Chapter 903: 903

Macaulay Culkin's acting career has come to an end.

This may be the judgement of this talented child in Hollywood at present. Due to the greed of his father, known as the "Hell Dog", major production companies have begun to hate dealing with Macaulay, even if he is considered the most popular child star in Hollywood.

In 1994, three movies of Macaulay were about to be released, and his pay for all three movies was as high as 8 million US dollars, making him the highest paid child star in Hollywood. But that's all. The unreasonable Macaulay, coupled with the unreasonable Macaulay, who was fond of money and earned nothing for nothing, and the insatiable Calkins and his wife fought for the huge property of Macaulay. In addition, the two works that Macaulay starred last year were very average in both box office and reputation, so Macaulay gradually disappeared from the list of cooperation among major production companies.

After filming "The Young Master Weiwei Kuo (Japan Chie.Japan Chie)" at the beginning of the year, Macaulay has not received a new script for half a year. This is impossible in the past two years. Macaulay's father did not realize this at this time and made a big spoiler to the outside world. He is choosing better works for his son, but the history that Hugo knows clearly shows: This is the end of Macaulay's peak period.

After that, Macaulay waited until 2002 to return to the stage, but at that time, he was addicted to poison and no longer possessed the aura and cuteness of his childhood, and he completely became a third-tier actor.

But that's all for the future. This year, Macaulay has two more works to be released in the second half of the year. "The Little Devil's Action" is just his first work in 1994, so everything looks beautiful. In order to promote "The Little Devil's Action" Macaulay and his parents worked very hard. This work brought Macaulay's salary of $8 million to Macaulay.

Last week, McAuley's father made a big fuss in an interview, "Hugo's salary is only six million, and he and Mike are not on the same level at all."

Although everyone knows that McCauley's father Christopher Kit Culkin (Chjistopher.'kit'.culkin) is a stupid mad dog who will occasionally get fucked in front of the media, this time Kit's remarks are clearly absurd remarks that are incited by the New York Post. It really makes people sneer. The media not only do not give the New York Post any support, but also mocks Kit as a "frog in the well."

Hugo's final pay for "life and death speed" was six million, not eight million at the beginning. This was because Hugo took the initiative to reduce the pay for the crew to save budget, but the box office dividend increased to 12 percentage points, which also shows the crew's trust in Hugo's box office appeal.

Only ignorant people like Kit would think that Hugo's pay of 6 million is a ridiculous number. Strictly speaking, Hugo's pay for filming "Pulp novels" is even lower, which is only 250,000 US dollars, but obviously Hugo and other actors who earn $250,000 are not on the same level at all.

But the New York Post now has no way out. They can only "release" Kit, making Kit bite people like a mad dog in front of the media. While despising Hugo, they can also focus more attention on "the little devil's move". The New York Post can only hope that Macaulay, the greatest child star in the 20th century, can once again blossom his magic, burst into a powerful box office, and complete the sniper of the "speed of life and death".

Therefore, on the one hand, the "New York Post" stimulated Kit behind the scenes, making him speak loudly and attracting media firepower; on the other hand, he praised the "little ghost's moves", and even conducted an exclusive interview with Macaulay, pushing the publicity momentum as much as possible and attracting more audiences.

Unfortunately, the facts prove that publicity is always just a means. The audience is not a fool, and it is the work itself that really decides the outcome. "Little Devil's move" still continues the style of the "Little Devil's Home" series, but it is obvious that the audience no longer buys it.

Macaulay's magical charm has been squandered in the "Hometown" series. Last year, the two works have shown signs of fatigue. This time, the "Hometown's move" was even more defeated. The premiere scale of two thousand theaters, but the box office of a single museum did not even exceed 3,000. The final premiere weekend was only 5.5 million yuan, which made investors MGM Pictures and distributor Universal Pictures extremely bitter, and the "New York Post" was speechless.

As for the third weekend of "life and death hour", as all media predicted, there was no challenge at all, and the popularity of "Tonight Show" was the best proof.

"Life and Death Hour" only paid 4% of the box office losses this week, making all media scream. The news title of the "Chicago Tribune" "McCauley: Dad, why don't you buy tickets to watch my movie?" became the biggest laugh point this week. Kitt's previous remarks became the focus of ridicule of major media.

