The US$45 million premiere box office, even in Hugo’s personal box office history, can rank second, just behind "Independence Day" and surpassing the "speed of life and death" and the "seven deadly sins". Together with "L.A. Confidential", such outstanding results prove to everyone: Hugo's box office appeal in the summer is unmatched!

Especially compared to the US$60 million investment in "Trumen's World", this premiere data is even more outstanding. Although this is only the first week of the movie's release, the feedback from the media and audiences is good. It can be seen that there is no problem in achieving profitability for this work-the point is how much profit can be made, can the final box office of "Trumen's World" exceed the "seven deadly sins" and cross the 200 million threshold? Can it surpass the "L.A. Confidential" 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.

Facing the strength of "Trumen's World", "Super Perfect Murder" did not show any weakness. The large-scale screening of 3,000 theaters far exceeded the scale of competitors, becoming the largest screening in the first week of June. His works demonstrate the strong self-confidence of Warner Bros.

From screening theaters to publicity, from topic rendering to attention, it can be said that Warner Bros. has concentrated almost all its resources on the "super-perfect murder". Relatively speaking, three weeks before the release of "Trumen's World", "The Great Clash of Heaven and Earth" was also a work produced by Paramount itself. Because of the deviation of Paramount's estimate of the performance of "Trumen's World"-it was not Paramount. It’s wrong. After "Independence Day" disaster movies themselves are highly anticipated, coupled with the frenzy set off by "Titanic", and the box office driving force of sci-fi disaster movies in the summer file was originally higher than that of comedy movies. Ramon has almost concentrated most of his power on the "Great Clash of Heaven and Earth", which is understandable.

Therefore, the “super-perfect murder case” can almost be said to occupy the time and place. Even if people are still optimistic about the “Trumen’s World” winning the box office championship in the first week of June, the potential of the “super-perfect murder case” is absolutely absolute. Not to be underestimated. But the fact is that the final box office performance of the "Super Perfect Murder" is still unsatisfactory-not only unsatisfactory, but even disappointing.

The charisma of Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow is not worth mentioning in front of the name "Hugo Lancaster", just like a paper, even with countless strengths, but The final box office result for the premiere weekend was still only 16 million US dollars, so the box office data was not only blown up by "Trumen's World", even for itself, this result is not at all outstanding.

Lost the box office, the word of mouth, the face, and the lizi.

People had expected such an ending. The "Super Perfect Murder" could not launch an effective attack on "Trumen's World". Hugo's aura would still make the audience in the first week of June madly flood into "Trumen". The venues in the “world of the world” have formed a strong suppression of the “super-perfect murder case”. But even the "Los Angeles Times" did not expect that the final victory of "Trumen's World" would be so hearty, and the "super-perfect murder case" actually ushered in a crisp defeat, as if that powerful propaganda momentum, huge. The cast is simply vulnerable.

The fragile defeat of that row of mountains is almost stunned!

There is no comparison between 16 million and 45 million. It is like a movie that has been released for three weeks facing the work that premiered this week. "Trumen's World" ended in a crushing posture. The "super-perfect murder" broke out, and the absolutely strong performance caused an exclamation.

In the face of such terrible results in the "Super-Perfect Murder", the media did not even mention the film. Even the gossip between Gwyneth and Hugo is dispiriting, as if to continue. It’s just tasteless deliberate hype-and reporters know that Hugo will not have any interest in these news. Therefore, Gwyneth’s criticism of Hugo at the premiere seems to be the same. The grains of sand fell into the sea, with a little ripples, not even a splash of water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Is this a good thing for Gwyneth? Or is it a bad thing?

Compared with the lace news of the "super-perfect murder", the outstanding performance of "Trumen's World" in creating history is the focus of discussion. Almost everyone is lamenting the new box office record of comedy movies. Almost everyone All are praising Hugo for writing history once again.

In the face-to-face confrontation between "Trumen's World" and "Ultra-Perfect Murder", the two movies released on the same day, there is no doubt that the former was shocked by the victory and ended.

