161 follow-up box office
Sought after by the media and supported by fans, "Yihai Xiongfeng" set off a whirlwind at the end of 1992 with a strong attitude, carrying the strength of the box office in the first week.
In the third week of December, the North American Film Market welcomed two heavyweight works.

Released in 1,800 theaters, the production is considered a strong contender for this week's weekend box office title.
Robin Williams (Robis) teamed up with Barry Levinson to bring another movie "Toys" (toys), the two main creators and Hugo have cooperated, the former collaborated with the "Dead Poets Society", and the latter is the director of Hugo's debut "Little Restaurant", such a combination competes with "Yihai Xiongfeng", and is also dubbed by the media as "the .........reunion of the North American box office charts", which shows that the "toys" released in 1,300 theaters are still considered to be competitive.
But after the box office number came out, everyone sighed and was surprised, not because the expression of "Heavenly Desolation" and "Toy" was not strong enough, nor because "Yihai Xiongfeng" won the championship without suspense, but because the combat effectiveness of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is really terrifying.
Only 'handed' an answer sheet with a 28 percent decline, "Yihai Xiongfeng" captured $20.5 million at the weekend box office the next week, and won the championship with the third highest weekly box office after "Batman Returns" and "Home Alone 2" this year. Such a result is something that even the most daring box office forecasting professionals dare not dream about.
Originally, people were conservative in their outlook, saying that as long as the next week's decline of "Yihai Xiongfeng" remained at 40 percentage points, it would be a victory, but as a result, "Yihai Xiongfeng" not only achieved this goal, but also far exceeded this level. In the two weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has reached 55 million US dollars, and the speed of box office convergence is "close to" "Home Alone 2". In an instant, the dawn of the final North American box office of "Yihai Xiongfeng" exceeding 100 million was lit up.
…… Yihai is majestic, easily repelled the challenger, and won the first place in the North American weekend box office chart with an absolute advantage!" The New York Times, the best-selling newspaper on the East Coast, was the first to report on this week's box office charts.
"The two new films released this week are disappointing, with the overall media score of only 61 for 'The Day is Not Over', and the overall media score of 48 indicates that this is a disaster. Neither of the two new entries has been able to show enough combat power, with the former occupying the fourth place in the top 10 and the latter only in sixth place.
Comparatively speaking, on the old work table xiàn, 'Aladdin', which continues to expand, and 'Little Ghost Street 2', which maintains a good decline, 'delivered' a more satisfactory weekend box office answer, and the table xiàn is eye-catching, ranking second and third respectively this week.
This weekend's most outstanding' work is undoubtedly the box office dark horse "Yihai Xiongfeng", a new work co-starring Hugo Lancaster and Jack Nicholson, which continued the hot state after its premiere last week, and aroused fanatical followers from all walks of life, and this week it retained the top spot in the North American weekend box office list with an ultra-low decline of 28%. Mel Gibson, Robin Williams, and Barry Levinson were all defeated in the face of Hugo Lancaster's formidable fighting power. ”
There is only one last week left in 1992, and the Christmas schedule is not as colorful as Hugo expected, and the current North American film market has still not tapped enough potential, even the competition in the summer season is not fierce enough, not to mention the relatively dull holiday season.
Although the two new works "Hoffa" and "Trespass" that were newly released this week have their own topics, they have only chosen 1,000 theaters to be released, obviously not expecting more from the Christmas schedule.
"Hoffa" is a work starring Jack Nicholson, who left the crew early during the filming of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" just to shoot this film; "Trespassing" is led by those who participated in the "Alien 3 (aiieer. H Dou L) directed, and the male lead was Bill Paxton (B Dou L, who had a good performance in "Terminator Small" Alien 2. paxton).
These two new films are obviously difficult to attack the North American box office charts, in the case of the lack of attraction of new films and the demand of the fake holiday market, "Yihai Xiongfeng", "Aladdin", "Home Alone 2", "Bodyguard" and other eleven films have increased the number of theaters, "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released in 2,100 theaters, and "Aladdin" increased the most, increasing to 2,300 theaters in one go.
