Chapter 156: Premiere box office

The enthusiasm of the first batch of comments, the excitement of the first day's screening, and the madness of the first containment seem to herald the bright prospects of "Yihai Xiongfeng" at the box office.

The next day, Hugo was blocked by more than a hundred movie fans on the front page of "USA Today". Such a lively first-day screening scene became the most prosperous scene on the weekend of the second week of December. This is also unexpected by most media. After all, the holiday seasons composed of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are more competitive in the box office. Most of them are family-friendly holiday films, and "Yihai Xiongfeng" can Not a holiday masterpiece.

Facing the grand opening day of "Yihai Xiongfeng", the authoritative film industry magazine "Hollywood Report" published its own opinions in the film reviews on the film.

"There is no doubt that'Yihai Xiongfeng' is a movie belonging to Hugo-Lancaster. Even Jack Nicholson's brilliant performance cannot surpass Lancaster's style.

Having experienced the brilliance of the "Death Poetry Society" and the slump of the "Hudson Eagle", Hugo relied on the "fine" performance of the "scented scent to recognize the female" person a month ago. In the sight of people, and this time the performance of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is even more praiseworthy. It not only announces the end of Hugo's three-year slump, but also exudes a dazzling light in acting. And also promoted Hugo to the position of popular idol in one fell swoop.

Lancaster, 25 years old this year, has never been able to deny his handsomeness, and his talent in acting also has many shining points, but it was not until the recent two consecutive outstanding works that Lancaster came out. The special charm is blooming in the true sense.

He has sharp edges and corners, firm eyebrows, and free and unrestrained; he is humorous, has a sunny smile, and picturesque eyebrows; his slightly raised eyebrows, neat and bright teeth; his toned waist, and a sassy and heroic gesture on the court. Everything about this made countless'females' blushing and shaking their minds, and they couldn't be self-sustaining.

Wearing a uniform that is “very” heroic and military, talking in court, what kind of “precision” is the “lip” of the heavyweight opponent; a fledgling lawyer who challenges the shady and cruel military regulations What kind of courage is it to work with a high-ranking military officer with outstanding merit and finally bring him to justice; from cynicism to full enlightenment, the great pressure of the future and the tremendous pressure of life is a kind of unwillingness to hesitate; there is courage and strategy , There are fictitious and real, interlocking, step by step to force a arrogant colonel, under his anger, take the initiative to admit in the court the truth that has been buried forever under the corpse of innocent people, and What kind of wisdom is it.

It is not so much that "Yihai Xiongfeng" has made Lancaster, it is better to say that Lancaster's Daniel Kaffee has made "Yihai Xiongfeng". His every move makes this movie exudes the charm of "fascinating" people. Conquered the audience, but also conquered movie fans.

As the "Hollywood Report" said, if "Smell the fragrance and meet the'woman'" is not a movie that shows Hugo's charm, then "Yihai Xiongfeng" fully expresses Hugo's personal charm. The reaction of the young women represented by Melerin can be seen that Hugo became the most watched man in December by relying on this movie, shaking the hearts of countless women.

"Yihai Xiongfeng" was not originally a fan-pop movie, but Daniel Keffi played by Hugo has succeeded in attracting the love of countless fans. After setting the stage for "scenting and knowing women", Hugo thoroughly The'gloom' of the Golden Raspberry Awards was wiped out, ushering in the first pinnacle in the true sense of Hugo's career as an actor!

The compliments of the comments and the cheers of the fans, condensing the energy from the box office, let Hugo enjoy the treatment he has not been able to get since 1982.

On the second weekend of December, in addition to the two new works that will be screened, "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Muppet Christmas Carol (the.muppet...car01 are two works that will be released on a large scale this week. Needless to say the former, the latter is starred by Michael Kane (Chael.) in the 1986 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Although it only invests 12 million US dollars, it is adapted from Charles Dickens (Charles.). The Christmas productions and the scale of the 2100 theaters shows the confidence of its production and distribution company Disney. Therefore, the two premiere films are bound to have a battle.

In addition, "Home Alone 2", which has won the championship for three consecutive weeks, has continued unabated. The topical work "Bodyguard", which was released for two weeks, still has the power. The three weeks have been raging, which also makes this week's box office competition extremely'aggressive'.

In the previous predictions of major media, it is generally believed that "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Muppet Christmas Carol" will have a fierce fight, and the possibility of "Home Alone 2" winning four consecutive championships "sex" still exists. "Bodyguard" and "Aladdin" are two dark horses. There is no doubt that this week's champion will be born among the top five, but the media have their own opinions on who is going to win.

