Chapter 2014 2014 The trend of crushing

The 45 million dollar premiere box office can rank second in Hugo's historical personal box office results, just lagging behind "Independence Day", exceeding the "speed of life and death", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Los Angeles City Secret". Such outstanding results prove to everyone together: Hugo's box office appeal in the summer season is incomparable!

Especially compared with the $60 million investment of "Trumen's World", this premiere data is even more outstanding. Although this is only the first week of the movie's release, from the media and the audience's reputation feedback, it can be seen that there is no problem with the profitability of this work. The key point is how much profit can it make. Can the box office of "Trumen's World" ultimately exceed the "Seven Deadly Sins" and cross the threshold of 200 million? Can it exceed the "Los Angeles City Secret" record and hit 300 million?

This is the topic that people are most concerned about, and it is also people's confidence in Hugo's box office appeal.

Faced with the strength of the "Trumen's World", the "super perfect murder case" is not outdone. The large-scale release of three thousand theaters far exceeded the scale of competitors, becoming the largest work screened in the first week of June, demonstrating the strong confidence of Warner Bros.

From screening theaters to promotional momentum, from topic rendering to attention, it can be said that Warner Bros. almost all resources have been concentrated on the "super perfect murder case". Relatively speaking, "The World of Truman" three weeks before the release of "Truman's World" was also a work produced by Paramount himself. Since Paramount's deviation in the performance of Paramount's "Truman's World" was not Paramount's fault, the disaster movie itself was highly anticipated after "Independence Day". In addition, the frenzy of "Titanic" was triggered, and the box office driving force of science fiction disaster movies in the summer season was higher than that of comedy movies, so Paramount almost focused most of its power on the "The World of Truman", which is understandable.

Therefore, "Super Perfect Murder" can almost be said to occupy the right time and place. Even if people are still optimistic about "Trumen's World" winning the weekend box office championship in the first week of June, the potential of "Super Perfect Murder" cannot be underestimated. But the fact is that the final box office results of the "Super Perfect Murder" are still unsatisfactory, not only are they unsatisfactory, but even are disappointing.

The appeal of Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow's joint efforts is not worth mentioning in front of the name "Hugo Lancaster". It's just like paper. Even with countless power, the final box office result of the premiere weekend was only 16 million US dollars. Such box office data was not only completely defeated by "Trumen's World", but even for oneself, this result is not excellent.

Losing box office, losing reputation, losing face, and losing inner self.

People have expected such an ending. The "Super Perfect Murder" could not launch an effective attack on "Truman's World". Hugo's halo will still cause the audience in the first week of June to frantically pour into the venues of "Truman's World" and form a strong suppression of the "Super Perfect Murder". But even the "Los Angeles Times" did not expect that the final victory of "Truman's World" would be so refreshing, and the "Super Perfect Murder" actually ushered in a fragile defeat, as if the powerful publicity momentum and the huge cast were vulnerable.

The overwhelming crumble is almost shocking!

There is no comparison between 16 million and 45 million. It seems that a movie that has been released for three weeks is facing the work that premiered this week. "Trueman's World" completely exploded the "super perfect murder case" with a crushing attitude, and its absolutely strong performance caused a burst of exclamations.

In the face of such a bad result of "Super Perfect Murder", the media did not even mention the movie. Even the gossip between Gwyneth and Hugo was distracted, as if it was just a tasteless and deliberate hype. The reporters all knew that Hugo would not have any interest in these news. Therefore, Gwyneth's complaints about Hugo at the premiere were like a grain of sand falling into the sea, with a little ripples, and without even a splash, it disappeared in a blink of an eye. Is this a good thing for Gwyneth? Or a bad thing?

Compared with the gossip news about "Super Perfect Murder", the excellent performance of "Trumen's World" in creating history is the more worthy of discussion. Almost everyone is lamenting the new box office record of comedy movies, and almost everyone is praising Hugo for writing history again.

In the head-on battle between the two movies released on the same day, "Trumen's World" and "Super Perfect Murder" were undoubtedly shocking and the former won and ended.

