As the most high-profile rival in Hollywood in the past decade, the healthy competition and vicious competition between Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Hugo Lancaster has always been the focus of heated discussions, and the entanglement between the three can be traced back to 1992, but it was 1995 that really made the three stand on the same level and start a showdown for more than ten years!

In the fifth week of December 1995, the last issue of the "People" weekly magazine was officially launched under the watchful eye, and every year it can cause countless topics in the world's sexiest men's selection, and this year continues this tradition, and Brad, who has been excellent and unrivaled in the past year, defeated a number of competitors and won the title of "People" weekly for the first time, becoming the world's sexiest man in 1995!

From the emergence of "Night Visit to Vampires", to the birth of "Burning Years", to the continuation and success of "Seven Deadly Sins", and finally the full affirmation of "Twelve Monkeys". In one year, four works, Brad step by step, although he was suppressed by Hugo everywhere, the energy accumulated by the four works exploded in an all-round way, and now Brad is the supreme title of "All-American Lover".

Although Hugo's watch has remained strong in the past year, with "Pulp Fiction", "Before Sunrise", "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Walk on Death Row" all excellent, Hugo has been strong for four years, and Brad has clearly won more attention than he has always been strong.

What's more, Brad's wild, sexy, uninhibited image is perfectly combined with the big-screen character, which is a cookie-cutter repetition from a performance perspective, but for the audience, it undoubtedly deepens their direct impression of Brad. This also made Brad take the rocket and jump to the commanding heights in one fell swoop!

"People" Weekly's World's Sexiest Man is just a title issued by the magazine, and has no practical significance, but as one of the most influential magazines in North America, the selection of "People" is obviously not limited to appearance or sexiness, but also an evaluation of the influence, popularity, appeal, popularity and other aspects of the selection object.

Now, People magazine has awarded this title to Brad, which is the most direct and important affirmation of Brad's achievements in the past year.

Maybe people are criticizing Brad's acting skills, and Hugo was almost completely destroyed in "The Seven Deadly Sins"; Perhaps people are talking about the sameness of Brad's characters, and several works are almost in the same vein; Maybe people are despising Brad's appeal, and the box office results can't be compared with Hugo and Tom......

But the fact is that the current Brad is the most watched actor in North America! No doubt! In particular, the "Twelve Monkeys" took advantage of the hot wind of the "Seven Deadly Sins" to achieve outstanding results in one fell swoop, and had a bright money scene, which also made Brad even more proud.

This seemingly meaningless title allows Brad to really compete with Tom and Hugo, the three of them are the three youngest actors on the list in the past decade! He is also the only three actors among the current baby boomers who have been recognized with such a title.

Also, no one will forget that the winner of this title in the past two years of People magazine is Hugo! Hugo became the first and only person in the history of People magazine to win this title twice in a row, which is a direct testimony to Hugo's dominance in Hollywood in the past two years!

Now that Brad has earned the title, it is not so much that Brad ended the third consecutive title that prevented Hugo, but that Brad inherited the crown from Hugo and topped People magazine.

This time, Brad defeated Hugo in the true sense of the word, and it was also his long-lost victory in the competition with Hugo! This is not only of great significance to Brad, but many media outlets in North America are also chanting "change of dynasty".

The change of dynasty here does not mean that Brad replaced Hugo, but refers to the end of the dynasty of "Hugo and Tom's strong dialogue", and the era of "Hugo, Tom, and Brad standing together" officially began. This is the fundamental reason why "Twelve Monkeys" has an important place in the history of entertainment, and after this work, people have truly ushered in a dynasty of fierce competition between three top superstars and a collection of excellent works.

Thanks to Brad's strong influence on the top of People magazine, "Twelve Monkeys" soared by 60% at the box office this week, directly grabbing $19.8 million at the box office in the North American market, which not only set the best number since the film's release in three weeks, but also brought the cumulative box office of the work in three weeks past the $30 million threshold and landed directly at $35 million, which is undoubtedly a huge success for a cult commercial film with an investment of 29 million.

The strength of "Twelve Monkeys" also made the major media generally optimistic about the prospects of this movie, and Brad swept away the haze of good results after the "Seven Deadly Sins", and frequently appeared in major programs and accepted various interviews. As the new sexiest man in the world, Brad seems to enjoy the name, and his girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow has become the most jealous woman in the United States at present, and the couple has replaced the low-key Hugo and Cameron as the number one object of people's attention after dinner.

