Generally speaking, the most intense competition for summer vacations is often in May and June, and July is obviously a battleground for military strategists after the "Independence Day" unearthed the Independence Day schedule. But relatively speaking, August is always relatively deserted. Firstly, after three months of violent bombing, the movie market has entered a period of fatigue; secondly, August is the holiday period for most people—— Real vacation time, leave the city, come to the country or the island, away from the chaos and complexity, and enjoy the leisure time. Therefore, August is generally relatively calm.

Of course, August is always a summer holiday, and it is still very lively compared to other months of the year.

August of this year is a bit unusual. Hugo's "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" debuted in the first week of August. There were as many as four films premiered in North America in the same week, three of which were screened. There are more than two thousand two hundred-in other words, they are more ferocious than the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural"!

Taking into account the horror film attribute of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", even the title "Hugo Lancaster" can hardly drive more box office market. The reason is simple. Unlike action movies, dramas or comedies, some people just don't like horror movies, or even fear and resist them, so they can't go into the cinema anyway.

Don't forget that when Hugo decided to take the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", he almost became the object of ridicule in the United States. Many professionals think that Hugo was taken away by arrogance. Although the great success of "Trumen's World" later reduced people's doubts a lot, even in the face of the "sixth sense of the supernatural," people were cautious not to speak out. But it is undeniable that people are still not optimistic about the prospects of the "supernatural sixth sense".

So, this makes the "supernatural sixth sense" seem like a very easy target to attack.

Paramount’s "The Game of Stealing the Sky (The... invited the well-known "James Bond" Pierce Brosnan to play in the first week of August, 2,500 theaters; Universal Studios The sci-fi comedy "Mystery (Men created by the industry at a cost of 70 million yuan, hopes to replicate the success of "Men in Black", and chooses to be screened in 2,300 theaters in the first week of August; an animation launched by Warner Bros. The movie "Steel Giant (The... is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the week, with 70 million investment, Jennifer Aniston's dubbing, and the scale of 2,250 theaters, everything looks confident. .

Faced with so many challenges, the media believes that "Steel Giant" is the strongest seed choice for this week's championship battle. Although the prospect of "Spiritual Sixth Sense" is worrying, relying on Hugo's appeal, it should be able to "steal". "Sky Game" has a hard fight, after all, Pierce is definitely not an opponent to be underestimated. All this makes this week's North American movie box office charts full of countless highlights.

According to the media’s pre-estimation, "Steel Giant" is considered to be capable of handing over 30 to 35 million premiere box office works, the premiere of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" and "Stealing the Sky" The box office results are considered to be around 2,000 to 23 million, and there is bound to be a battle between the two.

This prediction continues the previous style of "Trumen's World". Although the media is not optimistic about the prospects of the work, considering Hugo's appeal, the prediction is still more pertinent.

The current box office record for the premiere of a horror movie is "Ghost Invasion", which was released two weeks ago-directed by the director of "Life and Death", Jane De Bont, with a premiere score of 33 million US dollars. Work, in addition, only one horror movie’s premiere box office data can cross the 25 million threshold-"Ghostbusters 2" released in 1989, the premiere box office of 29 million US dollars.

At present, the top three horror movies at the box office are "Jaws" with 260 million U.S. dollars, "Ghostbusters" with 242 million U.S. dollars, and "The Exorcist" with 230 million U.S. dollars. Two million dollars, this is also the only three horror movies that broke the 200 million threshold at the box office. The three movies were from 1975, 1984 and 1973, which shows that the peak period of horror movies has long passed.

From this perspective, the media predicts that the premiere box office of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is not only pertinent, but also very tolerant. This prediction data can rank among the top five or even the top of the box office record list for the premiere of horror movies. three. After repeated lessons, people always increase caution when making predictions about Hugo's works, especially when "Trumen's World" has just created a glorious history.

However, even in this context, even with the collective encirclement and suppression of the three more magnificent works, no one dared to challenge Hugo's strong momentum. "Stealing the Sky", "Mystery Man" and "Steel Giant" all avoided August 2 and chose to hold their premiere ceremonies on other days, because the lessons of history have clearly told them: leave the works aside, In terms of the film's premiere, if you want to head head-on with Hugo, no one in Hollywood currently has such ability, even Steven Spielberg would not make such a choice.