Another focus this week is the collision between Hugo and Roland Emmerich. "Godzilla" has reached its third week of release this week. The cumulative box office reached 99 million US dollars in the previous two weeks. This week, the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars before Friday, but the box office trend of the movie was not optimistic. The box office fell by 59% the next week, which is definitely not good news for the investment cost of 130 million. The decline of "Godzilla" this week will determine whether the movie can still retain the hope of hitting 150 million US dollars in the North American box office.

It can be said that this week is crucial for "Godzilla". It is almost impossible for Sony Columbia Pictures to rely on the North American box office to achieve profitability, but at least it is guaranteed that the North American box office can exceed the book cost, and then rely on the overseas box office to achieve the ultimate goal of profitability, which is also what Sony Columbia Pictures urgently hopes.

Therefore, how many box offices will be snatched by the "Trumen's World" and how much pressure will it bring to "Godzilla", and what kind of answers will Hugo and Roland, the two heroes who jointly created the "Independence Day" miracle, deliver? These are all very anticipated topics.

Now, the answer is revealed.

The 45 million dollar premiere box office of "Truman's World" has had an impact on the entire film market. This week, the box office generated by twenty North American movies was only 88 million US dollars, while the 'Truman's World' film accounted for more than 50%, and all other movies were inevitably squeezed.

In the end, "Godzilla" fell by as much as 47% this week. Except for several works that were released for more than one month, this is the largest decline this week. It can be clearly felt that "Godzilla" was most affected. On the one hand, it is the strong momentum of "Trumen's World", which further promoted the audience to choose the former when choosing between Hugo and Roland; on the other hand, it is also "Godzilla" who is trapped by its own quality and cannot attract more audiences.

Just the third week of the release of "Godzilla", the weekend box office has dropped below 10 million, and it only earned 9.7 million in three days, driving the cumulative box office of the movie to $114 million. This is undoubtedly a bad news, marking the complete shatter of the movie's hope of hitting $150 million, and even the cost line of $130 million is in danger.

Hugo and Roland are in a showdown. Hugo wins!

This is also the result that everyone expected. When Independence Day achieved a box office record that broke history, most of the credit was placed under Hugo. Compared with the great director Roland, Hugo, as the number one male lead, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor. And this time, the same is true for this time. The confrontation between "Godzilla" and "Trumen's World" was not considered a confrontation. The former suffered heavy losses and the latter's writing history ended.

In the first week of June, North American weekend box office rankings, "Trumen's World", "Super Perfect Murder", and "Godzilla" ranked in the top three respectively, but almost all the focus was on the champion, not only because this is Hugo's work, but also because of the 45 million US dollars in championship record, it also set a new historical record for comedy movies, but also because the movie itself has become the carrier of the biggest focus in the past two years!

There is no doubt that the emergence of "Trumen's World" has ignited a fanatical wave of this summer. Under the cover of the 45 million US dollars premiere box office, the discussion about this movie is becoming more and more popular. Not only film critics, but more audiences have also joined the discussion. Thanks to the "Trumen's World" presenting those profound and obscure topics in a simple and easy-to-understand way like black fairy tales, allowing the audience to easily understand and generate more understanding.

With the full release of the movie, the theater scores dropped from "a+" to "a". Although the scores have declined, it is obvious that the decline is very limited. With the increase in samples, "Trumen's World" still received support and praise from the majority of audiences. Such performance is also in line with the media's comprehensive reviews and premiere box office, which has truly pushed such a comedy movie to the peak of history.

As a comedy movie, the reflection frenzy caused by "Trumen's World" is far beyond imagination and even deeper than many plot movies. Roger Ebert compared this movie with "Forrest Gump" for a reason.

Now, after the box office explosion at the premiere weekend, the discussion has become more and more complicated, more and more passionate, more profound, and more high-end. In the absence of the Internet as a platform for making speeches, countless viewers have begun to contribute to major newspapers and magazines, eager to find a partner to share their views.