In the fifth week of December, although "Twelve Monkeys" burst out of today's energy, it eventually lost to "Toy Story", the first three-dimensional computer animation work in film history won the love of almost the whole of North America, and the box office soared by 100% this week, with a box office of 20.3 million US dollars, it returned to the top position of the North American weekend box office charts, and the cumulative box office also exceeded 150 million US dollars, officially marching towards 200 million, which really stole a lot of limelight.

After "Toy Story" and "Twelve Monkeys", there is the "Jumanji" that has picked up at the box office, and there are six works that have grossed more than 10 million this week, which shows the prosperity and excitement of the entire North American market.

After this battle, the success of "Twelve Monkeys" is undoubted, and Brad has finally really risen, completing the three-legged territory, and the entire Hollywood landscape has changed.

After that, the "Twelve Monkeys" benefited from a good reputation, and the follow-up momentum continued, although it could not be compared with the terrifying momentum of the "Seven Deadly Sins", but the excellent performance Xiàn still made it a shiny black horse!

In January 1996, "Twelve Monkeys" won the weekend box office of 10 million a week, and Shun Lì topped the North American weekend box office charts, and then won the weekend box office of 1 million on three Saturdays, although the decline was more than 40%, but not all works can be compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins" anti-heaven table xiàn, for a thriller suspense science fiction movie, "Twelve Monkeys" table xiàn has greatly exceeded expectations.

Thanks to the excellent performance in January, many media exclaimed, is the box office of "Twelve Monkeys" going to exceed 100 million? If this is really the case, this work will undoubtedly create a miracle of the "Seven Deadly Sins", and this will also become Brad's third work in North America to have a box office of over 100 million - of course, the box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" is approaching 200 million, but Brad's impression on people is limited.

Sadly, this speculation lasted less than two weeks before it was shattered.

Like "Seven Deadly Sins", the post-production endurance is still weak, especially "Twelve Monkeys" can't be compared with "Seven Deadly Sins", six weeks after the release time, the downward momentum is out of control, with a weekly decline of more than 50%, making the hope of the movie hitting the $100 million threshold disappear like a bubble in an instant.

Even so, the table of "Twelve Monkeys" is still very impressive, with a cumulative release of 12 weeks, and finally the cumulative box office in North America reached 89 million US dollars, which is still not a small distance from 100 million US dollars. But even so, "Twelve Monkeys" still became Brad's third-highest personal box office work, second only to "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Night Vampire", which barely exceeded 100 million at the box office.

At the beginning, the "Burning Years" was like this, the North American box office was only a little more than 60 million, but the overseas box office table Xiàn was exceptionally good. This time "Twelve Monkeys" is the same, Bruce already has a global appeal after "Die Hard", and Brad is now a sexy idol known all over the world, and the potential of the movie in overseas markets is undoubtedly worth looking forward to.

Although people have raised their expectations, in the end, the overseas watch of "Twelve Monkeys" still made everyone applaud, and 51 overseas countries and regions won $120 million at the box office for this work, which also made the total global box office of "Twelve Monkeys" reach $200.9 million, and such excellent results also made Brad's smile even brighter when interviewed on major programs.

According to the paparazzi's insider feedback, Brad has been in a good mood recently, and even if he secretly photographed him dating Gwyneth, he communicated with the paparazzi with a smile on his face.

With an investment of 29 million and a global recovery of 200 million US dollars, even if Universal Pictures had high hopes for the "Twelve Monkeys", such an achievement could not have been predicted at all. This kind of low-investment, high-return thing has happened to Hugo countless times, and people have long been accustomed to it, but in Brad's case, it is the real first time - except for the "seven deadly sins".

Before "Twelve Monkeys" came off the production line, there were already rumors in the circle that under Martin Baum's operation, Brad's salary had been raised to $10 million, and there were rumors within some companies that even fifteen million would be fine. You must know that during the "Seven Deadly Sins" period, Brad's salary as a leading actor was only $4 million - even if you add the one million after the box office exceeded the expected line, it was only five million.

The miracle of the "Twelve Monkeys" has just begun.

Although the results of "Twelve Monkeys" made the whole of North America sigh, Brad rode the wind and waves and made a rainbow of momentum; But even the "New York Post" will not stupidly say that Hugo's dynasty is over, not only because Hugo is still the most appealing top superstar in the world, but also because the excellent performance of "Death Row Walk" makes them have to shut up!