This made Kit angry and cursed in the media without any choice, but his remarks were nothing new, and the glory of "the little devil's head" was repeated over and over again, and it was not worth mentioning.

Compared to Kitt, the box office decline of "life and death" is really worthy of the adjectives like "terrible".

The box office decline of four percent, no matter which movie or time period, such data is worth celebrating, not to mention that it is even more amazing in the third week of the movie's release. No one will forget that the box office of "life and death hour" last week was 27 million US dollars, and after deducting four percent of the decline this week, it means that the "life and death hour" has won 25.9 million US dollars in three days this week!

The New York Post held its hopes in the week before that the box office decline of the "speed of life and death" this week could exceed 80%, and an avalanche occurred; however, the media professional reviews believed that the "speed of life and death" this week would definitely not exceed 35%. Now, the "speed of life and death" delivered a perfect answer with the most direct and effective box office numbers!

What does this mean by a drop of only four percent? It shows that the competitors have not put any pressure on the "speed of life and death". Whether it is the newly released "little ghost move" or the fierce "wolf" that has been fierce last week, "City Countryside 2" and "Modern Primitive Man", they have not been able to cause trouble for the "speed of life and death". On the contrary, because of the poor reputation of all newly released movies in four consecutive weeks, all viewers rushed to the "speed of life and death" screening venues, creating this incredible miracle!

Faced with such a decline, Kit's lyrics were even more comedic. "The little devil's move" hardly had any impact on the "speed of life and death", just like paper, and before there was time to contact the body, he was destroyed. This also became the most funny comparison in the third week of June.

The box office of the premiere reached 20 million for three consecutive weeks, which is undoubtedly the most sensational thing in the North American film market. It has also become the second work in North American film history to have a box office of more than 20 million for three consecutive weeks after "Jurassic Park". The third week of "life and death speed" has a box office of only second only to "Jurassic Park", ranking second in North American film history!

Only then did people realize that the "speed of life and death" has quietly begun to set records in film history. It made a stunning debut weekend and ranked eighth in film history. The box office in the second week was only behind "Jurassic Park", "Batman" and "Home Imperial 2", and rose to fourth in film history. The box office in the third week continued to slash the waves, and the only mountain in the "Jurassic Park" was left in front. The box office in the third week was second in film history!

Can anyone predict such a strong achievement of "life and death speed"? No one! Even Hugo can't!

The weekend box office of $25.9 million, there was no competitor at all. The "speed of life and death" easily completed the three consecutive championships in North America! Such power was enough to make any competitor scared. The soft persimmon that was originally thought to be bullied by people, but it turned out that it was a powerful peerless master. This made all competitors suffer. If they had known this, they would not have been bad, but now it was too late.

Under the pressure of "life and death speed", the "Wolf" broke out with a box office decline of 35%, barely reaching the passing line. Unfortunately, the box office fell a little behind in the first week and a little behind in the next week. The gap has been further widened. The accumulated results of 37 million US dollars in two weeks made it impossible for Columbia Pictures to be relaxed; and the box office declines of "Modern Primitive Man" and "City Rumbrella 2" were as high as 40%.

The top five final box offices in the third week of June are "Speed ​​of Life and Death", "Wolf", "Modern Primitive Man", "City Country Boy" and "Little Devil Take a Trouble".

With the box office data of becoming more and more courageous in the battle, the performance of "Life and Death Hour" in the third week has already outperformed "Terminator 2". The box office of "Terminator 2" in the third week is only less than 15 million, which is quite different from "Life and Death Hour". From this we can see the impact of the praise of film critics and audiences on long-term sales.

"Speed ​​of Life and Death" has broken through the 100 million threshold in three weeks after its release, and has come to the 110 million threshold in one fell swoop. Before that, the "New York Post" was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat, but the shadow of failure still came to Colin Meller's head. They only held on for another week, and they were unable to wait until the strong attack of the "Lion King" next week, and watched the "Speed ​​of Life and Death" cross the 100 million threshold.

The box office decline of 11% the next week and 4% the third week made the New York Post no fight back, and it was defeated in just three weeks!

The box office gambling game has been decided, and it quickly exceeded everyone's imagination: So, what about the bet?
Chapter completed!
