Chapter 2158 2158 The momentum is unstoppable
On January 23, the 57th Golden Globe Awards grand program was filled with stars on the red carpet, but I still didn’t see Hugo, nor did I see Charlize Theron. This is the eighth time Hugo has missed the Golden Globe Awards in a row. People have long been accustomed to it and even no longer hold any hope.
The Golden Globes seemed to have completely given up their efforts. In the results of the award, the crew of "Beautiful Mind" and "Supernatural Sixth Sense" were wiped out, and everyone returned empty-handed, Hugo was the first to win, and neither of them could win. In the competition for the best actor in the plot category, Denzel Washington lost to the "Hurricane" and the showdown of the best screenwriter was lost to the talented Charlie Kaufman, who won the first prize with his debut work "Puppet Life".
Even in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress Department, "Beautiful Mind" both lost. Leonardo lost to Tom Cruise of "Magnolia", while Charlize lost to Angelina Jolie of "Soul Moving Girl".
The best movie in the plot category was won by "genius Ripley", while the best director fell into the pocket of Michael Mann, the director who "shocked the inside story". The winner of the Best Movie Soundtrack Award was "The Sea Pianist (the.legend.of.1900)."
"Beautiful Mind" has a big hot stove, but seven nominations have not been received, becoming the biggest unpopularity of the Golden Globe Awards this year; what is even more incredible is that all awards were won by different works, such as "genius Ripley", "shocking insider", and "puppet life". Even the box office "Man on the Moon" won the best actor avatar in the music comedy category for Kim Carrey.
Such a Golden Globe Award is indeed shocking, and the Oscars held two months later became uncertain. However, this result coincides with Hollywood's recent remarks. The popularity of "Hollywood cancer" is becoming more and more prosperous. It seems that people hate Hugo's achievements overnight because they are too jealous of Hugo's achievements, and then unite to resist Hugo's dominance at least to stop Hugo from continuing to sweep the pace in the awards.
But even so, the box office trend of "Beautiful Mind" has not been affected at all. Even Princeton University, MIT and Harvard University all admire this movie. Many professors watched the movie. Although they scoffed at the portrayal of John Nash in the movie, John's persistence in mathematics was widely recognized. Especially Princeton University, their image in the movie was very positive and won praise from the school, which was also the result that Hugo did not expect when he wrote the script.
The better the box office of "Beautiful Mind", the higher the hatred value of "Hollywood Cancer"; but the more popular the discussion of "Beautiful Mind", the better the box office of the movie. This seems to be a vicious cycle and cannot be solved at all.
After Denzel defeated Hugo and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the Drama category, many viewers expressed regret, and some even thought that Hugo was treated unfairly. As the "Empire" magazine said, Hugo's performance in "Beautiful Mind" is a pinnacle. His performance almost shines through the entire big screen, but he failed to win the award in the end. This is really ridiculous.
This has triggered a new round of movie viewing frenzy, and the audience seems determined to support Hugo with practical actions.
In the cold winter season, it is indeed difficult to find an opponent for "Beautiful Mind" and this was unexpected. In the competition where the weekend box office is generally lower than 6 million, the weekend box office of "Beautiful Mind" with more than 10 million US dollars is completely invincible. It is like a group of featherweight contestants trying to challenge the heavyweight boxing champion, not at the same level at all. Therefore, "Beautiful Mind" has stepped out of a god-level box office curve, from the first unexpected champion to three consecutive championships to five consecutive championships, the upward momentum has shocked everyone.
It was not until the first week of February that the emergence of "Scream.3" ended the continuous championship momentum of "Beautiful Heart".
As one of the most classic and successful series of horror films in North America, the "Scream" series ushered in its third this year, and an investment of up to 40 million US dollars is unimaginable for horror films. However, during this summer, the outstanding performance of horror films such as "Scream of Supernatural Sixth Sense", "Witch Blair", and "Ghost Invasion" gave "Scream of Scream 3", especially the first two films of the series have accumulated a large number of fans, and the box office of the movie will surely make a difference.
Therefore, "Scream 3" was screened in a total of 3,500 theaters, creating a new record for large-scale releases in the winter. It can almost be called a giant in this deserted period, and its strong premiere has triggered countless discussions. After just experiencing the roar of the Golden Globes, the market finally showed a hint of warmth in the cold winter, responding to the prestige of this classic horror series with a premiere of 34 million US dollars.
