Chapter 373 373 Strong Recovery
"Seattle Sleeping Night" won the tiger's food at the summer season with strong players and won the championship for two weeks, which has become the biggest news in this summer season. In terms of the degree of upset this news, even "Jurassic Park" pales in comparison.
What's even more terrifying is that in the confrontation with his direct competitor "Suillet Trap", "Seattle Sleeps" not only lost to Sidney Pollack in the first week at a slight disadvantage to this work carefully created by Tom Cruise, but in the next three weeks they were stalkingly stomping on their opponents in one position, which was too strong.
The performance of "Seattle Night Without Sleeping" is obviously not over yet. The next week's 21% drop made the movie get 9 million US dollars on the three days of the weekend, only behind the newly released "Sun Rising Sun (Sun Lieutenant ng.sun)" and occupied the runner-up position in the North American weekend box office rankings in the last week of July.
The subsequent performance finally returned to normal, "Fireline Sniper" ranked third, and the "sugar-coated Trap" performance also stabilized, surpassing "Jurassic Park" and continuing to rank fourth. It can be said that the most eye-catching thing on the box office list this week was "Seattle Night Not Sleeping". Although "Rising Sun Chasing" won the championship, it was indeed unsuccessful to win the championship of 15 million, and it was not even as good as the box office data of the third week of "Seattle Night Not Sleeping" released.
This also makes "Seattle Sleeping Night" still far ahead in the hot media topic list.
In the first week of August, "Seattle Sleeping Night" ushered in the second topic collision. The "Faith World" that once revealed that Hugo was removed from the cast list due to late audition was officially launched.
In fact, strictly speaking, this collision does not have any meaning, because "Seattle Night Not Sleeping" has entered its seventh week of release, which has no possibility of head-on competition with "Faith of the World" premiered this week. However, the reporters' gossip mentality is still inevitable.
Hugo has become a seed contestant on the list of male protagonists such as "sugar-coated trap" and "Faithlessness". He originally thought that Hugo would use such a commercial blockbuster to once again hit a breakthrough that he could not achieve by relying on "Deadly Moments". However, unexpectedly, Hugo not only failed to become the male protagonist of these works, but also broke the scandal after the Golden Globes incident. As a result, he joined a work like "Seattle Night Not Sleeping" that was not favored by everyone, which is regrettable.
However, almost everyone thought that Hugo's super high popularity accumulated by "smelling fragrance and knowing women" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" was about to become a bubble, "Seattle's sleepless night" fought a beautiful turnaround battle, first scaring "Jurassic Park" out of a cold sweat, and then defeating the "sugar-coated trap" and becoming the second work of Hugo's actor's career with a box office of over 100 million yuan. This indeed once again verified the famous saying "This is Hollywood", and miracles are everywhere.
Therefore, people will naturally look forward to the achievements of "Faith of the World" and are also curious about what kind of answers "Seattle has not been sleeping at night" can deliver.
As a result, "Faith Tianya" won the box office championship this week with $23 million without any suspense, while "Seattle Sleeping Night" once again delivered an ultra-low drop of 24%, winning $6.8 million in three days on the weekend, trailing behind "The Rising Sun" and ranking third on the list.
It has to be said that the box office decline of "Seattle's Sleeping Night" has repeatedly created surprises. Faced with the huge impact of "Faith of Desperate", it has remained firm, allowing people to see the huge potential of this work in the box office. Now, the cumulative box office of the seven-week release has reached 142 million US dollars, and the historical record of "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" seems to be close.
Regardless of the final box office data of "Sugar-coated Trap" and "Faithless", the low-cost love film "Seattle Night Not Sleeps" has delivered a perfect data answer! After "Yihai Shengfeng", Hugo has officially entered the front line with his outstanding performance of "Seattle Night Not Sleeps".
It is particularly worth mentioning that Hugo's pay for "Sleeping in Seattle" is cash plus dividends. Now that the movie has achieved box office success, it also means that Hugo's pay is likely to exceed 8 million US dollars. This is the decisive factor for Hugo to label "first-line actors".
"Seattle Sleeping Night" is still being released, and it has been rumored that Paramount Pictures is preparing to shoot a big production movie and is willing to provide an eight million US dollars in salary to invite Hugo to star. When "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released, it was just a "front line of rumors", but now some production companies have proposed such an invitation. For Hugo's acting career, the real breakthrough was suddenly completed!
