Chapter 2013 2013 Comedy Box Office
On the premiere of "Trumen's World" and "Super Perfect Murder", the confrontation between two works released on the same day was a hot topic, and Gwyneth Paltrow's dissatisfaction and rejection of Hugo in the interview became the focus of enthusiastic discussion among reporters.
As the world's number one man today, although Hugo has not been able to re-elect the sexiest and most sensual man of the year in the past two years, the gap between him and Hugo is very obvious, whether it was Brad Pitt the previous year or George Clooney last year.
It is worth mentioning that although George Clooney suffered a box office defeat of "Batman and Robin" and "Peacemaker", he successfully defeated Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugo, and successfully became the Person of the Year in "People" Weekly. This also became a moment of interesting news: Can George really replace Brad and compete with Hugo?
Due to Hugo's powerful influence, Hugo's emotional dynamics have always been the focus of attention. Gwyneth's attitude towards Hugo made people unable to help but start to think: What happened between Gwyneth and Hugo? Could it be that Hugo hurt Gwyneth? Or did Hugo reject Gwyneth? Or was Hugo's attitude angered Gwyneth? What is the relationship between the "chemical reaction" between these two people and Gwyneth and Brad's breakup, and what is the relationship between Hugo and Cameron's breakup?
The countless gossips behind it made the passion of the paparazzi burn. After the premiere on June 1st end, the paparazzi began to concentrate on digging out the story behind this speculation. For a moment, countless imagines were flying all over the sky, making this summer season even more lively.
People don’t know the truth between Gwyneth and Hugo for the time being, but there is no doubt that Gwyneth is indeed not friends with Hugo, which adds a new highlight to the confrontation between "Super Perfect Murder" and "Trumen's World".
After the premiere ended, the hugely different reviews and reputations of the two movies did not directly affect people's expectations for the premiere box office. Because there is such a paradox in the summer commercial blockbusters: movies with poor reputation can also make a big hit in the premiere box office, such as "Batman and Robin". Although the comments are terrible, the premiere weekend still had a $40 million performance. The box office decline after that is naturally earth-shaking. This is mainly because the premiere box office mainly depends on the appeal of the cast and the attractiveness of the film company's early publicity.
During the four days between 1 and 5, the "Super Perfect Murder" was overwhelmingly promoted. The two starring Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow participated in more than 20 publicity itineraries from east to central to west, from south to north to Canada, and almost no time to sleep and can only rest on the way.
In comparison, the publicity of "Trumen's World" is obviously much weaker. Hugo and Nicole Kidman and Alexander Lorraine only attended a few important publicity programs. They first completed the recording of "Tonight Show", and then participated in three radio programs. Then they arrived in New York on Friday to attend the live broadcast of "Today" and held a fan meeting in the square of the live broadcast. That's all.
Although the "Trumen's World" crew gathered more than 3,000 people on the live broadcast of "Today", almost half of Manhattan Island was in full swing, and the momentum was huge, the "Super Perfect Murder" was not weak in its publicity situation, and its performance was extremely strong, completely suppressing its competitors in the same period. This further added suspense to the premiere box office of this weekend.
On June 5th, Friday arrived, and all viewers flocked into the cinemas frantically, enjoying the ease and beauty of the weekend, attracting everyone's attention to the box office battle this weekend. From the violent collision on Friday, to the smoke of Saturday, to the last try on Sunday, the North American film market showed the fanaticism of the summer season, surpassing the previous May in one fell swoop, and truly unveiling the curtain of this year's summer season!
On June 8, the North American weekend movie box office rankings were released!
"Trumen's World" was only released in 2,500 theaters. It can be seen that Paramount is still relatively conservative about the prospects of this comedy drama movie, and does not plan the premiere scale according to the level of the commercial blockbuster 3,000 theaters. But the result proves that Paramount still underestimates Hugo's powerful appeal today, even if it challenges the comedy movie for the first time, it cannot stop the audience from going crazy into the cinema.
