It is a miracle to break through 200 million, but for "Los Angeles City Secret", it is obvious that the pace of creating miracles has not stopped. After crossing the threshold of 200 million without any suspense, "Los Angeles City Secret" relies on its strong reputation and audience fanaticism to continue to make rapid progress in the North American market. After nearly eight months of release, the cumulative box office finally fell to 260 million.

This made "Los Angeles Secret" successfully surpass "Schindler's List" and "Speed ​​of Life and Death", becoming Hugo's second highest-grossing work in personal box office, only lagging behind "Independence Day"; and on the box office list of film history, it successfully ranked in the top ten, and it was exactly the tenth place. The outstanding performance has caused countless media to lose all their words. Just throwing out the box office data of "The Tenth Place in Film History, 260 million US dollars" is enough to shock the audience.

Among this film history box office list, "Independence Day", "Star Wars", "Alien e.t", "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King", "Star Wars 3: Warrior Revenge (return.of.the.jedi), "Hidden Ark", "Hidden Imperial" and "Los Angeles City Secret". As many as seven works are fantasy and science fiction types, with only three exceptions, namely "Hidden Imperial", "Forrest Gump" and "Los Angeles City Secret".

"Home Imperial" is a pure family comedy movie, while "Forrest Gump" is divided into war and comedy types. Comedy can also be said to be an irreplaceable part of the American film market. The happy atmosphere of family has a strong box office appeal. Therefore, the only real intruder is "Los Angeles City Secret".

As a drama film with a thrilling suspense theme, "Los Angeles Secret" fills the last gap in the North American market: it is the first drama film in strict sense that since the "Forrest Gump", it has ranked among the top ten in the box office in film history; it also has become an absolute representative work of thrilling suspense films, filling the gap in the gap in the box office that suspense films have never really occupied a place in the box office market, and creating history.

Since Alfred Hitchcock's debut, thriller and suspense films have become the most important part of North American film history films, and countless classic works have been born. Although the audience is relatively narrow, it has lasted for a long time and has always had a large number of loyal audiences.

But unfortunately, thriller and suspense films in history have never been able to truly make a fortune. Among all the works of thriller, horror and suspense, the truly epoch-making significance is the "Ghost Chaser Squad" produced in 1984. This movie swept the box office of 234 million US dollars that year, completely changing the historical status of thriller and suspense films. But unfortunately, "Ghost Chaser Squad" is often regarded as a comedy movie of fantasy and adventure. The element of fear is just one of the gimmicks, so it still cannot open up the situation.

Among the top 20 film industry box offices, there is no real suspense movie. This is undoubtedly a huge regret for the North American film market.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" were once high hopes, but unfortunately they were one step away in the last moment; now, "Los Angeles Secret" has finally accomplished this feat. Although the movie is more suspense and plot than thriller and horror, it still fills the gap in genre films, and the movie is even one step closer, ranking among the top ten film history, making the pattern of fantasy and science fiction films dominate the world truly subverted.

This is a sensational moment for the entire film industry.

What's more, as a plot movie, "Los Angeles Secret" also joined forces with "Forrest Gump", which once again proved that truly excellent art movies can still attract enough box office. In particular, "Los Angeles Secret" can be said to be a perfect plot movie textbook, which completely changed the entire Hollywood to drama art movies, and the importance of screenwriters once again reached a new high.

$260 million is not only a result of breaking the box office of 200 million, but also an outstanding work that ranked tenth in film history, but also a driving force that allows "Los Angeles City Secret" to change the course of film history. Hugo once again wrote a miracle road with an unexpected attitude.

From the "Independence Day" in 1996 to the "Los Angeles Secret" in 1997, Hugo's pace of exploring the film market has become faster, deeper, and wider.

After achieving an incredible box office result in North America, "Los Angeles Secret" came to the overseas market and still won the hearts of the audience. Although this is a movie set in Los Angeles in the 1950s, complex stories, narratives and lifelike characters are placed in any corner of the world. It is a story that people can empathize with. Compared with "pulp novels", "Los Angeles Secret" reveals the black inside story behind Hollywood and has triggered a movie viewing frenzy among audiences around the world.

