, from the beginning of the bidding to the set-up, the “speed of life and death”, which was never favored, kept a low profile, and always worked hard, was completed in a remote place like the Los Angeles Theater, which is called the “place of exile”. An incredible reversal.

Just need the two sets of data of media review and theater rating to see the outcome of the three works, but as we all know, action movies and comedy movies are popcorn movies, and this type of movie has one characteristic in common: That is, there are countless examples where the audience still cheers even though the critics are screaming, and even if the critics and the audience are swearing, there are countless examples where the box office broke out in the first week.

As long as it benefits from strong publicity and the call of actors, the box office in the first week still has huge potential, and the feedback from film critics and audiences affects the subsequent box office.

Therefore, before the box office data is released, everything is unknown. However, it is obvious that the suspense this time is not big. The film critics and the audience have maintained a consistent aesthetic, which also gives "Life and Death Speed" a huge advantage in the box office competition. But even so, the box office list was announced on Monday. At that time, countless people’s glasses were still broken, and those jaws that had been dislocated were officially declared that they would never return.

Single-library box office is 14500 U.S. dollars, 2100 theaters, three days on weekends, the box office is 304.5 million U.S. dollars

This is the first box office answer sheet handed over by "Life and Death Speed". This is the box office data for the work that created the peak of the topic in the first week of June. This is the conclusion of the first craze since the opening of the summer file in 19ql. More importantly, this is the box office revenue that a work with an investment of 28 million US dollars received after the premiere weekend after it was blocked by the media.

People speculate that "Life and Death Hour" will achieve excellent box office results, but no one expected that "Life and Death Hour" could achieve a premiere box office of 30 million. You know, this is second only to ¨Modern Primitives since 19ql. Premiere data.

What’s even more surprising is that in the history of North American film, this data can be ranked eighth, ranking ¨Jurassic Park", ¨Batman Return, ¨Modern Primitives, ¨Lethal Weapon, ¨Terminator, ¨ Home Alone, ¨Vampire zombies are scared for four hundred years"

"Modern Primitive" is a cartoon that swept the United States in the 1960s, and its influence is unparalleled. So when this cartoon was decided to become a real person, it caused heated discussions in the major media. The heroine of the movie was "flying over the future". Elizabeth B. Kings Zzhenh. Penk, the male protagonist is "Rosanne oseznn" and "Barton Fink"'s John Goodman, who invested 46 million US dollars, and targeted a wide audience of family joy and childhood memories.

Therefore, when "Modern Primitive" was released last week, it achieved a box office of 37 million U.S. dollars and detonated the entire movie market. There is no doubt that there is no problem.

But now, "Life and Death Hour" actually showed the same box office performance as "Modern Primitive", which absolutely stunned a lot of people. In a horizontal comparison, ¨The Terminator’s premiere box office was 31.8 million U.S. dollars, ¨ Die Hard’s premiere box office was 21 million, ¨The speed of life and death” is obviously on the same level as the ¨Terminator. Up

But the problem is that ¨The Terminator invested US$102 million, ¨Died harder, invested US$70 million, and ¨Life and Death Hour” invested only US$28 million.

When the premiere box office data and investment cost figures collide, people's performance when they see this set of data must be superimposed tenfold. So everyone was dumbfounded

¨ US$34.5 million? The statistics are wrong? "This is the "Los Angeles Times" headline on the entertainment page on Monday. From this slightly ridiculous question, it can be seen that almost everyone is skeptical: Isn't this a beautiful mistake?

However, afterwards, the exhibitor relations responsible for the box office statistics again confirmed that there was no error in the box office data this week. The box office for the premiere of "Life and Death Speed" was indeed 30 million.

¨The New York Post" saw this achievement even more desperate. Regardless of the final box office of the movie, just the premiere box office is enough to make Colin Tamale face disgraced.

In an instant, the phenomenon-level performance of "Life and Death Speed" detonated the entire movie market, making all the media boil. Unlike the film reviews after the film’s premiere, this time the media was even more surprised by the box office driving force of this movie. To be able to ignite such a strong box office, you know, this is a low-cost, one-ticket newcomer work, one is wrong, the movie has a big name, and is also a top actor who gradually has a superstar aura: Hugo Lan Shengsi special

Looking back at Hugo’s four works in the past two years, except for "Pulp Fiction", "Smell the Scent to Know Women", "Yihai Xiongfeng", "Seattle Sleepless", and "Schindler's List", each one All went to the brilliant box office results, and at this moment, Schindler’s list "even hopes to hit the box office of 200 million." The movie box office was released in the first week of June when it was released. The 100 million threshold, this is an achievement that surprised everyone.

