Climb to the top 1000 and fight in the air
"&" "" "" " , or more accurately, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have posted to Hugo -
But either way, the whole market is boiling, and even though people know that there is no way for a movie that has been released for four weeks to compete with a film released in the first week, they are still looking forward to such a result with great interest, and even if there is no way to form a head-to-head confrontation, the two works can fight each other in the air. For example, if you compare the premiere box office of "" and the premiere box office of "", the competition at the box office in the same period is much fairer.
At this moment, people seem to ignore the fact that "" is a film with only 8 million dollars at an investment, and "" is still in 2,600 theaters at a cost of 60 million - almost twice as much as "vulgar".
Objectively speaking, it's a heavyweight and lightweight battle. However, people did not find it strange or abnormal at all, but were full of interest, and from this aspect, it can be seen that the strong momentum that has formed since the release of "" has been in theaters for four weeks, and even a work of this level must be careful.
Whether this is media hype or the audience's after-dinner conversation, the confrontation has finally come, and "" has finally premiered!
The first-round showdown is the first to go: media word-of-mouth.
After its release, it aroused extreme praise from the media, and the "", who has always been quite harsh on Hugo, praised the work and gave it a perfect score of 100 points - this is the same evaluation as "", which also gives people a preliminary glimpse of the camp choice of "USA Today". In addition to this, "Empire" magazine also expressed its appreciation with a hundred points.
At the other extreme, there is a strong disdain for ""and", and the evaluation of only 40 points almost criticizes the work to the fullest. This makes people have to make up their own brains and fantasize about the hidden message behind this film review.
Comparatively, magazines such as "The New York Times", "Chicago", and "Rolling Stone" all gave a score of 75, which is neither high nor low, indicating their attitude.
In the end, the comprehensive evaluation of 19 media outlets was only 59 points, which is really different from the 95 points of "".
The second round of matchups followed: actor evaluation.
The evaluation of Brad and Tom by major media is quite interesting, and the evaluation focused on Tom is mainly amazing, and almost all the media said that they did not expect Tom's interpretation of the role to be so good and wonderful, which can be called the biggest highlight of the movie; The evaluation focused on Brad was sexual. Most of the media believe that Brad has taken the advantage of his looks to the limit, and perfectly shows the pale and elegant, evil but good vampire.
The media believes that the "flower and moon appearance" of the two leading actors really adds a lot of color to the movie. But the discussion of acting is a little inferior, Tom works hard, but after all, he lacks a little spirituality; Brad has been reduced to the title of facial paralysis, and the general opinion is that he has not been able to interpret the inner struggle and delicacy of the character, and the poor heat is not a little bit.
Obviously, whether it is Tom or Brad, they are still far from the current Hugo in terms of acting talent, ability and other aspects. This can be fully felt from the audience, from film critics, from actors' predecessors, from awards and other aspects.
The third round of the showdown is obviously the audience's evaluation.
The theater score of "" is as high as "A+", which is obviously an impossible number to surpass, but "" has also achieved "A" feedback, which is undoubtedly a comprehensive victory for a high-investment film. In this link, the two sides are considered to be tied.
The fourth round of matchups can start with popularity.
The two male protagonists created the image of pale but charming vampires, who became popular all over the United States overnight, and Brad was even more powerful, and was considered a new generation of sex. Feeling the male god, it is enough to compete with Tom. At the same time, the chain reaction of the vampire subculture triggered by this movie has also begun to take shape, and it is foreseeable that although the film has not yet passed the score in the mouth of critics, the audience is very much buying it, and it is bound to produce a special group of fans.
As for "", it has set off a retro trend, whether it is clothing, restaurants, music, dance, etc., it has caused a frenzy. What's more, the way movies are shot has had an immeasurable impact on the entire film industry.
Therefore, the former increases the popularity of the actors, and the latter enhances the popularity of the work.
The final round of matchups is naturally the top priority, the box office.
