The $45 million debut box office, even among Hugo's personal box office history, can be ranked second, only behind "Independence Day", surpassing "Life and Death", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Los Angeles Confidential", such outstanding results together prove to everyone: Hugo's box office appeal in the summer is incomparable!

Especially compared with the investment of 60 million US dollars in "Truman's World", this premiere data is even more outstanding, although this is only the first week of the film's release, but from the media, the audience's word-of-mouth feedback can be seen that there is no problem with this work to achieve profitability - the focus is how much can be profitable, can the final box office of "Truman's World" exceed the "Seven Deadly Sins" and cross the 200 million threshold? Can it surpass the record of "Los Angeles Confidential" and hit 300 million?

This is the topic that people are most concerned about, and it is also people's confidence in Hugo's box office appeal.

In the face of the strength of "Truman's World", "Super Perfect Murder" did not show weakness, and the large-scale release of 3,000 theaters far exceeded the scale of its competitors, becoming the largest screening in the first week of June, demonstrating the strong confidence of Warner Bros.

From the screening theater to the publicity, from the topic rendering to the degree of attention, it can be said that Warner Bros. has focused almost all its resources on the "Super Perfect Murder Case". Relatively speaking, three weeks before the release of "Truman's World", "Heaven and Earth Collision" was also Paramount's own production, because Paramount's estimate of "Truman's World" performance was skewed - not Paramount's fault, after "Independence Day", the disaster movie itself was highly anticipated, coupled with the frenzy set off by "Titanic", and the box office pull of science fiction disaster movies in the summer file was originally higher than that of comedy movies, so Paramount almost concentrated most of its strength on "Heaven and Earth Collision", There is nothing wrong with that.

Therefore, "Super Perfect Murder" can almost be said to occupy the right time and place, even if people are still optimistic about "Truman's World" winning the box office in the first weekend of June, but the potential of "Super Perfect Murder" must not be underestimated. But the truth is that in the end, the premiere box office results of "Super Perfect Murder" were still unsatisfactory - not only unsatisfactory, but even disappointing.

Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow's combined appeal is not worth mentioning in front of the name "Hugo Lancaster", it is like a piece of paper, even with countless additional forces, but the final opening weekend box office result is only 16 million dollars, so the box office data is not only completely blown up by "Truman's world", but even for itself, this result is not outstanding at all.

Lost the box office, lost word of mouth, lost face, and lost Lizi.

People had expected such an ending, "Super Perfect Murder" could not launch an effective attack on "Truman's World", and Hugo's aura would still make the audience in the first week of June frantically pour into the "Truman's World" venue, forming a strong suppression of "Super Perfect Murder". But even the "Los Angeles Times" did not expect that the final victory of "Truman's World" would be so hearty, and the "Super Perfect Murder" actually ushered in a crisp defeat, as if the powerful propaganda momentum and huge cast were simply vulnerable.

The overwhelming defeat is almost stunning!

Sixteen million versus forty-five million, there is no comparison at all, as if it is a movie that has been in theaters for three weeks and is facing the work that premiered this week, "Truman's World" has completely exploded the "Super Perfect Murder" with a crushing attitude, and the absolutely strong performance has caused an exclamation.

In the face of such a poor result of "Super Perfect Murder", the media did not even mention the film with much interest, even the gossip between Gwyneth and Hugo was unpleasant, as if it was just a tasteless and deliberate hype - and the reporters knew that Hugo would not have any interest in these news, so Gwyneth's criticism of Hugo at the premiere was like a grain of sand falling into the sea, with a little ripple, not even a splash, It disappeared in the blink of an eye. Is this a good thing for Gwyneth? Or is it a bad thing?

Compared with the lace news of "Super Perfect Murder", the excellent performance of "Truman's World" to make history is more worthy of discussion, almost everyone is lamenting the new box office record of comedy films, and almost everyone is singing praises for Hugo to write history again.

In the head-to-head showdown between "Truman's World" and "Super Perfect Murder", two movies released on the same day, there is no doubt that the former will win with a shocking victory.

