If someone does a cost statistics, they will find that since he won the Golden Raspberry Award and reached the lowest point in his career, Hugo has never been willing to take over the big production. The highest cost of his past six works was the 33 million "Yihai Xiongfeng", which is also the only work with a cost of more than 30 million yuan. This time, the "Pulp Novel" has even set a new low, and the investment of only 8 million US dollars can only be considered a fraction of the big productions.

If someone does a box office statistics, they will find that among the six works of Hugo in the past three years, except for the "Pulp Novels" that are being released, the box office of the other four works has been rising steadily. The lowest is the 80 million North American box office of "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", and the highest is the 239 million just created by "Start of Life and Death". Five consecutive works are wrong, which should include "Pulp Novels", which are all profitable, with four consecutive works exceeding 100 million, and two consecutive works exceeding 100 million.

After comparing these two sets of data together, a result that shocked everyone but was natural: Hugo is the most profitable actor in the United States in the past three years! At the same time, he is also the most cost-effective actor, and this data is almost unrivaled.

Not to mention that Hugo's maximum pay has not exceeded 6 million, just saying that the book cost and box office revenue is enough to make people jealous. Not to mention that people have not counted the peripheral income of these six works. These movies are particularly popular in the video tape market.

From this perspective, it is no surprise that the recent 20 million yuan pay is booming.

Such an extremely cost-effective actor not only has strong appeal but also has solid acting skills, but also is also a heartthrob who is popular all over the United States. It is normal for major film companies to flock to it. On the contrary, it is abnormal.

In the first week of the release of "Pulp Novel", Hugo's myth continued, creating a new record of October film history premiere, becoming the focus of major media reports at the first time. Coupled with the increasingly fierce "two million" battle between Universal Pictures and MGM Pictures, and Hugo, who disappeared from the European continent, all of this made a special phenomenon in the year of 1994's collection of masterpieces: October, which was unattended, became an important footnote to the classic name in 1994.

The third week of October followed, became the solo dance platform for "pulp novels".

The "Love Story" adapted from "Golden and Jade Alliance" is obviously intended to replicate the glory of "Seattle Night Without Sleeping" last year. Warner Bros. invited the most famous talented and beautiful women group Warren Beatty and Ante.bening, ante.bening, and Catherine Hepburn's cameo, which is a gathering of stars.

Warren is a famous director and actor in Hollywood. A "male and female thief" made him an epoch-making pioneer. After winning the best director Xiao Jinren in 1981, he became the most talented representative of Hollywood. However, compared to his talent, his style, flow, rhyme and events of "sleeping more than ten thousand people" are even more famous.

But such a talented man and love saint have turned aside because of Annette, the representative of acting rookie who has risen strongly in the past three years, and are willing to enter the marriage hall. Although Hollywood is not optimistic about this marriage, Hugo knows that twenty years later, they are still holding hands and are the most enviable couple in Hollywood.

"Love Story" can be said to be a work specially prepared by Warren for Annette, who made a comeback after giving birth. Warren served as the producer and personally played the leading role, and asked Warner Bros. to invest $60 million! It can definitely be said to be coming in full force.

But it is such a "love story", a "love story" that tries to copy the successful "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle", and a "love story" with an investment of 60 million yuan and a gathering of stars, but it has become a stepping stone for "pulp novels" and witnessed the birth of history with one's own eyes.

The decline in the next week of "Pulp Novels" is obviously not too high. From the comments of film critics, the audience's reputation can be predicted, but 20% of the general predictions are still too conservative. Box office experts obviously did not predict the popular appeal of "Pulp Novels". The remembrance and praise of retro culture in the movie awakened the long-standing memories of countless audiences and received countless resonances. Or in other words, box office experts underestimated the "uncertainty factor" of Hugo.

Nine percent! After the second week of the release of "Pulp Novels", the theaters increased by 150 times, the weekend box office data of 15.3 million yuan made a 9% decline in a terrible decline. This is simply... extremely brutal.

You should know that two weeks ago, the "bomb expert" created a new record for the weekend of October in film history, which was only 14 million. "Pulp Novel" has not only broken this record for the premiere box office, but also broke this record for the next weekend. This has simply made all languages ​​pale and powerless. Even the most gorgeous rhetoric cannot describe the miracle created by "Pulp Novel" this week.