Another focus of this week is the collision between Hugo and Roland Emmerich. "Godzilla" has reached the third week of its release this week. The cumulative box office of the previous two weeks has reached 99 million US dollars. The box office had successfully exceeded 100 million yuan before Friday, but the box office trend of the movie was not optimistic. The box office fell as much as 59% the next week. This is definitely not good news for the investment cost of 130 million yuan. , This week’s “Godzilla” decline performance will determine whether the film can retain the hope of hitting $150 million at the North American box office.

It can be said that this week is very important to "Godzilla". It is almost impossible for Sony Columbia Pictures to rely on North American box office to achieve profitability, but at least ensure that the North American box office can exceed the book cost, and then rely on overseas At the box office to achieve the ultimate goal of profitability, this is what Sony Columbia Pictures desperately hopes.

Therefore, how much box office will "Trumen's World" take away, and how much pressure will it bring to "Godzilla". Hugo and Roland, the two heroes who have jointly created the miracle of "Independence Day", will hand over again. What kind of answer sheet is a topic worth looking forward to.

Now, the answer is revealed.

The US$45 million premiere box office of "Trumen's World" has had an impact on the entire movie market. The box office generated by the entire 20 North American movies this week was only US$88 million. "The World" accounted for more than 50% of the film, and all other films were inevitably squeezed.

In the end, "Godzilla" dropped as much as 47% this week. Except for a few works that have been released for more than a month, this is the biggest drop this week. It can be clearly felt that "Godzilla" has been the most affected. On the one hand, the strong momentum of "Trumen's World" has further promoted the audience to choose the former when choosing between Hugo and Roland; one On the other hand, "Godzilla" was trapped by its own quality and failed to attract more audiences.

"Godzilla" was only released in the third week, the weekend box office has dropped to less than 10 million, and only 9.7 million box office in three days, which promoted the cumulative box office of the movie to 114 million US dollars. This is undoubtedly bad news, marking that the film’s hope of hitting $150 million has been completely shattered, and even the cost line of reaching $130 million has been in jeopardy.

Hugo and Roland duel-Hugo wins!

This is also the result that everyone expected. At the time, "Independence Day" achieved historical box office results, and most of the credit was placed in Hugo's name. Compared to Roland, the great director, Hugo, as the leading actor, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor. And this time too, the confrontation between "Godzilla" and "Trumen's World" is not considered a confrontation. The former suffered heavy losses and the latter ended up writing history.

In the first week of June, in the North American weekend box office rankings, "Trumen's World", "Super Perfect Murder", and "Godzilla" were ranked in the top three, but almost all the focus was on the champion, not just Because this is Hugo’s work, not only did it set a new high this year because of the 45 million U.S. dollar winning record, it also set a new record in the history of comedy movies, and it’s also because the movie itself has become the biggest focus in the past two years. Carrier!

Undoubtedly, the emergence of "Trumen's World" immediately ignited the frenzy of this year's summer archives. Under the cover of the US$45 million premiere box office, discussions about this movie became more and more heated. , Not just film critics, more audiences have also joined the discussion, thanks to the "Trumen's World" presenting those profound and obscure topics in an easy-to-understand way like black fairy tales, making it easy for the audience Be able to read and produce more understanding.

With the full release of the movie, the theater score dropped from "a+" to "a". Although the score has declined, it is obvious that the decline is very limited. With the increase in samples, "Trumen's World" still got The support and praise of the broad audience, such a performance also complemented the media review and the premiere box office, and truly pushed such a comedy film to the pinnacle of history.

As a comedy movie, the frenzy of reflection triggered by "Trumen's World" is far beyond imagination, and even deeper than many drama movies. Roger Ebert used this movie together with The comparison of "Forrest Gump" is not without reason.

Now, after the box office exploded during the premiere weekend, the discussion has become more and more complicated, more enthusiastic, more and more profound, and more and more high-end. In the absence of the Internet as a platform for expressing opinions, countless viewers have begun to contribute articles to major newspapers and magazines, eagerly hoping to find a target to exchange their views.

Seeing such a situation, the "Chicago Tribune" ingeniously opened up a reader letter to publish an optimistic topic, which actually triggered a series of chain reactions, pushing the movie "Trumen's World" further in the position of a classic masterpiece. , Faintly developing in the direction of a work of God, which is also unexpected by everyone.
