"& Macaulay Culkin's career as an actor has come to an end.

This may be the judgment of this talented child in Hollywood at the moment, because of the insatiable greed of his father, known as the "watchdog of hell", major studios have begun to dislike dealing with Macaulay, even if he is considered the most popular child star in Hollywood at the moment.

In 1994, Macaulay had three films about to be released, and his salary in all three films was as high as 8 million dollars, making him the highest-paid child star in Hollywood. But that's all, the arrogant and unreasonable Macaulay, coupled with the money-hungry, unearned, and insatiable Culkins fighting endlessly for Macaulay's huge fortune, plus Macaulay's two works starred last year were very average at both the box office and word of mouth, so Macaulay gradually disappeared from the list of major production companies.

At the beginning of the year, I finished filming "Master Richie. After that, Macaulay had not received a new script for half a year, which was impossible in the past two years, and Macaulay's father did not realize this at this time, and he was choosing a better work for his son, but Hugo's knowledge of history clearly showed that this was the end of Macaulay's peak period.

After that, Macaulay waited until 2002 to return to the stage, but by then it was poisonous. Addicted, he no longer has the aura and cuteness of his childhood, and he has completely reduced to a third-tier actor.

But that's all in the future, Macaulay has two more films to be released in the second half of the year, and "Ghost Move" is just his first work in 1994, so Yiqiē looks very good, and both Macaulay and his parents are working very hard to promote "Ghost Trick" - this work has brought Macaulay eight million dollars in remuneration.

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

Although everyone knows that Macaulay's father Christopher a Kit a Culkin (Christopher. ‘kit’。 Culkin is a stupid mad dog who will have a convulsion in front of the media from time to time, but this time Kitt's remarks are clearly absurd remarks instigated by the "New York Post", which really makes people scoff, and the media not only did not give the "New York Post" any support, but also sneered at Kit as a "frog at the bottom of the well".

Hugo's final salary for filming "Speed of Life and Death" was 6 million, not 8 million as originally discussed, this is because Hugo took the initiative to reduce the salary in order to save the budget of the crew, but the box office dividend has risen to 12 percentage points, which can also be seen The crew's trust in Hugo's box office appeal.

Only an ignorant person like Kitt would think that Hugo's salary of six million is a ridiculous number, strictly speaking, Hugo's "vulgar" salary is even lower, only $250,000, but obviously Hugo and other actors who take $250,000 are not on the same level at all.

But the "New York Post" now has no way out, they can only "let out" Kit, let Kit bite like a mad dog in front of the media, despise Hugo, and at the same time, let more attention be focused on the "little ghost". The New York Post can only hope now that Macaulay, the greatest child star of the 20th century after Shirley and Dumbo, can once again unleash his magic and explode at the box office to complete the sniping of "life and death".

Therefore, on the one hand, the "New York Post" stimulated Kitt behind the scenes, made him make a lot of nonsense, and attracted media firepower; On the one hand, he praised the "little ghost move", and even conducted an exclusive interview with Macaulay, pushing the publicity momentum as much as possible to attract more audiences.

It's a pity that the facts have proved that propaganda is always just a means, the audience is not a fool, and it is the work itself that really determines the outcome or defeat. "Ghost Move" still continues the style of the "Home Alone" series, but apparently the audience is no longer buying it.

Macaulay's magical charm has been squandered in the "Home Alone" series, last year's two works have shown fatigue, this time the "Devil Move" is a failure, the premiere scale of 2,000 theaters, the result of a single box office did not even break through 3,000, and the final opening weekend box office income of only 5.5 million made the investor MGM Pictures and the distributor Universal Pictures extremely bitter, and the "New York Post" was even more speechless.

As for the third weekend of "Life and Death", as predicted by all the media, there was no challenge at all, as evidenced by the hot ratings of "The Tonight Show".

"Life and Death" paid just four percent of the box office loss this week, leaving all the media screaming, with the Chicago Tribune headline "Macaulay: Dad, Why Don't You Buy Tickets to My Movie?" It became the biggest laugh of the week, and Kitt's remarks before this became the focus of ridicule in major media.

