Although Hugo did not participate in the performance at all, the release of "Titanic" and "Excellent" still made Hugo an indispensable part of it. Unconsciously, Hugo has become an indispensable part of the transformation of the film industry, and at the same time has also become one of the most important driving forces in the historical process.

Although the success or failure of "Titanic" and "Excellent Perfection" cannot be directly linked to Hugo, no one can deny that both works are closely related to Hugo. Especially the former, will this work become the second "Future Water World" or the second "Independence Day" be at least the second "Jurassic Park", which will have an impact on the subsequent development of the entire film industry.

Judging from the box office in the first week, the prospects are dark.

The good-than-fact USA Today conducted a survey, and sampled 1,200 ordinary citizens. More than 71% of the people believed that the "Titanic" would be the second "Future Water World".

This overwhelming bad voice almost made James Cameron furious, but as smart as him, he naturally knew that it was irrational to anger the media at this time. Moreover, his reliance on his box office driving ability. Excellent box office results are the source of his voice, the source where he can stand up in front of major film production companies.

The media tested James several times. After returning in vain, they were inspired by the New York Post and rushed towards Hugo in a swarm, trying to dig out more content from Hugo. Unfortunately, Hugo just smiled and replied, "This is just the premiere box office, isn't it?"

The subtext means that subsequent box office is more important.

This answer surprised the media reporters because the premiere box office is the benchmark, that is, the starting height, and the starting line is already behind, so it is naturally doubled to create miracles. Like the "Speed ​​Speed ​​of Life and Death", the premiere box office of 30 million yuan, but in the end, it won a box office of 200 million US dollars, and is one of the few movies.

"Hugo really misunderstood this time!" This is the headline of the latest "New York Post" entertainment page.

For media reporters, the most important thing is that timeliness and even exceeds authenticity. In order to seize the commanding heights, they even like to make noises in the news published by the media. Before the matter has been revealed, they can't wait to start making various speculations and assertions. They just need to add a word like "maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, hear" to the discourse to bring authenticity over. With the development of society, news has become more and more utilitarian and has become more and more impatient.

This time, the uncrowned kings were destined to be in the hands of Hugo again.

In the next few months, the box office results of the three works "Titanic", "007's Empire of Tomorrow" and "Excellent" were divided into three completely different development curves, and as time progressed, people were more and more shocked and more exaggerated.

First of all, "007: The Empire of Tomorrow", which was the first to fail in the premiere of this highly anticipated work. Although it lost 18% the next week, it still could not suppress the decline of the work. In the end, it was down in just eight weeks after its release. In the end, the box office in North America was only 119 million, barely exceeding the cost line of 110 million US dollars, which disappointed everyone and also made the "007" series face crisis again.

Fortunately, the box office appeal of this series in the overseas market is still very strong. The overseas box office of $207 million made MGM Pictures breathe a sigh of relief. In the end, the global box office of $330 million was enough to make MGM a small profit and also saved the "007" series.

The embarrassment of "007: The Empire of Tomorrow" was unexpected, especially in comparison with the two competitors. If "007: The Empire of Tomorrow" is a rapid decline curve, then the other two works are undoubtedly an upward curve.

"Fine and perfect" relied on its excellent reputation to deliver an incredible box office decline of 3% in the next week, which reversed the unfavorable situation of the first weekend's box office in one fell swoop. The subsequent declines created miracles repeatedly. After five consecutive weeks of declines below 10%, the cumulative box office of the movie smoothly reached the threshold of 80 million. Although the growth momentum was slow, it shocked everyone.

But this was just the beginning. Then, thanks to the outstanding performance at major awards ceremonies, the box office of "Full Perfect" actually showed a counter-growth momentum, ending with a green increase for three weeks. The wonderful performance became a beautiful landscape on the list, which made "Full Perfect" stay in the top ten in the North American weekend box office rankings for 16 weeks, ranking among the top ten in the list of consecutive weekly numbers, and the cumulative box office reached 140 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

Who would have thought that the premiere box office was only 12 million US dollars, but "Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-

Such a result even surpassed the "007 Empire of Tomorrow", which made everyone scream.

