The "sugar-coated trap" and the two or three things that Hugo Lancaster had to say were pushed to a whole new level after the box office war ended in the first week of July.

At the beginning, Sidney 'Bo' Lac gave up Hugo and Brad Pitt and chose Tom Cruise, in fact, it boils down to believing in Tom's box office appeal, after all, purely from the acting table, Hugo, who relied on "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" at that time, and Brad, who has dedicated two amazing 'glamorous' tables since his debut, are not inferior to Tom.

"Sugar-Coated Trap" got $44 million at the box office in the first five days, which is very good, and it also proves that Tom is so 'outstanding' at the box office, but such a result is indeed overshadowed in the face of the outbreak of "Sleepless in Seattle", not to mention that the eight consecutive championships of the same type of work "Yihai Xiongfeng" are almost an insurmountable gap, which also allows people to see Hugo's strong recovery in the past year.

The Los Angeles Times maliciously quipped, "Sidney, do you regret it?" ”

If the box office battle in the first week of July is still unsatisfying, then the box office war in the second week of July is even more exciting, and what makes people laugh and cry is that the chick movie "Sleepless in Seattle" has become the most remarkable uncertainty in this week's weekend box office war, which is probably a situation that no one can imagine.

New releases in the second week of July are much more lively, with three large-scale new films running in more than 1,500 theaters this week, including Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich's "Sniper in the Line of Fire" (DN). hheline。 of。 fire)" became the favorite to win the championship, and this work relied on "attacking from the bottom of the sea (das. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who won an Oscar nomination for Best Director, with a $40 million investment and 2,000 theaters, is definitely the biggest focus of the week.

The other two films are "The Golden Arm Kid" (Rookieof. hhevear)", "the boss went on vacation to 2 (. bennie，s。 fi), the scale of the release has also reached 1,500, which also makes this week's box office competition pattern show a trend of a hundred 'flowers'.

Of course, the biggest competitors for this week's weekend box office title are "Sugar-Coated Trap" and "Fire Line Sniper", and as for what "Sleepless in Seattle" can dedicate, and what impact it will have on this week's box office rankings, it is the biggest uncertaintie.

When the box office rankings came out on the second weekend of July, almost all the media were unanimously exclaimed "surprise", and the "Los Angeles Times" even used the title of "Shocking Reversal", followed by three exclamation points to express the inner turmoil "waves", because "Sleepless in Seattle" once again created a miracle, stirring up the box office war of the entire summer file into a pot of paste

"Sleepless in Seattle", which ushered in its third week of release, relied on the word-of-mouth of "color" and the charm of the two leading actors, and with a shocking drop of 15 percent, it 'delivered' the box office of $20 million in three days over the weekend, and the cumulative box office reached $85 million in one go

Such a strong table xiàn made "Sleepless in Seattle" counterattack all the way, defeating the premiere of "Fire Line Sniper", surpassing "Jurassic Park", which has reached 240 million cumulative box office, and finally defeating last week's champion "Sugar-coated Trap", and won the North American weekend box office chart in the second week of July with the incredible table xiàn

Winning the box office championship for a week in the summer file is something that countless movies dream of, but in this fiercely competitive battlefield, this is a very difficult task.

However, "Sleepless in Seattle" has done this is the fourth time that Hugo has appeared in the competition ranks of the summer file, and after two fiascos before, Hugo has made people realize with a perfect answer: the 'gloom' haze of the Golden Raspberry Award has completely disappeared, and Hugo is using his 'color' to rank among the top ranks.

The counterattack to the box office champion in the third week of its release is even more difficult than the opening weekend winner, which is not only a victory for "Sleepless in Seattle", but also a historical 'sexual' breakthrough for the chick movie it represents

Everyone knows that "Sleepless in Seattle" is a dark horse, but no one could have predicted that the dark horse would actually sprint to the championship position, not only disturbing the lake, but also making the North American rankings in the second week of July a "chaos" and "chaos" situation

Behind "Sleepless in Seattle", the "sugar-coated trap" that "handed over" a drop of nearly 30 percent won $17 million at the weekend box office, and lost completely in the second week of "Sleepless in Seattle". In fact, a drop of nearly 30 percent is a very "colorful" number for the "sugar-coated trap", but this time it encountered the "Seattle sleepless night" against the sky, and the "sugar-coated trap" could only bitterly 'hand' over the championship that he only occupied for a week.

