162 The power of the Eight Crowns

In the second week of January, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that "Hugo Lancaster joked in an interview with KQED Radio that he had never received a single love letter, and that even in his most handsome twelfth grade, no 'woman' or 'sex' took the initiative to confess to him." Within 72 hours of the live broadcast, KQED received 23,000 love letters to Hugo from all over the United States, and the program team has repeatedly stated in the live radio broadcast that they will personally 'hand' these letters to Hugo, and will interview Hugo for the first time.

Obviously, the whole of America is caught in a kind of "obsession" virus called "Hugo Lancaster", and countless "women" are screaming to have a handsome and domineering boyfriend like Hugo. At the same time, Yihai Xiongfeng, the birthplace of this hot "tide", also relied on high-quality word-of-mouth to control its box office decline to a very low level, and defeated the increasingly brave Disney animation masterpiece "Aladdin" to win the top spot in the North American box office charts for the fifth consecutive week. ”

As the "San Francisco Chronicle" said, after the cumulative box office reached $1009 million in four weeks of release, the footsteps of "Yihai Xiongfeng" still did not stop, and then won the championship again with 14 million, accumulating his championship weeks to five. In fact, in such a cold season as January, only "Aladdin", an animated masterpiece produced by Disney, is able to attack the box office champion position of "Yihai Xiongfeng". However, the strong 'strong' expression of "Yihai Xiongfeng" also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Although the box office of "Yihai Xiongfeng" fell by as much as 42% this week, "Aladdin" got a box office of 9 million US dollars in the eighth week of its release, but it was still not enough to pull "Yihai Xiongfeng" down, and he could only witness "Yihai Xiongfeng" ride the wind and break the "waves" to create a miracle of five consecutive championships.

In the third week of January, the Seattle Times (the. seattle。 "Hugo, who had just returned from a vacation in Malibu, was accidentally recognized by the crowd when he was shopping in a large supermarket a few days ago, and there were more and more onlookers, resulting in the siege of nearly 300 people, which caused a big 'chaos' and 'chaos' of supermarket security and order.

Hugo obviously didn't expect a new world to be ushered in after a three-week vacation, and he arrived at the supermarket without doing much protection, so a movie fan knocked his hat off, causing a disaster. Hugo was forced to hide in the men's bathroom for forty-five minutes, until his agent teamed up with eight security guards to maintain order at the scene, and then rescued Hugo from the miasma of the bathroom. ”

&ouain。 "Hugo drove into a gas station to refuel on the way back to Los Angeles in Malibu, but was accidentally identified by gas station employees, which caused a siege of gas station employees and customers, and more than 30 people blocked the gas station's operation."

Then four family cars arrived at the gas station, and when they were queuing, they learned that Hugo was in the local area, and they got out of the car to join the blockade team. When the reporter arrived at the scene, the gas station was surrounded by as many as fourteen vehicles, while there was a long queue of more than twenty vehicles on the highway waiting to enter the gas station to refuel.

This accident caused a three-hour traffic jam on the East Pacific Coast Avenue, and the police had to let Hugo take the lead. The car left the scene, and then dredged the bad 'traffic' of the scene one by one.

It is worth mentioning that Hugo was accompanied by Uma Thurman, who Hugo had publicly admitted to dating not long ago, and it is not difficult to speculate that Hugo and Uma must have spent a very good time in Malibu, and their relationship is constantly warming. It's just that neither of them expected that the road back to the city would be easier than that of the 'Easy Rider. rider), Billy and White were a lot harder. ”

In the third week of January, "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Aladdin" fought together, and finally "Yihai Xiongfeng" defeated "Aladdin's" 11 million with 13 million, and completed the terrifying six consecutive championships in the eyes of everyone!

In the fourth week of January, the "Los Angeles Times" published a report, "In the past two months, the fever of naval uniforms has spread to every corner, according to incomplete statistics, the proportion of naval uniform customization has climbed by seven percentage points in two months, which is an unprecedented situation, and the 'tide' of joining the army caused by 'Top Gun' is now once again because of the strong 'Yihai Heroes' has come to the American soil."

Hugo Lancaster's navy uniform style in 'Yihai Heroes' is known as the most fashionable and handsome men's style in l992, and Batman's superb equipment is much inferior. The image of the officer and the "baseball" boy created by Hugo have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have become the most fashionable outfits in the streets and alleys of Los Angeles.

