Superstar

\"&　　 Macaulay Culkin’s actor career has come to an end.

This may be the judgment of the whole Hollywood on this gifted child. Because of the greed and insatiability of his father, known as the "Hell's Gate Dog", the major production companies have begun to hate dealing with Macaulay. Even if he is considered the most popular child star in Hollywood.

In 1994, Macaulay has three movies about to be released, and his salary in these three movies has reached as high as 8 million US dollars, which is the highest paid child star in Hollywood. But that's all, the unreasonable Macaulay, plus the money-thinning, unearned, and insatiable Culkins fighting endlessly for Macaulay’s huge fortune, plus Macaulay’s two roles last year. Both the box office and the reputation of this work are very general, so Macaulay gradually disappeared from the list of cooperation with major production companies.

After filming "Master Weiweikuo(.)\" at the beginning of the year, Macaulay has not received a new script for half a year. This has not been possible in the past two years. Macaulay’s father has not yet Aware of this, he was picking better works for his son in a wild word, but the history that Hugo knew clearly showed: This is the end of Macaulay's peak period.

Since then, Macaulay waited until 2002 before returning to the stage, but it was poisoned at that time. Obsessed with addiction, he no longer possesses the aura and cuteness of his childhood, so he is completely reduced to a third-line actor.

But that's all in the future. This year, Macaulay has two more works to be released in the second half of the year. "The Little Ghost Moves\" is only his first work in 1994, so everything looks beautiful, for The promotion of "Little Ghosts" Macaulay and his parents are very hardworking-this work has brought Macaulay 8 million dollars in salary income.

Last week, during an interview, Macaulay's father also uttered a lot of words, "Hugo's pay is only six million, he and Mike () are not on the same level at all."

Although everyone knows that Macaulay’s father, Christopher-Kit-Culkin (. ”.) is a stupid mad dog, he will be in front of the media from time to time, but this time Kitt’s remarks are clearly " The absurd remarks that were instigated by the New York Post were really ridiculous. Not only did the media fail to give the New York Post any support, they also mocked Kitt as a "frog at the bottom of the well."

When Hugo took the film "Life and Death Hour", the final remuneration was 6 million, instead of the 8 million that was initially negotiated. This was because Hugo took the initiative to reduce the remuneration for the crew to save the budget, but the box office dividend rose to twelve. A percentage point, we can also see the crew’s trust in Hugo’s box office appeal.

Only an ignorant person like Kit would think that Hugo’s salary of six million is a ridiculous figure. Strictly speaking, Hugo’s "Pulp Fiction\" film pay is even lower, only two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, but obviously Hugo and the other actors who took $250,000 are not on the same level at all.

But the "New York Post\" now has no retreat. They can only "release Kit" and let Kit bite people everywhere like a mad dog in front of the media. While despising Hugo, they also let more people. He focused his attention on the "little devil's move\". The "New York Post\" can only hope now that Macaulay, the greatest child star of the 20th century second only to Shirley-Deng Bo, can once again bloom his magic, burst out a strong box office, and complete the "speed of life and death." "The sniper.

Therefore, the "New York Post" on the one hand stimulated Kitt behind the scenes, let him speak loudly, and attracted media firepower; on the other hand, it praised the "little devil's move" and even conducted an exclusive interview with Macaulay. Promote the publicity as much as possible to ** and attract more audiences.

Unfortunately, the facts have proved that publicity is always just a means. The audience is not a fool. It is the work itself that really decides the outcome. "The Little Ghost Moves\" still continues the style of the "Home Alone\" series, but obviously the audience is no longer buying it.

Macaulay’s magical charm has been squandered in the "Home Alone" series. Last year, the two works have been exhausted. This time, "Little Ghost Moves" is a complete failure. The premiere scale of two thousand theaters, As a result, the single-library box office did not even break through three thousand. In the final premiere weekend, the box office revenue was only 5.5 million yuan, which made investors MGM Pictures and publisher Universal Pictures very bitter. "New York Post\" Even more speechless.

As for the third weekend of "Life and Death Speed", just as all the media predicted, it did not accept any challenge at all. The popular ratings of "Tonight Show" is the best proof.

"Life and Death Hour" only paid 4% of the box office loss this week, making all the media scream, "Chicago Tribune" news headline "Macauley: Dad, why don't you buy a ticket to see me The movie? \" It has become the biggest laugh this week, and Kitt's previous remarks have become the focus of ridicule by the major media.

