156 premiere box office
The fiery reviews of the first batch, the liveliness of the first day of screening, and the madness of the first containment all seem to indicate a bright future for "Yihai Xiongfeng" at the box office.
The next day, Hugo's besieged by more than 100 movie 'fans' made the front page of "USA Today", and such a lively first-day release scene became the most prosperous scene on the weekend of the second week of December, which was also not expected by most media, after all, the holiday season composed of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is more competitive at the box office than the holiday films are family-friendly holiday films, and "Yihai Xiongfeng" is not a holiday masterpiece.
Facing the grand occasion on the first day of the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng", the authoritative magazine "Hollywood Reporter" in the film industry expressed its own opinions in the film review of the movie.
"There is no doubt that 'The Heroes of the Righteous Sea' is a film that belongs to Hugo and Lancaster, and even Jack Nicholson's 'fine' and brilliant performances cannot overshadow the style of Lancaster.
After experiencing the brilliance of the "Dead Poets Society" and the low "fan" of "Hudson's Eagle", Hugo relied on the "fine" color performance of "smelling the fragrance" of the female "person" a month ago to return to people's sight, and this time the performance of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is even more applauded, not only announcing that Hugo ended his three-year low "fan" and re-exuded a dazzling light in his acting skills, but also pushed Hugo to the position of a popular idol in one fell swoop.
Twenty-five-year-old Lancaster, his handsomeness has never been deniable, and his talent in acting also has many shining points, but it was not until the recent release of two consecutive masterpieces that Lancaster's charm truly bloomed.
He is angular, his eyebrows firm, free and uninhibited; He is funny and humorous, with a sunny smile and picturesque eyebrows; His slightly raised eyebrows, neat and bright teeth, his toned waist, and his sassy and heroic gesture of swinging his 'stick' on the court have all made countless 'women' blushing and their hearts shaking, and they could not control themselves.
What kind of 'fine' color is it for a fledgling lawyer to challenge the cruel military regulations and meritorious high-ranking officers who are full of shady military regulations and finally bring them to justice; what kind of righteousness is it to persevere to the end under the tremendous pressure of the future and life from cynicism to enlightenment; what kind of courage is it to be brave and strategic, virtual and real, interlocking and step-by-step?" What kind of wisdom is it to force an arrogant colonel, in a fit of rage, to take the initiative to admit the truth in court, which has been buried forever under the corpses of innocent people.
It is not so much that 'Yihai Xiongfeng' has made Lancaster, but that Lancaster's Daniel-Cafe has achieved 'Yihai Xiongfeng', and his every move makes this movie exude the charm of 'fascinating' people, conquering the audience and conquering the 'fans'.
As the "Hollywood Reporter" said, if "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" is not a movie that expresses Hugo's charm, then "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" vividly shows Hugo's personal charm, and it can be seen from the reaction of the young 'women' represented by Melerin that Hugo relied on this movie to become the most watched man in December in one fell swoop, shaking the hearts of countless 'women'.
"Yihai Xiongfeng" is not a circle movie, but Hugo's Daniel and Cafe have successfully attracted the love of countless fans, and after the foreshadowing of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", Hugo completely swept away the 'gloom' haze of the Golden Raspberry Award, ushering in the first peak of Hugo's career as an actor!
The compliments of the reviews, the cheers of the fans, and the energy condensed in and out of the box office, allowed Hugo to enjoy a treatment that he had not been able to get since 1982.
On the second weekend of December, in addition to the two new works that will be screened, "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" and "The Muppet Christmas Carol". muppet。 christmas。 car01)" are two films released this week, the former needless to say, and the latter by the 1986 Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Michael Kane (arsenic. e) The lead actor, although only invested 12 million dollars, is an adaptation of Charles Dickens. The scale of the 2,100-theater release also shows the confidence of Disney, the production and distribution company. So the two premiere movies are bound to have a dragon fight.
In addition, "Home Alone 2", which has won the championship for three consecutive weeks, has unabated momentum, the topic of "Bodyguard", which has been released for two weeks, is still powerful, and the animated film "Aladdin (A1Addin)", which has won many word-of-mouths, has entered the third week of expansion, which also makes the box office competition this week particularly 'fierce'.
In the previous predictions of major media, it is generally believed that "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Muppet Christmas Carol" will have a "fierce" fight, and the possibility of "Home Alone 2" winning four consecutive championships is still there, "Bodyguard" and "Aladdin" are two dark horses, and there is no doubt that the champion will be born among the top five this week, but who will win the championship, the media have their own opinions.