Before the box office of the second weekend of November was released, "" Although it lagged behind in the media comprehensive evaluation, it still relied on the overall effect to make huge waves, and it still had a fight with "". Perhaps, "Night Interview with Vampires" will not become a benchmark like "Vulgar", but it will still be able to occupy a place in 1994. Of course, the history that followed proved it.
There is no doubt that the duel between Tom, Hugo and Brad is not groundless, even if there is an element of media hype, it is still quickly accepted, and it immediately became the hottest topic after people's dinner. Choosing one of these three top male actors has become the focus of everyone's enthusiasm: even if they are also men, they can pick the one they admire the most.
Such a follow-up effect is obviously far beyond the imagination of the media, which not only makes the media very proud, which shows the effectiveness of their work; At the same time, it also surprised the media, this topic was originally just for their hype, but it was unexpectedly popular, which also strengthened their idea to continue digging.
The most interesting thing is that Brad's "amazing remarks" at the premiere became the main firepower of the media to create a breaking point, and reporters thought that Brad was bound to be violently attacked, and judging from Hugo's current popularity in North America, Brad was definitely guilty of public outrage. In fact, whether it is Brad's performance in "", or Brad's current qualifications and achievements, including Brad's past defeat in several head-to-head duels with Hugo, have become the focus of people's attacks.
But when Brad saw the news, he responded quickly the next day - Martin Baum was the agent who not only clarified his remarks, but also apologized in a very friendly manner, and also cordially praised Hugo.
Under Martin's operation, this remark spread rapidly, and the rumors were stifled in the cradle at the first time. On top of that, Hugo wasn't in the U.S. at the time - he was still on vacation, so the reporters had no choice but to escalate the conversation further and watch Martin's efforts go to naught.
So, the first wave of attacks against Brad quickly subsided. Reporters are not in a hurry, anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future. Then, everyone focused their attention on the box office.
"Released in 2,600 theaters, it actually grossed nearly $14,000 per theater, and swiped an incredible $34 million opening weekend box office, easily setting a new record for the November premiere box office in North American film history.
Obviously, 1994 was a year in which records were constantly being broken, even in the autumn stall known as chicken ribs.
Although it is said that "" 60 million US dollars is invested and the publicity is extremely huge, it is still surprising to be able to achieve such an excellent premiere box office. Compared with the $16.8 million earned at the premiere, it is definitely not inferior.
Purely in terms of the number of jù, "" is naturally better, and the box office of a single hall actually exceeds the number of 12,000 US dollars of "", which is really incredible; However, objectively analyzed, the subject matter, cost, cast, publicity and other aspects of the two, the results can be said to be comparable.
This really stimulated the adrenaline of countless audiences, and all the viewers couldn't help but be even more excited, the confrontation between these two movies of different levels was really formed! And the dominant "" didn't get too many advantages, and the recent "" didn't be able to beat the opponent completely, which made the audience excited.
So, in the second week of November, when """crushed the box office of 34 million US dollars", what kind of results did """ achieve at the same time?
"I responded with an incredible drop of 15 percent: even if "no matter how strong I am against the sky, I can still easily cope with it!"
The 15 percent drop in the box office eventually resulted in a weekend box office figure of $8.3 million, which further raised the cumulative box office of "" to $79 million, and the box office of 100 million is already beckoning. The "vulgarity" that came to the fifth week of the release and the fierce "" of the premiere directly confronted each other, and they definitely did not fall behind, which is the strong demeanor that people sighed, which naturally made the competition between the two works more and more fierce and exciting.
The battle between "and" and "" can definitely be called wonderful, which makes everyone watch it with relish, which has also become the biggest highlight of the chicken rib autumn file, which is a situation that all film companies did not expect.
While everyone was talking about the exciting showdown between the two films, Disney seemed a little sullen because of their release of "Santa Claus." santa。 clause) "Reduced to a spectator, no matter what tricks Disney uses, there is no way to shift the focus, so you can only sit on the sidelines and do it in a hurry, which is really a tangled situation.
