The turning point of many things in the world often comes from some unintentional little things.

After a week of exhaustion, although he managed to muddy the wind of public opinion, Simon knew that the clarification he was about to make on NBC's "Tonight Show" would not allow him to completely shake off the doubt, and it would take time to dilute the matter.

However, the video that popped up on ABC turned the whole thing around very completely.

The previous doubts basically focused on whether Simon has professional abilities such as photography, editing, and soundtrack. But after watching that video, anyone with a little independent thinking ability no longer doubts Simon's personal skills in music.

Obviously, how could Simon, a guitarist who has almost entered the house, not be able to complete the soundtrack of a movie.

Since Simon can do the soundtrack, he can also do things like photography and editing, which should be easier for the average person. So, is there anything to doubt about the final production of "Lola Run"?

Of course, the doubts will not be so easy to subside.

Soon the media pointed out that Janet Johnston and Kathryn Bigelow were apparently present in the video broadcast by ABC, and Simon Westeros used a collector's edition Gibson acoustic guitar that should be worth about $1,000.

These details are enough to prove that the video is most likely just recently staged, and not a video of Simon Westeros' previous performance in Venice Beach.

It's obvious.

A penniless poor boy, where did he get an expensive brand guitar to sell his art!

By this reasoning, Simon Westeros' "Flying Bees" should have only recently been learned in a hurry, just to cope with the current situation. Of course, the boy may have some talent for the guitar, but he still can't prove anything.

However, the doubts in this regard were slapped in the face every minute.

The local media in Los Angeles conducted a direct investigation on Venice Beach, and the original tourists were nowhere to be seen, but many of the surrounding vendors and shopkeepers were impressed by the little miracle Simon made last year.

Subsequently, the old Spanish man who runs the hotel appeared on a talk show on a local TV station in Los Angeles with his acoustic guitar, detailing the whole thing, patting his chest and firmly vouching for Simon.

New Monday, in the expectation of many people, Simon officially became a guest on the "Tonight Show" program.

As the media trend has changed, Simon's ace talk show through NBC TV showed a series of handwritten scripts, storyboard sketches and even Simon's own work notes and other evidence during the production of "Lola Run", and the events that have been boiling for a week have basically settled.

Originally, Simon thought that as long as he could successfully get out of this public opinion turmoil, it would be good.

But no one expected that perhaps the ABC tape would spark a lot of popularity again, except for the rumored huge increase in guitar sales in all musical instrument stores throughout North America during this period, and the box office of "Lola Run" in the following week had another unexpected change.

Since "Lola Run" has been fully rolled out on a large scale last week, according to the usual box office curve of most films, the box office of the film should show a certain decline in the fifth week. Affected by the scepticism turmoil, Orion even predicted that the decline of "Lola Run" this week is likely to reach more than 30%.

However, the reality is that from March 13 to March 15, three days over the weekend, compared with the same period last week, the box office of "Lola Run" not only did not fall, but rebounded by about 6%, collecting another $19.65 million.

And that's not all.

In the end, in a full week from March 13 to March 19, the overall box office decline of "Lola Run" further expanded, reaching about 10%, and the single-week box office also created a new high of $28.16 million.

As a result, within five weeks of its release, the total box office of "Lola Run" reached $85.87 million.

Followed by.

What everyone expected was obviously expected.

Entering its sixth week, "Lola Run" earned $16.35 million at the box office in another weekend and three days, and the cumulative box office officially exceeded the $100 million mark, reaching $102.22 million.

Due to the limitations of market size and distribution model, there were only a handful of films that could break 100 million at the box office in six weeks in the entire 80s, at least until 1987.

According to Orion's original prediction, even in the best case, "Lola Run" will need a full week after the sixth week to reach more than 100 million, and the most likely is to enter the 100 million yuan club in the seventh week.

But the truth is, it only took Lola Run five and a half weeks to succeed in achieving this goal.

Moreover, "Lola Run" achieved a box office of more than 100 million ahead of schedule, which is not the most important thing. Since its release, it has been clear to anyone that the film will be a no-brainer at the box office.

But.

Hollywood's original expectation for the North American box office of "Lola Run" was only between $150 million and $200 million.

But now, after a storm of public opinion, the popularity of "Lola Run", which had begun to dissipate, has regathered, and the box office decline has slowed down significantly.

The box office curve, which was supposed to fall in the fifth week, suddenly changed its trend, and there was an unusual reversal, which resulted in an overall upward revision of the subsequent box office curve.

So, after re-estimating, many people were surprised to find out. After breaking 100 million in five and a half weeks, the final box office potential of "Lola Run" has clearly exceeded the $200 million mark.

As for how much it will eventually reach, too many people are already reluctant to predict.

However, some people want to escape reality, and many good news outlets have directly compared the movies that have been on par with the box office trend of "Lola Run" in the past few years, which is the 1985 North American box office champion "Back to the Future".

This best-selling sci-fi film directed by Robert Zemeckis also achieved a box office break of 100 million in the sixth week of its release. It's just that "Back to the Future" only got $100.92 million at the box office after the sixth full week, barely breaking the $100 million threshold.

But just like that, the final North American box office of "Back to the Future" has reached $210 million.

So.

Looking at "Lola Run" again, how many can there be?!

Thinking of the next box office potential of this movie, some people in some offices in the depths of Hollywood who have just made small moves to curb the box office of this movie even have a strong sense of regret.

originally wanted to suppress the box office of "Lola Run", but unexpectedly, this movie crossed a more miraculous threshold.