However, Joseph obviously was not in a hurry to contact Hugo for a new job, because the performance of "Seattle Sleeping in the Night" has not yet ended, and the highest record of "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" of $178 million in love is still waiting for the "Seattle Sleeping in the Night" to surpass.
"Seattle's sleepless night" did not disappoint the expectant reporters. It fell 15% in the second week of August, 16% in the third week of the year, and 18% in the fourth week of the year, and 16% in the cumulative box office of the movie reached $160 million before the end of August.
Although the box office accumulation rate will definitely slower and slower with the advancement of time, after September, the box office of "Seattle Sleeping Night" actually made a counterattack for two consecutive weeks, up 35 percentage points and 15 percentage points respectively. Then, in the third week of September, it also lost 10%, which also caused the cumulative box office of the movie to rise to 177 million US dollars. The historical record of "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" is within reach!
Sure enough, in the fourth week of September, the historical moment officially arrived. "Seattle Sleeping Night" won 3.3 million box office with a drop of 30%, and the cumulative box office also reached 181 million US dollars. This also marks that "Seattle Sleeping Night" officially surpassed "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" and occupied the top box office in North American film history!
No one could have expected such results. Just like the "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" became popular at the beginning, "Seattle Sleeping Night" instantly exploded with shocking energy when everyone was not optimistic about it. It repeatedly surpassed its own limits, set the historical record of box office data, and eventually surpassed "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" and became the best box office movie among love-type works!
"Seattle Sleeping Night" was released for 14 weeks, breaking the historical record of "Fengyue Pretty Beauty", but its pace did not stop completely. It was released for six weeks after that, and it was not officially launched until the second week of November. The entire release cycle lasted for twenty weeks, and the final cumulative box office figure reached 189 million US dollars!
Although it was a pity that he could not cross the threshold of 200 million US dollars, the box office data of 189 million US dollars exceeded the "Yihai Shengfeng" and became the highest-grossing movie among Hugo's current personal works. This is probably a situation that even Hugo himself could not have expected.
Relatively speaking, "Seattle Sleeping Night" performed a little worse in the overseas market. Although the commonality of love stories makes the movie have a strong appeal in the overseas market, Hugo still lacks some appeal as the male lead, and the radio station's media with American imprint has also made the overseas market resonance with it much weakened. Most importantly, neither starring Hugo and Meg have arranged any overseas promotion schedule, which undoubtedly greatly weakens the box office competitiveness of the movie in the overseas market.
In the end, the overseas market delivered a performance of $140 million, which is much lower than the box office in North America, but it is still a result worth celebrating. This also brought the global box office of "Seattle's Sleeping Night" to a $329 million position. This is not only Hugo's highest-grossing global box office work, but also Hugo's first work with a global box office of more than 300 million.
"Seattle Sleeping Night" with only invested 20 million US dollars, eventually creating an incredible box office miracle, which became a topical work in 1993 to illuminate the light of the whole summer.
Relying on the strong performance of North American box office, Hugo received 10% dividends. Joseph only competed for Hugo to get the right to pay the box office in North America, so Hugo could get a full $18.9 million in dividends, which also made Hugo's final official pre-tax pay data exceed 20 million, and after becoming a group of top superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, another actor with a pay of more than 15 million dollars.
Joseph also joined the ranks of first-line agents overnight with Hugo's strong performance. During the "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle", Joseph showed courage and wisdom to compete for Hugo with an unprecedented contract, which also became Joseph's most eye-catching resume since his career. This also made Joseph earn the first million in his agent's career!
It can be imagined that Joseph will win more and more trust in the position of agent, and Joseph's career will officially take shape.
There is no doubt that the haze in the past six months has completely disappeared, Hugo has officially announced a full recovery, and the clouds brought by the Golden Globes incident have been wiped out, and people's disapproval of "Seattle has not been sleeping at night" has become the driving force for Hugo's strong rebound now, allowing Hugo to soar into the sky.
Under such a situation, people's attitude towards "Schindler's List" has also changed. After all, this movie was originally supported by Steven. Could it be that a serious and heavy World War II movie like "Schindler's List" can also create miracles? Many media have begun to express their expectations.
However, compared to the media cheering for Hugo's strong recovery, many people are in a heavy mood because of the success of "Seattle's sleepless night".
