"Twelve Monkeys" and "Death-infernal Affairs" had a brief and fierce confrontation in the first week of preview. In the end, the two can be said to have basically maintained a tie, which also made people truly feel the competitive atmosphere between Hugo and Brad.

In the fourth week of December, the two works were divided into two groups and fought the same battles in different battlefields in different ways. The final victory and defeat still attracted countless attention.

"Twelve Monkeys" were released in 1,550 theaters, confronting the "Brave Game" released last week and the "Waiting to Wake Up" premiered this week; "Death-Battle Stroll" was screened again in ten theaters, competing with the "Four Rooms (four.rooms)" that was screened this week in 200 theaters.

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

"When I wake up" was released in 1,200 theaters, which is also the most popular work among the five premiered movies this week. Whitney Houston, whose career is at its peak, challenged the role of an actor several times. Although the media has repeatedly criticized the rigid and artificial performance and the characters are all uninnovative, her appeal to ordinary audiences should not be underestimated. This movie is also generally considered to have the ability to hit the 10 million premiere box office.

In addition to the "Brave Game" that won the championship last week and the aggressive "Twelve Monkeys", there are also four works that premiered in more than a thousand theaters, "Dracula:dead.and.loving.it", "Sudden.death", "Forget Friends when I see my sex (g-breasted mpier.old.men), and "The Adventures of Tom (tom.and.huck). It can be said that the box office contenders this week are extremely lively.

In the end, "When I wake up from my dream", he won a weekend box office of more than 10,000 US dollars in a single store, defeated a number of competitors, stood out, and won the North American weekend box office championship this week; while the "Twelve Monkeys" won the box office data of 12.4 million US dollars with an outstanding performance of 8,000 US dollars in a single store, and ranked second only by less than 2 million US dollars behind the championship.

The "Toy Story" that still performed bravely defeated last week's champion "Brave Game" with an incredible decline of 10%. The two ranked third and the Palace Army. The other four works that premiered this week performed very badly, and the best-achieving "Love Friends" ranked fifth with a box office of 5.5 million.

It is worth mentioning that the "Stealing Fire Line" is not popular. The box office fell by 15 percentage points this week and fell to fifth place. The cumulative box office in two weeks has not exceeded 20 million, which is very regrettable.

Although the winner was "waiting until the time of waking up", the outstanding performance of "Twelve Monkeys" is still impressive. In terms of name, "Twelve Monkeys" is a commercial film. This work with a $29 million investment made a brilliant debut with ambitions, but from an objective perspective, this film should be more summarized into the cult style. The sci-fi movie with a strong literary style has a strong director's personal characteristics.

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, which makes people recall the moment when "pulp novels" created gloriousness.

The "Twelve Monkeys" delivered a weekend box office of 10 million among a group of powerful enemies, maintaining the advantages of commercial blockbusters such as "Toy Story" and "Brave Games" which is really not easy; and Brad's neurotic and impetuous acting skills have been widely praised. In a blink of an eye, the possibility of this movie winning a box office of more than 50 million US dollars has increased greatly, which has made everyone's eyes shine.

What makes Universal Pictures happier is that thanks to Brad's popularity rising steadily, the excellent reputation of the "Twelve Monkeys" has gradually spread, and the overseas distribution rights of this work have suddenly become popular. What does this mean? Profit! Profits rolling in!

On the other hand, "Death Prisoner Walk" was also enthusiastically sought after in the further preview of ten theaters. The box office of a single-stage museum broke out again in the next week, with an outstanding result of 46,000 US dollars, easily surpassing the single-stage data of all works on the rankings. It swept through the box office of 460,000 US dollars in three days on the weekend, more than double the box office data of the previous week. The soaring momentum has made the entire North American market boil.

Another pre-screened work "Four Rooms" this week is Quentin Tarantino, who became famous last year. This work, co-directed by him and Robert Rodriguez (robert.rod) was highly anticipated before it was released, but it was disappointing after its release. The most important thing is that the expectations before "pulp novels" were too high, which directly led to both the word-of-mouth and the box office of the single museum.

