A comeback 509 has a strong momentum

"Schindler's list" indirectly led to the "Farewell You Qingtian" offline early, which was definitely not foreseen in advance.

The blowout ability of "Schindler's List" at the box office made the "Farewell You Qingtian" who had been carrying malicious hype news on their backs, no matter how hard they tried, the bad news came again.

There are rumors in the circle that the producer Tracy Jacobs is scoring the box office. Although this news is only circulated in the circle at present, it is a fatal blow to "Farewell to You Qingtian". Once the movie goes live With this title, regardless of whether the matter is true or false, all the reputation of "Farewell to Love God" has been ruined. At that time, let alone the Golden Globe and Oscars, the qualifications for nomination may be lost. This is the real thing. The bamboo basket was empty.

Under such circumstances, Columbia Pictures can only break their wrists. Before the rumors fully emerged, they directly withdrew the movie from the theaters, hoping to control these negative rumors, and then use the huge network of people in the circle to control these negatives. news. Now Columbia Pictures can only pray. The Jewish team behind Steven Spielberg has accepted the previous apology from Mike Nichols on the show. If Steven also begins to retaliate, then "Farewell "Youth Heaven" is really powerless.

Faced with such a situation, Tracy is completely stupid, she can't even make an effective response. What is meant to be self-inflicted and not living is perhaps the most true portrayal of Tracy now.

But for "Schindler's list", the early exit of "Farewell to Love Days" did not have much impact. Its footsteps in the North American market have just begun.

As the entire public opinion trend stabilized, the reputation and reputation of "Schindler's List" began to slowly penetrate into the wider masses. In the third week of December, the film officially became a thousand theaters. The line held a national screening in the United States!

"The Gannet Assassination Order (the..., which premiered in two thousand theaters this week, is undoubtedly the most watched candidate for the championship. The great director Allen-j-Pakula (alan.j.pakula) directed, this once directed "Kill a Mockingbird (t0...a..., "Sophie's Choice (, s) . The director ability of classic works cannot be ignored.

The fact is also true. The first weekend of the "Gannet Assassination Order" was "handed in" a box office of $16.9 million. It defeated all competitors without any suspense, and won the third week of December. The North American weekend box office champion.

The "Schindler's List", which was steadily being screened, was not significantly affected. This word-of-mouth work, which has become the focus of society, easily got 9.2 million U.S. dollars at the box office of 9,200 U.S. dollars. In the weekend box office, despite giving up the championship, he still held the runner-up position in the fifth week of the show, and brought his cumulative box office to 38 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop.

It can be said that "Schindler's List" is like a shining rock star, dedicated to stunning performances every week.

At present, the only thing on the North American market that can be compared with Schindler's list is the "slender ‘milk’ dad." Four weeks after the release of this word-of-mouth comedy, it was still adding theaters, contributing 9 million US dollars in the box office, and standing firmly behind the "Schindler's List", ranking third. And the achievement of 72 million U.S. dollars in four weeks is also steadily moving towards the 100 million yuan mark.

Relatively speaking, the performance of these three new works released last week were very disappointing. Even the smallest drop of "Sister'Naughty' Crazy 2" reached 31%, and "Anti-Fighting Wisdom Multi-Star 2" dropped directly into the soil with a drop of 54%. It is not an easy task to successfully recover a tens of millions of dollars of investment.

The most bleak is "Gronimo, an American legend..." This movie has fallen forty-three percent this week, earned 2.3 million U.S. dollars, and has a cumulative box office of only 7.7 million. Fortunately, the cost is only 35 million, and Columbia Pictures will not lose too much even if it loses money.

This has also triggered the whispers of many professionals in the circle. When Joseph was Hugo's agent, the four movies selected so far were full of successes, and all of them were successful; but Joseph was "Meng Da". The script chosen by Nicholas Cage is not so convincing.

Immediately following the fourth week of December, Universal Pictures once again added 130 venues to the "Schindler's List". Obviously, it intends to continue the expansion, but it will not venture into it for small profits. , It can also be seen that Universal Pictures intends to make "Schindler's List" into the ranks of long-term hits, relying on the precipitation of social hot spots, continuously attracting audiences into the cinema.

