"Leo, everyone is looking forward to the release of this movie. Do you have any special thoughts? Or, what are your outlooks on the box office of the movie?" Jay still threw out this simplest and most basic topic, causing the reporters to buzz and talk again in an instant. Obviously, they were also exchanging opinions from each other at this moment.

No matter what the previous prediction was, after experiencing such a grand and grand premiere today, everyone believes that the prospects of "Independence Day" should be another new understanding of the prospects. Putting aside the long-term box office, but relying on the explosion effect of the premiere ceremony, the box office on Independence Day and the first weekend will inevitably usher in a big explosion. Perhaps, the prediction of the "Chicago Tribune" is really not a mess.

Leonardo did not answer directly, but looked at Hugo, with a smile on his face. The unpredictable expression made Cameron, who was standing beside him, burst into laughter. The childlike sunny smile made Leonardo smile. He still looked at Hugo, and then reached out to Jay and said, "Can I say I'm looking forward to it? I'm looking forward to the scene of Hugo fighting the aliens. It should be very... well, funny. It's like Hugo and e.t are fighting."

Everyone burst into laughter when Leonardo said this. Even Hugo shook his head with helpless smile, and Leonardo seemed very proud. "As for box office, I don't know, I have never been a box office expert." After saying that, Leonardo shrugged himself, as if he was mocking his "bad habit" of never taking commercial movies, which made the reporters burst into laughter, "So, I will just say a number, uh...500 million?"

Now, the reporters laughed even harder, almost turning backwards, because Leonardo's joke was so funny.

As of 1996, the highest box office record in North America in film history was maintained by the "Alien E.t" released in 1982. The box office data of 403 million US dollars is shocking. This record is recognized by countless media as an unbreakable shackle, because all works in North American film history, not to mention 500 million, even 400 million films are only one. The only remaining "Alien E.t" is not calculated without inflation. Moreover, the box office of "Alien E.t" was released at the beginning of 360 million yuan. Later, after it was re-screened in 1985, it barely broke through the threshold of 400 million yuan, and then re-screened again in 2002. The cumulative box office of the official record was 435 million yuan...

If the box office of the re-screening was included, after the re-screening of Star Wars in 1982 and 1997, the cumulative box office of "Star Wars" reached 460 million yuan. After the re-screening of the "Lion King" in 2002 and 2011, the box office of the "Lion King" also exceeded 400 million yuan, reaching 420 million yuan.

In other words, before the "Titanic" came out, before 1996, after the first screening cycle of any movie in North America ended, the box office could exceed the incredible 400 million threshold. At this moment, even the 300 million US dollars works were only a handful, because the standard for measuring box office superstars at this time was "100 million US dollars", which is also the reason why Hugo became the top box office superstar after five consecutive movies broke 100 million and two consecutive movies broke 200 million.

Now, Leonardo has said a "500 million", which can definitely be said to be a shameless person. All reporters regard this as a joke. Even Leonardo himself, Hugo, Cameron and Jay, laughed loudly. Perhaps, this is the most successful joke on the red carpet today.

The red carpet for the premiere ceremony ended in a harmonious atmosphere. Hugo and his group walked into China. The Chinese Theater was filled with familiar friends, which made Hugo feel very intimate. Everyone was willing to come and support "Independence Day", which is very important for Hugo.

Especially when seeing Tom Cruise, it is definitely fake that Hugo said he was not moved. Paramount would not be happy to see Tom coming to support his competitors, but Tom still came with his wife. Although the two have always been competitors and will continue to compete, Hugo belongs to the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, and the Innovation Artist Brokerage Company is definitely not willing to let Tom go, the money tree, but the friendship between the two has not been affected at all.

The fate between people is such a wonderful thing.

"Why do you regret it so much when you see the excellent results of the movie? I came here to apologize." Tom seemed to be the first to notice Hugo's gratitude and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere in this way.

Hugo couldn't help but laugh and replied, "Are you sure you didn't come here to show off?"

Tom shrugged, "You have seen through it." Hugo laughed.

"Don't worry, after the box office of the Independence Day movie comes out, just don't be too jealous. I have never missed the way I choose the work." Hugo said sly.

Tom shook his head seriously, "Not to mention whether the movie can succeed, it's still unclear whether it can succeed. Even if it succeeds, I will never be jealous. Being able to play "Mission Impossible" is my honor and my choice. However, do you really have confidence in the box office of the movie? Jack was discussing with Al just now, and Jack was a little worried."