Compared with the preview box office of "Four Rooms" which was only 1,500 US dollars, the performance of "Deathly Walk" is not on the same level at all. Even compared with the preview single hall data of "Twelve Monkeys" in the first week, the answers delivered by "Deathly Walk" the next week are not inferior. Such strong performance once again made people realize the important point: at the end of this year, the focus state of "Deathly Walk" in short supply is unrivaled.

If you watch this week's North American box office rankings, "Twelve Monkeys" rank second, and "Deathly Walking" is ranked 14th. Due to as many as five works premiered this week, the ranking has even declined compared to last week. However, almost everyone put these two works together to comment, not only because "Twelve Monkeys" defeated "Deathly Walking", but also because the topicality of these two movies is unignorable.

Although Brad had "beat" Hugo as early as the "Love Years" period, everyone knows that it is injustice. Not to mention that "Pulp Novel" has been released for nearly three months, even the "Love Years"'s own championship was very disappointing and unbearable.

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

Of course, objectively speaking, the "Twelve Monkeys" were released in 1,550 theaters, and the "Death Prisoner Walk" was previewed in 1,550 theaters, which was of no value at all. But what is the reason why this is a milestone victory for Brad? It is because the "Twelve Monkeys" had a very outstanding weekend box office of $1,240 million, which was enough to make Brad proud. In the case of a win-win reputation and box office, the "Twelve Monkeys" were not inferior even if they were placed next to "Death Prisoner Walk".

This is not just a runner-up and a fourteenth gap. To be precise, Brad should have shown sufficient competitiveness, proving that he is capable of competing with Hugo on the same level as Hugo. Otherwise, according to the data, the box office data of "Deathly Walk" still handed over $46,000 in the next week of the preview screening is very few in film history, and the "Twelve Monkeys" cannot compete at all.

The box office list in the fourth week of December made countless people excited. Brad finally proved himself that his reputation and performance were widely recognized, allowing Brad to get rid of Hugo's shadow for the first time and shine his own light. More importantly, this is under the background of "Death Prison Walk" step by step and Hugo's epic acting amazing, the performance of "Twelve Monkeys" is even more amazing.

The outstanding performance of the "Twelve Monkeys" box office the following week made it a hot topic. However, the performance of "Death Prisoner Walking" not only did not fall behind, but was also slightly better. This work, which was fully recognized from the plot to the thought, from the director to the actor, was also applauded in the preview of the landmark theater, and once again showed Hugo's absolute strength.

But unexpectedly, compared to the topic of "Death Prisoner Walking" everywhere, news media such as "New York Post", "USA Today", and "Houston Chronicle" have focused their attention on Brad. Although they did not mention Hugo blatantly in the news reports, they only reported Brad alone, but from the content of the report, they could see that their intentions were pointed out. "Brad finally broke free from his own constraints, showed his personal strength, and shone an unparalleled light!"

This should be said to be reasonable. After being suppressed by Hugo for two years, the "Twelve Monkeys" finally let the media find a vent. Brad placed high hopes on everyone and became a bridgehead for fighting Hugo. This also led to the formation of major news media in North America in the future reporting direction, and the real confrontation camp can finally see the prototype at this time.

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

In the fifth week of December, the last week of 1995, due to the crazy crowds of holidays, all films have seen a great opportunity for box office sales this week, and almost all works have experienced considerable increases.

Faced with such an opportunity, "Twelve Monkeys" once again added its own screening venues and screened in more than 1,600 theaters. Universal Pictures, which has increased its confidence, obviously hopes that this work can continue to achieve good results while the craze is rising; and "Death Prisoner Walk" has finally made its expansion steps slightly bigger, and screened in 67 venues in five major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. However, the scale of this screening is still a drop in the bucket. Faced with the audience's surging enthusiasm, 20th Century Fox obviously does not want to destroy its rhythm, which also makes many viewers' appetites high.

Due to the festival crowd, the box office of the North American film market soared by 200 percentage points this week, and the entire market was thriving. Except for the "Waiting to Wake Up" released last week, all films have delivered a green increase report card. Among them, "Twelve Monkeys" and "Death Prison Walk" have undoubtedly become the focus of attention. The two show the strong tolerance of the North American film market as representatives of commercial films and artistic films, and the "Twelve Monkeys" are even more popular!