This made Kit angry and scolded in the media, but there was nothing new in his remarks, and he repeated the glory of "home alone" over and over again, which is not worth mentioning.

Compared to Kit, the box office decline of "life and death" can really be worthy of adjectives like "terrible".

With a box office drop of four percent, such a number is worth celebrating no matter which movie or time period, let alone in the third week of the movie's release, which is even more staggering. No one will forget that "Life and Death" grossed $27 million last week, and after deducting the 4% drop this week, it means that "Life and Death" earned $25.9 million in three days this week!

The week before, the New York Post also pinned its hopes on the box office drop of more than 80% this week, and an avalanche occurred; However, the media professional evaluation believes that the decline of "Life and Death Hour" this week will definitely not exceed 35%, and now, "Life and Death Speed" has handed over a perfect answer sheet with the most direct and effective box office figures!

Just a drop of just four percent, what does that mean? It shows that competitors have not put any pressure on the "speed of life and death" at all, whether it is the newly released "Little Ghost Move", or the ferocious "Wolf", "City Hillbilly 2" and "Modern Primitives" that came last week, they have not been able to make trouble for the "Speed of Life and Death", on the contrary, because of the bad reputation of all newly released movies in four consecutive weeks, all audiences have flocked to the "Speed of Life and Death" screening venue, thus creating this incredible miracle!

In the face of such a decline, Kitt's extravagant rhetoric has an even more comedic effect, and the "little ghost move" barely has any impact on the "speed of life and death", as if it were paper paste, and before he had time to make physical contact, he was already ruined. This became one of the most joyful comparisons in the third week of June.

The box office of the premiere for three consecutive weeks reached the level of 20 million, which is undoubtedly the most sensational thing in the North American film market, which has also become the second work in North American film history to exceed 20 million weekend box office for three consecutive weeks after "Jurassic Park", and the third weekend box office of "Life and Death" is second only to "Jurassic Park", ranking second in North American film history!

At this time, people discovered that "the speed of life and death" had quietly begun to record the history of sword filmmaking, and it was a blockbuster on the opening weekend, ranking eighth in film history; The next week's box office only trailed "Jurassic Park", "Batman" and "Home Alone 2", rising to fourth place in film history; The box office in the third week continued to chop waves, and only the mountain of "Jurassic Park" was left in front of it, and the box office of the third week weekend ranked second in film history!

Can anyone have predicted such a strong result of "Life and Death"? None of them! Not even Hugo!

With a weekend box office of $25.9 million, there was no competitor at all, and "Life and Death" easily completed three consecutive championships in North America! Such a powerful enough to make any competitor frightened, originally thought that people were bullying the soft persimmon, but it turned out to be a powerful peerless master, which made a lot of competitors miserable, knowing this, they would not touch this mold, but now, it is too late.

Under the pressure of "speed of life and death", "Wolf" broke out a box office decline of 35 percent, barely reaching the passing line, but unfortunately the box office fell behind a little in the first week, and a little behind in the second week, the gap has been further widened, and the cumulative result of 37 million US dollars in two weeks makes Columbia Pictures really unable to relax; And "Modern Primitives" and "City Hillbilly 2" also fell by as much as 40% at the box office.

In the third week of June, the top five box office players were "Life and Death", "Wolf", "Modern Primitives", "Urban Hillbilly" and "Imps".

With the box office number of the more brave the war, "Speed of Life and Death" has already exploded in the same period of the third week of "Terminator 2", and the box office of "Terminator 2" in the third week is only less than 15 million, which is not a small gap compared to "Speed of Life and Death", which can be seen from here The impact of critics and audience praise on long-term blockbusters.

Before that, the "New York Post" was still a dead duck and absolutely refused to admit defeat, but the shadow of failure still could not be contained, and they only lasted another week, and they did not even wait for the strong attack of the "Lion King" next week, and watched "The Speed of Life and Death" cross the threshold of 100 million US dollars.

The box office drop of 11 percent in the second week and 4 percent in the third week made the "New York Post" have no power to fight back, and in just three weeks, it has been completely defeated!

The box office gamble is out and out, quickly surpassing everyone's imagination: what about the stakes? (To be continued [Provided].)
