A "Sleepless in Seattle" actually created such a strong popularity effect, which is really not expected by all professionals, mainly because this is not a work that can maximize the charm of the actors, "Terminator" made Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" made Harrison Ford, "Home Alone" made Macaulay Culkin...... But "Sleepless in Seattle" doesn't seem to have reached such heights.

The professionals then carefully analyzed the violent repercussions caused by the KCRW radio station and came up with such a result. First of all, we must emphasize the expansion effect of the radio station, "Sleepless in Seattle" as a work that builds a bridge of love through Guò radio, when Hugo appeared on the radio program, the audience's support for Hugo undoubtedly reached a new height, which is the biggest reason why the effect of the talk show is so exaggerated.

Secondly, thanks to the nature of the theme of the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", everyone originally thought that it was a stupid decision to put a love movie in the summer, but now it seems that it was an unexpected achievement for Hugo. In the summer file full of men, sweat, fights, and explosions, the warmth of "Sleepless in Seattle" is like a porridge dish, attracting a large number of audiences who are tired of watching men's commercial blockbusters. In the movie, Hugo, as a representative of men, occupies the position that should have belonged to the summer file.

Finally, it must be admitted that the shaping of the diagonal "color" in love movies has become the emotional sustenance of the audience. Just like Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts became American sweethearts all over the United States because of chick movies, no one will forget Jì Richard Geel's popularity after "Pretty Woman", and for a time became the best representative of the Diamond King, and now Hugo has also relied on the affectionate and considerate and humorous good man image in "Sleepless in Seattle" to capture the hearts of countless audiences.

In addition, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, the foreshadowing of the two works of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea", Hugo has a third masterpiece in less than eight months, which makes the popularity of "one plus one is greater than two" chemical effect.

On the whole, Hugo's sudden rise in KCRW radio and his explosive popularity is an inevitability of a coincidence, which is almost impossible to replicate. Moreover, the "Sleepless Seattle" fever "tide" can only last for a short time, after all, the influence of the film is still not enough, if Hugo wants to consolidate the super popularity won this time, he must look at the results of the next work, and the "next work", this is the nightmare of almost all actors, the continuous success of the work is never an easy task, otherwise the top actors would have been everywhere now.

Of course, no matter what experts say, one thing is irremutable, and in the week following the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo's popularity is like the scorching heat of July, constantly pushing people's limits.

After the super popularity of KCRW radio station continued into the second week, the box office of the second week weekend, which decided the life and death of "Sleepless in Seattle", is also about to be released.

During the opening weekend, Sleepless Seattle's biggest competitors were undoubtedly Adam Naughty and Jurassic Park, but it was clear that Sleepless Seattle wasn't able to put enough pressure on Sleepless Seattle, but that changed in the first week of July.

Directed by Sidney Wave, starring Tom Cruise, and written by Robert Downey, the $42 million "Sugar-Coated Trap" was created in the first week of July.

The first week of July is the Independence Day holiday in the United States, and it is also one of the most obvious box office pull schedules in the summer file, because there will be a statutory holiday on Independence Day, so generally the works released in this schedule will choose to premiere in advance, and then the first week will be fully released for five days, which is different from the general situation where movie premieres choose Friday and the first week to be released for three days.

Therefore, the works that can choose to hit the Independence Day schedule are generally works with strong box office appeal, and "Sugar-Coated Trap" obviously meets such a standard, especially Tom Cruise, who is known as the box office elixir, which makes people feel confident in this work.

Although "Sugarcoat Trap" is the only new work released during this year's Independence Day holiday, it will definitely not be inferior to the momentum of "Jurassic Park" in terms of topic 'sex', especially this work and "Sleepless in Seattle", which made many reporters gossip and blood boiling.

The preparation process of "Sugar-Coated Trap" can be said to be a "wave" and three twists and turns, although it is not as tormenting as "Schindler's List", but the casting process has exploded a lot of fierceness.

For example, Hugo Lancaster and Brad Pitt launched a 'fierce' competition for the male lead, which was also the third head-to-head duel between the two after "River Love" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", but no one expected that when Brad had this role "color" in the bag, Tom Cruise killed it violently and won the role "color" at the last moment.

For another example, Hugo's dating partner Uma Thurman once infinitely 'pressed' the position of the 'female' protagonist of this work, especially after Hugo was eliminated, Umma's call to join this work became louder and louder, but after the Golden Globe Awards, things changed abruptly, Uma was defeated, and Jenny Triprihorn took the position strongly. And not long after that, the news that Hugo and Uma had stopped dating went viral.

