Chapter 1002 1002 Victory in the first battle

"Pulp Novel" was released for seven weeks and accumulated a box office of $1.09 million; "Night Visit to Vampire" was released for three weeks and accumulated a box office of $83 million.

This lightweight vs. heavyweight showdown presents an unexpected but reasonable curve.

"Night Visit Vampire" starts strong and has a huge momentum, but is trapped by its own quality limitations and has weak successors. It originally had the hope of hitting the total box office of 200 million US dollars, but then fell to 150 million. Now it is considered by many media to target 100 million. "Pu novels" are stable, but their explosive power is slightly inferior, but their battery life is outweighing. The original goal of the total box office of 50 million US dollars has increased step by step, but it actually exceeded the 100 million threshold seven weeks after its release. Now the media generally point out that it is fully capable of hitting the box office of 150 million US dollars.

No one expected that the result would be a lightweight victory. Although the dust has not been completely settled yet, "Pu Novels" is already unstoppable at this time; but this is a reasonable ending. Otherwise, people would not compare "Pu Novels" at the same level as "night visits to vampires" at the beginning, because "Pu Novels" have a chance of winning.

In the first week of December, after the outbreak of Thanksgiving, all movies saw a collective decline in box office.

"Santa Claus" plummeted by 45%, but it still won the championship with a weekend box office of $11 million. This masterpiece, which cost only $22 million, has accumulated a box office of $84 million in four weeks after its release. It is a great victory at any time. Unfortunately, it was born at the wrong time and encountered the first showdown between the three major actors, but it was never able to really trigger the topic.

"Pulp Novel" became the only work this week with a drop of less than 30%, with a drop of 27%. It won $5.8 million in three days on the weekend, but rose instead of falling, and it rose straight to the runner-up position!

This means that in that unfair contest, the "pulp novel" on the weak side not only defeated the powerful opponent "night visit to vampire" in the box office performance of the same period, but also achieved an incredible victory in the unfair and frontal competition in the eighth week of release and the fourth week of release!

"Night Visit to Vampire" box office continued to plummet by 56%, and the box office of $5.1 million is not to mention the 9% drop in the fourth week of "Pulp Novels" released. Even compared with the "Pulp Novels" that were released in the eighth week of the current, it is far behind, and it is only ranked fifth on the list this week.

After only three weeks of persistence, the massive "Night Visit Vampire" only maintained its advantage over "Puu Novels" for three weeks, and then returned to the pre-liberation night, and its competitiveness was like a deflated balloon, sweeping away. The only thing to be thankful is that the cumulative box office of "Night Visit Vampire" has reached 91 million in the four weeks. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no problem with 100 million US dollars.

"Star Travel 7: Star Ark" and "Little Guy" occupy the third place and the Palace Army this week with a slight gap.

Obviously, the winner was decided at this time. After only four weeks of persistence, the "night visit to the vampire" showed signs of fatigue. After that, he was even more powerless. First, he fell by 57% in a week, and then by 43% in a week, the weekend box office had already fallen to the brink of one million US dollars, and even the box office threshold of one hundred million US dollars seemed so close and far, which really surprised everyone.

The "Night Visit to Vampire" declined so rapidly in the later period that no one could have expected that the gap of less than 10 million could have exceeded 10 million, but now it is covered with a shadow, and Warner Bros. is even more bleak. The box office of the premiere was still very pleasant, but the subsequent development was a week of bad luck, which forced Warner Bros. to re-plan.

In the end, "Night Visit Vampire" was released in just eight weeks and was offline in advance, because the box office of a single museum had fallen below 800 US dollars. The empty seats made major theaters unwilling to allocate venues to this work, and Warner Bros. was also helpless. However, fortunately, "Night Visit Vampire" won a box office of $1.3 million on the weekend of the eighth week, thanks to Warner Bros.'s strong publicity and New Year's Eve holiday, which also helped the movie's accumulated box office almost pass the 100 million threshold and settled in the 101 million US dollars.

Subsequently, "Night Visit Vampire" was released for five days in the New Year in 1995 and officially went offline on January 5th. Finally, the accumulated box office reached 101.7 million US dollars. The competitor "Pulp Novel" is already far ahead and has made great strides towards the box office of 150 million. "Night Visit Vampire" can only watch the opponent's backs get farther and farther away.

This result made many people sigh.

In fact, "Night Visit to Vampire" has achieved great success. The $100 million box office was still the highest-ranking level in the early 1990s. There is probably no problem with the top ten in the year-end. Moreover, the popularity brought by the movie to the two male protagonists Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt is even more immeasurable. Most importantly, this movie has also become a milestone in the vampire theme. Even twenty years later, people still cannot ignore the glory and classics of this movie when discussing it again.