It is foreseeable that the effect of the 'Yihai Heroic Wind' and the 'tide' is now just the beginning. ”

In the fourth week of January, driven by the 'tide' effect of the surrounding heat, "Yihai Xiongfeng" once again defeated "Aladdin's" 8 million weekend box office with 10 million, completing a jaw-dropping seven consecutive championships, while "Aladdin" continued to hold its position as runner-up.

"Who can stop 'Yihai Xiongfeng' from continuing to win the championship?"

This is a headline written by the New York Times on Monday of the fifth week of January, "At a time when public opinion is not optimistic about the film's prospects, 'Yihai Xiongfeng' has exploded with an amazing energy that leaves everyone speechless." At present, 'Yihai Xiongfeng', which has won the championship for consecutive dagger weeks, has become the work with the most consecutive championship weeks after the 12th consecutive championship of "Home Alone" in 1990, and even on the historical rankings, the number of consecutive championship weeks has also been recorded in the top 10, which is a result that no one expected!

So now, who can stop 'Yihai Heroes' from continuing to win the title? 'Aladdin', which constantly bursts with great energy, always seems to be missing a key force, and there is no bright spot that can compete with the infinite charm of Lancaster, so this classic cartoon always sadly follows the 'Yihai Heroes'.

Under the leadership of Victor Hugo, the record-breaking 'Yihai Heroes' has attracted countless audiences to the cinema again and again to support the film, so will there be a sniper in the North American film market this week? Maybe this week's new title, 'Sniper,' would be willing to give it a go

"Sniper" is made famous by Tom Berenger, who made a name for himself with works such as "Field Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July". Berenger), in the deserted 'spring' season, it can be said to be a high-profile work, and everyone is looking forward to this work to achieve good results and see if it can impact the momentum of the "Yihai Heroes".

But the wish is beautiful, the reality is "cruel", the "Sniper" failed to block, "Yihai Xiongfeng" continued his winning streak to the eighth week with a dagger million dollar weekend box office, while the sad fate of "Aladdin" continued to struggle in the runner-up position with 6.4 million yuan, and the weekend box office of "Sniper" 500 daggers and 100,000 yuan occupied the third place.

The wish of the "New York Times" finally failed, and the news media throughout the United States witnessed the glorious rise of the "Yihai Heroes" and the birth of Hugo!

It is worth mentioning that "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'" once again counterattacked to the fourth place position with a box office of four million US dollars, and Hugo starred in two of the top five alone, which is really an incredible achievement, and you can also see the popularity storm set off by Hugo at the end of 1992 from this side!

In the first week of February, the media finally welcomed a new face to the champion, and as many as 33 media outlets reported the news for the first time,...... Yihai Heroic, ending the eight-consecutive crown dynasty, 'Heavy Weapons (loaded. on。 1) Become a Dragon Slayer!"

In an instant, "Heavy Weapon" became the most watched new work in February, and the two-month-long strong work of "Righteous Sea Heroes" finally came to an end, and this week's "Heavy Weapon" broke the situation with a weekend box office of nine million dollars, King's Landing Champion! And the energetic "Aladdin" box office rose by 20% again this week, and finally surpassed "Yihai Xiongfeng" and ranked third in this week's box office list; "Yihai Xiongfeng", which 'delivered' a three-percent increase in box office, finally 'revealed' its fatigue and slipped to the fourth place in one go.

Despite this, the eighth consecutive championship of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has become the most glorious record since entering the 90s, and the number of consecutive weeks of winning the championship is second only to "Home Alone", which was released at the end of l990, and it also occupies a joint seventh position in the historical ranking of consecutive championship weeks! This is history!

The eight-week winner brought $149 million to the box office, and this is not the end of the story, and it is clear that the excellent word-of-mouth and unabated popularity have made the film's release cycle as long as possible by Columbia Pictures. After that, the film was released until the end of May, stretching its release schedule to 23 weeks, and finally ending its box office campaign with a box office figure of $170 million.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after "Yihai Xiongfeng" landed in the overseas market, it also won a box office of 120 million US dollars, which made the global cumulative box office of the movie reach 290 million! The dazzling number jù made Hugo really have a box office hit!

From an investment of 40 million to a box office of 290 million, from worrying to public praise, "Yihai Xiongfeng" has 'delivered' a perfect answer.
