"Twelve Monkeys" and "Death Row" had a brief but fierce confrontation in the first week of screening. In the end, the two can be said to have basically maintained a tie. This also made people really feel the relationship between Hugo and Brad. Atmosphere of competition.

In the fourth week of December, the two works were divided into two groups, fighting the same battle in different ways on different battlefields, and the final victory or defeat still attracted countless attention.

"Twelve Monkeys" was screened in 1,500 theaters, and confronted the "Game of the Brave" that was released last week and "Wake Up until Dream", which premiered this week; "Death Prisoners' Walk" is in ten rooms. The theaters will be spotted again, and will compete with the "four rooms (. spotted on two hundred theaters this week.

The first thing that triggered the discussion was the box office battle, which is an eternal hot topic in the market.

"Until I Wake Up" is shown in 1,200 theaters. This is also the most watched work among the five films premiered this week. Whitney Houston, whose career is at its peak, has challenged the role of an actor several times. Although the media has repeatedly criticized her for being stiff and contrived, and her role is totally unremarkable, her appeal to ordinary audiences is still not to be underestimated. This movie is generally considered to be capable of hitting the 10 million-level premiere box office.

In addition to the "Brave Game" that won the championship last week and the menacing "Twelve Monkeys", there are also four works that premiered in more than 1,000 theaters, "Vampires are crazy too (:dead.and...). it)”, “Sudden death (sudden.death)”, “Meeting forgotten friends (.old.men)”, “The Adventures of New Tom (.and.)”. It can be said that this week's box office contenders are extremely lively.

In the end, "Wake Up to Dream" won the weekend box office of 14 million U.S. dollars with a box office of more than 10,000 U.S. dollars in a single hall, defeated a lot of competitors, stood out, and won the weekend box office champion in North America this week; and "Twelve Monkeys" grabbed a box office of $12.4 million with an outstanding performance of $8,000 in a single hall, which was only less than $2 million behind the champion and ranked second.

"Toy Story", which was still brave, beat last week's champion "Game of the Brave" with an incredible drop of 10%. The two ranked third and third. The other four works that premiered this week performed very badly. The best-performing "Meeting Forgetting Friends" only ranked fifth with a box office of 5.5 million.

It is worth mentioning that the "Stealing Wire" was not popular. This week's box office fell 15% to fifth place. The cumulative box office in two weeks has not exceeded 20 million, which is very embarrassing.

Although the winner was "until the dream wakes up", the outstanding performance of "Twelve Monkeys" is still impressive. In nominal terms, "Twelve Monkeys" is a commercial film. This US$29 million investment made its debut with ambitions, but from an objective point of view, this film is even more important. Most of them should be summarized into the cult style. The literary and artistic science fiction movies have strong personal characteristics of the director.

It is really incredible that such an unconventional commercial film can achieve a win-win situation in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. This makes people recall the moment when "Pulp Fiction" created its glory again.

"Twelve Monkeys" handed over 10 million-level weekend box office among a group of powerful enemies, and maintained the advantage of commercial blockbusters such as "Toy Story" and "Game of the Brave". It is really not easy; and Brad His neurotic and impetuous acting skills are even more acclaimed. In a blink of an eye, the possibility of this movie winning more than $50 million at the box office has greatly increased, making everyone shine.

What makes Universal Pictures even more happy is that thanks to Brad's rising popularity, the excellent reputation of "Twelve Monkeys" has gradually spread, and the overseas distribution rights of this work have suddenly become popular. what does this mean? profit! Billing profits!

On the other hand, the further screening of "Death Convict Walk" in the ten theaters has also been enthusiastically sought after. The box office of the single library next week once again broke the outstanding results of 46,000 US dollars, easily blasting all the works on the ranking list. According to the data of a single library, the box office of 460,000 US dollars was swept over the three days over the weekend, more than double the box office data of the previous week. The soaring momentum has caused the entire North American market to boil.

Another work featured this week, "Four Rooms", comes from Quentin Tarantino, who became famous last year. This work was co-directed by him and Robert Rodriguez (.) It was highly anticipated before it was released, but it was disappointing after it came out-the most important thing was that the expectations before "Pulp Fiction" were too high-directly led to the loss of word-of-mouth and single-library box office.

Compared with the box office of "Four Rooms" which was only 1,500 US dollars, the performance of "Death Row" is not on the same level at all, even compared to the "Twelve Monkeys" in the first week of the single library. According to the data, the answer sheet submitted by "Death Row" the next week is not inferior. Such a strong performance has once again made people realize the important point: At the end of this year, the focus of "Death Row" is in short supply.