This made Kit angrily and yelled at the media without a word, but his remarks were nothing new, and he repeated the glory of "Home Alone" over and over again, which is not worth mentioning.

Compared to Kitt, the box office drop of "Life and Death" is really worthy of such adjectives as "terrible".

A box office drop of 4%. This data is worth celebrating no matter which movie or time period it is placed in. What's more, it's even more amazing in the third week of the movie's release. No one will forget that "Life and Death Speed" last week’s weekend box office was 27 million U.S. dollars, and after deducting a 4% drop this week, it means "Life and Death Speed" this week’s weekend for three days. Take 25.9 million U.S. dollars!

In the previous week, the "New York Post\" also hoped that the box office drop of this week's "speed of life and death" could exceed 80%, and an avalanche occurred; but the professional evaluation of the media believed that the rate of decline of "speed of life and death" this week was absolutely absolute. No more than 35 percent. Now, "Life and Death Hour" used the most direct and effective box office number to hand in a perfect answer sheet!

A drop of only 4%. What does this show? It shows that the competitors did not put any pressure on the "speed of life and death" at all, whether it was the newly released "Little Ghost Move" or the ferocious "wolf" that came last week. Neither "Urban Hillbilly 2" nor "Modern Primitives" were able to cause trouble with "Speed ​​of Life and Death". On the contrary, because of the bad reputation of all newly released movies for four consecutive weeks, all audiences were swarming toward "life and death." Screening venues flooded in at an hourly rate, thus creating this incredible miracle!

In the face of such a decline, Kitt’s profanity is even more comical. "Little ghost moves\" hardly creates any impact on "life and death speed\". It seems to be papery. He has not had time for physical contact. It has been ruined. This became the most joyful comparison in the third week of June.

The box office at the premiere for three consecutive weeks has reached 20 million. This is undoubtedly the most sensational event in the North American film market. This has also become the "Jurassic Park", the second consecutive three-week weekend box office in North American film history exceeded two thousand. Wan’s work, "Life and Death Hour"’s third week weekend box office is second only to "Jurassic Park" and is currently the second in North American film history!

At this time, people discovered that the "speed of life and death" has been quietly recorded in the history of sword imaging. The premiere weekend was a blockbuster and ranked eighth in the history of filming; the box office of the next week only lags behind the "Jurassic Park", "Batman (Batman)\" and "Home Alone 2" rose to the fourth place in movie history; the box office continued to chop the waves in the third week, and only "Jurassic Park" was left in front of the box office on the weekend of the third week. Ranked runner-up in film history!

Can anyone expect such a sturdy result of "Life and Death"? No one! Not even Hugo!

At the weekend box office of 25.9 million US dollars, there was no competitor at all. "Life and death per hour\" easily completed the three consecutive North American championships! Such power is enough to make any competitor fearful. The soft persimmon, but it turned out to be a powerful masterpiece, this made all the competitors miserable. If they had known this, they would not touch this mold, but now, it is too late.

Under the pressure of "Life and Death Speed", "Wolf" broke the box office drop of 35%, barely reaching the pass line, but unfortunately the box office fell behind a little bit in the first week, and a little bit behind the next week. It has been further expanded, and the cumulative results of 37 million US dollars in two weeks made it impossible for Columbia Pictures to relax; and the box office of "Modern Primitive\" and "Urban Hillbilly 2\" also fell by as much as percent. forty.

The top five at the final box office in the third week of June were "Life and Death Hour", "Wolf", "Modern Primitive", "Urban Hillbilly\" and "Little Ghosts". According to the box office data of "Life and Death" in the same period in the third week, the performance of "Terminator 2" was over, and the box office of "Terminator 2" in the third week was only less than 15 million yuan, compared with "Life and Death" There is a big gap in speed. From here, we can see the influence of the praise of film critics and audiences on the long-term sales.

"Life and Death Hour" broke the 100 million threshold at the box office in three weeks, and stubbornly reached the 110 million US dollar position. Before that, the "New York Post" had a hardened beak and absolutely refused to admit defeat. , But the shadow of failure still came to Colin-Mayer’s head uncontrollably. They only persisted for a week, and they didn’t even wait for the powerful attack of the “Lion King” next week. They just watched “life and death”. Speed\" has crossed the 100 million U.S. dollar threshold.

With the 11% drop in the box office the next week and 4% in the third week, the "New York Post" did not have any strength to fight back. In just three weeks, it was completely defeated!

The box office gambling game has been divided, and it quickly surpassed everyone's imagination: So, what about the bet? (To be continued [provided].