The single-player box office of $18,000 has almost reached the first level of commercial films, surpassing the "Man in Black" last year, and surpassing the "Clash of Heaven and Earth" and "Godzilla" before this year. It has become one of the most outstanding large-scale release works in the summer season in the past two years. In terms of single-player results, it is only the "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" that was defeated last year's summer season premiere.
The extremely outstanding single-player box office made the premiere weekend of "Trump World" reach 45 million US dollars in one fell swoop, becoming the best work in the premiere so far this year. This is really something that no one expected, because of the "Clash of Heaven and Earth", "Godzilla" and other disaster blockbusters, and the appeal of these commercial blockbusters is obviously beyond comedy movies. But the result is that "Trump World" achieved the best premiere this year!
Before the release of "Truman's World", people had predicted the premiere results of this movie. Most people were unanimously optimistic that this work could achieve premiere data of 30 million, surpassing works such as "disguised weirdo", "slim dad", and "fat professor" to create a new high in the premiere of comedy movies. But even so, people still underestimated the achievements of "Truman's World" or, to be more precise, underestimated Hugo's influence on the current North American market.
From plot movies to love movies, from action movies to commercial movies, from thriller movies to art movies, and now to comedy movies, Hugo's ability to control movies of various themes has been fully reflected. Putting aside the horror movies that have not started shooting yet, Hugo's ability in different types of works is enough to make him arguably the same as when people mention "Hugo Lancaster" as they mention outstanding actors such as Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, and Catherine Hepburn.
More importantly, different types of works not only won praise from film critics, but also won recognition from certain awards, but also achieved outstanding results in box office. This is precisely one of the most important links in the entire film industry: even for art films, outstanding box office results can further expand the influence of the works.
As the top box office superstar today, Hugo once again changed the historical process of comedy movies with his dominance. Starting from the "Trumen's World", the box office of comedy movies opened the 40 million-level era. This also means that comedy movies are not only representative of small profits, but also have the ability to go hand in hand with other types of movies to become the new force of the summer season. After all, comedy movies can be said to be one of the best choices for family happiness, and their box office potential has not been 100% explored.
But now, the "Trumen's world" has shown this potential!
The 45 million dollar premiere weekend data not only completely defeated the 25 million dollar premiere of "Fatty Professor" but also directly raised the box office history of comedy movies from 20 million to 40 million. This is almost twice the data recorded before, and it can even be compared with the 51 million dollar box office results of "Men in Black" last summer last year, which made the entire North American market exclaim.
Exclaimed the vigorous vitality of comedy movies, exclaimed Hugo's powerful appeal, and exclaimed another miracle in the film market.
Although people have long been accustomed to Hugo's unstoppable momentum, and the release of almost every movie is accompanied by the birth of countless historical records, the record of comedy movies this time still shocked countless professionals. The same is the debate caused by the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" before the release of the movie. The reason why genre movies have become "genres" is because each genre movie is a model formed after years of precipitation of the market. This is not a conclusion drawn by some experts gathered together to discuss, but a choice made by the entire market itself. Therefore, it is never an easy task to break the shackles of genre movies.
Now, "Trumen's World" has almost completely changed the influence of comedy movies in the market, and has also raised the box office capabilities of comedy movies to the average level of other commercial movies. Such achievements are almost comparable to "Independence Day" two years ago.
Especially on "Independence Day", "Titanic" has officially started the era of blockbusters. The outstanding performance of "Trueman's World" once again continued the outstanding performance of "Los Angeles City Secret" and "perfect perfection". Moreover, as a black comedy with a strong irony, "Trueman's World" originally pointed the finger at the inside story of entertainment until death, and now it has received such strong support from the audience, which has once again excited the Hollywood conservatives:
Even though Oscar has sent the "Titanic" to the throne, there are still variables in the changes in history!
Only then did people remember that "Los Angeles Secret" and "Excellent Beauty" each won three small gold men, and they were all important awards from the main departments, and they did not lose at all in the confrontation with the "Titanic". Now, "Trumen's World" has once again continued this pattern, and no one can accurately predict the future development of the film market.