This strategy of Universal Pictures is undoubtedly successful. "Schindler's List" once again won a box office of 9.4 million US dollars this weekend, with a slight increase in the box office compared to last week. Although the "Gannet Assassination Order" was not able to hit the championship position, the "Gannet Assassination Order"'handed in' a 34% drop, and got 11 million in profits over the three days on the weekend, easily re-elected; but again The "slim'milk' dad", which overwhelmed the box office's adverse growth, continued the names of the top three in the previous week intact.

In the fifth week of December, which is the last week of 1993, due to the New Year’s holiday at the end of the year this week, all movies are increasing the number of theaters, and the entire North American box office ushered in a collective explosion, "Schindler’s List" "Naturally, it is no exception. After increasing the number of theaters to 1,400, the box office has soared by 65 percent, and a weekend box office of 15.5 million U.S. dollars has exploded. The cumulative box office is even worse. At US$75 million, the threshold of US$100 million seems not too far away.

In the early 1990s, when entertainment activities were not as rich as the 21st century, the cinema was undoubtedly the hottest venue for the New Year, and the box office of all 27 movies on the weekend box office rankings in North America all showed a green'color'. Even the worst-performing comedy has a 10% increase, and the best-performing comedy movie "Grumpy.oldn" (grumpy.oldn) has a 95% increase.

Among them, the 65 percent increase in "Schindler's List" is not an exaggeration. "Slim'milk' dad" benefited from the comedy theme and won by a 75% increase in one fell swoop. With a weekend box office of 16 million US dollars, it was easy to complete the counterattack, and won the championship from the "Gannet Assassination Order" and "Schindler's List". The cumulative box office was even more than nine last week. Ten million U.S. dollars directly soared to 122 million U.S. dollars, becoming the biggest winner in the New Year's Eve movie market.

In the last week of 1993, the North American movie box office rankings came to an end with "Slimy "Milk" Dad", "Schindler's List", and "Gannet Assassination Order" in the top three.

Then into the New Year of 1994, the trend of box office skyrocketing fell back in an instant, but "Schindler's List" still steadily added its own screening theaters, adding 20 to 50 screening theaters every week. It lasted until the end of February, and then gradually decreased the screening theaters at a rate ranging from 40 to 80 per week.

This distribution strategy of Universal Pictures has achieved great success. Although it has never been able to return to the championship position, it has been stable in the top five, except for the 11 million in the first week of January. In addition to the US dollar box office, the box office of "Schindler's List" remained at a very stable number for the next weekend, 9 million, 8.5 million, 7.6 million, 8 million... This is a very Slowly and steadily, there will be a counterattack from time to time.

After entering February, the floating range became more stable. This also made Schindler’s list without any suspense to complete the $100 million threshold breakthrough in the third week of January, saving its accumulation. The box office brought it to 106 million, and this trend continued.

Before the Oscars ceremony at the end of March, the cumulative box office of "Schindler's List" had reached 160 million U.S. dollars, and this situation continued to continue. The film was released until mid-August. His own screening time stretched to a full 33 weeks, far beyond the average screening cycle of 22 weeks. It is definitely a work that has a strong reputation.

Under such a long screening, "Schindler's List" finally staggered past the 200 million'threshold' threshold, and locked its total North American box office at $205 million. !

In the early 1990s, what did it mean to cross the 200 million threshold? It meant that the box office of "Mao" was rare! You know, the North American box office of "Terminator 2" in 1999 was only 200 million. Four million dollars! This is definitely a huge breakthrough for a serious and profound World War II work! This also achieved the unique box office victory of "Schindler's List"!

"Schindler's List", despite the fact that the film critics can be regarded as against the sky, broke the box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, which also confirmed "This is Steven’s most successful combination of business and art in history. ..." This statement ~www.wuxiahere.com~ It is worth mentioning that this is the third consecutive work of Hugo since "Yihai Xiongfeng" that has crossed the 100 million threshold, and it has also become a rain Guo's first film in his career with a box office of over 200 million yuan.

There is no doubt that Hugo's success by relying on "Schindler's List" has officially stepped into a first-line actor comparable to Tom Cruise. This is also a situation that no one can predict.

A little girl movie "Sleepless in Seattle" that no one is optimistic about brought Hugo $189 million in the box office, and a heavy war film "Schindler's List" that made everyone hesitate. It also brought Hugo US$205 million in the box office, not to mention Hugo's outstanding acting skills in these two works. Therefore, there is no doubt that in 1993, this was the year of Hugo's strong rise.

What's more commendable is that "Schindler's List" has also shown unimaginable box office appeal in international markets outside of North America!