Therefore, on August 2nd, only one work "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" in the United States held its premiere ceremony!

Nearly 400 reporters from more than 180 media outlets were surrounded. At the entrance of the National Theater, such a grand occasion almost made people trance back to the Dorothy Chandler Hall on the night of the Oscars. That's it, it can't help being staggering.

Many fans who participated in the film premiere for the first time on the scene were even more stunned. They looked at the grand occasion in disbelief and couldn't make any effective response at all. This makes the other three works that will premiere this week uneasy. Although they have been trying to convince themselves, "The premiere relies on the appeal of Hugo, which has no direct connection with the work", but still It is difficult to suppress inner tension and worry.

In fact, even the reporters who came to the scene could not help but marvel at it. This is the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", not "Star Wars Prequel", but the lively scene of the scene is not inferior, and this is the first time they truly have a hearty heart. Feel the attraction of Hugo.

Nicholas McKenna walked quickly to the end of the red carpet, looking for his assistant among the crowd, "Hey, Nick, is there any news?" Nicholas saw another person on his right coming towards him and greeted him with a smile. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, shook his head, "I have no news."

After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward quickly, but before three steps were taken, two more people walked over together, "Nick, you actually let the assistant come over first, and you are late. Is there any inside story?" Nicholas could only shook his head with a wry smile again, "I hope there is an exclusive, but won't he reveal the answer when he shows up?" Nicholas motioned to the two people and moved on.

I finally saw my assistant among the crowd. Standing next to him was the reporter of "U.S. Weekly" James Rattle. Nicholas hurried up to meet him and quickly confessed, "Quickly, set up my camera, at most. In ten minutes, they will arrive at the scene."

Without any pause, everyone started to get busy. After he was busy, Nicholas started to focus on the camera and observe the light and environment. The assistant standing nearby looked at James and then at Nicholas. In the end he couldn't help but, "Nick, is there any news?"

Nicholas glanced at his assistant speechlessly, "This is already after I arrived at the scene, and the twenty-first person asked me the same question." One sentence made the assistant smile embarrassedly, but the expectant glance turned away. Still not shaken, Nicholas opened his mouth, only to find that James next to him was also leaning over, and he was helpless. "I have no news. Joe won't answer the phone, Samora won't answer the phone, so don't ask me again. Up."

The little assistant is inexperienced, and his face is full of disappointment, while James chuckled lightly, "I think Hugo's personality should not be deliberately avoided, because he knows we will definitely not let him go."

"Then what if he is worried that we are blurring the focus, not paying attention to the movie, but caring about the lace news, and deliberately antagonizing us?" Nicholas asked in a rhetorical question, which caused James to choke and he was helpless.

Everyone is concerned about the same question: Will Hugo appear on the red carpet with Charlize today? This is the first public event after the two people have determined their relationship. People were looking forward to the release of "Beautiful Mind"~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The two people will definitely appear together, but now the "spiritual first" "Six Senses" is the first to appear on the stage, and naturally no one wants to miss it.

This is also one of the important reasons why the news media that arrived at the scene today are so exaggerated, and the red carpet time for the premiere is getting closer and everyone is getting more and more anxious. Just like James and Nicholas’ guesses, almost everyone is trying to guess what Hugo thinks. Even though everyone knows that Hugo will reveal the answer after he walks on the red carpet, there is still no way to control his excitement and excitement.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the end of the red carpet, and Nicholas and James both looked at the end of the red carpet. At this time, the premiere had not officially started. Their first reaction was that the producer Catherine Kennedy or M-Night-Samaran appeared on the red carpet. It was a warm-up for the red carpet, but they didn’t expect one. Turning his head, he saw a black extended luxury sedan parked at the beginning of the red carpet.

Without waiting for everyone to continue to speculate, the air at the scene condensed suddenly, and then reached a boiling point in an instant, bursting out like a stormy sea with amazing energy. The roar of more than a thousand fans in the audience tore a black hole in the entire sky. The end of the red sunset glow pouring down, like a Milky Way waterfall, roaring.

It was Hugo who appeared! And... Charlize!