Compared with an investment of 50 million US dollars, the results of "perfect perfection" are not outstanding, but for a comedy drama movie, it is a hearty victory. In the film history list of comedy drama movies, it ranks third only after "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" and "Fengyue Pretty Beauty"!

Even the global box office is not inferior. The overseas box office delivered another $165 million, which made the "perfect" global box office reach $314 million, and there is not much difference from the "007 Empire of Tomorrow" that exploded in the overseas market. Even in Hugo's personal works, it is definitely not inferior.

A truly refreshing victory! As a screenwriter, Hugo not only received recognition from professional film critics, but also received recognition from box office. This is also the first time that Hugo has attracted box office as a "screenwriter". This is undoubtedly another victory for Sony Columbia Pictures. It is a brilliant victory that is jealous, but helpless.

Who would have thought that even as a screenwriter, Hugo's box office appeal is still so strong?

If the great victory of "perfect" is incredible enough, then the counterattack curve of "Titanic" is even more shocking, which also made 1997 a year in the history of film: "Los Angeles Secret" emerged before, and then "Titanic" destroyed. This is another earth-shaking turmoil in the North American film industry after 1994.

Although the box office of "Tetanick" was not satisfactory in the first week, the subsequent box office curve surprised everyone: the next week saw a box office increase of 24%, which instantly drowned out all opposition; the third week only had a 6% drop, and what was even more terrifying was that the single-day box office from Monday to Thursday brought surprises every day, and the cumulative box office exceeded 150 million US dollars in three weeks, making the media want to swallow their fists.

But this is just the beginning.

After easily completing three consecutive championships, four consecutive championships, five consecutive championships, six consecutive championships... ten consecutive championships, eleven consecutive championships... thirteen consecutive championships! After tying the thirteen consecutive championships of "Mr. Duss" and "Beverly Hills Police Detective", the pace still did not stop, fourteen consecutive championships! fifteen consecutive championships!

Slaps one after another, the media went from noisy to silence, to silence, and finally to the hope that the newspapers that were printed could be completely destroyed. The "Titanic" broke the media's predictions with records one after another, and took its own glory into its pocket bit by bit.

"Titanic" has re-written history with a continuous 15 consecutive championships. This is the work that has won the North American weekend box office championship for the most weeks in film history. Even in the non-consecutive weekly ranking, "Titanic" is only behind the sixteen-week champion of "Alien e.t".

History has been written silently!

The history created by "Titanic" is not just a fifteen consecutive championships. During these 15 consecutive weeks, the box office in six weeks ended with an increase, and the box office decline of eight weeks was lower than 15%. In other words, in the entire 15 consecutive championships, the box office decline exceeded 15%. That was the sixth week of the movie's release, and the box office decline was "as high as 16%.

The premiere box office was only 28 million? So what! The emergence of "Titanic" has truly refreshed people's concept of computer special effects. This is the second work that has truly shaken the entire market after "Independence Day". The change of dynasty has been completed quietly. Whether the traditional academics recognize it or not, reality has arrived.

The fifth week exceeded 200 million, the seventh week exceeded 300 million, and the tenth week exceeded 400 million, the Titanic followed the "Independence Day" faster and faster. In just ten weeks, it became the second film in film history to have a box office of 400 million in North America. However, this is still not the end.

The box office exceeded 500 million in the fifteenth week, and the cumulative box office reached 542 million US dollars in the 17th week, officially breaking the box office record of 535 million US dollars created by Independence Day last year, and ranked the new box office champion of North American box office. Subsequently, the "Titanic"'s history is still making great strides. On August 30, 1998, this day became a day that was recorded in history. The first work in North American film history with a box office of over 600 million was born!

This is the end of the "Titanic", and even the most gorgeous words of praise seem so pale and powerless.
Chapter completed!
