Generally speaking, the most intense competition in summer is May and June, and July has been discovered since the Independence Day period was discovered, which is obviously a place for military strategists to compete for. But relatively speaking, August is always relatively deserted. Firstly, it is because after three months of bombing, the film market has entered a period of fatigue; secondly, August is the real vacation time for most people to leave the city, come to the countryside or island, stay away from the turmoil and complexity, and enjoy leisure time. Therefore, August is generally relatively calm.

Of course, August is always summer season, and it is still very lively than other months of the year.

This August seemed a bit unusual. Hugo-led "Supernatural Sixth Sense" debuted brilliantly in the first week of August. There were as many as four movies premiered in North America in the same week, and three of them had screenings of more than 2,200. In other words, they were even more fierce than the "Supernatural Sixth Sense"!

Considering the horror film attributes of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", even the name "Hugo Lancaster" is difficult to drive more box office markets. The reason is very simple. Unlike action movies, dramas or comedies, some people just don't like horror movies, and they are even afraid and resist, so they can't go to the cinema no matter what.

Don’t forget that when Hugo decided to take on the “Supernatural Sixth Sense”, it almost became the object of ridicule across the United States. Many professionals believed that Hugo was blinded by arrogance. Although the great success of the “Trumen’s World” later made people’s doubts restrain a lot. Even when facing the “Supernatural Sixth Sense”, people were cautious and did not dare to speak out. But it is undeniable that people are still not optimistic about the prospect of the “Supernatural Sixth Sense”.

Therefore, this makes the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" look like a very easy target to attack.

Paramount's "The.thomas.crown.affair" invited the popular "James Bond" Pierce Brosnan to star in the first week of August, with 2,500 theaters; Universal Pictures spent 70 million to create a science fiction comedy "Mystery.men" hoping to copy the success of "Man in Black", and chose to release it in 2,300 theaters in the first week of August; Warner Bros.'s cartoon "The.iron.giant" is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this week, with a 70 million investment, a voiceover by Jennifer Aniston, and a scale of 2,250 theaters, everything looks full of confidence.

Faced with so many challenges, the media believes that the "Iron Giant" is the strongest seed choice for this week's championship battle. Although the prospect of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" is worrying, relying on Hugo's appeal, it should have a hard battle with "Taking Sky Game". After all, Pierce is definitely not an opponent to underestimate. All of this makes this week's North American movie box office rankings full of countless highlights.

According to the media's prior estimates, "Iron Giant" is considered to be a work that has the ability to hand over 30 to 35 million premiere box offices, while the premiere box office results of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" and "Stealing Game" are considered to be around 20 to 23 million, and there will inevitably be a battle between the two.

This prediction continued the previous style of "Trumen's World". Although the media is not optimistic about the prospects of the works, considering Hugo's appeal, the prediction is still relatively pertinent.

The current premiere box office record of horror movies is "Ghost Invasion" released two weeks ago, directed by director Jane De Bonte of "Life and Death Hour". The premiere of 33 million US dollars is currently awesome. In addition, only one horror movie has the premiere box office data that can cross the 25 million threshold "Ghost Invasion 2" released in 1989, with a premiere box office of 29 million US dollars.

Currently, the top three horror movies in the history of film are $260 million for "Great White Jaws", $242 million for "Ghostbusters", and $232 million for "Exorcist". These are also the only three horror movies with box office exceeding the 200 million threshold. The three movies came from 1975, 1984 and 1973, which shows that the peak period of horror movies has long passed.

From this perspective, the media predicted that the premiere box office of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" was not only pertinent, but also very tolerant. This prediction data could rank among the top five or even the top three in the list of premiere box office records of horror films. After many lessons, people always added some caution when making predictions about Hugo's works, especially when the "Trumen's World" just created a brilliant history.

However, even under such a background, even in the case of the collective encirclement of three works with more grand screenings, no one dared to challenge Hugo's powerful momentum. "The Sky Stealing Game", "Mysterious Man" and "Iron Giant" all avoided August 2nd and chose to hold the premiere on other days, because the lessons of history have clearly told them: Putting aside the works, in terms of the premiere of the movie, no one in Hollywood has such ability, and even Steven Spielberg would not make such a choice.