However, after the movie was released, the super high quality of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and its strong appeal to the audience surprised the media. In the end, the "Yihai Xiongfeng" screened in 1,900 theaters unexpectedly broke out in a single library. With a sturdy performance of US$15,000 at the box office, it grabbed US$28.5 million in the box office during the premiere weekend and easily defeated a lot of competitors to win the North American box office ranking this week. This is really true. Let the whole city of angels be covered with fragments of glasses.

The premiere score of 28.5 million US dollars, although not able to surpass the premiere data of "Home Alone 2", nor can it cross the 30 million threshold, but it was second only to the whole year of 1992. The four films "Batman Returns", "Home Alone 2", "Fatal Weapon 3", and "Four Hundred Years of Vampire Zombie..." These four films ranked fifth in the box office premiere this year. The top four works, three This is a sequel movie, and one is produced by the much-anticipated Francis-Ford-Ko's "Bo". The victory of the premiere data is almost no suspense. In this comparison, the premiere data of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is getting more and more. It seemed incredible.

Before the movie was released, whether it was the official forecast of Columbia Pictures or the professional forecasts of major media, the most daring guess on the box office data of the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" was only 15 million U.S. dollars, not only because of many The media questioned the quality of the film or Hugo’s leading starring role, and because this is a serious court-themed movie, it is not so easy to get a harvest from the premiere data—not to mention. The crew also lost Tom Cruise, the box office star.

But who would have expected that such amazing energy broke out in the first week of "Yihai Xiongfeng", which not only shattered everyone's speculation, but also became the first single-week box office of Hugo's actor career to exceed 10 million'doors. The work of'Threshold, this is really a result that makes people caught off guard.

In the face of the strong performance of "Yihai Xiongfeng", not only were the media shouted in exclamation, they sang praises for Hugo, praising Hugo for reaching his first peak in ten years since his debut, and truly among the ranks of first-line stars; competition The opponents are even worse.

Except for "Yihai Xiongfeng" this week, none of the works had a weekend box office of over 10 million. "Home Alone 2", "Bodyguard", and "Aladdin" were caught in a fierce competition. They are in the second to fourth place in the box office rankings, and the gap between them is no more than half a million US dollars, which shows that the competition is fierce.

As for the "Muppet Christmas Carol", in high hopes, the 2100 cinema chains only contributed 5 million US dollars in the box office, which is really disappointing. Although compared to its 12 million investment, this The premiere data is still acceptable, but as one of the witnesses of the emergence of "Yihai Xiongfeng", it is difficult for Disney to'show' a smile on the box office performance of "Muppet Christmas Carol".

It is worth mentioning that the "Smell of Fragrance and Knowing Women", who was released into the ninth week, "handed in" data of 3.5 million U.S. dollars in three days on the weekend, occupying the seventh place in the box office rankings. , This also makes Hugo have two works on the list at the same time, it is indeed a rare sight.

No wonder the media scrambled to give Hugo praise. It is already a remarkable achievement to have two movies released within two months, especially when Hugo won the Golden Raspberry Award in January, which is even more incredible. Now, the two films have achieved success. Both the word-of-mouth and the box office are both hard to grasp. Not to mention the comparison with Hugo himself, even if it is compared with the current booming Tom Cruise. Not inferior.

The haze of the past three years has finally disappeared at this time. Hugo not only has not been overwhelmed by the bad luck brought by the Golden Raspberry Award, but also relied on his own efforts to achieve what he has not touched before. Height, the true meaning of ushered in the first peak of the career, but it can definitely be called the Christmas miracle in 1992.

When the media analyzed the reasons why the premiere data of "Yihai Xiongfeng" was so "colorful", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. com inevitably mentioned several key points. The first is the ups and downs of the Rodney-King incident, which makes people more interested in court-themed movies. At the moment when the truth is unclear, everyone is willing to believe in Rodney-King. King is the Dawson and Duny in the movie, and the white policeman. Cha is the domineering Colonel Jessup. This emotional sustenance makes the movie's box office explode with amazing energy.

The second is Hugo-Lancaster. After falling into a trough, climbing to a new peak, this experience always makes people more interesting; the foreshadowing of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the'woman'" plus two months The high exposure rate of internal intensive publicity has made people pay more attention to "Yihai Xiongfeng", at least in the attendance rate of the premiere weekend, "Yihai Xiongfeng" has a congenital "sexual" advantage. If Tom Cruise played the leading role, maybe "Yihai Xiongfeng" wouldn't have such an outstanding performance. It's not that Tom's box office appeal is not enough, but that he didn't occupy this time and place.

Of course, the highlight of the box office data at the premiere does not mean that the movie will be a success. "The Vampire’s Four Hundred Years..." The box office plummeted by 50% in the second week of its release is still vivid. The weekly box office decline has also become the next object of attention.

Fortunately, the second batch of film reviews after the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is still good news. It seems that Hugo is indeed climbing the first peak of his career.