This is about Jack Nicholson. "Jack is also worried about the box office of the movie? It's not like him." Hugo and Jack are also old friends. The two don't have many opportunities to meet because of their work, but they always have a good conversation. Jack has always admired Hugo and cared for him very much. Every time Hugo has a news incident, Jack does not hesitate to defend Hugo even if he doesn't know the original appearance of the matter.

Tom tilted his head and smiled, "You know, this time the situation is different." Tom looked back at the noisy hall. The star-studded scene looked really lively. "Even if everyone in the circle is now discussing the box office of Independence Day, you know, because everyone is involved."

A club with 20 million is not that simple. The most direct actors must care, because the upper limit of pay has increased, which means that their pay has room to increase. The original 8 million may be able to get 10 million now, but the original 10 million level may have risen to 13 million, and the commission of the agent will also increase.

In addition, due to the increase in the salary of actors and the increase in the composition cost, wages can be increased in all aspects of the crew, but the arc of the increase varies according to different departments. Therefore, a 20 million club affects the entire Hollywood landscape, which is also the reason why major film companies are always cautious and cautious. They clearly know that once the whole body is the most accurate saying that describing this matter.

Now, there is no hope for the box office of the "Ace Special Commissioner", which has hit the enthusiasm of many people, so everyone's attention is naturally focused on "Independence Day". The significance of this movie has surpassed the level of ordinary works and carries the important task of the future direction of commercial films.

It is hard to imagine that Hugo won the Oscar for Best Actor not long ago, and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor two years ago has become a representative figure of Hollywood acting. Now Hugo has become the protagonist of the box office of the film market, with the box office with the right hand, which is probably the same.

Hugo doesn't know much about the entire Hollywood landscape, but he has more or less heard Rick and Joseph say something that he never thinks he is superman, so he will not bear the pressure on his shoulders. Of course, life is involuntary, even if Hugo doesn't care, it doesn't mean others won't care. It's natural to say that if you win, you will fail. Maybe everyone will take Hugo's anger, and Hugo's life in Hollywood will be embarrassing.

"So, Jack thinks how much will the movie box office be?" Hugo asked with a smile without bending around the bush.

"He hopes to break through 50 million in the first week, but he thinks 35 million is a relatively realistic number." Tom's words made Hugo laugh. Seeing Tom's puzzled gaze, Hugo waved his hand, "No, I just think Jack is there to predict the box office, which is really funny."

Tom also laughed helplessly, "Stop talking about Jack, I just heard Steven, George, and David discussing box office jokingly. Although I know they are not serious, but..." But this is the reality. Not only reporters, but even the actors, screenwriters, directors, and producers are looking forward to the premiere and final box office of "Independence Day". This is a box office war that maintains the entire Hollywood.

People originally thought that the "Ace Commissioner" would reveal this answer first, and Columbia Pictures is also looking forward to it, so it was released earlier than "Independence Day". Even because the schedule was too rush, some problems in the later stage of the editing were not met.

Hugo raised his eyebrows. In fact, he also felt that in recent times, even Sheeran Lekuning and Roger Fasson, who were recording, have discussed it. Fu Jin, who has never been interested in these, has also asked about Hugo's box office with concern, not to mention the owner of the convenience store, the cashier in the supermarket, the working students at the gas station, etc.

"So, what do you think? What do you think the box office will be?" Hugo looked at Tom with a smile.

Tom frowned and grinned, "Uh...56 million?" This made Hugo stunned, and then laughed. The box office of "Mission Impossible" was 56.8 million.

Hugo was having a good chat with Tom here, but Leonardo came over, said hello to Hugo, and left the China Theater. As Hugo expected, "Titanic" is being filmed closely, and Leonardo had no way to leave the set. Although objectively speaking, this is a disaster drama. In addition to Leonardo, there are many scenes of others. Leonardo only left for a few hours and had no impact at all, but it is not ruled out that the influence of James Cameron behind it.

In short, Leonardo took two hours to attend the premiere of "Independence Day". After the premiere ceremony, he rushed back to San Diego to film.

After seeing off Leonardo, the screening time of "Independence Day" is approaching step by step. What kind of answer will this work that carries the weight of the entire Hollywood history? Will it achieve the historical glory of "Terminator 2" or become a tragedy like "Future Water World"?

Everything will be announced soon!