Although people have been talking about Hugo's box office appeal, in fact no one in the circle really believes this statement. It is generally believed that "Yihai Xiongfeng" relies on Jack Nicholson, "Seattle Sleepless" relies on romantic love, and "Schindler's list" relies on Steven Pielberg. Strictly speaking, Hugo has not really proved that he has the so-called ¨Box office appeal."

Therefore, when Hugo took the film "Pulp Fiction", everyone was stunned, thinking that Hugo personally ruined his box office appeal, and at the same time personally ruined the possibility of a top level of 10 million films; so When Hugo took the shot "Life and Death Speed", everyone was speechless, thinking that Hugo was self-destructing his future, destroying all the good cards in his hand.

But the results proved that people’s worries were wrong. Hugo always knew exactly what he was doing. "Pulp fiction" became famous in Cannes, and he also won the first heavyweight trophy for Hugo; ¨Life and death "Speed" at the premiere weekend convinced everyone with a devastating attitude.

More importantly, "Life and Death Hour" is the real Hugo ¨Changing the Leading Role. There is no blessing from Jack Nicholson or Meggan Ryan or Steven Pierberg, and there is no release schedule. Advantages or weak competitors, without the cover of huge investment or frequent publicity, skimming all the auxiliary materials, relying solely on Hugo to turn the tide on the big screen, and at the same time pushing Hugo’s personal charm to an unprecedented level. the height of.

This also means that Hugo has embarked on the road of superstars, and his box office appeal has been verified, just like "High Aspirations" to Tom Cruise, Hugo has proved his attraction to the audience. force

From the gentle and humorous single father of "Night in Seattle", to the "Schindler's list of" cold-blooded and struggling Nazi officers, to the "life and death speed" masculine young police officer, Hugo showed his all-round charm. Shi has truly kept pace with Tom Cruise, becoming an idol representative of the younger generation.

Of course, no one will forget that Hugo is better than Tom. He not only has the box office, is charming, but also has acting skills. An Oscar statuette and a Cannes actor trophy are enough to make Hugo better on the road to superstars. Tom is more stable and firmer, maybe, there is more long-term.

The box office of the premiere of "Life and Death Speed" made the media admire Hugo's box office appeal. Although this appeal still needs time, next week "Wolf" will strike, and Hugo's appeal is spiritual. Guan Yixian is durable and will soon get the answer; but no one can deny that the North American film market in the first week of June has truly entered the Hugo rhythm.

Under the box office performance of "Life and Death Speed" of 30 million, no one can form a confrontation. In the first half of the 1990s when the box office of 10 million was enough to win, the box office of 30 million could not find a competitor. So there is no doubt that "Life and Death Hour" won the second summer box office championship of Hugo's career as an actor, and continued the dark horse performance of "Lost Sleep in Seattle" last year into this year.

At this time, people couldn’t help but become curious about whether the “Life and Death Speed” could continue the glory of “Seattle Sleepless” last year, and the “Seattle Sleepless” that was generally abandoned before its release ended at a box office of 189 million yuan last year. In the position of ten thousand dollars, it broke the historical record of romantic movies. So what will be the performance of "Life and Death Speed", which is also a dark horse this year?

In the first week of June, the North American box office rankings were completely detonated by "Life and Death Speed", while the two competitors were in a dilemma. "Heaven Soldiers" only earned US$5.55 million in three days over the weekend, which made it ambitious. The ambitious Disney beats its chest; and the "hillie conquer New York" is even worse. The $5 million in box office revenue is even a disaster for a comedy with an investment of just over 20 million ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

In fact, this week’s box office performance was even better than "Modern Primitives". In the second week of the screening, a drop of only 38% brought it 18 million US dollars in weekend box office, which tightly accounted for Tie took the runner-up position. And "Gambling Man Mahuali" entered the third week of the screening and performed very well. The weekend box office of 10 million US dollars performed well and ranked third.

¨Beverly Detective, which was released in the second week of the show, got a weekend box office of 6.5 million with a 47% drop. This sequel with an investment of 50 million US dollars has only accumulated 2800. Ten thousand dollars at the box office, the prospects are worrying.

¨Life and Death Hour, ¨Modern Primitive, ¨Gambler Mahuali, ¨Beverly Detective, ¨Heavenly Soldiers mobilization, ¨Hungryman Conquer New York, respectively occupy the top six in this week's box office rankings.

Undoubtedly, "Life and Death Speed" is the biggest winner. It is not only the work with the least investment among the top five, but also the second best work at the box office in the first week of this year, plus the brilliant premiere. , Really show off

¨The New York Post "can only look forward to the next week's ¨Wolf" confrontation.