These are just the flashpoints on the surface, which are enough to make people think about it, and now the "sugar-coated trap" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are facing each other, and the topic of 'sex' is even more exciting.

In fact, from the perspective of the work itself, "Sleepless in Seattle" is the second week of release, and "Sugar-Coated Trap" is the premiere, which has no competition for 'sex', after all, "Sleepless in Seattle" is not "Jurassic Park"; Secondly, "Sleepless in Seattle" only invested 20 million, and it is a chick movie that is not suitable for the summer season, but "Sugar-Coated Trap" is a big investment of more than 40 million, and it is still the hottest courtroom movie in the past two years

No one will forget that at the end of last year, stepping on the east wind of the Rodney Jin incident, "Yihai Xiongfeng" created eight consecutive championships; And in April, the second-instance verdict of the Rodney King affair had come down, and under strong pressure from the media and the White House, four police officers. Even I, who was primarily responsible for the investigation, was found guilty and the other two were acquitted.

However, when the federal court sentenced in accordance with the law, it moved a little compassion, considering the special 'nature' of this incident and the fact that the two police officers' actions occurred after the arrest of the parties, so they showed mercy when sentencing, and this time they stabbed the hornet's nest again. Civil rights groups across the country are demanding another appeal.

So, in this legal 'tide', whether the "sugar-coated trap" can borrow the east wind is really exciting.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the box office showdown between "Sugar-Coated Trap" and "Sleepless in Seattle" is not a heavyweight at all, but it can't withstand the wanton rendering of the news media, and almost all the attention is locked on the box office table of these two works this week.

In the first week of July, the "sugar-coated trap" released in 2,400 theaters across the United States hit strongly, with a box office of $11 million and $9 million on June 30 and July 1, respectively, and $24 million in the following three days of the weekend, and a total of $44 million in the first five days.

In the face of the huge pressure of the "sugar-coated trap", "Sleepless Seattle", at the insistence of Columbia Pictures, actually added 50 theaters for screening, obviously with strong confidence in the film's "outstanding" reputation, and finally the film got $23.8 million at the box office in three days over the weekend, a drop of only 7% from the box office of the previous week, which can almost be said to be flat

This kind of situation is really unimaginable to everyone, and the "Sleepless in Seattle" that entered the second week of screening "delivered" an excellent answer sheet with a 7% decline, and the weekend box office only trailed the "sugar-coated trap" by 200,000 US dollars, which made Paramount "Mon" Pictures, which was determined to achieve a box office success, break out in a cold sweat: if they were not careful, the box office champion of the opening weekend was about to leak out of their hands, which was really terrible.

Although it is said that "Sugar-Coated Trap" was screened for five days in the first week, and the box office of the three days on the weekend was diverted by the previous two days, so the weekend box office of the director zhì will definitely not be able to burst out with such a powerful number as the opening weekend of "Jurassic Park", but the united "Sugar-Coated Trap" was actually 'forced' so wolf by a chick movie that no one is optimistic about, which is definitely the most exciting news in the first week of July

The powerful energy of "Sleepless in Seattle" exploded in the second week of its release, and even "Jurassic Park", which was the first on the hot topic list this summer, was willing to bow to the wind, with an ultra-low drop of 7% to set a weekend box office of $23.8 million, and in the two weeks of release, the cumulative box office of "Sleepless in Seattle" has reached $6,300, and it seems that it is effortless to cross the threshold of 100 million 'door', such a strong contrast makes the entire film industry an exclamation.

In the box office rankings of the first week of July, although "Sugar-Coated Trap" was crowned the top of the North American weekend box office charts as desired, ending the triple crown of "Jurassic Park", while "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Jurassic Park" were second and third respectively, almost everyone's eyes were focused on "Sleepless in Seattle".

Losing by $200,000 behind the champion, beating the third-place king by more than $5 million, the second week of the release of "Sleepless in Seattle" was so "colorful" that all words lost its "color" color, so can "Sleepless in Seattle", which has been the runner-up under great pressure for two consecutive weeks, continue to create a miracle in the third week?

Suddenly, the media that had not been optimistic about "Sleepless in Seattle" before that also began to look forward to it, witnessing the counterattack of the weak, which is a rare anecdote.