Perhaps at this moment, Sidney is really thinking about the hypothetical 'sexual' problem of "if Hugo had been ......played in the first place".

"Jurassic Park" continued the strong performance of the previous four weeks, with a slight advantage of 100,000 US dollars, suppressed the "line of fire sniper" and occupied the third place, and this week's premiere of "line of fire sniper" can only unfortunately occupy the position of the palace army.

The huge lineup and high investment of "Sniper in the Line of Fire" turned out to be a squib, which really made the distributor Columbia Pictures very helpless. What's even more intriguing is that Columbia Pictures was not optimistic about "Sleepless in Seattle" at the beginning, and finally 'handed over' to its Samsung Pictures to be responsible for the production, and Columbia Pictures was not too careful in the distribution stage; But now, Columbia Pictures' "Sniper in the Line of Fire", which has poured all its effort and effort into publicity, has been defeated and vulnerable in the "Seattle Sleepless Night" that has entered its third week of release.

The other two new films are also not good, "The Golden Arm Kid" occupies the fifth place, and "The Boss Goes on Vacation 2" only ranks ninth.

There is no doubt that in the second week of July, everyone became the foil of "Sleepless in Seattle", witnessing the feat of this shiny black horse to fight back strongly

At this time, everyone knows that it is no longer a problem for "Sleepless in Seattle" to break 100 million at the box office, but the question is, where will the final box office number of this chick movie fall, and whether it will be able to surpass the current record holder of the highest box office for romantic comedies "Pretty Woman" in 192, which set a super high record of 178 million US dollars in 192?

In the third week of July, although there was "'witch' witch also crazy (hocus. Pomus)" and "Freewi11y" are two new films, but it is clear that both of these works will be difficult to attack the box office champions, and the final result will depend on the table of the top four works on the list last week.

In the face of a relatively flat competitive situation this week, "Sleepless in Seattle" 'delivered' a 25 percent decline, which was the highest number in the previous four weeks. The "sugar-coated trap" table is picking up, and the decline of 26 percent is very 'colorful'; At this time, the "line of fire sniper" finally showed its due courage, and the 14% drop was the lowest among the top 10; The "Jurassic Park", which has unabated momentum, has 'delivered' an answer sheet with a drop of 29 percent.

In this way, the box office rankings in the third week of July are very clear, "Sleepless in Seattle" relied on the advantage of the box office and the steady decline of dìng, and won the North American weekend box office chart champion "Sugar-Coated Trap" for two consecutive weeks, "Fire Line Sniper" overtook the third place, and "Jurassic Park" slipped to the third place.

However, the gap between the top four entries this week is already very small, and the advantage of "Sleepless in Seattle" is only $1.7 million; The advantage of the "sugar-coated trap" over the "line of fire" is only $300,000.

It can be seen from here that "Sleepless in Seattle" is still slightly inferior in the summer file, although relying on the reputation of "color" to stabilize the box office decline in a very "colorful" position, but compared with works like "Jurassic Park", the box office pull momentum is very weak.

Of course, the biggest joy of the week came from "Sleepless in Seattle", which exceeded $100 million at the box office in four weeks after its release, reaching $100 million and $105 million. The main reason why "Pretty Woman in the Moon" was able to achieve an ultra-high figure of 178 million US dollars was that it was a long-term blockbuster and always maintained a steady box office decline, which created a miracle. So, can "Sleepless in Seattle" replicate such a miracle?

Entering the fourth week of July, the situation of romantic movies in the summer season has finally been revealed, and "Sleepless in Seattle" quickly slipped out of position, with a 22 percent drop to bring its weekend box office to $11.5 million, not only behind this week's new film Jenny Jackson (JM). jacksoic。 justice)", and also lagged behind the follow-up box office table xiàn good "Line of Fire Sniper", and only got the third place on this week's list.

But it is worth mentioning that the "sugar-coated trap" was once again pressed by "Sleepless in Seattle" and lagged behind the position of the palace army.

Although it slipped from the champion to the third place, "Sleepless in Seattle" has achieved an incredible two consecutive championships in the summer file, which is still the biggest surprise since the summer of this year, and the cumulative box office of this chick movie has reached 120 million US dollars after five weeks of release.

In an instant, the whole of North America was boiling, could it be that "Sleepless in Seattle" was really going to create a zào miracle? Just like the miracle of the "beautiful woman of the wind and moon" back then.