But unfortunately, "Night Visit Vampire" encountered "Pulp Novels". The competition between the protagonists of these two movies was very hyped, which also made the comparison of victory and defeat more vivid. "Night Visit Vampire" may be excellent enough and successful enough, but compared to "Pulp Novels", everything becomes insignificant.

"Pulp novels" defeat the strong with the weak and the small with the big. While gaining the upper hand in this duel, people witnessed the powerful explosive power of independent films with their own eyes, and at the same time, they also made people feel the popularity dispute between Hugo, Tom and Brad, which gradually began to spark.

Just when everyone thought that "vulgar novels" would crush the "night visit to vampires" with the blessing of Hugo and achieve a complete victory, the film market actually changed again: "Lovely Years" was officially released!

The emergence of "Lovely Years" is really interesting. Many years later, people couldn't help but joke that history was created by people inadvertently. At the end of 1994, a news that was originally hyped up just to create gimmicks became the most important highlight in Hollywood's development history because of one coincidence after another.

"Love Years" chose to be released in the third week of December. This film, starring Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt, was given the title of "new confrontation" as the competition between the three male actors gradually became fierce.

News media generally stated that although the showdown between "night visit to vampires" and "pulp novels" is unfair, it does burst into powerful sparks. The box office rise of "pulp novels" still shows no sign of weakening, but "night visit to vampires" has been weak.

"Love Years" starring Brad is obviously the relay. He took over the seat of "Night Visit Vampire" and continued to fight against "Pulp Novels". Although this time, it was without Tom Cruise's participation, it became a confrontation between Brad and Hugo, and the excitement would never be reduced.

When it comes to Brad and Hugo, people are definitely familiar with it.

From "Love in the River" to "The Legend of the Sea of ​​Righteousness", from "Schindler's List" to "Saying Farewell to Love Heaven", the showdown between these two actors has been hyped countless times, and every time it is sparking. Also, there is no need to be deliberately reminded, everyone will not forget that at the premiere of "Night Visit to Vampire", after Brad's remarks were over-interpreted by the media, it instantly inspired the gossip of the entire film market.

What is even more intriguing is that "Entertainment Weekly" revealed that "Love Years" and Hugo still have an incomprehensible origin.

The report of "Entertainment Weekly" stated that Hugo once tried to participate in the "Love Years" audition after the Golden Globes incident, but the film's producer and screenwriter obviously had no interest in Hugo, who was "infamous" at the time, and refused without hesitation.

After the glory of "Seattle Night" and "Schindler's List", the crew of "Lovely Years" actually extended an olive branch to Hugo! This time, it was Hugo's turn to reject "Lovely Years" and chose "pulp novels".

The crew of the embarrassing "Love Years" could only turn their targets to Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise. However, they didn't know that Johnny and Tom actually had a personal relationship with Hugo, and refused without hesitation. In the end, the protagonist of the movie fell into Brad's hands.

After "Entertainment Weekly" broke this news at such a critical moment, it was like adding fuel to the fire and directly detonated the remaining chemical reactions during the fierce battle between "Night Visits to Vampire" and "Pugu Novels". This time, Hugo and Brad faced each other head-on, and the scene was far more lively than the first war that had not yet completely concluded.

The most important thing is that the movie "Love Years" actually involved a group of actors of similar age. Obviously, Hugo, Johnny, and Tom are a group of people with good relationships, while Brad stood on the opposite side of Hugo. Such gossip and such inside story really make people excited.

The media called the "second showdown" almost put "vulgar novels" and "love-burning years" in the seats of both sides in the ring, and with the help of the smoke of the last showdown, all the focus of public opinion was attracted.

As expected, this gossip became the focus of journalists' attention at the premiere of "The Years of Love". Even if the distribution company Columbia Pictures has been doing public relations, it cannot stop the reporters' gossip enthusiasm. One after another, the surging questions poured down towards Brad.

After the lessons of the premiere of "Night Visit to Vampire" and it was obvious that he learned his lesson. His answers were always honest. When he encountered too sharp topics, he used a bright smile. But objectively speaking, Brad did not explode until this year, and he still had too little experience in dealing with reporters.

When the reporter kept talking about the origins between "Lovely Years" and Hugo over and over again, Brad finally couldn't help it. He said angrily, "I don't know how the whole process is, but I know that it's me who is standing at the premiere of the movie today. I, Brad Pitt!"