Another focus of this week is the collision of Hugo and Roland Emmerich, "Godzilla" has come to the third week of release this week, the cumulative box office in the previous two weeks came to 99 million US dollars, this week has successfully exceeded 100 million at the box office before Friday, but the box office trend of the movie is not optimistic, the box office fell as much as 59% the next week, which is definitely not good news for the investment cost of 130 million, this week "Godzilla" 's decline will determine whether the film retains its hopes of hitting $150 million at the North American box office.

It can be said that this week is crucial for "Godzilla", Sony Columbia Pictures wants to rely on the North American box office to achieve profitability, it is almost impossible, but at least to ensure that the North American box office can exceed the book cost, and then rely on the overseas box office to achieve the ultimate goal of profitability, which is also what Sony Columbia Pictures desperately wants.

Therefore, how much box office will be stolen by "Truman's World", how much pressure will be brought to "Godzilla", and what kind of answer will Hugo and Roland, the two heroes who jointly created the miracle of "Independence Day", be handed over, which are all very interesting topics.

Now, the answer is revealed.

The $45 million opening of "Truman's World" has had an impact on the entire film market, with 20 films in North America generating only $88 million this week, while "Truman's World" alone accounts for more than 50 percent, and all other films are inevitably squeezed.

In the end, "Godzilla" fell by as much as 47 percent this week, which was the biggest drop of the week, except for a few works that were released for more than a month. It can be clearly felt that "Godzilla" has been the most affected, on the one hand, the strong momentum of "Truman's World" further promotes the audience to choose the former when choosing between Hugo and Roland; On the one hand, "Godzilla" was trapped by its own quality and was not able to attract more audiences.

In just three weeks after the release of "Godzilla", the weekend box office had already dropped to less than 10 million, and only 9.7 million box office was earned in three days, pushing the film's cumulative box office to $114 million. This is undoubtedly bad news, marking the complete destruction of the film's hopes of hitting $150 million, and even the cost line of reaching $130 million is already in jeopardy.

Hugo and Roland duel - Hugo wins!

This is also the result that everyone expected, when the "Independence Day" achieved a record-breaking box office result, and most of the credit was attributed to Hugo's name. Compared with Roland, a great director, Hugo, as the first actor, is undoubtedly the biggest hero. And this time too, the confrontation between "Godzilla" and "Truman's world", which is not considered confrontational, ended with the heavy losses of the former and the writing of history by the latter.

In the first week of June, "Truman's World", "Super Perfect Murder", and "Godzilla" were the top three in the North American weekend box office charts, but almost all the focus was on the champion, not only because this is Hugo's work, not only because the $45 million winning result set a new high this year, and also set a new record in the history of comedy films, but also because the film itself has become the carrier of the biggest focus in the past two years!

Needless to say, the birth of "Truman's World" immediately ignited a wave of frenzy in this year's summer file, under the cover of the $45 million premiere box office, the discussion about the film is becoming more and more enthusiastic, not only film critics, but more audiences have also joined the discussion, thanks to "Truman's World" presents those profound and obscure topics in an easy-to-understand way like a black fairy tale, so that the audience can easily read and produce more understanding.

With the full release of the movie, the theater score slipped from "A+" to "A", although the score has declined, but it can obviously be felt that the decline is very limited, and the sample increases, "Truman's World" still has the support and praise of the audience, and this performance also complements the media comprehensive evaluation and the premiere box office, which really pushes such a comedy film to the peak of history.

As a comedy film, the frenzy of reflection triggered by "Truman's World" is far beyond imagination, even more profound than many feature films, and it is not for nothing that Roger Ebert compares this film to "Forrest Gump".

Now, after the opening weekend box office explosion, the discussion has become more and more complex, more and more enthusiastic, more esoteric, and more and more high-end. In the absence of the Internet as a platform for speech, countless viewers have begun to submit articles to major newspapers and magazines, desperately hoping to find a person to exchange their opinions.

Seeing such a situation, the "Chicago Tribune" ingeniously opened up a special topic for readers' letters to publish favorites, which actually triggered a series of chain reactions, pushing the film "Truman's World" further forward in the position of a classic masterpiece, and vaguely developing in the direction of a masterpiece, which was also unexpected by everyone.
