"The Hangover" was undoubtedly crazy in North America Week, beating movies such as "Flying House", "The Lost Continent", "Wonderful Night at the Museum 2", "Star Trek", "Terminator 2o18", "Angels and Demons" and other movies, and successfully won the North American box office.

And the competition is not over yet, this is just the beginning, in the second week, the competitiveness of "Flying House Travel" is still strong, and the new film "Riding the Subway Ride" has also joined the competition, and "The Hangover" has formed a "Triwizard Tournament", and the competition in the box office rankings is undoubtedly more exciting. The biggest beneficiaries are the spectators who pay for tickets to enter the venue.

"Riding the Subway" is a menacing action thriller starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta, and a new film starring comedy superstar Eddie Murphy "Fantasyland" will also be released this week. If you add "Fake Marriage" and "First Year" to be released next week, and of course, "Transformers 2", which is about to kick off the world, and "Degree and Leakage * Point 4", it is obvious that the competition faced by "The Hangover" is gradually escalating.

But in such fierce competition, the performance of "hangover" is no longer enough to describe as a surprise, even if it is amazing. At a time when many big-budget movies have failed in word-of-mouth and box office, the comedy "Hangover", which has an investment of only $35 million, has become the biggest dark horse in the summer season with a surprise attitude: the investment of "Flying House" is 130 million, and the investment of "Hangover" is only a fraction of others.

After being the top box office in North America with overwhelming positive acclaim, The Hangover continued to perform well in its second week, earning $40 million over the weekend after expanding its release in 3,355 theaters, once again beating out "Flying House" to take the top spot.

Speaking of Pixar, there are also some cups, "Flying House Travels" is almost well-known, well-made, and the box office results are also very good, the cumulative box office in the three weeks of release is approaching the 200 million mark, but it happened to encounter the "hangover" This anomaly, last week lost the championship by a narrow margin, not to mention, this week it was actually pressed by "hangover" again, and once again succumbed to the runner-up. In other words, after the release of "Flying House Travel", it only won the North American box office championship for a week, which is indeed very good.

And "Riding the Subway Ride" continued the unlucky situation of big-budget movies this year, only achieving a box office of $25 million, ranking third. Eddie Murphy's "Land of Fantasy" is even more bleak, with only $5.7 million at the box office, barely hanging in sixth place on the box office list, and also falling behind "Night at the Museum 2" and "The Lost Continent".

After the release of "The Hangover", it was unanimously praised and praised by film critics, and the audience also showed great enthusiasm for the film. In just eight days after its release, the cumulative box office actually broke through the 100 million yuan mark and achieved a box office result of 110 million. Compared with its investment of only 35 million, the dark horse of "Hangover" is indeed shiny, and the proportion of income makes "Flying House Travel" blush.

After that, in the face of continuous challenges and the fierce competition of "Flying House Travel", in the next three weeks of competition, "The Hangover" reappeared as a dark horse, defeating "Flying House Travel" for the third consecutive week and once again winning the North American box office chart.

So far, in fact, not many people will regard "hangover" as a dark horse, and they would think that it is a dark horse before, mainly because the investment is not high and there are no big names - Lee Joon-yi is only a popular but not a big name, and it is a comedy that is difficult to become a big player in the box office, and even the company Warner Bros. didn't put too much thought into it, so "hangover" was indeed ignored. But after the release, word-of-mouth and box office were popular across the board, especially in the head-to-head confrontation with "Flying House Travel", "The Hangover" actually won three weeks in a row, which made the ambitious Pixar really angry and had nothing to say.

There is a box office and a word of mouth, and in addition to the low cost, absolutely no one will ignore it anymore for a "hangover". And this kind of movie is undoubtedly the film company's favorite work, low investment and high returns, who doesn't like it? For this reason, Warner Bros. has given red envelopes to the cast and crew three times in a row. Of course, there were no accidents, the production of "The Hangover 2" immediately carried out the planning and implementation stage, when the "Hangover" was filmed, Lee Joon-yi joked with Todd Phillips and others that if there was a second part, everyone would continue to star, but I didn't expect that this joke would come true. "The Hangover" was not only a success, but a big success, and the filming of the sequel naturally did not have any surprises. However, the script has not yet started construction, so it will definitely take a long time before the actual filming is completed.

"The Hangover" was released from early June to mid-July, and the box office was like a bamboo, and in a surprising eye, the North American box office successfully broke through the 200 million mark, becoming Lee Joon-yi's second consecutive film in North America to break 200 million at the box office. On Tuesday, July 21, the cumulative box office of "The Hangover" reached 240 million, making it the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in film history, replacing the previous 25-year record holder "Beverly Hills Detective". After six weeks of release, it still attracts such a large number of audiences, and it still stays in the fifth place on the box office list, which is definitely an outlier for the summer file with strong players, which is breathtaking.