Faced with such excellent performance as "Scream 3", even the highest box office in "Beautiful Mind" could not compete with each other. Although he naturally handed over the championship throne, even so, the decline of the movie was still controlled within 25%, and it was not affected too much by competitors' grabbing the market.
After being ended for five consecutive championships, the weekend box office of "Beautiful Mind" still performed well, especially after the Oscar nomination list was announced, the atmosphere of the entire awards season was slowly pushed to the peak. The box office of "Beautiful Mind" became more and more courageous, and even achieved a 20% increase for two consecutive weeks. The ability to drive box office was not inferior even in the summer season. In addition to the first week's preview, "Beautiful Mind" had a weekend box office of more than 10 million in the next nine consecutive weeks. This level is comparable to a commercial blockbuster with excellent results. "Beautiful Mind" is just a biographical movie with an investment of 60 million.
In the fourth week of February, "Beautiful Mind" earned $14 million in weekend box office growth with a box office increase of 31% and returned to the runner-up position in the North American weekend box office rankings for the second consecutive week, only behind the newly released "The.whole.nine.yards", which officially crossed the cumulative box office of the movie by 200 million, temporarily reaching $205 million.
This also officially killed all suspense, and the "Beautiful Mind" has become a record of the box office of Hugo's five consecutive works that exceeded 200 million since "Independence Day"!
In 1994, "Pulp Novel" was released, achieving a box office of 172 million US dollars, making Hugo the first actor in film history to have a box office of over 100 million yuan. Unfortunately, "Before Sunrise" released later failed to continue this record. Soon after, Tom Cruise also relied on the great victory of "Mr. Sweetheart" to tie this record, truly achieving the glory of box office superstars.
What's even more rare is that Hugo and Tom both starring in five consecutive works have a box office of over 100 million, proving their strong box office appeal.
At the time of the transition of the 20th and 21st centuries, Hugo rewrites this record himself, with five consecutive works exceeding 200 million US dollars, including three works with a box office of 300 million US dollars. In the 1990s, 100 million US dollars is still the average standard for measuring the box office of the work, while 200 million US dollars is undoubtedly a box office victory. Hugo actually achieved such a high box office in five consecutive works, and achieved this feat in a stable and balanced manner.
It is not difficult to obtain five works with a box office of over 100 million or over 200 million, especially after entering the 21st century, the entire North American film market ushered in a box office explosion. The Marvel movie adaptation series, including the "Harry Potter" or "Twilight" adaptation series, can allow a group of actors to achieve this feat. But the most rare thing is that these are five consecutive works, and five works within four years. At the same time, four original movies and one adapted movie are so difficult that even using "myths" to describe them cannot express inner shock.
This not only creates history, but also an unsurpassable record for the long time to come. Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr., Jennifer Lawrence, and a group of young idols who emerged from Marvel movies have not been able to achieve this feat. This is a miracle in the long history of North American films, and is almost considered a miracle that can never be copied.
The most important thing is that Hugo's pace still has not stopped. Perhaps there is also the sixth and seventh part... The only one who can break the record is always himself. This absolute dominance that is extremely cold at a high place is, no one can feel it, and it is even extremely difficult to get close to it, except Hugo.
The box office of "Beautiful Mind" exceeded 200 million, not only writing a piece of history, but also setting an eternal and insurmountable benchmark, making the name of "superstar" unattainable and shining. Under the brilliance of the superstar Hugo Lancaster, no one can deserve the title of "superstar". In the long river of history, he can also be regarded as a unique superstar not only because of his box office appeal, not only because of his achievements in various awards, not only because of his glory to death, not only because of his strong album sales, but also because of his unparalleled influence on the entire society. This is definitely a unique and unique part in the long river of history!
The box office of five consecutive movies exceeded 200 million, which is an incredible record, but behind this record is Hugo's strong dominance over the film market and its profound influence on society, which also makes Hugo the only artist in film history who can truly match the title of "superstar".
Now, when you look back at the work "Beautiful Mind", it may be Hugo's pinnacle. It not only witnessed Hugo's best performance in his career, but also achieved the final glory before the end of the 20th century, and became a milestone for Hugo to reach the top of the superstar. Now when you look back at the 1992 Golden Raspberry Awards, everyone will probably smile knowingly. Sometimes life is so unpredictable.
