Chapter 2018 2018 No one can beat

In the third week of June, the highly anticipated "X Files: Conquer the Future" took the lead and scored 30 million US dollars with a box office data of more than 11,000 US dollars, and achieved a good start to live up to expectations.

The 30 million dollar premiere weekend box office cannot be said to be excellent. This result is slightly inferior to the previous three films that won the 40 million weekend championships this summer. Moreover, it has not been able to further climb to the 35 million level, increasing the competitiveness of the movie in this week's box office confrontation. However, this box office data has reached the expectations of 20th Century Fox and the media, allowing the media's predictions to be close together as scheduled.

In fact, the media review of "X Files: Conquer the Future" is only 60% and has barely passed the exam with praise and criticism, but the theater score has reached "b", showing the audience's positive attitude towards the film.

This is also consistent with the media's predictions before the movie was released. As a work derived from a TV series, the audience's support will become the biggest weapon of the movie. The audience gave the "b" evaluation, which also means that the movie will have more achievements in box office, and the subsequent performance is worth looking forward to.

The box office data of 30 million US dollars is better than the previous "Super Perfect Murder" and "Six Days and Seven Nights" and other works. So, is this result enough to defeat the "Trumen's World" in the third week of release?

First, "X Files: Conquer the Future" won the direct confrontation with "Mulan".

After the release of "Mulan", its reputation has not reached the height of "Lion King", "Beauty and Beast" and "Aladdin" works. The media comprehensive review was only 71 points, which is a little different from the expected results. However, considering that the large number of Chinese elements in the movie are far from Western aesthetics, especially in 1998, the United States has very limited understanding of Eastern culture, so it is very rare for the media comprehensive review of "Mulan" to achieve such results. Among them, several authoritative film critics represented by Roger Ebert all gave the movie a high score of 90, which shows the quality of this work.

Due to this aesthetic gap, the box office impact of "Mulan" on the premiere weekend was also weaker than expected. It achieved a box office of 23 million US dollars on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in three days, and the box office of a single studio was only less than 8,000 US dollars, which is far lower than Disney's expectations.

However, Disney cartoons have always been known for their long-term development. The box office driving force after the lengthening of the front can often burst out with amazing energy. In addition, the theater score has reached "b+", it can be seen that the audience's evaluation of the movie is still higher than expected, which also gives people reason to give the movie a more expectation.

The competition between "X Files: Conquer the Future" and "Mulan" was unexpected within expectations, but overall, it still satisfies the expectations of the media. In particular, these two works jointly won more than 50 million US dollars in box office, and have almost occupied half of the entire North American box office market, leaving very limited room for "Trumen's world".

"Trumen's World" continues to advance in the entire social debate frenzy. Paramount once again added 50 venues this week to satisfy the audience's warm expectations. Quite a moment, "Trumen's World" has become the largest work released this week, and it occupies such a height as a comedy movie, which is also a rare scene in the summer season.

Paramount's rhythmic expansion pace proved that it was not a loss of reason, but the audience's gospel "Trumen's World" only lost 20% in the third week of release, sweeping the box office data of $30.4 million in three days over the weekend!

$304 million!

The box office exceeded 30 million for three consecutive weeks. Before he knew it, "Trumen's World" has become the third work in film history to achieve such a result. The first two works are "Titanic" and "Independence Day". Who could have thought of this?

People once imagined that it might be "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", "Godzilla", or "Save Private Ryan" to be released next month, but absolutely no one thinks it would be "Trumen's World". It's not that people don't have confidence in Hugo, but that it is too difficult for a comedy movie to reach such a height.

But now, the "Trumen's World" is constantly accumulating momentum with a stance of sweeping thousands of troops, and further challenging the market dominance of science fiction movies, action movies or disaster movies. The box office decline of the against heaven has created a weekend box office that is against heaven and written a new history of against heaven and heaven. The "Trumen's World" is stepping into the glorious hall one by one!