"Los Angeles Secret" was screened in forty-five countries and regions overseas, and the most outstanding performance was the UK. The UK praised the many black humors in "Los Angeles Secret", and was even more talked about the meticulous script setting and rigorous character setting of the movie. They definitely raised their hands and feet to agree with such works. In the end, the movie broke out in the box office of 57 million US dollars in the British Isles, not only completely defeating the achievements of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the British market that year, but also temporarily became the British annual box office champion.

In addition to the UK, the performance of movies in Japan, France and Italy is also very outstanding, especially Japan. The largest film market in Asia is completely crazy for Hugo. Just like they were crazy for Tom Cruise, "Los Angeles Secret" won a box office of 53 million US dollars here, becoming the only market in the world except Britain and the United States that eventually exceeded 50 million. The performance was so terrifying that Warner Bros. was shocked.

Both the box offices of France and Italy exceeded 40 million US dollars, and both exceeded 45 million, easily surpassing the previous box office data of the "Seven Deadly Sins" here, setting off a movie viewing frenzy.

These four overseas markets alone have joined forces to contribute $207 million in box office. This not only means that the overseas box office of "Los Angeles City Secret" has exceeded the North American box office, but also means that the overseas box office of the movie will hopefully exceed the 300 million threshold, becoming the third work of Hugo's personal films that has reached such a high overseas box office after "Schindler's List" and "Independence Day".

"Los Angeles Secret" did not disappoint Warner Bros. and the anticipated audience.

Germany is one of the few regions in the global box office market that is lower than the "Seven Deadly Sins". "Los Angeles Secret" won $38 million in box office here, which is still an absolutely excellent result. It is temporarily ranked high in Germany's annual box office rankings, but this data does not exceed the "Seven Deadly Sins". It can be seen that Germany, a cold and serious country, prefers cold and humid New York, rather than the sunny Los Angeles, is of course just an interesting talk.

Despite this, the box office of seven countries and regions, including Germany, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Sweden, China, Hong Kong, all exceeded 10 million US dollars, and Australia and Brazil's box office have surpassed 20 million yuan one after another. The outstanding performance has caused frequent good news around the world, surpassing the "Seven Deadly Sins" in all aspects, and also made Warner Brothers smile.

In the end, "Los Angeles Secret" easily crossed the 300 million threshold in 45 markets around the world, sweeping over the box office of 350 million US dollars, surpassing the "Schindler's List", becoming Hugo's second highest-grossing overseas box office work, and completely breaking Hugo's personal box office record.

In the North American market and Shanghai market, "Los Angeles City Secret" actually terrifyingly seized the box office of $610 million. Even Warner Bros. dare not expect this box office data. This work, which invested only $40 million, undoubtedly created a myth again, even more than the "speed of life and death" and "pulp novels" that made small profits of big things, making everyone witness the birth of the miracle of Hollywood again, which can always bring surprises.

What's even more terrifying is that "Los Angeles Secret" relies on its strong box office results to surpass a number of popular summer works on the 1997 annual box office rankings, temporarily ranking high on the North American annual box office list and defeated wonderful works such as "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", "Man in Black", "King of Talk", "Air Force One"; and on the global annual box office list, it was only temporarily behind "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", and was high in the runner-up position.

When this temporary list came out, almost the whole of the United States was in an uproar.

It is not news that summer movies have not been able to win the year-end box office championship. Many works released during holidays often burst out with more box office energy; but the problem is that autumn movies have temporarily held the year-end champion in their hands. This is simply horrifying. The chaos in the world is the most overlooked, underrated, and rejected period throughout the year, but the Jedi counterattack has achieved... a great rebellion!

And it is hard to imagine that the one who created this achievement was a thrilling and suspense plot movie? The world seems to be no longer as familiar to people. "Los Angeles Secret" relies on its own to add fire to the reform of the North American film market again, burning wildly, completely changing the rules of the entire industry.