However, after the release of the movie, the ultra-high quality and strong attraction to the audience of "Yihai Xiongfeng" surprised the media, and finally released in 1,900 theaters "Yihai Xiongfeng" actually broke out a single box office of 15,000 US dollars, and grabbed 28.5 million US dollars at the box office in the opening weekend, easily defeating a group of competitors to win the North American box office chart this week, which really made the entire City of Angels covered with spectacle fragments.
The $28.5 million premiere result, although it did not surpass the number of premieres of "Home Alone 2" and did not cross the threshold of 30 million, it was the fifth best film at the box office this year after "Batman Returns", "Home Alone 2 Little "Lethal Weapon 3", and "4......00 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror" in 1992. Of the top four works, three are sequel films, and one is produced by the much-anticipated Francis-Ford and Ke 'Bo', and the number of premieres jù is almost unsuspenseful, so the number of premieres of "Yihai Xiongfeng" jù becomes more and more incredible.
Before the release of the film, whether it was the official forecast of Columbia Pictures or the professional predictions of major media outlets, the most daring speculation about the box office of the premiere of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" was only 15 million US dollars, not only because many media questioned the quality of the film or the lead actor of Hugo, but also because this is a strict courtroom movie, it is not so easy to achieve the first few JÙ - not to mention that the crew also lost Tom Cruise, the box office star.
But who would have expected that "Yihai Xiongfeng" exploded with such amazing energy in the first week of release, which not only shattered everyone's speculation, but also became the first work in Hugo's career to break through the 10 million 'door' threshold at the box office in a single week, which is really a surprising achievement.
In the face of the strong performance of "Yihai Xiongfeng", not only the media exclaimed, but also sang praises for Hugo, praising Hugo for ushering in his first peak since his debut ten years ago, and truly becoming a first-line star; Competitors are even more slumped.
This week, except for "Yihai Xiongfeng", none of the works has exceeded 10 million at the weekend box office, "Home Alone 2", "Bodyguard", and "Aladdin" are caught in the quagmire of 'fierce' competition, ranking second to fourth in the box office list respectively, and the gap between them is not more than 500,000 US dollars, which shows that the competition is 'fierce'.
As for "A Mupple Christmas Carol" in a high expectation, 2,100 theaters only contributed $5 million to the box office, which is really disappointing, although compared to its investment of 12 million, this premiere number is still acceptable, but as one of the witnesses to the birth of "Yihai Xiongfeng", it is difficult for Disney to "show" a smile at the box office of "A Muppet Christmas Carol".
It is worth mentioning that the "Smelling Fragrance 'Woman'" who entered the ninth week of its release 'handed over' $3.5 million in three days over the weekend, occupying the seventh place in the box office rankings, which makes Hugo have two works on the list at the same time, which is indeed a rare sight.
It's no wonder that the media are rushing to give Hugo praise. It's a remarkable feat to have two films in two months' time, especially when Hugo won the Raspberry d'Or in January. And now, both movies have been successful, and both word-of-mouth and box office are hard to grasp together, not to mention that such results are compared with Hugo himself, even compared with Tom Cruise, which is currently in full swing.
The haze of the past three years has finally completely dissipated at this time, Hugo not only was not overwhelmed by the bad luck brought by the Golden Raspberry Award, but also relied on his own efforts to reach the height that he had not touched before, and the real meaning ushered in the first peak of his career, but it can definitely be called the Christmas miracle of 1992.
When the media analyzed the reasons why the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" was so 'colorful', it inevitably mentioned several key points, the first is the boiling of the Rodney One Gold incident, which makes people more interested in court-themed movies, and at present, when the truth is unclear, everyone is willing to believe that Rodney One Gold is Dawson and Doni in the movie, and the white policeman. Cha is the high-flying Colonel Jessup, and this emotional sustenance makes the box office explode with amazing energy.
The second is Hugo and Lancaster, who climbed new heights after falling into the trough, and this kind of experience always makes people more interested; The foreshadowing of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'female' person" coupled with the high exposure rate of intensive publicity in two months has made people pay more attention to "Yihai Xiongfeng", at least in terms of attendance on the premiere weekend, "Yihai Xiongfeng" occupies an innate 'sexual' advantage. If it was Tom and Cruise, maybe "Yihai Xiongfeng" would not have such a 'outstanding' result, not because Tom's box office appeal was not enough, but because he did not occupy this time and place.
Of course, the highlights of the box office number of the premiere do not mean that the movie will be successful, and the tragic box office plunge of 50% in the second week of the release of "Vampire Zombie Horror ......" is still vivid, and the box office decline in the second week of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has also become the next object of people's attention.
However, fortunately, the second batch of film reviews after the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released, which still brought good news. It seems that Hugo is indeed climbing the first peak of his career.