If you look at this week’s list of the North American box office rankings, "Twelve Monkeys" ranked second, and "Death Row" was ranked 14th-due to as many as five premiere works this week, the ranking even dropped from last week. Yes, but almost everyone commented on these two works together, not only because "Twelve Monkeys" defeated "Death Row", but also because the topicality of these two films makes it impossible to ignore.

Although Brad had "beaten" Hugo as early as the "Love Years" period, everyone knows that it was a bad name, not to mention that "Pulp Fiction" had been released for nearly three at the time. Months have passed, and even the results of his own title win in the "burning years" are so shabby that it is unbearable to look directly at it.

This also makes this victory of "Twelve Monkeys" a milestone.

Of course, objectively speaking, "Twelve Monkeys" was screened in 1,500 theaters, and "Death Prisoners' Walk" was screened in ten theaters. This is of no comparative value at all. But why is this a landmark victory for Brad? It’s because the $12.4 million weekend box office of "Twelve Monkeys" was very good, enough to make Brad proud, and in the case of word-of-mouth and box office win-win situation, let "Twelve Monkeys" even put " "Death Prisoner Walk" is not inferior to his side.

This is not just a runner-up and a gap of fourteen. To be precise, Brad has shown sufficient competitiveness, proving that he has the ability to compete with Hugo on the same level. Otherwise, according to the data, the box office data of "Death Row" still surrendering $46,000 in the next week is very few in film history, and "Twelve Monkeys" simply cannot compete.

The box office list in the fourth week of December made countless people excited. Brad finally proved himself. The reputation of his works and performances have been widely recognized, allowing Brad to get rid of the shadow of Hugo for the first time. Own light. More importantly, this is still in the context of the "Death Convict Walk" pressing harder and Hugo's epic acting skills, the performance of "Twelve Monkeys" is even more breathtaking.

The outstanding performance of "Twelve Monkeys" at the box office the following week made it a hot topic. However, the performance of "Death Row" not only did not fail, but also slightly better. The performance of the well-recognized works in the landmark theaters is also applauded, once again showing the absolute strength of Hugo.

Unexpectedly, compared to the "death row" topic, the "New York Post", "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle" and other news media have focused their attention on Brad. Body. Although in the news reports, they did not blatantly mention Hugo, but only reported on Brad alone, but from the content of the report, we can see that they meant something, "Brad finally got rid of Shackle yourself, show your personal strength, and shine with unparalleled light!"

This should be said to be a reasonable situation. After being suppressed by Hugo for two years, the "Twelve Monkeys" finally let the media find a catharsis. Brad placed everyone's high hopes on him and became a bridgehead against Hugo. This also makes the major news media in North America form a unified report direction in the future, and the real confrontation camp can finally see its embryonic form at this time.

As a clut commercial film, the performance of "Twelve Monkeys" is undoubtedly successful; as an art film, the performance of "Death Row" is undoubtedly brilliant. Both works are in their own fields, blooming their own light, which has become the most exciting news hotspot at the end of this year.

The fifth week of December, which is the last week of 1995 Due to the crazy crowds during the holidays, the box office of all film works this week ushered in a skyrocketing opportunity, and almost all works ushered in considerable Increase.

Faced with such an opportunity, "Twelve Monkeys" once again added its own screening venues and screened in more than 1,600 theaters. Universal Pictures, whose confidence has greatly increased, obviously hopes that this work can take advantage of this. The enthusiasm continued to create good results; and "Death Row" finally made its expansion a little bit bigger. It was screened in 67 venues in five major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, but the scale of the screening is still the same. It was a drop in the bucket. Faced with the turbulent enthusiasm of the audience, Twentieth Century Fox obviously did not want to disrupt his own rhythm, which also drove the appetite of many audiences to a high level.

Due to the festival crowds, the box office of the North American film market surged by 200% this week, and the entire market is thriving. With the exception of the "Wake Up to Dream" that was released last week, all films have delivered a green increase report card. . Among them, "Twelve Monkeys" and "Death Row" have undoubtedly become the focus of attention. They represent the identities of commercial films and art films, respectively, showing the strong tolerance of the North American film market. Among them, the "twelve monkeys" are even more popular!

Because, just this week, Brad, the biggest winner of "Twelve Monkeys", truly beat Hugo with pride! Moreover, he won this victory in his personal capacity, which also made North America exclaimed "change of dynasty"!
