Standing at the height of 20 years later, "The Lion King" is an irreplaceable work in Disney's history, this work pushed the artistic quality of animation to an incredible height, and since then it has also evolved animation into one of the most profitable genres in the North American film market, and at the same time, it has also made animation also have a strong combat effectiveness in the Oscar competition, and directly gave birth to the best animated feature film and the best animated short film after a few years, and then led to the gradual rise of the entire animation market.

In 2014, Pixar, Illumination Entertainment, DreamWorks and many other outstanding animation studios formed a fierce confrontation with Disney, making animation a non-negligible member of the North American film market every year.

This shows the historical status of the "Lion King".

In 1994, this history still did not change, even the "" against the sky, even the influence of Hugo's little butterfly, could not shake this historical trajectory.

"The Lion King", which was released in 2,550 theaters, easily won $40.88 million at the box office, and since last week's screening was the opening weekend, "The Lion King" became the first work in history to exceed $40 million at the box office in the second weekend.

Such a result can be said to be no suspense, the victory of the "Lion King" is completely expected, and the triple crown of "" is already an incredible miracle. However, in the face of the 40 million-level box office of "The Lion King", the table of "speed of life and death" is the most eye-catching!

Under the huge impact, "" handed over a 10% drop in the answer sheet, so that the entire North American film market, even in the face of "The Lion King", the "speed of life and death" is still so strong, this is a result that really stunned everyone.

It's not a "wolf", it's not a """, but "The Lion King", the huge oppression brought by the 40 million-level weekend box office, and only let "" lose 10% of the box office and hand over 23 million US dollars at the box office, no matter what praise is used, this achievement cannot express the shock and surprise in the heart.

There is no doubt that this is the so-called phenomenal table, and this is the real dark horse against the sky!

For the fourth consecutive week, the weekend box office exceeded 20 million, which also made ""Officially Beyond"" the only work in film history to achieve such a result, and naturally, the box office of the fourth week of "Speed of Life and Death" also ranked first in film history.

In just four weeks and a month, "" completed the triple jump, the results got better and better week by week, refreshed a series of magical records, and brought his cumulative box office to 140 million US dollars, strongly exceeding the box office of 133 million US dollars in the same period.

In the fourth week of June, "The Lion King", "The Lion King" and "Wolf" respectively occupied the top three spots in the North American weekend box office charts.

Interestingly, there is also a high-profile "Wyatt. earp)" was released, this work invested 63 million, starring Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid, Gene Hackman, it can be described as menacing, but it was completely drowned in the frenzy of "" and "The Lion King", only handed over the premiere box office of 7.5 million US dollars, which made Warner Bros. Pictures sulk, but it couldn't vent at all.

In the first week of July, "The Phantom Wizard (the. shadow)", "Blown. away)", "I love trouble (i. love。 Trouble)" The release of all three works has not been able to make enough waves, Alec Baldwin (alec. Baldwin), Jeff Bridges (Jeff. Bridges), Julia and Roberts, three big-name stars, each led the three major productions, formed a melee, but the chaos expected by the media did not appear.

"The Lion King" undoubtedly won the first place with a box office of $34 million, "In the face of a huge shock, the strong watch finally retreated, but the 28 percent drop was still impressive, and the weekend box office of $16 million easily continued to stay in the runner-up position, which is also the first in the history of the fifth week weekend box office, which is half a million more than the "" in the same period.

Among the three new works, only "Phantom Wizard" barely passed, and the number of 12 million jù brought it to the third place.

Obviously, the astonishing expression of "" has gradually lost its "surprise", and has gradually been accepted by people, this masterpiece has brought its cumulative box office to 160 million US dollars in five weeks after its release, the word "dark horse" is no longer suitable, this is a masterpiece with absolute domineering, when to break through the threshold of 200 million, when to surpass "" is the focus of discussion.

With the advancement of the summer file, people gradually understand the fact that l994 is a classic year.