Miracle, yes, this is a miracle. Apart from miracle, there is no word that can express the shock of the North American film market at this time.

Under such rough box office data of "Pulp Novel", "Love Story" was directly exposed to be incomplete. The premiere of $5.4 million can be declared to be completely lost in advance. This result can only be ranked third this week; the "bomb expert" ranked second again lost 30% of his blood, and the weekend box office has dropped to 5.4 million, and only defeated "Love Story" with an advantage of less than 30,000 US dollars and ranked second.

"Pulp Novels" have no suspense, no challenges encountered, and they can easily win the championship again!

The autumn season has always been indifferent, so once a strong work appears, the entire film market will become the one-man show of that work, and there is no object to be found, which is completely different from the summer season. Now, "Pulp Novels" are performing its one-man show!

In the fourth week of October, the "Stargate" invested $55 million was released in 2,000 theaters. This movie, released and produced by MGM, was originally intended to be released in the summer season, but the competition this summer season is too fierce. After carefully weighing the trade-offs, MGM could only arrange the work to the autumn season, hoping to achieve unexpected good results in this off-season.

But who knows that "pulp novels" came out of nowhere.

However, MGM's recent hype is obviously still useful, and "Cosmic Shock" was originally qualified to compete in the summer season, so its competitiveness can be seen from this. Sure enough, after the release of the movie, it quickly became the focus of attention in this off-season in October. Although it cannot be compared with "pulp novels", it is still a hot topic.

After the premiere of "Cosmic Story", it won a box office of $16 million in three days on the weekend. This result will undoubtedly break the two consecutive championships of "Pulp Novels" and won this week's weekend box office champion. People were shocked that there seemed to be many strange things in October this year. First, the "Bomb Expert" exploded once, and then the "Pulp Novels" exploded for two consecutive weeks. Now it's the "Cosmic Story" turn again.

Although the weekend box office of 16 million did not break the record just set by "Pulp Novel", it still surpassed the "bomb expert" and is the second best result in the premiere of film history in October. Moreover, it is not much different from the record of "Pulp Novel", which is really amazing.

However, "Cosmic Strike" invested 55 million yuan, but its premiere box office was no match for "Pu Novels". From this perspective, we can also see the strength of "Pu Novels".

Under the squeeze of "Cosmic Strange", the box office of "Pulp Novels" inevitably declined. Because the autumn season is indeed the off-season, the entire movie box office market is limited. In other words, the audience who are willing to enter the cinema during this period has dropped sharply, unlike the summer season. The more fierce the competition, the more audiences they enter the cinema.

In the autumn season, the audience in the cinema is a fixed circle. After the "Cosmic Strike" snatched away the audience's source, the "puff novel" was naturally squeezed.

This week, "Pulp Novels" directly exposed a "huge" decline of 30%. Although this result is gratifying for any movie, it surprised people for "Pulp Novels" that have created miracles for two consecutive weeks.

In the end, "Pulp Novel" won $10.7 million in the third week of its release, ranking second after the "Cosmic Shock"; "Bomb Expert" and "Love Story" ranked third and fourth respectively.

Although the 30% drop exceeded expectations, "Pulp Novel" still shocked everyone with a weekend box office of tens of millions for three consecutive weeks. The continuous explosive power of three consecutive weeks is absolutely amazing. This is also another miracle created by Hugo after "life and death speed" exceeded 20 million for four consecutive weeks.

Relying on such achievements, "Pulp Novel" relies on its phenomenal performance in just three weeks of its release, bringing its cumulative box office to 57 million US dollars!

This is completely incredible for an independent film. What is even more interesting is that if the subsequent decline of "Pulp Novels" can be controlled properly, the film seems to still retain the hope of hitting the threshold of 100 million.

Independent films achieved a box office of $100 million? This is an unprecedented feat; Hugo's five consecutive movies have exceeded $100 million? This is an unprecedented record.

Whether the box office of "Pulp Novels" can cross the 100 million threshold immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Is it Hugo's rapid progress on the road to creating history or a slow breath on the journey of creating miracles? Although the box office of "Pulp Novels" is now extremely outstanding, people are still involuntarily curious about such a result.