Such a massive increase in theaters also led to an overall increase in the box office in the last week of 1992. The fastest rise was that "Aladdin" increased by 85 percentage points, and the weekend box office rose to the level of 13.4 million in one go, making a strong impact on the top of the North American box office charts.
Relatively speaking, the style disadvantages of "Yihai Xiongfeng" are reflected at this time, whether it is the family-friendly "Aladdin", "Home Alone 2" or the lingering and sympathetic "Bodyguard", "The Desolation is Not Over" Driven by Christmas, they all have a stronger box office appeal, while Yan Sù's nervous "Yihai Xiongfeng" has fallen behind, not to mention compared with "Aladdin", compared with "Home Alone 2" in the sixth week of release, the box office growth of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is also very limited. Only 20 percent growth is the lowest among the top 10.
Despite this, "Yihai Xiongfeng" still relied on the advantages accumulated before, and with a 20% increase, it got a box office of 24 million US dollars, and completed another triple crown, and the cumulative box office reached the position of 82 million US dollars in one go.
Judging from the current level, there is not much suspense about the box office of "Yihai Xiongfeng" exceeding 100 million, and the paper cost of 40 million US dollars can definitely be fully recovered, and it has also allowed Columbia Pictures to obtain gratifying benefits.
At the box office in the last weekend of 1992, behind the three consecutive championships of "Yihai Xiongfeng", "Aladdin", "Home Alone 2", "Bodyguard", and "The Desolation is Not Over" together constituted the top five, and the newly released "Hoffa" and "Trespassing" could only reluctantly occupy the sixth and seventh places.
After entering the New Year, there is no new film released during the customary holiday, but this does not mean that the competition at the North American weekend box office is not 'fierce', "Yihai Xiongfeng" maintained a 3% increase, and the weekend box office number of more than 24 million jù brought it a fourth consecutive crown, while "Aladdin", which continues to grow at the box office, won 16 million US dollars and ranked second again, and the ranking of other works has not changed much.
However, this week's more gratifying news than the four consecutive championships of "Yihai Xiongfeng" comes from the cumulative box office number jù "January 1, 993, after the fourth week of the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng", the cumulative box office number jù officially crossed the threshold of 100 million 'door', becoming the first work in Hugo's career with a box office of over 100 million!
This is the early nineties of the twentieth century, and a box office of over 100 million means a huge success" "In 990, there were nine movies that crossed the threshold of 100 million 'doors', and the number of jù in l991 was eight, as the starring role of the movie, it was possible to have a work with a box office of over 100 million, which is one of the few in Hollywood, and the so-called box office superstars are such a level."
Hugo has starred in a total of ten movies since he first appeared on the big screen in 1982, and "Yihai Xiongfeng" is his first film to cross the threshold of 100 million 'door' at the box office, which can definitely be called a breakthrough in history. Hugo's position in Hollywood immediately went from the area of second-rate actors to the first-line camp, although it can only hang at the end of the first-line at present, and any failure will make Hugo directly relegated, but this is the first time in ten years that Hugo can be called a "first-line" in the true sense of the first line, which is of great significance.
It is really appropriate to use the word "no pole Tailai" to describe Hugo's 1992, after the Golden Raspberry Award at the beginning of the year, people almost thought that Hugo would sink, and maybe they would no longer see the young and handsome young actor in the "Dead Poets Society", but after entering the second half of the year, Hugo announced his recovery with two consecutive works, and moved towards a new peak with a vigorous momentum.
"Yihai Xiongfeng" dominated the championship for four consecutive weeks, which is probably a situation that no one could have expected before the release of the movie, not only the news media, but even Columbia Pictures, the distributor of "Yihai Xiongfeng", did not expect it, and caught everyone off guard.
With the strong four consecutive championships of "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo, as the protagonist, has increased in popularity at a speed like the Sahara Desert in scorching July, refreshing people's understanding again and again, like a shining star, rising rapidly in the North American film market, and its popularity has reached an unprecedented height!