Last year, "Los Angeles Secret" actually created such a history. At that time, the glory of "Independence Day" was over, and the glory of "Titanic" had not yet arrived. "Los Angeles Secret" carried the banner of traditional retro films, making people deeply believe that visual special effects commercial blockbusters have not truly occupied the mainstream of the market. The stories are first, the pattern is accurate, and the characters are delicate. The works are still the essence of film art.

Now, the "Trumen's World" is at a completely different time point, facing a completely different pattern and environment, but has achieved even more incredible results than "Los Angeles City Secret". The feat of box office exceeding 30 million for three consecutive weeks is not only making "Trumen's World" one of only three works in the history of film that have created such records, but more so that "Trumen's World" is comparable to "Independence Day" and "Titanic" and truly stand on the same level.

Although in terms of box office comparison, "Truman's World" is still a little different from the two commercial films, and this work is difficult to reach the level of 400 million in the end, compared with box office data, "Truman's World" is comparable to the two film history record holders in terms of box office performance.

With the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences making a judgment, "Trumen's World" once again puts the script, role and core first works to the extreme, which not only triggers a wave of social controversy, but also makes people clearly realize that visual special effects commercial blockbusters have inevitably arrived, but wonderful movies that are truly produced with care can still occupy a place in the market, not only film critics, but also audiences are very happy to support them.

As a realistic black fairy tale comedy with a timeless meaning, the achievements of "Trumen's World" in June 1998 were far beyond imagination.

The weekend box office performance of more than $30 million for three consecutive weeks has brought the cumulative box office of "Trumen's World" to $150 million in one fell swoop. Judging from the decline curve in the first three weeks, there is no doubt about the 200 million box office of the movie, which has made all media start to cheer not for Hugo, but for the revival and rise of comedy movies.

Following the strong rise of Jin Carrey, "Trueman's World" has pushed comedy movies to a new height, allowing people to feel the powerful influence of comedy movies at its peak is not only a carrier for making people laugh, but also a way to reflect reality and satirize history. However, with the invasion of commercial factors, comedy movies are losing their original charm bit by bit and gradually declining.

Now, people have seen the wonderful comedy of the peak period from the "Trumen's World" again!

Even if there are many praises to "Trumen's World", people will never be too curious about it. But what people are even more curious about is who is the box office champion of this week's "Trumen's World" and "X Files: Conquer the Future"?

In fact, judging from box office data, the weekend box office of both movies was $30 million, which made it impossible for the exhibition to draw conclusions directly from the estimated box office. We could only wait patiently until the real-time box office statistics on Monday ended and make a judgment. Such fierce and hot competition is rare at any moment.

The premiere of "X Archives: Conquer the Future" was $30.14 million on the weekend, and the third weekend of "Truman's World" was $30.41 million. This also means that "Truman's World" once again won the championship in the North American weekend box office rankings with a slight advantage of less than $270,000!

Three consecutive championships!

"Trumen's World" narrowly defeated "x archives: Conquer the Future", becoming the first work to complete three consecutive championships since the summer season in 1998, achieving the "Godzilla" failed to achieve the results. In addition, in the face of the joint impact of two powerful opponents, it achieved a reunion with a narrow advantage, which made the "Trumen's World" step of creating history become more and more solid and stronger!

In the third week of June, "The World of Truman", "X Archives: Conquer the Future", and "Mulan" ranked in the top three on the list. The box office contributed by these three works together accounted for 70% of the total box office this week. From this aspect, it can also be seen that the fierce confrontation and strong dominance of the three works are.

It is worth mentioning that under the strong squeeze of three works this week, the box office plummeted by 50% again. The weekend box office of less than $3 million only made the cumulative box office rise to 129 million, which is only a short distance from the cost of $130 million. At least Sony Columbia Pictures doesn't need to worry about not being able to recover the book cost.

Since its release for three weeks, "Trumen's World" has shown strong dominance. The champion is almost unrivaled for three consecutive weeks. It is simply incredible for a work with an investment of only 60 million US dollars and is also a comedy work. Such a strong performance is admirable, and it once again demonstrates Hugo Lancaster's strong dominance in the box office market.