The record of twenty-five years is thus obsolete. In interviews, actors from Todd Phillips to Lee Joon-yi and other actors said that "none of us expected the film to set this record, and the word-of-mouth praise has not weakened any momentum", which is the truth.

At this point, who would despise Lee Joon-yi's choice of a comedy as his second work after the "twilight" hit? Who would think that Lee Joon-yi was a tyrant who did not know how to use the resources in his hands? Who would think that Lee Joon-yi had made a stupid mistake in the choice of works? No one, no one, no one.

"Twilight" is a blockbuster, and "hangover" is a burst of amazement. Lee Joon-yi has become the most shining new star in Hollywood in the past year with two consecutive works The North American box office exceeded 200 million.

Then, the record-setting pace of "The Hangover" has not stopped, and its widely spread praise has made the box office results continue to climb, especially in summer blockbusters such as "Transformers 2" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which still maintains good box office results, which is even more amazing.

In the end, "The Hangover" achieved a box office of 290 million in North America, which was only $3 million short of "Flying House". Although the total box office of "The Hangover" was 3 million US dollars behind "Flying House", in terms of production costs - 35 million against 130 million, and in terms of the release process - three consecutive weeks of champion vs. week champion plus three weeks of runner-up, "The Hangover" is the biggest winner.

And what kind of position this result can be ranked in the 2oo9 North American year-end rankings is worth everyone's expectations. Of course, the movies that Lee Joon-yi has confirmed to be released this year are "500 Days with Shamo" and "New Moon", so the year-end box office list is even more interesting.

In addition to North America, "hangovers" are also sought after in the Asian region and Europe. In Asia, especially in China and Japan, "The Hangover" has shown strong competitiveness and rave reviews, while in Europe it has been slightly weaker, and it is not surprising that American comedy has not resonated widely in Europe.

Even so, in the end, "The Hangover" still achieved a box office of 500 million US dollars worldwide, which is a bit short of the 680 million of "Flying House", but it is still a very amazing result, which made the media and Warner Bros. all exclaim - shouts of joy.

It is worth mentioning that the global box office of "Twilight" is 531 million, and there are more words at this time? Lee Joon-yi has two movies with a box office of more than 500 million in the world, in other words, Lee Joon-yi, who has only debuted in Hollywood for less than half a year, has a cumulative global box office of more than one billion. Thinking about it this way, on the ImdB actor list, Lee Joon-yi has occupied the first place for a month in a row, which doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Last time, "Twilight" made a 14oo% gain with an investment of 37 million, and this time, "The Hangover" made a 14oo% gain with an investment of 35 million. That's enough to drive all investors crazy. What do investors look for in actors, popularity, acting skills, and neither of them, but the rate of return. To put it simply, it's how much I can get by investing a dollar in you. And Lee Joon-yi, one dollar gets a return of fourteen dollars, which is not the ratio of Lee Joon-yi's salary to returns, but the ratio of film investment costs and benefits. So, what businessman wouldn't be crazy? No.

Similarly, what kind of results "Hangover" will have in the global year-end box office rankings will also need to wait for the end of 2oo9 years before there will be results, but the success of "Hangover" is beyond doubt, it is a success, without any discounts

However, this time, if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that there is one less South Korea in the region where the "hangover" has achieved excellent results this time, and it is true that South Korea is now very embarrassed, completely embarrassed.

Just a few days ago, in fact, it was not a long time, that is, 48 hours ago, the anti-anti people on the South Korean Internet were still clamoring for Lee Joon-yi to get out of South Korea and the entertainment circle, and the South Korean media were still discussing in confusion: whether Lee Joon-yi hurt the patriotic feelings of South Koreans, or objectively expressed the feelings of foreigners.

But at this time, the huge success of "The Hangover" made Anti and the shouting Korean media collectively shut up, more effective than any words, tools, and weapons, and that silence made people mistakenly think that there had never been an incident of "Zun Yi-sama" live broadcast.

Are the South Korean media embarrassed, do they report on the "hangover" or not? If they do, what do they want to say? If they don't, they will be outdated? If we compare the joys of the Chinese and Japanese media, it is not an exaggeration to say that the South Korean media are gloomy and bleak.

Now those anti-people and the media who are dissatisfied with Lee Joon-yi, including Park Sung-so, Kim Jin-hyun and others, they know that there is nothing to say about Lee Joon-yi's achievements, so the only thing they can pray for is, God, please let the "Ninja Assassin" achieve good results at every level

Today's second update.