"" is still strong, "The Lion King" is not far behind, followed by "Forrest Gump" debuted, followed by "True Lies", then "Strange Heroes in Disguise", and finally "Burning Pursuit", there is no time to rest in the whole summer file, you sing and I appear, wonderful round after round.

"Forrest Gump" premiered in the second week of July, and it did not reach the amazing Cheng dù, with a score of 24.45 million, narrowly beating the tiny fraction of $25,000 for "The Lion King", winning the North American weekend box office championship, shattering the dream of "The Lion King" to win three consecutive championships. And then "Forrest Gump" in the next week, although it handed over a 1.3% drop against the sky, stunning the entire North American market, but it was still taken away by the "true lie", and the table was not as strong as "The Lion King".

But unexpectedly, this work became more and more courageous, returning to the championship four times before and after, and easily brought its cumulative box office past the threshold of 200 million before the end of the summer season, and it was an incredible 220 million US dollars, and the strength of this work directly pushed Tom Hanks, who just won the Oscar in March, to the peak of his career.

However, compared with the myth of "Forrest Gump", the powerful impact of "True Lies", and the dark horse success of "Strange Heroes in Disguise", this magical journey of a small-cost system with an investment of only 28 million US dollars ran through the entire summer file, witnessing the debut of various classic works, but it still relied on a strong word-of-mouth to persevere, which is the most impressive part.

In the sixth week, he handed over a 33% drop in the face of "Forrest Gump", in the seventh week he faced the "True Lies" with a drop of 29% and again fell below everyone's glasses, and in the eighth week in the face of the "ultimate witness", he continued to fall by 23% in the face of the "ultimate witness......

It can be said that "" has proved itself with excellent performance again and again, and after the test of time, the classic name of "Speed of Life and Death" has truly been recognized, and together with "True Lies", it has become a masterpiece of action movies in l994, which has remained in the long river of history forever.

Relying on such a strong performance, the box office officially crossed the threshold of 200 million in the fifth week of July, and broke the historical record of "" with a score of 200 million and 6 million, officially bagging the box office champion title of action movie in film history.

Not only has it become Hugo's fourth consecutive work with a box office of over 100 million, but also the second consecutive work of Hugo to cross the threshold of 200 million at the box office.

In fact, strictly speaking, "Schindler's List" only broke through the 200 million threshold in early August 1994, that is to say, "" was the first to achieve this result, causing an uproar in the media, but the following week, "Schindler's List" continued to create a miracle, and the two works led by Hugo have achieved a box office of 200 million US dollars, which is definitely a sensational success for the North American film market.

If you want to distinguish in more detail, then Hugo is only a supporting role in "Schindler's List", and "" is the real work starring Hugo, which also makes those voices who question "Hugo's personal box office appeal" shut up in an instant, Hugo did not rely on the cooperation of big-name actors, nor did he rely on the call of big-name directors, and the work "Speed of Life and Death" proved himself, proved his excellence, and proved his appeal.

Hugo's career was marked by a historical milestone.

In 1994, what did 200 million box office really mean? In fact, not only in 1994, even in 2014 20 years later, 200 million box office means incredible achievements, although in 2014 there are far more than 100 works that have achieved this achievement, and there are better and more powerful results, but being able to achieve 200 million box office still means that the top box office superstar, only a few actors are fortunate to be able to become members of the 200 million box office club.

However, in 1994, the 200 million box office was obviously more difficult, and so far only 16 films have made 200 million dollars at the North American box office. t" temporarily ranked the box office champion in film history with a score of 399.8 million US dollars, and the runner-up was last year's incredible results", plus the third-ranked "Star Wars", which is the only three works that crossed the 300 million threshold at the box office before 1994.

Therefore, the box office of 200 million US dollars is undoubtedly a top superstar in the current situation, and its box office appeal is undoubted, and now, "" and "Schindler's List" are also going to join this club one after another, making Hugo an actor with two 200 million dollar box office, and the strong momentum is unmatched.