Therefore, on August 2, the premiere of only one work in the United States, "The Sixth Sense of Supernaturalness" was held!

Nearly 400 journalists from more than 180 media surrounded the entrance of the China Theater. Such a grand occasion almost made people return to the Doroth Chandler Hall on the night of the Oscars. Even when "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Threat" held its global premiere, the scale of the scene was just like that, which was shocking.

Many fans who participated in the movie premiere for the first time were stunned by this. They looked at the grand occasion in disbelief and could not make any effective response. This made the other three works that premiered this week unhappy. Although they have been trying to convince themselves that "the premiere relies on Hugo's appeal, which has no direct connection with the work", it is still difficult to suppress the tension and worry in their hearts.

In fact, even the reporters who came to the scene couldn't help but be amazed. This was the "supernatural sixth sense" and not the "Star Wars prequel", but the lively scene was not inferior. This was the first time they really felt the attraction of Hugo in a refreshing and vivid way.

Nicholas McNa quickly walked towards the end of the red carpet and looked for his assistant among the crowd. "Hey, Nick, is there any news?" Nicholas saw someone coming towards him on his right hand and greeted him with a smile. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head, "I have no news."

After saying that, he continued to walk forward quickly, but before he took three steps, two more people came over together, "Nick, you actually asked the assistant to come first. Is there any inside story?" Nicholas could only smile bitterly again and shook his head, "I hope there is an exclusive, but the answer will be revealed when he appears?" Nicholas signaled to the two of them and continued to move forward.

In the crowd, I finally saw my assistant. Standing next to me was James Lat, a reporter from "US Weekly", Nicholas quickly met him and quickly explained, "Quick, put my camera on, and they will arrive at the scene in ten minutes at most."

Without any stop, everyone started to get busy. After the busyness was over, Nicholas began to aim at the camera and observe the light and environment at the scene. The assistant standing next to him looked at James, then looked at Nicholas, and finally couldn't help it, "Nick, is there any news?"

Nicholas glanced at his assistant speechlessly, "This is the 21st person asked me the same question after I arrived at the scene." The assistant laughed embarrassedly, but the expectant gaze still did not waver. Nicholas opened his mouth, but found that James next to him had leaned over, and a moment of helplessness surged up, "I have no news, Joe doesn't answer the phone, and Samora doesn't answer the phone, so don't ask me again."

The little assistant had no experience and was full of disappointment on his face, while James chuckled, "I think with Hugo's personality, he shouldn't deliberately avoid it, because he knew we would definitely not let him go."

"What if he was worried that we would blur the focus, not pay attention to the movies, but concerned about the gossip news, and deliberately sang against us?" Nicholas asked back, which made James choke and his face full of helplessness.

Everyone is concerned about the same question: Will Hugo appear on the red carpet with Charlize today? This is the first public event after the two of them confirmed their relationship. People were looking forward to the release of "Beautiful Hearts". At that time, the two of them will definitely appear together, but now the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" is the first to appear, so naturally no one is willing to miss it.

This is also one of the important reasons why the news media who arrived at the scene today is so exaggerated. As time goes by for the premiere red carpet, everyone is becoming more and more anxious. Just as James and Nicholas guessed, almost everyone is trying to guess Hugo's thoughts. Even if everyone knows that Hugo will reveal the answer after a while when he walks on the red carpet, he still has no way to control his excitement and excitement.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the end of the red carpet, and Nicholas and James both looked at the end of the red carpet. At this time, the premiere had not officially begun. Their first reaction was that producers Catherine Kennedy or M-Knight Shamaran appeared on the red carpet, which was considered to be preheating the red carpet. But unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw a black extended luxury car parked at the beginning of the red carpet.

Before everyone could continue to speculate, the air at the scene suddenly condensed, and then reached the boiling point in an instant, bursting out astonishing energy like a storm. The roars of more than a thousand movie fans in the audience tear a black hole in the entire sky, and the endless red sunset poured down, like a Milky Way Falls, roaring.

It was Hugo that appeared! And... Charlize!
